The effect of Si quantum dots for solar cell appications was investigated. The 5 ~ 10 nm Si nanoparticle was fabricated on p-type single and poly crystalline wafer by magnetron sputtering and laser irradiation process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force measurement (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the Si QDs array were clearly embedded in insulating layer ($SiO_2$). Photoluminesence (PL) measurements reliably exhibited bandgap transitions with every size of Si QDs. The photo-current measurements were showed different result with size of QD and number of superlattice.

InAs와 InGaAs 양자점(Quantum Dot: QD)을 이용한 광대역 초발광 다이오드(Superluminescent Diode: SLD) 시료가 분자선증착법(Molecular Beam Epitaxy)을 이용하여 성장되었다. 광대역 파장대 출력을 얻기 위해 각기 다른 종류의 양자점과 다른 크기의 양자점을 적층하였다. 시료는 광발광(Photoluminescence: PL) 측정과 전계발광(Electroluminescence: EL) 측정을 통해 분석 되었으며, PL 측정결과 1222 nm와 1321 nm 파장에서 최대치(peak)를 나타냈으며 EL 측정결과 900mA 전류 주입시 131 nm의 반치폭(Full Width at Half Maximum: FWHM)을 얻었다.

ZnO 나노 구조는 화학적으로 안정하고 큰 엑시톤 에너지를 가지는 성질 때문에 청색 영역에서 작동하는 광전소자의 제작에 대단히 유용하다. ZnO 나노 구조중에서 ZnO 나노 입자는 UV 광탐지기 소자가 작동하는 영역에서 광반응이 매우 민감하여 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다[1]. 그래핀은 높은 전도도, 투명도 및 화학적, 열적 안정성이 뛰어난 독특한 물리적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 차세대 전자소자와 광전소자의 우수한 소재로 각광 받고 있다[2,3]. 본 연구에서는 UV 광탐지기에서 뛰어난 특성을 보이는 ZnO 양자점을 포함된 poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) 층에 전기적 특성이 뛰어난 그래핀 층을 삽입하여 UV 광탐지기의 광전류를 향상 시키는 연구를 하였다. PVK 표면에 ZnO 양자점이 붙어서 형성되어 있는 모습과 그래핀 층에 PVK와 ZnO QD가 붙어있는 것을 투사 전자 현미경을 통하여 관찰 하였다. 전류-접압 측정을 하여 암전류와 광전류의 차이가 많이 나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그래핀 층을 삽입한 광탐지기 소자에서 광전류가 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

An efficient method for labeling individual proteins in live cells is required for investigations into biological mechanisms and cellular processes. Here we describe the preparation of small quantum dots (QDs) that target membrane surface proteins bearing a hexahistidine-tag ($His_6$-tag) via specific binding to an nitrilotriacetic acid complex of nickel(II) ($NTA{\cdot}Ni^{2+}$) on the QD surfaces. We showed that the $NTA{\cdot}Ni^{2+}$-QDs bound to His-tag functionalized beads as a cellular mimic with high specificity and that QDs successfully targeted $His_6$-tagged vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VMAP) on cell surfaces. This strategy provides an efficient approach to monitoring synaptic protein dynamics in spatially restricted and confined biological environments.

Recently perovskite materials with much cheaper cost and marvellous optoelectronic properties have been studied for next generation LED display devices overseas. Technology development trends of inorganic $CsPbX_3$(X=halogen) based LEDs (PeLEDs) with assumed high stability were investigated on literature worldwide. It was found that syntheses methods of these nanocrystals (NCs, mainly quantum dots, QDs) made great progress. A new room temperature synthesis method showed outstanding PL (photoluminescence) properties such as high quantum yield (QY), narrow emission width, storage stability comparable with, or often exceeding those of conventional hot injection method and CdSe@ZnS type inorganic colloidal QDs. PeLEDs with shell layers might be more promising, indicating urgent real research start of this solution processing technology for small businesses in Korea.

Recently, display technology has been focused in regard with with color reproduction, contrast ratio, image resolution and color bit. Among these technologies, the color reproducibliity of White, Red, Green, and Blue is associated with the TV plaform and is expressed as a major technology. Major TV platforms are divided into three categories since 2015, including LCD-based phosphor coverted LED BLU technology, QD sheet technology using nano-sized quantum dots, and OLED technology. In this paper, we describe the color reproducibility definition and background, luminescent materials with wide color gamut, color reproducibility of TV display performance, and discuss about next luminescent materials.

We present a microfluidic chip designed for the detection of antibody by using quantum dots fluorescence and a microbead-based assay. A custom designed PDMS microfluidic chip with multi-layer channel is utilized for capturing microbeads; antibody injection into each micro-well; QD injection; and fluorescence detection. The experiment using the fabricated microfluidic chip has been performed on solutions with various concentrations of antibody and has shown correlated fluorescent intensities.

Objective : Patients with spinal cord injury are increasing in numbers. However, there is no reliable treatment guide in both conventional & complementary medicine. Also, there are not much clinical case of patients with spina cord injury in oriental medical field. We investigated effect of sweet BV on subacute stage patient with spinal cord injury. Method : 31-year old female patient with spinal cord injury was treated with herb medicine(TID), electro arcupunture (BID), sweet BV injection(QOD), Physical treatment(QD), and conventional-medicine. Result : We had a satisfactory result with using sweet BV injection. The patient's ASIA grade improved from 34 to 52. And Frankle classification of the patient shifted from A to B. Conclusion : We reach a conclusion Using Sweet BV improve the sensation of patient with spinal cord injury. And more study about this disease is needed.

In this study, we have studied the characteristics of the organic photodiode varying due to the blending conditions of the quantum dots (QDs). The active layer of the photodiode was formed with poly (3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester, and CdSe QDs with and without ZnS shell were blended in the active layer. The photodiode with CdSe/ZnS QDs showed the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) and short-circuit current (Jsc). The performance change of the organic photodiode by X-ray irradiation was also measured. Regardless of X-ray irradiation conditions, the photodiode with CdSe/ZnS QDs showed better stability than other cases.
