The MLR(Multiple Linear Regression) models to estimate soluble solids content non-destructively were presented to make a selection of optimal photosensor utilized to measure the soluble solids content of apples. Visible and NIR absorbance in the 400 to 2498 nanometer(nm) wavelength region, soluble solids content(sugar content), hardness, and weight were measured for 400 apples(gala). Spectrophotometer with fiber optic probe was utilized for spectrum measurement and digital refractometer was used for soluble solids content. Correlation between absorbance spectrum and soluble solids content was analyzed to pick out the optimal wavelengths and to develop corresponding prediction model by means of MLR. For the coefficient of determination($R^2$) to be over 0.92, the MLR models out of the original absorbance were built based on 7 wavelengths of 992, 904, 1096, 1032, 880, 824, 1048nm, and the ones of the second derivative absorbance based on 5 wavelengths of 784, 1056, 992, 808, 872nm. The best model of the second derivative absorbance spectrum had $R^2$=0.91, bias= -0.02bx, SEP=0.28bx for unknown samples.

Synthesis and structural characterization of peripherally ferrocene-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc-Fc) were carried out for efficient far-red/near-IR performance in dye-sensitized nanostructured $TiO_2$ solar cells. Incorporating ferrocene into phthalocyanine strongly improved the dye solubility in polar organic solvents, and reduced surface aggregation due to the steric effect of bulky ferrocene substituents. The involvement of electron transfer reaction pathways between ferrocene and phthalocyanine in ZnPc-Fc was evidenced by completely quenched fluorescence from S1 state (< 0.08% vs ZnPc). Strong absorption bands at 542 and 682 nm were observed in the transient absorption spectroscopy of ZnPc-Fc in DMSO, which was excited at a 670 nm laser pulse with a 15 ps full width at half maximum. Also, the excited state absorption signals at 450 - 600 and 750 - 850 nm appeared from the formation of charge separated state of phthalocyanine's anion. The lifetime of the charge separate state in ZnPc-Fc was determined to be $170{\pm}8$ ps, which was almost 17 times shorter than that of the ZnPc.

Rice is one of the most important cereals in the world. Japanese people use about 9 million tons of rice per you. We use rice for cooked rice as staple foods and for processing, such as rice wine (sake), rice crackers and miso fermentation, etc. Palatability, eating quality, of rice is evaluated by the sensory test and various kinds of physicochemical measurements. Japanese National Food Agency started the storage of 1.5 million tones of rice in 1996. We carried out the storage test using high quality rices since 1995 until 1996. As indices for the quality deteriorations of rice grains during the storage, germination ratio, enzyme activities, fat acidity, physical properties of cooked rice were clarified to be useful. We applied colorimetric method for the measurements of fat acidities in the place of titration method. Processing suitabilities of rice differ depending on the products. Low amylose rice is more suitable for soft rice crackers and high amylose rice is preferred more for rice noodle. Pre-cooked rice products, such as frozen cooked rice, retort-pouched rice and aseptic rice, are increasing recently in Japan. In addition to above-mentioned physico-chemical tests, NIR spectroscopy,“Midometer”and“Taste sensor”are novel and useful to evaluate eating quality and processing suitabolities. Recently, rice wholesalers and retailers have been obligated to display the name of cultivar, location of cultivation and the year of production of rice grains which they sell by the Japanese Agricultural Standard Law (JAS). In order to detect the dishonest labeling of rice cultivars, we developed new cultivar identification method based on DNA polymorphism.

We have been carrying out near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as well as [Fe II] narrow band imaging observations of Cassiopeia A supernova remnant (SNR). In this presentation, we describe the spectral classification of the iron knots around the SNR. From eight long-slit spectroscopic observations for the iron-bright shell, we identified a total of 61 iron knots making use of a clump-finding algorithm, and performed principal component analysis in an attempt to spectrally classify the iron knots. Three major components have emerged from the analysis; (1) Iron-rich, (2) Helium-rich, and (3) Sulfur-rich groups. The Helium-rich knots have low radial velocities (${\mid}v_r{\mid}$ < 100 km/s) and radiate strong He I and [Fe II] lines, that match well with Quasi-Stationary Flocculi (QSFs) of circumstellar medium, while the Sulfur-rich knots show strong lines of oxygen burning materials with large radial velocity up to +2000 km/s, which imply that they are supernova ejecta (i.e. Fast-Moving Knots). The Iron-rich knots have intermediate characteristics; large velocity with QSF-like spectra. We suggest that the Iron-rich knots are missing "pure" iron materials ejected from the inner most region of the progenitor and now encountering the reverse shock.

