In this study, partially dry transfer is investigated to solve the problem of fully dry transfer. Partially dry transfer is a method in which multiple layers of graphene are dry-transferred over a wet-transferred graphene layer. At a wavelength of 550 nm, the transmittance of the partially dry-transferred graphene is seen to be about 3% higher for each layer than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene. Furthermore, the sheet resistance of the partially drytransferred graphene is relatively lower than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene, with the minimum sheet resistance being 179 Ω/sq. In addition, the fully dry-transferred graphene is easily damaged during the solution process, so that the performance of the organic photovoltaics (OPV) does not occur. In contrast, the best efficiency achievable for OPV using the partially dry-transferred graphene is 2.37% for 4 layers.

In this study, a method to remove residual powder on a multi-layered graphene and a new approach to transfer multi-layered graphene at once are studied. A graphene one-step transfer (GOST) method is conducted to minimize the residual powder comparison with a layer-by-layer transfer. Furthermore, a residual powder removing process is investigated to remove residual powder at the top of a multi-layered graphene. After residual powder is removed, the sheet resistance of graphene is decreased from 393 to 340 Ohm/sq in a four-layered graphene. In addition, transmittance slightly increases after residual powder is removed from the top of the multi-layered graphene. Optical and atomic-force microscopy images are used to analyze the graphene surface, and the Ra value is reduced from 5.2 to 3.7 nm following residual powder removal. Therefore, GOST and residual powder removal resolve the limited application of graphene electrodes due to residual powder.

우리나라 최초의 남극 기지인 세종과학기지가 위치한 킹조지섬은 남극해류에 영향으로 강수량이 많고 날씨가 급변하며 남위 62도에 위치하여 남반구의 여름엔 비교적 온도가 높은 편이다. 많은 강수량과 높은 온도의 영향으로 식생의 분포가 넓으며 종류도 다양하다. 연구지역의 대표적인 식생으로는 이끼(사니오니아)와 지의류(오크롤레키아, 우스니아)가 있는데 이 생물들은 지하의 수분분포에 따라 많은 영향을 받는다. 연구지역은 신생대 초기에서 중기 사이에 발생한 화산 쇄설물과 퇴적물로 이루어져 있으며 수분 공급처는 크게 세 가지로 직접적인 강수, 빙하가 녹은 물과 대기의 단열팽창현상인데 올해 2월 중순 총 강수량은 5.7mm로 남극의 여름철에는 특히 빙하가 녹은 물에 영향이 가장 크다. 연구지역의 이끼 서식지는 빙하에 가까우며 지의류에 서식지는 해안쪽으로 분포한다. 이것이 지하 내부의 수분분포와 관련된 것으로 가정 후 땅이 가장 많이 녹은 시기인 2018년 2월 중순에 측선 길이는 40m이며 1m 전극 간격의 웨너배열법을 사용한 전기비저항탐사, 주파수 500MHz 안테나를 사용한 레이다탐사를 실시하였다. 동토층의 깊이가 얕게는 0.8m부터 깊게는 1.5m로 많은 차이를 보였는데 동토층의 깊이가 수분량에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 특정 위치의 활동층 내에 존재한 두께 5~7cm 가량의 퇴적층 또한 동토층에 영향을 주었고 지표의 구조토 형성에도 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.

In this study, we investigate the effect of the diffusion barrier and substrate temperature on the length of carbon nanotubes. For synthesizing vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, thermal chemical vapor deposition is used and a substrate with a catalytic layer and a buffer layer is prepared using an e-beam evaporator. The length of the carbon nanotubes synthesized on the catalytic layer/diffusion barrier on the silicon substrate is longer than that without a diffusion barrier because the diffusion barrier prevents generation of silicon carbide from the diffusion of carbon atoms into the silicon substrate. The deposition temperature of the catalyst and alumina are varied from room temperature to 150°C, 200°C, and 250°C. On increasing the substrate temperature on depositing the buffer layer on the silicon substrate, shorter carbon nanotubes are obtained owing to the increased bonding force between the buffer layer and silicon substrate. The reason why different lengths of carbon nanotubes are obtained is that the higher bonding force between the buffer layer and the substrate layer prevents uniformity of catalytic islands for synthesizing carbon nanotubes.
