Precise molecular configuration elucidation of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) through advanced spectroscopic techniques is pivotal for enhancing P3HT-based photovoltaic device efficiencies since its high charge-carrier mobility is directly correlated to its well-ordered structure. In this study, we examine Raman depolarization ratios of annealed and non-annealed P3HT films to elucidate their intermolecular π-π configurations. Our findings suggest that the backbone of the annealed film possesses stronger π-π conjugation overlaps than that of the non-annealed film owing to the greater depolarization ratio of the annealed film. In addition, the depolarization ratios are also supported by theoretical calculations, where parallel-stacked thiophene structures display a higher depolarization ratio compared with that of twisted-stacked structures, as calculated by the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory. This study highlights the utility of polarized Raman spectroscopy as a versatile tool for assessing the degree of molecular order in highly conjugated polymer films.

편광 푸리에 변환 적외선 분광법을 이용하여 액정 디스플레이의 배향막으로 널리 사용되는 폴리이미드 필름의 편광 자외선 조사에 따른 액정의 배향성과 열적 안정성을 연구하였다. 편광자외선이 조사된 폴리이미드의 경우, 조사된 편광자외선의 극성 방향에 평행한 폴리이미드 분자들의 우선적인 광분해 반응으로 인하여 편광자외선 조사 후 남아 있는 폴리이미드 분자들은 조사된 편광자외선 극성 방향과 수직 배향을 나타내었다. 하지만 러빙 처리된 폴리이미드 필름은 러빙 방향과 평행하게 폴리이미드 분자들의 재배향이 유도됨을 확인하였다. 또한 편광자외선이 조사된 폴리이미드 배향막이 편광자외선 조사를 통한 폴리이미드 분자들의 단편화 반응 때문에 러빙 처리된 폴리이미드 배향막 보다는 열적 안정성이 저하됨을 확인하였다.

편광 푸리에 변환 적외선 분광법과 자외선 분광법을 이용하여 액정 display (LCD)의 배향막으로 널리 사용되는 폴리이미드 (PI) 필름의 편광 자외선 (PUV) 조사에 따른 액정의 배향 메카니즘을 연구하였다. UV 측정 결과, PI 필름은 360 nm 이하 파장의 자외선을 주로 흡수하여 광화학 반응이 유도됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, PUV가 조사된 PI의 경우, PI 분자들의 분해로 인해 FT-IR 흡수 피크들의 강도가 조사시간에 따라 감소하였고, $3244 cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 완만한 곡선 형태의 새로운 피크가 형성되었다. 또한 조사된 PUV의 극성 방향에 평행한 PI 분자들의 우선적인 광분해 반응으로 인하여 PUV 조사 후 남아 있는 PI 분자들은 조사된 PUV 극성 방향과 수직 배향을 나타내었다. 하지만 러빙 처리된 PI 필름은 러빙 방향과 평행하게 PI 분자들의 재배향이 유도됨을 확인하였다. 또한 러빙 처리 및 PUV가 조사된 PI 배향막을 차용하여 제조된 액정 셀에서는 액정이 러빙 방향에 대해서는 평행하게, 조사된 PUV의 극성방향과는 수직으로 배향함을 확인하였다.

Composite films were prepared by casting the solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and single wall nanotube (SWNT) in DMF subsequent to sonication. The SWNTs in the films are well dispersed as ropes with 20-30 nm thickness. Moreover, AFM surface image of the composite film displays an interwoven fibrous structure of nanotubes which may give rise to conductive passways and lead to high conductivity. The polarized Raman spectroscopy is an ideal characterization technique for identification and the orientation study of SWNT. The well-defined G-peak intensity at 1580 $cm^{-1}$shows a dependency on the draw ratio under cross-Nicol. The degree of nanotube orientation in the drawn film was measurable from the sine curve obtained by rotating the drawn film on the plane of cross-Nicol of polarized Raman microscope. The threshold loading of SWNT for electrical conductivity in PAN is found to be lower than 1 wt% in the composite film. The electrical conductivity of the SWNT/PAN composite film decreased with increasing of draw ratio due to the collapse of the interwoven fibrous network of the nanotubes with uniaxial orientation.

Physicochemical properties for the inclusion complex of chenodeoxycholic acid(CDCA) and it's $7{\beta}-hydroxy$ epimer ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA) with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin({\beta}-CyD)$ were studied. The formation of the complex in the solid state were confimed by polarized microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). Proton nuclear magnetic resonance$(^1H-NMR)$spectroscopy showed that CDCA and UDCA form an inclusion complex with ${\beta}-CyD$ in aqueous solution. The 1 : 1 stoichiometry of the complex was dextermined by the continuous variation method. From DSC and $^1H-NMR$ studies, there were not any differences between CDCA and UDCA. Complex of CDCA and UDCA showed increase in solubility and dissolution compared with CDCA and UDCA alone, respectively. Solubility pattern of UDCA complex was pH independent but, CDCA complex was like that of CDCA. Dissolution rate increased markedly in case of UDCA complex compared with CDCA complex, especially in acidic pH value.

