Control over surface induced self-assembly of electronically active pi-conjugated molecules provides great opportunities to fine-tune and optimize their electrical properties in organic electronics. In this study, with the aim of enhancing the electrical performances by promoting surface induced two-dimensional self-assembly in representative pi-conjugated molecules such as poly (3-hexylthiophene) and pentacene, we have controlled the intermolecular interaction at the interface between pi-conjugated molecules and substrate by using self-assembled monolayers functionalized with various groups. We will discuss the dependency of pi-conjugated molecules on the specific properties of the substrate surface and the effect of surface induced self-assembly on electrical performances in organic transistors.

Glyoxalase I (Ee 4.4.1.5, lactoylglutathione lyase) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and affinity chromatography on S-hexylglutathione agarose. The purified enzyme was judged to be homogeneous on SDS-PAGE, and consisted of a single polypeptide chain with a relative molecular weight of 24,000. The enzyme was most active at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. It was catalytically most active with methylglyoxal as substrate. A number of properties of the Chlamydomonas glyoxalase I enzyme, such as substrate specificity, molecular mass, kinetic parameters, pi, metal ion effect, have been determined and compared with those reported for preparations from other sources. It had somewhat different characteristics from mammalian enzymes.

Calcium phosphate ceramics have been applied intensively to orthopaedic and dental implants by virtue of their osteoconductive nature. In an attempt to enhance the bone implant intergrity and Eta utility, these ceramics are deposited onto the porous surface of metallic implants. The coating procedure and the ensuing phase transformations of the ceramic alter the mechanical properties and surface chemistry of the ceramic layers as well as those of the substrate. These structural and compositional differences are directly related to the interaction mechanisms at the surface-active ceramicbone interface. Material and processing induced influences on dissolution, electrokinetic behavior, ceramic-metallic substrate interface and boRe growth enhancement are presented.

Graphene shows diverse novel physical properties arising from its peculiar electronic states, so called Dirac electrons. Especially, effect of magnetic field is very unique, exhibiting exotic Landau level (LL) splitting. LLs are substantially modified by spins of Dirac electrons and pseudo-spins. The degeneracy of LLs is lifted to show splitting by electron-electron interaction and by the Zeeman effect. We investigated the magneto-optical absorption of graphene subjected to ultra-high magnetic field. Samples were prepared by the CVD method deposited on GaAs and Quart substrate. We have confirmed existence of graphene on each substrate by the micro-Raman spectroscopy. Next, we conducted magneto-absorption measurements in magnetic field up to 120 T by the single-turn coil (STC) method. We could observe absorption peak at 65 T and 100 T, respectively, probably arising from the LL inter-band transitions.

The aminolysis reactions of phenyl N-benzyl thiocarbamate with benzylamines in acetonitrile at $50.0^{\circ}C$ are investigated. The reactions are first order in both the amine and the substrate. Under amine excess, pseudo-first coefficient ($k_{obs}$) are obtained, plot of $k_{obs}$ vs free amine concentration are linear. The signs of ${\rho}_{XZ}$ (< 0) are consistent with concerted mechanism. Moreover, the variations of $\rho_X$ and $\rho_Z$ with respect to the sustituent in the substrate and large ${\rho}_{XZ}$ value indicate that the reactions proceed concerted mechanism. The normal kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$ = 1.3 ~ 1.5) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a hydrogen-bonded, four-centered-type transition state. The activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^\ddagger$ and ${\Delta}S^\ddagger$, are consistent with this transition state structure.

The study on laser-ablation plasmas has been strongly interested in fundamental aspects of laser-solid interaction and consequent plasma generation. In particular, this plasma has been widely used for the deposition of thin solid films and applied to the semiconductors and insulators. In this paper, we developed and discussed the generation of carbon ablation plasmas emitted by laser radiation on a solid target, graphite. The progress of carbon plasmas by laser-ablation was simulated using Monte-Carlo particle model under the pressures of vacuum, 1 Pa, 10 Pa and 66 Pa. At the results, carbon particles with low energy were deposited on the substrate as the pressure becomes higher However, there was no difference of deposition distributions of carbon particles on the substrate regardless of the pressure.

The disjoining pressure is an important physical property in modeling the small-scale transport phenomena on thin film. It is a very useful definition in characterizing the non-continuum effects that are not negligible in heat and mass transport of the film thinner than submicro-scales. We present the calculated values of disjoining pressure of He, Kr and Xe thin films absorbed on graphite substrate using Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MD). The disjoining pressure is accurately calculated in the resolution of a molecular scale of the film thickness. The characteristics of the pressure are discussed regarding the molecular nature of the fluid system such as molecular diameter and intermolecular interaction parameters. The MD results are also compared with those based on the continuum approximation of the slab-like density profile and the results on other novel gases in the previous study. The discrepancies of the continuum model with MD results are shown in all three configurations and discussed in the view point of molecular features.

This paper shows the results of classical molecular dynamics modeling for the interaction between spherical nano abrasive and substrate in chemical mechanical polishing processes. Atomistic modeling was achieved from 3-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations using the Morse potential functions for chemical mechanical polishing. The abrasive dynamics was modeled by three cases, such as slipping, rolling, and rotating. Simulation results showed that the different dynamics of the abrasive results the different features of surfaces. The simulation concerning polishing pad, abrasive particles and the substrate has same results.

The mechanism of the ionized cluster beam deposition has been studied using Molecular Dynamics Simulation. The Embedded Atom Method(EAM) potential were used in the simulation. The impact of a Au95-cluster on Au(100) substrate was studied for the impact energies 0.15-10eV/atom. The dependency of the impact energy of cluster beam was observed. For the cluster energy impact of 10eV per atom, the defects on surface were created and the cluster embedded into substrate as an amorphous state. For the energy of 0.5eV per atom, the defect free homoepitaxial growth was observed and atomic scale nucleation was formated, which are in good agreement with experiment. Thus molecular dynamics simulation is very useful to study the mechanism of the ionized cluster beam deposition.

The initial growth mode of Nb on Ag(11) in sub-monolayer regime and the influence of subsequent 520K annealing are studied using UHV Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. E-beam evaporated Nb is deposited onto the substrate at RT, and STM measurements are carried out at RT and 78 K. With Nb being immiscible in bulk Ag, 3D islands formation begins at early stage and no particular ordered structure is found. After annealing to 520K, most of islands are disappeared from terrace. There exist 2 possibilities. : (1) Diffusion of Nb into the 2nd or 3rd layer of Ag substrate or (2) agglomeration of Nb on Ag at higher temperature. A model will be given to explain the evidence. In addition, we investigated the change of STM image according to bias voltage depending on island size. Possible physical mechanism responsible for such behavior together with interaction between Nb islands and reactive gases will be also discussed.
