The electronic structures of α- and β-gold selenides are studied. α- and β-AuSe are known as mixed valence compounds having linear (AuSe2, Au+) and square-planar (AuSe4, Au3+) units in their structure simultaneously. Our EHTB calculations, however, show that the oxidation states of Au in α- and β-AuSe are both close to +1. This is because the frontier orbitals are largely made up of Se p-orbitals and Au d-orbitals that lie well below the Fermi level. Our results are consistent with the recent X-ray absorption spectroscopy study on AuSe which show that all Au in the compound exhibit a monovalent state independent of their chemical environments.

본 연구에서는 납이나 크롬이 함유되지 않은 친환경적인 물질의 새로운 주황 무기 안료를 개발하고자 하였다. 고상반응법을 이용하여 LPG와 Air를 이용한 환원분위기에서 $TiO_2-SnO-ZnO$계 주황색 무기 안료를 합성하였다. 합성 된 안료들의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 표색계 값인 $L^*a^*b^*$ 값을 측정 후, XRD를 이용하여 결정 상을 분석하였고, SEM을 이용하여 미세구조 관찰하였으며, XPS를 이용하여 원소들의 산화가 상태를 분석하였다. 고상 반응법으로 합성 후 열처리한 $TiO_2-SnO-ZnO$ 안료는 yellow에서 orange-red 사이의 색을 가진다. $TiO_2-SnO-ZnO$ 안료의 결정상 분석 결과, 5가지의 결정상이 혼재하는 것을 볼 수 있는데, $SnO_2$가 cubic과 tetragonal 구조 중 어떤 결정 구조를 가지는지가 발색의 가장 중요한 요인으로 작용하는 것을 확인하였다. XPS를 이용하여 원소들의 산화가 상태를 분석한 결과, $Sn^{4+}$의 비율이 높을수록 안료가 rYR에 가까운 색을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 포름알데히드를 상온산화시켜 제거하는 $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매의 상용화 인자들이 조사되었다. 활성 귀금속 함량 최적화를 위해 촉매의 백금(Pt) 담지량을 변화시켜 제조 후 성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 1wt% 함량이 가장 이상적인 함량임을 확인하였다. 또한 활성금속인 Pt를 환원하여 제조한 환원 촉매가 상온에서 우수한 포름알데히드 산화 능력을 나타내었다. 이를 통해 활성금속의 산화가에 따라 성능이 변화될 수 있으며, 백금의 경우 metallic Pt($Pt^0$)로 존재할수록 포름알데히드 상온산화 성능이 증진될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 촉매의 운전인자를 도출하기 위한 공간속도 영향 평가 결과 공간속도가 낮을수록 촉매량 증가에 의해 포름알데히드 전환율이 증진되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 공기 내 반드시 존재하는 물질인 수분의 공기 내 공존 시 영향 평가를 실시하였으며, 그 결과 수분이 공존할 때 포름알데히드 산화반응이 수분이 존재하지 않은 조건에서의 활성보다 증진되었다. 상기 결과들을 통해 어떤 추가 에너지원 없이도 포름알데히드를 제거 할 수 있는 상온산화 촉매 상용화를 위한 핵심인자들을 확인하였다.

서로 다른 몰비의 Cu-Mn 혼합산화물을 공침법으로 제조하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 CO 산화반응을 수행하였다. 제조된 촉매는 CO 산화반응에서 반응 활성과 연관시키기 위하여 XRD, $N_2$ 흡착 및 탈착, XPS, $H_2-TPR$ 등의 특성분석을 수행하였다. 제조된 촉매의 질소흡착 등온곡선은 4형태로 7-20 nm크기의 세공이 존재하며, Mn의 함량이 증가함에 따라 BET 표면적은 17에서 $205m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 으로 증가하였다. XPS 분석으로 Cu-Mn 혼합산화물 상의 Cu는 주성분이 2+의 산화상태임을 확인하였고, Mn은 +3과 +4의 산화 상태를 나타냈다. Cu-Mn 촉매의 함량 및 비율에 따른 최적 활성을 실험 조사한 결과, $30^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 Cu/(Cu+Mn)의 몰비가 0.5일 때 가장 좋은 활성을 나타냈으며, 이를 기준으로 화산형 형태의 반응 곡선을 나타냈다. 수분 존재하의 CO 산화반응은 활성점에 수분과 CO의 경쟁흡착으로 촉매의 활성을 감소시켰으며 최종적으로는 활성금속 성분과 하이드록실 그룹을 형성하였기 때문이다.

