  • N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids were successfully prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids enhanced absorption in the visible light region, and exhibited higher activity for photocatalytic degradation of model dyes. Based on the experimental results, a visible light induced photocatalytic mechanism was proposed for N-doped anatase $TiO_2$ microcuboids.

  • To investigate the ultrastructural features of rat back skin tumor induced by 7, 12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene(DMBA), morphological changes during carcinogenesis were undertaken by the light and the electron microscopes. On the light microscopic levels, dysplasia was observed at the 6th week of treatment with 0.5% DMBA, hyperplasia at the 8th week, and carcinoma in sitv or invasive carcinoma at the 12th week. In addition to those characteristics, papillomatosis was observed at the 18th week. Under the electron microscopy, intercellular spaces were enlarged in the early phase. Nucleolar enlargement, the increase of free ribosomes, the condensation of tonofibrils, and the irregular arrangement of desmosomes appeared at the 6th week of application. Thereafter, the degradation of desmosomes and the discontinuity of basal lamina were characterized. And then, epidermal cell processes were protruded toward the connective tissue at the site of discontinuity of basal lamina at the 12th week. At the 14th to 18th week, DMBA-induced fibrosarcomas or papillomas were observed.

  • In this paper, the degradation evaluation method of VLC (Visible Light Communication) wireless module after high dose rate gamma-ray irradiation using the thermal infrared camera is proposed. First, the heating characteristics of the active devices embedded in the VLC wireless module during the condition of normal operation is monitored by thermal infrared camera. By the image processing technique, the trends of the intensity of the heat emitted by the active devices are calculated and stored. The feature of the blob area including the area of the active devices in the thermal infrared image is extracted and stored. The feature used in this paper is the mean value of the gray levels in the blob area. The same VLC module has been gamma irradiated at the dose rate of about 4.0 kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. And then, the heating characteristics of the active devices embedded in the VLC wireless module after high dose gamma ray irradiation is observed by thermal infrared camera. The high dose gamma-ray induced degradation of the active devices embedded in the VLC module was evaluated by comparing the mean value of the blob area to the one of the same blob area of the VLC module before the gamma ray irradiation.

  • 태양광 발전소에 설치된PERC 태양광 모듈 스트링-어레이는 고전압의 전위차로 인해 여전히 potential-induced degradation(PID) 열화 현상이 여전히 보고되고 있다. 이는 태양전지 모듈 커버글라스의 Na+ 이온이 태양전지 봉지재(EVA)를 투과하여 셀 표면으로 전이되고 결함이 많이 분포되어 있는 ARC(SiOx/SiNx) 계면에 양전하가 축적됨으로써 shunt-Resistance(Rsh)가 감소되고 누설전류량이 증가되어 태양전지 출력이 저하되는 현상이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 방지하기 위해 나노임프린트 리소그래피(nano-imprint lithography, NIL) 방식을 이용하여 모스아이(Moth-eye) 나노 구조를 광학 필름 후면에 증착 하였고, 이를 커버글라스와 EVA 사이에 삽입하여 태양광 미니 모듈을 구성하였다. PID 열화 현상을 확인하기 위해 IEC 62804-1 규격에 기반한 셀 단위 PID 열화가속시험을 진행하였고, Light I-V, Dark I-V 분석을 통해 출력(Pmax), 효율(Efficiency), 병렬 저항(shunt resistance)을 확인하였다. 그 결과 기존의 태양전지는 초기 효율 19.76%에서 6.3% 감소하였으나 모스아이 나노 구조 광학 필름(Moth-eye film)이 적용된 태양전지는 0.6% 만 감소하여 PID 열화 현상이 방지되는 것을 확인하였고, 모스아이 나노구조를 통해 투과도가 4% 향상되어 미니 모듈 출력이 2.5% 향상되었다.

  • The disassembly of Chl-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence (DIS) was investigated using detached third and fourthleaves of 21$\pm$1 day-old Arabidopsis thaliana. Although Chl content decreased linearly after 1 d, a significant decrease of photochemical effeciency (Fv/Fm) was observed after 2 d. In experiments using native green gel electrophoresis of Chl-protein complexes combined with additional two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis, we could observe the degradation of both photosystems after 2 d. Although light-harvesting complex(LHC) for PSI (LHCI) was degraded first in PSI complex, small PSII apoproteins including CP47/CP43 and D1/D2 apoproteins were degraded first in PSII complexes. LHC for PSII (LHCII) trimers were stable until 4 d. The level of LHCII monomers was increased until 3 and decreased thereafter, resulting in the increase of free pigments. These results suggest that the disassembly process of PSI is different from that of PSII.

  • Most of the world's solar cells in photovoltaic industry are currently fabricated using crystalline silicon. Czochralski-grown silicon crystals are more expensive than multicrystalline silicon crystals. The future of solar-grade Czochralski-grown silicon crystals crucially depends on whether it is usable for the mass-production of high-efficiency solar cells or not. It is generally believed that the main obstacle for making solar-grade Czochralski-grown silicon crystals a perfect high-efficiency solar cell material is presently light-induced degradation problem. In this work, the substitution of boron with gallium in p-type silicon single crystal is studied as an alternative to reduce the extent of lifetime degradation. The diamond-wire sawing technology is employed to slice the silicon ingot. In this paper, the quality of the diamond wire-sawn gallium-doped silicon wafers is studied from the chemical, electrical and structural points of view. It is found that the characteristic of gallium-doped silicon wafers including texturing behavior and surface metallic impurities are same as that of conventional boron-doped Czochralski crystals.

