효율적인 PPLN 제작을 위하여 DC 전계를 인가하면서 $LiNbO_3$에 인가되는 전압 및 전류를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 실험 장치를 제안하였다. 제안된 실험 장치를 사용함으로써 PPLN의 분극반전에 필요한 충분한 전하량을 공급하기 위한 전계인가시간을 수초 단위로 증가시킬 수 있어 $LiNbO_3$에 주입되는 전하량의 조절을 용이하게 할 수 있었다. 또한 PPLN의 분극반전 과정을 단계별로 분류하고 각 단계별 실험결과를 바탕으로 분석함으로써 최적의 PPLN 제작조건을 구할 수 있었다.

The performance characteristics of a lead acid battery are investigated with the content of Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate (SPT, NaBO₃·4H₂O) in a positive plate active material. SPT, which reacts with water to form hydrogen peroxide, is applied as an additive in the positive plate active material to increase adhesion between the substrate (positive plate) and the active material; this phenomenon is caused by a chemical reaction on the surface of substrate. A positive plate with the increasing content of SPT is prepared to compare its properties. It is confirmed that the oxide layer increases at the interface between the substrate and the active material with increasing content of SPT; this is proven to be an oxide layer through EDS analysis. Battery performance is confirmed: when SPT content is 2.0 wt%, the charging acceptance and high rate discharge properties are improved. In addition, the lifetime performance according to the Standard of Battery Association of Japan (SBA) S0101 test is improved with increasing content of SPT.

고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)에서 음극 공기에 의한 이온오염은 막전극 합체(MEA)의 성능을 심각하게 열화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 산업단지, 길가, 해변의 공기 중 이온 농도를 측정하였다. 이들 지역에서 $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$와 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온 농도가 비교적 높았다. 가습수로부터 이들 이온이 cathode에 유입되어 MEA 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 수돗물을 가습수로 사용해 170시간 운전한 후 MEA 성능이 초기의 11%로 감소하였다. 이들 오염 이온들이 수소이온보다 전해질 막의 슬폰산기와 친화력이 더 강해 전해질 막에 쉽게 이온 교환된 결과다. MEA 중에서 전극/막 계면에서 이온 오염이 MEA 성능저하에 미치는 영향이 제일 컸다.

Electroluminescent(EL) devices based on organic thin films have attracted lots of interests in large-area light-emitting display. One of the problems of such device is a lifetime, where a degradation of the cell is possibly due to an organic layers thickness, morphology and interface with electrode. In this study, light-omitting organic electroluminescent devices were fabricated using Alq$_3$(8-hydroxyquinolinate aluminum) and TPD(N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl(1-1\`-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine). Where Alq$_3$ is an electron-transport and emissive layer, TPD is a hole-transport layer. The cell structure is ITO/TPD/Alq$_3$/Al and the cell is fabricated by vacuum evaporation method. In a measurement of current-voltage characteristics, we obtained a turn-on voltage at about 9 V. We also investigated stability of the devices using buffer layer with blend of PEI (Poly ether imide) and TPD by varying mot ratios between ITO and Alq$_3$. In current-voltage characteristics measurement, we obtained the turn-on voltage at about 6 V and observed an anomalous behavior at 3∼4 V. And we used other buffer layer of PEDT(3,4-pyrazino-3',4'-ethylenedithio-2,2',5,5'-tetrathiafulvalenium) with ITO/PEDT/TPD/Alq$_3$Al structure. We observed a surface morphology by AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy), UV/visible absorption spectrum, and PL(Photoluminescence) spectrum. We obtained the UV/visible absorption peak at 358nm in TPD and at 359nm in Alq$_3$, and the PL peaks at 410nm in TPD and at 510nm in Alq$_3$. We also studied EL spectrum in the cell structure of ITO/(TPD+PEI)/Alq$_3$/Al.

The Gallium-doped ZnO(GZO) film deposited at a temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ and a pressure of 10 mtorr has an optical transmittance of 89.0% and a resistivity of $2.0\;m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ because of its high crystallinity. Effect of $Al_2O_3$ oxide buffer layers on the optical and electrical properties of sputtered ZnO films were intensively investigated for developing the electrodes of opto-electronic devices which demanded high optical transmittance and low resistivity. The use of $Al_2O_3$ buffer layer could increase optical transmittance of GZO film to 90.7% at a wavelength of 550 nm by controlling optical spectrum. Resistivity of deposited GZO films were much dependent on the deposition condition of $O_2/(Ar+O_2)$ flow rate ratio during the buffer layer deposition. It is considered that the $Al_2O_3$ buffer layer could increase the carrier concentration of the GZO films by doping effect of diffused Al atoms through the rough interface.

