$In_{0.4}Al_{0.6}As$ 버퍼층의 성장온도 변화에 따른 $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As/In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ 다중양자우물(multiple quantum wells, MQWs)의 광학적 특성을 포토루미네션스(photoluminescence, PL)와 시간분해 포토루미네션스(time-resolved PL, TRPL) 측정을 이용하여 분석하였다. $In_{0.4}Al_{0.6}As$ 버퍼층은 기판의 온도를 $320^{\circ}C$에서 $580^{\circ}C$까지 다양하게 변화시키며 $1{\mu}m$ 성장하였으며, 그 위에 $In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ 층을 $480^{\circ}C$에서 $1{\mu}m$ 성장한 후 InGaAs/InAlAs MQWs을 성장하였다. MQWs는 6-nm, 4-nm, 그리고 2.5-nm 두께의 $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As$ 양자우물과 10-nm 두께의 $In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ 장벽으로 이루어졌다. 4-nm QW과 6-nm QW로부터 PL 피크가 나타났으나, $In_{0.4}Al_{0.6}As$ 성장온도 변화가 가장 큰($320^{\circ}C$에서 $580^{\circ}C$까지 변화) 시료는 6-nm QW에서의 PL 피크만 나타났다. 낮은 온도($320^{\circ}C$에서 $480^{\circ}C$까지 변화)에서 성장한 $In_{0.4}Al_{0.6}As$ 버퍼층 위에 성장한 MQWs의 PL 특성이 우수하게 나타났다. 발광파장에 따른 TRPL 결과로 4-nm QW과 6-nm QW에서의 캐리어 소멸시간을 얻었다.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), a new kind of carbon-based photo luminescent nanomaterial from chemically modified graphene oxide (CMGO) or chemically modified graphene (CMG), has attracted extensive research attention in the last few years due to its outstanding chemical, optical and electrical properties. To further extended its potential applications as optoelectronic devices, solar cells, bio and bio-sensors and so on, intensive research efforts have been devoted to the CMG. However, the CMG, a suspension of aqueous, have problematic since they are prone to agglomeration after drying a solvent. In this study, we synthesized the GQDs from graphite and deposited on silicon substrate by kinetic spray. The photo luminescent properties of deposited GQD films were analyzed and compared with initial GQDs suspension. In addition, its carbon properties were investigated with GQDs solution properties. The properties of deposited GQD films by kinetic spray were similar to that of the GQDs suspension in water. We could provide a pathway for silicon-based silicon based device applications. Finally, the well-adjusted GQD films with photo luminescence effects will show Energy-Down-Shift layer effects on silicon solar cells. The GQD layers deposited at nozzle scan speeds of 40, 30, 20, and 10 mm/s were evaluated after they were used to fabricate crystalline-silicon solar cells; the results indicate that GQDs play an important role in increasing the optical absorptivity of the cells. The short-circuit current density (Jsc) was enhanced by about 2.94 % (0.9 mA/cm2) at 30 mm/s. Compared to a reference device without a GQD energy-down-shift layer, the PCE of p-type silicon solar cells was improved by 2.7% (0.4 percentage points).

본 연구에서는 $Ga_2O_3$ 박막의 구조적 특성과 Ti/Au 전극을 증착하여 제작된 metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector 소자의 광학적, 전기적 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 유기 금속 화학 증착법(metal organic chemical vapor deposition, MOCVD)을 이용해 서로 다른 온도에서 $Ga_2O_3$ 박막을 성장하였다. 성장온도에 따라 $Ga_2O_3$의 결정상이 ${\varepsilon}$-상에서 ${\beta}$-상으로 변화하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. X-선 회절 분석(X-ray diffraction, XRD) 결과로 ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$의 결정구조를 확인하였고, 주사 전자 현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM) 이미지로 결정구조의 형성 메커니즘에 대해 논의하였다. 음극선 발광(Cathode luminescence, CL) 측정으로 $Ga_2O_3$의 발광성 천이에 관여하는 에너지 준위의 형성 원인에 대해 논의하였다. 제작된 MSM photodetector 소자의 외부 광에 대한 전류-전압 특성과 시간 의존성 on/off 광 응답 특성을 통해 ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$로 제작한 photodetector는 가시광보다 266 nm UV 파장 영역에서 훨씬 뛰어난 광전류 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

