$SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized using the polymerized complex method. Generally, phosphorescent phosphors synthesized by conventional solid state reaction show a micro-sized particle diameter; thus, this process is restricted to applications such as phosphorescent ink and paint. However, it is possible to synthesize homogeneous multi-component powders with fine particle diameter by wet process such as the polymerized complex method. The characteristics of $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ powders prepared by polymerized complex method with one and two step calcination processes were comparatively analyzed. Temperatures of organic material removal and crystallization were observed through TG-DTA analysis. The crystalline phase and crystallite size of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were analyzed by XRD. Microstructures and afterglow characteristics of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were measured by SEM and spectrofluorometry, respectively.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was first discovered in 1974 by an unexpected Raman signal increase from Pyridine adsorbed on rough Ag electrode surfaces by the M. Fleishmann group. M. Moskovits group suggested that this phenomenon could be caused by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which is a collective oscillation of free electrons at the surface of metal nanostructures by an external light source. After about 40 years, the SERS study has attracted great attention as a biomolecule analysis technology, and more than 2500 new papers and 500 review papers related to SERS topic have been published each year in recently. The advantages of biomaterials analysis using SERS are as follows; ① Molecular level analysis is possible based on unique fingerprint information of biomolecule, ② There is no photo-bleaching effect of the Raman reporters, allowing long-term monitoring of biomaterials compared to fluorescence microscopy, ③ SERS peak bandwidth is approximately 10 to 100 times narrower than fluorescence emission from organic phosphor or quantum dot, resulting in higher analysis accuracy, ④ Single excitation wavelength allows analysis of various biomaterials, ⑤ By utilizing near-infrared (NIR) SERS-activated nanostructures and NIR excitation lasers, auto-fluorescence noise in the visible wavelength range can be avoided from in vivo experiment and light damage in living cells can be minimized compared to visible lasers, ⑥ The weak Raman signal of the water molecule makes it easy to analyze biomaterials in aqueous solutions. For this reason, SERS is attracting attention as a next-generation non-invasive medical diagnostic device as well as substance analysis. In this review, the principles of SERS and various biomaterial analysis principles using SERS analysis will be introduced through recent research papers.

A high efficient organic red light emitting device with structure of DNTPD/TAPC/$Bebq_2$ :[$(pq)_2Ir(acac)$, SFC-411]/SFC-137 was fabricated on the plastic substrate, which can be applied in the fields of flexible display and illumination. In the device structure, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolylamino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine[DNTPD] as a hole injection layer and 1,1-bis-(di-4-tolylaminophenyl) cyclohexane [TAPC] as a hole transport were used. Bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato) beryllium complex [$Bebq_2$] was used as a light emitting host material. The host material, $Bebq_2$ was doubly doped with volume ratio of 7% iridium(III)bis-(2-phenylquinoline)acetylacetonate[$(pq)_2$Ir(acac)] and 3% SFC-411[red phosphor dye coded by the proprietary company]. And then, SFC-137 was used as an electron transport layer. The luminous intensity and current efficiency of the fabricated device were $22,780\;cd/m^2$ at 9V and 17.3 cd/A under $10,000\;cd/m^2$, respectively. The maximum current efficiency of the device was 22.4cd/A under $580\;cd/m^2$.