본 연구에서는 Al-Oxide(AIOx) 에 Ti를 첨가하여. Ti 함량에 따라 자기터널접합의 자기터널링 현상 변화 및 TiA l합금박막의 미세구조, 표면거칠기 변화를 관찰하였다. Ti를 첨가한 TiAlOx 절연층을 사용하여 기존 AlOx를 사용한 경우 보다 높은 터널링 자기저항(Tunneling Magnetoresistance, TMR) 비를 가지는 자기터널접합을 제작하였다. TMR 비의 증가 요인은 Ti를 첨가함에 따라, TiAl 합금박막의 입계가 작아지고, 치밀한 구조를 가져, 우수한 계면평활도를 가지는 균일한 TiAlOx 절연층이 형성되어, 소자의 구조적 안정성이 향상되었기 때문으로 분석하였다. 또한 향상된 구조적 안정성으로 인해 소자의 열적, 전기적 안정성도 크게 증가하였다.

We have studied a lifetime in organic light-emitting diodes depending on buffer layer. A transparent electrode of indium-tin-oxide(ITO) was used as an anode. And the cathode for electron injection was LiAl. Phthalocyanine Copper(CuPc), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (PEDOT:PSS), or poly (9-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) material was used as a buffer layer. A thermal evaporation was performed to make a thickness of 40nm of TPD layer at a rate of $0.5{\sim}1\;{\AA}/s$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. A material of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) Aluminum($Alq_3$) was used as an electron transport and emissive layer. A thermal evaporation of $Alq_3$ was done at a deposition rate of $0.7{\sim}0.8[{\AA}/s]$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. By varying the buffer material, hole injection at the interface could be controlled because of the change in work function. Devices with CuPc and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer are superior to the other PVK buffer layer.

Semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) have recently attracted considerable interest for use in photovoltaics. Band gaps of NQDs can be tuned over a considerable range by varying the particle size thereby allowing enhance absorption of solar spectrum. NQDs, synthesized using colloidal routes, are solution processable and promise for a large-area fabrication. Recent advancements in multiple-exciton generation in NQD solutions have afforded possible efficiency improvements. Various architectures have attempted to utilize the NQDs in photovoltaics, such as NQD-sensitized solar cell, NQD-bulk-heterojuction solar cell and etc. Here we have fabricated CdSe NQDs with the band gap of 1.8 eV to 2.1 eV on thin-layers of p-type organic crystallites (1.61 eV) to realize a donor-acceptor type heterojuction solar cell. Simple structure as it was, we could control the interface of electrode-p-layer, and n-p-layer and monitor the following efficiency changes. Specifically, surface molecules adsorbed on the NQDs were critical to enhance the carrier transfer among the n-layer where we could verify by measuring the photo-response from the NQD layers only. Further modifying the annealing temperature after the deposition of NQDs on p-layers allowed higher conversion efficiencies in the device.

In this study, we have investigated the role of a metal oxide hole injection layer (HIL) between an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode and an organic hole transporting layer (HTL) in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Nickel Oxide films were deposited at different deposition times of 0 to 60 seconds, thus leading to a thickness from 0 to 15 nm on ITO/glass substrates. To study the influence of NiO film thickness on the properties of OLEDs, the relationships between NiO/ITO morphology and surface properties have been studied by UV-visible spectroscopy measurements and AFM microscopy. The dependences of the I-V-L properties on the thickness of the NiO layers were examined. Comparing these with devices without an NiO buffer layer, turn-on voltage and luminance have been obviously improved by using the NiO buffer layer with a thickness smaller than 10 nm in OLEDs. Moreover, the efficiency of the device ITO/NiO (< 5 nm)/NPB/$Alq_3$/ LiF/Al has increased two times at the same operation voltage (8V). Insertion of a thin NiO layer between the ITO and HTL enhances the hole injection, which can increase the device efficiency and decrease the turn-on voltage, while also decreasing the interface roughness.
