We have prepared crystalline Ag nanoparticles with an average size of 4 nm in diameter by using an inductively coupled plasma reactor equipped with the liquid nitrogen cooling system. Our magnetic data show that the nano-sized effect of Ag nanoparticles on the magnetic properties is ferromagnetic, instead of a diamagnetic component of the Ag bulk and a superparamagnetic component of magnetic nanoparticles. We have also studied the magnetic properties of Ag-Cu nanocomposites with an opposite concentration profile between surface and core. These comparisons indicate that the ferromagnetic component strongly depends on the surface of Ag nanoparticles, while the paramagnetic component is strongly affected by the outer oxide layer, with the background of a diamagnetic component from the core of Ag.

$SiO_2$ thin films embedded with Ge microcrystallites (Ge-$SiO_2$) were prepared by use of r.f. co-sputtering technique from a Ge, $SiO_2$ composite target. The size of Ge crystallites can been modulated by the experiment parameters. The optical absorption and non-linear optical properties of Ge-$SiO_2$ films were measured. The blue shift of the optical absorption edge, the saturated absorption and two-photon absorption under the condition of resonant absorption have been observed, and are discussed according to the quantum confinement effect.

Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) is emerging as a promising active material for next-generation solar cell applications because of its inexpensive and solution-processable characteristics as well as unique properties such as a tunable band-gap due to the quantum-size effect and multiple exciton generation. However, the most widely used spin-coating method for the formation of the quantum dot (QD) active layers is generally hard to be adopted for high productivity and large-area process. Instead, the spray-coating technique may potentially be utilized for high-throughput production of the CQD solar cells (CQDSCs) because it can be adapted to continuous process and large-area deposition on various substrates although the cell efficiency is still lower than that of the devices fabricated with spin-coating method. In this work, we observed that the subsequent treatment of two different ligands, halide ion and butanedithiol, on the lead sulfide (PbS) QD layer significantly enhanced the cell efficiency of the spray CQDSCs. The maximum power conversion efficiency was 5.3%, comparable to that of the spin-coating CQDSCs.

본 연구에서는 PVD 공정으로 Si 양자점 형성시 증착조건의 변화가 증착된 양자점 크기와 분포에 미치는 영향을 Monte Carlo법을 응용한 전산모사를 통하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 전산모사시 PVD 공정에서 일반적으로 제어가 가능한 기판온도, 증착시간, 가스압력과 타겟-기판거리를 공정변수로 선택하였다. 계산 겨로가 증착속도가 0.05 nm/sec이고 기판온도 490${\circ}$, 증착시간 7 sec, 가스압력 3 mTorr, 타겟-기판거리가 8 cm일때 증착 밀도가 $1{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$인 Si 양자점 형성이 가능할 것으로 예측되었다.

Colloidal cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) and their nanoparticles have been synthesized by one pot sonochemical reactions under multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) conditions, which are quite mild and facile compared to other typical high temperature solution-based methods. For a typical reaction, $CdCl_2$ and tellurium powder with hexadecylamine and trioctylphosphine/trioctylphosphineoxide (TOP/TOPO) as a dispersant were sonicated in toluene solvent at 20 KHz and a power of 220W for 5-40 min at 60 $^{\circ}C$. The sizes of CdTe particles, in a very wide size range from 2 nm-30 ${\mu}m$, were controllable by varying the sonicating and thermal heating conditions. The prepared CdTe QDs show different colors from pale yellow to dark brown and corresponding photoluminescence properties due mainly to the quantum confinement effect. The CdTe nanoparticles of about 20 nm in average were found to have band gap of 1.53 eV, which is the most optimally matched band gap to solar spectrum.

Easy and simple synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals was achieved through sol-gel process. CdSe nanocrystals were synthesized from the reaction of cadmium oxide and selenium in the prescence of trioctylphosphine oxide, tributylphosphine, octadecene, octadecylamine, and stearic acid. The effect of reaction temperature for the determination of size of CdSe nanocrystals was investigated after the addition of selenium. The reaction temperature for the growth of CdSe nanocrystals was increased by every $20^{\circ}C$ from 170 to 190, 210, 230, 250, 270, and $290^{\circ}C$. When the reaction temperature was higher, the absorption wavelength in the absorption spectrum was increased which indicated that the size of CdSe nanocrystals was increased. The emission wavelength in the photoluminescence spectrum was increased from 438 to 489, 542, 591, 643, 692, and 745 nm, as the size of CdSe nanocrystals was increased. The control of the reaction temperature illustrated that the color tuning of emission wavelength were successfully obtained.

