We elucidate the mechanism of the self-assembled organic layer formation at the organic/metal interface of hexaaza-triphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HATCN)/Au(111) by first-principles calculations and Lowtemperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In this work, we used HATCN to deposit organic material which is well known as an efficient OLED charge generation material. Low-temperature STM measurements revealed that self-assembled hexagonal porous structure is formed at terraces of Au(111). We also found that the hexagonal porous structure has chirality and forms only small (<1000 $nm^2$) phaseseparated chiral domains that can easily change their chiral phase in subsequence STM images at 80 K. To explain the mechanism of these observation, we calculated the molecular-molecular and molecule-surface interaction energies by using density functional theory method. We found that the change of their chiral phase resulted from the competition between the two energies. These results have not only verified our experimental observations, but also revealed the delicate balance between different interactions that caused the self-assembed structures at the surface.

Recently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system, a genome editing technology, was shown to be versatile in treating several antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the present study, we applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to kill extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli. ESBL bacteria are mostly multidrug resistant (MDR), and have plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance genes that can be easily transferred to other members of the bacterial community by horizontal gene transfer. To restore sensitivity to antibiotics in these bacteria, we searched for a CRISPR/Cas9 target sequence that was conserved among >1,000 ESBL mutants. There was only one target sequence for each TEM- and SHV-type ESBL, with each of these sequences found in ~200 ESBL strains of each type. Furthermore, we showed that these target sequences can be exploited to re-sensitize MDR cells in which resistance is mediated by genes that are not the target of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, but by genes that are present on the same plasmid as target genes. We believe our Re-Sensitization to Antibiotics from Resistance (ReSAFR) technology, which enhances the practical value of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, will be an effective method of treatment against plasmid-carrying MDR bacteria.

공액분자 나노구조체 계면에서의 전하이동 이방성을 이해하는 것은 유기전계효과트랜지스터(OFET)에서 구조-물성 상관관계를 규명하는데 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 코페이셜 적층구조를 가진 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) 유기반도체 단결정과 산화물 계면에서 전하이동도 이방성을 연구하였다. 용매치환공정을 이용해 유기단결정을 산화실리콘 절연체 표면에 성장시키고 유기단결정/산화물 계면에서 전하이동을 유도할 수 있도록 OFET 소자를 완성하였다. TIPS-pentacene OFET에서 최고/최저 전하이동도 이방성은 5.2로 관찰되었다. TIPS-pentacene의 전하이동을 담당하는 공액부의 최인접부와의 상호작용을 분석한 결과, HOMO 준위 커플링과 전하의 호핑 궤도가 전하이동도 이방성에 기여하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. HOMO 준위 커플링에 기반한 전하이동도 이방성의 정량적 예측은 실험결과와 유사하게 나타났다.

Resol형 페놀수지(phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin)는 페놀(phenol: P)에 포름알데히드(formaldehyde: F)를 첨가하여 반응시키는 부가반응과 물을 제거하는 축합반응에 의해 합성된다. 본 연구에서는 부가반응 반응변수인 F/P몰비, 촉매의 농도, 반응온도 및 반응시간 등의 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 또한 반응시간의 조절에 따른 합성된 페놀수지의 분자량과 점도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험결과, 부가반응에서 촉매농도와 반응온도가 높아질수록 반응시간은 크게 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 축합반응에서 페놀수지의 점도는 반응시간이 증가할수록 1500cps에서 9000 cps까지 증가하였고, 분자량은 500~1100 g/mol 범위의 저 분자량을 나타내었다.

The use of multi scale modeling concepts and simulation techniques to study the destabilization of an ultrathin layer of oxide interface between a metal substrate and the surrounding environment is considered. Of particular interest are chemo-mechanical behavior of this interface in the context of a molecular-level description of stress corrosion cracking. Motivated by our previous molecular dynamics simulations of unit processes in materials strength and toughness, we examine the challenges of dealing with chemical reactivity on an equal footing with mechanical deformation, (a) understanding electron transfer processes using first-principles methods, (b) modeling cation transport and associated charged defect migration kinetics, and (c) simulation of pit nucleation and intergranular deformation to initiate the breakdown of the oxide interlayer. These problems illustrate a level of multi-scale complexity that would be practically impossible to attack by other means; they also point to a perspective framework that could guide future research in the broad computational science community.

Graphene was epitaxially grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by thermal decomposition of SiC under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we monitored the evolution of the graphene growth as a function of the temperature. We found that the evaporation of Si occurred dominantly from the corner of the step rather than on the terrace. A carbon-rich $(6{\sqrt{3}}{\times}6{\sqrt{3}})R30^{\circ}$ layer, monolayer graphene, and bilayer graphene were identified by measuring the roughness, step height, and atomic structures. Defect structures such as nanotubes and scattering defects on the monolayer graphene are also discussed. Furthermore, we confirmed that the Dirac points (ED) of the monolayer and bilayer graphene were clearly resolved by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS).

Polypyrrole (Ppy) nanowire has been electrochemically synthesized via vertically oriented mesoporous silica template. The mesoporous template is also electrochemically deposited on indium tin oxide coated (ITO) glass from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant. The highly ordered silica template is demonstrated to be 100~120nm thick with the pores of 4~5 nm diameter by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Ppy is formed to fill pores of the silica template from pyrrole solution by electrochemical oxidation. The Ppy in Ppy/silica/ITO composite was found to exhibit reversible electrochemical activity, as characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

본 Styrene (ST)과 sodium 1-allyloxy-2-hydroxypropane sulfonate (COPS-I)의 무유화 공중합을 다양한 중합조건(ST, COPS-I, KPS, DVB의 농도 및 중합온도)하에서 실시하여, 165~550 nm 입자경 범위의 단분산 라텍스를 제조하였다. 일반적으로 COPS-I와 KPS의 농도, 중합온도, DVB의 농도 등의 변화는 고분자 입자수(입자경), 중합속도, 분자량, 제타전위 등에 밀접한 영향을 미침을 발견하였다. 입자수의 증가는 중합속도와 제타전위를 증가시켰으나 분자량은 감소하였다.

The phases and interface formation of MgF2 on Si(111) were studied by using LEED, AES, and TPD. When thick MgF2 film was deposited on the Si(111) surface at RT뭉 annealed at higher temperatures, a sequence of LEED patterns (no LEED pattern $\longrightarrow$1$\times$1$\longrightarrow$3$\times$1$\longrightarrow$7$\times$7) was observed. On the 1$\times$1 model in which Mg adsorbs on T4 site and F on H3 site could explain the simultaneous desorption of SiF2 and Mg. When thin MgF2 film was deposited, and initial $\alpha$-$\times$1 phase transforms to 3$\times$3 and $\beta$-1$\times$1 by thermal annealing with a slow evaporation of F and diffusion of Mg into the surface. the 3$\times$3 surface changes to ${\gamma}$-1$\times$1 by the selective desorptioon of F under e-beam irradiation and subsesquently to a Mg-induced {{{{ SQRT { 3} }}}} structure by annealing at $600^{\circ}C$.
