- Study on Dirac Electrons in a Dodecagonal Graphene Quasicrystal
- Study on Dirac Electrons in a Dodecagonal Graphene Quasicrystal Construction of a 4-dimensional space on a 2-dimensional material Physics Prof.AHN, JOUNGREAL, Dr. AHN, Sung Jun Quasicrystal is an unusual structure of solid that was first experimentally observed in the 1980s by Nobel Laureate Dan Shechtman. In a typical solid, the constituent elements are arranged with a certain periodicity called a lattice structure, and in this case, it has both translational and rotational symmetry. However, quasicrystals have a distinct structure with only rotational symmetry, and have fractal structure with self-similarity. In addition, there have been many theoretical and experimental studies on the interaction between two graphene layers, but unusual physical phenomena such as Mott insulator and superconducting phenomenon have been reported in the academic community until recently. We have recently published a study on two-dimensional quasicrystal using two graphene layers in accordance with these research trends. In this study, instead of stacking of separated two graphene layers, two-dimensional graphene quasicrystals could be synthesized by epitaxially growing two graphene layers having a rotation angle of 30 degrees. Then we first discovered a special quasicrystal with Dirac Fermions. The synthesized graphene quasicrystals were confirmed to have 12-fold symmetry and fractal structure which are not seen in general crystal structure as shown in the attached figure. It is expected that the physics in 4-dimensional space represented by 4D quantum Hall effect can be observed through this two-dimensional graphene quasicrystal. This research was published in Science on August 24, 2018 and was selected as a cover paper. Science 24 Aug 2018: Vol. 361, Issue 6404, pp. 782-786 DOI: 10.1126/science.aar8412

- Prof. Jung of SKKU, Nano Optical Measurement Finds the World's First Defective Signal in Two-Dimensional Semiconductors
- Professor Jung Moon-Seok of SKKU, Nano Optical Measurement Finds the World's First Defective Signal in Two-Dimensional Semiconductors Posted on October 23 in ACS Nano, the most prestigious international journal in the field of nanoscience Professor Jung Moon-Seok said that he detected the defect-related Raman scattering signal of tungsten disulfide (WS2), a two-dimensional single layer semiconductor, using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) *. The team used probe-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), which is capable of both surface nanostructure analysis and optical experimentation, to detect new signals that were not previously observed in areas with many defects. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that this signal is a vacancy defect of one of the semiconductor defects, sulfur (S) atoms. This study was supported by the Korea Research Foundation. The study results were published on October 23 in ACS Nano, one of the most prestigious international journals in the field of nanoscience published by the American Chemical Society. * link 1) https://news.joins.com/article/23064336 2) http://www.dhnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=87237 3) http://www.veritas-a.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=131710

- Rebirth of metal. graphene is reborn with atom rearrangement technology
- Rebirth of metal. graphene is reborn with atom rearrangement technology If the basic unit of matter is an atom, then the basic unit of the manufacturing industry is the 'material'. This is why science and industry are concentrating on the development of new materials that utilize the characteristics of various materials. However, metals such as graphene have a way to further improve their performance. Aligning the atomic arrangement of the material in one direction creates a single crystal metal. The Ministry of Science and Technology announced on 18 that Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Multidimensional Carbon Materials research group Rodney have developed a technique for manufacturing high-value single-crystal metal foils from existing metal foils. The research, which was jointly conducted by Shin Hyung-joon, Professor of Ulsan Science and Technology and Professor Yu Won-jong of Sungkyunkwan University, was published on the 19th. Although monocrystalline metal foil has a uniform surface and higher electrical conductivity than polycrystalline foil, it has a limitation in that it is expensive to manufacture and can not be manufactured in a large area. The researchers have developed a new manufacturing technology called contact-free annealing, which has succeeded in fabricating single-crystal metal foils of up to 32㎠ at a cost one-thousandth lower than previously. Performance has also improved. In fact, the researchers fabricated monocrystalline copper and found that the current is 7% better than before. The produced single crystal metal itself is a new material, but it can also serve as a 'casting mold' for growing other metals. In fact, the researchers produced monocrystalline graphene with a single crystal copper-nickel alloy foil. Prof. Rodney said “We have demonstrated that we can easily convert a variety of metals into single crystals.” and “We expect silicon single crystal growth technology to be applied to various fields and change the world.” Reporter Heo Jung Won : heo.jeongwon@joongang.co.kr Article : https://news.joins.com/article/23050949

- Prof. Kim Department of Nano Science and Technology, Control of metal nanoparticles by protein engineering technique
- Professor Kim, Yong Ho Department of Nano Science and Technology, Control of metal nanoparticles by protein engineering technique "ACS Nano" (Impact Factor: 13.709), a study on the control of electrical properties of nanobio-materials by controlling multi-dimensional alignment structure of metal nanoparticles through protein engineering technique performed by Prof. Yong-Ho Kim of Nano Science and Technology. It was posted online on the 29th. The title of the paper is "Peptide-Programmable Nanoparticle Superstructures with Tailored Electrocatalytic Activity". It is a research result that it is possible to control the catalytic activity by dispersing carbon nanotubes which are strong in self-cohesion and hard to disperse by protein design technique and by regulating the size and size of metal nanoparticles to grow specifically. Conventional carbon nanotubes do not dissolve in organic solvents, and they are difficult to disperse due to aggregation phenomenon that spontaneously gather and are toxic and difficult to use. Professor Yong Ho Kim synthesized metal nanoparticle-peptide supramolecules. and He confirmed that metal nanoparticles can be formed regularly on nanomaterials by using 3D-Tomography, which is a state-of-the-art technology capable of real-time imaging of a three-dimensional structure. Professor Yong-Ho Kim said, "The results of this study suggest the possibility of developing electrochemical sensor through nanoparticle-protein self-assembled structure, which is expected to contribute to the development of new nanobiotechnical materials and the development of new conductive protein-based materials."
