ZnO epilayer were synthesized by the pulesd laser deposition(PLD) process on $Al_2O_3$ substrate after irradiating the surface of the ZnO sintered pellet by the ArF(193 nm) excimer laser. The epilayers of ZnO were achieved on sapphire ($Al_2O_3$) substrate at a temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of epilayer was investigated by the photoluminescence. The carrier density and mobility of ZnO epilayer measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and $299cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the ZnO obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 3.3973 eV - ($2.69{\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K)$T_2$/(T + 463 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the ZnO have been estimated to be 0.0041 eV and 0.0399 eV at 10 K, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the $\triangle$so definitely exists in the $\ulcorner_6$ states of the valence band of the ZnO. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10K are ascribed to the $A_1-$, $B_1-$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.

In this study, simple chemical synthesis of green emitting Cd-free InP/ZnS QDs is accomplished by reacting In, P, Zn, and S precursors by one-pot process. The particle size and the optical properties were tailored, by controlling various experimental conditions, including [In]/[MA] (MA: myristic acid) mole ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time. The results of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and of photoluminescence (PL), reveal that the exciton emission of InP was improved by surface coating, with a layer of ZnS. We report the correlation between each experimental condition and the luminescent properties of InP/ZnS core/shell QDs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the as-synthesized QDs. In contrast to core nanoparticles, InP/ZnS core/shell treated with surface coating shows a clear ultraviolet peak. Besides this work, we need to study what clearly determines the shell kinetic growth mechanism of InP/ZnS core shell QDs.

Semiconductor quantum dots are of great interest for both fundamental research and industrial applications due to their unique size dependant properties. The most promising application of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots or QDs) is probably as emitters in biomedical labeling, LEDs, lasers etc. As compared to II-VI quantum dots, III-V have attracted greater interest owing to their less ionic lattice, larger exciton diameters and reduced toxicity. Among the III-V semiconductor quantum dots, Indium Phosphide (InP) is a popular material due to its bulk band gap of 1.35 (eV) which is responsible for the photoluminescence emission wavelength ranging from blue to near infrared with change in size of QDs. Nevertheless, in recent years, the exact type of collective properties that arise when semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are assembled into two- or three-dimensional arrays has drawn much interest. The term "uantum dot solids" is used to indicate three-dimensional assemblies of semiconductor QDs. The optoelectronic properties of the quantum dot solids are known to depend on the electronic structure of the individual quantum dot building blocks and on their electronic interactions. This paper reports an efficient and rapid method to produce highly luminescent and monodisperse quantum dots solution and solid through fabrication of InP thin films. By varying the molar concentration of Indium to Ligand, QDs of different size were prepared. The absorption and emission behaviors were also studied. Similar measurements were also performed on InP quantum dot solid by fabricating InP thin films. The optical properties of the thin films are measured at different curing temperatures which show a blue shift with increase in temperature. The dielectric properties of the thin films were also investigated by Capacitance-voltage(C-V) measurements in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) device.

rf 플라즈마 소스가 장착된 분자선 에피택시 장비를 이용하여 Si(111) 기판위에 GaN 나노로드를 성장할 때, N2의 흐름양을 조절하여 나노로드의 구조 및 광학적인 특성을 조사하였다. $N_2$의 양이 1.1sccm에서 2.0sccm으로 변할 때 육각형 모양의 나노로드가 성장되었으며, 평균 직경이 80nm에서 190nm 까지 변화 하였다. 그러나 나노로드와 compact한 영역의 길이 (두께)비는 $N_2$의 양이 1.7sccm 까지는 증가하지만 그 이상에서는 변화지 않았다. PL 측정으로부터, $N_2$의 양이 적은 나노로드에서 자유 엑시톤의 피이크가 더욱 뚜렷하게 관측되었고, 모든 PL 피이크의 위치는 직경이 적을수록 나노로드의 크기 효과에 의해서 고에너지 쪽으로 이동하였다. $N_2$의 양이 1.7sccm 인 시료에서는 온도에 따른 PL의 피이크의 위치가 온도가 증가함에 따라서 "S-형"의 거동을 나타내었다.

ZnO is a promising material since it could be applied to many fields such as solar cells, laser diodes, thin films transistors and gas sensors. ZnO has a wide and direct band gap for about 3.37 eV at room temperature and a high exciton binding energy of 60 meV. In particular, ZnO features high sensitivity to toxic and combustible gas such as CO, NOX, so on. The development of gas sensors to monitor the toxic and combustible gases is imperative due to the concerns for enviromental pollution and the safety requirements for the industry. In this study, we investigated the effect of substrate temperature and post-annealing on structural and electrical properties of ZnO thin films. ZnO thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at various temperatures at from room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$. After that, post-annealing were performed at $600^{\circ}C$. To inspect the structural properties of the deposited ZnO thin films, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was carried out. For gas sensors, the morphology of the films is dominant factor since it is deeply related with the film surface area. Therefore, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to observe the surface of the ZnO thin films. Furthermore, we analyzed the electrical properties by using a Hall measurement system.

