Lithium storage electrodes for rechargeable batteries require mixed electronic-ionic conduction at the particle scale in order to deliver desired energy density and power density characteristics at the device level. Recently, lithium transition metal phosphates of olivine and Nasicon structure type have become of great interest as storage cathodes for rechargeable lithium batteries due to their high energy density, low raw materials cost, environmental friendliness, and safety. However, the transport properties of this family of compounds, and especially the electronic conductivity, have not generally been adequate for practical applications. Recent work in the model olivine LiFePO$_4$, showed that control of cation stoichiometry and aliovalent doping results in electronic conductivity exceeding 10$^{-2}$ S/cm, in contrast to ~10$^{-9}$ S/cm for high purity undoped LiFePO$_4$. The increase in conductivity combined with particle size refinement upon doping allows current rates of >6 A/g to be utilized while retaining a majority of the ion storage capacity. These properties are of much practical interest for high power applications such as hybrid electric vehicles. The defect mechanism controlling electronic conductivity, and understanding of the microscopic mechanism of lithiation and delithiation obtained from combined electrochemical and microanalytical techniques, will be discussed

현재 초고속 가공 공구의 국내 시장은 150억원이며 향후 3년 내에 1500억원으로 급성 장활 전망이다. 무윤활 초고속 가공을 실현하기 위해서는 윤활특성이 우수한 초고경도 코팅의 개발이 필요하며 이를 통해 기계설비의 수명향상과 폐유문제 해결을 기대할 수 있다. 기존의 고체윤활 코팅은 초고경도 코팅의 상부에 $MoS_2$, Graphite 등 윤활성 박막을 합성하였으나, 이들은 Hexagonal 구조의 연질 박막이며 수분이 존재하는 대기중에서는 윤활 및 내마모 특성이 급격히 저하된다. 환경친화 대체소재 개발의 일원으로 TiN, ZrN 박막 등이 이미 개발되었고 기계적 특성이 우수하여 널리 응용되고 있으나 아직 경도(약 20GPa 내외) 및 윤활성의 한계 (마찰계수 $\mu=O.6$)를 극복하지 못하고 있다. TiN박막 위의 Cu의 첨가는 TiN의 구조와 성질을 크게 변화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 TiN 기지 위에 Cu를 도핑함으로써 경도의 상승을 통환 내구력의 향상과 마찰계수의 감소를 통한 윤활성의 향상을 보고자하였다. TiN합성의 안정화를 위하여 magnetron sputtering과 arc ion pIatingd을 병용한 hybrid 공정을 이용하였다. Cu첨가에 따른 결정 성장 거동의 변화를 보기 위해 XRD 분석을 실행하였고, EDS 분석을 통해 Cu target 전류밀도에 의한 기지내의 Cu의 함량변화를 고찰하였으며, 경도 및 윤활특성을 고찰하기 위해서 경도 시험과 마모 시험(ball-on disc type test)를 하였다.

Recently, lithium transition metal phosphates with an ordered olivine-type structure, $LiMPO_4$ (M=Fe, Mn, Ni, and Co), have attracted extensive attention due to a high theoretical specific capacity (170 mAh/g). The $LiMPO_4$ is the most attractive because of its high stability, low cost, high compatibility with environment. However, it is difficult to attain its full capacity because its electronic conductivity is very low, and diffusion of Li-ion in the olivine structure is slow and the supervalue cation doping was used. In this research, we are used the supervalue cation doping methode such as Cu, Ti, and Mg were partially replace the Fe. The cycling performance resulted of the used $LiM_xFe_{1_x}PO_4$ cathode materials for lithium batteries exhibit excellent high capacity than $LiFePO_4$/Li cells.

Ti-Cu-N and Ti-Ag-N nanocomposite films with various copper and silver contents were synthesized by arc ion plating and magnetron sputtering hybrid system. The structure and mechanical properties of these films were found to be dependant on the copper and silver concentration. The maximum hardness of Ti-Cu-N and Ti-Ag-N films showed approximately 40 ㎬ below 2 at%Me. The role of soft metallic phase in Ti-Me-N nanosturctured films containing one hard and one soft phase is also discussed.