1. 시료의 흡광도는 입도가 커짐에 따라 전체 파장 영역에 걸쳐 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 가시광 영역에서는 입도 보다도 색상의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 2. 시료의 함수율과 각 파장에서의 흡광도 사이의 상관관계는 550~950nm 영역에서는 상관계수가 0.53이하로 작았으며, 물의 흡수파장대역인 1430 nm 부근에서는 0.85~0.87로 높게 나타났다. 3. 각 시료들의 반사 스펙트럼을 이용하여 세 가지 파장 영역에 대해 PLS회귀모델과 MLR 모델에 의한 함수율 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 모든 시료에서 PLS회귀모델이 MLR 회귀 모델보다 예측성능이 우수하였다. 4. PLS회귀 모델에서 전처리 효과를 분석한 결과, 시료의 입도에 따른 흡광도의 차이를 보정하기 위해 평활화, 미분, MSC, SNV 등의 전처리가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 전체시료에 대해 함수율 예측을 위한 PLS회귀모델을 개발한 결과 400~2500nm영역에서의 개발된 모델의 예측성능은 $R^2$=0.9986, SEP=0.2166, 900~1700nm영역에서의 모델은 $R^2$=0.9985, SEP=0.2233이었으며 550~950nm 영역에서의 모델은 $R^2$=0.9838, SEP=0.7405로 나타났다. 각 시료의 종류별로 회귀모델을 개발할 경우 상기 결과보다 SEP가 더욱 작게 나타났다. 6. 이 연구 결과에 의하면 현재 시판되고 있는 실시간 분광기를 이용할 경우 시료의 입도에 무관한 온라인 함수율 측정장치의 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

SPOES(Self Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy)는 반도체 및 LCD 제조 장비의 Foreline에 장착되는 센서로써, Foreline에 흐르는 Gas를 이온화시켜 이때 발생되는 빛을 분광시켜 공정의 상태 및 장비의 상태등을 종합적으로 점검할 수 있는 센서입니다. SPOES의 최대 장점은 공정 장비에 영향을 주기 않으면서 공정을 진단할 수 있고, 장비의 메인챔버에서 플라즈마 방전이 발생하지 않는 RPS (Remote Plasma System)등에 적용이 가능하며, 설치 및 분해이동과 운용이 용이한 장점이 있습니다. 하지만, SPOES는 오염성 가스 및 물질에 의한 오염에 취약한 단점이 있습니다. 예컨대, 플라즈마 방전에 의한 부산물들이 SPOES의 내부에 있는 윈도우의 렌즈에 부착되어 감도를 저하시켜, SEOES의 수명을 단축시킵니다. 또한 오염 물질이 SPOES 내부의 방전 CHAMBER에 증착되어 플라즈마 방전 효울을 저하시켜 센서의 효율을 저하시킵니다. 예를들면, 장비의 공정 챔버에서 배출되는 탄소와 같은 비금속성 오염물질과 텅스텐과 같은 금속성 오염물질이 SPOES의 방전 CHAMBER 내벽과 윈도우에 증착되어 오염을 유발합니다. 오염이 진행된 SPOES는 방전 CHAMBER의 오염으로 CHAMBER의 유전율을 변화시켜, 플라즈마 방전 효율의 저하를 가져오고, 윈도우의 오염은 빛의 투과율을 저하시켜, OES 신호의 감도를 저하시켜, SPOES 감도를 저하시키는 요인으로 작용합니다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위한 방법으로 능동형 오염 방지 기술을 채용 하였습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법은 SPEOS의 방전 챔버에서 플라즈마 방전시 발생하는 진공의 밀도차를 이용하는 기술과 방전 챔버와 연결된 BYPASS LINE에 의해 발생되는 오염물질 자체 배기 시스템, 그리고 고밀도 플라즈마 방전을 일으키는 멀티 RF 기술 및 고밀도 방전을 일으키는 챔버 구조로 구성 되어 있습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법으로 반도체 공정에서 6개월 이상의 LIFETIME을 확보 할 수 있고, 고밀도 플라즈마로 인한 UV~NIR 영역의 감도 향상등을 확보 할 수 있습니다.

