In this study, we have investigated transient properties of top emission organic light emitting diode (OLED) with a red electrophosphorescent dopant. The emission spectrum shows a strong peak at 620 nm accompanied with a small peak at 675 nm in the red region. Time evolution of electrophosphorescence reveals a decay time of 703 ms at a voltage pulse of 5 V in a device with an emitting area of 20 $mm^2$. Rise and delay times vary from 450 to 14 ms and 73 to 3 ms, respectively, as the voltage amplitude increases from 4.5 to 10 V. These results are compared with the red emitting device without an electron injection layer.

A large cross-section pulsed electron beam generator of cold cathode type has been developed for industrial applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. The conventional electron beam generators need an electron scanning beam because the small cross section thermal electron emitter is used. The electron beam of large cross-section pulsed electron beam generator do not need to be scanned over target material because the beam cross section is large by 300$cm^2$. We have fabricated the large cross-sectional pulsed electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large area electron beam in the air. The electron beam current has been investigated as a function of accelerating voltage, glow discharge current, helium pressure, distance from the exit window and radial distribution in front of the exit window.

The effects of interlayer formation and thermal treatment on the field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The CNTs were prepared on tungsten (W) micro-tip substrates using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The interlayers, such as aluminum (Al) and hafnium (Hf) were coated on the W-tips prior to CNT deposition and after the deposition of CNTs all the species were thermally treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The field-emission properties of CNTs were significantly improved by thermal treatment. The threshold electric field for igniting the electron emission was decreased and the emission current was increased. The Raman spectroscopy results indicated that this was attributed mainly to the enhancement of CNTs by thermal treatment. Also, the CNTs deposited on the interlayers showed the remarkably improved results in the long-term emission stability, especially when they were thermally treated. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement confirmed that this was resulted from the formation of the additional cohesive forces between the CNTs and the underlying interlayers.

A low energy large aperture(LELA) pulsed electron beam generator of a cold cathode type has been developed for environmental applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. We have fabricated the LELA electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large aperture electron beam in air. The electron beam current density has been investigated as a function of glow discharge current, accelerating voltage and radial distribution in front of the exit window foil. The plasma density and electron temperature have been measured in order to confirm the relation with the electron beam current density. We are going to upgrade the LELA electron beam generator in the electron energy, electron beam current and stability of operation for various applications.

In order to investigate the emission characteristics of the phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (PHWOLEDs) according to various hole transport layers (HTLs), PHWOLEDs composed of HTLs whose structure are NPB/TCTA, NPB/mCP and NPB/TCTA/mCP, two emissive layers (EMLs) which emit two-wavelengths of light (blue and red), and electron transport layer were fabricated. The applied voltage, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency at a current density of $1 mA/cm^2$ for the fabricated PHWOLEDs were 7.5 V, 11.5 lm/W, and 15%, in case of NPB/mCP, 5 V, 14.8 lm/W, and 13.7%, in case of NPB/TCTA, and 5.5 V, 14.6 lm/W, and 15%, in case of NPB/TCTA/mCP in the hole transport layer, respectively. High emission efficiency can be obtained when the amount of hole injection from anode is balanced out by the amount of electron injection from the cathode to EML by using NPB/TCTA/mCP structured HTL.

Recently, synthesis of low-dimensional nanostructures is gaining more importance due to their structural properties and growing potential applications. On the other hand, luminescent materials doped with rare earth ions have drawn immense attention. The commercial phosphors are based on many host materials. Among them, tungstates are being currently investigated by many research groups owing to a wide range of applications. Tungstates are formed by different metal cations (e.g., SrWO4, Na2WO4, NiWO4, Cr2WO6, and ZrW2O8) and their structure depends on the size of the metal cation. Tungstates with large bivalent cations (${\gg}0.1\;nm$) have the scheelite structure and the wolframite structure with smaller ions (＜0.1 nm). Strontium tungstate has the scheelite structure which is tetragonal with space group I41/a. The luminescent properties of the tungstate have been extensively explored in application fields such as sensors, detectors, lasers, photoluminiscent devices, photo catalysts, etc. In this work, we synthesized SrWO4 phosphors with different Eu3+ concentrations by using a facile route. The morphology was analyzed by using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, which exhibits the spherical shape. Transmission electron microscope image revealed the spheres composed of nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed their tetragonal shape. The photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra were analyzed by varying the Eu3+ concentration, which shows a dominant red emission.

