The role of excess Pb about the crystallization behavior and electrical properties in b(Zr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/)O3(PZT) thin films has not been precisely defined. In this work, the effect of excess Pb content on the ferroelectric properties of these films was investigated. To analyze the effect, PZT films containing various amounts of excess Pb were Prepared. PZT thin films were deposited on the Pt/Ti bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering method and then they were crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The experiment showed that all PZT films indicated perovskite polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation (111) and no pyrochlore phase was observed. As higher excess Pb was included, the films showed that value of leakage current shift from 2.03${\times}$10$\^$-6/ to 6.63 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-8/A/cm$^2$ at 100kV/cm, and value of remanent polarization shift from 8.587 ${\mu}$C /cm$^2$ to 4.256 ${\mu}$C/ cm$^2$. Electrical properties of PZT thin film affected by Pb excess content of target were explained to be caused of defect among space charges and defect grain boundaries.

백금전극을 사용해서 $CrO_4^=$이온의 환원을 중성인 비완충용액과 pH 8∼10 범위의 완충용액 및 강한 알카리성용액에서 조사하였다. pH 8∼10 범위의 완충용액에서 $CrO_4^=$이온의 환원에 관여한 전하이전의 수는 pH가 증가하므로써 점점 증가되었다. $CrO_4^=$이온dl 0.2N NaOH 용액에서 환원되어 질때 반응기구가 다음과 같이 가정되었다. $CrO_4^=+H_2O+2e{\rightarrow}CrO_3^=+2OH^-,\;CrO_3^=3H_2O+e{\rightarrow}Cr(OH)_3+3OH^-$ pH 13.5이고 지지전해질인 $(CH_3)_4NOH$ 용액에서 $CrO_4^=$ 이온이 환원되어 질때 두째번 파에서 심한 흡착을 보여주었다. 0.1N KCl의 비완충용액에서 linear sweep voltammogram은 initial voltage와 voltage sweep rate에 따라 세개 혹은 네개의 분명한 파로 나타나지만 첫째번 파는 확산에 의해서만 된 파라고 설명하기에는 어려움이 있었다.

촉매 코팅하지 않은 탄소전극(graphite felt)을 이용한 미생물연료전지에서 전력 오버슈트 현상이 발생하였으며 환원전위의 손실이 대부분의 전압 감소 원인으로 파악되었다. 이를 해결하고자 백금-탄소 촉매 코팅한 탄소전극과 싸고 고전도성을 지닌 스테인리스강 수세미 전극을 사용하여 전력 오버슈트 현상 극복과 전압손실에 대한 분석을 하였다. 백금-탄소 촉매 코팅한 탄소전극을 환원전극으로 이용한 미생물연료전지에서는 여전히 전력오버슈트가 발생하였지만 스테인리스강 수세미 전극에서는 낮은 환원용액 공급유속에서도 전력 오버슈트가 발생하지 않았으며 29% 가량의 증가된 최대전력밀도 값($23.9A/m^3$)을 얻을 수 있었다. 탄소전극을 사용한 미생물연료전지의 전력 오버슈트는 환원용액의 유입유속을 증가시킴에 따라 해결할 수 있었다. 또한 탄소전극과 스테인리스강 수세미 전극을 이용한 미생물연료전지 모두 유속 증가에 따라 최대전력밀도 값과 최대전류밀도 값이 2-3.5배 가량 증가하였다. 유입유속 증가에 따른 전압손실을 분석한 결과 활성도 손실, 저항 손실, 물질전달 손실 모든 구간에서 미생물연료전지의 환원전위 손실이 감소하였다. 이에 따라 스테인리스강 수세미는 경제성 있고 전력오버슈트 현상을 예방하는 미생물연료전지의 환원전극으로써 좋은 재료이며 만약 환원전극 문제로 인해 전력 오버슈트 현상이 발생한다면 환원조 내부 유동을 증가시키는 것이 이를 해결할 수 있는 좋은 방법이라 판단된다.

Ginsenosides, one of the active ingredients of Panax ginseng, show various pharmacological and physiological effects, and they are converted into compound K (CK) or protopanaxatriol (M4) by intestinal microorganisms. CK is a metabolite derived from protopanaxadiol (PD) ginsenosides, whereas M4 is a metabolite derived from protopanaxatriol (PT) ginsenosides. The ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid $receptor_C$ ($GABA_C$) is primarily expressed in retinal bipolar cells and several regions of the brain. However, little is known of the effects of ginsenoside metabolites on $GABA_C$ receptor channel activity. In the present study, we examined the effects of CK and M4 on the activity of human recombinant $GABA_C$ receptor (${\rho}$ 1) channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes by using a 2-electrode voltage clamp technique. In oocytes expressing $GABA_C$ receptor cRNA, we found that CK or M4 alone had no effect in oocytes. However, co-application of either CK or M4 with GABA inhibited the GABA-induced inward peak current ($I_{GABA}$). Interestingly, pre-application of M4 inhibited $I_{GABA}$ more potently than CK in a dose- dependent and reversible manner. The half-inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) values of CK and M4 were $52.1{\pm}2.3$ and $45.7{\pm}3.9{\mu}M$, respectively. Inhibition of $I_{GABA}$ by CK and M4 was voltage-independent and non-competitive. This study implies that ginsenoside metabolites may regulate $GABA_C$ receptor channel activity in the brain, including in the eyes.