In recent years there have been many studies of InGaN/GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) in order to progress the performance of luminescence. Many previous literatures showed the performance of LEDs by changing the LED structures and substrates. However, the studies carried out by the researchers so far were very complicated and sometimes difficult to apply in practice. Therefore, we propose one simple method of changing the thickness and the numbers of multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in order to optimize their effects. In our research, we investigated electrical and optical properties by changing the well thickness and the number of quantum well (QW) pair in LED structures by growing the structure -inch Si (111) wafer. We defined the samples from LED_1 to LED_3 according to MQW structure. Samples LED_1, LED_2 and LED_3 consist of 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/ 4.5 nm), 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3 nm/4.5 nm) and 7-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/4.5 nm), respectively. We characterized electrical and optical properties by using electroluminescence (EL) measurement. Also, Efficiency droop was analyzed by calculating external quantum efficiency (EQE) with varying injection current. The EL spectra of three samples show different emission wavelength peaks, FWHM and the blueshift of wavelength caused by screening the internal electric field because of the effect of different MQW structure. The results of optical properties show that the LED_2 sample reduce the internal electric field in QW than LED_1 from EL spectra. the increase in the number of QW pairs reduces the strain and increase the In composition in MQW. And, the points of efficiency droop's peak show different trend from LED_1 to LED_3. It is related with the carrier density in active region. Thus, from the results of experiments, we are able to achieve high performance LEDs and a reduction of efficiency droop and emission wavelength blueshift by optimizing MQWs structure.

본 연구는 우리나라 해안단구의 형성과정을 종합적으로 해석하기 위해, 연구가 거의 드문 남해안의 중앙부에 위치한 광양만 일대 해안을 대상으로, 해안단구의 분포, 퇴적층의 층서 및 퇴적물의 이화학적 특성을 밝히고, OSL 절대연대 자료를 기초로 해안단구의 형성시기를 추정하였다. 해안단구 퇴적물을 포함하여 광양만에 분포하는 다양한 지형 구성물질의 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 지형 사이의 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았는데, 이는 광양만의 지형적 폐쇄성에 기인한 구성물질의 재순환 및 혼합의 결과로 판단된다. 광양만 일대 해안에는 규모가 작은 3단 이거 해안단구면이 발견된다. 고도가 가장 낮은 1면은 해발고도 $10{\sim}13m$에 분포하며, OSL 연대측정 및 퇴적물의 특성으로 보아, MIS 5a 시기에 형성된 것으로 판단된다. 광양만 일대의 융기율은 0.141m/ka로 계산되며, 이를 적용하면, 해안단구 2면(18-22m)은 MIS 5e, 3면($27{\sim}32m$)은 MIS 7시기의 후반에 형성된 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 신생대 플라이스토세 후반 우리나라 동해안과 남해안에서 지반 융기 및 해안단구의 발달 과정은 거의 유사했던 것으로 판단된다.

디지털 합금(digital alloy) InGaAlAs 다중 양자 우물(multiple quantum wells: MQWs) 구조의 열처리(rapid thermal annealing: RTA) 온도에 따른 발광 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)와 TRPL (time-resolved PL)를 이용하여 분석하였다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 $850^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시켜 RTA한 디지털 합금 MQWs의 PL 결과는 $750^{\circ}C$에서 RTA한 시료가 가장 강한 PL 세기와 가장 좁은 반치폭을 나타내었다. 이것은 $750^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 RTA하였을 때 비발광 재결합 센터가 감소하고 가장 매끄러운 경계면이 형성되는 것을 나타낸다. RTA 온도를 $800^{\circ}C$와 $850^{\circ}C$로 증가하였을 때 PL 피크는 청색편이 하였으며 PL 세기는 감소하였다. PL 피크의 청색편이는 RTA 온도가 증가함에 따라 InGaAs/InAlAs SPS (short-period superlattice)의 경계면에서의 Ga과 Al의 혼합(intermixing)으로 Al 함량이 증가한 것으로 설명되며, PL 세기의 감소는 경계면의 거칠기의 증가와 인듐의 상분리(phase separation)로 인한 비균일 조성(compositional fluctuation)으로 설명된다. RTA 온도를 증가하였을 때 PL 소멸시간은 증가하였으며, 이것은 비발광 재결합 센터(결정 결함)가 감소한 것을 나타낸다. 디지털 합금 InGaAlAs MQWs 시료의 PL 특성은 적절한 RTA 조건에서 현저히 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

Migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy법을 이용하여 GaAs 기판에 성장한 InAs 양자점(quantum dots: QDs)의 광학적 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)과 time-resolved PL을 이용하여 분석하였다. 시료 온도, 여기 광의 세기, 발광 파장에 따른 InAs/GaAs QDs (QD1)과 $In_{0.15}Ga_{0.85}As$ 캡층을 성장한 InAs/GaAs QDs (QD2)의 발광특성을 연구하였다. QD2의 PL 피크는 QD1의 PL 피크보다 장파장에서 나타났으며, 이것은 InGaAs 캡층의 In이 InAs 양자점으로 확산되어 양자점의 크기가 증가한 것으로 설명된다. 10 K에서 측정한 QD1과 QD2의 PL 피크인 1,117 nm와 1,197 nm에서 PL 소멸시간은 각각 1.12 ns와 1.00 ns이고, 발광파장에 따른 PL 소멸시간은 PL 피크 근처에서 거의 일정하게 나타났다. QD2의 PL 소멸시간이 QD1보다 짧은 것은 QD2의 양자점이 커서 파동함수 중첩이 향상되어 캐리어 재결합이 증가한 때문으로 설명된다.

