Double molybdate $NaGd_{1-x}(MoO_4)_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ phosphors with proper doping concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ($x=Ho^{3+}+Yb^{3+}$, $Ho^{3+}=0$ and 0.05, and $Yb^{3+}=0$, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, and 0.50) were successfully synthesized using the microwave sol-gel method. Well-crystallized particles formed after heat-treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ for 16 h showed fine and homogeneous morphologies with particle sizes of $1{\sim}3{\mu}m$. The spectroscopic properties were examined using photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy. Under excitation at 980 nm, the upconversion doped samples exhibited strong yellow emissions, from the combination of strong emission bands at 545 nm and 655 nm in the green and red spectral regions, respectively. The strong 545 nm emission band in the green region corresponded to the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in the $Ho^{3+}$ ions, while the strong 655 nm band in the red region appeared because of the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in the $Ho^{3+}$ ions. The pump power dependence and the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity of the upconversion emission intensity were evaluated in detail.

Well-crystallized particles formed after heat-treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 16 h showed a fine and homogeneous morphology with particle sizes of $3-5{\mu}m$. The optical properties were examined using photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy. Under excitation at 980 nm, the UC intensities of the doped samples exhibited strong yellow emissions based on the combination of strong emission bands at 545-nm and 655-nm emission bands in green and red spectral regions, respectively. The strong 545-nm emission band in the green region corresponds to the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in $Ho^{3+}$ ions, while the strong emission 655-nm band in the red region appears due to the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition in $Ho^{3+}$ ions. Pump power dependence and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity of the upconversion emission intensity were evaluated in detail.

Propylene oxide (PPO)를 gelation agent로 한 졸-겔법으로 입자가 균일하고 자기적 특성이 우수한 $MO{\cdot}Fe_{12}O_{18}$ (M/Ba and Sr)의 구조식을 가지는 M-type hexagonal ferrite를 제조하였다. 본 방법으로 얻은 졸-겔용액은 매우 안정적인 분산상태를 보이며, $Fe^{3+}$의 겔화가 진행되고, 생성된 $Fe_2O_3$의 표면에서 $Ba^{2+}$ 또는 $Sr^{2+}$의 겔화가 진행되는 것으로 설명될 수 있어서, +3가 이하의 금속이라도 +3가 이상의 금속 존재 하에는 겔화가 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 기존 방법과 비교하여 값싼 원료를 사용하며, 반응 시간도 1 min 이내로 짧아지는 장점이 있다. 본 제조법으로 얻어진 분말은 기왕에 발표된 문헌 값과 비교하면 $150^{\circ}C$ 이상 낮은 열처리 온도에서 최고의 자기적 특성을 나타냈으며, 향상된 자기적 특성을 보였다. Sr-ferrite의 경우 최대포화자화 값 74.4 emu/g, 보자력 값 6198 Oe을, Ba-ferrite의 경우도 최대포화자화 값 68.1 emu/g, 보자력 값 5155 Oe을 보였다. 이들은 기존에 발표된 문헌 값과 비교하면 각각 10%와 5% 이상 증가된 보자력 값을 나타내어, 고밀도 자기기록재료에 적합함을 확인하였다. 제조된 분말은 1차 건조 분말의 경우 3~5 nm의 입자들이 응집된 50 nm 정도의 구형입자가 생성되고, 열처리 후에는 500 nm 정도의 고른 크기를 가진 육각판상형 입자가 생성된다.

A $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor powder with stuffed tridymite structure was synthesized by glycine-nitrate combustion method. The luminescence, formation process and microstructure of the phosphor powder were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The XRD patterns show that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was an amorphous phase. However, a crystalline $SrAl_2O_4 $ phase was formed by calcining at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4h. From the SEM analysis, also, it was found that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was in irregular porous particles of about 50 ${\mu}m$, while the calcined phosphor was aggregated in spherical particles with radius of about 0.5 ${\mu}m$. The emission spectrum of as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor did not appear, due to the amorphous phase. However, the emission spectrum of the calcined phosphor was observed at 520 nm (2.384eV); it showed green emission peaking, in the range of 450~650 nm. The excitation spectrum of the $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor exhibits a maximum peak intensity at 360 nm (3.44eV) in the range of 250~480 nm. After the removal of the pulse Xe-lamp excitation (360 nm), also, the decay time for the emission spectrum was very slow, which shows the excellent longphosphorescent property of the phosphor, although the decay time decreased exponentially.

