The photoconductive $CdGa_2Se4$ layer has been investigated using photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy as a function of temperature. Three peaks corresponding to the band-to-band transitions were observed in the PC spectra for all temperature ranges. Also, contrary to our expectation, the PC intensities decreased with decreasing temperatures. From the relation of log $J_{ph}$ vs 1/T, where $J_{ph}$ is the PC density, two dominant levels by the exponential variation of the PC with varying temperature were observed, one at high temperatures and the other at low temperatures.

In this article, a study of a flower like nanostructured CdS buffer layer for improving the performance of a submicron-thick $CuIn_{1-x}Ga_xSe_2$ (CIGS) solar cell (SC) is presented. Both its synthesis and properties are discussed in detail. The surface reflectance of the device is dramatically decreased. SCs with flower like nanostructured CdS buffer layers enhance short-circuit current density, fill factor, and open-circuit voltage. These enhancements contribute to an increase in power conversion efficiency of about 55% on average compared to SCs that don't have a flower like nanostructured CdS buffer layer, despite them both having the same CIGS light absorbing layer.

Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) thin films were formed using CIGS bulk by electron-beam evaporation method with an evaporation current from 20 mA to 90 mA. The experimental results showed that the chemical compositions and the properties of CIGS films varied with the different evaporation current. The Cu-rich CIGS film was deposited successfully with a band gap of 1.20 eV when the evaporation current was 90 mA.

2차원 metal monochalchogenides(MMC) 물질들 중 lattice mismatch가 가장 적은 GaSe와 InS의 $8{\times}1$ lateral heterostructure의 계면 원자 구조와 전자 구조를 Linear combination of atomic orbital 제일원리계산을 이용하여 연구하였다. Arm-chair 와 zigzag 계면에 대해 각각 두 가지 원자 구조를 고려하여 총 네 가지 계면 구조 모델을 정립하고, 각각의 계면에 대해 GaSe-InS의 비율을 다섯 단계(2:6, 3:5, 4:4, 5:3, 6:2)로 바꾸어 가며 relax된 원자구조의 특성과 계면 형성 에너지를 구하였다. 또한, 계면 전자구조 분석을 위하여, 계면으로부터의 위치에 따른 projected density of states의 변화를 규명하였다.

The energy gap of GaSe:$Er^{3+}$(5mol%) single crystals grown by the Bridgman technique displaced a direct energy gap at 1.79 eV and an indirect energy gap at 1.62 eV at $300^{\circ}K$ with the addition of Erbium. Also, an impurity optical absorption peak was found to have occurred at $6505\;cm^{-1}$. The peak identified the origin of the electronic transitions between the energy levels of $Er^{3+}$ ions when the addition of dopant.

The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the $ZnGa_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films were prepared from horizental furnace. To obtains the single crystal thin films, $ZnGa_2Se_4$ mixed crystal were deposited on throughly etched Si(100) by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The temperates of the source and the substrate were $590^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the 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.

광통신 분야에서 광신호의 장거리 전송에 따른 세기 감소를 보강하기 위해 쓰이는 광섬유증폭기는 현재 1.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역, 1.45 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역 및 1.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역에서 작동하는 희토류 이온 첨가 광섬유 광증폭기가 개발되어 쓰이고 있다. 한편 ETRI에서는 기존 광통신에 쓰이는 광 증폭기에 추가해 더 넓은 파장대를 광통신에 쓸 수 있도록 하는 새로운 파장대역의 광 증폭기 구현을 가능케하고 나아가 광통신 용량을 기존보다 휠씬 더 큰 10 Tbps급 이상으로 늘이기 위해 1.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장대인 U 밴드대 광증폭기용 광섬유인 Pr 첨가 셀레나이드 유리 조성의 신소재를 개발하였는데, 본 연구에서는 Ge-Sb-Ga-Se 계열의 Pr 첨가 셀레나이드 유리의 굴절률을 분광타원 법 (spectroscopic ellipsometry)을 사용하여 결정하였다.

The stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the polycrystal $CuInSe_2$, it was found tetragonal structure whose lattice constant $a_0$ and $c_0$ were $5.783\;{\AA}$ and $11.621\;{\AA}$, respectively. To obtain the $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film, $CuInSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) by the HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy) system. The source and substrate temperature were $620^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystalline structure of $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film was investigated by the 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 depending on temperature. From Hall data, the mobility was likely to be decreased by impurity scattering in the temperature range 30 K to 100 K and by lattice scattering in the temperature range 100 K to 293 K. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuInSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.1851\;eV-(8.99{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+153\;K)$. The open-circuit voltage, short current density, fill factor, and conversion efficiency of $n-CdS/p-CuGaSe_2$ heterojunction solar cells under $80\;mW/cm^2$ illumination were found to be 0.51V, $29.3\;mA/cm^2$, 0.76 and 14.3 %, respectively.

The thermal annealing effect of $Zn_{0.9}Cd_{0.1}$ single quantum-well structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated. As the results of before and after rapid thermal annealed samples a red shift of E1-HH1 peak by Cd interdiffusion during thermal annealing of ZnCeSe/ZnSe sample was observed. In the case of annealed sample over $450^{\circ}C$ donor and acceptor impurities related peaks were observed which seems to be due to a diffusion of Ga and As from GaAs substrate. And also interdiffusion phenomena is idenified by the results of DCX measurements and which are consisten with the PL measurements.

We have successfully grown Cl-doped ZnSe epitaxial layers on GaAs(100) sub-strates by HWE using $ZnCl_2$ as a doping source. The Cl-doped ZnSe layers showed mirrorlike morphology and good crystallinity. It has been found that the layer exhibited an n-type conduction with low resistivity. The carrier concentration is, obtained about $10^{16}\textrm {cm}^{-3}$, where a resistivity reached 10 $\Omega \textrm {cm}$. The layer with an appropriate doping level exhibited blue photoluminescence at room temperature. The strong blue PL was obtained at the hall mobility of $100^2\textrm {cm}$/Vㆍsec.
