Various nanometer-scale structures are fabricated on hydrogen-passivated p-type Si(100) surface by scanning probe microscopy(SPM). The hydrogen-passivation is performed by dipping the samples in diluted 10% HF solution for one min.. Pt alloy wires are used for tips and the tips are made by cutting the wires at 45$^{\circ}$ slanted. Various line features are fabricated in various bias voltage. The optimal structure is the line of about 30 nm width on 1.7V bias voltage and 1 nA tunneling current.

We characterized the physisorption of p-iodo-phenyl octadecyl ether molecules (I-POE) onto superlattice regions of graphite surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The formation of self-organized I-POE monolayers does not affect the overall structures of moir$\acute{e}$ patterns and their modulation periods. However, the packing density of the I-POE monolayer and the orientations of lamella structures were sensitive to the underlying superlattice structure. Depending on the bias voltage, the STM images selectively showed moir$\acute{e}$ pattern, I-POE layer, or both. Reflecting the local density of states at a certain energy level, the STM images thereby revealed the relative energy level scale of the superlattice with respect to the molecular orbitals of I-POE.

Alnite clinker, which is based on CaO-SiO2-CaCl2 system, was synthesized by recycling Cl-containing waste, and its hydraulic properties were onvestigated. Alinite coinkers with two different chemical compositions were burned for 10∼30 minutes in the range of temperature, 1350∼1450$^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of those clinkers were characterized by powder X-ray diiffracuion analysis, optical microscope, and scanning electronic microscope and heat of hydration of alinite cements which was measured in order to investigate hydraulic properties. X-ray analysis shwoed that f-CaO in both clinkers with different compositions significantly was decreased with transforming C2S(belite) to C3S(alite). From the results of microscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), crystal of synthesized alite(C3S) was larger and better crystallinity than that of ordinary portland cement.

Amorphous carbon thin films were deposited using laser ablation technique on Si(100) substrates at different temperatures. In this study, effects of the substrate temperature on the properties of amorphous carbon films were systematically investigated. The surface morphologic and structural properties of the films were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and raman spectroscope, respectively. With increasing of the substrate temperature, the surface morphologies were changed singnificantly. Moreover the intensity ratio of D-band and G-band and the full width at half maximum of these bands were dependent on substrate temperatures.

Ti-50Ni(at%) and Ti-40Ni-10Cu(at%) alloy powders have been fabricated by ball milling method, and their microstructure and phase transformation behavior were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractions and transmission electron microscopy. In order to investigate the effect of ball milling conditions on transformation behavior, ball milling speed and time were varied. Ti-50Ni alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed more than 250 rpm were amorphous, while those done with the milling speed of 100rpm were crystalline. In contrast to Ti-50Ni alloy powders, Ti-40Ni-10Cu alloy powders were crystalline, irrespective of ball milling conditions. DSC peaks corresponding to martensitic transformation were almost discernable in alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed more than 250 rpm, while those were seen clearly in alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed of 100 rpm. This was attributed to the fact that a strain energy introduced during ball milling suppressed martensitic transformation.

Currently, molecular devices are reported utilizing active self-assembled monolayers containing the nitro group as the active component, which has active redox centers[1]. We confirm the electrical properties of 4,4-di(ethynylphenyl)-2'-nitro-1-benzenethiolate. To deposit the SAM layer onto gold electrode, we transfer the prefabricated Au(111) substrates into a 1mM self-assembly molecules in THF solution. Au(111) substrates were prepared by ion beam sputtering method of gold onto the silicon wafer. As a result, we measured current-voltage curve using ultra high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV STM), I-V curve also clearly shows several current peaks between the negative bias region (-0.3958V) and the positive bias region (0.4658V), respectively.

Alcohol is a vesatile polar solvent for molecules. As a preparation to deposit large molecules, we studied interaction of solvent molecules on metallic surface. in this work, we report on methanol adsorption on NiAl(110) with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These alcohol solvent molecules were deposited by a pulse injection method suitable for deposition of thermally unstable molecules. The injection of liquid alcohol onto the substrate in UHV was performed by using a high-speed solenoid valve with the back-pressure reduced down to 100 Torr. This technique allowed precise control over the amount of dosing of molecules to less than 1 L. Alcohol-induced features, attributed to methoxy, were found on bare NiAl(110) surface.

The native silicon-oxide (SiOx) layer at the metal/Silicon interface acts as an electrical resistance to the metal contact of devices. Various methods are proposed for removing this layer, such as sputtering before metal contact formation or high temperature annealing. We studied the chemical evolution of the Au/SiOx/Si system during the annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ using a spatially resolved photoelectron emission method. Scanning photoelectron emission microscopy (SPEM) and core level spectra from local area of the sample show the inhomogeneous oxidation and formation of silicide of Au, as well as valence band spectra reveals the role of Au atoms during the dissociation process of SiOx.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the etching effects and bond strength of total etching and self-etching adhesive system on unground enamel using scanning electron microscopy and microtensile bond strength test. The buccal coronal unground enamel from human extracted molars were prepared using low-speed deamond saw. Scotchbond Multi-Purpose(group CM), Clearfil SE Bond(group SE), or Adper Prompt L-pop(group LP) were applied to the prepared teeth, and resin compasite(Z-250) was built up incrementally. Resin tag formation were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, after removal of enamel surface by acid dissolution and dehydration.(중략)

We studied the effect of temperature and reaction time by investigating the various temperatures and reaction times in the reduction of molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) to molybdenum (Mo) powder in hydrogen gas. We also studied the effect of the reaction of reduction according to the various hydrogen gas flow rates. We surveyed the reduction from molybdenum oxide to molybdenum powder in hydrogen gas and checked two temperature ranges, one from $400^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ and the other from $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. We found that the reaction ratio of molybdenum oxide increased with an increasing temperature and also increased with an increasing reaction time, but hydrogen gas did not influence the reduction ratio of molybdenum oxide. We examined molybdenum powders fabricated by ball milling for two hours, using with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
