FINEMET type nanocrystalline materials synthesized by controlled crystallization of amorphous ribbons[1] exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties making them attractive for technological applications. Present work reports the electronic structure studies of Co-substituted FINEMET to get information on the effect of successive Co substitution on local environment around Fe and Co atom by using near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. NEXAFS spectroscopy and XMCD measurements have been carried out at Fe $L_{3,2}$ and Co $L_{3,2}$-edges to investigate the chemical states and electronic structure of FINEMET [$(Fe_{100-x}Co_x)_{78}Si_9Nb_3Cu_1Ba$](0$L_{3,2}$-edge reveal that Fe is in 2+ state and in tetrahedral symmetry with other elements. The magnetic properties exhibiting soft magnetic behavior[2] are discussed on the basis of the electronic structure studied through XMCD.

Monolayers of graphite can be grown by fine controlled surface graphitization on the surfaces of various metallic and semiconducting materials. Epitaxial graphene grown on polished silicon carbide crystal surfaces has drawn much attention due to well known vacuum annealing procedures from surface analysis methods, especially scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy(STS). In this study, we have grown single layer and few layer graphene on silicon terminated 6H-SiC(0001) crystals. The growth of graphene layers were observed by low energy electron diffraction(LEED) patterns. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements were performed to illustrate the electronic structure which may display some clue on the influence of the underlying structure. Spatially resolved STS results acquired at the edges of epitaxial graphene show in detail the electron density of states, which is compared to theoretical calculations. STM measurements were also done on graphene films grown by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) and transferred onto a SiC(0001) crystal. These observations may provide a hint for the understanding of carrier scattering at the edges.

We examined the temperature-dependent structural and magnetic properties of HgI2 in the temperature range of 300~400 K. HgI2 is a diamagnetic material and can be used for X-ray or γ-ray detectors. DCmagnetization measurements on HgI2 showed that there is a small but distinguishable change in its diamagnetic properties near 375 K. The magnetic property change is not expected because Hg and I are known as nonmagnetic elements. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed a structural transition in the temperature of 350~400 K. Temperature-dependent x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) demonstrated that the chemical valence states of both Hg and I did not changed in the temperature range of 300~400 K. However, XAFS revealed that the bond-length disorder was slightly increased in the temperature range, particularly, near Hg atoms. The structural changes of HgI2 are likely related to its diamagnetic property change. We will discuss the relation between the diamagnetic properties and local structural properties of HgI2 in detail.

We propose a nearly lossless, compact, electrically modulated vertical directional coupler, which is based on the controllable evanescent coupling in a previously proposed graphene-assisted total internal reflection (GA-FTIR) scheme. In the proposed device, two single-mode waveguides are separate by graphene-$SiO_2$-graphene layers. By changing the chemical potential of the graphene layers with a gate voltage, the coupling strength between the waveguides, and hence the coupling length of the directional coupler, is controlled. Therefore, for a properly chosen, fixed device length, when an input wave is launched into one of the waveguides, the ratio of their output powers can be controlled electrically. The operation of the proposed device is analyzed, with the dispersion relations calculated using a model of a one-dimensional slab waveguide. The supermodes in the coupled waveguide are calculated using the finite-element method to estimate the coupling length, realistic devices are designed, and their performance was confirmed using the finite-difference time-domain method. The designed $3{\mu}m$ by $1{\mu}m$ device achieves an insertion loss of less than 0.11 dB, and a 24-dB extinction ratio between bar and cross states. The proposed low-loss device could enable integrated modulation of a strong optical signal, without thermal buildup.

Dairy goat production continues to be a socially, economically and culturally important part of the livestock industry in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands. Goat milk, cheese and other dairy products offer consumers food products with nutritional, health and environmental benefits. In North America, Mexico produces the greatest volume of goat milk, but most is for family or local consumption that is typical of a mixed farming system adopted by subsistence farmers in dry areas. The United States is not yet a large global goat milk producer, but the sector has expanded rapidly, with dairy goat numbers doubling between 1997 and 2012. The number of dairy goats has also increased dramatically in Canada. Commercial farms are increasingly important, driven by rising demand for good quality and locally sourced goat cheese. In South America, Brazil has the most developed dairy goat industry that includes government assistance to small-scale producers and low-income households. As of 2017, FAO identified Haiti, Peru, Jamaica, and Bolivia as having important goat milk production in the Western Hemisphere. For subsistence goat producers in the Americas on marginal land without prior history of chemical usage, organic dairy goat production can be a viable alternative for income generation, with sufficient transportation, sanitation and marketing initiatives. Production efficiency, greenhouse gas emission, waste disposal, and animal welfare are important challenges for dairy goat producers in the Americas.

Previous studies have reported on the mechanical robustness and chemical stability of flexible amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates both in flat and curved states. In this study, we investigate how the polyimide (PI) substrate affects hydrogen concentration in the a-IGZO layer, which subsequently influences the device performance and stability under bias-temperature-stress. Hydrogen increases the carrier concentration in the active layer, but it also electrically deactivates intrinsic defects depending on its concentration. The influence of hydrogen varies between the TFTs fabricated on a glass substrate to those on a PI substrate. Hydrogen concentration is 5% lower in devices on a PI substrate after annealing, which increases the hysteresis characteristics from 0.22 to 0.55 V and also the threshold voltage shift under positive bias temperature stress by 2 ${\times}$ compared to the devices on a glass substrate. Hence, the analysis and control of hydrogen flux is crucial to maintaining good device performance and stability of a-IGZO TFTs.

