Anomalously large real space charge transfer through thick barries in GaAs asymmetric double quantum wells is studied by photoluminesence exitation. This inter-well excitonic transfer is very large when the barrier is the Al0.3Ga0.7As alloy, but disappears when the barrier is GaAs/AlAs digital alloy with an equivalent Al concentration of 0.28. These resilts combined with observed x and barrier thickness depence suggest that the spatial fluctuation of the atomic arrangment of Ga and Al in the alloy may be responsible for this transfer. This picture is supported by the quantum mechanical calculation in three dimensions which takes into account the side fluctuation effects.

Over last decade InGaN alloy structures have become the one of the most promising materials among the numerous compound semiconductors for high efficiency light sources because of their direct band-gap and a wide spectral region (ultraviolet to infrared). The primary cause for the high quantum efficiency of the InGaN alloy in spite of high threading dislocation density caused by lattice misfit between GaN and sapphire substrate and severe built-in electric field of a few MV/cm due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations is generally known as the strong exciton localization trapped by lattice-parameter-scale In-N clusters in the random InGaN alloy. Nonetheless, violet-emitting (390 nm) conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) show the degradation in internal quantum efficiency compared to blue-emitting (450 nm) MQWs owing higher In-content due to the less localization of carrier and the smaller band offset. We expected that an improvement of internal quantum efficiency in the violet region can be achieved by replacing the conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs with ultra-thin, high-In-content (UTHI) InGaN/GaN MQWs because of better localization of carriers and smaller quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). We successfully obtain the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown via employing the GI technique by using the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. In this work, 1 the optical and structural properties of the violet-light-emitting UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown by employing the GI technique in comparison with conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs were investigated. Stronger localization of carriers and smaller QCSE were observed in UTHI MQWs as a result of enlarged potential fluctuation and thinner QW thickness compared to those in conventional low-In-content MQWs. We hope that these strong carrier localization and reduced QCSE can turn the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs into an attractive candidate for high efficient violet emitter. Detailed structural and optical characteristics of UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs compared to the conventional InGaN/GaN MQWs will be given.

PURPOSE: The purpose of our study was to compare a 975-nm, 500-mW GaAlAs low-level laser therapy versus placebo low-level laser therapy with regard to the immediate changes on the myofascial trigger point of the dominant upper trapezius muscle in subjects with rounded shoulder posture. METHODS: Thirty-two male college students with rounded shoulder posture and shoulder pain consented to participate in the experiment. The subjects were randomly assigned to a 2-minute procedure with either an active GaAlAs low-level laser or a placebo GaAlAs low-level laser. The pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg were measured with an algometer before and after the laser treatments. RESULTS: The active GaAlAs low-level laser group showed significant changes in pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg (p<0.05). The placebo GaAlAs low-level laser group showed no significant changes in either pressure-pain threshold or visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: An immediate effect was observed in pressure-pain threshold and visual analog scale on tenderness at 3 kg following a 2-minute application ($857.14J/cm^2$) of a 975-nm, 500-mW GaAlAs low-level laser to the myofascial trigger point of the dominant upper trapezius muscle in patients with rounded shoulder posture.

We fabricated two different transparent conducting oxide thin films of ZnO doped with Ga ($Ga_2O_3$ 0.9 wt%) as well as Al ($Al_2O_3$ 2.1 wt%) (GAZO) and ZnO doped only with Al ($Al_2O_3$ 3 wt%) (AZO). It was investigated how it affects the moisture resistance of the transparent electrode. In addition, $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ thin film solar cells with two transparent oxides as front electrodes were fabricated, and the correlation between humidity resistance of transparent electrodes and device performance of solar cells was examined. When both transparent electrodes were exposed to high temperature distilled water, they showed a rapid increase in sheet resistance and a decrease in the fill factor of the solar cell. However, AZO showed a drastic decrease in efficiency at the beginning of exposure, while GAZO showed that the deterioration of efficiency occurred over a long period of time and that the long term moisture resistance of GAZO was better.

