Objective: To investigate airway volumes using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) by skeletal patterns, sex, and cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) stages in Korean adolescents. Methods: The sample consisted of pretreatment CBCT and cephalograms of 95 adolescents (aged 12-19) obtained out of 1,611 patients examined for orthodontic treatment from 2018 to 2020 in Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital. The samples were classified into two sex groups; three skeletal pattern groups, four chronological age groups and four CVM stages. Nasopharyngeal volumes (NPV), oropharyngeal volumes (OPV), total pharyngeal airway volume (TAV) and minimum cross-sectional area (MCA) measurements were taken from the CBCT. Multiple linear regression analyses to find out which one of the independent variables are good predictors for airway variables. Significant factors were analyzed by two-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) then multiple comparisons were analyzed using a t-test, and Fisher least significant difference. Results: Age, sex, CVM, and Sella-Nasion-B point have significant influence on airway variable. Males and females showed similar patterns of change in chronological age groups 1-3; however, males had larger NPV, OPV, and MCA at CVM in group 4. According to CVM stages, males had larger OPV, TAV, and MCA at CVM stage 6 (p-value: 0.019, 0.021, 0.015, respectively) and no sex differences at CVM stages 3, 4, and 5. Conclusions: Skeletal patterns have an effect on airway volume. Sex differences were found in CVM 6.

A new A-D-A type (Acceptor-Donor-Acceptor) conjugated based on pyridine-borane complex (Donor), non-boron fluorine (Donor) and 2,5-bis(alkyl)-3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (DPP) (Acceptor) were designed and synthesized via Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The synthesized boron based complex exhibited high electron affinity, which indicates deep HOMO energy levels and good visible absorption led to their use as donors in BHJ (bulk heterojunction) solar cells. Inverted devices were fabricated, reaching open-circuit voltage as high as 0.91eV. To probe structure-property relationship and search for design principle, we have synthesized pyridine-boron based electron donating small molecules. In this study, we report a new synthetic approach, molecular structure, charge carrier mobility and morphology of blended film and their correlation with the photovoltaic J-V characteristics in details.

In this work, highly conductive organic solvent-based polyaniline(PANI) was used as an anode in organic photovoltaic cells (OPV) based on poly - (3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6] - phenyl - C60 - butyricacid methyl ester (P3HT : PCBM). The transmittance of the used PANI film were 87.67% and 86.57% at 550nm, and its sheet resistance were 454 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ and 298 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$. We fabricated ITO-free OPV cells using PANI as an anode, which exhibited an external power conversion efficiency of 2.28% with a result of Jsc of 6.922mA/cm2, Voc of 0.6093V, and FF of 54.10% under an illumination of air mass(AM) 1.5G (100mW/$cm^2$). We used ink-jet printing to deposit buffer layer and active layer on a glass substrate.

본 연구에서는 DC/RF co-sputtering공법을 통해 제작한 In-Mo-O 투명 Mo doping 농도 및 열처리 온도에 따른 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 분석하고, 최적화된 In-Mo-O 투명전극을 유기태양전지(OPVs)와 유기발광다이오드(OLED)에 적용하여 그 가능성을 평가하였다. Mo doping 농도는 co-sputtering 공정 중 MoO3에 인가되는 radio-frequency (RF) power를 변화시켜 조절되었으며, 투명전극의 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성 향상을 위해 성막 공정 후 급속 열처리 공정을 온도 별로 진행하였다. In-Mo-O 투명 전극은 Mo 도핑 농도에 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었고, 최적화된 Mo doping 파워에서 성막한 In-Mo-O 박막은 급속 열처리 공정 후 면저항 24.57 Ohm/square, 투과도 81.57% (400~1,200 nm wavelength)를 나타내었다. Bulk hetero-junction 기반의 고효율 유기태양전지와 유기발광다이오드 적용하기 위해 본 연구에서 제작된 IMO 투명전극의 구조적 특성, 결정성 및 표면특성은 x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), field effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) 분석을 통해 진행하였다. In-Mo-O 투명 전극상에 제작된 OLEDs와 OPV는 reference ITO 전극에 제작된 OLEDs/OPV와 비교할 때 유사하거나 향상된 특성을 나타내었으며 이는 In-Mo-O 박막이 OLED/OPV용 투명 전극으로 적용이 가능함을 말해준다.

