We have considered the influence of electron irradiation on the optical and electrical properties of $In_2O_3/Ti$ bi-layered films prepared with RF and DC magnetron sputtering. The $In_2O_3/Ti$ thin films irradiated at 600 eV shows the lowest resistivity of $6.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$. The optical transmittance in a visible wave length region also influenced with the electron irradiation energy. The film that electron irradiated at 600 eV shows 82.9% of optical transmittance in this study. By comparison of figure of merit, it is concluded that the opto-electrical performance of $In_2O_3/Ti$ bi-layered film is improved with electron irradiation.

The various techniques proposed previously to obtain a good antireflection(AR) coating induce a scattering of incident light by nanoparticles or control the refractive index by using different materials. This paper compares a suggested graded index profile with the quintic index profile previously suggested for producing an index profile that gives good performance from an AR coating. We assume the structure of the AR coating has three, six, and nine layers with 180 nm total thickness. The wavelength of incident light ranges from 300 nm to 1100 nm. We use the transfer matrix theory for a single layer to obtain the reflectivity of three, six, and nine layers. The reflectivity of two different index profiles with three, six, and nine layers is compared. As a result, the suggested graded index profile shows lower reflectivity than the quintic index profile with three layers, especially in the wavelength range from about 600 nm to 1100 nm. Therefore, we expect that these results can be applied to optical devices and filters in the range from visible(red) to near infrared.

The Sun's ray is composed of Infrared(49%), Visible light(40%) and Ultra violet(11%), however the ray getting to the earth is FIR(Far infrared; 60%), IR(Infrared; 20%), and UV(Ultra Violet; 20%). Human beings has utilized FIR already from time immemorial. Hershel found out Infrared for the first time. in the Industrial Revolution the Infrared and FIR had been begun to use making products. In these days, with contemporary science FIR would be begun to clear up the implication in the human body and organic compound. IR classified by wavelength three parts NlR, MIR, FIR. There is FIR which is radiated from healthy human body the wave length is 8-l4m. The human body is composed of proteins which get easily changed by a thermal factor (about 42 $^{\circ}$C over). FIR with low temperature can deeply penetrate on the human body composed things without troublesomes, since FIR has effectively operated on the human body at low temperature (35-40 $^{\circ}$C). When FlR penetrated on the human body. it would inhibit the abnormal genes and cells expression, and then information of DNA and RNA would be reexpressed for arranging DNA and RNA abnormal state. As FlR's receptors in the body, it could be presumed that N-glycosyl linkage of purine and deoxyribose, RNA splicing process, and Heat shock protein. To take the FIR which was a optimized wavewlength and strength, at first, we induced the characteristic algorithm and the computerized programing. Then we formed that the formular of optimized FIR with physical, mathematical logic and theory. especially, Plank, Kirchhoff, Wien, Stefan-Boltzmann's logic and law. In the long run, the formular was induced with integration mathematical, since we had to know the molecular wavelength. Based on the induced formular as above, we programmed the optimized FlR radiating computerized program. In this research, we designed the eletronic circuit f3r interfacing with human body to diagnosis and treatment with FIR sensor which radiated FIR wavelength optimized.

$TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ trilayer films were deposited with radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering onto the glass substrate to consider the influence of Ag interlayer on the optical properties of the films. The thickness of $TiO_2$ films was kept at 24 nm, while the thickness of Ag interlayer was varied as 5, 10, 15, and 20 nm. As-deposited $TiO_2$ single layer films show the optical transmittance of 66.7% in the visible wave-length region and the optical reflectance of 16.5%, while the $TiO_2$ films with a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer show the enhanced optical transmittance of 80.2% and optical reflectance of 77.8%. The carrier concentration was also influenced by Ag interlayer. The highest carrier concentration of $1.01{\times}10^{23}cm^{-3}$ was observed for a 15 nm thick Ag interlayer in $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ films. The observed result means that an optimized Ag interlayer in $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ films enhanced the structural and optical properties of the films.

