Linear and nonlinear optical properties of CuCl nanocrystals in silica glass have been studied using low temperature absorption, degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM), and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Assuming a spherical shape, effective radius of the CuCl quantum dots was estimated to be 2.5 nm, which is obtained from low temperature absorption data. The DFWM experiment was performed in 380-386 nm wavelength region, and the diffracted signal was measured as a function of wavelength with 1.0 nm interval. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurement was also carried out at 77 K to obtain the time response of CuCl nanocrystals. The experimental results on the large third order nonlinear optical of CuCl quantum dots are explained in terms of crystal size and oscillator strength of quantum spheres.

We demonstrate a high-spatial-resolution imaging and spectroscopy tool using a solid immersion lens (SIL), a hemispherical lens made of high refractive index glass (n ~2). Photoluminescence (PL) images of single CdSe nanocrystals confirm a numerical aperture enhancement factor of ~2, close to the refractive index of the SIL. In particular, a bare-eye observation of PL signals emitted by single nanocrystals with ${\sim}10\;{\mu}m^{-2}$ densities was possible over an ${\sim}30\;{\mu}m$ diameter region. In addition, the PL spectra of single CdSe nanocrystals were successfully measured at room temperature. Thus, this SIL microscope ensures a simple but powerful method for nanostructure spectroscopy.

The effect of oxygen pressure in the synthesis of $SnO_2$ micro/nanocrystals through thermal evaporation of Sn powder was investigated. The thermal evaporation process was performed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr under various oxygen pressures. The pressure of oxygen changed from 10 to 500 Torr. The morphology of $SnO_2$ crystals changed drastically with oxygen pressure. $SnO_2$ nanoparticles with an average diameter of 120 nm were formed at oxygen pressure lower than 10 Torr. $SnO_2$ nanowires were grown under an oxygen pressure of 100 Torr. The nanowires have diameters in the range of 100 ~ 500 nm and lengths of several tens of micrometers. As increasing the oxygen pressure to 500 Torr, the sizes of wires increased. A strong visible emission peak centered at about 500 ~ 600 nm was observed in the room temperature cathodoluminescence spectra of all the products.

Color conversion layer refers to a layer that converts the blue light emitted from the backlight into the red and green light. Heavy metal-free quantum dots and perovskite nanocrystals have attracted great attention as base materials for color conversion layers due to their outstanding optical characteristics. Here, we review recent advances in the development of color conversion layers based on quantum dots. First, we overview the representative optical characteristics of quantum dots and perovskite nanocrystals, and then introduce printing techniques for color converting layers including photolithography, inkjet printing, and nanoimprinting. Finally, we conclude this review with a brief perspective.

천연 광물소재를 양이온 치환하여 환경개선재로 응용되고 있는 $Lumilite^{(R)}$의 원료 중 원광의 광물학적 특징을 분석하고 구성광물의 나노결정의 발달특징을 관찰하였다. 이를 위하여 편광현미경에 의한 조직관찰, XRD, SEM, FTIR, XRF 분석을 실시하였다. 구성 광물상은 클리높틸로라이트, 일라이트, 석영, 알바이트 사장석이며, 본 시료는 미립질의 치밀한 조직을 가지는 것이 특징이다. 나노결정의 크기는 $70{\sim}100\;nm$ 범위가 흔하면, 비교적 등립질 내지 반등립질로 구성된다. 나노결정들의 단면은 아원형 내지 완만한 각형이며, 나노결정의 표면에는 수 nm 크기의 원형돌기가 거의 균질하게 분포한다. 전시료의 화학조성은 $SiO_2$ $74.22{\sim}75.65\;wt.%$, $Al_2O_3$ $13.25{\sim}13.72\;wt.$, CaO $4.23{\sim}5.15\;wt.%$이며, 그 외 주성분과 수분은 미량으로 함유된다. 원료물질은 결정학적으로 $500^{\circ}C$까지는 안정한 상을 유지하나, $700^{\circ}C$에서는 구조가 거의 파괴된다. $Lumilite^{(R)}$가 흡착능력이 뛰어나고 높은 양이온치환능력을 가지는 것은 나노결정들이 잘 발달하고, 이들 사이에는 다양한 미세공극이 잘 발달하기 때문인 것으로 보인다.

The chromatic dispersion of the germano-silicate optical fiber incorporated with Si nanocrystals was determined with the aid of simulation and demonstrated using experiments, which showed dependence of the launched power and the pump wavelength due to optical nonlinearity of the fiber.

We have fabricated semiconductor nanocrystals using phase separation on flexible substrates for future application in QD-LEDs. The phase separation between the CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals and TPD organic underlayer can occur during the solvent drying, and the CdSe may rise towards the surface of the coated films, which is arranged into close packed array called self-assembly process. In this work, the polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films of $200{\mu}m$ thickness was used as a flexible substrate, which was coated with indium tin oxide(ITO) as a transparent electrode of <$15{\Omega}/cm^2$. A number of solvents such as chloroform, toluene, and hexane was used and their coating properties were investigated using the spin coating process. The dispersion of both QD and TPD was rather poor in toluene and hexane and resulted in rougher surface and some aggregates. Meanwhile, the surface roughness of templates can be a very critical issue in the fabrication of QD-LED devices. Some experiments was performed to reduce the ~4nm surface roughness of the PEN films and It can be decreased to the minimum of ~0.7nm. Also discussed are the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals used in this phase separation and possible large area and continuous coating process for future application.

In the present work, we propose a molecule (C₁₄H₁₄) that can be used as a building block of hexagonal diamond-type crystals and nanocrystals, including wurtzite structures. This molecule and its combined blocks are similar to diamondoid molecules that are used as building blocks of cubic diamond crystals and nanocrystals. The hexagonal part of this molecule is included in the C₁₂ central part of this molecule. This part can be repeated to increase the ratio of hexagonal to cubic diamond and other structures. The calculated energy gap of these molecules (called hereafter wurtzoids) shows the expected trend of gaps that are less than that of cubic diamondoid structures. The calculated binding energy per atom shows that wurtzoids are tighter structures than diamondoids. Distribution of angles and bonds manifest the main differences between hexagonal and cubic diamond-type structures. Charge transfer, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet-visible spectra are investigated to identify the main spectroscopic differences between hexagonal and cubic structures at the molecular and nanoscale. Natural bond orbital population analysis shows that the bonding of the present wurtzoids and diamondoids differs from ideal sp³ bonding. The bonding for carbon valence orbitals is in the range (2s^0.982p^3.213p^0.02)-(2s^0.942p^3.313p^0.02) for wurtzoid and (2s^0.932p^3.293p^0.01)-(2s^0.992p^3.443p^0.01) for diamantane.

셀룰로오스 아세테이트(cellulose acetate, CA)는 높은 투명도와 열 저항성을 갖고 있어 복합소재 개발에 많이 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CA 복합재의 기계적 강도 개선을 위해 셀룰로오스 나노크리스탈 (cellulose nanocrystals, CNCs)을 강화제로 첨가하였다. CA 수지 내부에 CNCs의 고른 분산을 위해 선 분산(predispersion)법 적용 후, 압출 및 사출하는 제조 방식으로 CA 복합재를 제조하였다. 기계적 특성 분석 결과, CNCs를 3 wt% 첨가하였을 때 강화효과(reinforcing effect)로 인해 최대 인장강도와 굴곡강도 값을 보임을 확인하였다. 열중량 분석법을 이용한 열분해 거동 분석을 통해 황산 처리된 CNCs의 첨가는 CA 복합소재의 열안정성을 약간 감소시키는 결과를 얻었다.
