Methyl red diffusion in polymer solutions was studied by a transient holographic method, forced Rayleigh scattering. In semi-dilute solutions of a polystyrene, where no specific interaction with the probe exists, we found within experimental uncertainty that the retardation of diffusion rate of methyl red is independent of the solvents used. This indicates that the hydrodynamic interaction in polymer coils is not affected by the nature of solvents enough to exhibit a detectable change in the diffusion rate of the probe. On the other hand, a substantial reduction of diffusion rate was observed in poly(methyl methacrylate) solutions in toluene. Together with the similar observation reported with poly(vinyl acetate), it is confirmed that hydrogen bond between the probe and the polymer is responsible for the retarded diffusion. The decay-growth-decay profile found in this system reveals a finite difference in diffusion coefficients of cis and trans isomer of methyl red. We estimate the difference and suggest that the cis isomer interacts with the polymer more strongly than the trans isomer.

Adsorption behaviors of positively charged matrix (PAH) onto negatively charged probe (sulfate PS particle) were investigated using DLS (dynamic light scattering) and FPR (fluorescence photobleaching recovery) as view points of matrix and salt concentration. The system experienced sharp decrease of diffusion (flocculation) at dilute condition while the system underwent gradual decrease of diffusion above semi-dilute concentration. With FPR and viscometry experiments, we revealed the probe behaviors in polyelectrolyte solution were strongly affected by the coil overlap concentration (0.5 g/L PAH concentration).

The probe diffusion and friction constants of methyl yellow (MY) in liquid n-alkanes of increasing chain length were calculated by equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at temperatures of 318, 418, 518 and 618 K. Lennard-Jones particles with masses of 225 and 114 g/mol are modeled for MY. We observed that the diffusion constant of the probe molecule follows a power law dependence on the molecular weight of nalkanes, DMY${\sim}M^{-\gamma}$ well. As the molecular weight of n-alkanes increases, the exponent $\gamma$ shows sharp transitions near n-dotriacontane ($C_{32}$) for the large probe molecule (MY2) at low temperatures of 318 and 418 K. For the small probe molecule (MY1) $D_{MY1}$ in $C_{12}$ to C80 at all the temperatures are always larger than Dself of n-alkanes and longer chain n-alkanes offer a reduced friction relative to the shorter chain n-alkanes, but this reduction in the microscopic friction for MY1 is not large enough to cause a transition in the power law exponent in the log-log plot of DMY1 vs M of n-alkane. For the large probe molecule (MY2) at high temperatures, the situation is very similar to that for MY1. At low temperatures and at low molecular weights of n-alkanes, $D_{MY2}$ are smaller than $D_{self}$ of n-alkanes due to the relatively large molecular size of MY2, and MY2 experiences the full shear viscosity of the medium. As the molecular weight of n-alkane increases, $D_{self}$ of n-alkanes decreases much faster than $D_{MY2}$ and at the higher molecular weights of n-alkane, MY2 diffuses faster than the solvent fluctuations. Therefore there is a large reduction of friction in longer chains compared to the shorter chains, which enhances the diffusion of MY2. The calculated friction constants of MY1 and MY2 in liquid n-alkanes supported these observations. We deem that this is the origin of the so-called“solventoligomer”transition.

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a sophisticated and an accurate analytical technique used to study the diffusion of molecules in a solution at the single-molecule level. FCS is strongly affected by many factors such as the stability of the excitation power, photochemical processes, mismatch between the refractive indices, and variations in the cover glass thickness. We have studied FCS near the surface of a cover glass by using rhodamine 123 as a fluorescent probe and have observed that the surface has a strong influence on the measurements. The temporal autocorrelation of FCS decays with two characteristic times when the confocal detection volume is positioned near the surface of the cover glass. As the position of the detection volume is moved away from the surface, the FCS autocorrelation becomes one-component decaying; the characteristic time of the decay is the same as the faster-decaying component in the FCS autocorrelation near the surface. This observation suggests that the faster component can be attributed to the free diffusion of the probe molecules in the solution, while the slow component has its origin from the interaction between the probe molecules and the surface. We have characterized the surface contribution to the FCS measurements near the surface by changing the position of the detection volume relative to the surface. The influence of the surface on the diffusion of the probe molecules was monitored by changing the chemical properties of the surface. The surface contribution to the temporal autocorrelation of the FCS strongly depends on the chemical nature of the surface. The hydrophobicity of the surface is a major factor determining the surface influence on the free diffusion of the probe molecules near the surface.

