FePt nanoparticles suspension was synthesized by reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine. FePt nanoparticles were coated on a substrate by convective assembly from the suspension. To prevent the coalescence during the annealing of FePt nanoparticles double convective coatings were tried. First convective coating was for silica particle assembly on a silicon substrate and second one was for FePt nanoparticles on the previously coated silica layers. It was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that FePt nanoparticles were dispersed on the silica particle surface. After annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes under nitrogen atmosphere, FePt nanoparticles on silica particles were maintained in a dispersed state with slight increase of particle size. On the contrary, FePt nanoparticles that were directly coated on silicon substrate showed severe particle growth after annealing due to the close-packing of nanoparticles during assembly. The size variation during annealing was also verified by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). It was suggested that pre-coating, which offered solvent flux oppose to the capillary force between FePt nanoparticles, was an effective method to prevent coalescence of nano-sized particles under high temperature annealing.

This paper describes an efficiency improvement of buried contact solar cell (BSCS) with a structure of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$/Ag/Cu/Ni grid/n$^{+}$ emitter/p-type Si base/p$^{+}$/Al. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a double layer antireflection (DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$. We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an AR layer because they have a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. An optimized DLAR coating shewed a reflectance as low as 2.04 % in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. BCSC cell efficiency was improved from 16.2 % without any AR coating to 19.9 % by employing DLAR coatings. Further details on MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$ DLAR coatings on the BCSC cells are presented in this paper.per.

The electrochemical characteristics and specific capacitance were investigated by preparation processes (dip coating method, doctor blade coating method and paste rolling method) of activated carbon electrode for an EDLC(electric double layer capacitor). The EDLC using $LiPF_6$ salts and PC-DEC solvents showed good specific capacitance, 130F/g and small IR-drop at linear time-voltage curve. 0.11V, Cyclic voltammetry analysis using the activated carbon electrode prepared by dip coating method was shown closer to ideal EDLC characterization.

In this computational study of optical fiber manufacturing, WOW (wet-on-wet) double coating process on freshly drawn glass fiber has been numerical modelled and simulated using a simplified geometry of typical optical fiber coating apparatus. The numerical domain includes primary and secondary coating dies along with secondary coating cup and the interface between primary and secondary coating liquids are investigated using level set method. Coating liquid viscosity is an important parameter and its dependence on temperature is also considered. Since there would be possibility for pressure and temperature of primary coating liquid to be increased substantially at high fiber drawing speed, the effects of increased pressure and temperature of primary coating liquid are examined on flow patterns of coating liquids in secondary coating cup. In case that both pressure and temperature of primary coating liquid are high enough, liquid interface becomes noticeably unstable and this flow instability could adversely affect the uniform coatings and final quality of produced optical fiber.

There are several methods for oxide coating on metals, such as aluminum or carbon nanotubes(CNTs). Usually CVD method is introduced for various oxide coating on CNTs. Another method is electrochemical method which use potential-pH diagram for oxide coating on metal or CNTs. In this experiment, electrochemical coating parameter for oxide coating on aluminum template modified by acids and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) were examined. SEM micrographs displayed clearly $Ni(OH)_2$ coating on template. For confirmation of electrochemical method application to EDLC electrode material fabrication, EDS spectrum was analyzed.

Experiments were conducted to develop a pelletization method of minute tobacco seeds for easy handling at seeding by hand or for mechanical seeding. Serpentine, zeolite, and talc were tested as coating materials and the resulting pills were compared in size uniformity, hardness, length of time needed for coating, percentage of pills containing a single seed, and speed of disintegration when submerged in water. Talc was the poorest and zeolite was good only in hardness. On the other hand serpentine was good in most characters above, except for brittleness. This defect, however, was overcome by double coating, first with serpentine and followed by zeolite. This new pelletizing method results in optimum hardness, uniform size, and high ratio of pellets containing one tobacco seed. When compared to bare tobacco seeds, the double-coated seeds did not differ in germination test.

UV curable coating system described here consists of double layers, namely under layer and top laser coatings. The former consists of organic-inorganic conductive materials and the latter consists of multifunctional acrylates. Transparent double layer coatings were prepared on the transparent substrates i.e. PMMA, PC, PET etc. by the wet and wet coating procedure. Their surface resistances and film properties were measured as a function of the top layer thickness and relative humidity. As the thickness of the top layer was less than $10{\mu}m$, the surface resistance in the range of $10^8{\sim}10^{10}{\Omega}/cm^2$ was obtained. The surface properties of the two-layer coating were remarkably improved compared with the single layer coating. The effects of migration of conducting materials on the film properties of multilayer coating were investigated by using contact angle and Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total reflection(FT-IR/ATR). It was found that the migration of dopant(dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid, DBSA) molecules were occurred from film-substrate interface to film-air interface in the organic conductive coating system but not in the inorganic one.

In this reseach, double-layered photoconductor consist of the carrier generation layer(CGL) of $\varepsilon$ type copper phthalocyanine thin film by an aqueous coating method and the carrier transport layer(CGL) of polyvinyl carbazol(PVK) by spin coating. We inverstigated effect of the surfactant solution and cathod electrolysis to the crystal type of $\varepsilon$-CuPc in CGL with TEM, SEM and X- ray diffraction spectroscopy and studied the mechanism of an aqueous coating for the preparation of CGL. The effect of the washing of CGL about the electrophotographic characteristics of the $\varepsilon$-CuPc/PVK doublelayered photoconductors is studied also.

We report the fabrication of double clad fiber (DCF) and DCF coupler, suitable for fiber based imaging systems requiring the dual-channel transmission. Unlike the conventional DCF which uses silica for both cladding layers, the proposed DCF uses a low-index polymer for its outer-cladding layer coated over the conventional silica inner-cladding layer. The DCF is drawn with a conventional SMF preform but a low-index polymer coating is used for both jacket and outercladding of the fiber. To achieve the cladding mode coupling, a DCF coupler is fabricated by simply twisting two pieces of the proposed DCF after removing the polymer-coating at contacting regions. A cladding mode coupling ratio of 30% was achieved with a contact length of 16 cm. The proposed DCF and DCF coupler were employed in a composite optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) system, and both OCT images and FS signal from a plant tissue are measured simultaneously.