Highly luminescent and monodisperse InP quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by a non-organometallic approach in a non-coordinating solvent. Fatty acids with well-defined chain lengths as the ligand, a non coordinating solvent, and a thorough degassing process are all important factors for the formation of high quality InP QDs. By varying the molar concentration of indium to ligand, QDs of different size were prepared and their absorption and emission behaviors studied. By spin-coating a colloidal solution of InP QD onto a silicon wafer, InP QD thin films were obtained. The thickness of the thin films cured at 60 and $200^{\circ}C$ were nearly identical (approximately 860 nm), whereas at $300^{\circ}C$, the thickness of the thin film was found to be 760 nm. Different contrast regions (A, B, C) were observed in the TEM images, which were found to be unreacted precursors, InP QDs, and indium-rich phases, respectively, through EDX analysis. The optical properties of the thin films were measured at three different curing temperatures (60, 200, $300^{\circ}C$), which showed a blue shift with an increase in temperature. It was proposed that this blue shift may be due to a decrease in the core diameter of the InP QD by oxidation, as confirmed by the XPS studies. Oxidation also passivates the QD surface by reducing the amount of P dangling bonds, thereby increasing luminescence intensity. The dielectric properties of the thin films were also investigated by capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) device. At 60 and $300^{\circ}C$, negative flat band shifts (${\Delta}V_{fb}$) were observed, which were explained by the presence of P dangling bonds on the InP QD surface. At $300^{\circ}C$, clockwise hysteresis was observed due to trapping and detrapping of positive charges on the thin film, which was explained by proposing the existence of deep energy levels due to the indium-rich phases.

ZnSe/ZnS, UV-blue luminescent core shell quantum dots, were synthesized via a thermal decomposition reaction of organometallic zinc and solvent coordinated Selenium (TOPSe) in a hot solvent mixture. The synthetic conditions of the core (ZnSe) and the shell (ZnS) were independently studied at various reaction temperature conditions. The obtained colloidal nanocrystals at corresponding temperatures were characterized for their optical properties by UV-vis, room temperature solution photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and further obtained powders were characterized by XRD, TEM, and EDXS analyses. The synthetic temperature condition to obtain the best PL emission intensity for the ZnSe core was 300 ${^{\circ}C}$, and for the optimum shell capping, the temperature was 135 ${^{\circ}C}$. At this temperature, solution PL spectrum showed a narrow emission peak at 427 nm with a PL efficiency of 15%. In addition, the measured particle sizes for the ZnSe/ZnS nanocomposite via TEM were in the range of 5 to 12 nm. Furthermore, we have synthesized water-soluble ZnSe/ZnS nanoparticles by capping the ZnSe/ZnS hydrophobic surface with mercaptoacetate (MAA) molecules. For the obtained aqueous colloidal solution, the UV-vis spectrum showed an absorption peak at 250 nm, and the solution PL emission spectrum showed a peak at 425 nm, which is similar to that for hydrophobic quantum dot ZnSe/ZnS. However, the calculated PL efficiency was relatively low (0.1%) due to the luminescence quenching by water and MAA molecules. The capping ligand was also characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, with the carbonyl stretching peak in the mercaptoacetate molecule appearing at 1575 $cm ^{-1}$. Finally, the particle sizes of the MAA capped ZnSe/ZnS were measured by TEM, showing a range of 12 to 17 nm.

New $\pi$-conjugated polymer with vinylene linkage, poly((10-hexyl-3,7-phenothiazine)-alt-(4-(4-butyl-phenyl)- 3,5-diphenyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazole)-3,5-vinylene) (PTV-TAZ) was synthesized by the Heck coupling reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) maximum wavelength and the band gap energy of PTV-TAZ film were 555 nm and 2.41 eV, respectively. The HOMO energy level of PTV-TAZ was -4.99 eV, which was slightly lower than that of PTV (-4.89 eV). Electron deficient aromatic 1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) in the polymer backbone does not affect the HOMO energy level significantly. The maximum efficiency and brightness of double layer structured electroluminescent (EL) device (ITO/PEDOT (30 nm)/PTV-TAZ (60 nm)/Al) were 0.247 cd/A and 553 cd/$m^2$, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the device based PTV (1.65 ${\times}\;10^{-4}$ cd/A and 4.3 cd/$m^2$). This is due to that TAZ unit improves electron transporting ability in the emissive layer. The turn-on voltage (defined as the voltage required to give a luminescence of 1 cd/$m^2$) of brightness of the device based on PTV-TAZ was 12.0 V, which was similar to that the based on PTV (11.5 V). This is due to that the ionization potential of PTV-TAZ is very similar to that of PTV.
