  • Single-crystal like $MgB_2$ thin film was grown on (000l) $Al_2O_3$ substrate by using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) system. Single crystal properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (0001) $MgB_2$ peak is $15^{\circ}$, which is very close to that has been reported for $MgB_2$ single-crystal. It indicates that the crystalline quality of thin film is good. Temperature dependence on resistivity was investigated by physical property measurement system (PPMS) in various applied fields from 0 to 9 T. The upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) and irreversibility field ($H_{irr}$) were determined from PPMS data, and the estimated values are comparable with that of $MgB_2$ single-crystals. The thin film shows a high critical temperature ($T_c$) of 40.4 K with a sharp superconducting transition width of 0.2 K, and a high residual resistivity ratio (RRR=21), it reflects that $MgB_2$ thin film has a pure phase structure.

  • A perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics PMN is used as an important material to investigate the diffusive phase transition phenomena. In this study PMN single crystals were grown and the microstructure were observed. For the growth of PMN single crystals, the spontaneous nucleation technique and the TSSG technique were used. 2-5mm single crystals were grown from PbO self flux and it was observed that only PMN crystals were grown when excess MgO was added over 100% as flux. Single crystals with well developed (001) faces were obtained from PbO-B2O3 flux. single crystals larger than 1 cm were grown from PbO-B2O3 flux by TXXG technique. For higher quality crystals, optimization of the variables such as the rotation speed of seed crystal, the orientation of seed crystal, and cooling rate is needed. With grown crystals, it was confirmed by TEM diffraction pattern of thin plate crystal that the 1:1 ordering of Mg2+ and Nb5+ with small volume exists.

  • High-quality single crystals of pure $Li_2B_4O_7$ as well as $Li_2B_4O_7$ doped with Cu, Mn and Mg impurities (1.0mol%, respectively) have been grown from the melt of $Li_2CO_3+2B_2O_3$ by Czochralski method in platinum crucibles. To study the thermoluminescent properties, $Li_2B_4O_7$ series single crystal TLDs were made by cutting in the size of $4{\times}5{\times}1\;mm^3$. The glow curves show two or three peaks which can be easily deconvoluted. It is observed that room temperature($20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$) fadings of the dosimetric peaks of $Li_2B_4O_7$ series single crystal TLDs were about 10 % for 30 days. The relative photon energy response for $Li_2B_4O_7$ series single crystal TLDs were about 85 % when the responses were normalized to that measured with $^{60}Co\;(1.25\;MeV)\;{\gamma}-rays$. The measured data are in a good agreement with theoretical ones. The $Li_2B_4O_7$ series single crystal TLDs fabricated in this work can be used for monitoring personal and environmental radioactivity.

  • Using the $PbO-B_2O_3-Bi_2O_3$ flux system, $(TbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(TbIG)$, $(EuBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuIG)$ and $(EuTbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuTbIG)$ films were grown on $(GdCa)_3(GaMgZr)_5O_{12}(SGGG)$ substrates by the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The saturation magnetization of the grown TbIG, EuIG and EuTbIG films was about 150, 950 and 125 Oe, respectively. The TbIG films resulted in the single magnetic domain while the EuIG and EuTbIG films were observed to be the multi magnetic domains by magnetic force microscope (MFM).

  • A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $MgGa_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $MgGa_2Se_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $610^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $MgGa_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=2.34 eV-(8.81{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+251K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $MgGa_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 190.6 meV and 118.8 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $MgGa_2Se_4$/GaAs epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1^-}$, $B_{1^-}$exciton for n = 1 and $C_{27}-exciton$ peaks for n = 27.
