Nanoporous AAO (Anodic Aluminum Oxide) membranes have many advantages as a template for variety of magnetic materials. Materials can be embedded into the pores by electrodeposition, sputtering or magnetic-field-assisted infiltration of magnetic nanoparticles. This work focuses on the fabrication of the magnetic structures in the AAO templates by electrodeposition. Our method allows the controlled growth of Co nanostructures within the porous alumina membrane in the form of dots, rods and long wires. The shape of Co nanostructures has been investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The magnetic hysteresis loops of Co nanostructures were measured using SQUID at 5 K and 300 K. The magnetic properties of the Co nanostructures are proportional to their aspect ratios and can be controlled by changing the aspect ratios.

We fabricated photonic crystals on GaAs and GaN substrates. After anodizing the aluminium thin film in electrochemical embient, the porous alumina was implemented to the mask for reactive ion beam etching process of GaAs wafer. And photonic crystals in GaN wafer were also fabricated using electron beam nano-lithography process. The coated PMMA thin film with 200 nm-thickness on GaN surface was patterned with triangular lattice and etched out the GaN surface by the inductively coupled plasma source. The fabricated GaAs and GaN photonic crystals provide the enhanced intensities of light emission for the wavelengths of 858 and 450 nm, respectively. We will present the detailed dimensions of photonic crystals from SEM and AFM measurements.

양극산화(anodization)에 의해 얻어지는 다공성 알루미나는 균일한 규칙성의 나노 구조를 지니며, 이를 제어하는 공정이 비교적 쉽고 경제적이어서 최근 연구가 광범위하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 1차로 옥살산(oxalic acid)을 이용하여 양극 산화를 한 산화물 만들고, 이 산화물을 선택적으로 제거한 뒤 생기는 알루미늄 표면의 벌집모양의 패턴에 붕산(boric acid)을 이용하여 2차 양극산화를 하여 알루미늄 산화물 나노 돗(nanodot)을 형성하였다. 정렬된 정육면체의 모서리에 20 nm 높이의 나노 돗이 배열되어 있는 구조를 형성하기 위한 최적의 조건을 조사하였다. 알루미늄 산화물 나노 돗 층에 금을 코팅하여 육각벌집모양으로 배열된 금 나노 돗 층을 형성하였다. 이 표면은 향후 바이오센서에 적용될 것으로 기대된다.

현재까지 다공성 알루미나 구조물은 대표적으로 양극산화 방법으로 구현되어 오고 있다. 양극산화 방법을 통해 규칙적인 배열을 가진 알루미늄 산화 피막은 쉽게 만들 수 있지만, 복합 구조물 형태를 가진 산화피막은 상대적으로 구현하기가 어렵다. 본 연구는 인산용액에서 양극산화 인가전압에 따른 피막 기공 크기, 두께 및 구조물 형태 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 다층 복합 산화물 구조물 구현을 위해 양극산화 인가전압 조건을 조절하였고, 실험 조건은 10% 인산용액에서 양극산화 인가전압 100 V와 120 V로 각각 수행하였다. 실험 결과는 각 조건에 따라 다공성 구조물과 복합 구조물 형태의 산화물 구조를 구현할 수 있었다.

Embedded capacitor technology can improve electrical perfomance and reduce assembly cost compared with traditional discrete capacitor technology. To improve the capacitance density of the $Al_2O_3$ based embedded capacitor on Cu cladded fiber reinforced plastics (FR-4), the specific surface area of the $Al_2O_3$ thin films was enlarged and their surface morphologies were controlled by anodization process parameters. From I-V characteristics, it was found that breakdown voltage and leakage current were 23 V and $1{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at 3.3 V, respectively. We have also measured C-V characteristics of $Pt/Al_2O_3/Al/Ti$ structure on CU/FR4. The capacitance density was $300nF/cm^2$ and the dielectric loss was 0.04. This nano-porous $Al_2O_3$ is a good material candidate for the embedded capacitor application for electronic products.

현재까지 개발되어 온 고체산화물 연료전지는 전해질로 사용되는 산소이온전도성 산화물의 저온에서의 낮은 전도도로 인해 그 사용영역이 제한되어 왔으며, 기판재료가 연료가스 확산층으로 사용되어야 한다는 점 때문에 저온작동을 위한 박막화 역시 명확한 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점은 고도의 평활도를 갖는 균일한 나노기공성 기판재를 도입함으로써 해결될 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 나노기공성 기판에 비정질 금속박막을 증착/산화하는 방안을 제시한다. 초박막형 성공정으로서, 산화 후 산소이온전도성 산화물을 구성하는 합금 타겟을 장착한 DC-magnetron sputter를 사용하여 $20{\sim}200nm$의 기공크기를 갖는 나노기공성 양극산화 알루미나 기판에 비정질 금속합금막을 형성하여 산화/열처리 과정을 거쳐 초박막 산화물 전해질의 제조공정을 실현하였다. 얻어진 박막의 가스투과특성, 입자/입계의 관찰, 상전이에 따른 결정구조/미세구조변화를 관찰하여 초박막 증착 및 전해질의 나노구조제어에 필요한 제반 기본물성데이터를 확보하였다.

Quantum beam technology has been expected to develop breakthroughs for nanotechnology during the third basic plan of science and technology (2006~2010). Recently, Green- or Life Innovations has taken over the national interests in the fourth basic science and technology plan (2011~2015). The NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science) has been conducting the corresponding mid-term research plans, as well as other national projects, such as nano-Green project (Global Research for Environment and Energy based on Nanomaterials science). In this lecture, the research trends in Japan and NIMS are firstly reviewed, and the typical achievements are highlighted over key nanotechnology fields. As one of the key nanotechnologies, the quantum beam research in NIMS focused on synchrotron radiation, neutron beams and ion/atom beams, having complementary attributes. The facilities used are SPring-8, nuclear reactor JRR-3, pulsed neutron source J-PARC and ion-laser-combined beams as well as excited atomic beams. Materials studied are typically fuel cell materials, superconducting/magnetic/multi-ferroic materials, quasicrystals, thermoelectric materials, precipitation-hardened steels, nanoparticle-dispersed materials. Here, we introduce a few topics of neutron scattering and ion beam nanofabrication. For neutron powder diffraction, the NIMS has developed multi-purpose pattern fitting software, post RIETAN2000. An ionic conductor, doped Pr2NiO4, which is a candidate for fuel-cell material, was analyzed by neutron powder diffraction with the software developed. The nuclear-density distribution derived revealed the two-dimensional network of the diffusion paths of oxygen ions at high temperatures. Using the high sensitivity of neutron beams for light elements, hydrogen states in a precipitation-strengthened steel were successfully evaluated. The small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) demonstrated the sensitive detection of hydrogen atoms trapped at the interfaces of nano-sized NbC. This result provides evidence for hydrogen embrittlement due to trapped hydrogen at precipitates. The ion beam technology can give novel functionality on a nano-scale and is targeting applications in plasmonics, ultra-fast optical communications, high-density recording and bio-patterning. The technologies developed are an ion-and-laser combined irradiation method for spatial control of nanoparticles, and a nano-masked ion irradiation method for patterning. Furthermore, we succeeded in implanting a wide-area nanopattern using nano-masks of anodic porous alumina. The patterning of ion implantation will be further applied for controlling protein adhesivity of biopolymers. It has thus been demonstrated that the quantum beam-based nanotechnology will lead the innovations both for nano-characterization and nano-fabrication.
