The effect of precursor concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of $TiO_2$nano-flowers was investigated in this study. An increase in crystallite size was observed with an increase in the concentration of the precursor (titanium butoxide). The FE-SEM micrographs of the as-prepared samples show a three-dimensional flower-like morphology. The flowers consist of several nanorods coming out of a single core and have very sharp edges. Also, the variation in the aspect ratio of the nanostructure was observed with the concentration of the precursor. The photocatalytic properties of the samples show that the sample that has a high aspect ratio (AR~9) has a much better photocatalytic activity compared to the nano-crystal with a low aspect ratio (AR~6.1). It is believed that the excellent photocatalytic performance and short time synthesis of $TiO_2$nano-flowers using the microwave hydrothermal method can have potential applications in the field of photocatalysis.

Nanopatterning is one of the essential nanotechnologies to fabricate electronic and energy nanodevices. Therefore, many research group members made a lot of efforts to develop simple and useful nanopatterning methods to obtain highly ordered nanostructures with functionality. In this study, in order to achieve pattern formation of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructures, we introduce a simple and useful patterning method (nano-transfer printing (n-TP) process) consisting of various linewidths for diverse materials. Pt and $WO_3$ hybrid line structures were successfully stacked on a flexible polyimide substrate as a multi-layered hybrid 3D pattern of Pt/WO3/Pt with line-widths of $1{\mu}m$, $1{\mu}m$ and 250 nm, respectively. This simple approach suggests how to fabricate multiscale hybrid nanostructures composed of multiple materials. In addition, functional hybrid nanostructures can be expected to be applicable to various next-generation electronic devices, such as nonvolatile memories and energy harvesters.

Dynamic behavior of piezoelectric ZnO nanowires is investigated using finite element analyses (FEA) on FE models constructed based on previous experimental observations in which nanowires having aspect ratios of 1:2. 1:31, and 1:57 are obtained during a hydrothermal process. Modal analyses predict that nanowires will vibrate in lateral bending, uniaxial elongation/contraction, and twisting (torsion), respectively, for the three ratios. The natural frequency for each vibration mode varies depending on the aspect ratio, while the frequencies are in a range of 7.233 MHz to 3.393 GHz. Subsequent transient response analysis predicts that the nanowires will behave quasi-statically within the load frequency range below 10 MHz, implying that the ZnO nanowires have application potentials as structural members of electromechanical systems including nano piezoelectric generators and piezoelectric dynamic strain sensors. When an electric pulse signal is simulated, it is predicted that the nanowires will deform in accordance with the electric signal. Once the electric signal is removed, the nanowires exhibit a specific resonance-like vibration, with the frequency synchronized to the signal frequency. These predictions indicate that the nanowires have additional application potential as piezoelectric actuators and resonators.

Multifunctional structures with two kinds of materials have been intensively investigated in order to improve their electrical characteristic with two functions simultaneously. However, the research regarding of multifunctional ceramic sensor is still in a preliminary stage and how to integrate them with low-cost and high-yield mass production process remains a challenge issue. In this study, we fabricated the multifunctional ceramic sensor composed of temperature and gas sensors. Moreover, we investigated the CO sensing properties of three dimensional nanostuctured $Nb_2O_5$ thin film gas sensors fabricated with silica ($SiO_2$ nanosphere (${\O}$= 750 nm). Compared to plain films, the nanostructured films show enhanced gas sensing of greater sensitivity and a faster response. This result reveals that significantly increased sensitivity is an increase in the effective surface area for the adsorption of gas molecules.

다른 형태의 ZnO는 형태에 따라 각각의 활용분야에 사용할 수 있다. 다양한 형태의 ZnO 구조체(structures)는 촉매를 사용하지 않는 열 기화법(thermal evaporation process)으로 합성되었다. ZnO 구조체의 형태들은 같은 실험 공정에서 기판과 소스간의 거리에 의존하였으며, 그 결과 합성물의 형태는 hollow, cage, star 이었다. ZnO 구조체의 형상과 결정성을 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 X선 회절분석(XRD)으로 각기 평가했다. 본 연구에서는 어떤 종류의 성장 요소가 최종 구조체의 형태에 관여하는지를 입증한다.

