Single-well carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have been proposed as a promising candidate for various applications owing to their excellent properties. In particular, their fascinating electrical and mechanical properties could provide a new area for the development of advanced engineering materials. A transparent conductive thin film (TCF) has increased for applications such as liquid crystal displays, touch panels, and flexible displays. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, which have been traditionally used as the TCFs, have a serious obstacle in TCFs applications. SWNTs are the most appropriate materials for conductive films for displays due to their excellent high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. But, a bundle of CNTs has different electrical properties than their individual counterparts. In this work, the fabrication by the spraying process of transparent SWNT films and reduction of its sheet resistance on PET substrates is researched. Arc-discharge SWNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodum dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate at $100^{\circ}C$. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then treated with ionic doping treatment, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. Results, we show that 97 ${\Omega}$/> sheet resistance can be achieved with 81% transmittance at the wavelength of 550 nm. The changes in electrical and optical conductivity of SWNT film before and after ionic doping treatments were discussed.

Al-doped ZnO(AZO) thin films were synthesized using atomid layer deposition(ALD), which acurately controlled the uniform film thickness of the AZO thin films. To investigate the electrical and optical properites of the AZO thin films, AZO films using ALD was controlled to be three different thicknesses (50 nm, 100 nm, and 150 nm). The structural, chemical, electrical, and optical properties of the AZO thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field-emssion scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Hall measurement system, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. As the thickness of the AZO thin films increased, the crystallinity of the AZO thin films gradually increased, and the surface morphology of the AZO thin films were transformed from a porous structure to a dense structure. The average surface roughnesses of the samples using atomic force microscopy were ~3.01 nm, ~2.89 nm, and ~2.44 nm, respectively. As the thickness of the AZO filmsincreased, the surface roughness decreased gradually. These results affect the electrical and optical properties of AZO thin films. Therefore, the thickest AZO thin films with 150 nm exhibited excellent resistivity (${\sim}7.00{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$), high transmittance (~83.2 %), and the best FOM ($5.71{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}^{-1}$). AZO thin films fabricated using ALD may be used as a promising cadidate of TCO materials for optoelectronic applications.

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of an ethyl-substituted tetracyclododecene (8-ethyltetracyclo[$4.4.0.1^{2,5}.1^{7,10}$] dodec-3-ene, Et-TCD) was carried out in the presence of a ternary catalyst system consisting of $WCl_6$, triisobutyl aluminium (iso$Bu_3Al$), and ethanol. The optimal molar ratio of Et-TCD/$WCl_3$/iso-$Bu_3Al$/ethanol was found as 500/1/3/2 at which the yield of ring-opened polymer was 100%. 1-Hexene was shown to be an effective molecular weight controlling agent for ROMP reaction of Et-TCD. The hydrogenation of the ring opened polymer (p-Et-TCD) was conducted successfully using Pd(5 wt %)/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Chemical structures of p-Et-TCD and its hydrogenated product($H_2$-p-Et-TCD) were characterized using 2D NMR techniques ($^1H-^1H$ COSY and $^1H-^{13}C$ HSQC). The changes of physical properties such as thermal stability, glass transition temperature and light transmittance after the hydrogenation were also investigated using TGA, DSC, and UV.

Closely arranged CdSe and Zn doped CdSe vertical nanorod bundles were grown directly on FTO coated glass by using electrodeposition method. Structural analysis by XRD showed the hexagonal phase without any precipitates related to Zn. FE-SEM image showed end capped vertically aligned nanorods arranged closely. From the UV-vis transmittance spectra, band gap energy was found to vary between 1.94 and 1.98 eV due to the incorporation of Zn. Solar cell parameters were obtained by assembling photoelectrochemical cells using CdSe and CdSe:Zn photoanodes, Pt cathode and polysulfide (1M $Na_2S$ + 1M S + 1M NaOH) electrolyte. The efficiency was found to increase from 0.16 to 0.22 upon Zn doping. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) indicate that the charge-transfer resistance on the FTO/CdSe/polysulfide interface was greater than on FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide. Cyclic voltammetry results also indicate that the FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide showed higher activity towards polysulfide redox reaction than that of FTO/CdSe/polysulfide.

This paper presents results and observations obtained from a study of sintering behavior and crystallization in $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ (LAS) Glass by screen printing method. The variable experimental conditions were determined carefully by Thermal-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) for setting the optimum transparent sintering conditions in LAS glass system, $10.5Li_2O-14.7Al_2O_3-58.1SiO_2-16.7B_2O_3(wt%)$, such as glass-ceramics which usually have low crystallization temperatures. Crystallization glasses generated during sintering was observed from diffraction patterns by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), transmittance by UV-Vis spectrometer. Finally, the optimum sintering condition of LAS glass and the relation between factors and results in several sintering conditions were given by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). From this study, we confirmed that crystallization interrupted densification during glass powder sintering. Furthermore, we observed that main effect of factors in glass powder sintering with concurrent crystallization depended on experimental conditions from main effects plot by MINTAB-14.

