Photoresponsive side chain polymers containing aminonitro azobenzene were synthesized for studying optically induced birefringence. Four different copolymers were prepared using methacrylate, a-methylstyrene, and itaconate monomer. Two copolymers are totally amorphous and the other two are liquid crystalline in nature. Trans-to-cis photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of UV light with UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Reorientation of polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532 nm. The dynamic parameters of optically induced birefringence let us compare the effect of polymeric structure on the rate of growth and decay of the birefringence. Besides the effect of glass transition temperature on the dynamics of photoinduced birefringence, we focused our interests on the geometrical hindrance of polar azobenzene molecules and cooperative motion of environmental mesogenic molecules in the vicinity of polar azobenzene moiety.

We synthesized the simple triethoxysilanes (SGDR1) bearing a disperse red 1 for thin film fabrication. The thin films were prepared using the solution of SGDR1 after hydrolysis and condensation. The films were annealed at two different temperatures such as $150^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$. Trans-to-cis photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of 532 nm light with UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The kinetic study of photoisomerization was performed in the film. Reorientation of the polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532 nm. The effect of aggregation of the chromophores and annealing of the silicon oxide in the matrix were studied on the dynamic properties of isomerization and induced birefringence.

Pentacene을 폴리이미드(PI) 배향막 위에 증착하면 기판 위에 수직으로 배열하는 것을 편광 FTIR 실험을 이용하여 확인하였다. Pentacene 이 PI 필름 위에 수직으로 증착할 때, 러빙하지 않은 즉, 등방성인 PI 필름 위에서는 특정한 방향성이 없이 배열하는 반면 러빙한 PI 필름 위에서는 러빙 방향과 평행하게 pentacene의 ring 평면이 배열하였다. Pentacene 특성 피크 중 ring 평면에 평행한 transition dipole moment 를 가지는 $1296cm^{-1}$ 밴드는 러빙 방향과 평행일 때 그리고 ring 평면에 수직한 진동운동의 $908cm^{-1}$ 밴드는 러빙 방향에 수직인 편광 IR 스펙트럼 에서 피크가 크게 나타나는 것이 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 평광 FTIR 실험 결과는 기판에 수직으로 증착하는 pentacene 분자들이 PI 필름의 러빙 방향과 평행하게 ring 평면이 배열을 할 때 나타날 수 있는 것으로, PI 사슬들의 배향이 pentacene 분자들의 배향에 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주는 것이다.

시간분해 ESR 분광법에서는 CIDEP법과 흡수 ESR 분광법을 사용하였다. 2-프로판올과 트리에틸아민 혼합용매에서 anthraquinone이 레이저 광선에 의해서 생성된 anthraquinone 라디칼 음이온을 시간분해 ESR 분광법으로 측정하였다. 이 semiquinone 라디칼은 대단히 안정하여 cw ESR을 측정할 수 있었다. 분극된 semiquinone 라디칼이 열적 평형상태로 소멸되는 속도상수는 스핀-격자 완화시간의 역수로서 2.6 ${\times}\;1-^5$ sec$^{-1}$이다. 그리고, 그 라디칼의 소멸속도상수는 300.0 sec$^{-1}$이다. CIDEP스펙트럼의 시간의존성에 대한 강도 변화는 마이크로파 출력이 강할수록 일반적으로 증가하였다. 그러나, 지나치게 출력을 높이면 감소 곡선상에 Torrey 진동이 뒷따라 일어났다.

The $[Ru(tpy)_2]Cl_2$ (tpy:2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) complex was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by $^1H$-NMR and elemental analysis. Its binding mode toward DNA was compared with the well-known $[Ru(bpy)_3]Cl_2$ (bpy:2,2-bipyridyl), using isotropic absorption, linear dichroism(LD) spectroscopy, and an energy minimization study. Compared to $[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$, the $[Ru(tpy)_2]^{2+}$ complex exhibited very little change in its absorption pattern, especially in the MLCT band, upon binding to DNA. Furthermore, upon DNA binding, both Ru(II) complexes induced a decrease in the LD magnitude in the DNA absorption region. The $[Ru(tpy)_2]^{2+}$ complex produced a strong positive LD signal in the ligand absorption region, which is in contrast with the $[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$ complex. Observed spectral properties led to the conclusion that the interaction between the ligands and DNA bases is negligible for the $[Ru(tpy)_2]^{2+}$ complex, although it formed an adduct with DNA. This conclusion implies that both complexes bind to the surface of DNA, most likely to negatively charged phosphate groups via a simple electrostatic interaction, thereby orienting to exhibit the LD signal. The energy minimization calculation also supported this conclusion.

