  • The photocatalytic degradation of salicylic acid takes place in several stages involving coupled phenomena, such as the transport of molecules and the chemical reaction. The systems of transport equations and the photocatalytic reaction are numerically solved using COMSOL Mutiphysics (CM) simulation software. CM will make it possible to couple the phenomena of flow, the transport of pollutants (salicylic acid) by convection and diffusion, and the chemical reaction to the catalytic area (bauxite or TiO2 doped by nanoparticles). The simulation of the conversion rate allows to correctly fit the experimental results. The temporal simulation shows that the reaction reaches equilibrium after a transitional stage lasting over one minute. The outcomes of the study highlight the importance of diffusion in the boundary layer and the usefulness of injecting micro-agitation into the microchannel flow. Under such conditions, salicylic acid degrades completely.

  • A image quality is limited by a sample-and-hold circuit of the X-ray CMOS image sensor even though simple mos switch or bootstrapped clock circuit are used to get high quality sampled signal. Because distortion of sampled signal is produced by the charge injection from sample-and-hold circuit even using bootstrapped. This paper presents the 3D micro-inductor design methode in the CMOS process. Using this methode, it is possible to increase the ENOB (effective number of bit) through the use of micro-inductor which is calculated and designed in standard CMOS process in this paper. The ENOB is improved 0.7 bit from 17.64 bit to 18.34 bit without any circuit just by optimized inductor value resulting in verified simulation result. Because of this feature, micro-inductor methode suggested in this paper is able to adapt a mamography that is needed high resolution so that it help to decrease patients dose amount.

  • In a structure of ITO/CuPc/Al, we have studied that the properties of photovoltaic efficiency of copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) in donor layer using simulation. As a rusult, we have confirmed that anode current density is decreased and anode voltage is increased as increasing the thickness of CuPc. Also, when the light intensities is 10 [$mW/cm^2$], the external quantum efficiency is better than the others at the best wavelength of visible spectrum..

  • PbS QDs in glasses have attracted much attention due to the potentials for near-infrared applications. Growth of PbS QDs in the glass is discussed and size of PbS QDs formed in the glass can be tuned by varying the thermal treatment conditions. Hyperbolic-band approximation and four-band envelope function provide good simulation of the exciton energies of PbS QDs. Absorption and photoluminescence of PbS QDs was tuned into $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$ wave-length regime with large full width at half maximum photoluminescence intensity (>160 nm). Photoluminescence intensity of PbS QDs in the glasses was closely related to size of quantum dots, temperature, excitation and defects. Decrease in temperature shifted the photoluminescence bands to shorter wavelength and switched the photoluminescence from darkened state and brightened state.

  • One of the largest challenges for quantum chemistry today is to obtain accurate results for large complex molecular systems, and a variety of approaches have been proposed recently toward this goal. We have developed the ONIOM method, an onion skin-like multi-level method, combining different levels of quantum chemical methods as well as molecular mechanics method. We have been applying the method to many different large systems, including thermochemistry, homogeneous catalysis, stereoselectivity in organic synthesis, solution chemistry, fullerenes and nanochemistry, and biomolecular systems. The method has recently been combined with the polarizable continuum model (ONIOM-PCM), and was also extended for molecular dynamics simulation of solution (ONIOM-XS). In the present article the recent progress in various applications of ONIOM and other electronic structure methods to problems of homogeneous catalyses and nanochemistry is reviewed. Topics include 1. bond energies in large molecular systems, 2. organometallic reactions and homogeneous catalysis, 3. structure, reactivity and bond energies of large organic molecules including fullerenes and nanotubes, and 4. biomolecular structure and enzymatic reaction mechanisms.

  • Macromolecule diffusion in cells and tissues is important for cell signaling, metabolism and locomotion. Biophysical methods, including non-invasive or minimally invasive in-vivo photobleaching techniques and single quantum-dot tracking, have been used to measure the rates of macromolecule diffusion in living cells and tissues, including central nervous system and tumors. Mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of experimental data revealed various modes of diffusion, which are strongly coupled with spatiotemporal changes in nanoscale structures and material properties.

  • A combined buck and boost push-pull quantum series resonant rectifier(PPQSRR) is newly proposed to achieve a power factor correction without start-up inrush current. Based on the developed dynamic modeling of the proposed rectifier, an inrush current elimination control technique is proposed and the usefullness of the proposed rectifier and control method are verified by computer simulation and experimental results. With the proposed control method, a high power factor and wide range of output voltage can be obtained.

  • In this paper the model of the MQE-IMD-based neural trigger circuit is improved, where MQW-IMD is a new semiconductor device proposed and experimentally demonstrated by the author for the hardware implementation of the neural networks. The electron energy of AlXGa1-XAsbarrier is calculated by Ensemble Monte Carlo simulation according to the variation of Al mole fraction x and the applied electric field, whtich had been roughly estimated in the previous paper because of the difficulty to get the data. And in the consideration of the tunneling of the confined electrons within the quantum well the accuracy of the impact ionization rate is enhaned. Finally, the dependance of the frequency of pulse-train on the number of quantum wells can be calculated by modelling the effect of the distance of the induced positive charge from the cathode on the electric field at the cathode.

  • Since the high performance analog-to-digital converter can be built with Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic circuits the development of superconductive analog-to-digital converter has attracted a lot of interests as one of the most prospective area of the application of Josephson Junction technology. One of the main advantages in using Rapid Sng1e Flux Quantum logic in the analog-to-digital converter is the low voltage output from the Josephson junction switching, and hence the high resolution. To design an analog-digital converter, first we have used XIC tool to compose a circuit schematic, and then studied the operational principle of the circuit with WRSPICE tool. Through this process, we obtained the proper circuit diagram of an 1-bit analog-digital converter circuit. The optimized circuit was laid out as a mask drawing. Inductance values of the circuit layout were calculated with L-meter.