Research and technological advances in the field of remote sensing have greatly enhanced the ability to detect and quantify physical and biological stresses that affect the productivity of agricultural crops. Reflectance in specific visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum have proved useful in detection of nutrient deficiencies. Especially crop canopy sensors as a ground remote sensing measure the amount of light reflected from nearby surfaces such as leaf tissue or soil and is in contrast to aircraft or satellite platforms that generate photographs or various types of digital images. Multi-spectral vegetation indices derived from crop canopy reflectance in relatively wide wave band can be used to monitor the growth response of plants in relation to environmental factors. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), where NDVI = (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red), was originally proposed as a means of estimating green biomass. The basis of this relationship is the strong absorption (low reflectance) of red light by chlorophyll and low absorption (high reflectance and transmittance) in the near infrared (NIR) by green leaves. Thereafter many researchers have proposed the other indices for assessing crop vegetation due to confounding soil background effects in the measurement. The green normalized difference vegetation index (GNDVI), where the green band is substituted for the red band in the NDVI equation, was proved to be more useful for assessing canopy variation in green crop biomass related to nitrogen fertility in soils. Consequently ground remote sensing as a non destructive real-time assessment of nitrogen status in plant was thought to be useful tool for site specific crop nitrogen management providing both spatial and temporal information.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture toughness of dental composite resins and to investigate the filler factor affecting the fracture behaviour on which the degree of fracture toughness depends. Six kinds of commercially available composite resin;, including two of each macrofilled, microfilled, and hybrid type were used for this study, The plane strain fracture toughness ($K_{10}$) was determined by three-point bending test using the single edge notch specimen according to the ASTM-E399. The specimens were fabricated with visible light curing or self curing of each composite resin previously inserted into a metal mold, and three-point bending test was conducted with cross-head speed of 0.1mm/min following a day's storage of the specimens in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water. The filler volume fractions were determined by the standard ashing test according to the ISO-4049. Acoustic Emission(AE), a nondestructive testing method detecting the elastic wave released from the localized sources In material under a certain stress, was detected during three-point bending test and its analyzed data was compared with, canning electron fractographs of each specimen. The results were as follows : 1. The filler content of composite resin material was found to be highest in the hybrid type followed by the macrofilled type, and the microfilled type. 2. It was found that the value of plane strain fracture toughness of composite resin material was in the range from 0.69 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ to 1 46 MPa$\sqrt{m}$ and highest In the macrofilled type followed by the hybrid type, and the microfilled type. 3. The consequence of Acoustic Emission analysis revealed that the plane strain fracture toughness increased according as the count of Acoustic Emission events increased. 4. The higher the plane strain fracture toughness became, the higher degree of surface roughness and irregularity the fractographs demonstrated.

For mapping the distribution of heavy metals in the mining area, field spectroscopy and hyperspectral remote sensing were used in this study. Although heavy metals are spectrally featureless from the visible to the short wave infrared range, possible variations in spectral signal due to heavy metals bound onto minerals can be explained with the metal binding reaction onto the mineral surface. Variations in the spectral absorption shapes of lattice OH and oxygen on the mineral surface due to the combination of heavy metals were surveyed over the range from 420 to 2400 nm. Spectral parameters such as peak ratio and peak area were derived and statistically linked to metal concentration levels in the streambed samples collected from the dry stream channels. The spatial relationships between spectral parameters and concentrations of heavy metals were yielded as well. Based on the observation at a ground level for the relationship between spectral signal and metal concentration levels, the spectral parameters were classified in a hyperspectral image and the spatial distribution patterns of classified pixels were compared with the product of analysis at the ground level. The degree of similarity between ground dataset and image dataset was statistically validated. These techniques are expected to support assessment of dispersion of heavy metal contamination and decision on optimal sampling point.

