  • The far-ultraviolet (FUV) C IV and H2 emission spectra of Orion-Eridanus Superbubble (OES) is hereby presented. The OES seems to consist of multiple phase through the detection of highly-ionized gas and pervasive neutral hydrogen. The former is traced by hot gas while the latter is traced by cold medium. A spectral image made with H2 fluorescent emission shows that the spatial distribution of hydrogen molecule is well correlated with the dust map. The model spectra was taken from a photodissociation region (PDR) radiation code which finds a best suitable parameter such as hydrogen density and intensity of the radiation field. C IV emission is caused by intermediate temperature ISM about 10^5 K. Therefore we could get more clear evidence to reveal the morphology of OES. In this process, the hydrogen density and gas temperature were also estimated. The data were obtained with the Far-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) and the whole data handling were followed by previous FIMS analysis.

  • Er-doped ZnO(ZnO:Er) films were deposited onto MgO wafers by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at 550 $^{\circ}C$ varying the concentration of Er in the deposition source from 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%. Annealing of the films in a vacuum was carried out to increase the intensity of ultraviolet(UV) emission from the films. The annealing temperature was between 600$^{\circ}C$ and 800$^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM), respectively. The properties of photoluminescence(PL) for the films were investigated by the dependence of PL spectra on the annealing temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) was conducted to find the composition change in the films by the annealing.

  • Conventional ultraviolets A,B,C are known to be very important factor of killing, changing surface properties of biological cells and materials. It is of great importance to investigate the influence of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) exposure on the biological cell. Here we have studied high density EUV plasma and its emission characteristics, which have been generated by plasma focus device with hypercycloidal pinch (HCP) electrode under various Ar gas pressures ranged from 30~500 mTorr in this experiment. We have also measured the plasma characteristics generated from the HCP plasma focus device such as electron temperature by the Boltzman plot, plasma density by the Stark broading method, discharge images by open-shuttered pin hole camera, and EUV emission signals by using the photodiode AXUV-100 Zr/C.

  • The Ne-Xe plasmas in dense plasma-focus device with coaxial electrodes were generated for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The influence of gas mixture ratio, Ne-Xe (1, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50%) mixture gas, on EUV emission measurement, EUV intensity and electron temperature in the coaxially focused plasma were investigated. An input voltage of 4.5 kV was applied to the capacitor bank of 1.53mF and the diode chamber was filled with Ne-Xe mixture gas at a prescribed pressure. The inner surface of the cylindrical cathode was lined by an acetal insulator. The anode was made of tin metal. The EUV emission signal of the wavelength in the range of 6~16 nm has been detected by a photo-detector (AXUV-100 Zr/C, IRD). The visible emission line was also detected by the composite-grating spectrometer of the working wavelength range of 200~1100 nm (HR 4000CG). The electron temperature is obtained by the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and measured by the Boltzmann plot with the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE).

  • The crack-free AlGaN template has been successfully grown by using selective area growth with triangular GaN facet. The triangular GaN stripe structure was obtained by vertical growth rate enhanced mode with low growth temperature of $950^{\circ}C$ and high growth pressure of 500 torr. The lateral growth rate enhanced mode of AlGaN for crack-free and flat surface was also investigated. Low pressure of 30 torr and high V/III ratio of 4400 were favorable for lateral growth of AlGaN. It was confirmed that the $4{\mu}m$ -thick $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$ was crack-free over entire 2-inch wafer. The dislocation density of $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$ was as low as ${\sim}7.6{\times}10^8/cm^2$ measured by cathodoluminescence. Based on the high quality AlGaN with low dislocation density, the ultraviolet laser diode epitaxy with cladding, waveguide and GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The stimulated emission at 349 nm with full width at half maximum of 1.8 nm from the MQW was observed through optical pumping experiment with 193 nm KrF laser. We also have fabricated the deep ridge type ultraviolet laser diode (UV-LD) with $5{\mu}m-wide$ and $700{\mu}m-long$ cavity for electrical properties. The turn on voltage was below 5 V and the resistance was ${\sim}55{\Omega}$ at applied voltage of 10 V. The amplified spontaneous emission spectrum of UV-LD was also observed from pulsed current injection.

