In this study, an experimental approach to measure a suite of low weight hydrocarbons was investigated with an emphasis on ethylene (EL) along with many others (ethane (EA), propane (PA), propylene (PL), n-butane (BA), acetylene (AL), methyl acetylene (ML)). Their concentrations were quantified using GC-FID system equipped with thermal desorption (TD) system. The TD-based analysis was conducted using both Link Tube/Thermal Desorber (LT/TD) method and Modified Injection through a Thermal Desorption (MITD) method. The results of these analyses were evaluated in a number of respects. The system allowed the detection of all compounds except methane with the mean response factor (RF) of 10.28 (EA) to 11.94 (PL). The method detection limits of target compounds were seen in the range of 0.027 (ML) to 0.146 ng (BA). The emission flux of some environmental samples (fruits), when measured using a small flux chamber system, fell in the range of 0.14 (AL: Kiwi) to $181ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ (EL: Apple Peel). The results of this study confirm that the experimental approach developed in this study allows to accurately measure emissions of low weight hydrocarbons (LWHC) like ethylene from various natural and man-made source processes.

The Modified Multi-Quantum Well(MMQWAl) structures have been grown by Mental-Organic chemical Vapor Deposition(MOCVD) method and stripe type MMQW laser diodes have been investigated. In the case of GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice and quantum well growth by MOCVD, the periodicity, interface abruptess, Al compositional uniformity and layer thickness have been confirmed though the shallow angle lapping technique, double crystal x-ray diffractometry (DCXD) and photoluminescence (PL) measurement. stripe-type MMQW laser diodes have been fabricated using the process technology of photolithography, chemical etching, ohmic contact, back side removing and cleaving. As the result of the electrical and opticalmeasurement of these laser diodes, we have achieved the series resistance of $1[\Omega}~2{\Omega}$ by current-voltage measurements, the threshold current of 200-300mA by currnt-light measurements and the lasing wavelength of 8000-8400$\AA$ by lasing spectrum measurements.

자발형성법(Self-assembled)을 이용한 InAs 양자점(Quantum dots)은 성장법의 고유한 물리적 한계로 길이방향에 대한 수직방향 비율(Aspect ratio, AR)이 상대적으로 작은 값을 갖는다. 기존에 보고된 바에 따르면 GaAs 기판에 형성한 InAs 양자점은 일반적으로 AR이 0.3 정도를 보인다. 이러한 높이가 상대적으로 낮은 InAs 양자점은 수직방향으로 운반자(Carrier)의 파동함수 (Wave-function) 구속이 작게 되어 나노 양자점 구조의 0차원적 특성이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Arsenic 차단법(Interruption technique)을 이용한 수정자발형성법(Modified self-assembled method, MSAM)으로 InAs 양자점(MSAM-InAs 양자점)을 형성하고 성장 변수에 따라 광 및 구조적 특성을 평가하여 0차원 순도를 분석하였다. MSAM InAs 양자점을 성장하고 12 nm 두께의 GaAs spacer 층을 증착한 후 $600^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 Arsenic 분위기에서 열처리(Annealing)를 수행 한 후 다시 InAs을 증착 하였다. 이러한 과정을 5번 반복하여 높이 방향으로 형상을 개선시킨 InAs 양자점을(Vetically-controlled MSAM, VCMSAM) 성장하였다. 기존 자발형성법을 이용한 InAs 양자점과 MSAM-InAs 양자점 단일층 구조를 기준시료로 성장하였다. 상온 포토루미네슨스(Photoluminescence, PL) 실험에서 단일 MSAM InAs 양자점 및 VCMSAM 양자점 시료의 발광에너지는 각각 1.10 eV와 1.13 eV를 나타내었다. VCMSAM InAs 양자점 시료의 PL세기는 단일 MSAM 양자점보다 3.4배 증가되어, 확연히 높게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 높이 방향으로 운반자의 파동함수 구속력이 증가하여 구속준위 (Localized states)의 전자-정공의 파동함수중첩(Overlap integral)이 개선된 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 투과전자현미경(Transmission electron microscopy) 및 원자력간 현미경(Atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 구조적 특성을 평가하고 이를 비교 분석한 결과를 보고한다.

