Indium sulfide thin films have been grown onto glass substrates using radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The as-deposited film were annealed in nitrogen atmosphere at different temperatures of 100, 200, 300, 400 and $500^{\circ}C$ with an 1 h annealing time. The effect of annealing temperature on composition, structure, morphology and optical properties of the as-grown In2S3 films has been studied. The XRD results indicate that the as-deposited films are composed by a mixture of both cubic ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ crystalline phases, with some fraction of tetragonal phase. The thermal annealing on the films produces the conversion of the cubic crystalline phases to the tetragonal ${\beta}$ one and a crystalline reorientation of the latter phase. The surface morphological analysis reveals that the films grown at $300^{\circ}C$ have an average grain size of ~ 58 nm. These films show a S/In ratio of 0.99. The optical band gap is found to be direct and the films grown at $300^{\circ}C$ shows a higher optical transmittance of 80% and an energy band gap of 2.52 eV.

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are distant, powerful sources of radiation over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma-rays. There is much evidence that they are driven by gravitational accretion of stars, dust, and gas, onto central massive black holes (MBHs) imprisoning anywhere from $\~$1 to $\~$10,000 million solar masses; such objects may naturally form in the centers of galaxies during their normal dynamical evolution. A small fraction of AGNs, of the radio-loud type (RLAGNs), are somehow able to generate powerful synchrotron-emitting structures (cores, jets, lobes) with sizes ranging from pc to Mpc. A brief summary of AGN observations and theories is given, with an emphasis on RLAGNs. Preliminary results from the imaging of 10000 extragalactic radio sources observed in the MITVLA snapshot survey, and from a new analytic theory of the time-variable power output from Kerr black hole magnetospheres, are presented. To better understand the complex physical processes within the central engines of AGNs, it is important to confront the observations with theories, from the viewpoint of analyzing the time-variable behaviours of AGNs - which have been recorded over both 'short' human ($10^0-10^9\;s$) and 'long' cosmic ($10^{13} - 10^{17}\;s$) timescales. Some key ingredients of a basic mathematical formalism are outlined, which may help in building detailed Monte-Carlo models of evolving AGN populations; such numerical calculations should be potentially important tools for useful interpretation of the large amounts of statistical data now publicly available for both AGNs and RLAGNs.

Not all stars in the Universe are gravitationally bounded to galaxies. Since first discovered in 1951, observations have revealed that a significant fraction of stars fills the space between galaxies in local (low-redshift) galaxy clusters, observed as diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Theoretical models provide mechanisms for the production of intracluster stars as tidally stripped material or debris generated through numerous galaxy interactions during the hierarchical growth of the galaxy cluster. These mechanisms predict that most intracluster stars in local galaxy clusters are long-accumulated material since z~1. However, there is no observational evidence to verify this prediction. Here we report observations of abundant ICL for a massive (above $10^{14}$ solar masses) galaxy cluster at a redshift of z=1.24, when the Universe was 5 billion years old. We found that more than 10 per cent of the total light of the cluster is contributed by the diffuse ICL out to 110 kpc from the center of the cluster, comparable to 5-20 per cent in local, massive galaxy cluster. Furthermore, we found that the colour of the brightest cluster galaxy located in the core of the cluster is consistent with that of the ICL out to 200 kpc. Our results demonstrate that the majority of the intracluster stars present in the local Universe, contrary to most previous theoretical and observational studies, were built up during a short period and early (z>1) in the history of the Virgo-like massive galaxy cluster formation, and might be concurrent with the formation of the brightest cluster galaxy.