Objective: Surface disinfection is important in the proper running of livestock farms. However, disinfection of farm equipment and facilities is difficult because they are made of different materials, besides having large surface areas and complex structures. 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride (Si-QAC) is a quaternary ammonium salt-based disinfectant that attaches to various surfaces by forming covalent bonds and maintains its disinfecting capacity for a considerable time. Our aim was to evaluate the potential use of Si-QAC for disinfection of farm equipment and facilities. Methods: The short- and long-term antimicrobial and antiviral effects of Si-QAC were evaluated in both laboratory and farm settings using modified quantitative assessment method based on the standard operating procedures of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Results: Si-QAC was highly effective in controlling the growth of the Newcastle disease virus and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. Electron microscopy revealed that the mechanism underlying the disinfection activity of Si-QAC was associated with its ability to damage the outer membrane of the pathogen cells. In the field test, Si-QAC effectively reduced viral contamination of surfaces of equipment and space. Conclusion: Our results suggest that Si-QAC has great potential as an effective chemical for disinfecting farm equipment and facilities. This disinfectant could retain its disinfection ability longer than other commercial disinfectants and contribute to better farm biosecurity.

망가니즈 단괴를 구성하고 있는 금속 원소의 산화상태의 규명은 단괴의 형성기작 및 성인에 대한 이해를 증진시키고 단괴 형성 당시 수계의 산화-환원 전위 등의 고해양 환경에 대한 단서를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 상용 X선 광전자 분광분석(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; XPS)을 활용하여 자연계 망가니즈 단괴를 구성하는 광물의 결합상태와 금속 원소의 산화상태에 대한 정보를 획득하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 위하여 광물학적 변동의 영향이 효과적으로 기록된 동시베리아해 천해 단괴를 그 연구의 대상으로 삼았다. XPS Mn 2p 스펙트럼 분석 결과, 단괴의 중심부에서 외곽부로 이동함에 따라 망가니즈 산화 상태에 유의미한 변화가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 단괴의 중심부는 Mn⁴⁺가 약 67.9%의 비율을 보이는 반면, 단괴의 최외곽부는 환원된 형태의 Mn³⁺+Mn²⁺의 증가로 인해 Mn⁴⁺의 비율이 약 63%로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 단괴 성장에 따른 망가니즈 산화수의 감소는 단괴가 성장함에 따라 토도로카이트에서 버네사이트로 산화망가니즈 광물종이 변화한다는 기존 연구 결과로 설명된다. 또한 O 1s 스펙트럼 분석 결과 단괴 중심부에 비하여 외곽에서 Mn-O-H 결합이 우세하게 나타나는데, 이는 층상형 버네사이트가 우세한 외곽부에서 보다 해수 혹은 공극수로 인한 수화가 효과적으로 일어났음을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과는 망가니즈 단괴의 성장 중 수계의 산화-환원 양상 등 고해양 조건의 변동에 대해 XPS 방법론이 직접적으로 활용될 수 있음을 제시하며, 향후 보다 높은 분해능의 방사광 X선원을 이용한 실험을 통해 보다 세밀한 단위의 망가니즈 산화수 정보의 획득 및 미량 금속원소의 산화 상태 연구가 가능할 것임을 보여준다.

불균일 $CoO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매가 충진된 연속 흐름식 고정층 반응기 내에서 ppm 수준으로 수중에 존재하는 trichloroethylene (TCE) 제거반응을 수행하였으며, 가장 우수한 반응활성을 갖는 촉매의 결정구조와 표면화학적 특성을 분석함으로써 반응시간에 따라 분해활성이 전이영역을 보이는 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. $36^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 모델반응의 내부확산저항은 없었으며, $TiO_2$ 표면에 흡착에 의한 액상 TCE 제거정도는 무시할 수 있었다. 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매는 본 대상반응에 대하여 가장 우수한 활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 반응시간의 경과정도에 따라 TCE 분해효율이 점진적으로 증가하여 안정화되는 전이영역의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 반응 전 5% $CoO_x$ 촉매에 대한 XRD 패턴에서 담지체로 사용된 $TiO_2$에 의한 피크들 외에 새로운 피크가 관찰되었고, 5시간 이상 동안 반응한 후에 건조된 촉매의 경우에도 반응 전 촉매의 XRD 피크와 매우 유사하였다. $Co_3O_4$의 XRD 패턴들과 대조한 결과, 5% $CoO_x$ 촉매상에서 Co 화합물에 의해 야기되는 XRD 피크들은 $Co_3O_4$에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. 반응물에 노출되지 않은 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매에 대한 XPS 측정은 797.1 eV에서 Co $2p_{1/2}$에 대한 주피크와 함께 781.3 eV에서 Co $2p_{3/2}$에 대한 주피크가 관찰되어졌다. 반응 후 촉매의 경우에는 Co $2p_{3/2}$ 및 Co $2p_{1/2}$의 binding energy들은 각각 780.3과 795.8 eV에서 나타났다. 반응 전 후 촉매상에서 Co $2p_{3/2}$의 binding energy 차이는 1.0 eV이고, Co $2p_{1/2}$의 binding energy 차이는 1.3 eV이다. 표준 $Co_3O_4$에 대한 XPS 측정결과, 반응 후 촉매상에 존재하는 $CoO_x$는 $Co_3O_4$로 존재하고, 반응 전의 경우에는 이와는 다른 chemical state를 보여주었다. XRD 및 XPS 결과를 바탕으로, 촉매표면에 존재하는 $Co_3O_4$의 외부표면이 $Co_2TiO_4$와 $CoTiO_3$ 같은 $CoTiO_x$로 encapsulation되어 있는 모델구조를 제안할 수 있고, 이는 반응시간의 함수로 나타나는 촉매활성에 있어서 전이영역의 존재를 잘 설명할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, XRD와 XPS에서 얻어진 촉매의 물리화학적인 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있다.
