  • 디스플레이는 다수의 가로 전극과 세로 전극으로 구성되고, 전극에 신호를 주어 동작하도록 하는 원리이다. 이 디스플레이에는 전기가 통하고 투명한 전극이 필수적으로 사용되고 있고, 대표적인 투명 전극으로 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)가 있다. ITO 박막은 $In_2O_3$에 Sn을 첨가하여 $Sn^{4+}$ 이온이 $In^{3+}$ 이온을 치환하고 이 과정에서 잉여 전자가 전기전도에 기여하는 구조이다. ITO 박막은 표면 처리 방법에 따라 표면 상태가 크게 변화한다. 플라즈마를 이용한 표면 처리는 환경오염이 적으며 강도, 탄성률 등과 같은 재료의 기계적 특성을 변화시키지 않으면서 표면 특성만을 변화시킬 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다[1]. UV (Ultraviolet)를 조사한 표면처리는 ITO 표면의 탄소를 제거하고, 표면 쌍극자를 형성하며, 표면의 조성을 변화시킬 수 있으며, 페르미 에너지 준위를 이동시킬 수 있어 ITO의 일함수를 증가시킬 수 있다[2]. ITO에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되었음에도 불구하고 보다 다양한 관점에서의 연구가 지속될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 조건으로 표면 처리한 ITO 표면의 일함수, 면저항, 표면 형상, 평탄도, 접촉각 등에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 세정한 ITO, 세정 후 UV 처리한 ITO (UV 처리 시간 2분, 4분 6분, 8분), 세정 후 $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar의 공정 가스를 사용하여 Plasma 처리한 ITO로 표면 처리 조건을 변화하였다. 표면 처리한 ITO의 특성은 Kelvin Probe를 이용한 일함수, 물방울 형상의 각도를 측정한 접촉각, AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)을 이용한 평탄도, 가시광선 (380~780 nm) 파장에 대한 투과도와 면저항을 측정하였다. 접촉각은 세정한 ITO의 경우 $45.5^{\circ}$에서 세정 후 UV를 조사한 ITO의 경우 UV 8분 조사 시 $27.86^{\circ}$로 감소하였고, $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 Plasma 처리한 ITO는 모두 $10^{\circ}$ 미만을 나타내었다. 플라즈마 처리에 의하여 접촉각이 현저하게 개선되었다. ITO의 면저항은 표면 처리 조건에 따라 $9.620{\sim}9.903{\Omega}/{\square}$로 그 차이가 매우 적어 표면처리에 의하여 면저항의 변화는 없는 것으로 판단된다. 가시광선 영역에서의 투과도는 공정 조건에 따라 87.59 ~ 89.39%로 그 차이가 적어 표면처리에 의한 변화를 나타내지는 않은 것으로 판단된다. 표면 처리 조건에 따른 평탄도 $R_{rms}$는 세정한 ITO의 경우 4.501 nm로부터 UV 2, 4, 6, 8분 처리한 경우 2.797, 2.659, 2.538, 2.584 nm로 평탄도가 개선되었다. $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 플라즈마 처리한 ITO의 경우 평탄도 $R_{rms}$는 2.49, 4.715, 4.176 nm로 사용한 가스의 종류에 따라 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 표면 처리 조건에 따른 평탄도 Ra는 세정한 ITO의 경우 3.521 nm로부터 UV 2, 4, 6, 8분 처리한 경우 1.858, 1.967, 1.896, 1.942 nm를, $N_2$, $O_2$, Ar 가스를 사용하여 플라즈마 처리한 ITO의 경우는 1.744, 3.206, 3.251 nm로 평탄도 $R_{rms}$와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