본 논문에서는 광파장 이하의 주기를 갖는 금속 격자형 가시광선 대역 컬러필터를 제안하고 구현하였다. 이 소자는 쿼츠 기판 위의 알루미늄 금속 층에 원형 홀이 2차원으로 배열된 격자로 구성되어 있다. 격자의 구조 파라미터 즉, 금속 박막 두께, 격자 주기, 홀 크기, 홀 구성 물질의 굴절률 등이 필터의 전달특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 소자를 설계하였다. 특히, 격자 홀을 구성하는 물질의 굴절률을 조절함으로써 필터의 특성을 최적화하고자 시도하였다. 본 논문에서는 전자빔 직접 기록 방식을 도입하여 두 개의 소자를 구현하였는데, 이들의 설계 파라미터를 살펴보면 격자 높이는 50 nm로 동일하며, 주기는 각각 340 nm와 260 nm였다. 측정된 결과를 살펴보면, 주기가 $\Lambda=340nm$인 소자의 경우에 중심파장은 680 nm이고 최대 투과율은 57%였으며, 주기가 $\Lambda=260nm$인 소자의 경우에는 중심파장이 550 nm이고 최대 투과율을 50%였다. 특히, 계산 결과를 통하여 격자 홀을 기판과 동일한 굴절률과 동일한 물질로 채움으로써 투과효율이 15% 이상 증가함을 확인하였다.

We have studied on the microwave characteristics for the meander type inductors on the MgO substrates and $Al_2O_3$ substrates by employing 3-D high frequency simulation, respectively. Proper designs of meander type inductors were proposed and confirmed through the high frequency simulations, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 turns meander type inductors have been choose to analyze the electrical properties for the microwave passive component applications. The Al top electrodes have 282 nm length, 45 nm width, 100 nm thickness and 15 nm gap. The simulations were carried out from 50 MHz to 30 GHz, Frequency dependent inductances and quality factor were calculated by employing the equivalent circuit model of meander type inductors. The self resonances frequency of meander type inductor were shifted from high frequency to low frequency range as the number of the turn of inductors was increased. From the microwave simulations, the inductances and quality factors of meander type inductors were extracted through the scattering parameter.

Electron-beam lithography (EBL) process is a versatile tool for a fabrication of nanostructures, nano-gap electrodes or molecular arrays and its application to nano-device. However, it is not appropriate for the fabrication of sub-5 nm features and high-aspect-ratio nanostructures due to the limitation of EBL resolution. In this study, the precision assembly and alignment of DNA molecule was demonstrated using sub-5 nm nanostructures formed by a combination of conventional electron-beam lithography (EBL) and plasma ashing processes. The ma-N2401 (EBL-negative tone resist) nanostructures were patterned by EBL process at a dose of $200\;{\mu}C/cm2$ with 25 kV and then were ashed by a chemical dry etcher at microwave (${\mu}W$) power of 50 W. We confirmed that this method was useful for sub-5 nm patterning of high-aspect-ratio nanostructures. In addition, we also utilized the surface-patterning technique to create the molecular pattern comprised 3-(aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APS) as adhesion layer and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) as passivation layer. DNA-templated gold nanoparticle chain was attached only on the sub-5 nm APS region defined by the amine groups, but not on surface of the OTS region. We were able to obtain DNA molecules aligned selectively on a SiO2/Si substrate using atomic force microscopy (AFM).

150-nm-thick In-Zn-Tin-Oxide (IZTO) films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering after a 10 to 50-nm-thick $SiO_2$ buffer layer was deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The electrical, structural, and optical properties of the IZTO/$SiO_2$/PET films were analyzed with respect to the thickness of the $SiO_2$ buffer layer. The mechanical properties were outstanding at a $SiO_2$ thickness of 50 nm, with a resistivity of $1.45{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$, carrier concentration of $8.84{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, hall mobility of $4.88cm^2/Vs$, and average IZTO surface roughness of 12.64 nm. Also, the transmittances were higher than 80%, and the structure of the IZTO films were amorphous, regardless of the $SiO_2$ thickness. These results indicate that these films are suitable for use as a transparent conductive oxide for transparency display devices.

$In_2O_3$ nanowires were coated with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles to investigate the improvement of ethanol gas sensing performance compared with as-synthesized $In_2O_3$ nanowires. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the nanowires synthesized by VLS mechanism had diameters and lengths of approximately 50-100 nm and a few micrometers, respectively. $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal method was in the size range of a few to a few tens nm. As-synthesized and $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors exhibited responses of 1.96% and 4.57%, respectively for the ethanol gas concentration of 200 ppm at $200^{\circ}C$. The underlying mechanism for the improved responses of $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors is discussed.
