일차원 나노구조물은 양자 갇힘 효과 및 나노와이어가 갖는 체적 대비 높은 표면적 비에 기인하는 독특한 전기적, 광학적, 광전기적, 전기화학적 특성으로 인하여 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 특히 수직으로 성장된 나노와이어는 체적 대비 높은 표면적 비의 특성을 나타낸다. VLS(Vapor-Liquid-Soild) 공정은 나노구조물의 성장 과정에서 자기정렬 효과 때문에 더욱 주목을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 두 영역 열화학 기상증착법을 이용하여 Si\$SiO_2$(300 nm)\Pt 기판 위에 수직으로 정렬된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥을 VLS 공정으로 성장시켰다. 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥의 형상과 결정학적 특성을 주사전자현미경 및 투과전자현미경으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥의 지름과 길이는 촉매 박막의 두께에 따라 변하였다. 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 몸체는 비정질 상을 나타내었으며, Si과 O로 구성되어 있었다. 또한 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 머리는 결정성을 나타내었으며, Si, O, Pt 및 Ti으로 구성되어 있었다. 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 수직 정렬은 촉매물질인 Pt/Ti 합금의 결정성 정렬 선호에 기인하는 것으로 판단되며, 수직 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥은 기능성 나노소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Semiconductor nanowires offer exciting possibilities as components of solar cells and have already found applications as active elements in organic, dye-sensitized, quantum-dot sensitized, liquid-junction, and inorganic solid-state devices. Among many semiconductors, silicon is by far the dominant material used for worldwide photovoltaic energy conversion and solar cell manufacture. For silicon wire to be used for solar device, well aligned wire arrays need to be fabricated vertically or horizontally. Macroscopic silicon wire arrays suitable for photovoltaic applications have been commonly grown by the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process using metal catalysts such as Au, Ni, Pt, Cu. In the case, the impurity issues inside wire originated from metal catalyst are inevitable, leading to lowering the efficiency of solar cell. To escape from the problem, the wires of purity of wafer are the best for high efficiency of photovoltaic device. The fabrication of wire arrays by the electrochemical etching of silicon wafer with photolithography can solve the contamination of metal catalyst. In this presentation, we introduce silicon wire arrays by electrochemical etching method and then fabrication methods of radial p-n junction wire array solar cell and the various merits compared with conventional silicon solar cells.

In the Linford group at Brigham Young University we have recently developed three new sets of materials for three different areas of separations science: thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and solid phase microextraction (SPME). First, via microfabrication we have grown patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests on planar substrates that we have infiltrated with inorganic materials such as silicon nitride. The coatings on the CNTs are conformal and typically deposited in a process like low pressure chemical vapor deposition. The resulting materials have high surface areas, are porous, and function as effective separation devices, where separations on our new TLC plates are typically significantly faster than on conventional devices. Second, we used the layer-by-layer (electrostatically driven) deposition of poly (allylamine) and nanodiamond onto carbonized poly (divinylbenzene) microspheres to create superficially porous particles for HPLC. Many interesting classes of molecules have been separated with these particles, including various cannabinoids, pesticides, tricyclic antidepressants, etc. Third, we have developed new materials for SPME by sputtering silicon onto cylindrical fiber substrates in a way that creates shadowing of the incoming flux so that materials with high porosity are obtained. These materials are currently outperforming their commercial counterparts. Throughout this work, the new materials we have made have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, etc.

In this letter, we report that vertically well-aligned ZnO nanowires were grown on GaN epilayers and c-plane sapphire via a vapor-liquid-solid process by introducing a 3 nm Au thin film as a catalyst. In our experiments, epitaxially grown ZnO nanowires on Au-coated GaN were vertically well-aligned, while nanowires normally tilted from the surface when grown on Au-coated c-$Al_2O_3$ substrates. However, pre-growth annealing of the Au thin layer on c-$Al_2O_3$ resulted in the growth of well-aligned nanowires in a normal surface direction. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements showed that the grown nanowires have a hexagonal c-axis orientation with a single-crystalline structure.