ZnO 나노로드는 큰 밴드갭 에너지(~3.37 eV)와 60 meV의 높은 엑시톤 결합 에너지(exciton binding energy)를 갖고 있으며, 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 지닌 1차원 나노구조의 금속산화물로서 태양전지 및 광전소자 널리 응용되고 있다. 이러한 ZnO 나노로드를 성장하는 방법 중에 전기화학증착법(electrochemical deposition method)은 전도성 물질위에 증착된 시드층(seed layer)을 성장용액에 담그어 전압을 인가하여 만들기 때문에 기존의 수열합성법(hydrothermal method), 졸-겔 법(sol-gel method)보다 비교적 간단한 공정과정으로 저온에서 빠르게 물질을 성장시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 한편, 디스플레이 산업에서 ITO (indium tin oxide)는 투명 전도성 산화물(transparent conductive oxide)로써 가시광 파장영역에서 높은 투과율과 전도성을 가지며, 액정디스플레이, LED (Light emitting diode), 태양전지 등의 다양한 소자에 투명전극 재료로 쓰이고 있다. 또한 최근 ITO를 유연한 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판 위에 증착은 얇고, 가볍고, 휘어지기 쉬워 휴대하기 편하기 때문에 차세대 광전자소자 응용에 가능성이 크다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO 나노로드를 ITO/PET 기판위에 전기화학증착법으로 성장하여, 구조적 및 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 시드층을 형성하기 위해 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 ~20 nm 두께의 ZnO 박막을 증착시킨 후, zinc nitrate와 hexamethylenetetramine이 포함된 수용액에 시료를 담그어 전압을 인가하였다. 용액의 농도와 인가전압을 조절하여 여러 가지 성장조건에 대한 ZnO 나노로드의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 비교하였다. 성장된 시료의 형태와 결정성을 조사하기 위해, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 사용하였으며, UV-vis-NIS spectrophotometer, photoluminescence (PL) 측정장비를 사용하여 광학적 특성을 분석하였다.

A new cross-linkable polymer, cross-linked d-PBAB, which has the triphenylamine as the hole transporting moiety and ethynyl group as the thermal cross-linker is firstly synthesized by the combination of anionic polymerization and deprotection process. The thermal cross-linking reaction was performed at $240^{\circ}C$ for 50 min and cross-linked d-PBAB layer showed smooth surface and is not soluble at organic solvent under spin-coating of emitting layer (EML). The solution-processed PLED which was fabricated with cross-linked d-PBAB as HTL showed approximately two times higher Lmax and four times higher LEmax than those obtained from PLED with PEDOT:PSS as the HTL. These result is ascribed to better ability of cross-linked d-PBAB to block electrons and to prevent exciton-quenching than those of PEDOT : PSS at the EML interface. This results strongly suggested that cross-linked d-PBAB can be a promising material to replace conventional PEDOT : PSS. It can be suspected that PLEDwith cross-linked d-PBAB would show longer lifetime compared with that of PLED with PEDOT : PSS, and thus further studies are under investigation.

ZnO는 II-VI족 화합물 반도체로서 3.37 ev의 band gap energy와 60 mv의 exciton binding energy를 가지며 차세대 소자로 다양한 분야에서 연구되어지고 있다. ZnO 박막과는 다르게 ZnO nano structure는 효율성과 특성 향상의 이점으로 태양전지와 투명전극 소자에 많은 연구가 되고 있으며 UV 레이저, 가스센서, LED, 압전소자, Field Emitting Transistor (FET) 등 다양한 응용분야에서 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유리 기판 위에 RF Magnetron sputtering법을 이용해 ZnO buffer layer를 다양한 두께(~1,000${\AA}$)로 증착한 뒤, Zn powder (99.99%)를 지름 2inch 석영관 안에 넣어 Thermal furnace장비를 이용하여 Thermal Evaporation법으로 약 500$^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 촉매 없이 성장 하였다. 수직성장된 ZnO 나노 구조체의 특성을 전계방출주사전자현미경(SEM), X-선 회절패턴(XRD), UV-spectra를 이용하여 분석하였다. SEM 분석을 통하여 ZnO buffer layer위에 성장된 ZnO 나노 구조체는 직경이 약 ~50 nm, 길이가 ~2 um까지 성장을 보였으며, XRD 측정결과, ZnO 우선 성장 방향(002)을 확인하였다. 두 가지 측정을 통하여 ZnO buffer layer의 유무에 따라 성장 특성이 향상되었음을 확인하였으며, 이는 buffer layer가 seed 역할을 한 것으로 사료된다. UV-spectra 측정을 통하여 가시광 영역(400~780 nm)에서 60%대의 투과도를 보여 가시광 영역에서 투명성을 요구하는 전자 소자 및 광소자 등에 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 우수한 투과도를 가지며 유리 기판위에 수직성장된 ZnO 나노구조체는 태양전지와 플렉서블 디스플레이 등 다양한 활용 분야를 제시할 수 있다.

Single crystal $AgGaSe_{2}$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $AgGaSe_{2}$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $AgGaSe_{2}$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.05{\times}10^{16}/cm^{3}$, $139cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_{2}$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_{g}(T)$=1.9501 eV-($8.79{\times}10^{-4}{\;}eV/K)T^{2}$/(T+250 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $AgGaSe_{2}$ have been estimated to be 0.3132 eV and 0.3725 eV at 10 K, 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 $AgGaSe_{2}$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1}-$, $B_{1}-$, and $C_{1}-$exciton peaks for n=1.
