The surface-enhanced Raman scattering of L-phenylalanyl-glycine (L-Phe-Gly), L-phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine (L-Phe-Gly-Gly), glycyl-glycyl-L-phenylalanine (Gly-Gly-L-Phe), L-tyrosyl-glycine (L-Tyr-Gly), and L-tyrosyl-glycyl-glycine (L-Tyr-Gly-Gly) adsorbed on silver colloidal particles have been investigated. More detailed investigations on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering from L-phenylalanine (L-Phe), glycyl-L-phenylalanine (Gly-L-Phe), L-tyrosine (L-Tyr), and glycyl-L-tyrosine (Gly-L-Tyr) than in ref. 17 have also been made. It has been found that the above molecules adsorb on the surface via both the carboxylate ($COO^-$) and amino ($NH_2$) groups.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the chemicals used in monomer epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method is precise for identifying biological materials and chemicals at considerably low concentrations. In the present article, the substrates coated with gold nanoparticles have been studied to identify BPA and control the diseases caused by this chemical. Gold nanoparticles were made by a simple chemical method and by applying gold salt and trisodium citrate dihydrate reductant and were coated on glass substrates by a spin-coat approach. Finally, using these SERS substrates as plasmonic sensors and Raman spectroscopy, the Raman signal enhancement of molecular vibrations of BPA was investigated. Then, the molecular vibrations of BPA in some consumer goods were identified by applying SERS substrates as plasmonic sensors and Raman spectroscopy. The fabricated gold nanoparticles are spherical and quasi-spherical nanoparticles that confirm the formation of gold nanoparticles by observing the plasmon resonance peak at 517 nm. Active SERS substrates have been coated with nanoparticles, which improve the Raman signal. The enhancement of the Raman signal is due to the resonance of the surface plasmons of the nanoparticles. Active SERS substrates, gold nanoparticles deposited on a glass substrate, were fabricated for the detection of BPA; a detection limit of 10-9 M and a relative standard deviation (RSD) equal to 4.17% were obtained for ten repeated measurements in the concentration of 10-9 M. Hence, the Raman results indicate that the active SERS substrates, gold nanoparticles for the detection of BPA along with the developed methods, show promising results for SERS-based studies and can lead to the development of microsensors. In Raman spectroscopy, SERS active substrate coated with gold nanoparticles are of interest, which is larger than gold particles due to the resonance of the surface plasmons of gold nanoparticles and the scattering of light from gold particles since the Raman signal amplifies the molecular vibrations of BPA. By decreasing the concentration of BPA deposited on the active SERS substrates, the Raman signal is also weakened due to the reduction of molecular vibrations. By increasing the surface roughness of the active SERS substrates, the Raman signal can be enhanced due to increased light scattering from rough centers, which are the same as the larger particles created throughout the deposition by the spin-coat method, and as a result, they enhance the signal by increasing the scattering of light. Then, the molecular vibrations of BPA were identified in some consumer goods by SERS substrates as plasmonic sensors and Raman spectroscopy.

The soot and OH radical distributions have been experimentally studied in ethylene and propane laminar diffusion flames. The integrated soot volume fraction was measured along the centerline of a flame using a laser light extinction method. Planar laser light scattering and PLIF techniques are employed for the soot and OH radical distribution measurements utilizing Nd:YAG laser and OPO, FDO system. The concentration of OH radical is rapidly decreased at the edge of sooting region, which implies the importance of OH radical species on the soot oxidation process. For ethylene flames, the addition of air in fuel moves the OH radical distribution towards the center line of a flame at the soot oxidation region, while the concentration of OH radical remains relatively high at the soot formation region. The interaction between soot particles and OH radicals becomes more active with fuel-air at the soot oxidation region. For propane flames, however, any indication of the increased interaction between soot particles and OH radicals with fuel-air was not noticed.

