A long-exposing technique (LET) has been conducted to create nanoscale patterns applicable to diverse micro-devices using two-photon polymerization (TPP). By the weakly-polymerized region via the LET, double-layered embossing patterns can be fabricated simply in a single step. The LET makes possible a voxel and its surrounding to be fully grown into more than 500 nm in lateral size and weakly-polymerized region (WPR), respectively. In the WPR. interconnecting ribs between voxels are generated, and they lead to the creation of double-layered dot patterns. Moreover, by controlling the distance between voxels, various shapes of interconnecting rib can be fabricated when the LET is applied. Various embossing patterns were fabricated to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed technique as a novel nanopatterning technique in TPP.

폴리아크릴로니트릴(PAN) 섬유로 된 제품에 열감응 특성을 부여하기 위하여, PAN을 가수분해하여 카복실기를 생성시키고 이를 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride(EDC)와 N-히드록시석신이미드(NHS)를 촉매로 하여 이소프로필아민(IPA)과 반응시켜 열감응성 고분자인 폴리(N-이소프로필아크릴아미드) (PNIPAAm)로 전환시키는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. PAN을 알칼리 가수분해시킨 후 산 가수분해를 추가하여 카복실기 함량을 늘릴 수 있었다. 폴리아크릴산(PAA)과 IPA와의 아미드화 반응은 촉매인 EDC와 NHS의 양에 의존하며, PAA 단위가 약 53% 이상 PNIPAAm으로 전환되어야 하한임계용액온도(LCST) 거동을 나타냈다.

The global energy storage markets have gravitated to high-energy-density and low cost of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as the predominant system for energy storage such as electric vehicles (EVs). High-Ni layered oxides are considered promising next-generation cathode materials for LIBs owing to their significant advantages in terms of high energy density. However, the practical application of high-Ni cathodes remains challenging, because of their structural and surface instability. Although extensive studies have been conducted to mitigate these inherent instabilities, a two-step process involving the synthesis of the cathode and a dry/wet coating is essential. This study evaluates a one-step β-Li₂SnO₃ layer coating on the surface of LiNi_0.8Co_0.2O₂ (NC82) via the thermal segregation of Sn owing to the solubility limit with respect to the synthesis temperature. The doping, segregation, and phase transition of Sn were systematically revealed by structural analyses. Moreover, surface-engineered 5 mol% Sn-coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.2O₂ (NC82_Sn5%) exhibited superior capacity retention compared to bare NC82 owing to the stable surface coating layer. Thus, the developed one-step coating method is suitable for improving the properties of high-Ni layered oxide cathode materials for application in LIBs.

The smallest ketenimine and hydrogen cyanide N-methylide ($CH_2CNH$ and $CH_2NCH$) are provided from the argon/acetonitrile matrix samples exposed to radiation from laser ablation of transition-metals. New infrared bands are observed in addition to better determination of the vibrational characteristics for the previously reported bands, and the $^{13}C$ substituted isotopomers ($^{13}{CH_2}^{13}CNH$ and $^{13}CH_2N^{13}CH$) are also generated. Density functional frequency calculations and the D and $^{13}C$ isotopic shifts substantiate the vibrational assignments. $CH_2CNH$ is probably produced through single-step conversion of $CH_3CN$, whereas $CH_2NCH$ through two-step conversion via 2H-azirine. Inter-conversions between these two products evidently do not occur during photolysis and annealing.

There is a need for a method that can effectively remove wastewater containing small-sized particles such as TiO₂. In this study, we attempted to remove TiO₂ wastewater using electrocoagulation-electroflotation two-step separation. The TiO₂ wastewater was effectively removed via batch electrocoagulation-electroflotation separation. However, in the batch process, the simultaneous operation of electrocoagulation and electoflotation was challenging due to the high residual turbidity. In the continuous operation, electrocoagulation and electoflotation reactors were kept separate. The turbidity removal in continuous operation was similar to that in the batch process, nevertheless, the residual Al concentration was high, leading to the conclusion that counterterm ensures against residual Al were necessary.

The adsorption and decomposition of NO on a stepped Pt(111) surface have been studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. NO adsorbs molecularly in two different states of the terrace and the step, which are distinguishable in thermal desorption spectra. NO dissociates via a bent species at the step sites on the basis of vibrational spectrum data reported previously. The dissociation of NO is an activation process : the activation energy is estimated to be about 2 kcal/mol. Increase in the NO dissociation with adsorption temperature is explained by a process controlled by diffusion of the dissociated atomic nitrogen from the step to the terrace of the surface. In addition to NO and N2, the desorption peak of N2O is observed. We conclude that the formation of N2O is attributed to surface reaction of NO and N adsorbed on the surface.