본 연구에서는 땅콩나물 뿌리 추출물의 세포보호 작용 및 항산화능에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 땅콩나물 뿌리 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 측정하였다. 에틸아세테이트 분획(5~50 ${\mu}g/mL$)은 농도-의존적으로 세포보호 효과를 나타냈으며, 특히 아글리콘(aglycone) 분획은 5~50 ${\mu}g/mL$의 농도 범위에서 현저한 세포보호 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 땅콩나물 뿌리의 모든 분획은 지질 과산화 연쇄반응의 차단제인 (+)-${\alpha}$-tocopherol보다도 효과적이었다. Luminol 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 땅콩나물 뿌리 추출물의 활성산소 소거활성을 측정하였다. 추출물 중 에틸아세테이트 분획($OSC_{50}$; 1.59 ${\mu}g/mL$)은 강력한 항산화제로 알려진 L-ascorbic acid (1.50 ${\mu}g/mL$)와 비교할 때 유사한 활성산소 소거활성을 보여주었다. 반면에, free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)의 크기는 (+)-${\alpha}$-tocopherol > 80% MeOH 추출물 > 아글리콘 분획 > 에틸아세테이트 분획 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 땅콩나물 뿌리 추출물이 $^1O_2$ 및 다른 활성산소종을 소거하고 활성산소종에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로써 작용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) in a superlattice for high efficiency tandem solar cells were fabricated by magnetron rf sputtering and their characteristics were investigated. SiC/$Si_{1-x}C_x$ superlattices were deposited by co-sputtering of Si and C targets and annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. The Si QDs in Si-rich layers were verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. The size of the QDs was observed to be 3-6 nm through high resolution TEM. Some crystal Si and -SiC peaks were clearly observed in the grazing incident X-ray diffractogram. Raman spectroscopy in the annealed sample showed a sharp peak at $516\;cm^{-1}$ which is an indication of Si QDs. Based on the Raman shift the size of the QD was estimated to be 4-6 nm. The volume fraction of Si crystals was calculated to be about 33%. The change of the FT-IR absorption spectrum from a Gaussian shape to a Lorentzian shape also confirmed the phase transition from an amorphous phase before annealing to a crystalline phase after annealing. The optical absorption coefficient also decreased, but the optical band gap increased from 1.5 eV to 2.1 eV after annealing. Therefore, it is expected that the optical energy gap of the QDs can be controlled with growth and annealing conditions.

본 실험에서는 실제 태양광 발전용 인버터의 냉각에 사용할 2개의 압출형과 2개의 압입형 히트싱크의 방열 성능을 평가하였다. 두 압입형 히트싱크의 핀의 개수는 62개와 98개, 전열면적은 $2.8m^2$, $5.3m^2$이고, 두 압출형 히트싱크의 핀의 개수는 38개와 47개, 전열면적은 $1.8m^2$, $1.9m^2$이다. 압입형 히트싱크의 방열율은 각각 82.7 %, 86.3 %, 압출형 히트싱크의 방열율은 각각 79.6 %, 81.6 %로 측정되었다. 각 히트싱크의 방열성능 평가결과에서 히트싱크의 전열면적이 증가할수록 방열율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 압입형인 S-62 히트싱크는 압출형인 E-47 히트싱크 보다 전열면적이 47.4 % 증가하였음에도 불구하고 방열량은 1.3% 증가하는데 그쳤다. 이는 압출형의 우수한 전열성능 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 압입형인 S-98 히트싱크는 동일한 압입형인 S-62 히트싱크에 비해 전열면적이 89.3 % 증대되었음에도 방열량 증가는 4.4 %에 불과하여 전열면적에 대한 최적화가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

BACKGROUND: A region can be divided into agroclimatic zones based on homogeneity in weather variables that have greatest influence on crop growth and yield. The agro-climatic zone has been used to identify yield variability and limiting factors for crop growth. This study was conducted to classify agro-climatic zones in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil for predicting crop productivity and assessing crop suitability etc. METHODS AND RESULTS: For agro-climatic zonation, monthly mean temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation data from Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, USA) between 1980 and 2010 were collected. Altitude and vegetation fraction of Brazil from Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) were also used to classify them. The criteria of agro-climatic classification were temperature in the hottest month ($30^{\circ}C$), annual precipitation (600 mm and 1000 mm), and altitude (200 m and 500 m). The state of Mato Gross in Brazil was divided into 9 agro-climatic zones according to these criteria by using matrix classification method. CONCLUSION: The results could be useful as information for estimating agro-meteorological characteristics and predicting crop development and crop yield in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil.