Grapehen, a single atomic layer of graphite, has been in the spotlight and researched in vaious fields, because its fine mechanical, electrical properties, flexibility and transparence. Synthesis methods for large-area graphene such as chemical vaper deposition (CVD) and mechanical, chemical exfoliation have been reported. In particular, chemical exfoliation method receive attention due to low cost process. Chemical exfoliation method require reduction of graphene oxide in the process of exfoliation such as chemical reduction by strong reductant, thermal reduction on high temperature, and optical reduction via ultraviolet light exposure. Among these reduction methods, optical reduction is free from damage by strong reductant and high temperature. However, optical reduction is economically infeasible because the high cost of short-wavelength ultraviolet light sorce. In this paper, we make graphene-oxide and lanthanoid ion mixture aqueous solution which has highly optical absorbency in selective wevelength region. Sequentially, we synthesize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) using the solution and visible laser beam. Concretely, graphene oxide is made by modified hummer's method and mix with 1 ml each ultraviolet ray absorbent Gd3+ ion, Green laser absorbent Tb3+ ion, Red laser absorbent Eu3+ ion. After that, we revivify graphene oxide by laser exposure of 300 ~ 800 nm layser 1mW/cm2 +. We demonstrate reproducibility and repeatability of RGO through FT-IR, UV-VIS, Low temperature PL, SEM, XPS and electrical measurement.

As a semiconductor material for electronic devices operated under extreme environmental conditions, silicon carbides (SiCs) have been intensively studied because of their excellent electrical, thermal and other physical properties. The growth characteristics of single-crystalline 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers grown by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were investigated. Especially, the successful growth condition of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers using a SiC-uncoated graphite susceptor that utilized Mo-plates was obtained. The CVD growth was performed in an RF-induction heated atmospheric pressure chamber and carried out using off-oriented substrates prepared by a modified Lely method. In order to investigate the crystallinity of grown epilayers, Nomarski optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence(PL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and other techniques were utilized. The best quality of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers was observed in conditions of growth temperature 1500$^{\circ}C$ and C/Si flow ratio 2.0 of C3H3 0.2sccm & SiH4 0.3sccm. The growth rate of epilayers was about 1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$/h in the above growth condition.

In this talk, I will introduce two topics. The first topic is the polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using graphene oxide quantum dots as emissive center. More specifically, the energy transfer mechanism as well as the origin of white electroluminescence in the PLED were investigated. The second topic is the facile synthesis of eco-friendly III-V colloidal quantum dots and their application to light emitting diodes. Polymer (organic) light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using quantum dots (QDs) as emissive materials have received much attention as promising components for next-generation displays. Despite their outstanding properties, toxic and hazardous nature of QDs is a serious impediment to their use in future eco-friendly opto-electronic device applications. Owing to the desires to develop new types of nanomaterial without health and environmental effects but with strong opto-electrical properties similar to QDs, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have attracted great interest as promising luminophores. However, the origin of electroluminescence (EL) from GQDs incorporated PLEDs is unclear. Herein, we synthesized graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) using a modified hydrothermal deoxidization method and characterized the PLED performance using GOQDs blended poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) as emissive layer. Simple device structure was used to reveal the origin of EL by excluding the contribution of and contamination from other layers. The energy transfer and interaction between the PVK host and GOQDs guest were investigated using steady-state PL, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experiments revealed that white EL emission from the PLED originated from the hybridized GOQD-PVK complex emission with the contributions from the individual GOQDs and PVK emissions. (Sci Rep., 5, 11032, 2015). New III-V colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized using the hot-injection method and the QD-light emitting diodes (QLEDs) using these CQDs as emissive layer were demonstrated for the first time. The band gaps of the III-V CQDs were varied by varying the metal fraction and by particle size control. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) results show that the crystal states of the III-V CQDs consist of multi-phase states; multi-peak photoluminescence (PL) resulted from these multi-phase states. Inverted structured QLED shows green EL emission and a maximum luminance of ~45 cd/m2. This result shows that III-V CQDs can be a good substitute for conventional cadmium-containing CQDs in various opto-electronic applications, e.g., eco-friendly displays. (Un-published results).

