현재 태양전지 시장은 결정질 태양전지가 주류를 차지하고 있으며 이중 상대적으로 재료비가 저렴한 다결정 실리콘 기반의 고효율 태양전지 제작에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 표면 텍스처링 방법에 따른 태양전지 소자의 특성 변화에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 일반적으로 다결정 태양전지의 경우 산성용액을 이용한 표면 텍스처링을 실시하는데 이 경우 표면에 형성된 텍스처 구조는 산성용액의 등방성 식각으로 인해 반구(Hemisphere) 형태의 구조를 띄게 된다. 이는 표면에서의 광흡수율을 떨어뜨려 태양전지 소자의 효율을 저해하는 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위해 레이저를 이용한 차세대 텍스처링 방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 우선 355 nm 파장의 Ultra-Violet (UV) 레이저를 소자 표면에 조사함으로써 $10{\mu}m$의 dot diameter와 depth를 갖는 honey comb 배열의 hole을 형성하였다. 이후 산성용액에 담가 레이저 공정 후의 slag를 제거해 최종적으로 피라미드 형태의 구조를 형성하였다. Suns_Voc 효율 측정 결과 산성용액을 이용한 텍스처링의 경우 개방 전압이 611 mV, 곡선인자가 81%, 효율이 17.32%로 각각 측정되었다. 반면, 레이저 텍스처링의 경우에서는 개방전압이 631 mV, 곡선인자가 83%, 효율이 18.33%로 용액 텍스처링 방법보다 우수한 특성을 보였다. 이는 UV 레이저 텍스처링을 통해 형성된 피라미드 형태의 표면 구조에서의 광흡수율이 산성용액을 이용한 방법보다 우수함을 말하며, 따라서 태양전지의 주요 파라미터가 향상된 결과를 보였다. 본 실험에서는 레이저 텍스처링을 통한 태양전지 제작에 대한 방법을 제시하며, 향후 고효율의 다결정 태양전지 제작에 있어 기여 할 것으로 판단된다.

To overcome the shortage of conventional TWC that is activated at high temperature, higher than 25$0^{\circ}C$, photocatalyst is considered as an new technology. Because the photocatalytic reaction of photocatalyst is not a thermo mechanical reaction, it is necessary to heat the system to start the reaction. It can be activated just by ultra violet light that includes wavelengths shorter than 400 nanometers even at ambient temperature. In this study photocatalytic reduction of hydrocarbon was investigated with a model gas test. To understand the effects of co-existence gases on the hydrocarbon reduction by photoreaction, CO and NO, $O_2, H_2O$ gases those are components of exhaust gases of gasoline engine are supplied with C3H8/N2 to a photoreactor. The photoreactor contains $TiO_2$ photocatalyst powders and a UV bulb. The results show that oxygen is the most important factor to reduce HC emission with photocatalyst. Photocatalyst seems to have a good probability for automotive application to reduce cold start HC emissions.

Thioctic acid is a vitamin-like antioxidant which is prepared as tablets and injection. The Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP XI) contains monograph for the quality control of raw thioctic acid using ultra-violet visible spectrophotometry and its formulations using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In British Pharmacopoeia 2013 (BP2013), another HPLC method is used for the assay test of thioctic acid material. For the international harmonization, we present an HPLC method for quantitation of thioctic acid in both raw material and tablets. Method validation was performed to determine linearity, precision, accuracy, system suitability, and robustness. The linearity of calibration curves in the desired concentration range was high ($r^2=0.9995$), while the RSDs for intra- and inter-day precision were 0.93 ~ 1.26 % and 1.40 ~ 1.76 %, respectively. Accuracies ranged from 98.13-100.00 %. Since the system suitability, intermediate-precision and robustness of the assay were satisfactory, this method will be a valuable addition to the Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP XI).

Chlorella vulgaris, a genus of single-cell green algae, is considered to be a very essential resource for the higher value-added business including functional food and biodiesel, due to its high contents of protein, carbohydrate and lipid. In this study, ultraviolet rays were irradiated in order to induce the mutation of C. vulgaris. After inducing the mutation, UV1-20 mutant, high in lipid was selected and its cell growth rate, dry weight, pigment content and lipid content were measured. The growth rate of the UV1-20 mutant was increased almost 1.5 times than the wild type, but pigment contents of chlorophyll and carotinoid were decreased. In addition, the lipid content of UV1-20 was increased 1.8 times than the wild type. Therefore, C. vulgaris mutant, isolated in this study, is considered to have sufficient potential to be used as a material for the higher value-added business.

