본 연구에서는 박막형 $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ 산화물 형광체의 음극선루미느센스 특성과 구조적 성질에 대하여 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL), 그리고 cathodoluminescence (CL) 방법을 이용하여 조사하였다. $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ 형광체 타겟으로부터 $Mn^{2+}$ 이온의 $^4T_1{\rightarrow}^6A_1$ 전이에 의한 506nm 파장에서의 PL emission 스펙트럼이 관찰되었다. 색좌표는 x = 0.09, y = 0.67 이었다. $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ 박막의 여기 스펙트럼은 $Mn^{2+}$ 이온 흡수에 의한 294 nm의 피크 파장을 나타내었다. 낮은 압력에서 증착한 $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ 형광체 박막은 고밀도의 치밀한 단면구조를 보였고, 높은 세기의 음극선루미느센스가 505 nm 피크 파장에서 나타났다. 표면 거칠기가 음극선루미느센스의 세기에 미치는 영향은 관찰되지 않았다.

유리기판 위에 약 500 nm 의 두께로 성장된 ZnO층의 구조적, 광학적, 전기적 성질에 미치는 갈륨도핑의 영향에 대하여 연구 하였다. 다결정 ZnO 와 GZO 층은 상온에서 radio frequency magnetron sputtering 법을 사용하여 성장되었다. 투과전자현미경 (TEM)과 x-ray 회절분석 (XRD)에 의하면, 갈륨이 도핑된 ZnO 박막의 결정성은 ZnO에 비하여 향상되었고 (002)방향을 따라 우선성장 되었음이 발견되었다. GZO 박막의 투과도는 가시광 영역에서 ZnO 박막에 비해 약 10% 정도 향상된 것으로 나타났다. PL 분석에 따르면, NBE emission 세기와 DL emission 세기의 비는 GZO 와 ZnO의 경우 각각 2.65:1 과 1.27:1로 나타났다. GZO와 ZnO의 비저항은 각각 1.27과 1.61 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$로서 GZO의 전기전도도가 높았다. GZO 와 ZnO의 캐리어농도는 각각 $10^{18}$ and $10^{20}cm^2$/Vs으로 측정되었다. 본 실험결과 따르면, Ga 도핑으로 인해 ZnO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

ZnMgBeGaO/Ag/ZnMgBeGaO multilayer structures were sputter grown and characterized in detail. Results indicated that the electrical properties of the ZnMgBeGaO films were significantly improved by inserting an Ag layer with proper thickness (~ 10 nm). Structures with thicker Ag films showed much lower optical transmission, although the electrical conductivity was further improved. It was also observed that the electrical properties of the multilayer structure were sizably improved by annealing in vacuum (~35 % at $300^{\circ}C$). The optimum ZnMgBeGaO(20nm)/Ag(10nm)/ZnMgBeGaO(20nm) structure exhibited an electrical resistivity of ${\sim}2.6{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$ (after annealing), energy bandgap of ~3.75 eV, and optical transmittance of 65 % ~ 95 % over the visible wavelength range, representing a significant improvement in characteristics versus previously reported transparent conductive materials.

ZnGa2O4: Mn phosphors were prepared by a new chemical process, and their photoluminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance characteristics were investigated. The chemical method showed a low temperature formation of phosphors and a rod-type shape of particles. The strong ultraviolet emission was observed in the undoped ZnGa2O4 phosphor, while strong green emission in the Mn2+-activated ZnGa2O4 phosphor. The green emission intensity of the phosphor prepared by the chemical method was much stronger than that prepared by the conventional method. This difference with preparation methods was interpreted as due to the difference in the distribution of Mn2+ in the host lattice. From EPR results, it was explained that the line intensity of the undoped ZnGa2O4 is associated with the electrical conductivity of this material and the concentration quenching of green luminescence of ZnGa2O4: Mn at higher Mn2+ concentration is attributed to the coupling by exchange interaction between Mn2+ ions.

