High temperature annealing is required to synthesize graphene using CVD. When thin metal catalyst is used for the synthesis, the high temperature pre-annealing makes the thin catalyst highly agglomerated. We investigated the agglomeration effect on the shape of the synthesized graphene. It is found that high temperature annealing makes randomly distributed many hole or blister on metal catalyst, and the synthesized graphene features floral pattern around the hole. The floral patterns of graphene turned out to be multi-layers and higher D peaks in raman spectrum.

This report covers an effective fabrication method of graphene nanoribbon for top-gated field effect transistors (FETs) utilizing electron beam lithography with a bi-layer resists (XR-1541/poly methtyl methacrylate) process. To improve the variation of the gating properties of FETs, the residues of an e beam resist on the graphene channel are successfully taken off through the combination of reactive ion etching and a lift-off process for the XR-1541 bi-layer. In order to identify the presence of graphene structures, atomic force microscopy measurement and Raman spectrum analysis are performed. We believe that the lift-off process with bi-layer resists could be a good solution to increase gate dielectric properties toward the high quality of graphene FETs.

Amorphous fluorocarbon (a-C:F) is of interest for low dielectric interlayer material, but in this work we applied this material to FED field emitter. N-doped a-C:F films were deposited by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICPCVD). The Raman spectra were measured to study the film structure and inter-band optical absorption coefficients were measured using Perkin-Elmer UV-VIS-IR spectrophotometer and optical band gap was obtained using Tauc's plot. XPS spectrum and AFM image were investigated to study bond structure and surface morphology. Current-electric field(I-E) characteristic of the film was measured for the characterization of electron emission properties. The optimum doping concentration was found to be [N2]/[CF4]=9% in the gas phase. The turn-on field and the emission current density at $[N_2]/[CF_4]$=9% were found to be 7.34V/$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 16 $\mu\textrm{A}/\textrm{cm}^2$ at 12.8V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively.

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers on a catalytic metal substrate, using an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame, was investigated. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, with diameters of 20 - 60nm, were formed on the substrate coated with nickel-nitrate in the region of 5 - 6mm from the flame center along the radial direction. The gas temperature for this region was ranging from about 1400 to 900K. Nickel particles originated from the coated nickel-nitrate on the substrate were the major catalyst for the formation of the nanomaterials. HR-TEM and Raman spectrum revealed that synthesized carbon nanotubes had multi-walled structures with some defective graphite layers at walls.

CARS(Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy) temperature measurement under engine-like condition was validated by measuring unburned gas temperatures of premixed propane-air flame in a constant volume combustion chamber. The measured temperatures were compared with predictions of 2 zone flame propagation model. End-gas temperatures were measured were measured by CARS technique in a conventional 4 cylinder DOHC spark-ignition engine fueled with PRF 80. Cylinder pressure was measured simultaneously with CARS signal and used as a parameter on fitting CARS spectrum to library of theoretical spectra. There was a good agreement between the measured temperature and adiabatic core temperature calculated from measured cylinder pressure. Significant heating by pre-flame reaction in the gas was observed in the late part of compression stroke.

The vibrational behavior and the molecular dynamics of the high Tc superconductor Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 have been studied experimentally and by atomistic computer simulation methods. For Ba0.6K0.4BiO3, the vibrational spectrum is dominated by oxygen ion modes from 150cm-1 to 820cm-1 including infrared absorption bands at 330, 480, 640 and 830cm-1including infrared absorption bands at 330, 480, 640 and 830cm-1at room temperature. Band assignments are discussed in relation to those bands predicted by simulations, and the infrared and Raman measurements reported in the literature.

In this work, we investigated the dependence of optical and electrical properties of amorphous hydrogenated SiC (a-SiC:H) films on annealing temperature(T$\sub$a/). The a-SiC:H films were deposited by PECVD(plasma enhanced vapor deposition) on coming glass, p-type Si(100) wafer using SiH$_4$+CH$_4$+N$_2$gas mixture. The experimental results have shown that the optical energy band gap(E$\sub$g/) of the a-SiC thin films unchanged in the range of T$\sub$a/ from 400$^{\circ}C$ to 600$^{\circ}C$. The Raman spectrum of the thin films, annealed at high temperatures, has shown that graphitization of carbon clusters and micro-crystalline silicon occurs. The current-voltage characteristics have shown good electrical properties at the annealed films.

Carbon thin films were deposited on STS 316L sheets by inductively coupled plasma enhanced magnetron sputtering with or without substrate bias voltage. Typical Raman spectrum for amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) was obtained, and the interfacial contact resistance (ICR) was measured to show its conductive nature. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to investigate the corrosion mechanism of the carbon coating under the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) condition. According to the pore-corrosion mechanism, the electrolyte penetrates the carbon coating through the pores and reacts with the substrate. As the substrate corrosion proceeds, the pore enlargement occurs and the surface area of the substrate exposed to the electrolyte. Applicability of the carbon coating for the PEMFC bipolar plate was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization experiments. Finally, an adhesion problem was briefly considered.

Here we describe the formation of a self-assembled film of thin multiwalled carbon Nanotubes(t-MWNT) modified with hydroxy groups through hydrogen peroxide treatment. Morphologies of t-MWNT films could be controlled by the various coating method, such as filtering, drop casting, spraying method, etc. The results show that on densification of the CNT suspension during drying, multiple hydroxy group-modified MWNTs can be self-assembled through strong surface hydrogen bond interaction while MWNTs usually exist an entangled state in the film. The interaction between t-MWNT was illustrated from Raman spectrum of spray coated films.

$Nd:YVO_4$ 연속발진 레이저 (CW laser)를 이용하여 다결정실리콘 (CLC poly-Si)을 제작하였다. CLC 다결정 실리콘의 결정화 영역은 결정립 크기에 따라 SLC(Sequential Lateral Crystallization) 영역, SLG(Super Lateral Grain) 영역 및 Small Grain 영역으로 구분된다. 레이저를 중첩스캔 하여 제작한 CLC 다결정실리콘의 경우, 레이저 스캔 경계에서 단결정립이 형성됨을 SEM으로 확인하고, CLC 다결정실리콘의 결정성을 XRD와 라만 스펙트럼(Raman spectrum)을 이용하여 조사하였다.
