Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be modified to produce a new concept of hybrid materials by introducing atoms or molecules inside their cylindrical empty space. Such an endohedral doping of the SWCNTs is expected to decisively alter their electronic transport and mechanical properties, In this study, we purified SWCNTs by three-step purification processes and formed the peapod structure by introducing $C_{60}$ fullerenes inside the SWCNTs. $C_{60}$ molecules were observed to be regularly arranged by transmission electron microscopy. In Raman spectra, the radial breathing mode (RBM) rather than the other modes was significantly affected by the endohedral injection of $C_{60}$. The RBM intensity was more greatly reduced in the large-diameter SWCNTs than the small-diameter ones, Raman spectroscopy is expected to be a key technique for analyzing $C_{60}$-encapsulated SWCNTs.

3,3-Dimethyl-1-butene ($C_6H_{12}$) monomer를 이용하여 RF power와 압력에 따라 막을 증착하였다. 증착된 막은 power/pressure (W/Torr)가 증가할수록 비정질 탄소막은 Raman 스펙트럼에서 D peak가 증가하였고, ring 구조의 막을 형성하였다. 또한 ring 구조의 막이 형성됨으로써 hardness와 modulus는 각각 12 GPa과 85 GPa로 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The constrained, iterative Fourier deconvolution procedure was applied to quantitatively analyze the overlapped bands in the Raman spectra of biomolecules. When applied to Raman spectra of lysozyme and ${\alpha}$-amylase, this procedure resolved the amide Ⅰ band into five component peaks. The relative intensities of the resolved peaks can possibly provide the composition of secondary structure elements in proteins. The deconvolution procedure was also useful in monitoring the small changes in relative intensities of C-S stretching modes due to different conformers of L-methionine in aqueous solutions at different pH values. The implemented procedure is generally applicable to the problem of resolution enhancement of spectroscopic, chromatographic, and electrophoretic data.

femtosecond laser를 광원으로 하는 optical tweezers는 광포획 뿐만 아니라 비선형 현상을 발생시킬 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 높은 첨두 출력에 의하여 포획된 세포는 쉽게 손상되어 질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LTRS(Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy)를 통하여 femtosecond laser와 CW laser에 의한 optical tweezers 상에서의 optical damage를 비교, 분석하였다.

Analytical capability of surface-enhanced Raman scattering has been evaluated. Silver films prepared by homogeneous chemical reduction were used as the substrate. Detection limits for p-nitrobenzoic acid, thiophenol and rhodamine 6G were around $10{\sim}100\;pg$.

We report a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform for the selective trace analysis of mercury (II) ions in drinkable water using aptamer-conjugated silver nanoparticles. Here, an aptamer designed to specifically bind to $Hg^{2+}$ ions in aqueous solution was labelled with a TAMRA moiety at the 5' end and used as a Raman reporter. Polyamine spermine tetrahydrochloride (spermine) was used to promote surface adsorption of the aptamer probes onto the silver nanoparticles. When $Hg^{2+}$ ions are added to the system, binding of $Hg^{2+}$ with T-T pairs results in a conformational rearrangement of the aptamer to form a hairpin structure. As a result of the reduced of electrostatic repulsion between silver nanoparticles, aggregation of silver nanoparticles occurs, and the SERS signal is significantly increased upon the addition of $Hg^{2+}$ ions. Under optimized assay conditions, the concentration limit of detection was estimated to be 5 nM, and this satisfies a limit of detection below the EPA defined limit of 10 nM in drinkable water.

The quantitative analysis of SB latex contents in coating color and coated paper was investigated with FT/Raman spectroscopy. From the measured FT/IR and FT/Ramon spectra, the peaks of coating color were compared with those of each compoents . Calibration curves were obtained by the area of latex peaks and PLS method of QuantIR program. The relation of predicted values in PLS method and actual values in coating mixtures and coating layer was examined. The components of coating layer in coated paper were investigated by EDS , X-mapping and SEM, The contents of latex in z-direction were calculated in the coating layer of unknown coated paper. The latex concentration measurements of Top layer and Pre layer in double coated paper show that each layer has different value. In single coated paper, it is clear that the latex concentration is highest at the surface and decreases with an increase of depth. From those results it is indicated that the latex migrates to the coated surface. The result of this study may be applied to the binder migration study and the quality control in paper mill.

Cotton has no adsorption ability for the cationic dye and heavy metal but, if anionized cotton can be made, it will be possible. In this study, to enable the anionisation of cotton fabric, it was modified using sodium vinylsolfonate(SV) as the anionisation reagent, employing a pad-dry-cure(PDC) technique. The effects of curing time, treatment concentrations of urea, sodium hydroxide and SV on the weight increase were experimented and then, the physical characterizations of sulfoethyl cotton(SEC) depending on the finishing conditions were estimated, thus the application possibility of SV as anionisation reagent was investigated. It was not much changed by anionisation except wrinkle recovery. And the structure of SEC was elucidated by Raman and NMR spectoscopy. The feasibility of using Raman and NMR spectroscopy with the band at $1,043cm^{-1}$, and 50.5ppm, respectively as marker band to determine sulfoethyl group of SEC was reported. The total degree of SV substitution(DSV) was determined via elemental analysis. SEC with diverse total DSV up to 0.066 was obtained. In the thermal decomposition(pyrolysis) by DSC, it can be found that the pyrolysis temperature was about $30^{\circ}C$ lower than that of non-treated cotton fabric.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the coloration characteristics by identifying the factor affecting red coloration of copper red glaze in traditional Korean ceramics. This study analyzed the characteristics of the reduction-fired copper red glaze by using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, EDX and UV-vis spectroscopy. As a result of XRD analysis, the glaze completely melted and amorphous glass appeared overall, and the characteristic peak of metal Cu was shown together. In addition, as a result of Raman analysis, the characteristic bands of CuO and $Cu_2O$ were shown together. The distribution of component elements was observed by EDX. As a result, copper(Cu) were distributed throughout the glaze. Thus, it was shown that copper red glaze appeared the best red coloration because metal Cu, CuO and $Cu_2O$ evenly existed throughout glaze in particle colloidal state. The chroma value of the copper red glaze was CIE $L^*$ 30.07, $a^*$ 13.65, $b^*$ 3.72. Wine-Red Solution was shown by Dark Graish Red coloration.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the influence of cyclic loading on phase transformation of zirconia abutments and to compare the effectiveness of three different quantitative ageing assessment techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty two Y-TZP prostheses fabricated from two brands, InCoris ZI and Ceramill ZI, were cemented to titanium bases and equally divided into two subgroups (n=8): control group without any treatment and aged group with cyclic loading between 20 N and 98 N for 100,000 cycles at 4 Hz in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$. The tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation was assessed by (i) conventional x-ray diffraction (XRD), (ii) micro x-ray diffraction (${\mu}XRD$), and (iii) micro-Raman spectroscopy. The monoclinic-phase fractions (M%) were compared by two-way ANOVA. RESULTS. InCoris Zi presented significantly higher M% than Ceramill Zi in both control and aged groups (P<.001). Both materials exhibited significant phase transformation with monoclinicphase of 1 to 3% more in aged groups than controls for all three assessment techniques. The comparable M% was quantified by both ${\mu}XRD$ and XRD. The highest M% was assessed with micro-Raman. CONCLUSION. Cyclic loading produced significant phase transformation in tested Y-TZP prostheses. The micro-Raman spectroscopy could be used as an alternative to XRD and ${\mu}XRD$.