ZnGa$_2$O$_4$thin films were prepared on Si(100) wafer in terms of RF power, substrate temperatures and Ar/O$_2$flow rate by RF Magnetron Sputtering. Photoluminescence(PL) measurement was employed to observe the emission spectra of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$films. The influences of various deposition parameters on the properties of grown films were studied. The optimum substrate deposition temperature for luminous characteristics was about 50$0^{\circ}C$ in this investigation. PL spectrum of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ thin films showed broad band luminescence spectrum.

ZnO, ZnO: Cu, Ga, and ZnO: Cu, Ga, Ag thin films were obtained by oxidization of ZnS and ZnS: Cu, Ga films deposited onto glass substrates by electron-beam evaporation from ZnS and ZnS: Cu, Ga targets and from ZnS: Cu, Ga film additionally doped with Ag by the closed space sublimation technique at atmospheric pressure. The film thickness was about $1{\mu}m$. The oxidation was carried out at $600-650^{\circ}C$ in air or in an atmosphere containing water vapor. Structural characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the films were measured at 30-300 K using the excitation wavelengths of 337, 405 and 457.9 nm. As-deposited ZnS and ZnS: Cu, Ga films had cubic structure. The oxidation of the doped films in air or in water vapors led to complete ZnO phase transition. XRD and AFM studies showed that the grain sizes of oxidized films at wet annealing were larger than of the films after dry annealing. As-deposited doped and undoped ZnS thin films did not emit PL. Shape and intensity of the PL emission depended on doping and oxidation conditions. Emission intensity of the films annealed in water vapors was higher than of the films annealed in the air. PL of ZnO: Cu, Ga films excited by 337 nm wavelength exhibits UV (380 nm) and green emission (500 nm). PL spectra at 300 and 30 K excited by 457.9 and 405 nm wavelengths consisted of two bands - the green band at 500 nm and the red band at 650 nm. Location and intensities ratio depended on the preparation conditions.

Vertically well-aligned Ga-doped ZnO nanorods with different Ga contents were grown by thermal evaporation on a ZnO template. The Ga-doped ZnO nanorods synthesized with 50 wt % Ga with respect to the Zn content showed maximum compressive stress relative to the ZnO template, which led to a rapid growth rate along the c-axis due to the rapid release of stored strain energy. A further increase in the Ga content improved the conductivity of the nanorods due to the substitutional incorporation of Ga atoms in the Zn sites based on a decrease in lattice spacing. The p-n diode structure with Ga-doped ZnO nanorods, as a n-type, displayed a distinct white light luminescence from the side-view of the device, showing weak ultraviolet and various deep-level emissions.

The $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphor was synthesized through solid-state reactions at the various molar ratio of Mn from 0.002 % to 0.01 %. Structural and optical properties of the $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphor was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements. The XRD patterns show that the Mn-doped $ZnGa_2O_4$ has a (311) main peak and a spinel phase. Also the emission wavelength shifts from 420 to 510 nm in comparison with $ZnGa_2O_4$ when Mn is doped in $ZnGa_2O_4$. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$:Mn phosphors hold promise for potential applications in field-emission display devices with high brightness operating in green spectral regions.

In order to improve the brightness and chromaticity of green emitting low voltage phosphor for FED, we examine PL, PLE and CL emission characteristics of ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O prepared in Ar and vacuum. ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O sintered in vacuum shows about 16 times as bright as the one fabricated in Ar and excellent chromaticity. In PL emission spectra of ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O at low temperature of 9 K, two peaks are observed at 504 nm and 513 nm. At room temperature, the two peaks are superimposed due to the lattice thermal vibrational energy, and only one peak is observed at 509 nm. From PLE measurements, it is believed that the energy levels of the host lattice and Mn ions are coexisted. The energy transfer from the host lattice to the emission center of Mn$^{2+}$ ions occurs.s.