  • 현재 상용으로 많이 사용되는 p-type 태양전지는 Dopant로 사용된 Boron이 $O_2$와 결합하면서 Light induced degradation이 발생하여 태양 전지 효율의 감소를 불러일으키는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되었는데 일반적으로 n-type wafer를 이용함으로써 Light induced degradation을 해결하는 방법이 주로 사용된다. n-type 태양전지를 제조함에 있어서 보다 높은 효율을 달성하기 위하여 태양전지 후면 구조에 local contact 개념을 도입하여 rear local emitter를 형성함으로써 전체적인 효율 증가를 도모하였다. 이러한 local contact을 제조하기 위해서는 전기적으로 구조적으로 고려할 사항들이 여러 가지 존재한다. 따라서 우리는 이러한 고려 사항들을 실험적인 방법으로 결정하는 것이 아니라, 정교한 변수 통제를 이용한 시뮬레이션으로 최종적인 효율 상승을 가져오는 조건을 찾으려고 한다. 이때 사용될 수 있는 시뮬레이션은 여러 가지 종류가 존재하는데 우선 상용 태양전지의 해석에 가장 많이 사용되는 PC1D프로그램이 있다. 그러나 PC1D의 경우에는 1차원의 해석만 가능하기 때문에 local contact의 2차원 이상의 구조 변화에 따른 최종적인 효율을 계산하는데 무리가 따르게 된다. 따라서 2차원 이상의 형상에 대한 분석이 가능한 프로그램을 이용하여 실제 셀에서 일어나는 현상을 더 정밀하게 모사함으로써 local contact에서 일어나는 전기적, 구조적 변화가 최종적인 효율에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 파악해볼 것이며, 어떤 구조를 선택하였을 때 가장 높은 효율을 달성할 수 있는지 알아보려고 한다.

  • NAA, GA$_{3}$ 및 BA등의 식물 호르몬이 노화중인 강남콩 잎의 엽록소-단백질 복합체의 분해에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 노화의 대표적인 특징인 엽록소의 소실은 엽록소-단백질 복합체의 분해를 수반하였다. 암유도 노화과정동안, PSI 복합체는 급격히 감소한 반면 RC-Core3은 오히려 조화 중기까지 조금씩 증가하다가 이후 서서히 분해되었다. 그리고 LHCII는 노화 과정 후기부터 점진적으로 분해되었다. NAA와 GA$_{3}$는 노화동안 엽록소-단백질 복합체의 분해를 억제하는데 거의 영향을 미치지 못 하였다. 그러나 BA는 노화 과정동안 엽록소-단백질 복합체, 특히 RC-Core1, RC-Core2와 SC-1의 분해를 억제하는데 매우 효과적이었다. 한편 식물 호르몬과 광선의 동시 처리에 있어서, BA와 광선의 동시 처리는 노화 과정동안 엽록소-단백질 복합체, 특히 PSI, LHCII, RC-Core2, RC-Core3과 SC-1의 분해를 억제하는데 가장 효과적이었다. 이와 같은 결과에서 노화 과정동안 엽록소-단백질 복합체는 BA 혹은 광선의 단독 처리보다 BA와 광선의 동시 처리에 의하여 보다 높은 안정성을 가질 것으로 사료된다.

  • The purpose of this work is to investigate a back surface field (BSF) on variety wafer resistivity for industrial crystalline silicon solar cells. As pointed out in this manuscript, doping a crucible grown Cz Si ingot with Ga offers a sure way of eliminating the light induced degradation (LID) because the LID defect is composed of B and O complex. However, the low segregation coefficient of Ga in Si causes a much wider resistivity variation along the Ga doped Cz Si ingot. Because of the resistivity variation the Cz Si wafer from different locations has different performance as know. In the light of B doped wafer, we made wider resistivity in Si ingot; we investigated the how resistivities work on the solar cells performance as a BSF quality.

  • Indoor air pollutants can cause severe health problems, specifically in terms of toxicological impacts on human. Every day, a complex mixture of many air pollutants is emitted from various sources and subject to atmospheric processes that can create varied classes of pollutants such as carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, peroxyacetyl nitrate, and hydrocarbons. To adhere to indoor air quality standards, a number of techniques such as photocatalytic oxidation of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been employed. Among these techniques, titania ($TiO_2$) based photocatalytic reactions have proven to be the best benchmark standard approach in the field of environmental applications. Over the last 45 years, $TiO_2$-based photocatalytic reactions have been explored for the degradation of various pollutants. This review discusses the indoor air quality profile, types of indoor pollutants, available indoor air cleaning approaches, and performance of $TiO_2$-based catalysts. Finally, we have presented the perspectives on the progress of $TiO_2$ induced photocatalysis for the purification of indoor air.