  • A series of samples in the $Nd_{1-x}Ba_xFeO_{3-y}$ system has been prepared by heating the reactants to$1200^{\circ}C$ under an ambient atmosphere, and the solid solutions were identified by X-ray power diffraction analysis. The crystal systems of samples with x = 0.00 and 0.25 were found to be orthorhombic whose local symmetry is similiar to the distorted octahedral with orthoferrite type one, whereas those with x = 0.50 and 0.75 to be the cubic system. Since Fe ions in the solid solutions are a mixed valence state between $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{4+}$ ions, the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas could be determined from the mole ratio of $Fe^{4+}$ ion and oxygen vacacies. According to the Mossbauer spectroscopic analysis, the presence of 5-coordinated $FeO_5$ was evidenced only in the barium compounds along with $FeO_6,\;and\;FeO_4$, but not in the strontium and calcium compounds. The samples with x = 0.25 and 0.50 show a spectrum of superparamagnetism, which might be due to the formation of a domain of the ferromagnetic interaction between the $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{4+}$ ions. The electrical conductivities of all samples are within semiconducting range. Since the $Fe^{4+}$ ion acts as an electron acceptor level during the electron transfer between the Fe through intermediate $O^{2-}$ ions, the activation energy of the compounds decreases with the increment of $Fe^{4+}$ content.

  • Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect is known to be the physical origin for various exotic magnetic phenomena in the low-dimensional systems. Recently, SOC also draws lots of attention in the study on magnetically doped thermoelectric alloys to determine their properties as the thermoelectric application as well as the topological insulator via the exact electronic structures determination near the Fermi level. In this research, aiming to investigate the spin-orbit coupling effect on the structural properties such as the lattice constants and the bulk modulus of the most widely investigated thermoelectric host material, $Bi_2Te_3$, we carried out the first-principles electronic structure calculation using the all-electron FLAPW (full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave) method. Employing both the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the structural optimization is achieved by varying the in-plane lattice constant fixing the perpendicular lattice constant and vice versa, to find that the SOC effect increases the equilibrium lattices slightly in both directions while it markedly reduces the bulk modulus value implying the strong orientational dependence, which are attributed to the material's intrinsic structural anisotropy.

  • The non-combustible RI wastes disposed of in hospital every year emit ${\gamma}$-ray or ${\beta}$-ray but their activities are very low to the extent of background. Development of more simple methods is needed because the conventional detection methods are so ineffective and complex. In this study, to solve this problem, detection method using efficiency curve for ${\gamma}$-ray emitting radioactive wastes measurement is proposed and experimental detection efficiency equation is also determined through HPGe's standard specimen measurement. For ${\beta}$-emitting radioisotopes detection, new measurement method using detection efficiency estimated by Monte Carlo simulation and SBD measurements is also proposed. According to the results of this paper, the unknown activity of low-level radioactive wastes without LSC requiring the preparation of standard sample and measurement for standard source detection efficiency could be determined efficiently and simply about ${\pm}17%$ in errors by using the theoretical detection efficiency and the SBD measurement result.

  • Extended H ckel Theory and CNDO/2 MO calculation methods have been applied to $C_6H_5YCH_2Cl$(Y = None, -$CH_2$-, -O-, -S-, -CO-, -$SO_2$-). It has been shown that charge distributions in molecules are mainly controlled by the migration of valence inactive electron, giving the order of ${\sigma}$-acceptor and ${\pi}$-donor effects -O- > -S- > -$CH_2$- > -$SO_2$-. The -CO- group exceptionally acts as ${\sigma}$-donor and ${\pi}$-acceptor. It was also predicted that, $S_N2$ reactivities of C$C_6H_5YCH_2Cl$ would be in the order of -O-${\thickapprox}$-CO- >>-S-${\thickapprox}$None > -$CH_2$-, neglecting solvent effect. From the results of our studies, we conclude that the structural factors influencing 의 $S_N$ reactivities will be: (1) positive charge developments on reaction center carbon atom (2) energy level of ${\sigma}$-antibonding unoccupied MO with respect to C-Cl bond. (3) ${\sigma}$-antibonding strength of C-Cl bond at that level.

  • An effect of the spin-orbit coupling interaction of ligand orbitals and the intermixing │3d 〉and│4p > transition metal atomic orbitals on the ground state for a 3$d^9$ system in a strong crystal field of tetragonally distorted tetrahedral symmetry that belongs to the $D_{2d}$ point group has been investigated in this work, applying the degenerate perturbation theory. An LCAO-MO analysis in terms of the known energies of the d-d transitions for the tetragonally distorted $CuCl_4^{2-}$ ion in a single crystal of$Cs_2CuCl_4$shows that the covalent mixing of Cu 3d and ligand Cl 3p orbitals decreases dramatically with increasing Cu 4p contribution. The extent of effect on the energy level splitting for the ground state by the spin-orbit coupling interaction of ligand orbitals decreases significantly in orderTEX>$\Gamma_7(E)\;\to\;\Gamma_6(E)\; >\;\Gamma_7(B_2)\;\to\;\Gamma_6(E)\; >\;\Gamma_7(B_2)\;\to\;\Gamma_7(E)$.

