Uniformly-doped silicon thin films were fabricated by ion beam sputter deposition. The thin films had four levels of copper dopant concentration ranging between 1 ${\times}$1019 and 1 ${\times}$ 1021 atoms/cm3 . Concentrations of Copper dopants were determined by the isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to provide certified reference data for the quantitative surface analysis by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The copper-doped thin films were dissolved in a mixture of 1 M HF and 3 M HNO3 spiked with appropriate amounts of 65 Cu. For an accurate isotope ratio determination, both the detector dead time and the mass discrimination were appropriately corrected and isobaric interference from SiAr molecular ions was avoided by a careful sample pretreatment. An analyte recovery efficiency was obtained for the Cu spiked samples to evaluate accuracy of the method. Uncertainty of the determined copper concentrations, estimated following the EURACHEM Guide, was less than 4%, and detection limit of this method was 5.58 ${\times}$ 1016 atoms/cm3.

A small amount of misch metal and/or Zr was added as a dopant to 70.5wt----Cu-26wt----Zn-3.5wt----Al shape memory alloy in order to study the effect of grain refinement and heat treatments on the transformation behavior, stabilization of martensite, and shape memory ability. It was found that the addition of misch metal and Zr was very effective for reducing the grain size. The fracture mode has been changed from intergranular brittle fracture to ductile fracture with void formation and coalescence by the addition of misch metal and Zr. Aging of the ${\beta}$-phase decreases the $M_s$ temperature, but that of the martensite phase increases the $A_s$ temperature. The hysteresis of transformation temperature ${\Delta}T(A_s-M_s)$ has an increasing tendancy by grain refinement. The crystal structure of martensite was identified as monoclinic structure. As the grain size decreased, martensite stabilization more easily occured and the shape, memory ability has been reduced by the grain size refined.

Effect of co-doping on optical and electrical properties of $SnO_2$ based thin films were studied. $SnO_2$ ceramic targets with up to 50mol% $CuSb_2O_6$ were prepared by sintering mixed-oxide compact in the temperature range of $1100^{\circ}C{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$ in air. Thin films were then deposited onto glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition where substrate temperature was maintained in the range of $500{\sim}650^{\circ}C$ with oxygen pressure of 3m~7.5mTorr and energy density of $1Jcm^{-2}$. It was found that with the increase amount of dopant, the electrical properties of thin films tended to improve with the smallest resistivity value obtained at about 8mol% doping, further increase, however, usually impaired the optical transmission in the visible range.

The low-temperature sinterability of TiO₂-CuO systems was investigated using a solid solution of SnO₂. Sample powders were prepared through conventional ball milling of mixed raw powders. With the SnO₂ content, the compositions of the samples were Ti_1-xSn_xO₂-CuO(2 wt.%) in the range of x ≤ 0.08. Compared with the samples without SnO₂ addition, the densification was enhanced when the samples were sintered at 900℃. The dominant mass transport mechanism seemed to be grain-boundary diffusion during heat treatment at 900℃, where active grain-boundary diffusion was responsible for the improved densification. The rapid grain growth featured by activated sintering was also obstructed with the addition of SnO₂. This suggested that both CuO as an activator and SnO₂ dopant synergistically reduced the sintering temperature of TiO₂.

본 연구에서는 용액합성법(solution synthesis technique)에 의해 ZnS : Cu nano 입자를 합성하였고, 결정구조 및 입자형상 등의 구조적 특성과, 광흡수/투과 특성, 에너지밴드갭, 그리고 photoluminescence(PL) 여기 및 발광 특성 등의 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 일반적인 용액상태의 화학적 합성 방법과는 달리 합성온도를 $80^{\circ}C$로하였으며, sulfur의 precursor로 thiourea를 채택하여 Cu 도핑의 용이성을 구현하였다. 합성된 undoped ZnS 와 ZnS : Cu nano 입자는 모두 cubic 구조를 가졌으며 구형입자로 합성되었고, 광흡수단의 위치도 모두 ~305 nm에 나타나서 양자사이즈효과가 발생하였음을 알 수 있었다. PL 발광강도와 반가폭은 Cu 도핑농도가 0.03M 일 때 각각 최고치와 최저치를 나타냈는데, 이와 같이 용액합성법에 의해 합성된 ZnS : Cu 에서 Cu 의 농도변화에 따른 PL 스펙트럼의 강도와 반가폭의 변화는 본 연구에서 최초로 보고되는 것이다. 광흡수단 측정 및 PL 여기 실험결과, 본 연구의 주된 발광피크인 ~510 nm 발광밴드는 Cu에 의해 에너지밴드갭 내에 형성된 발광재결합센터를 통한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

