오늘날 유기고분자기반 태양전지는 다른 태양전지와 비교될 정도로 낮은 광변환효율로 인해 효율향 상을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그중 패터닝을 통한 광포집률과 charge carrier 수집효율이 증가되었다는 많은 보고들이 있었다. 따라서 우리는 200~1,400 nm polystyrene bead를 합성하여 air-liquid interfacial 방법을 이용해 2차원 육방조밀구조를 갖는 template를 형성하고 Nanosphere lithography (NSL)를 이용하여 대면적으로 균일한 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)를 패턴화하였다. 균일한 패턴형성을 측정하기위해 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), image를 얻었으며, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)를 통해 형성된 패턴의 낙차 높이를 얻었고, Near IR-UV-Vis을 통해 bead size 변화에따라 얻어진 PEDOT:PSS 패턴의 반사율을 측 정하였다.

The Mn4+-activated Li2ZnSn2O6 (LZSO:Mn4+) red phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction at temperatures of 1100-1400 ℃ in air. The synthesized LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors were confirmed to have a single hexagonal LZSO phase without the presence of any secondary phase formed by the Mn4+ addition. With near UV and blue excitation, the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors exhibited a double band deep-red emission peaked at ~658 nm and ~673 nm due to the 2E → 4A2 transition of Mn4+ ion. PL emission intensity showed a strong dependence on the Mn4+ doping concentration and the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor produced the strongest PL emission intensity. Photoluminescence emission intensity was also found to be dependent on the calcination temperature and the optimal calcination temperature for the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors was determined to be 1200 ℃. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis revealed that the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor particles have an irregularly round shape and an average particle size of ~1.46 ㎛.

The research presented in this paper enables real-time 3D modeling to help make construction processes ultimately faster, more predictable and safer. Initial research efforts used an emerging sensor technology and proved its usefulness in the acquisition of range information for the detection and efficient representation of static and moving objects. Based on the time-of-flight principle, the sensor acquires range and intensity information of each image pixel within the entire sensor's field-of-view in real-time with frequencies of up to 30 Hz. However, real-time working range data processing algorithms need to be developed to rapidly process range information into meaningful 3D computer models. This research ultimately focuses on the application of safer heavy equipment operation. The paper compares (a) a previous research effort in convex hull modeling using sparse range point clouds from a single laser beam range finder, to (b) high-frame rate update Flash LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging) scanning for complete scene modeling. The presented research will demonstrate if the FlashLADAR technology can play an important role in real-time modeling of infrastructure assets in the near future.

Perovskite manganites such as $RE_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ (RE = rare earth, A = Ca, Sr, Ba) have been the subject of intense research in the last few years, ever since the discovery that these systems demonstrate colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The CMR is usually explained with the double-exchange (DE) mechanism, and CMR materials have potential applications for magnetic switching, recording devices, and more. However, the intrinsic CMR effect is usually found under the conditions of a magnetic field of several Teslas and a narrow temperature range near the Curie temperature ($T_c$). This magnetic field and temperature range make practical applications impossible. Recently, another type of MR, called the low-field magnetoresistance(LFMR), has also been a research focus. This MR is typically found in polycrystalline half-metallic ferromagnets, and is associated with the spin-dependent charge transport across grain boundaries. Composites with compositions $La_{0.7}(Ca_{1-x}Sr_x)_{0.3}MnO_3)]_{0.99}/(BaTiO_3)_{0.01}$ $[(LCSMO)_{0.99}/(BTO)_{0.01}]$were prepared with different Sr doping levels x by a standard ceramic technique, and their electrical transport and magnetoresistance (MR) properties were investigated. The structure and morphology of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). BTO peaks could not be found in the XRD pattern because the amount of BTO in the composites was too small. As the content of x decreased, the crystal structure changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral. This change can be explained by the fact that the crystal structure of pure LCMO is orthorhombic and the crystal structure of pure LSMO is rhombohedral. The SEM results indicate that LCSMO and BTO coexist in the composites and BTO mostly segregates at the grain boundaries of LCSMO, which are in accordance with the results of the magnetic measurements. The resistivity of all the composites was measured in the range of 90-400K at 0T, 0.5T magnetic field. The result indicates that the MR of the composites increases systematically as the Ca concentration increases, although the transition temperature $T_c$ shifts to a lower range.

COMS accommodates multiple payloads; Meteorological Image(MI), Ocean Color Imager(GOCI) and Ka-band communication payloads. In order to improve the quality of MI visible channel, the moon image has been taken into account as backup reference in addition to Albedo monitoring. However, obtaining the moon image by adding special mission schedule is not recommended after IOT, because we may miss chances to obtain meteorological images during the time slots for special imaging. As an alternative solution, an approach extracting moon image from MI FD(Full Disk) image has been proposed when the moon is positioned near to the earth. However, prediction of acquisition time of moon image is somewhat difficult as the moon moves while the MI is scanning type sensor. And the moon can not be seen when it is behind the earth or outside of FD field of view. This paper discusses how effectively the moon can be detected by the MI FD imaging. For that purpose, this paper describes an approach taken to predict the time when the moon image is achievable and then introduces the results obtained from computer simulation.