일반적으로 유기전자소자의 제작에 있어서 Indium tin oxide (ITO)는 뛰어난 전기 광학적 특성을 바탕으로 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 투명전극이다. 특히 유기태양전지(Organic Photovoltaic, OPV)나 유기발광디스플레이(Organic Light Emitting Device)는 ITO 위에 PEDOT:PSS 층을 형성하여 HOMO, LUMO를 조절하고 효율을 향상시키는 역할을 수행하고 있다. 특히 ITO 위의 PEDOT:PSS는 사용되는 용제의 종류나 첨가제 등에 따라 특성이 크게 영향을 받는다. 이때 PEDOT:PSS는 일반적으로 강산성을 띄게 됨으로써 유기전자소자의 장시간 안정성을 저하시키는 원인으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 각각 다른 pH level을 가진 PEDOT:PSS의 시간 경과에 따라 투과도와 면저항을 측정하고 각각의 PEDOT을 사용하여 유기태양전지 소자를 제작하였다. 소자제작 30일 경과 후 소자의 효율이 감소하기는 하였으나 그 변화가 일반적으로 사용되는 pH 2의 감소보다 현저히 적었음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 pH 변화가 이를 적용한 투명전극 필름의 전기 광학적 특성인 투과도 면저항 등에는 영항을 거의 미치지 않으면서도 OPV의 효율 변화에는 큰 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 co-sputtering을 통한 $WO_3$와 $In_2O_3$ 타겟을 사용하여 $WO_3$ 파워에 따른 Tungsten(W)-doped $In_2O_3$ (IWO) 투명 전극의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 연구하고 이를 활용한 유기태양전지(Organic Photovoltaics; OPVs)의 특성을 분석하였다. Tungsten의 doping 농도는 $WO_3$에 인가되는 Radio-frequency (RF) power를 5~30 W 까지 변화시켜 조절하였으며, Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) 후 열처리 공정을 통해 IWO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. Hall measurement 및 UV/Vis spectrometry 분석을 통하여 가시광선 영역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율, $48\;cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s^{-1}$의 홀 이동도, 20 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ 이하의 낮은 면저항과 $3.2{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}-cm$의 비저항 값을 나타내었다. 최적화된 IWO 박막을 이용한 OPV 셀 특성은 fill factor(FF): 61.59 %, short circuit current($J_{SC}$): 8.84 $mA/cm^2$, open circuit voltage($V_{OC}$): 0.60 V, efficiency(PCE): 3.27 %로 ITO로 제작된 OPV 샘플과 비교하였을 때 ITO를 대체할 수 있는 고이동도의 새로운 투명 전극 재료로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, partially dry transfer is investigated to solve the problem of fully dry transfer. Partially dry transfer is a method in which multiple layers of graphene are dry-transferred over a wet-transferred graphene layer. At a wavelength of 550 nm, the transmittance of the partially dry-transferred graphene is seen to be about 3% higher for each layer than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene. Furthermore, the sheet resistance of the partially dry-transferred graphene is relatively lower than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene, with the minimum sheet resistance being 179 Ω/sq. In addition, the fully dry-transferred graphene is easily damaged during the solution process, so that the performance of the organic photovoltaics (OPV) does not occur. In contrast, the best efficiency achievable for OPV using the partially dry-transferred graphene is 2.37% for 4 layers.

Novel 2-hexylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene-containing conjugated molecules have been synthesized via a reduction reaction using tin chloride in an acidic medium. They exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents and good self-film and crystal-forming properties. The single-crystalline objects were fabricated by a solvent slow diffusion process and then were employed for fabricating field-effect transistors (FETs) along with thinfilm transistors (TFTs). TFTs made of 5 and 6 exhibited carrier mobility as high as 0.10-0.15 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$. The single-crystal-based FET made of 6 showed 0.70 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ which was relatively higher than that of the 5-based FET (${\mu}=0.23cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$). In addition, we fabricated organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells with new 2-hexylthieno [3,2-b]thiophene-containing conjugated molecules and methanofullerene [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester ($PC_{61}BM$) without thermal annealing. The ternary system for a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPV cell was elaborated using $PC_{61}BM$ and two p-type conjugated molecules such as 5 and 7 for modulating the molecular energy levels. As a result, the OPV cell containing 5, 7, and $PC_{61}BM$ had improved results with an open-circuit voltage of 0.90 V, a short-circuit current density of 2.83 $mA/cm^2$, and a fill factor of 0.31, offering an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.78%, which was larger than those of the devices made of only molecule 5 (${\eta}$~0.67%) or 7 (${\eta}$~0.46%) with $PC_{61}BM$ under identical weight compositions.