  • As the growth of ubiquitous services, various types of ad hoc networks have emerged. In particular, wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are widely known ad hoc networks, but there are also other kinds of wireless ad hoc networks in which the characteristics of the aforementioned two network types are mixed together. This paper proposes a variant of the Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol modified to be suitable in such a combined network environment. That is, the proposed routing protocol provides node detection and route discovery/maintenance in a network with a large number of mobile sensor nodes, while preserving node mobility, network connectivity, and energy efficiency. The proposed routing protocol is implemented with a multi-hop multi-path algorithm, a topology reconfiguration technique using node movement estimation and vibration sensors, and an efficient path selection and data transmission technique for a great many moving nodes. In the experiments, the performance of the proposed protocol is demonstrated by comparing it to the conventional LEACH protocol.

  • A new copolymer named T-TI24T (poly((5,5-(2-butyl-5,6-bisdecyloxy-4,7-di-thiophen-2-yl-isoindole-1,3-dione))- alt-(2,5-thiophene))) based on phthalimide derivative and thiophene is synthesized by the Stille-coupling reaction. The polymer shows relatively high number average molecular weight of 86500 g/mol with good solubility in common organic solvents such as chloroform, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and toluene and is thermally stable up to $380^{\circ}C$. Besides, it possesses a relatively low highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of -5.33 eV, promising the high open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) for photovoltaic applications. Active layer solution of polymer T-TI24T-as a donor and (6)-1-(3-(methoxycarbonyl)- {5}-1-phenyl[5,6]-fullerene (PCBM)-as an acceptor in different weight ratios is applied to fabricate the polymer solar cell devices. The ratio of polymer/PCBM affects the solar cell efficiency and the best performance exhibits in the device with polymer/PCBM = 1:3 (w/w), which shows a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.199% and a $V_{oc}$ of 0.99 V, respectively. Even though the device shows the very low PCE, the $V_{oc}$ is higher than that of well known bulk heterojunction type solar cell based on P3HT:PC61BM (c.a. 0.5 V).

  • In this study, we investigated the structural properties of $Ga_2O_3$ thin films and the photo-electrical properties of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors deposited by Ti/Au electrodes. $Ga_2O_3$ thin films were grown at different temperatures using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The crystal phase of $Ga_2O_3$ changed from ${\varepsilon}$-phase to ${\beta}$-phase depending on the growth temperature. The crystal structure of ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$ was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the formation mechanism of crystal structure was discussed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. From the results of current-voltage (I-V) and time-dependent photoresponse characteristics under the illumination of external lights, we confirmed that the MSM photodetector fabricated by ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$ showed much better photocurrent characteristics in the 266 nm UV range than in the visible range.

  • To evaluate the possibility as a multi-level memory medium for the Ge2Sb2Te5/TiN/W-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 cell structure, the crystallization rate and stabilization characteristics according to voltage (V)- and current (I)- pulse sweeping were investigated. In the cell structures prepared by a magnetron sputtering system on a p-type Si (100) substrate, the Ge2Sb2Te5 and W-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films were separated by a barrier metal, TiN, and the individual thicknesses were varied, but the total thickness was fixed at 200 nm. All cell structures exhibited relatively stable multi-level states of high-middle-low resistance (HR-MR-LR), which guarantee the reliability of the multilevel phase-change random access memory (PRAM). The amorphousto-multilevel crystallization rate was evaluated from a graph of resistance (R) vs. pulse duration (T) obtained by the nanoscaled pulse sweeping at a fixed applied voltage (12 V). For all structures, the phase-change rates of HR→MR and MR→LR were estimated to be approximately t<20 ns and t<40 ns, respectively, and the states were relatively stable. We believe that the doublestack structure of an appropriate Ge-Sb-Te film separated by barrier metal (TiN) can be optimized for high-speed and stable multilevel PRAM.
