  • Strontium-substituted $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Dy^{3+}$ compositions were prepared by the solid state synthesis method. These compositions were characterized for their phase, crystallinity and morphology using powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Photoluminescence properties were investigated by measuring excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay time for varying Ba/Sr concentrations. Photoluminescence results show higher luminescence and long decay time for $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},\;Dy^{3+}$(x=0). This is probably due to the influence of the 5d electron states of $Eu^{2+}$ in the crystal field. Long persistence was observed for these compositions due to $Dy^{3+}$ co-doping.

  • 강한 레이저 펄스에 의해 만들어진 플라즈마를 사용하여 연엑스선(soft X-ray, 10-300 $\AA$) 광원을 얻으려는 노력은 주로 고체나 기체 표적에 대한 것이었다. 최근에 이르러 기체의 단열 팽창에서 생기는 원자 송이(atomic cluster)를 표적으로 하는 연구 결과들이 발표되었다. $^{(1).(2)}$ 원자 송이는 국소적으로는 고체에 가까운 밀도를 가지고 있어서 효율적으로 레이저 에너지를 흡수하는 반면, 전체적으로는 기체 상태에 있기 때문에 파편이 적고, 기체의 압력과 온도를 변화시킴으로써 송이의 크기를 조절할 수 있다.

  • Recent X-ray observations of the accretion disks in stellar black hole candidates have revealed rather complex behavior, which cannot be fully described by the simple picture of the standard disk model. In this paper, therefore, we discuss the effects of e+e- pair creation on the structure and the stability of hot accretion disks, aiming at the thorough understanding of emission properties of X-ray binaries containing black holes.

  • We present high-resolution optical spectra of newly selected candidates of intermediate-mass black holes. The sample was selected based on the variability and spectral shape in X-ray. The spectra was taken with Magellan 6.5 m Clay Telescope and cover the rest-frame region 3500-10000A. The high spectral resolution (R~4000) of the spectrum allows us to estimate BH masses of the sources. Interestingly, the majority of the sample appears to have broad emission lines. Using this dataset, we will estimate the BH masses and Eddington ratio in order to understand their physical properties.

  • GaN nanowires has much interest as one-dimensional materials for blue light LED. GaN-based materials have been the subject of intensive research for blue light emission and high temperature/high power electronic devices. In this letter, the synthesis of GaN nanowires by the reaction of mixture of GaN nanowires by the reaction of mixture of Ga meta and GaN powder with NH$_3$ using thermal chemical vapor deposition is reported. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy indicate that those GaN nanowires with hexagonal wurtzite structure were about 60nm in diameter and up to several hundreds of micrometers in length.

  • Recently, particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis system was installed at the 2MV ion acceleration system in Korea institute science and technology (KIST). This installation is for complement to low atomic resolution of heavy atoms at Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) system. For quantitative analysis, a mass calibration of the PIXE set-up has been done with thin film standards and. The GUPIX software package has been used to process the PIXE spectra and the results are compared with the values from RBS system. Therefore, the instrumental constant H (solid angle and correction factor) is determined relying completely on the GUPIX data base (cross-sections, fluorescence and Coster-Kronig probabilities, stopping powers and attenuation coefficients) for a large set of elements. These H values can be used in future analysis.

  • ZnO thin films for light emission device have been deposited on sapphire and silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique(PLD). A Nd:YAG laser was used with the wavelength of355 nm. In order to investigate the emission properties of ZnO thin films, Pl measurements with an Ar ion laser a light source using an excitation wavelength of 351 nm and a power of 100 mW are used. All spectra were taken at room temperature by using a grating spectrometer and a photomultiplier detector. ZnO exhibited Pl bands centers around 390, 510 and 640 nm, labeled near ultra-violet(UV), green and orange bands. Structural properties of ZnO thin films are analyzed with X-ray diffraction(XRD).

  • To obtain the relation in the electrochemical reduction of $CO_2$ in aqueous $KHCO_3$ colution between an activity for the product and the nature of Cu electrode, the electrode surface was characterized by using two methods: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoelectron emission (PE) measurement. Electrolyses were performed with Cu electrodes pretreated in several ways. The distribution of the products changed drastically with electrolysis time and the pretreatment method. The features in XPS spectra were closely connected with the product distribution. The oxide film at the electrode surface was gradually reduced to bare Cu metal with electrolysis time, resulting in a variation of the product distribution. PE was measured by verying the wavelength of incident light at several temperatures. The dependence of PE on the measurement temperature changed greatly before and after electrolysis.

  • ZnO nanowires with tetrapod shape were formed on the surface of the sample by direct melt oxidation of Al-Zn alloy at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed that the ZnO nanowires had wurtzite structure of hexagonal phase. Any other element except Zn and O was not detected in energy dispersive X-ray spectrum. The c- and a-axis lattice constants estimated from the XRD pattern were 0.520 and 0.325 nm, respectively. These are in well accordance with those of bulk ZnO single crystal, indicating high quality crystallinity. The green light emission at a wavelength of 510 nm was observed from the nanowires at room temperature, which was ascribed to high density of oxygen vacancies in nanowires.