When extracting semi-volatile components of herbal medicines using hot water vapor, some substances may react with water vapor or oxygen, and some volatile substances may be lost, when using an organic solvent extraction method has the disadvantage that it may contain a non-volatile material and residual organic solvent. In addition, it is inefficient to separate semi-volatile substances from herbal medicines into each single component and conduct biological activity research for each component to determine the effective ingredient, and some components may be lost in the separation process. In this study, semi-volatile substances evaporated under two pressure-reduced conditions in Chinese herbal medicines such as Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were separated by cooling with liquid nitrogen. Those were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the components, and this method may be used to study biological activities at the cellular level. The substances separated under reduced pressure, essential oil obtained by simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method and substances by using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) from Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were analyzed by GC-MS. In the case of Cnidii Rhizoma and Aucklandiae Radix, there were some differences among the essential oil components obtained by SDE and those identified by low temperature capture (CT) and SPME method, these were believed to be produced by some volatiles reacting with water or oxygen at the boiling point temperature of water.

The nanomechanical properties of fully lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire deposited on silicon substrate have been studied with atomic force microscopy. Silicon nanowires were synthesized using the vapor-liquid-solid process on stainless steel substrates using Au catalyst. Fully lithiated silicon nanowires were obtained by using the electrochemical method, followed by drop-casting on the silicon substrate. The roughness, derived from a line profile of the surface measured in contact mode atomic force microscopy, has a smaller value for lithiated silicon nanowire and a higher value for unlithiated silicon nanowire. Force spectroscopy was utilitzed to study the influence of lithiation on the tip-surface adhesion force. Lithiated silicon nanowire revealed a smaller value than that of the Si nanowire substrate by a factor of two, while the adhesion force of the silicon nanowire is similar to that of the silicon substrate. The Young's modulus obtained from the force-distance curve, also shows that the unlithiated silicon nanowire has a relatively higher value than lithiated silicon nanowire due to the elastically soft amorphous structures. The frictional forces acting on the tip sliding on the surface of lithiated and unlithiated silicon nanowire were obtained within the range of 0.5-4.0 Hz and 0.01-200 nN for velocity and load dependency, respectively. We explain the trend of adhesion and modulus in light of the materials properties of silicon and lithiated silicon. The results suggest a useful method for chemical identification of the lithiated region during the charging and discharging process.

팔라듐 (Pd)은 촉매 또는 유해 가스 감지물질로서 널리 활용되고 있다. 특히 자체 부피의 900배까지 수소를 흡착할 수 있는 특성 때문에 수소가스 센서로서의 다양한 연구가 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 팔라듐 옥사이드 (PdO) 나노구조물을 실리콘 기판 ($SiO_2(300nm)/Si$) 위에 열화학기상증착 장비를 이용하여 $230^{\circ}C{\sim}440^{\circ}C$ 영역에서 3시간 ~ 5시간 동안 성장시켰다. 원료물질인 Pd 파우더는 $950^{\circ}C$에서 기상화시켰고, 이송가스인 고순도 아르곤 가스를 200 sccm으로 흘려주었다. 성장된 팔라듐 옥사이드 나노구조물의 형상을 전계방출 주사전자현미경으로 조사하였고, 결정학적 특성을 Raman 분광학으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 성장된 나노구조물은 PdO 상을 가지고 있었으며, 특정한 기판 온도와 성장 시간에서 나노큐브 형태의 PdO 나노구조물이 성장되었다. 특히 5시간 동안 성장된 $370^{\circ}C$ 영역에서 균일한 형태의 나노큐브 PdO 나노구조물이 성장되었다. 이러한 PdO 나노큐브는 기상-액상-고상 공정으로 성장된 것으로 판단되며, 그래핀 위에 성장되는 PdO 나노큐브 구조는 고감도 수소가스 감지 센서로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, we report the vertically aligned ZnO nanowires by using different type of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films as seed layers to investigate how the underlying GZO film micro structure affects the distribution of ZnO nanowires. Arrays of highly ordered ZnO nanowires have been synthesized on GZO thin film seed layer prepared on p-Si substrates ($7-13{\Omega}cm$) with utilize of a pulsed laser deposition (PLD). With the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth process, the ZnO nanowire synthesis carries out no metal catalyst and is cost-effective; furthermore, The GZO seed layer facilitates the uniform growth of well-aligned ZnO nanowires. The influence of the growth temperature and various thickness of GZO seed layer have been analyzed. Crystallinity of grown seed layer was studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD); diameter and morphology of ZnO nanowires on seed layer were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Our results suggest that the GZO seed layer with high c-axis orientation, good crystallinity, and less lattice mismatch is key parameters to optimize the growth of well-aligned ZnO nanowire arrays.

