- Department of Energy Science Prof. Sungwng Kim, Achieving Synthesis of 2-Dimensional Electride
- Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning achieved predicting existence of new 2-demensional electride with computaional science and through this, it is the first time in the world, synthesizing 2-dimensional electride that reveals magnetic forces only with elements not having magnetic properties. The electride is advanced concept material that consists of interstitial electrons. In general, the properties of material are decided by orbital electrons. However, those of electride material are decided by interstitial electrons that exist in real space inside of material built by combinations between elements. Research team predicted electride which of electrons do not scatter in 2-dimentional place, but spontaneously gather with computer technology based on date-mining, and identified electride having magnetic forces with synthesis of elements not having magnetic forces. This research is conducted with support of Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning by SKKU Prof. Sungwng Kim research group through collaboration with internal and external researchers such as USA Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Mississippi State University, Kunsan University, Kangwon University, ect. The research results were published on Journal of the American Chemical Society(IF 13.083) online ver.

- Prof. Younghee Lee, explained how 2D materials break at the atomic level
- Explaining How 2D Materials Break at the Atomic Level - IBS physicists found that to shed light on the cracking of MoS2, we must go beyond the theory used so far -Cracks sank the 'unsinkable' Titanic; decrease the performance of touchscreens and erode teeth. We are familiar with cracks in big or small three-dimensional (3D) objects, but how do thin two-dimensional (2D) materials crack? 2D materials, like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have emerged as an important asset for future electronic and photoelectric devices. However, the mechanical properties of 2D materials are expected to differ greatly from 3D materials. Scientists at the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics (CINAP), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) published, on Nature Communications, the first observation of 2D MoS2 cracking at the atomic level. This study is expected to contribute to the applications of new 2D materials. Obviously when a certain force is applied to a material a crack is created. Less obvious is how to explain and predict the shape and seriousness of a crack from a physics point of view. Scientists want to investigate which fractures are likely to expand and which are not .Materials are divided into ductile and brittle: Ductile materials, like gold, withstand large strains before rupturing; brittle materials, like glass, can absorb relatively little energy before breaking suddenly, without elongation and deformation. At the nano-level atoms move freer in ductile materials than in brittle materials; so in the presence of a pulling force (tensile stress) they can go out of position from the ordered crystal structure, or in technical terms - they dislocate. So far, this explanation (Griffith model) has been applied to cracking phenomena in bulk, but it lacks experimental data at the atomic or nano-scale. In this study, IBS scientists observed how cracks propagate on 2D MoS2 after a pore was formed either spontaneously or with an electron beam. "The most difficult point {of the experiments} was to use the electron beam to create the pore without generating other defects or breaking the sample," explains Thuc Hue Ly, first author of this study. "So we had to be fast and use a minimum amount of energy." The atomic observations were done using real-time transmission electron microscopy. Surprisingly, even though MoS2 is a brittle material, the team saw atom dislocations 3-5 nanometers (nm) away from the front line of the crack, or crack tip. This observation cannot be explained with the Griffith model. ▲ Schematic representation of the crack propagation in 2D MoS2 at the atomic level. Dislocations shown with red and purple dots are visible at the crack tip zone. Internal tensile stresses are represented by red arrows. In order to create conditions that represent the natural environment, the sample was exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This caused the MoS2 to oxidize; atom dislocations occurred more rapidly and the stretched region expanded to 5-10 nm from the crack tip. ▲ Transmission electron microscopy images of the progressing crack on a monolayer MoS2 sample after 10, 25 and 40 seconds. The T indicates the position of the atomic dislocations. "The study shows that cracking in 2D materials is fundamentally different from cracking in 3D ductile and brittle materials. These results cannot be explained with the conventional material failure theory, and we suggest that a new theory is needed," explained CINAP Professor LEE Young Hee. Letizia Diamante

- New Year’s Message from the President of SKKU, Kyu Sang CHUNG
- Dear Sungkyun Family! The eventful year of 2016 that saw many issues and changes within the country, has passed and the year of 2017 has come. Even in the middle of those difficult times, SKKU achieved many important national research projects including ‘Initiative for College of Humanities’ Research and Education (CORE)’, ‘Social Science Korea (SKK)’, ‘Scientific Research Center (SRC)’ and ‘Medical Research Center (MRC)’, ‘Global Research Lab (GRL)’, ‘Basic Research Lab (BRL)’, ‘Future Material Discovery Business’, ‘Ultra High Performance Computing Core Technology Development Business’, and ‘K-Startup Business’. Also 170 projects in SKKU were selected for the ‘Global Ph.D. Fellowship Business’, ‘Research Fellow Business’, and ‘Undergraduate Research Program Supporting Business’ which are considered projects for cultivating the next generation’s scholars. Furthermore, SKKU received fruitful results as the No.1 in NCSI for ten consecutive years, as well as the No.1 in the job employment rate. SKKU also have expand its brand value as a global leading university by receiving high rankings in various evaluations; placing 106th in QS world university rankings and 137th in THE. These elevated status helped to expand our exchanges and joint researches with world-renown universities and have become the milestone of SKKU’s development. I believe the outstanding results that SKKU has shown were achieved by our three-in-one system of university, foundation, and alumnus who have given their best efforts. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for all of the Sungkyun members: professors, staff, students, university foundation, and alumnus who gave their dedication and passion for the development of SKKU. In recent years, the environment for Korean universities has been changed rapidly. Especially, due to the sharp decrease in education population, the 4th industrial revolution, and adhesion of the low growth rate in the world, the educational environment has become more difficult. To go along with the current times of uncertainty, we need to keep an eye on changes and actively follow the trends; and we can even lead the stream of trends if we carry forward changes and innovation by awakening innovative DNA of SKKU members. It has already been two years since I began as President of SKKU. I will focus on the visualization of ‘Truly, Global Leading University’ based on the performance we have developed. Therefore, I would like to introduce the SKKU’s basic management policies for 2017. First, strengthening of creativity convergence smart education innovation Second, elevating SKKU’s status as a research frontier leading the generation Third, developing brand value as Global First Choice SKKU Forth, expanding the culture of communication, participation, and innovation in university management Fifth, creating university culture platform, including youth start-up culture I would like to ask for passion, active participation, and continuous innovation of all members in order to become a world top institution beyond the limits and crisis that our university is confronting. Again, thank you very much for all the supports and dedication; and I wish all of you good health, happiness, and success in the coming year. January 1st, 2017 Kyu Sang CHUNG, The President of SKKU
