Spectroscopic and thermal analysis indicates that tellurite glasses doped with $B_2O_3$ and $GeO_2$ are promising candidate host materials for wide-band erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with a high 980 nm pump efficiency. In this study, we measured the thermal stabilities and the emission cross-sections for $Er^{3+}:^{4}I_{13/2}\;{\to}\;^{4}I_{15/2}$ transition in this tellurite glass system. We also determined the Judd-Ofelt parameters and calculated the radiative transition rates and the multiphonon relaxation rates in this glass system. The 15 mol% substitution of $B_2O_3$ for $TeO_2$ in the $Er^{3+}-doped\;75TeO_2-20ZnO-5K_2O$ glass raised the multiphonon relaxation rate for $^4I_{11/2}\;{\to}\;^4I_{13/2}$ transition from 4960 $s^{-1}$ to 24700 $s^{-1}$, but shortened the lifetime of the $^4I_{13/2}$ level by 14 % and reduced the emission cross-section for the $^4I_{13/2}\;{\to}\;^4I_{15/2}$ transition by 11%. The 15 mol% $GeO_2$ substitution in the same glass system also reduced the emission cross-section but increased the lifetime by 7%. However, the multiphonon relaxation rate for $^4I_{11/2}{\to}^4I_{13/2}$ transition was raised merely by 1000 $s^{-1}$. Therefore, a mixed substitution of $B_2O_3$ and $GeO_2$ for $TeO_2$ was concluded to be suitable for the 980 nm pump efficiency and the fluorescence efficiency of $^4I_{13/2}{\to}^4I_{15/2}$ transition in $Er^{3+}-doped$ tellurite glasses.

본 연구에서는 RF/DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여co-sputtering 방법으로 성장시킨 고이동도를 갖는Ge-doped $In_2O_3$In2O3 (IGO) 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성을 평가하고, 이를 유기태양전지와 유기발광다이오드에 적용함으로써 고이동도 IGO 투명전극의 소자 적용가능성을 타진하였다. GeO2 타겟에 인가되는 도핑 Power와 급속열처리 온도가 30 W, $500^{\circ}C$일 때, 최적화 된 IGO 박막으로부터 $2.8{\times}10^{-4}$ Ohm-cm의 낮은 비저항과 86.9% (550 nm)의 높은 투과도를 확보하였다. 뿐만 아니라 Near Infra-red (750~1,200 nm) 영역에서의 IGO투명전극의 광투과율이 결정질의 ITO보다 높은(약15%) 투과도를 보이는 것을 통해 IGO박막의 높은 LAS (Lewis Acid Strength) 값을 가지는 Ge 원소의 도핑이 NIR 영역의 광투과율 향상에 미치는 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 최적 조건의 IGO 박막을 적용하여 Fill Factor 67.38%, Short circuit current density 8.43 mA/cm2, open circuit voltage 0.60 V, efficiency 3.44%의 유기태양전지 및 19.24%의 외부양자효율을 갖는 유기발광다이오드를 제작함으로써 결정질 ITO 전극(20.05%)을 대체할 수 있는 고투과, 고이동도 IGO 투명 전극 및 이를 이용한 광전소자 적용 가능성을 타진하였다.

근적외선에서 발광하는 새로운 증폭 매질인 Bi 첨가 알루미노실리케이트 유리의 용융 온도를 낮추면서도 증폭 특성이 향상될 수 있도록 금속 산화물을 첨가한 샘플을 제작하여 분광학적 특성을 분석하였다. $Li_{2}O$의 조성비가 증가하면 형광스펙트럼의 반폭치는 증가하지만 형광 강도가 저하되고, $GeO_{2}$의 영향으로는 반폭치와 형광 강도가 동시에 증가하였다. $GeO_{2}$를 첨가한 시료에서 광 증폭 특성을 측정한 결과, 이전의 벌크 샘플에서 얻었던 것보다 우수한 증폭 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

The effects of Pb5Ge3O11 on the sinterbility and lattice variation of the semiconducting 0.15 mol% Y2O3 doped BaTiO3 have been investigated as functions of additive contents (from 0.25 mol% to 2.5 mol%) and sintering temperatures (from 110$0^{\circ}C$ to 130$0^{\circ}C$). As the amount of Pb5Ge3O11 increases, the sinterbility of BaTiO3 increases abruptly at around 115$0^{\circ}C$. During the sintering, the most of Pb+2 ions in additives penetrate into BaTiO3 lattices and Ge+4 ions present at grain boundaries. Therefore the c lattice of the BaTiO3 increases largely and then the tetragonality increases due to the diffusion of the Pb+2 ions.

Thermal stability of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) and $SiO_2$ doped GST (SGST) films for phase change random access memory applications was investigated by observing the change of surface roughness, layer density and composition of both films after isothermal annealing. After both GST and SGST films were annealed at $325^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, root mean square (RMS) surface roughness of GST was increased from 1.9 to 35.9 nm but that of SGST was almost unchanged. Layer density of GST also steeply decreased from 72.48 to 68.98 $g/cm^2$ and composition was largely varied from Ge : Sb : Te = 22.3 : 22.1 : 55.6 to 24.2 : 22.7 : 53.1, while those of SGST were almost unchanged. It was confirmed that the addition of a small amount of $SiO_2$ into GST film restricted the deterioration of physical and chemical properties of GST film, resulting in the better thermal stability after isothermal annealing.