We have considered the influence of electron irradiation energy of 300, 600 and 900 eV on the stuctural, electrical and optical properties of GZO/$TiO_2$ thin films prepared with RF magentron sputtering. The optical transmittance and electrical resistivity of the films were dependent on the electron's irradiation energy. The electron irradiated GZO/$TiO_2$ films at 900 eV are grown as a hexagonal wurtzite phase and the resistivity is decreased with electron irradiation energy. The GZO/$TiO_2$ films irradiated at 900 eV shows the lowest resistivity of $4.3{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$. The optical transmittance in a visible wave length region also increased with the electron irradiation energy. The film that electron irradiated at 900 eV shows 82% of optical transmittance and higher work function of 5.18 eV in this study.

Zinc oxide is metal oxide semiconductor with the 3.37 eV bandgap energy. Zinc oxide is very attractive materials for many application fields. Zinc Oxide has many advantages such as high conductivity and good transmittance in visible region. Also it is cheaper than other semiconductor materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO). Therefore, ZnO is alternative material for ITO. ZnO is attracting attention for its application to transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, surface acoustic wave (SAW), films bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), piezoelectric materials, gas-sensing, solar cells and photocatalyst. In this study, we synthesized ZnO nanoparticles and defined their physical and chemical properties. Also we studied about the application of ZnO nanoparticles as a photocatalyst and try to find a enhancement photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanorticles.. We synthesized ZnO nanoparticles using spray-pyrolysis method and defined the physical and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles in experiment I. When the ZnO are exposed to UV light, reduction and oxidation (REDOX) reaction will occur on the ZnO surface and generate O2- and OH radicals. These powerful oxidizing agents are proven to be effective in decomposition of the harmful organic materials and convert them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, we investigated that the photocatalytic activity was increased through the surface modification of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. In experiment II, we studied on the stability of ZnO nanoparticles in water. It is well known that ZnO is unstable in water in comparison with TiO2. Zn(OH)2 was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoparticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their photocatalytic activity changes.

ZnO는 3.37 eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 투명 전도성 반도체이며 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성으로 인해 광원소자 개발을 위한 새로운 물질로 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 더욱이, ZnO는 쉽게 나노구조 형성이 가능하기 때문에 이를 응용한 가스센서, 염료감응태양전지, 광검출기 등의 소자 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 최근에는 GaN 기반 발광다이오드 (light emitting diode, LED)의 광추출 효율을 향상시키기 위한 ZnO 나노구조 응용에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. GaN 기반 LED의 경우 반도체 물질과 공기 사이의 높은 굴절률 차이로 인하여 낮은 광추출 효율을 나타낸다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 표면 roughening, texturing 등 에칭공정을 이용해 광추출 효율을 개선하려는 연구들이 보고되고 있으나, 복잡한 공정과정을 필요로 하고 에칭공정에 의한 소자 표면 손상으로 전기적 특성이 나빠질 수 있다. 반면 전기화학증착법으로 성장된 ZnO 나노구조를 이용할 때, 보다 간단한 방법으로 쉽고 빠르게 나노구조를 형성할 수 있고 낮은 공정온도를 가지기 때문에 소자의 전기적 특성에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 수직방향으로 잘 정렬된 ZnO 나노구조를 갖는 LED의 경우 내부 Fresnel 반사 손실을 효과적으로 줄여 발광 효율을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서, ZnO 나노구조의 성장제어 및 성장특성을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 ITO glass 위에 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. ITO glass 기판 위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 사용하여 Al 도핑된 ZnO (AZO)를 얇게 증착한 후 전기화학증착법으로 ZnO 나노구조를 성장하였다. 농도, 인가전압, 공정시간 등 다양한 공정조건을 변화시키면서 성장 메커니즘을 분석하였고, scanning electron microscope (SEM) 및 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 통하여 구조 및 결정성 등을 분석하였다. 또한, UV-Visible-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 투과율을 실험적으로 측정하여 ZnO 나노구조의 광학적 특성을 분석하였고, rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) 방법을 사용하여 계면에서 발생하는 내부 반사율을 계산함으로써 나노구조의 효과를 이론적으로 분석하였다.