La doped CuO-ZnO-$Al_2O_3$ powders are prepared by sol-gel method with aluminum isopropoxide and primary distilled water as precursor and solvent. In this synthesized process, the obtained metal oxides caused the precursor such as copper (II) nitrate hydrate and zinc (II) nitrate hexahydrate were added. To improve the surface areas of La doped CuO-ZnO-$Al_2O_3$ powder, sorbitan (z)-mono-9-octadecenoate (Span 80) was added. The synthesized powder was calcined at various temperatures. The dopant was found to affect the surface area and particle size of the mixed oxide, in conjunction with the calcined temperature. The structural analysis and textual properties of the synthesized powder were measured with an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), a Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Bruner-Emmett-Teller surface analysis (BET), Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal analysis (TG/DTA), $^{27}Al$ solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and transform infrared microspectroscopy (FT-IR). An increase of surface area with Span 80 was observed on La doped CuO-ZnO-$Al_2O_3$ powders from $25m^2$/g to $41m^2$/g.

Cu/Mn/Ce catalysts for water gas shift (WGS) reaction were synthesized by urea-nitrate combustion method with the fixed molar ratio of Cu/Mn as 1:4 and 1:1 with the doping concentration of Ce from 0.3 to 0.8 mol%. The prepared catalysts were characterized with SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, $H_2$-TPR, $CO_2$ TPD, $N_2O$ chemisorption analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of 200 to $400^{\circ}C$. The Cu/Mn(CM) catalysts formed Cu-Mn mixed oxide of spinel structure ($Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$) and manganese oxides ($MnO_x$). However, when a small amount of Ce was doped, the growth of $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ was inhibited and the degree of Cu dispersion were increased. Also, the doping of Ce on the CM catalyst reduced the reduction temperature and the base site to induce the active site of the catalyst to be exposed on the catalyst surface. From the XPS analysis, it was confirmed that maintaining the oxidation state of Cu appropriately was a main factor in the WGS reaction. Consequently, Ce as support and dopant in the water gas shift reaction catalysts exhibited the enhanced catalytic activities on CM catalysts. We found that proper amount of Ce by preparing catalysts with different Cu/Mn ratios.

The doping effect of Sn on the microstructure evolution and dielectric properties was studied in $CaCu_3Ti_{4-x}Sn_xO_{12}$ polycrystals. Samples were produced by a conventional solid-state reaction method. Sintering was carried out at $1115^{\circ}C$ for 2-16 h in air. The dielectric constant and loss were examined at room temperature over a frequency range between $10^2$ and $10^6$ Hz. The microstructure was found to evolve into three stages. Addition of $SnO_2$ led to an increase in density and advanced formation of abnormal grains. The formation of coarse grains with a reduced thickness of the boundary brought about an enhanced dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss below ~1 kHz. EDS data showed the Cu-rich phase along the grain boundary, which should contribute to the improved dielectric constant according to the internal barrier layer capacitor model. After all, $SnO_2$ was an effective dopant to elevate the dielectric characteristics of $CaCu_3Ti_{4-x}Sn_xO_{12}$ polycrystals as a promoter for abnormal grain growth.

$CeO_2$를 첨가한 Y-Ba-Cu-0 초전도체를 포정반응을 포함한 준용용법으로 제조하여 미세조직과 초전도성을 관찰하였다. 첨가한 $CeO_2$는 포정반응중에 $BaCeO_3$로 변화하였으며, 이 $BaCeO_3$는 방향성 성장한 1-2-3 초전도상의 기지에 미세하게 분산된다. 초전도체의 $T_{c}$는 첨가된 $CeO_2$함량에 관계없이 90K 이상으로 매우 높았다. 이는 준용융공정을 적용함으로서 제2상물질을 초전도상으로부터 분리할 수 있었기 때문으로 사료된다.

일반적으로, 전도성 고분자는 금속에 준하는 전기 전도도와 다공성을 이용한 전해질 이온 및 생채 고분자의 물리, 화학적 도우핑 능력을 장점으로 한다. 따라서, 이 분야의 최근 연구동향도 이온 도우핑에 의한 전도성 고분자의 전기 전도도 향상에 초점이 맞추어져 있으며, 이미 다수의 연구진에 의행 여러 가지 방법이 제시되었다. 본 논문은 전기 화학적 cementation 공정을 이용하여 금속 이온을 전도성 고분자에 도우핑하고 특성을 고찰하였다. 전도성 고분자로써 polypyrrole (PPy)을 사용하고, micropaticles (구리와 니켈 이온)를 도펀트 (dopant)로 하여 -1.5 V ${\sim}$ 2V의 범위에서 순환 전압 전류법 (Cyclic voltammetry)을 이용해 organic-inorganic complex를 제작하였고, 각각의 전극을 비교, 분석 하였다. 구리 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름은 전기 전도도가 매우 우수하나 대기 중 공기 및 수분에 의해 쉽게 산화되므로 life-time이 짧다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 상대적으로 안정한 니켈 이온을 도우핑한 PPy 필름의 전기 화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 전극의 표면은 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다.
