  • Reversed micelles (RMs) are nanometer-scale molecular assemblies in organic media. Their surface films (membranes) are composed of surfactant molecules normally holding two hydrocarbon hydrophobic chains. Di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT), which is a negatively charged molecule, is most popular surfactant utilized to form reversed micelles.(omitted)

  • This study is aimed to the numerical modeling of the surface plasmon-polariton excitation by a layer of active (electrically pumped) quantum dots embedded in a semiconductor, covered with a metal. It is shown that this excitation becomes much more efficient if the metal has a form of a thin (with thickness of several nanometers) film. The cause of this enhancement in comparison with a thick covering metal film is the partial surface plasmon-polariton localized at the metal-semiconductor interface penetration into air. In result the real part of the metal+air half-space effective dielectric function becomes closer (in absolute value) to the real part of the semiconductor dielectric function than in the case of a thick covering metal film. This leads to approaching the point of the surface plasmon-polariton resonance (where absolute values of these parts coincide) and, therefore, the enhancement of the surface plasmon-polariton excitation. The calculations were made for a particular example of InAs quantum dot layer embedded in GaAs matrix covered with an Au film. Its results indicate that for the 10 nm Au film the rate of this excitation becomes by 2.5 times, and for the 5 nm Au film - by 6-7 times larger than in the case of a thick (40 nm or more) Au film.

  • 광촉매용 ZnO 나노크기의 분말은 시작원료와 연료의 종류에 따라 용액연소법에 의해 제조되었다. 결정상은 XRD로부터 확인할 수 있었으며 분말의 하소온도는 TG 분석으로부터 결정되었다. 분말의 비표면적은 BET 법에 의해 측정되었으며 평균입자크기와 형태를 SEM과 TEM으로부터 조사하였다. 또한 분말의 순도를 조사하기 위해 적외선 흡수스펙트럼을 측정하였으며 광촉매 효율로서 은이 첨가된 사진현상액을 이용하여 은의 수거율을 측정하였다. 용액연소법으로 제조한 경우 시작원료와 연료에 관계없이 단상의 ZnO 분말을 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 합성된 ZnO 분말의 입자크기와 형태는 연료의 종류에 따라 서로 다르게 보였다. 특히, 연료로 glycine을 사용한 경우, ZnO 분말의 입자 형태는 균일한 나노 크기의 구형이었으나 carbohydrazide을 사용한 경우에는 판상과 같은 형태를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 기초로 하여 시작원료와 연료로 Zn(OH)$_2$와 glycine을 사용하여 합성된 ZnO 분말이 우수한 분말 특성을 보였으며 75nm의 입자크기와 94$m^2$/g의 비표면적을 보였다. 또한 사진현상액에 존재하는 은이 3분 이내에 완전히 제거되는 우수한 광촉매 성질을 보였다.

  • The resistive switching behaviors of Pt nanodisk on Nb-doped SrTiO3 single-crystal have been studied with conductive atomic force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum. The nanometer sizes of Pt disks were formed by using self-assembled patterns of silica nanospheres on Nb-doped SrTiO3 single-crystal semiconductor film using the Langmuir-Blodgett, followed by the metal deposition with e-beam evaporation. The conductance images shows the spatial mapping of the current flowing from the TiN coated AFM probe to Pt nanodisk surface on Nb:STO single-crystal substrate, that was simultaneously obtained with topography. The bipolar resistive switching behaviors of Pt nanodisk on Nb:STO single-crystal junctions was observed. By measuring the current-voltage spectroscopy after the forming process, we found that switching behavior depends on the charging and discharging of interface trap state that exhibit the high resistive state (HRS) and low resistive state (LRS), respectively. The results suggest that the bipolar resistive switching of Pt/Nb:STO single-crystal junctions can be performed without the electrochemical redox reaction between tip and sample with the potential application of nanometer scale resistive switching devices.

  • A novel tri-mode ultraprecision positioning system for machine tools and measuring machine is proposed. The basic coarse mode uses a Twist-roller Friction Drive (abbr. TFD), and controls several tens of millimeters of the machine-table travel with nanometer order of positioning resolution. The fine mode also utilizes the TFD with a fine adjusting mechanism. The resolution of the fine mode is in the range of sub-nanometer. For realizing picometer positioning, the ultra-fine mode is executed by using an active aerostatic guideway. On the bearing surface of this active guideway, several Active Inherent Restrictors (abbr. AIRs) are embedded for controlling the table position. An AIR unit consists of a piezoelectric actuator having a through hole, one end of the hole on the bearing surface acts as an inherent restrictor. Owing to the aerostatic mechanism of the AIR, the deformation of the piezoelectric actuator in the AIR unit causes much reduced table displacement. Such motion reduction is effective for ultraprecision positioning. Current positioning resolution of the ultra-fine mode is 50pm, however the final goal of the positioning resolution is expected to be in the order of picometer.

  • For MOSFET devices with nanometer range gate length, accurate extraction of effective gate length is highly important because transistor characteristics become very sensitive to effective channel length. In this paper, we propose a new approach to extract the effective channel length of nanometer range MOSFET by Capacitance Voltage(C-V) method. The effective channel length is extracted using gate to source/drain capacitance( $C_{gsd}$). It is shown that 1/$\beta$ method, Terada method and other C-V method are inadequate to extract the accurate effective channel length. Therefore, the proposed method is highly effective for extraction of effective channel length of 100nm CMOSFETs.s.
