Monolayers of lipids on a water surface have attracted much interest as models of biological membranes, but also as precursors of multilayer systems promising many technical applications. Until now, many methodologies have been developed in order to gain a better understand. Photoisomerization in monolayers of a novel azobenzene compound, azobenzene dendrimer, was investigated for the first time by means of the absorption spectrum and Maxwell displacement current (MDC) technique. Dendrimers are well-defined macromolecules exhibiting a tree-like structure, first derived by the cascade molecule approach. According to the absorption spectrum, trans-to-cis conversion ratio was estimated to the third generation of azobenzene dendrimer deposited onto a glass substrate. Temperature-dependent induced charge with trans-cis isomerization was also measured by means of MDC technique.

A magnetic film was deposited on a slide glass substrate from aqueous solutions of $FeCl_2$ and $NaNO_2$ at 363 K. XRD analysis showed that the film was polycrystalline magnetite $(Fe_{3(1-{\sigma})}O_4)$ without impurity phase. The lattice constant was 0.8390 nm. Mossbauer spectrum of the film could be deconvoluted by the following parameters: isomer shifts for tetrahedral $(T_d)$ and octahedral $(O_h)$ sites are 0.28 and 0.68 mm/s, respectively, and corresponding magnetic hyperfine fields are 490 and 458 kOe, respectively. The estimated chemical formula of the film by the peak intensity of Mossbauer spectrum was $Fe_{2.95}O_4$. Low temperature transition of the magnetite (Verwey transition) was not detected in resistivity measurement of the film. Properties of the film were discussed with those of pressed pellet and single crystal of synthetic magnetites. On the surface of the film, magnetite particles of about 0.2 μm in diameter were identified by noncontact atomic force microscopy (NAFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM).

Y doped zinc oxide (YZO) thin films were deposited on F doped $SnO_2$ (FTO) glass substrate by sol-gel method using the spin-coating system. A homogeneous and stable solution was prepared by dissolving acetate in the solution added diethanolamine as sol-gel stabilizer. YZO films were obtained after preheated on the hot-plate for 5minute before each coating; the number of coating was 3 times. After the coating of last step, annealing of YZO films performed at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 minute. In order to confirming of a ultraviolet ray interruption and down-conversion effects, optical properties of YZO films, transmission spectrum and fluorescent spectrum were used. Also, for understanding the obtained results by experiment, the elestronic state of YZO was calculated using the density functional theory The results obtained by experiment were compared with calculated structure. The detail of electronic structure was obtained by the discrete variational Xa (DV-Xa) method, which is a sort of molecular orbital full potential method. The density of state and energy levels of dopant element were shown and discussed in association with optical properties.

Bulk GaN single crystal with 1.5 mm thickness was successfully grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) technique. Free-standing GaN substrates of $10{\times}10,\;15{\times}15$ mm size were fabricate after lift-off of sapphire substrate and their optical properties were characterized properties for device applications. X-ray diffraction patterns showed (002) and (004) peak, and the FWHM of the X-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurement in (002) was 98 arcsec. A sharp photoluminescence spectrum at 363 nm was observed and defect spectrum at visible range was not detected. The hexagonal-shaped etch-pits are formed on the GaN surface in $200^{\circ}C\;H_3PO_4$ at 5 minutes. The defect density calculated from observed etch-pits on surface was around $5{\times}10^6/cm^2$. This indicates that the fabricated GaN substrates can be used for applications in the field of optodevice, and high power electronics.

The stability and electrochemical properties of a self-assembled layer of spinach ferredoxin on a quartz substrate and on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrode were investigated. To fabricate the ferredoxin self-assembly layer, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine was first deposited onto a substrate for ferredoxin immobilization. Surface analysis of the ferredoxin layer was carried out by atomic force microscopy to verify the ferredoxin immobilization. To verify ferredoxin immobilization on the lipid layer and to confirm the maintenance of redox activity, absorption spectrum measurement was carried out. Finally, cyclic-voltammetry measurements were performed on the ferredoxin layers and the redox potentials were obtained. The redox potential of immobilized ferredoxin had a formal potential value of -540 mV. It is suggested that the redox-potential measurement of self-assembled ferredoxin molecules could be used to construct a biosensor and biodevice.

Diamond films were deposited on the cemented tungsten carbide WC-Co cutting insert substrates by using both microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition(MWPCVD) and radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition (RFPCVD) from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the microstructure and phase analysis of the materials and Raman spectrometry was used to characterize the quality of the diamond coating. Diamond films deposited using MWPCVD from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture show a dense, uniform, well faceted and polycrystalline morphology. The compressive stress in the diamond film was estimated to be (1.0∼3.6)$\pm$0.9 GPa. Diamond films which were deposited on the WC-Co cutting insert substrates by RFPCVD from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture show relatively good adhesion, very uniform, dense and polycrystalline morphology.

The synthesis and characterization of polymers for organic Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) devices were investigated from LB films. The physicochemical properties of the LB films were examined by UV absorption spectrum and AFM. The AFM images showed for network structure of polyurethane monolayer that the film formed an unsymmetry mesh with intermolecular interaction within the large scale. The stable images are probably due to a strong interaction between the monolayer film and Si substrate. We are unable to obtain molecular resolution in images of the films but did see a marked contrast between images of the bare substrate and those with the network structure film deposited onto it.

Al doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which is widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of the substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time on the electrical, optical and morphological properties were investigated experimentally. ZnO:Al films with the optimum growth conditions of working gas pressure and substrate temperature showed resistivity of $9.64{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}$-cm and transmittance of 90.02% for a film 860nm thick in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum.

We demonstrate the possible application of the sandwich type surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay using antigen-antibody binding for detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in cancer cells. In this sandwich type of SERS immunoassay, to capture antigens onto the immobilized layer of antibodies on the gold substrate we prepared the monolayer of gold nanoparticles on the APTMS-derivatized surface of a glass slide by using the SAM technique. This sandwich type of SERS immunoassay in which antigens on the substrate specifically capture antibodies on a Raman reporter (DSNB coated gold nanoparticles with R6G) could successfully detect PSA at low levels. A strong SERS spectrum of Raman reporter was observed only with a substrate in which PSA is present.
