  • To develop a methodology for absolute determination of the surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films, medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) spectroscopy was utilized to provide references for calibration of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or Fourier transformation-infrared (FT-IR) intensities. By using the MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR techniques, we were able to analyze the organic thin film of a Ru dye compound ($C_{58}H_{86}O_8N_8S_2Ru$), which consists of one Ru atom and various stoichiometric functional groups. From the MEIS analysis, the absolute surface areal density of Ru atoms (or Ru dye molecules) was determined. The surface areal densities of stoichiometric functional groups in the Ru dye compound were used as references for the calibration of XPS and FT-IR intensities for each functional group. The complementary use of MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR to determine the absolute surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films will be useful for more reliable development of applications based on organic thin films in areas such as flexible displays, solar cells, organic sensors, biomaterials, and biochips.

  • Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) second harmonic generation (SHG) waveguide devices for a green light generation were fabricated by a periodically patterned electrode on the +Z crystal surface and homogeneous LiCl solution using a 5 mol% MgO doped congruent z-cut lithium niobate crystals. Using selective chemical etching, we confirmed the periodic (${\sim}6.8{\mu}m$) domain inverted structure and measured SHG properties of fabricated periodically poled MgO : $LiNbO_3$ ridge-type waveguides.

  • When external field was applied to congruent $LiNbO_3$, it was investgated for domain formation and expansion of $LiNbO_3$. The domain wall velocities of 0.5 mm thickness $LiNbO_3$ were 28.70, 16.02 and $5.75{\mu}m/sec$ under poling field of 23.5, 22.0 and 21.0 kV/mm, respectively. As $1 M{\Omega}$ resistor was used in domain inversion system, harmonic domain inversion was not achieved by rapid domain expansion. And 50% duty cycle periodically poled $LiNbO_3$ have been fabricated by charge control using $10 M{\Omega}$ resistor.

  • Periodic electric field assisted poling low loss (${\sim}0.1dB/cm$) single-mode Ti-diffused waveguides in $LiNbO_3$ has been achieved using a periodically patterned electrode on the +Z surface of Ti : $LiNbO_3$ crystal and homogeneous LiCl solution. Using selective chemical etching, we confirmed the periodic (${\sim}16{\mu}m$) domain inverted structure and measured SH (second harmonic) properties of fabricated periodically poled Ti : $LiNbO_3$ waveguides.

  • Purpose: For optimizing properties of final glasses frame, the aim of this study is to examine the correlation of processing conditions and properties of cellulose acetate (CA) sheets through the investigation of properties of CA sheets prepared under processing steps. Methods: The properties of CA sheets were investigated in terms of different glasses frame processing conditions, bending process, barrel process, and ultrasonic cleaning process. CA sheets prepared through the sequential processing were examined by various analysis: gloss, mechanical properties, thermal properties. Results: After barrel process, hardness and tensile strength of CA sheet were increased. However, bending strength and impact strength were decreased. It is suggested the CA sheet had became rather stiff state (brittle). Also, in degradation temperature region of plasticizer, about 3% of reduction in plasticizer weight was confirmed upon TGA analysis. Conclusions: Glasses frame process, especially in the barrel process have a profound influence on the properties of CA sheet owing to reduction of total amount of plasticizer.

  • Surface Engineering is a field closely related to Tribology. Surfaces are engineered to reduce adhesion, friction and wear between moving components in engineering applications. On the contrary, it is also necessary to have high adhesion between surfaces so as to hold/stick surfaces together. In this context, surface engineering plays an important role. In recent times, scientists are drawing inspiration from nature to create effective artificial adhesive surfaces. This article provides some examples of novel surface engineering approaches conducted by various research groups worldwide that have significantly contributed in the creation of bio-inspired artificial adhesive surfaces.

  • In addition to the instability of energy import costs caused by the depletion of petroleum resources, which is a representative energy resource, and the strengthening of various regulations such as the convention on climate change, the plant for bio energy production, which is being watched as the next generation energy, and became subject of various complaints. In order to solve this problem, the bio-plant is underground and the ground is parked, making the convenience and accessibility of citizens more and more accessible. In this situation, the development of bioenergy production technology also increases the risk factor in bioenergy production process. Accordingly this paper explains method about apply the wide angle camera based AOA algorithm to the bio plant to prevent the accidents from spreading due to the lack of facilities and safety devices and the aging of the facilities and suggests a technique that can quickly identify the location and direction when it occurs.