The effects of 0.15mol% Y2O3 doped semiconducting (Ba1-xPbx)TiO3 ceramics with 0.5 mol% Pb5Ge3O11 as sintering additives have been investigated as function of Pb contents (from 0.05 mol to 0.3 mol) and sintering temperatures (from 1050$^{\circ}C$ to 1200$^{\circ}C$). As the Pb content increases in the (Ba1-xPbx)TiO3 system, the size and resistance of the grain increase but the capacitance of the grain boundary decreases due to the formation of liquid phase during the sintering. And with increasing the sintering temperatures, the resistance of the grain decreases but the capacitance of the grain boundary increases. The PTCR effects decrease with increasing the Pb content and the sintering temperature.

In this paper author describe the undoped and $Co^{2+}$ (0.5mole%)doped $Cd_4GeS_6$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transporting reaction(CTR) method using high purity(6N) Cd, $GeS_2$, S elements. It was found from the analysis of X-ray diffraction that the undoped and $Co^{2+}$(0.5mole%) doped $Cd_{4}GeS_{6}$ compounds have a monoclinic structure in space grop Cc. The optical energy band gap was direct band gap and temperature dependence of optical energy gap was fitted well to Varshni equation. Impurity optical absorption peaks due to the doped cobalt in the $Cd_4GeS_6:Co^{2+}$ single crystal were observed at 3593cm-1, 5048cm-1, 5901cm-1, 7322cm-1, 12834cm-1, 13250cm-1, 14250cm-1，and 14975cm-1 at 11.3K.

While there are plenty of studies on synthesizing semiconducting germanium nanowires (Ge NWs) by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process, it is difficult to inject dopants into them with uniform dopants distribution due to vapor-solid (VS) deposition. In particular, as precursors and dopants such as germane ($GeH_4$), phosphine ($PH_3$) or diborane ($B_2H_6$) incorporate through sidewall of nanowire, it is hard to obtain the structural and electrical uniformity of Ge NWs. Moreover, the drastic tapered structure of Ge NWs is observed when it is synthesized at high temperature over $400^{\circ}C$ because of excessive VS deposition. In 2006, Emanuel Tutuc et al. demonstrated Ge NW pn junction using p-type shell as depleted layer. However, it could not be prevented from undesirable VS deposition and it still kept the tapered structures of Ge NWs as a result. Herein, we adopt $C_2H_2$ gas in order to passivate Ge NWs with carbon sheath, which makes the entire Ge NWs uniform at even higher temperature over $450^{\circ}C$. We can also synthesize non-tapered and uniformly doped Ge NWs, restricting incorporation of excess germanium on the surface. The Ge NWs with carbon sheath are grown via VLS process on a $Si/SiO_2$ substrate coated 2 nm Au film. Thin Au film is thermally evaporated on a $Si/SiO_2$ substrate. The NW is grown flowing $GeH_4$, HCl, $C_2H_2$ and PH3 for n-type, $B_2H_6$ for p-type at a total pressure of 15 Torr and temperatures of $480{\sim}500^{\circ}C$. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals clear surface of the Ge NWs synthesized at $500^{\circ}C$. Raman spectroscopy peaked at about ~300 $cm^{-1}$ indicates it is comprised of single crystalline germanium in the core of Ge NWs and it is proved to be covered by thin amorphous carbon by two peaks of 1330 $cm^{-1}$ (D-band) and 1590 $cm^{-1}$ (G-band). Furthermore, the electrical performances of Ge NWs doped with boron and phosphorus are measured by field effect transistor (FET) and they shows typical curves of p-type and n-type FET. It is expected to have general potentials for development of logic devices and solar cells using p-type and n-type Ge NWs with carbon sheath.

Dy $L_3$-edge XANES and EXAFS spectra of chalcogenide Ge-As-S glass doped with ca. 0.2 wt% dysprosium have been investigated along with some reference Dy-containing crystals. Amplitude of the white-line peak in XANES spectrum of the glass sample turns out to be stronger than that of other reference crystals, i.e., $DY_2S_3,\;Dy_2O_3\;and\;DyBr_3$. It has been verified from the Dy $L_3$-edge EXAFS spectra that a central Dy atom is surrounded by $6.7{\pm}0.5$ sulfur atoms in its first coordination shell in the Ge-As-S glass, which is relatively smaller than 7.5 of the $Dy_2S_3$ crystal. Averaged Dy-S inter-atomic-distance of the glass ($2.78{\pm}0.01{\AA}$) also turns out to be somewhat shorter than that of the $Dy_2S_3$ crystal ($2.82{\pm}0.01{\AA}$). Such nanostructural changes occurring at Dy atoms imply there being stronger covalency of Dy-S chemical bonds in the Ge-As-S glass than in the crystal counterpart. The enhanced covalency in the nanostructural environment of $Dy^{3+}$ ions inside the glass would then be responsible for optical characteristics of the $4f{\leftrightarrow}4f$ transitions of the dopants, i.e., increase of oscillator strengths and spontaneous radiative transition probabilities.