Transportation project appraisal should be precise in order to increase the social welfare and efficiency, and it has been evaluated by only a single criterion analysis such as benefit/cost analysis. However, this method cannot assess some qualitative items, and cannot get a proper solution for the clash of interests among various groups. Therefore, the multi-criteria analysis, which can control these problems, is needed, and then Saaty has developed one of these methods, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. In AHP, the project is evaluated through weighted score of the criteria and the alternatives, which is surveyed by a questionnaire of specialists. It is based on some strict suppositions such as reciprocal comparison, homogeneity, expectation, independence relationship between multi-criteria, but supposing that each criterion has independence relation with others is too difficult in two reasons. First, in real situation, there cannot be perfect independence relationship between standards. Second, individuals, even though they are specialists of that area, do not feel the degree of independence relation as same as others. This paper develops a modified AHP method for solving this dependence relationship between multi-criteria. First of all. in this method, the degree of dependence relationship between multi-criteria that the specialist feels is surveyed and included to the weighted score of multi-criteria This study supposes three methods to implement this idea. The first model products the degree of dependence relationship in the first step for calculating the weighted score, and the others adjust the result of weighted score from the basic AHP method to the dependence relationship. One of the second methods distributes the cross weighted score to each standard by constant ratio, and the other splits them using Fuzzy measure such as Bel and Pl. Finally, in order to validate these methods, this paper applies them to evaluate the alternatives which can control public resentments against Korean rail path in a city area.

탄소의 $sp^2$ 혼성으로 이루어진 2차원 단일시트(two-dimensional single sheet)인 그래핀은 기계적, 열역학적, 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하며 특히 고유연성과 투명성을 가진다는 장점 때문에 오랜 기간 주목 받으며 다양한 분야에서 연구되어 왔다. 이러한 그래핀을 만드는 방법에는 화학적 증기 증착법 및 흑연으로부터의 물리적, 화학적 박리 방법이 있다. 양질의 그래핀을 대면적에서 획득 할 수 있는 화학적 증기 증착법의 경우 높은 공정 비용과 함께 수반되어야 하는 전사과정의 어려움으로 인하여 실제 상용화에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점의 극복을 위해 대량의 그래핀을 저렴하게 확보 할 수 있는 화학적 박리 방법이 주목을 받고 있다. 화학적 박리 방법의 경우 박리 과정에서 수반되는 산화 그래핀의 환원과정이 필요하였으며, 이를 위해 강력한 환원제를 이용한 화학적 환원 방법, 고온에서의 열처리를 이용한 열역학적 환원 방법, 및 빛을 노광시켜 산화 그래핀을 환원시키는 광학적 방법이 시도되었다. 화학적 및 열역학적 환원방법의 경우 고품질의 환원된 산화 그래핀을 획득 할 수 있으나, 강한 환원제 및 높은 열처리 온도로 인하여 유연 기판의 사용이 제한되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 빛을 이용한 광학적 방법이 제시되었으나, 환원과정에 사용되는 단파장의 자외선 광원의 높은 가격으로 인하여 경제성의 확보가 제한된다. 본 논문에서는 우수한 광학적 특성을 보이는 란타넘족 이온을 사용하여 선택적 파장 대에서 높은 광흡수도를 가지는 산화 그래핀-란타넘 이온 혼합용액을 만들었으며, 가시광선대역의 파장을 가지는 레이저를 사용하여 우수한 품질을 가지는 환원된 산화 그래핀을 제작하였다. 구체적으로 산화 그래핀은 modified hummer's method를 이용하여 만들어졌으며, 자외선 대역을 흡수하는 $Gd_{3+}$, 녹색 레이저를 흡수하는 $Tb_{3+}$, 적색 레이저를 흡수하는 $Eu^{3+}$를 1 mM 섞어주었다. 그 후, 300~800 nm의 파장을 가지는 레이저를 $1mW/cm^2$를 노광시켜 산화 그래핀을 환원시켰다. 환원된 산화 그래핀의 특성은 FT-IR, UV-Vis, 저온 PL, SEM, XPS 및 전기측정을 이용해 측정하여 재현성 및 반복성을 확인하였다.