In nowadays, the infrared optics is frequently employed to various fields such as military, aerospace, industry and medical. To develop the infrared optics, special glasses which can transmit infrared wave are required. Ge(Germanium), Si(silicon), and fluoride glasses are typically used for material of the infrared optics. Compared with Ge and Si glasses, fluoride glasses have high transmittance in infrared wavelength range. Additionally, UV(ultraviolet) and visible light can be transmitted through fluoride glasses. There characteristics of fluoride glasses makes it possible to evaluate optical performance with generally used visible testing equipment. In this paper, we used design of experiment to find ultra precision machining characteristic of Ge and fluoride glasses and optimized machining process to obtain required form accuracy of PV(Peak to Valley) $0.2\;{\mu}m$.

ZnO 박막(thin film)은 씨앗층(seed layer)의 종류, 두께, 증착 조건 등에 따라 그 특성이 달라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 씨앗층의 종류에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 알아 보기 위해, 졸겔 스핀코팅(sol-gel spin-coating) 방법으로 4가지 종류의 씨앗층(Al-ZnO, Co-ZnO, Cu-ZnO, In-ZnO) 위에 ZnO 박막을 성장 한 후 성장된 ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, UV-visible spectrometer를 통해 조사하였다. ZnO 박막의 표면구조는 씨앗층의 종류에 따라 변하였으며, 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막들의 c축 배향성과 결정성이 씨앗층 없이 성장된 ZnO 박막보다 더 우수하게 나타났다. 투과도(transmittance) 측정값을 통해 계산된 광학적 밴드갭(optical bandgap)과 Urbach 에너지는 씨앗층에 따라 다른 값을 나타내었다. 광학적 밴드갭은 Al-ZnO 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, Urbach 에너지는 Co-ZnO 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막에서 가장 낮았다. 따라서 ZnO박막 성장 시 용도에 맞게 적절한 씨앗층을 사용하는 것은 소자의 성능을 향상시키는데 매우 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다.

We explain a method to fabricate multi-layered transparent conductive films (TCF) using graphene oxide (GO), copper powder and polyurethane (PU) solution. The flexible graphene nanosheets (GNSs) serve as nanoscale connection between conductive copper nanoparticles (CuNps) and PU nanofibers, resulting in a highly flexible TCF. To fabricate conductive films with high transmittance, polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were used for a conductive network consisting of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs). In this experiment, copper powder and graphene oxides were mixed in deionized water with the ultrasonication for 2 h. NaBH4 solution is used as a reduction agents of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs) under a nitrogen atmosphere in the oil bath at 100% for 24 h to mixed. The purified and dispersed CuNp-GNS were obtained in deionized water, and diluted to a 10wt.% based on the contents of GNSs. Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers on a PET substrate were formed by electrospinning method. PET slides coated with the PU nanofibers were immersed into CuNp-GNS solution for several second, rinsed briefly in deionized water, and dried to obtain self-assembled CuNp-GNS/PU films. The morphology of the multi-layered films were characterized with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Hitachi S-4700) and atomic force microscope (AFM, PSIA XE-100). The electrical property was analysed by the I-V measurement system and the optical property was measured by the UV/VIS spectroscopy.

현재 자동차 분야에서 차량 경량화의 한 수단으로 자동차용 유리를 고강도 투명 플라스틱 소재인 Polycarbonate(PC)로 대체하고자 하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, PC의 낮은 내마모 특성과 자외선에 의한 열화 및 변색 현상은 해결하여야 할 문제점으로 지적되고 있으며, 에너지 소비 저감을 위하여 적외선 영역 반사율(reflectance)이 높은 저방사(low emissivity) 특성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, ICP-assisted reactive magnetron sputtering 장비를 이용하여 투과율(transmittance)이 확보되고, 고경도 특성을 갖는 Al-Si-N와 300 nm 파장 이하의 자외선 차단 특성이 있는 SiN:H 그리고 저방사 특성을 위해 Al을 증착하였고, 박막의 증착 순서는 SiN:H 박막을 가장 아래에 증착하고 그 위에 Al/Al-Si-N 박막을 다층으로 형성하였다. 박막의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction)를 이용하여 분석하였다. Knoop ${\mu}$-hardness tester와 Taber tester를 이용하여 경도 및 내마모 특성을 분석하였다. 제작된 샘플의 Al-Si-N 박막 경도는 Si 비율에 따라 다른 경도 특성을 갖는데, 실제 Si/(Al+Si) 비율이 24%에서 최대 31 GPa의 경도 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. UV-Vis Spectrometer를 이용하여 250 nm~700 nm 파장의 투과율을 측정하였고, 자외선 영역의 경우 SiN:H 박막에 의해 300 nm 이하의 파장에서 2% 이하의 투과율을 확인하였다. 그리고 FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 $2.5{\mu}m{\sim}15{\mu}m$ 파장의 반사율을 이용하여 방사율을 측정하였는데, 3*(Al/Al-Si-N) 구조의 다층 박막의 경우 방사율은 0.27로 측정되었다.
