We propose a new reliable, fast, and low cost identification method for similarly looking 0.3ct vivid yellow color of natural, HPHT treated, and synthesized diamonds. Conventional optical microscopy as well as low temperature PL(photoluminescence), FT-IR, UV-VIS-NIR, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM) characterization were executed. We could not distinguish the natural diamonds from the treated or the synthesized stones with an optical microscopy, PL, FT-IR, and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. However, we could identify the treated diamond with micro-Raman spectroscopy due to unique $1440cm^{-1}$ peak appearance. VSM revealed easily the synthesized diamond because of its ferromagnetic behavior. Our preliminary propose on employing the Micro-Raman spectroscopy and VSM might be suitable for identification of the similar looking vivid yellow colored diamonds.

태양열은 투과되고 인체 및 내부 열원에서 발생하는 적외선은 내부로 반사시키는 산화인듐 주석막은 수동 태양열 포집기로 사용되어 에너지 절약용 창유리로 활용된다. 졸겔 담금 코팅으로 제조된 산화 인듐 주석막의 선택 흡수 투과 특성의 막의 두께, 열처리 조건, 기판의 영향을 UV-VIS-IR spectroscopy를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 졸겔 담금 코팅막은 $500^{\circ}C$, 환원 분위기에서 열처리하면 고유의 산화 인듐 주석막이 형성된다. 알칼리 이온 확산 방지막은 $SiO_2-ZrO_2$막은 태양에너지 투과 효율을 증진시킨다. $SiO_2-ZrO_2/ITO$막은 태양 에너지의 투과를 유지시키고 파장 2700 nm 이상에서의 내부열 방출을 억제하여 에너지 절약 특성을 갖는다.

We propose an evaluation method of the relative content of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in SWCNT soot synthesized by arc discharge using UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy. In this method, we consider the absorbance of semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs together to calculate the relative content of SWCNTs with respect to a highly purified reference. Our method provides the more reliable and realistic evaluation of SWCNT content with respect to the whole carbonaceous content than the previously reported method.

본 연구에서는 바나듐 산화물($VO_2$)과 텅스텐이 도핑된 바나듐 산화물(W-$VO_2$) 분말을 바나듐 산화물($V_2O_5$)과 옥살산수화물로부터 수열합성과 하소공정을 통하여 성공적으로 제조하였다. 시료들의 결정구조와 열변색 특성들은 FE-SEM, XRD, XPS, DSC 및 UV-Vis-NIR 분광기를 이용하여 분석하였다. W-$VO_2$ 시료에 W의 도핑량을 증가시키면, W-$VO_2$ 시료의 상전이 온도가 $70^{\circ}C$에서 $42^{\circ}C$로 낮아지는 경향이 있었다. 또한, W-$VO_2$ 시료를 상전이 온도 이상으로 가열시키면 UV-Vis-NIR 곡선이 가시광 영역에서는 변하지 않고 NIR 영역에서는 낮은 투과도 방향으로 이동하는 경향이 있었다.

Recently, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) synthetic diamonds have been introduced to the jewelry gem market, as CVD technology has been making considerable advances. Unfortunately, CVD diamonds are not distinguishable from natural diamonds when using the conventional gemological characterization method. Therefore, we need to develop a new identification method that is non-destructive, fast, and inexpensive. In our study, we employed optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, including Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR), UV-VIS-NIR, photoluminescence (PL), micro Raman, and cathodoluminescent (CL) spectroscopy, to determine the differences between a natural diamond (0.30 cts) and a CVD diamond (0.43 cts). The identification of a CVD diamond was difficult when using standard gemological techniques, UV-VIS-NIR, or micro-Raman spectroscopy. However, a CVD diamond could be identified using a FT-IR by the Type II peaks. In addition, we identified a CVD diamond conclusively with the uneven UV fluorescent local bands, additional satellite PL peaks, longer phosphorescence life time, and uneven streaks in the CL images. Our results suggest that using FT-IR combined with UV fluorescent images, PL, and CL analysis might be an appropriate method for identifying CVD diamonds.