ZnO seed layers were deposited on a quartz substrate using the sol-gel method, and B-doped ZnO (BZO) nanorods with different B concentrations ranging from 0 to 2.5 at.% were grown on the ZnO seed layers by the hydrothermal method. The structural, optical, electrical propertiesof the ZnO and BZO nanorods were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and hall effect. The ZnO and BZO nanorods grew well aligned on the surface of the quartz substrates. From the XRD data, it can be seen that the B doping is responsible for the distortion of the ZnO lattice. The PL spectra show near-band-edge emission and deep-level emission, and they also show that B doping significantly affects the PL properties of ZnO nanorods. The optical band gaps are changed by B doping, and thus the Urbach energy value changed with the optical band gap of the ZnO nanorods. From the hall measurements, it can be observed that the values of electrical resistivity, carrier concentration, and mobility are changed by B doping.

Single-phased SnS thin films have been prepared by RF magnetron sputtering at various deposition pressures. The effect of deposition pressure on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline SnS thin films was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectrophotometer. The XRD analysis revealed the orthorhombic structure of the SnS thin films oriented along the (111) plane direction. As the deposition pressure was increased from 5 mTorr to 15 mTorr, the intensity of the peak on the (111) plane increased, and the intensity decreased under the condition of 20 mTorr. The binding energy difference at the Sn 3d_5/2 and S 2p_3/2 core levels was about 324.5 eV, indicating that the SnS thin film was prepared as a pure Sn-S phase. The optical properties of the SnS thin films indicate the presence of direct allowed transitions with corresponding energy band gap in the rang 1.47-1.57 eV.

SnS thin films with different substrate temperatures ($150 {\sim}300^{\circ}C$) as process parameters were grown on soda-lime glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of substrate temperature on the structural and optical properties of SnS thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer (UV-Vis-NIR). All of the SnS thin films prepared at various substrate temperatures were polycrystalline orthorhombic structures with (111) planes preferentially oriented. The diffraction intensity of the (111) plane and the crystallite size were improved with increasing substrate temperature. The three major peaks (189, 222, $289cm^{-1}$) identified in Raman were exactly the same as the Raman spectra of monocrystalline SnS. From the XRD and Raman results, it was confirmed that all of the SnS thin films were formed into a single SnS phase without impurity phases such as $SnS_2$ and $Sn_2S_3$. In the optical transmittance spectrum, the critical wavelength of the absorption edge shifted to the long wavelength region as the substrate temperature increased. The optical bandgap was 1.67 eV at the substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$, 1.57 eV at $200^{\circ}C$, 1.50 eV at $250^{\circ}C$, and 1.44 eV at $300^{\circ}C$.

최근 새로운 형태의 디스플레이에 관한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이들 중 특히 투명 산화물 반도체는 기존의 실리콘 기반의 반도체에 비해 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과도를 보이며, 또한 기존의 비정질 실리콘 소자에 비해서 10 cm2/Vs이상의 높은 전하 이동도 값을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 투명 산화물 반도체 소재 중 InGaZnO4를 사용하여 펄스 레이저 방법으로 Al2O3 (0001)기판 위에 비정질 상태인 a-InGaZnO4 박막을 성장 시켰다. 박막의 증착 온도를 변화(RT, $50^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$, $550^{\circ}C$)시켜 성장된 박막의 구조적, 화학적, 전기적 그리고 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 증착 온도가 $450{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 박막의 상태가 비정질(amorphous)에서 polycrystalline으로 성장되는 것을 X-Ray Diffraction과 Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope를 이용하여 확인하였고 이는 InGaZnO4 박막의 결정화 온도가 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상임을 알 수 있었다. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy를 통해서 target 물질과 성장된 박막의 조성 및 화학적 상태를 고찰한 결과, 박막의 결정성 변화가 화학적 상태 변화와는 무관하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 온도 의존 비저항 측정을 통해 박막이 반도체 성향을 가지는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 Hall 측정 결과 증착 온도가 올라 갈수록 전하 밀도는 증가 하지만, 전하 이동도는 다결정 박막($550^{\circ}C$)에서 급격히 감소하고, 이로 인해 비저항 값이 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 다결정 박막 내 존재하는 grain boundary들이 이동도 값에 영향을 준다는 것으로 추측할 수 있다. Ultra violet-Visible-Near Infrared 측정을 통해 가시광 영역에서 80%이상의 투과율을 나타내며 증착 온도가 증가함에 따라 에너지 밴드갭(Eg)이 커지는 것을 확인 할 수 있는데 이는 Hall 측정 결과에서 확인한 전하 밀도의 증가로 인해 에너지 밴드갭이 커지는 Burstein-Moss 효과로 설명할 수 있다.

The structural and optical properties of the ZnO, Al-doped ZnO, Ga-doped ZnO, and In-doped ZnO nanorods were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. All the nanorods grew with good alignment on the ZnO seed layers and the ZnO nanorod dimensions could be controlled by the addition of the various dopants. For instance, the diameter of the nanorods decreased with increasing atomic number of the dopants. The ratio between the near-band-edge emission (NBE) and the deep-level emission (DLE) intensities ($I_{NBE}/I_{DLE}$) obtained by PL gradually decreased because the DLE intensity from the nanorods gradually increased with increase in the atomic number of the dopants. We found that the dopants affected the structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanorods including their dimensions, lattice constants, residual stresses, bond lengths, PL properties, transmittance values, optical band gaps, and Urbach energies.