Thin film batteries can be used as a micro power source for electronic in which minute power is needed. In this study, lithium phosphorous oxynitride(LIPON) thin films were deposited as an eletrolyte for lithium ion batteries using RF magentron sputtering of lithium phosphate in N2. Ti was also added into the LIPON films as a second network former to enhance the ioinc conductivity of the films. The optimum conditions for LIPON film deposition were sought and the electrolyte with the conductivity of $2.5 \times 10^{-6}$S/cm was obtained at the condition of RF power 4.4 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, process pressure 10 mtorr and pure nitrogen ambience. Furthermore, the conductivity of LIPON films was increased from $2.5 \times 10^{-6}$S/cm to $8.6 \times 10^{-6}$S/cm by the doping of 2.4at.% Ti. It was also found that by adding Ti to LIPON films, Li content was increased and nitrogen content that reported having the cross-linking effect on LIPON films was also increased as confirmed XPS.

In this study general solar cell production process was complemented, with research on improvement of solar cell efficiency through surface structure and thermal annealing process. Firstly, to form the pyramid structure, the saw damage removal (SDR) processed surface was undergone texturing process with reactive ion etching (RIE). Then, for the formation of smooth pyramid structure to facilitate uniform doping and electrode formation, the surface was etched with HND(HF : HNO3 : D.I. water=5 : 100 : 100) solution. Notably, due to uniform doping the leakage current decreased greatly. Also, for the enhancement and maintenance of minority carrier lifetime, antireflection coating thermal annealing was done. To maintain this increased lifetime, front electrode was formed through Au plating process without high temperature firing process. Through these changes in two processes, the leakage current effect could be decreased and furthermore, the conversion efficiency could be increased. Therefore, compared to the general solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 15.89%, production of high efficiency solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 17.24% was made possible.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has attracted significant attention for high frequency, high temperature and high power devices due to its superior properties such as the large band gap, high breakdown electric field, high saturation velocity and high thermal conductivity. We performed Al ion implantation processes on n-type 4H-SiC substrate using a SILVACO ATHENA numerical simulator. The ion implantation model used a Monte-Carlo method. We studied the effect of channeling by Al implantation simulation in both 0 off-axis and 8 off-axis n-type 4H-SiC substrate. We have investigated the Al distribution in 4H-SiC through the variation of the implantation energies and the corresponding ratio of the doses. The implantation energies controlled 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 keV and the implantation doses varied from $2\times10^{14}$ to $1\times10^{15}cm^{-2}$. In the simulation results, the Al ion distribution was deeper as increasing implantation energy and the doping level increased as increasing implantation doses. After the post-implantation annealing, the electrical properties of Al-implanted p-n junction diode were investigated by SILV ACO ATLAS numerical simulator.

Bismuth is a promising anodic for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its adequate operating voltage and high-volume capacity (3,765 mAh cm^-3). Nevertheless, inevitable volume expansion during Bi alloy reactions leads to severe capacity loss and cell destruction. To address this, a complex of bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Bi@NC) embedded in an N doping-carbon coating is fabricated via a simple pyrolysis method. Nano-sized bismuth alloys can improve the reaction dynamics through a shortened Li⁺-ion diffusion path. In addition, the N-doped carbon coating effectively buffers the volume change of bismuth during the extended alloy/dealloy reaction with Li⁺ ions and maintains an effective conductive network. Based on the Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed high bismuth alloy loading (80.9 wt%) and maintained a high gravimetric capacity of 315 mAh g^-1 up to 100 cycles with high volumetric capacity of 845.6 mAh cm^-3.

For the applications in optical waveguides and devices, LiNbO_3$ single crystals need to overcome the weakness of optical damage due to the inhomogeneities of laser-induced refractive index. This problem can be solved by doping of Mg in LiNbO_3$ and proton exchange of LiNbO_3$. In this study, to understand the mechanism of optical damage resistance in LiNbO_3$, the changes of lattice defects in LiNbO_3$ caused by MgO doping and acid treatment were observed indirectly by $OH^-$ absorption bands using a FT-IR spectrophotometer. The effect of lattice defects on temperature, heat-treatment and polishing were also investigated. It is shown that MgO doping increases optical damage resistance by generating the defects of $Mg_{Nb}^{2+}$ in the lattice of LiNbO_3$, and that proton exchange by implantation of $H^+$ ion in the hexagonally closest packed oxygen layers on the surface of LiNbO_3$, makes lattice defects, which diffuse into the crystal after heat-treatment above $400^{\circ}C$.