Liquid crystal (LC; E7 and/or ML-0249)-embedded, poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-co-HFP)-based, polymer electrolytes were prepared for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The electrolytes contained 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (PMII), tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), and iodine ($I_2$), which participate in the $I_3^-/I^-$ redox couple. The incorporation of photochemically stable PVdF-co-HFP in the DSSCs created a stable polymer electrolyte that resisted leakage and volatilization. DSSCs, with liquid crystal(LC)-embedded PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolytes between the amphiphilic ruthenium dye N719 absorbed to the nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ photoanode and the Pt counter electrode, were fabricated. These DSSCs displayed enhanced redox couple reduction and reduced charge recombination in comparison to that fabricated from the conventional PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolyte. The behavior of the polymer electrolyte was improved by the addition of optimized amounts of plasticizers, such as ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC). The significantly increased short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$, $14.60\;mA/cm^2$) and open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$, 0.68 V) of these DSSCs led to a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.42% and a fill factor of 0.65 under a standard light intensity of $100\;mW/cm^2$ irradiation of AM 1.5 sunlight. A DSSC fabricated by using E7-embedded PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolyte exhibited a maximum incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 50%.

The $SrBi_2$$Nb_2$$O_{9}$ (SBN) thin films were deposited with $SrNb_2$$O_{6}$ / (SNO) and $Bi_2$$O_3$ targets by co-sputtering method. For the growth of SBN thin films, we adopted the various power ratios of two targets; the power ratios of the SNO target to $Bi_2$$O_3$ target were 100 W : 20 W, 100 W : 25 W, and 100 W : 30 W during sputtering the SBN films. We found that the electrical properties of SBN films were greatly dependent on Bi content in films. The $Bi_2$Pt and $Bi_2$$O_3$ phase as second phases occurred at the films with excess Bi content greater than 2.4, resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The best growth condition of the SBN films was obtained at the power ratio of 100 W : 25 W for the two targets. At this condition, the crystallinity and electrical properties of the films were improved at even low annealing temperature as $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h in oxygen ambient and the Sr, Bi and Nb component in the SBN films were about 0.9, 2.4, and 1.8 respectively. From the P-E and I-V curves for the specimen, the remnant polarization value ($2P_{r}$) of the SBN films was obtained about 6 $\mu$C/c $m^2$ at 250 kV/cm and the leakage current density of this thin film was $2.45$\times$10^{-7}$ $A/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 3 V.V.

Plasma in liquid phase has attracted great attention in the last few years by the wide domain of applications in material processing, decomposition of organic and inorganic chemical compounds and sterilization of water. The plasma in liquid is characterized by three main regions which interact each - other during the plasma operation: the liquid phase, which supply the plasma gas phase with various chemical compounds and ions, the plasma in the gas phase at atmospheric pressure and the interface between these two regions. The most complex region, but extremely interesting from the fundamental, chemical and physical processes which occur here, is the boundary between the liquid phase and the plasma gas phase. In our laboratory, plasma in liquid which behaves as a glow discharge type, is generated by using a bipolar pulsed power supply, with variable pulse width, in the range of 0.5~10 ${\mu}s$ and 10 to 30 kHz repetition rate. Plasma in water and other different solutions was characterized by electrical and optical measurements. Strong emissions of OH and H radicals dominate the optical spectra. Generally water with 500 ${\mu}S/cm$ conductivity has a breakdown voltage around 2 kV, depending on the pulse width and the repetition rate of the power supply. The characteristics of the plasma initiated in ultrapure water between pairs of different materials used for electrodes (W and Ta) were investigated by the time-resolved optical emission and the broad-band absorption spectroscopy. The deexcitation processes of the reactive species formed in the water plasma depend on the electrode material, but have been independent on the polarity of the applied voltage pulses. Recently, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy method was employed to investigate the chemistry in the liquid phase and at the interface between the gas and the liquid phases of the solution plasma system. The use of the solution plasma allows rapid fabrication of the metal nanoparticles without being necessary the addition of different reducing agents, because plasma in the liquid phase provides a reaction field with a highly excited energy radicals. We successfully synthesized gold nanoparticles using a glow discharge in aqueous solution. Nanoparticles with an average size of less than 10 nm were obtained using chlorauric acid solutions as the metal source. Carbon/Pt hybrid nanostructures have been obtained by treating carbon balls, synthesized in a CVD chamber, with hexachloro- platinum acid in a solution plasma system. The solution plasma was successfully used to remove the template remained after the mesoporous silica synthesis. Surface functionalization of the carbon structures and the silica surface with different chemical groups and nanoparticles, was also performed by processing these materials in the liquid plasma.