We attempted the first measurement of the spectral width of the nickel-like molybdenum x-ray laser (${\lambda}\;=\;18.895\;nm$) by use of a high-resolution spectrometer in order to determine the strength of the magnetic field required for the generation of a circularly polarized x-ray laser. The spectral width was measured to be ${\Delta}{\lambda}\;=\;18\;m{\AA}$ under the substantial lasing condition. The magnetic field required for the generation of a circularly polarized x-ray laser was 40 T. The splitting of the x-ray laser line was clearly obtained under 15 T external magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field estimated from the splitting of the x-ray laser line was large compared with the external magnetic field. It implies that there might be an alternative mechanism for enhancement of the magnetic field in the gain medium plasma.

A systematic way of determining the equilibrium orientation of carbon monoxide (CO) in heme proteins using time-resolved polarized mid-IR spectroscopy is presented. The polarization anisotropy at pump-probe delay time of zero in the limit of zero photolysis and the angular distrbution function of CO are required to obtain the equilibrium orientation of CO. An approach is developed for determining the polarization anisotropy in the zero-photolysis limit from the anisotropy measured under finite photolysis conditions in an optically thick sample where the fraction of molecules photolyzed decreased as the pump pulse passes through and is absorbed by the sample. This approach is verified by measuring the polarization anisotropy of CO of carbonmonoxy myoglobin at various levels of photolysis. This method can be readily applied to other photoselection experiments determining precise angle between transition dipoles.

Photo-crosslinkable polyimide(PI) which contains CF3 moiety was synthesized. Polarized UV light transformed ketone group of PI to hydroxyl group, which was confirmed by IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. We investigated the dichroic UV-absorption before and after photo-reaction with linearly polarized light. In particular we have attempted to clarify the relationship between the anisotropy of surface region and surface azimuthal anchoring energy and knew that the anchoring energy of photo-alignment PI is comparable with that of mechanical rubbing.

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the splitting of surface plasmon (SP) resonance peaks under TE- and TM-polarized illumination. The SP structure at infrared wavelength is fabricated with a 2-dimensional square periodic array of circular holes penetrating through Au (gold) film. In brief, the processing steps to fabricate the SP structure are as follows. (i) A standard optical lithography was performed to produce to a periodic array of photoresist (PR) circular cylinders. (ii) After the PR pattern, e-beam evaporation was used to deposit a 50-nm thick layer of Au. (iii) A lift-off processing with acetone to remove the PR layer, leading to final structure (pitch, $p=2.2{\mu}m$; aperture size, $d=1.1{\mu}m$) as shown in Fig. 1(a). The transmission is measured using a Nicolet Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) at the incident angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $36^{\circ}$ with a step of $4^{\circ}$ both in TE and TM polarization. Measured first and second order SP resonances at interface between Au and GaAs exhibit the splitting into two branches under TM-polarized light as shown in Fig. 1(b). However, as the incidence angle under TE polarization is increased, the $1^{st}$ order SP resonance peak blue-shifts slightly while the splitting of $2^{nd}$ order SP resonance peak tends to be larger (not shown here). For the purpose of understanding our experimental results qualitatively, SP resonance peak wavelengths can be calculated from momentum matching condition (black circle depicted in Fig. 2(b)), $k_{sp}=k_{\parallel}{\pm}iG_x{\pm}jG_y$, where $k_{sp}$ is the SP wavevector, $k_{\parallel}$ is the in-plane component of incident light wavevector, i and j are SP coupling order, and G is the grating momentum wavevector. Moreover, for better understanding we performed 3D full field electromagnetic simulations of SP structure using a finite integration technique (CST Microwave Studio). Fig. 1(b) shows an excellent agreement between the experimental, calculated and CST-simulated splitting of SP resonance peaks with various incidence angles under TM-polarized illumination (TE results are not shown here). The simulated z-component electric field (Ez) distribution at incident angle, $4^{\circ}$ and $16^{\circ}$ under TM polarization and at the corresponding SP resonance wavelength is shown in Fig. 1(c). The analysis and comparison of theoretical results with experiment indicates a good agreement of the splitting behavior of the surface plasmon resonance modes at oblique incidence both in TE and TM polarization.