With the objective to design and synthesis of Schiff's base symmetrical liquid crystal dimmers and to study the effect of molecular structure variation ($o-ortho$, $m-meta$, $p-para$) and change in alkoxy terminal chain length on mesomorphic properties of liquid crystals, We have synthesized Schiff base dimers from dialdehyde derivative containing 2-hydroxy-1,3-dioxypropylene as short spacer with aniline derivatives having different lengths of terminal alkoxy chains ($n$ = 5, 7, 9). The chemical structure of the final products was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ($^1H$ NMR) spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties and optical textures of the resultant dimers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The existence of smectic A phase transition was confirmed by the observation of batonnets and fan shaped textures in optical microscopy when compound were heated from crystalline phase. All of the dimers of this series, with the exception of $\mathbf{2S_5}$ -ortho, -meta, -para, were thermotropic liquid crystal. The compound $\mathbf{2S_9}$ -meta was monotropic, while the rest were enantiotropic. It was found that the change in terminal alkoxy chain length has pronounced effect on the mesomorphic properties. The temperature range of smectic A phase window widens with increasing alkoxy chain length.

$[Ru(bpy)_2(dppz)]^2+$ (bpy=2,2'-bipyfidine, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) (RuBD), a long-lifetime metal-ligand complex, displays favorable photophysical properties. These include long lifetime, polarized emission, but no significant fluorescence from the complex that is not bound to DNA. To show the usefulness of this luminophore (RuBD) for probing the bending and torsional dynamics of nucleic acids, its intensity and anisotropy decays when intercalated into supercoiled and relaxed pTZ18U plasmids were examined using frequency-domain fluorometry with a blue light-emitting diode (LED) as the modulated light source. The mean lifetimes for the supercoiled plasmids (< $\tau$ >=148 ns) were somewhat shorter than those for the relaxed plasmids (< $\tau$ >=160 ns). This suggests that the relaxed plasmids were shielded more efficiently from water. The anisotropy decay data also showed somewhat shorter slow rotational correlation times for supercoiled plasmids (288 ns) than for the relaxed plasmids (355 ns). The presence of two rotational correlation times suggests that RuBD reveals both the bending and torsional motions of the plasmids. These results indicate that RuBD can be useful for studying both the bending and torsional dynamics of mucleic acids.

고분자의 주사슬에 광반응을 할 수 있는 phenyldiacryloyl 그룹을 가지고, 곁사슬에 액정분자와 비슷한 메조겐인 biphenyl을 에테르 결합을 통해서 도입된 가용성 광반응성 폴리아미드를 합성하였다. 합성된 폴리아미드 고분자는 0.65 dL/g의 대수점도를 가지며, 일반적인 코팅 방법으로 여러 기질의 표면에 잘 도포되는 성질을 보였다. 광반응성 폴리아미드 고분자의 화학 구조는 $^1H$ NMR과 Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy를 이용해서 확인하였다. 합성된 고분자의 유리전이온도는 $150^{\circ}C$까지 관측되지 않았으며, 열분해 온도는 $280^{\circ}C$로 관측되어, 열안정성이 높음을 확인하였다. 합성된 폴리아미드 고분자 박막을 비편광된 자외선을 노광시켜 노광하는 에너지에 따른 변화를 조사했을 때, 좋은 광반응성을 보였다. 광반응성 폴리아미드를 이용하여 선편광된 자외선을 노광하여 제작한 액정 셀 내에서, 액정분자들은 노광된 선편광 자외선의 electric vector 방향의 수직으로 배향되는 것이 관측되었으며, 이러한 현상은 선편광 자외선의 노광량에는 무관함을 보였다. 액정 셀 내에서 액정분자들의 pretilt angle은 선편광된 자외선의 노광량에 따라 약간의 차이를 보이며 $0.2^{\circ}$에서 $0.5^{\circ}$사이의 값을 보였다.

This paper focuses on improving organic thin film transistor (OTFT) characteristics by controlling the self-organization of pentacene molecules with an alignable high-dielectric-constant film. The process, based on the growth of pentacene film through high-vacuum sublimation, is a method of self-organization using ion-beam (IB) bombardment of the $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$ surface used as the gate dielectric layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the IB raises the rate of the structural anisotropy of the $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$film, and X-ray diffraction patterns show the possibility of increasing the anisotropy to create the self-organization of pentacene molecules in the first polarized monolayer. An effective mobility of $2.3{\times}10^{-3}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ was achieved, which is significantly different from that of pentacene films that are not aligned. The proposed OTFT devices with an ultrathin $HfO_2$ structure as the gate dielectric layer were operated at a gate voltage lower than 5 V.

The effect of inhibitors on the electrochemical behavior and the stress corrosion cracking resistance of Alloy 600(UNS N06600) was evaluated in 10% sodium hydroxide solution at $315^{\circ}C$. The specimens of a C-ring type for stress corrosion cracking test were polarized at 150 mV above the corrosion potential for 120 hours with and without inhibitors such as titanium oxide, titanium boride and cerium boride. The chemical compositions of the films formed on the crack tip in the C-ring specimens were analyzed using a scanning Auger electron spectroscopy. The cerium boride, the most effective, was observed to decrease the crack propagation rate more than a factor of three compared with that obtained in no inhibitor solution. It was found that the changes of the active-passive transition potentials and the film compositions were related to the resistance to stress corrosion cracking in high temperature caustic solution.