  • A simple whole-cell-based sensing system is proposed for determining the cell mass of H. pluvialis using ultraviolet fluorescence spectroscopy. An emission signal at 368 nm was used to detect the various kinds of green, green-brown, brown-red, and red H. pluvialis cells. The fluorescence emission intensities of the cells were highest at 368 nm with an excitation wavelength of 227 nm. An excitation wavelength of 227 nm was then selected for cell-mass sensing, as the emission fluorescence intensities of the cell suspensions were highest at this wavelength after subtracting the background interference. The emission fluorescence intensities of HPLC-grade water, filtered water, and HPLC-grade water containing a modified Bold's basal medium (MBBM) were measured and the difference was less than 1.6 for the selected wavelengths. Moreover, there was no difference in the emission intensity at 368 nm among suspensions of the various morphological states of the cells. A calibration curve of the fluorescence emission intensities. and cell mass was obtained with a high correlation ($R^2=0.9938$) for the various morphological forms of H. pluvialis. Accordingly, the proposed method showed no significant dependency on the various morphological cell forms, making it applicable for cell-mass measurement. A high correlation was found between the fluorescence emission intensities and the dry cell weight with a mixture of green, green-brown, brown-red, and red cells. In conclusion, the proposed model can be directly used for cell-mass sensing without any pretreatment and has potential use as a noninvasive method for the online determination of algal biomass.

  • The present study examined the formaldehyde (HCOH) emission characteristic of various wood-based panel used in interior design, and measured changes in formaldehyde emission when a number of VOC reduction methods were applied. Formaldehyde emission showed a clear tendency of increase with the rise of temperature, and the concentration of formaldehyde emitted changed according to the preprocessing condition before measuring. Formaldehyde emission from wood board after bake out treatment was lower than that of the control group. When specimens were coated with urethane, cashew, water, oil stain, they generally showed the decrease of formaldehyde emission, although varying according to finishing material, and when edge sealing was applied the decrease became significant. $TiO_2$ coating was more effective in decreasing formaldehyde under ultraviolet lamps than under ordinary lamps. When the irradiation of ultraviolet lamps gets longer, formaldehyde emission decreased.

  • The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) and infrared(IR) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with Ne-Xe mixture gas. The influence of Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on resonance state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{1})$ and exited state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{2})$ has been investigated. It is found that the intensity of VUV 147nm emission is proportional to that of the IR 828 nm emission, and the VUV 173nm emission is roughly proportional to that of the IR 823nm emission. The electron temperature and plasma density have been experimentally measured from the center of sustaining electrode gap by a micro Langmuir probe in AC-PDPs. The plasma density from the center of sustaining electrode gap are shown to be maximum value of $9{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$, where the electron temperature is about 1.6 eV in this experiment

  • Spray pyrolysis was applied to prepare $M_{3}MgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu^{2+}$ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) blue phosphor powder. The library of a Ca-Sr-Ba ternary system was obtained by a combinatorial method combined with the spray pyrolysis in order to optimize the luminescent property under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation. 10 potential compositions were chosen from the first screening. The emission shifted to longer wavelength as Ca became a dominant element and the emission intensity was greatly reduced in the composition region at which Ba is dominant element. On the base of the first screening result, the second fine tuning was carried out in order to optimize the luminescence intensity under VUV excitation. The optimal composition for the highest luminescence intensity was $(Ca_{1.7},\;Sr_{0.3},\;Ba_{1.0})Si_{2}O_{8}:Eu^{2+}$ which had the color coordinate of (0.152, 0.072) and about 64% emission intensity of $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$ (BAM) phosphor.