A $ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst decorated with PbS quantum dots (QDs) was synthesized to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency for the decomposition of dye in aqueous media. A $TiO_2$ porous layer, as a precursor photocatalyst, was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation, and exhibited irregular porous cells with anatase and rutile crystalline structures. Then, a ZnO-deposited $TiO_2$ catalyst was fabricated using a zinc acetate solution, and PbS QDs were uniformly deposited on the surface of the $ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. For the PbS $QDs/ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst, ZnO and PbS nanoparticles are uniformly precipitated on the $TiO_2$ surface. However, the diameters of the PbS particles were very fine, and their shape and distribution were relatively more homogeneous compared to the ZnO particles on the $TiO_2$ surface. The PbS QDs on the $TiO_2$ surface can induce changes in band gap energy due to the quantum confinement effect. The effective band gap of the PbS QDs was calculated to be 1.43 eV. To evaluate their photocatalytic properties, Aniline blue decomposition tests were performed. The presence of ZnO and PbS nanoparticles on the $TiO_2$ catalysts enhanced photoactivity by improving the absorption of visible light. The PbS $QDs/ZnO/TiO_2$ heterojunction photocatalyst showed a higher Aniline blue decomposition rate and photocatalytic activity, due to the quantum size effect of the PbS nanoparticles, and the more efficient transport of charge carriers.

Droplet size and distribution are important parameters determining venturi scrubber performance. In this paper, we proposed physical models for a maximum stable droplet size prediction and upper limit log-normal (ULLN) distribution parameters. For the proposed maximum stable droplet size prediction model, a Eulerian-Lagrangian framework and a Reitz-Diwakar breakup model are solved simultaneously using CFD calculations to reflect the effect of multistage breakup and droplet acceleration. Then, two ULLN distribution parameters are suggested through best fitting the previously published experimental data. Results show that the proposed approach provides better predictions of maximum stable droplet diameter and Sauter mean diameter compared to existing simple empirical correlations including Boll, Nukiyama and Tanasawa. For more practical purpose, we developed the simple, one dimensional (1-D) calculation of Sauter mean diameter.

GaAs/AlGaAs의 경우, 주기성(periodicity),계면 급준성, Al 조성 균일성을 경사연마 및 double crystal x-ray 측정에 의하여 확인하였고, 고립 양자우물의 양자효과(quantum size effect)에 의한 PL(photoluminescence) 스펙트럼을 관측하였다. 이 PL FWHM (full width at half maximum)과 우물 두께의 관계로 부터 계면 급준성이 1 monolayer fluctuation 정도인 초격자 구조가 성장되었음을 확인하였다. 한편, HEMT 구조의 경우에 헤테로 계면에 형성된 2차원 전자층의 존재를 C-V profile, SdH(shu-bnikov-de Haas)진동, 저온 Hall 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. 저온 Hall 측정에서 15K에서 sheet carrier density $5.5{\times}10^{11}cm^-2$,mobility $69,000cm^2/v.sec$, 77K에서 sheet carrier density $6.6{\times}10^{11}cm^-2$, mobility $41,200cm^2/v.sec$ 이었다. 또한 quantum Hall effect 측정으로 부터 잘 형성된 SdH 진동 및 quantized Hall plateau를 관측하였다.

Dimethyldioxirane$[(CH_3)_2CO_2]$의 분자구조, vibrational frequencies 그리고 infrared(IR) 스펙트럼의 세기(intensity)등에 대한 이론적 연구를 high level ab initio 양자역학적 방법(CISD,CCSD, CCDS(T))을 사용하여 수행하였다. 분자구조의 경우 C-O와 O-O에 대한 결합길이는 parent dixoirane$(CH_2O_2)$과 유사한 결과를 보여주었으며, electron correlation effect의 영향이 C-C나 C-H결합길이 보다 더 크게 작용하였다. 사용된 basis sets(DZ,DZP, TZP, 그리고 TZ2P)에 대해서는 polarization function의 역할이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났으며 triple zeta(TZ)에 의한 효과는 상대적으로 나타났다. 한편 계산된 harmonic vibrational frequency들을 실험결과 및 다른 이론 계산결과와 비교, 분석하였으며 IR intencity에 근거하여 각 vibrational mode를 assign하였다.
