  • We propose a custom analysis technique for the dark field (DF) image based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The custom analysis technique is developed based on the $DigitalMicrograph^{(R)}$ (DM) script language embedded in the Gatan digital microscopy software, which is used as the operational software for most TEM instruments. The developed software automatically scans an electron beam across a TEM sample and records a series of electron diffraction patterns. The recorded electron diffraction patterns provide DF and ADF images based on digital image processing. An experimental electron diffraction pattern is recorded from a IrMn polycrystal consisting of fine nanograins in order to test the proposed software. We demonstrate that the developed image processing technique well resolves nanograins of ~ 5 nm in diameter.

  • Maghemite and hematite nanospheres were synthesized by using the Sol-gel technique. The structural properties of these nanosphere powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and pore size distribution. Hematite phase shows crystalline structures. The mean particle size that resulted from BET and XRD analyses were 4.9 nm and 2 nm. It can be seen from transmission electron microscopy that the size of the particles are very small which is in good agreement with the FESEM and the X-ray diffraction. The BET and pore size method were employed for specific surface area determination.

  • Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) is a powerful analyzing tool for identifying lattice defects like dislocations and twin boundaries. By using diffraction-based scanning electron microscopy technique, it enables microstructure analysis, which is comparable to that obtained by transmission electron microscopy that is mostly used in defect analysis. In this report, the optimal conditions for investigating crystal defects are suggested. We could obtain the best ECCI images when both acceleration voltage and probe current are high (30 kV and 20 nA). Also, shortening the working distance (6 mm) enhances the quality of defect imaging.

  • Due to the miniaturization of semiconductor devices, their crystal structure on the nanoscale must be analyzed. However, scanning electron microscope-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has a limitation of resolution in nanoscale and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) can be used to analyze restrictive local structural information. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) automated crystal orientation and phase mapping using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (3D TEM-EBSD) was used to identify the crystal structure relationship between an epitaxially grown CdS interfacial layer and a $Cu(In_xGa_{x-1})Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cell layer. The 3D TEM-EBSD technique clearly defined the crystal orientation and phase of the epitaxially grown layers, making it useful for establishing the growth mechanism of functional nano-materials.

  • The glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique was used to fabricate $ZrO_2$ thin films by electron-beam evaporation. The crystal structure, cross-sectional structure, surface morphology and optical properties are characterized by X-ray diffraction meter (XRD, Rigaku, Cu $K{\alpha}$ - radiation), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and spectrophotometer, respectively.

  • We have studied a fabrication of Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) wire arrays and structures with various feature sizes from hundreds micrometers to tens nanometers. PEDOT is well-known as a conducting material, can be grown by a vapor pressure polymerization (VPP) method. The VPP technique is a bottom-up processing method that utilizes the organic arrangement of macromolecules to easily produce ordered aggregates. Also, liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM), which was reported as a new direct patterning method recently, is based on the direct transfer of various materials from a mould to a substrate through a liquid bridge between them. The PEDOT nanowires grown by VPP method and transferred on a substrate to use LB-nTM method have been investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and electrical properties.

  • We have studied a fabrication of vapor phase polymerized Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowire arrays for the first time. The vapor-phase polymerization (VPP) technique is a bottom-up processing method that utilizes the organic arrangement of macromolecules to easily produce ordered aggregates, including on the nanoscale, or prepare thin films of self-assembled molecules, micropatterns, or modified microstructures of pure conducting polymers. Also, liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM), which was reported as a new direct patterning method recently, is for the arrayed formation of two- or three-dimensional structures with feature sizes as small as tens of nanometers over large areas up to 4 inches across and is based on the direct transfer of various materials from a mould to a substrate through a liquid bridge between them. The PEDOT nanowires grown by VPP method and transferred on a substrate to use LB-nTM method have been fabricated to single crystal PEDOT nanowires investigated Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and electrical properties.

  • 몰리브덴(Molybdenum) 박막은 높은 전기전도성을 가진 금속으로 CIGS계 태양전지의 후면전극으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 스퍼터링법을 통해 증착되는 몰리브덴 박막의 경우, 전기 전도성 및 기판과의 밀착성은 스퍼터 전력 및 압력과 같은 공정 조건에 따라 변화된다. 본 연구에서는 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 몰리브덴 박막을 Ar 가스 분위기에서 압력별로 증착하였다. SEM(scanning electron microscope), XRD(X-ray Diffraction), 4-point probe, 광반사율, Hall measurement를 이용하여 박막의 전기적, 구조적 특성을 분석하였다.

  • 전기방사법을 이용하여 폴리(비닐 알코올)(poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA)/수분산 폴리우레탄(waterborne polyurethane, WBPU)/montmorillonite clay(MMT) 나노복합섬유를 제조하고 특성을 분석하였다. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X선 회절, thermal gravimetric analyzer(TGA) 의 분석장비들을 이용하여 제조된 나노복합섬유의 형태와 구조적, 열적특성을 확인한 결과, 평균직경이 600~900 nm인 나노복합섬유들이 성공적으로 제조되었으며, MMT가 나노섬유 내에 완전박리되어 기존의 고분자 나노섬유에 비해 열적성질이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 제조된 나노복합섬유는 친수성이고 생체친화적인 재료들을 이용하여 제조되었으며, 의료 분야를 비롯하여 의류 및 산업용 코팅제, 필터 등의 분야로 이용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

  • 여러 가지 온도, 조성 및 농도에서 이성분계 세라믹 복합체 TPSZ(titania partially-stabilized zirconia)의 미분말을 초음파분무열분해법에 의하여 합성하였으며, 합성공정인자가 분체특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하고, 합성된 분체의 특성을 조사하였다. 출발용액의 제조는 금속염의 농도가 0.025~0.1 M이 되도록 증류수에 용해하고, 그 조성비는 $ZrO_2$ 90~97.5 wt%에 $TiO_2$ 2.5~10 wt%가 되도록 하였다. 합성시 열분해 영역에서의 온도는 건조부가 400~550$^{\circ}C$, 반응부는 800~1100$^{\circ}C$로 하였으며, 합성된 분체는 습식으로 포집하여 110$^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 건조하였다. 합성된 미분체의 특성을 Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) 및 Particle Size Analyzer(PSA)로써 조사하였고, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy(ICP-AES)로써 순도 및 조성을 분석하였다.
