Li-doped ZnS layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. It was found that relatively low growth temperature is suitable for effective incorporation of Li acceptors. The layers grown under optimized conditions exhibited photoluminescence spectra dominated by neutral-acceptor-bound excitons. Such layers also showed electrically p-type behavior in capacitance-voltage characteristics. The net acceptor concentration is estimated to be approximately $3{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-3}$.

Many researchers have been tried to improve the performance of the phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode(PHOLED) by controlling of the dopant profile in the emission layer. In this work, as shown in Fig. 1 insert, a typical red PHOLED device which has the structure of ITO/NPB(50nm)/CBP(30nm)/TPBi(10nm)/Alq3(20nm)/LiF(0.8nm)/Al(100nm) is fabricated with a 5nm thick doping section in the emission layer. The doping section is formed by co-deposition of CBP and Ir(btp)2acac with a doping concentration of 8%, and it's location(x) is changed from HTL/EML interface to EML/HBL in 5nm steps. The current efficiency versus current density of the devices are shown in Fig. 1. By changing the location of doping section, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2, at x=5nm, the efficiency shows the maximum of 3.1 cd/A at 0.5 mA/cm2 and it is slightly decreased when the section is closed to HTL and slightly increased when the section is closed to HBL. If the doping section is closed to HTL(NPB) the excitons can be quenched easily to NPB's triplet state energy level(2.5eV) which is relatively lower than that of CBP(2.6eV). Because there is a hole accumulation at EML/HBL interface the efficiency can be increased slightly when the section is closed to HBL. Even the thickness of the doping section is only 5nm,. the maximum efficiency of 3.1 cd/A with x=5 is closed to that of the homogeneously doped device, 3.3 cd/A, because the diffusion length of the excitons is relatively long. As a result, we confirm that the current efficiency of the PHOLED can be improved by the doping profile optimization such as partially, not homogeneously, doped EML structure.

The ZnSe sample grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method were annealed in Ar gas at 450$^{\circ}C$ Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction pattern, it was found to have zinc blend structure whose lattice parameter a$\_$o/ was 5.6687 ${\AA}$. From Hall effect, the mobility was likely to be decreased by impurity scattering at temperature range from 10 K to 150 K and by lattice scattering at temperature range from 150 K to 29 3K. The band gap given by the transmission edge changed from 2.7005 eV at 293 K to 2.8739 eV at 10 K. Comparing photocurrent peak position with transmission edge, we could find that photocurrent peaks due to excition electrons from valence band, $\Gamma$$\_$8/ and $\Gamma$$\_$7/ to conduction band $\Gamma$$\_$6/ were observed at photocurrent spectrum. From the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light on the ZnSe thin film, we have found that values of spin orbit coupling splitting Δso is 0.0981 eV. From the PL spectra at 10 K, the peaks corresponding to free bound excitons and D-A pair and a broad emission band due to SA is identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.0612 eV and the dissipation energy of the donor -bound exciton and acceptor-bound exciton to be 0.0172 eV, 0.0310 eV, respectively.

The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the CuGaTe$_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnance. For extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the CuGaTe$_2$ polycrystal, it was found tetragonal structure whose lattice constant a$\_$0/ and c$\_$0/ were 6.025 ${\AA}$ and 11.931 ${\AA}$, respectively. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuGaTe$_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched semi-insulator GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were 670 $^{\circ}C$ and 410 $^{\circ}C$ respective1y, and the thickness of the single crystal thin films is 2.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The crystalline structure of single crystalthin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). Hall effect on this sample was measured by the method of van der Pauw and studied on carrier density and mobility dependence on temperature. The carrier density and mobility of CuGaTe$_2$ single crystal thin films deduced from Hall data are 8.72${\times}$10$\^$23/㎥, 3.42${\times}$10$\^$-2/㎡/V$.$s at 293K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c - axis of the CuGaTe$_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit coupling Δs.o and the crystal field splitting Δcr were 0.0791 eV and 0/2463eV at 10K, respectively. From the PL spectra at 10K, the peaks corresponding to free bound excitons and D-A pair and a broad emission band due to SA is identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.0470eV and the dissipation energy of the donor -bound exciton and acceptor-bound exciton to be 0.0490eV, 0.00558eV, respectively.

We investigated green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with stepwise doping to improve efficiency roll-off and operational lifetime by efficient distribution of triplet excitons. The host material which was 4,4,N,N'-dicarbazolebiphenyl (CBP) of bipolar characteristic that can control the carrier in emitting layer (EML). When the EML devided into four parts with different doping concentration, each devices shows various efficiency roll-off and lifetime enhancement. The distribution of the carrier and excitons in the EML can be confirmed by using stepwise doping structure. The properties of device C exhibited luminous efficiency of 51.10 cd/A, external quantum efficiency of 14.88%, respectively. Lifetime has increased 73.70% compared to the reference device.

CuCl nanocrystallites dispersed nonlinear optical silica and borosilicate glasses were fabricated by sol-gel process. CuCl powder was dissolved in TEOS(Si(OC2H5)4) and TMB((CH3O)3B), precursors of silica and borosilicate glasses, with ethanol, water and HCl, and precipitated through the heat treatment in the matrix glass. The optical properties of CuCl doped glasses were measured using the spectrophotometer at room temperature and low temperature(77K); Z1, 2 and Z3 exciton peaks from the absorption spectra, were observed at about 370 nm and 380 nm, respectively. The average radius of nanocrystallites, calculated from the blue shift of Z3 excitons, was measured according to annealing temperature and time. The precipitation temperature of CuCl nanocrystallites was decreased when boron was added to silica glass. Increase of annealing temperature and time made average radius of nanocrystallites saturated about 2 nm.

The optical properties of $ZnS_{y}Se_{1-x-y}:Te_x\;(x\;<\;0.08,\;y\∼0.11$) alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and PL-excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. Good optical properties and high crystal quality were established with lattice match condition to GaAs substrate. At room temperature, emission in the visible spectrum region from blue to green was obtained by varying the Te content of the ZnSSe:Te alloy. The efficient blue and green emission were assigned to $Te_{1}$Tel and $Te_{n}$ (n$\geq$2) cluster bound excitons, respectively. Bright blue (462 nm) and green (535 nm) light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer.

The optical properties of $ZnS_ySe_{1-\chi-y}:Te_{\chi}(\chi<0.08,y~0.11)$ alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and PL-excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. Good optical properties and high crystal quality were established with lattice match condition to GaAs substrate. At room temperature, emission in the visible spectrum region from blue to green was obtained by varying the Te content of the ZnSSe:Te alloy. The efficient blue and green emission were assigned to $Te_1 and Te_n(n\geq2)$cluster bound excitons, respectively. Bright green (535 nm) and blue (462 nm) light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The turn-on voltage of 2.1 V in current-voltage characteristics is very small compared to that of commercial InGaN-based LEDs (>3.4 V), indicating the formation of a good ohmic contact due to the optimized p-ZnSe/p-ZnTe multi-quantum well (MQW) superlattice electrode layers.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown with various growth interruptions between the InGaN well and GaN barrier by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition were investigated using photoluminescence, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). The luminescence intensity of the MQWs with growth interruptions is abruptly reduced compared to that of the MQW without growth interruption. Also, as the interruption time increases the peak emission shows a continuous blue shift. Evidence of indium clustering is directly observed both by using an indium ratio map of the MQWs and from indium composition measurements along an InGaN well using EFTEM. The higher intensity and lower energy emission of light from the MQW grown without interruption showing indium clustering is believed to be caused by the recombination of excitons localized in indium clustering regions and the increased indium composition in these recombination centers.