New inorganic red pigments based on Cr-doped $Y_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ were synthesized by solid state method and characterization of their pigments were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The single perovskite phase revealed at $1450^{\circ}C{\sim}1550^{\circ}C$ for 6 h due to using mineralizers. The color of pigment powders resulted out various red-shades depending on the compositions of used materials and temperatures. Glazed tiles painted with pigment powders showed red color in oxidation and reduction firing. The best red colour was obtained when the $Cr_2O_3$ was used 0.04 mole at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 6 h.

In this study, the redox state of iron in sodium silicate glasses was varied by changing the melting conditions, such as the melting temperature and particle size of iron oxide. The oxidation states of the iron ion were determined by wet chemical analysis and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. Iron commonly exists as an equilibrium mixture of ferrous ions, $Fe^{2+}$, and ferric ions $Fe^{3+}$. In this study, sodium silicate glasses containing nanoparticles of iron oxide (0.5% mol) were prepared at various temperatures. Increase of temperature led to the transformation of ferric ions to ferrous ions, and the intensity of the ferrous peak in 1050 nm increased. Nanoparticle iron oxide caused fewer ferrous ions to be formed and the $\frac{Fe^{2+}}{Fe^{3+}}$ equilibrium ratio compared to that with micro-oxide iron powder was lower.

Polypropylene nonwoven fabrics were exposed to He/$O_2$ atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma. Surface chemical analysis and contact angle measurement revealed the surface oxidation by formation of new functional groups after plasma treatment. Weight loss (%) measurement and scanning electron microscopy analysis showed a significant plasma etching effect. It was investigated in low-stress mechanical properties of the fabrics using Kawabata Evaluation System (KES-FB). The surface morphology change by plasma treatment increased surface friction due to an enhancement of fiber-to-fiber friction, resulting in change of other low-stress mechanical properties of fabric.

One of the most important characteristics of Mg alloys is the high ratio of strength to weight. This is why there is a high demand for applications with these alloys in the transportation industries to reduce the fuel consumption and to save energy. In addition, magnesium (and its alloys) is of considerable interest as a structural material, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries thanks to its low density. However, its major drawback is its high sensitivity to corrosion. Therefore, its use requires the application of a surface treatment. This study used a die-casted AZ91D Mg alloyand all the samples were annealed (in $120^{\circ}C$). The surface microstructure and phase distribution in thin-walled AZ91D magnesium components cast on a hot-chamber die-casting machine were investigated by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The reflectance differences in the bulk state comparison with the annealing state are caused by hydrogenation presence of the Mg layer under an oxidation surface layer.

DNA methylation is one of the most extensively studied epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, known to play crucial roles in various organisms. It has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression and chromatin changes, ranging from global alterations during cell state transitions to locus-specific modifications. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is produced by a major oxidation, from 5-methylcytosine (5mC), catalyzed by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, and is gradually being recognized for its significant role in genome regulation. With the development of state-of-the-art experimental techniques, it has become possible to detect and distinguish 5mC and 5hmC at base resolution. Various techniques have evolved, encompassing chemical and enzymatic approaches, as well as third-generation sequencing techniques. These advancements have paved the way for a thorough exploration of the role of 5hmC across a diverse array of cell types, from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to various differentiated cells. This review aims to comprehensively report on recent techniques and discuss the emerging roles of 5hmC.

The photophysical properties and the singlet oxygen generation efficiencies of meso-tetraphenyl-trithiasapphyrin $(S_3TPS)$ and meso-tetmkis(p-methoxy phenyl)-trithiasapphy rin ((p-MeO)-$S_3TPS$) have been investigated, utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods to elucidate the possibility of their use as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The observed photophysical properties were compared with those of other porphyrin-like photosensitizers in geometrical and electronic structural aspects, such as extended ${\pi}$ conjugation, structural distortion, and internal heavy atoms. The steady-state electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra were both red-shifted due to the extended ${\pi}$-conjugation. The fluorescence quantum yields were measured as very small. Even though intersystem crossing rates were expected to increase due to the increment of spin orbital coupling, the triplet quantum yields were measured as less than 0.15. Such characteristics can be ascribed to the more enhanced internal conversion rates compared with the intersystem crossing rates. Furthermore, the triplet state lifetimes were shortened to -1.0 ${\mu}s$ as expected. Therefore, the singlet oxygen quantum yields were estimated to be near zero due to the fast triplet state decay rates and the inefficient energy transfer to the oxygen molecule as well as the low triplet quantum yields. The low efficiencies of energy transfer to the oxygen molecule can be attributed to the lower oxidation potential and/or the energetically low lying triplet state. Such photophysical factors should be carefully evaluated as potential photosensitizers that have extended ${\pi}$-conjugation and heavy core atoms synthesized for red-shifted absorption and high triplet state quantum yields.
