Biodegradable Poly(butylene succinate), PBS, was photooxidized by UV/ozone irradiation and the effect of UV energy on the surface properties of the UV-irradiated PBS film were investigated by the measurement of reflectance, surface roughness, contact angles, chemical composition, and zeta potential. With increasing UV energy, reflectance decreased in the visible and ultraviolet regions particularly at the wavelength of 380nm. The irradiation produced nano-scale surface roughness including the maximum peak-to-valley roughness increased from 106nm for the unirradiated sample to 221nm at the UV energy of $10.6J/cm^2$. The improved hydrophilicity was due to the higher $O_{1s}/C_{1s}$ resulting from the introduction of polar groups such as C-O and C=O bonds. The surface energy of the PBS increased from $42.1mJ/m^2$ for the unirradiated PBS to $56.8mJ/m^2$ at the irradiation of $21.2J/cm^2$. The zeta potentials of the UV-irradiated PBS also decreased proportionally with increasing UV energy. The cationic dyeability of the PBS increased accordingly resulting from the improved affinity of the irradiated PBS surfaces containing photochemically introduced anionic and dipolar dyeing sites.

Self-patterning of thin films using photosensitive sol solution has advantages such as simple manufacturing process compared to photoresist/dry etching process. In this study,$La_{0.5}SR_{0.5}CoO_3$(LSCO) thin films as an electrode material for ferroelectric memories have been prepared by spin coating method using photosensitive sol solution. La-2methoxyethoxide, Sr-ethoxide, Co-2methoxyethoxide were used as starting materials. As UV exposure time to the LSCO gel thin film increased, the UV absorption peak intensity of metal${beta}$-diketonate decreased due to reduced solubility by M(metal)-O-M bond formation. Solubility difference by UV irradiation on LSCO gel thin film allows to obtain a fine patterning of thin film. The LSCO thin films annealed over$680{\circ}C$ in air showed perovskite phase and the lowest resistivity$(4{ imes}10^{-3}{Omega}cm)$ of the thin films were obtained by annealing at$740{\circ}C$.

The degradation behavior of berberine is examined using GC-MS to select the fingerprint products that can be used to identify berberine dye in badly faded archaeological textiles. A total of $100^{\circ}C$ thermal and $H_2O_2/UV/O_2$ degradation systems were used to degrade berberine chloride 0.1% solution up to 408 hours. The samples were analyzed using the GC-MS. Dihydroberberine, 2-pteridinamine, 6,7-dimethyl-N-[(trimethylsilyl) oxy]-, and 8-methoxy-11-[3-methylbutyl]-11H-indolo[3,2-c]-quinoline, 5-oxide were detected as the major products of thermal degradation and identified as the fingerprint products for berberine dye at the early stage of degradation. Isobenzofuran-1,3-dione,4,5-dimethoxy-, 9H-fluorene,3,6-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-,1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5(6H)-one,7,8-dihydro-, and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole were detected as the major products generated by the $H_2O_2/UV/O_2$ degradation and identified as the fingerprint products for berberine dye under severe degradation conditions.

In this study, a series of $LiNbO_{3}$ crystals with different [Li]/[Nb] ratios, congruent $LiNbO_{3}$ crystals with doped Mg and with Mg and codoped with Mn were grown by the Czocharalski method. These were investigated by UV and IR spectrophotometry. Stoichiometry dependences of the UV absorption edge and the $OH^{-}$ absorption spectra were studied with different [Li]/[Nb] ratios. The position of the UV absorption edge adn the shape and peak point of the $OH^{-}$ absorption spectra changed monotonously upto a critical concentration of Mg ions. The mechanism of the incorporation of Mg ions changes at this concentration. The decomposition of the $OH^{-}$ absorption spectra using a Gaussian lineshape function showed that in Li-deficient crystals the absorption spectra consist of five components in contrast to more or less perfect stoichiometric crystals which reveal to three components. On the basis of these results, the intrinsic and the extrinsic defect structure models in $LiNbO_{3}$ crystals were examined. The behaviour of $\nu$ (OH) reflects the defect structure and supports the Li-site vacancy model as the intrinsic defect structure model and the corresponding extrinsic defect model. A brief discussion is also given of the behaviour of $\nu$ (OH) in $LiNbO_{3}$ crystals simultaneously doped with several kinds of impurity.