Black cobalt solar selective coatings were prepared by thermal oxidation of electroplated cobalt metal on copper and nickel substrates. The optical properties and structure of the black cobalt selective coating for solar energy utilizations were characterized by glow discharge spectrometry (GDS), ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) spectrometer, atom force microscopy(AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The optical properties of optimum black cobalt selective coating prepared on copper substrate were a solar absorptance of 0.82 and a thermal emittance of 0.01. From the GDS depth profile analysis of these coatings, the concentration of cobalt particles near the interface was higher than at the surface, but oxygen concentration at the surface was higher than at the interface. These results suggest that the selective absorption was dominated by this chemical composition variation in the coating. The surface of this film exhibited morphology with root-mean-square(rms) roughness of about 144.3nm. XPS measurements data showed that several phases of Co coexist($Co_3O_4$,CoO) in the film.

In this paper, we investigated the electronic structures and defect states of $SrLaMgTaO_6$ (SLMTO) double perovskite structures by using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Recently, $Eu^{3+}$ doped SLMTO red phosphors have been vigorously investigated due to their higher red emission efficiency compared to commercial white light emitting diodes (W-LED). However, a comprehensive understanding on the electronic structures and defect states of host SLMTO compounds, which are specifically related to the W-LED and photoluminescence (PL), is far from complete. Here, we found that the PL spectra of SLMTO powder compounds sintered at a higher temperature, $1400^{\circ}C$, were weaker in the blue emission regions (at around 400 nm) and became enhanced in near infrared (NIR) regions compared to those sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. To elucidate the difference of the PL spectra, we performed resonant inelastic x-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) at Ta L-edge. Our RIXS result implies that the microscopic origin of different PL spectra is not relevant to the Ta-related defects and oxygen vacancies.

To enhance the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells, we proposed crystalline anatase-$TiO_{2}$ by using a low temperature process ($150^{\circ}C{\sim}250^{\circ}C$). We successfully fabricated 30 nm-$TiO_{2}$ at a fixed atomic layer deposition condition of 1.0 sec of TDMAT pulse, 20 sec of TDMAT purge, 0.5 sec of H$_{2}$O pulse, and 20 sec of H$_{2}$O purge. In order to examine the microstructure, phase, and band-gap of the TiO$_{2}$ respectively, we employed a Nano-Spec, transmission electron microscope, high resolution XRD, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning probe microscope, and UV-VIS-NIR. We were able to fabricate a crystalline anatase-phase of 30 nm-TiO$_{2}$ successfully at temperatures above $180^{\circ}C$. Our results showed that our proposed low temperature ALD process (below $200^{\circ}C$) might be applicable to glass and flexible polymer substrates.

We fabricated thermally evaporated 10 nm-Ni/1 nm-Ir/(poly)Si films to investigate the energy saving property of silicides formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at the temperature range of $300{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ for 40 seconds. Moreover, we fabricated 100 nm-thick ITO/(poly)Si films with an rf-sputter as references. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) and an X-ray diffractometer were used to determine cross-sectional microstructure and phase changes. A UV-VIS-NIR and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) were employed for near-IR and middle-IR absorbance. Through TEM analysis, we confirmed 20~65 nm-thick silicide layers formed on the single and polycrystalline silicon substrates. Ir-inserted nickel silicide on single crystalline substrate showed almost the same absorbance in near IR region as well as ITO, but Ir-inserted nickel silicide on polycrystalline substrate, which had the uniform absorbance in specific region, showed better absorbance in near IR region than ITO. The Ir-inserted nickel silicide on polycrystalline substrate particularly showed better absorbance in middle IR region than ITO. The results imply that nano-thick Ir-inserted nickel silicides may have excellent absorbing capacity in near-IR and middle-IR region.