Laser direct dry etching is a new technique in semiconductor processing which has a lot of advantage, including decrease of etching-induced damage, maskless, photoresistiess, and high selectivity. This study presents characteristics of a laser direct dry etching for $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As/GaAs$ multi-layer structures for the first time. In this study, we were able to obtain the unusual aching profiles. The cross sectional analysis of etched groove was peformed for reaction characteristics and their applications.

Heteroface AlGaAs/GaAs drift solar cells with an active area conversion efficiency of 15.9% under one sun and AM 1.5 condition have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE). These drift solar cells have graded doping profiles in the base and emitter regions. The cells have a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 19.00 mA/cm\ulcorner an open circuit voltage(Voc) of 0.93 V, and f fill factor(FF) of 0.78, respectively. Conventional solar cells with fixed doping profiles were also grown by MBE for comparison with the drift solar cells. Even though the fabrication cost of MBE grown solar cell is higher, the expected highest conversion efficiency of the single or multiple cells could compensate for the increased cost, particularly in case of space applications.

In this thesis, an analytical model for Ⅰ-Ⅴ characteristics of an n-AlGaAs/GaAs Delta doped HEMT is proposed. 2-dimensional electron gas density, and conduction band edge profile are calculated from a self-consistent iterative solution of the Poisson equation. Parameters, e.g., the saturation velocity, 2-dimensional electron gas concentration, thickness of the doped and undoped layer(AlGaAs, GaAs, spacer etc.,) are in good agreement with the independent calculations.

The $^{67}Ga$ has somewhat long physical and biological half livies with 78 hours and 600 hours respectively, so we can get $^{67}Ga-scan$ images for 3 or more days after once injection of $^{67}Ga$. Furthermore $^{67}Ga$ scan would be useful to search some residual tumors after surgical removal of the tumors trapped with $^{67}Ga$. However $^{67}Ga$ bound with plasma proteins would be delayed in plasma clearance as approximately 10% of the dose remains in the plasma at 24 hours. If the remained $^{67}Ga$ in the plasma is redistributed into the surgical wound, we wouldn't evaluate the degree of the tumor remained after surgery. So the authors examined the amounts of the remained blood $^{67}Ga$ and the redistribution of the blood $^{67}Ga$ into the artificial wound with S or more centimeters in the diameter at the neck and chest of the rabbits. The results were as follows; 1) The $^{67}Ga$ remained in the plasma were 12%, 5.7%, 4.2% at 24, 48 and 72 hours after $^{67}Ga$ injection respectively. 2) The blood $^{67}Ga$ were redistributed into the artificial wound with 5.9% at 48 hours and 6.9% at 72 hours after $^{67}Ga$ injection.

InAs는 0.35eV의 낮은 밴드갭을 가지며 상온에서 약 $30,000cm^2/Vs$의 높은 전자이동도를 보여, GaAs/AlGaAs 및 InGaAs/InP 2DEG HEMT에 이은 차세대 초고속 전자소자의 2DEG용 물질로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 InAs의 격자상수는 약 0.61nm로 이에 적절한 반절연기판을 구할수 없어, GaAs상에 Al(Ga)Sb를 이용하여 성장하는 방법으로 2DEG을 실현하고 있다. 상기 방법으로 상온에서 ${\sim}30,000cm^2/Vs$ 전자이동도를 보이는 InAs/AlSb 2DEG HEMT 소자를 여러 연구팀에서 시현하였으나, 실제적으로 응용하기 위해서 etch-stop층 또는 contact층의 제작이 용이치 않아 실제의 회로구현에는 어려움을 격고 있다. 이에 InGaAs/InP 2DEG내에 InAs를 넣어 InAs 2DEG을 제작하는 방법이 NTT[1]에 의해 제안되어, SPINTRONICS등의 InAs 2DEG이 필요한 곳에 응용되고 있다. [2] 본 발표에서는 고품질의 InAs 2DEG을 실현하기 위해, 다양한 성장 변수 (온도, As 분압, 성장 시퀀스, InAs층의 두께등)와 2DEG의 전기적특성간의 관계를 발표한다. 최종적으로 상온전자이동도 ${\sim}12,000cm^2/Vs$의 InAs 2DEG을 제작할수 있었으며, 이를 다양한 전자소자에 차후 응용할 예정이다.