The purpose of this study was to find out the factors of Knowledge and attitudes related to sun safety and to determine the factors affecting sun protection behavior. The subjects were 167 adults in their twenties living in Busan. The results were as follows. 1. Four factors of knowledge about sun safety were identified: ultraviolet ray risk, sunscreen, sun protective clothing, and nil protective color. 2. Four factors of attitudes toward sun exposure were identified: attractiveness, emotion, conformity, and health concern. 3. Four factors of sun protection behavior were identified: sunscreen/parasol, shade, hat/sunglasses, and sun protective clothing. 4. Compared to women, men were relatively more risk to skin damage due to less proportion that used sunscreen and a parasol. 5. Factors of sun protective behavior, such as sunscreen/parasol, shade, hat/sunglasses, and sun protective clothing, were associated with the Knowledge related to ultraviolet ray risk. 6. Wearing a hat and sunglasses was predicted by the attractiveness, which defined as positive attitudes toward tanned appearance. 7. Shade use was affected by the perception of sun exposure as happiness and relaxing. 8. Health concern was the strongest predictor of sunscreen/parasol use.

Emission characteristics of terbium-activated $InBO_3$ under cathode-ray(c.r.) and vacuum ultra violet(v.u.v.) irradiation have been investigated as a functions of norminal compositions and firing conditions. From the x-ray analysis, it was found that some of the synthesized samples contained excess $In_2O_3$ and the amount of the excess $In_2O_3$ varied with the norminal composition and heat treatment conditions. The samples with remanent excess $In_2O_3$ showed lower luminescence intensities than the ones free of excess $In_2O_3$. The phosphors of norminal composition of $InBO_3+10mol%B_2O_3:2mol%Tb$ synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$ showed excellent CL and PL properties.

Painting is well regarded as a stratified structure by the conservators and restorers. Hence, the scientific methods have been developed for the study of the interal layer of paintings. Examples of such methods are X-ray, infra-red, and ultra-violet photography. A more direct method is to look at the painting in cross section under the microscope and to analyze pigments using an electron probe X-ray micro analyzer(EPMA).In this research, I study and analyze twenty two Korean paintings of self-portraits including the first oil painting of Hui Dong Koh's self-portrait stored in the museum of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, employing these scientific techniques. The small fragments taken from the ground layers of the early oil paintings(1915∼1942)are analyzed using the EPMA. According to their main materials, the ground layers can be classified into five types ; 1. Lead white layer and double layer of calcium carbonate and lead white, 2. Zinc white with some mixiture of lead white, 3.Titanium white with some barium white, 4. Barium white, 5.Double layer of titanium white and zinc white.

넓은 밴드갭 (3.37eV)과 높은 엑시톤 결합에너지 (60meV)를 가지는 ZnO 물질은 ultra violet light 센서 및 light emitting diode (LED)의 재료로써 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 나노와이어 구조를 이용하여 소자를 만들 경우 양자효과와 1차원적 캐리어 수송경로 효과로 인하여 그 특성을 보다 향상 시킬 수 있다. 나노와이어를 이용한 이종접합 p-n 다이오드를 제작하기 위하여 ZnO와 격자상수가 비슷한 GaN, NiO, CoO와 같은 물질들이 나노구조 접합에 많이 쓰이고 있지만, 격자상수 차이로 인해서 접합부분 캐리어 수송효율이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. n-type과 p-type ZnO를 만들어 동종 접합을 만들 경우 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있지만, 도핑되지 않은 ZnO가 n-type을 특성을 나타내기 때문에 안정적인 p-type ZnO 합성에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 안정적인 p-type ZnO 합성을 위해서 수열합성법을 이용하여 phosphorus (P) 도핑을 하였고, 나노와이어 diode 구조를 만들었다. P 도핑으로 인한 격자상수 변화는 x-ray diffraction (XRD)를 사용하여 확인하였고, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)를 통해 도핑 원소를 분석하였으며, 이때의 recification ratio, turn-on voltage 등의 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

A five mirror system with a reduction magnification(M=+1/5) is designed for DUV optical lithography. Initially, numerical solutions of all zero 3rd order aberrations and zero 5th order spherical aberration are obtained for the spherical mirror system. Next, by the optimization method, the aspherization is carried out to the two spherical mirrors to obtain a system that has as less residual aberrations, higher NA and improved MTF as possible. We have finally obtained the system of which NA is 0.45 and the resolution is about 500 cycles/mm at the 50% MTF value criterion and the depth of focus of $1.0{\mu}m$ for the nearly incoherent illumination$({\sigma}=1.0)$ and the wavelength of 0.248 m(KrF excimer laser line).

The discharge characteristics of pulse-driven coplanar micro barrier discharges for an ultraviolet (UV) light source using Ne-Xe mixture have been investigated using a two-dimensional fluid simulation at near-atmospheric pressure. The densities of electrons, the radiative excited states, the metastable excited states, and the power loss are investigated with the variations of gas pressure and the gap distance. With a fixed gap distance, the number of the radiative states $Xe^*(^3P_1)$ increases with the increasing driving voltage, but this number shows weak dependency on the gas when that pressure is over 400 Torr. However, the number of the radiative states increases with the increase of the gap distance at a fixed voltage, while the power loss decreases. Therefore, a long gap discharge has higher efficiency for UV generation than does a short gap discharge. A slight change in the electrode tilt angle enhances the number of radiative species 2 or 3 times with the same operation conditions. Therefore, the intensity and efficiency of the UV light source can be controlled independently by changing the gap distance and the electrode structure.