A knock detection circuit that is based on the signal of an accelerometer installed on the engine block of a spark ignition automotive engine has a band-pass filter with a certain frequency as a parameter to be calibrated. A new statistical method for the determination of the frequency which is the most suitable for the knock detection in real-time applications is proposed. The method uses both the cylinder pressure and block vibration signals and is divided into two steps. In both steps, a new recursive trigonometric interpolation method that calculates the frequency contents of the signals is applied. The new trigonometric interpolation method developed in this paper improves the performance of the Discrete Fourier Transformation, allowing a flexible choice of the size of the moving window. In the first step, the frequency contents of the cylinder pressure signal are calculated. The knock is detected in the cylinder of the engine cycle for which at least one value of the maximal amplitudes calculated via the trigonometric interpolation method exceeds a threshold value indicating a considerable amount of oscillations in the pressure signal; this cycle is selected as a knocking cycle. In the second step, the frequency analysis is performed on the block vibration signal for the cycles selected in the previous step. The knock detectability, which is an individual cylinder attribute at a certain frequency, is verified via a statistical hypothesis test for testing the equality of two mean values, i.e. mean values of the amplitudes for knocking and non-knocking cycles. Signal-to-noise ratio is associated in this paper with the value of t-statistic. The frequency with the largest signal-to-noise ratio (the value of t-statistic) is chosen for implementation in the engine knock detection circuit.

700nm red emission(3F3longrightarrow3H6) in Tm3+ ion with 800 nm(3H6longrightarrow3H4) excitation via upconversion process has been reported only in host materials which have low phonon energies such as halide crystals. However, we observed 700nm and 480nm(1G4longrightarrow3H6) upconverted emission with 800nm excitation in several oxide glasses which has never reported. With spectroscopic analyses and lifetime measurements of each nergy level of Tm3+ ion doped in various oxide glasses, following mechanisms are suggested. For red upconversion, upconversion mechanism changed with Tm3+ concentration. While direct excitation up to 3F3 level via anti-Stokes excitation was dominated at low concentration, two-step excitation via 3H6longrightarrow3H4 and 3F4longrightarrow3F3 transitions was dominated at high concentration. For blue upconversion, two step excitation mechanism up to 1G4 level was suggested as follows : electrons are exciated up to 3H5 with direct excitation with pumping light up to 3H4 followed by multiphonon relaxation, and then additional reabsorption of pumping light excites electrons up to 1G4.

구리 표면을 대기 중의 산화로부터 보호하기 위해서 아르곤(Ar)과 질소($N_2$) 가스를 이용하는 two-step플라즈마 공정으로 산화 방지층인 구리 질화물 패시베이션 형성을 연구하였다. Ar 플라즈마는 구리 표면에 존재하는 이물질을 제거하는 동시에 표면을 활성화시켜 다음 단계에서 진행되는 $N_2$ 플라즈마 공정 시 질소 원자와 구리의 반응을 촉진시키는 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 two-step 플라즈마 공정 중 Ar 플라즈마 공정 조건이 구리 질화물 패시베이션 형성에 미치는 영향을 실험계획법의 완전요인설계를 통하여 분석하였다. XPS 분석에 의하면 Ar 플라즈마 공정 시 낮은 RF 파워와 압력을 사용할 경우 구리 산화물 피크(peak) 면적은 감소하고, 반대로 구리 질화물(Cu4N, Cu3N) 피크 면적은 증가하였다. Ar 플라즈마 공정 시 구리 질화물 형성의 주 효과는 RF 파워로 나타났으며 플라즈마 공정 변수간 교호작용은 거의 없었다.

We propose an economic and facile method for the preparation of silica nanoparticles through a two-step process utilizing chlorosilane residues. Mixed chlorosilane residue was alcoholized with absolute ethanol as a first step to form tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The TEOS was then utilized as a silicon source to synthesize silica nanoparticles in a sol-gel method. The alcoholysis process was designed and optimized utilizing the Taguchi experimental design method and the yield of TEOS was as high as 82.2% under optimal synthetic conditions. Similarly, the Taguchi method was also utilized to study the effects of synthesis factors on the particle size of silica nanoparticles. The results of statistical analysis indicate that the concentration of ammonia has a greater influence on particle size compared to the mass fractions of TEOS and polyethylene glycol (4.6% and 9.7%). The purity of the silica particles synthesized in our experiments is high, but the specific surface area and pore volume are small.