The improvement of critical current properties of $REBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (REBCO) coated conductors by introducing artificial pinning centers (APCs) is examined with respect to the field-angle anisotropy, high-field performance and relaxation property with time. Nano-rods along the c-axis introduced by PLD method and isotropic nano-particles introduced by TFA-MOD method are treated. The theoretical analysis is also shown to understand the effect of APCs quantitatively. The effects of superconducting layer thickness that influences the high-field performance and relaxation property are also discussed. It is shown that the upper critical field, which is another important factor to determine the high-field property, can be improved by introduction of APCs through electron scattering at interfaces with the superconducting matrix. The optimum critical current property can be obtained by properly designing the morphology and number density of APCs and the superconducting layer thickness.

스모그 챔버는 대기화학 반응을 물리적 변수를 제어할 수 있는 공간 내에서 재현하여 스모그 현상을 체계적으로 규명하기 위해 가장 많이 사용되는 방법이다(Dodge, 2000). 대기화학 반응을 통해 생성된 입자상 물질(secondary particles) 또는 초미세 입자(ultrafine particle, 〈0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)는 연속된 물리화학 반응을 통해 accumulation mode(0.1~l.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$) 입자로 성장한다. 특히, 대도시의 시정(visibility)은 accumulation mode 입자의 산란(scattering)과 흡수(adsorption)가 주요한 원인이기 때문에 이러한 물질의 생성에 영향을 주는 가스상 물질의 전화(gas-to-particle conversion) 반응과 초미세 입자의 성장 현상을 규명하는 것은 매우 중요하다.

Radiative transfer programs have been developed to simulate near-IR spectra of Titan. The formalism of the radiative transfer calculations includes the absorption and emission lines of $CH_4$, $C_2H_2$, $C_2H_6$, and HCN, and continua produced by Titanian haze particles. Absorption and scattering of sunlight by haze particles are considered by employing a two-stream approximation and a spherical-shell model for the atmospheric layers of Titan. Various constraints on the radiative transfer calculations for generating synthetic spectra will be discussed and presented. Several examples of comparisons between the synthetic spectra and recent spectral observations of Titan will also be presented.

The size and concentration of wear debris in lubricating oil often reveal the operating condition of the rotating machinery. To evaluate the possible application of light attenuation measurement for the estimation of wear debris concentration in the lubricating oil, the light transmittance through the lubricating oil cell contaminated with various concentrations of diatomite particles was measured, the attenuation coefficient was estimated from the transmittance measurement and the coefficients were compared with those obtained from the scattering theory. The comparision showed good agreements between them. It is also noted that the experimentally determined attenuation coefficient showed almost linear relation with particle weight concentrations for the concentrations within the range of 2000 ppm. For the case of 0 ppm weight concentration of diatomite particles in the lubricating oil cell, the thickness of the cell required to give $100 \mu W$ light attenuation is 7.75 mm. This result indicates that the light attenuation method will be one of the possible candidates of machine failure diagnostic sensors for the estimation of wear debris concentration in the lubricating oil.

The distribution of volume fraction, mean diameter and number density of soot particles are measured quantitatively in a co-flow ethylene diffusion flame using a simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique. The LII/LIS system and the measured values are, respectively, calibrated and evaluated by comparing to the informations obtained from laser light. extinction/scattering experiments, LII signal shows some sensitivity to the laser light intensity when laser power density exceeds a certain value(threshold). It is also found that there is an optimal laser intensity and a delay time in order to obtain the best result using the simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique.

The Cassini/Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) observed the sun through the atmosphere of Titan, and provided vertically-resolved 63 spectra from 49 km to 987 km for the 1 - 5 micron range (Bellucci, 2008). Bellucci et al. (2009) analyzed selected spectral ranges where the band absorptions of $CH_4$ and CO are strong by constructing synthetic spectra including $CH_4$ and CO lines, but without including haze absorptions in their synthetic spectra. Kim et al. (2011) and Sim et al. (2013) were able to extract detailed spectral features of fundamental (Dv = 1) and overtone (Dv = 2) bands of the haze from the VIMS spectra by excluding the adjacent influences of strong $CH_4$ absorptions using a radiative transfer program, which includes effects of absorption and emission of lines of these molecules, and absorption and scattering of haze particles. In this presentation, we extend our detailed analyses to other remaining wavelengths in order to provide the spectral characteristics of the Titanian haze for the entire 1 - 5 micron range and to identify any additional haze spectral features and an unidentified feature near 4.3 microns reported by Bellucci et al. (2009).