In this work, Fe-Pd alloy films have been electrodeposited on different substrates using an electrolyte containing $[Pd(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ (0.02 M) and $[Fe-Citrate]^{2+}$ (0.2 M). The influences of substrate and overpotential on chemical composition, nucleation and growth kinetics as well as the electrodeposited films morphology have been investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), current-time transients, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. In all substrates - brass, copper and sputtered fluorine doped tin oxide on glass (FTO/glass) - Fe content of the electrodeposited alloys increases by increasing the overpotential. Also the cathodic current efficiency is low due to high rate of $H_2$ co-reduction. Regarding the chronoamperometry current-time transients, it has been demonstrated that the nucleation mechanism is instantaneous with a typical three dimensional (3D) diffusion-controlled growth in the case of brass and copper substrates; while for FTO, the growth mode changes to 3D progressive. At a constant overpotential, the calculated number of active nucleation sites for metallic substrates is much higher than that of FTO/glass; however by increasing the overpotential, the number of active nucleation sites increases. The SEM micrographs as well as the XRD patterns reveal the formation of Fe-Pd alloy thin films with nanostructure arrangement and ultra-fine grains.

We report the fabrication and electroluminescent characteristics of GaN/InxGa1-xN microdonut-shaped light-emitting diode (LED) microarrays as variable-color emitters. The diameter, width, height, and period of the GaN microdonuts were controlled by their growth parameters and the geometrical factors of the growth mask patterns. For the fabrication of microdonut LEDs, p-GaN/p-AlxGa1-xN/u-GaN/u-InxGa1-xN heteroepitaxial layers were coated on the entire surface of n-GaN microdonuts. The microdonut LED arrays showed strong light emission, which could be seen with the unaided eye under normal room illumination. Additionally, magnified optical images of microdonut LED arrays exhibited microdonut-shaped light emissions having spatially resolved blue and green colors. Their electroluminescence spectra had two dominant peaks at 460 and 560 nm. With increasing applied voltage, the intensity of the blue emission peak increased much faster than that of the green emission peak, indicating that the color of the LEDs is tunable. We also demonstrated that EL spectra of the devices could be controlled by changing the size of microdonut LEDs. What we want to emphasize here with the microdonut LEDs is that they have additional inner sidewall facets which did not exist for other typical three-dimensional structures including nanopyramids and nanorods, and that InxGa1-xN single quantum well formed on the inner sidewall facets had unique thickness and chemical composition, which generated additional EL color. The origin of the electroluminescence peaks was investigated by structural characterizations and chemical analyses.

이 연구에서 우리는 3차원 계층적 나노구조화된 유/무기 복합 표면을 가진 소수성 코팅/필름을 제조하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 근접장 나노패터닝(PnP)이라 불리는 첨단 포토리소그래피 기술을 통해 에폭시 기반의 대면적 3차원 정렬 나노다공성 템플릿을 준비하였다. 이후, 딥 코팅을 통해 평균 직경이 22 nm인 실리카 나노입자를 템플릿에 조밀하게 함침시켜 계층적 구조화된 표면을 구현하였다. 표면에 공존하는 마이크로 및 나노 스케일 거칠기로 인해, 제조된 복합 필름은 대조군에 비해 물에 대한 높은 접촉각(>137도)을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 개발된 소재 및 공정은 전통적인 코팅/필름 분야에서 다양하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

3차원적 선택적 결정 성장 방법에 의해 GaN stripe 구조의 꼭지점 부분에만 GaN 나노로드를 성장하였다. GaN stripe의 꼭지점 부분의 $SiO_2$ 만을 최적화된 포토리소그라피 공정을 이용하여 제거하고 이를 선택적 결정 성장을 위한 마스크로 사용하였다. $SiO_2$가 제거된 꼭지점 부근에만 Au 금속을 증착하고, metal organic vapor phase epitaxy(MOVPE) 방법에 의해 GaN stripe의 꼭지점 부분에만 GaN 나노로드의 선택적 성장을 실시하였다. GaN 나노로드의 형상과 크기는 결정 성장 온도와 III족 원료의 공급량에 의해 변화가 있음을 확인하였다. Stripe 꼭지점에 성장된 GaN 나노로드는 단면이 삼각형형태를 가지고 있으며 끝으로 갈수록 점점 폭이 좁아지는 테이퍼 형상을 가지며 성장되었다. TEM 관측 결과, 매우 좁은 영역에서만 선택적 결정 성장이 이루어졌기 때문에 GaN 나노로드에서 관통전위(threading dislocations)는 거의 관찰되지 않음을 확인하였다. 선택성장이 시작되는 부분의 결정면과 GaN 나노로드의 성장방향의 결정면 방향의 차이에 기인하는 적층결함(stacking faults)들이 GaN 나노로드의 중심영역에서 생성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