In this study we investigated the electrical properties of ZnO-based MOS capacitor with $HfO_2$ as the gate dielectric. MIM capacitor, which uses either $HfO_2$ or $Al_2O_3$ as the dielectric layer, is also studied to understand the dependency of the dielectrics on the preparation conditions. It was found that thinner $HfO_2$ films yield better electrical properties, namely lower leakage current and higher breakdown electric field. These properties were observed to deteriorate when subsequently annealed. Capacitance in the depletion region of MOS capacitor was found to increase with UV ozone treatment time up to 60min. However, when the treatment time was extended to 120min, the trend is reversed. The 'threshold voltage' was also observed to positively shift with UV ozone treatment time up to 60min. The shift apparently saturated for longer treatment.

Silver (Ag)는 높은 반사율을 가지고 있어 Top-Emission Organic Light Emitting Diode (T-OLED)의 반사전극으로 사용하기 적합하지만 일함수가 낮은 단점 (4.3 eV)을 가지고 있다. 이런 낮은 일함수를 증가시키기 위하여 Ag 박막 표면을 산화시켜 일함수를 증가시키기 위한 연구가 진행중에 있으며, 이 연구에서는 UV로 $O_3$을 발생시켜 Ag 박막 표면을 산화시키기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 특히, Ag 박막 표면의 일함수 변화를 측정하기 위하여 SPM (Scanning Probe Microscopy)의 KPFM (Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy) mode를 적용하여 nano 영역에서의 일함수 변화를 surface potential로 측정하여 UV 표면 산화에 의한 표면 일함수 형상을 확인하였다. Ag 박막은 rf magnetron sputter를 사용하여, Si 기판위에 300nm 두께로 증착시켰다. 이후 $O_3$ 발생되는 UV 램프로 Ag 박막 표면 30초 간격으로 최대 5분간 산화시켰으며, 이후 KPFM mode를 사용하여 산화 시간에 따른 Ag 박막 표면의 potential 변화를 측정하였다. 0~3분간 산화된 Ag 박막 표면의 potential은 약 6 mV로 일정하였으나 3분 이후 최대 110 mV까지 급격하게 변화하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Ag 박막 표면의 RMS roughness는 UV 산화처리 전0.7 nm였으나, potential이 급격하게 증가하는 시점인 3분 이후 2.83 nm로 약 400% 이상 증가하였다. 이를 통해 $O_3$ 발생 UV 램프로 산화된 Ag 박막의 표면 물성은 처리 시간에 따라 급격히 변하는 것을 확인하였다.

Due to its efficient red emission, $Eu^{3+}$ ion has been doped in various host materials. $GdCa_4B_3O_{10}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor for red emission has been prepared by solid state reaction. Photoluminescence properties for the phosphor under UV and VUV excitation were investigated. The $GdCa_4B_3O_{10}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor under both excitation conditions shows typical red emission spectrum centered at 611 nm with several weak peaks due to energy transfer from $^5D_O\;to\;^7F_J(J=1,2,3,4)$ of $Eu^{3+}$ ion. On the other hand, the activator content exhibiting the concentration quenching under UV and VUV irradiation is 10 mole% and 2.5 mole%, respectively.

All solid-state UV lasers provide efficient, clean and semipermanent light sources for various applications, such as eye surgery, microchip lithography. $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ (CLBO) is one of the most suitable crystals for UV generation because of its small walk-off, large effective nonlinear susceptibility in UV region and high damage threshold. We produced fourth (266 nm) and fifth (213 nm) harmonic generation of an Nd：YAG laser (1064 nm) with $LiB_{3}O_{5}$ as a second harmonic generation medium and CLBO as a fourth harmonic and fifth harmonic mediums.

$CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.4)$ solid solution photocatalysts were synthesized by iron doping during the conventional solid state reaction at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 5 h and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, morphological analysis. We found that $CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ samples not only absorb UV but also the visible light photons. This is because the Fe substitution at Ti-site in $CaTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ lattice induces the band transition from Fe3d to the Fe3d + Ti3d hybrid orbital. The photocatalytic activity of Fe doped $CaTiO_3$ samples for hydrogen production under UV light irradiation decreased with the increase in the Fe concentration. There exists an optimized concentration of iron in $CaTiO_3$, which yields a maximum photocatalytic activity under visible light ($\lambda\geq420nm$) photons.

The objective of this study is to delineate removal efficiency of the MTBE in solution by $TiO_2$ photocatalytic degradation as a function of the following different experimental conditions: Initial concentration of MTBE, air flow rate in solution, $H_2O_2$ dosage and pH of the solution. Photodegradation rate was increased with decreasing initial concentration of MTBE. The removal efficiency was 82% after 180 min in the case of MTBE concentration of 100 mg/L but 100% after 180 min in the case of 20 mg/L. Removal efficiency was increased with increasing pH, $H_2O_2$ dosage and air flow rate in solution.