산화아연 (ZnO)은 넓은 에너지 밴드갭 (~3.37 eV), 큰 엑시톤 결합 에너지 (~60 meV) 그리고 높은 전자 이동도 (bulk~300 $cm^2Vs^{-1}$, single nanowire~1000 $cm^2Vs^{-1}$)를 갖고 있어, 광전자 소자 및 반도체소자 응용에 매우 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, 산화아연 나노로드(ZnO nanorod)는 1차원 나노구조로써 더욱 향상된 전자 이동도와 캐리어의 direct path way를 제공하여 차세대 광전자소자 및 태양광 소자의 응용에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 한편, 이러한 산화아연 나노로드를 성장시키기 위하여 VLS (vapor-liquid-solid), 졸-겔 공정(sol-gel process), 수열합성(hydrothermal synthesis), 전기증착(electrodeposition)등 다양한 방법이 보고되었지만, 이러한 산화아연 나노로드의 성장방법은 실제적인 소자응용을 위한 패터닝 형성에 대하여 제약을 받는 문제점이 있다. 이들 중에서 수열합성법과 전극증착법은 ZnO 또는 AZO (Al doped ZnO) seed 층 표면과 성장용액의 화학반응에 의해서 선택적으로 산화아연 나노로드를 성장시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는, 광전자소자의 응용을 위한 간단한 패터닝 공정을 위해, 산화인듐주석(ITO) 박막이 증착된 유리기판(glass substrate)위에 수열합성법과 전극증착법을 이용하여 산화아연 나노로드를 선택적으로 성장시켰다. 실험을 위해, ITO glass 위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 사용하여 AZO seed 층을 metal shadow mask를 이용하여 패터닝을 형성한 후, 질산아연과 헥사메틸렌테트라아민으로 혼합된 용액에 $85^{\circ}C$ 온도를 유지하여, 패터닝이 형성된 샘플에 전압을 인가하여 성장시켰다. 나노구조 분석을 위해, 전계주사현미경을 이용하여 수열합성법과 전기증착법에 의한 패터닝된 산화아연 나노로드를 비교하여 관찰하였다.

Recently light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been expected as the new generation light sources because of their advantages such as small size, long lifetime and energy-saving. GaN, as a wide band gap material, is widely used as a material of LEDs and GaN nanorods are the one of the most widely investigated nanostructure which has advantages for the light extraction of LEDs and increasing the active area by making the cylindrical core-shell structure. Lately GaN nanorods are fabricated by various techniques, such as selective area growth, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) technique. But these techniques have some disadvantages. Selective area growth technique is too complicated and expensive to grow the rods. And in the case of VLS technique, GaN nanorods are not vertically aligned well and the metal catalyst may act as the impurity. So we just tried to grow the GaN nanorods on Si substrate without catalyst to get the vertically well aligned nanorods without impurity. First we deposited the AlN buffer layer on Si substrate which shows more vertical growth mode than sapphire substrate. After the buffer growth, we flew trimethylgallium (TMGa) as the III group source and ammonia as the V group source. And during the GaN growth, we kept the ammonia flow stable and periodically changed the flow rate of TMGa to change the growth mode of the nanorods. Finally, as the optimization, we changed the various growth conditions such as the growth temperature, the working pressure, V/III ratio and the doping level. And we are still in the process to reduce the diameter of the nanorods and to extend the length of the nanorods simultaneously. In this study, we focused on the shape changing of GaN nanorods with different growth conditions. So we confirmed the shape of the nanorods by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and carried out the Photoluminescence (PL) measurement and x-ray diffraction (XRD) to examine the crystal quality difference between samples. Detailed results will be discussed.