고검화도(98%이상)의 폴리(비닐 알코올)(PVA)를 디메틸설폭사이드(DMSO) 용매에 녹인 뒤 PVA 준희박 용액 대에서 농도 $C{\simeq}0.14\;g/mL$까지 점성도를 측정하였으며, 이 시스템을 매트릭스로 하여 폴리스티렌(PS) 라텍스 입자의 확산운동 지연을 동적 광산란법으로 조사하였다. PVA/DMSO계의 점성도를 고유점성도 $[{\eta}]$로 스케일된 환산농도 $C[{\eta}]$에 대하여 도시하였을 때 C$[{\eta}]$ >2에서는 분자량 의존성이 강하게 나타났으며, 그 원인은 PVA 용액 내에 존재하는 불균일 영역때문인 것으로 추정하였다. 그러나 매트릭스 내에서 탐침입자의 확산운동은 모든 측정농도에서 단일모드로 관찰되었고, 용액상 및 용매상에서의 확산계수의 비인 D/Do를 $C[{\eta}]$로 도시할 때 전체 농도 범위에서 분자량 의존성은 전혀 나타나지 않았으나 신장지수함수의 적용 한계는 C$[{\eta}]$ >2.5인 것으로 관찰되었다.

In ECR and helicon reactors for plasma processing, a high density plasma is generated in a source region which is connected to a diffusion region where the processing takes place. Large density and potential gradients can develop at the orifice of the source which drive ion currents into the diffusion region. The average ion velocity may become the order of the sound velocity. Measurements of the ion saturation current to a Langmuir probe are used as a standard method of determining the plasma density in laboratory discharges. However, the analysis becomes difficult in a steaming plasma. We have used the HAMLET plasma simulator to simulate the ion flow to a large langmuir probe in an ECR plasma. The collection surface was aligned with the Held upstream, normal to the field, and downstream. ion trajectories through the electric and magnetic fields were calculated including ion-neutral collisions. We examines the ratio of ion current density to plasma density as a function of magnetic field and pressure.

Growth characteristics of silica particles have been studied experimentally using in situ sampling technique from $H_2/O_2TEOS$ diffusion flame with carefully devised sampling probe. Verification of sampling result was done through new method and effects of flame condition and TEOS flow rate on growth characteristics of silica particles were investigated. By comparing particles sampled by thermophoretic sampling in flame with those by collector sampling after probe, particles do not change before and after probe sampling, which was clearly proved from the fact that the result of TEM image analysis makes good agreement with that of SMPS measurement. As flame temperature increases, the effect of coalescence or sintering becomes important mechanism during growth of silica particles, resulting in canceling the effect of coagulation, which makes mean diameter of silica particles increase slowly. With increase in TEOS flow rate, the number concentration of generated silica particle increases but residence time of particles in flame decreases. As a result, there exists upper limit to which the diameter of silica particle increases under same flame condition.

A new high speed AFM probe has been proposed and fabricated. The probe is integrated with PZT actuated cantilever realized in bulk silicon wafer using heavily boron doped silicon as an etch stop layer. The cantilever thickness can be accurately controlled by the boron diffusion process. Thick SCS cantilever and integrated PZT actuator make it possible to be operated at high speed for fast imaging. The resonant frequency of the fabricated probe is 92.9 kHz and the maximum deflection is 5.3 ${\mu}m$ at 3 V. The fabricated probe successfully measured the surface of standard sample in an AFM system at the scan speed of 600${\mu}m$/sec.