In order to improve both the level and the stability of electron emission, Mo and Co silicides were formed from Mo mono-layer and Ti/Co bi-layers on single crystal silicon field emitter arrays (FEAs), respectively. Using the slope of Fowler-Nordheim curve and tip radius measured from scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the effective work function of Mo and Co silicide FEAs were calculated to be 3.13 eV and 2.56 eV, respectively. Compared with silicon field emitters, Mo and Co silicide exhibited 10 and 34 times higher maximum emission current, 10 V and 46 V higher device failure voltage, and 6.1 and 4.8 times lower current fluctuation, respectively. Moreover, the emission currents of the silicide FEAs depending on vacuum level were almost the same in the range of $10^{-9}{\sim}10^{-6}$ torr. This result shows that silicide is robust in terms of anode current degradation due to the absorption of air molecules.

We studied field-emission characteristics of CNTs under various pre-treatment with $NH_{3}$ plasma on the substrate. The turn-on electric field is the lowest value and field enhancement factor (${\beta}$) is he highest value in CNTs pre-treated by $NH_3$ plasma (80 W and 5 min). The field-emission property of CNTs grown on the Ta substrate is slightly better than on the W substrate.

본 연구에서는 p-type Si (100) 위에 분자선 에피택시 성장방법으로 ZnO 완충층이 삽입된 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰다. ZnO 완충층은 Zn 셀 셔터의 열림/닫힘을 반복하는 성장 멈춤법으로 성장되었다. Zn 셀 셔터의 열림 시간은 4분, 2분, 1분이며 닫힘 시간은 2분으로 동일하게 유지하였다. 이러한 과정은 각각 5, 10, 20회로 반복되었으며 ZnO 완충층을 성장한 후 ZnO 박막은 기존의 분자선 에피택시 방법으로 성장되었다. ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성은 field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL)로 조사하였다. SEM 측정결과 성장 멈춤 횟수가 증가함에 따라 ZnO 박막의 표면은 섬(island) 구조에서 미로(maze) 구조로 변화하였고, XRD 측정결과 full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) 이 감소하고 결정립 크기(grain size)가 증가하였다. 그리고 PL 측정결과 성장 멈춤 횟수가 증가함에 따라 near-band-edge emission (NBE) 피크의 세기가 증가하였고 deep-level emission (DLE) 피크의 위치는 오렌지 발광에서 녹색 발광으로 청색편이(blue-shift)하였다.

최근 들어 나노스케일에서의 자구체(magnetic domain)에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 현재 국내에서 자성 나노구조에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행 되고 있는 반면에 나노자성이미지를 연구 할 수 있는 장비는 매우 미비한 상황이다. 이러한 자성 이미징을 연구하는데 있어 가장 핵심 적인 장비가 SEMPA(Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis)이다. 국내에서 자성나노구조의 자화와 형상을 동시에 측정 할 수 있는 장비는 한국표준과학연구원에서 개발된 W-filament source를 사용한 SEMPA가 유일하다. 일반적으로 SEM의 경우 고에너지 빔의 전자 빔을 주사 시키고 이때 발생되는 이차 전자의 수를 2차원상의 영역에 따라 달라지는 비로 형상을 측정 하게 된다. 이때 전자의 수 뿐만 아니라 이들의 spin polarization을 측정 할 수 있다면 형상뿐 만 아니라 표면에서의 스핀 상태를 동시에 측정할 수 있게 된다. 기개발된 W-filament source를 이용한 SEMPA는 field emission source에 비하여 전자빔의 세기가 약하며 이차 전자의 수도 적어 spin polarization 감도가 현저히 떨어진다. 또한 초고진공(1x10-10torr)에서 사용할 수 없어 측정시료의 contamination을 방지 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 보안하기 위하여 field emission source를 이용한 FE-SEMPA를 개발 중이다. 본 연구에서는 설계 및 전산시늉등의 연구결과와 진행사항을 발표하고자 한다. 아울러 W-filament를 사용한 SEMPA의 연구결과에 대한 논의를 할 예정이다.