본 연구는 아가로스 겔을 이용하여 금속성과 반도체성 단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 분리실험을 수행하였다. 아가로스의 농도, 분산제인 SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)의 농도, 아가로스 용액의 pH에 따른 단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 분리에 대한 영향을 고찰하였다. UV-vis-NIR 분광 분석으로부터 용액상의 아가로스 농도가 증가함에 따라 원심분리에 의해 추출된 상층부에서 금속성 탄소나노튜브의 비율이 증가하였지만, 분리된 탄소나노튜브의 전체적인 농도는 감소하였다. 분산제인 SDS 농도가 증가할수록 금속성 탄소나노튜브와 SDS와의 화학적 친화성으로 인해 상층부에서 금속성 탄소나노튜브의 비율이 증가하였으며, 아가로스 용액의 pH가 8.2일 때 금속성 탄소나노튜브의 비율이 최대 58.4%까지 증가하였다.

We measured the degree of macrodispersion of the various single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy. CNTs were dispersed with SDS of 2 wt % in deionized water using the homogenizer and then were further centrifugated at 6000 g for 10 min. The degree of macrodispersion, expressed by $D_m({\lambda})=A_a({\lambda})/A_b({\lambda})^*100$ (%), where ${\lambda}$ is the wavelength and $A_a({\lambda})$ and $A_b({\lambda})$ are the absorbance of the sample after and before centrifugation, respectively. In the case of MWCNTs, we evaluated the degree of macrodispersion by the average degree of macrodispersion ($D_m({\lambda})$) between 1000 and 1200 nm. The degree of macrodispersion of SWCNTs was evaluated at the wavelength in which van Hove singularity-related transition regions were excluded, i.e., the range was chosen between ${E_{11}}^S$ and ${E_{22}}^S$ peaks. We have estimated six samples with the same method. The standard deviation of each sample was lower than 5. Therefore, we presented a reliable evaluation method for the macrodispersion of CNTs for standardization.

Recently, Near-infrared (NIR)colorant is intriguing and attractive but full of challenges. Although some cyanine colorant have been commercialized, near-infrared colorant with intensive NIR absorption, good chemical and photo-stability, and high solubility still remain as target compound. Certain polycyclic aromatic compounds such as quaterrylene represent a key class of NIR colorant and also give rise to outstanding physical and chemical properties after appropriate chemical modification. In this study, We have tried to introduceimide functional group to quaterrylene in order to give chemical and thermal stability. Finally, N,N'-bis (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-quarterrylene-3,4:13,14-tetracarboximide was synthesized and evaluated its properties using $^1H$ NMR, Maldi-tof, TGA, and UV/VIS/NIR spectroscopy as NIR colorant. The quaterrylene bisimide compound exhibit a excellent thermal stability and chemical stability.

We prepared a working electrode (WE) coated with 0 ~ 50 nm-thick indium gallium zinc oxide(IGZO) by using RF sputtering to improve the energy conversion efficiency (ECE) of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze the microstructure and composition of the IGZO layer. UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used to determine the transparency of the WE with IGZO layers. A solar simulator and a potentiostat were used to confirm the photovoltaic properties of the DSSC with IGZO layer. From the results of the microstructural analysis, we were able to confirm the successful deposition of an amorphous IGZO layer with the expected thickness and composition. From the UV-VIS-NIR analysis, we were able to verify that the transparency decreased when the thickness of IGZO increased, while the transparency was over 90% for all thicknesses. The photovoltaic results show that the ECE became 4.30% with the IGZO layer compared to 3.93% without the IGZO layer. As the results show that electron mobility increased when an IGZO layer was coated on the $TiO_2$ layer, it is confirmed that the ECE of a DSSC can be enhanced by employing an appropriate thickness of IGZO on the $TiO_2$ layer.