We complete the survey for finite-source/point-lens (FSPL) giant-source events in 2016-2019 KMTNet microlensing data. The 30 FSPL events show a clear gap in Einstein radius, 9 𝜇as < 𝜃_E < 26 𝜇as, which is consistent with the gap in Einstein timescales near t_E ~ 0.5 days found by Mróz et al. (2017) in an independent sample of point-source/point-lens (PSPL) events. We demonstrate that the two surveys are consistent. We estimate that the 4 events below this gap are due to a power-law distribution of free-floating planet candidates (FFPs) dN_FFP/d log M = (0.4 ± 0.2) (M/38 M_⊕)^-p/star, with 0.9 ≲ p ≲ 1.2. There are substantially more FFPs than known bound planets, implying that the bound planet power-law index 𝛾 = 0.6 is likely shaped by the ejection process at least as much as by formation. The mass density per decade of FFPs in the Solar neighborhood is of the same order as that of 'Oumuamua-like objects. In particular, if we assume that 'Oumuamua is part of the same process that ejected the FFPs to very wide or unbound orbits, the power-law index is p = 0.89 ± 0.06. If the Solar System's endowment of Neptune-mass objects in Neptune-like orbits is typical, which is consistent with the results of Poleski et al. (2021), then these could account for a substantial fraction of the FFPs in the Neptune-mass range.

산불방사열에너지(fire radiative power)는 산불로부터 방출되는 에너지로서 산불의 연소과정에서 발생하는 온실가스를 추정하기 위한 기초자료로 이용된다. 유럽, 아프리카, 아메리카 지역의 정지궤도 위성센서들은 준실시간의 산불방사열에너지를 산출 및 제공하고 있지만 아시아권에는 아직까지 정지궤도 위성기반의 공식적인 산불방사열에너지 산출물이 제공되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중적외 복사휘도법(mid-infrared radiance method)을 이용하여 히마와리(Himawari-8) 위성 기반의 산불방사열에너지를 최초로 산출하였으며, 산출정확도를 검증하기 위해 인도네시아 수마트라 지역에 대해 Aqua/Terra 위성의 MODIS(moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer) 산불방사열에너지 산출물과의 비교검증을 실시하였다. 이 과정에서 NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index)와 FVC(fraction of vegetation coverage)를 이용하여 중적외 복사휘도법의 중요인자인 지표면 방출률을 지면피복 종류에 따라 계산하였으며, 최적화 실험을 통하여 히마와리 AHI(advanced Himawari imager)의 센서계수 a = 3.11을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 산출된 히마와리 산불방사열에너지는 MODIS를 기준으로 약 20%의 평균절대백분비오차를 나타내었으며 이는 미국과 유럽연합의 정지궤도위성의 산불방사열에너지 검증결과와 유사한 수준의 정확도로 평가된다. 히마와리 산불방사열에너지의 산출정확도는 산불의 크기와 위성관측각에 따라 일부 차이를 보였으나 태양천정각과 토지피복에 따른 영향은 거의 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구는 아시아권의 정지궤도위성 산불방사열에너지 산출을 위한 참고자료로서 활용가치가 있으며 산불방출 온실가스 추정에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Polycrystalline silicon films were deposited using hot wire CVD (HWCVD). The deposition of silicon thin films was approached by the theory of charged clusters (TCC). The TCC states that thin films grow by self-assembly of charged clusters or nanoparticles that have nucleated in the gas phase during the normal thin film process. Negatively charged clusters of a few nanometer in size were captured on a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grid and observed by TEM. The negatively charged clusters are believed to have been generated by ion-induced nucleation on negative ions, which are produced by negative surface ionization on a tungsten hot wire. The electric current on the substrate carried by the negatively charged clusters during deposition was measured to be approximately $-2{\mu}A/cm^2$. Silicon thin films were deposited at different $SiH_4$ and $H_2$ gas mixtures and filament temperatures. The crystalline volume fraction, grain size and the growth rate of the films were measured by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The deposit ion behavior of the si1icon thin films was related to properties of the charged clusters, which were in turn controlled by the process conditions. In order to verify the effect of the charged clusters on the growth behavior, three different electric biases of -200 V, 0 V and +25 V were applied to the substrate during the process, The deposition rate at an applied bias of +25 V was greater than that at 0 V and -200 V, which means that the si1icon film deposition was the result of the deposit ion of charged clusters generated in the gas phase. The working pressures had a large effect on the growth rate dependency on the bias appled to the substrate, which indicates that pressure affects the charging ratio of neutral to negatively charged clusters. These results suggest that polycrystalline silicon thin films with high crystalline volume fraction and large grain size can be produced by control1ing the behavior of the charged clusters generated in the gas phase of a normal HWCVD reactor.
