  • Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) is emerging as a promising active material for next-generation solar cell applications because of its inexpensive and solution-processable characteristics as well as unique properties such as a tunable band-gap due to the quantum-size effect and multiple exciton generation. However, the most widely used spin-coating method for the formation of the quantum dot (QD) active layers is generally hard to be adopted for high productivity and large-area process. Instead, the spray-coating technique may potentially be utilized for high-throughput production of the CQD solar cells (CQDSCs) because it can be adapted to continuous process and large-area deposition on various substrates although the cell efficiency is still lower than that of the devices fabricated with spin-coating method. In this work, we observed that the subsequent treatment of two different ligands, halide ion and butanedithiol, on the lead sulfide (PbS) QD layer significantly enhanced the cell efficiency of the spray CQDSCs. The maximum power conversion efficiency was 5.3%, comparable to that of the spin-coating CQDSCs.

  • Recently, most studies concerning inorganic CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD)-polymer hybrid LEDs have been concentrated on the structure with multiple layers [1,2]. The QD LEDs used almost CdSe materials for color reproduction such as blue, green and red from the light source until current. However, since Cd is one of six substances banned by the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and classified into a hazardous substance for utilization and commercialization as well as for use in life, it was reported that the use of CdSe is not suitable to fabricate a photoelectronic device. In this work, we demonstrate a novel, simple and facile technique for the synthesis of ZnO-graphene quasi-core.shell quantum dots utilizing graphene nanodot in order to overcome Cd material including RoHS materials. Also, We investigate the optical and structural properties of the quantum dots using a number of techniques. In result, At the applied bias 10 V, the device produced bluish-white color of the maximum brightness 1118 cd/$m^2$ with CIE coordinates (0.31, 0.26) at the bias 10 V.

  • We have adopted the strain compensated PBH(planar buried heterostructure) - LD in which the MQW active layer consisted of 1.4% compressively strained GainAsP (E$_{g}$ = 0.905eV) wells and 0.7% tensile strained GaInAsP(E$_{g}$ = 1.107eV) barriers grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). We hav einvestigated effects of number of wells and the structure of the separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) layer in the strain-compensated MQW-PBH-LD. The threshold current, the external quantum efficiency, the transparency current density J$_{o}$, and the gain constant .beta. have been evaluated for uncoated MQW-PBH-LD. As the number of wells increases, the internal quantum efficiency and the transparency current density decreases, whereas the gain contant increases. The small width of the SCH layer shows the large internal quantum efficiency. The small internal loss and the large gain constant have been obtained by inserting the large bandgap SCH layer.

  • 저압 유기금속 화학증착법을 이용하여 (001) InP 기판 위에 격자 일치된 InAlAs 에 피층 성장 결과 620~$700^{\circ}C$범위에서 성장 온도가 증가할수록 산소 유입량의 감소 때문으로 생각되는 광학적 성질의 향상이 관찰되었으나 $750^{\circ}C$이상의 고온에서는 InP완충층의 열화에 의한 결정성의 감소가 발견되었다. 또한, AsH3의 유량이 증가됨에 따라 성장된 InAlAs층의 Al함유량이 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었고, 이는 Al-As와 In-As의 bond strength 차이로 설 명하였다. InGaAs/InAlAs 단일 양자우물구조에서 측정된 우물두께에 따른 photoluminescence peak energy는 계산 값과 잘 일치하였고, high resolution x-ray diffraction 측정을 통하여 뚜렷한 satellite peak와 fine thickness fringe들이 관찰되는 우수 한 계면특성을 가지는 다중 양자우물구조가 성장됨을 확인하였다.

  • Much interest has been focused on InGaN-based materials and their quantum structures due to their optoelectronics applications such as light emitting diode (LED) and photovoltaic devices, because of its high thermal conductivity, high optical efficiency, and direct wide band gap, in spite of their high density of threading dislocations. Build-in internal field-induced quantum-confined Stark effect in InGaN/GaN quantum well LED structures results in a spatial separation of electrons and holes, which leads to a reduction of radiative recombination rate. Therefore, many growth techniques have been developed by utilizing lateral over-growth mode or by inserting additional layers such as patterned layer and superlattices for reducing threading dislocations and internal fields. In this work, we investigated various characteristics of InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) LED structures grown on selectively wet-etched porous (SWEP) GaN template layer and compared with those grown on non-porous GaN template layer over c-plane sapphire substrates. From the surface morphology measured by atomic force microscope, high resolution X-ray diffraction analysis, low temperature photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation measurements, good structural and optical properties were observed on both LED structures. However, InGaN MQWs LED structures grown on SWEP GaN template layer show relatively low In composition, thin well width, and blue shift of PL spectra on MQW emission. These results were explained by rough surface of template layer, reduction of residual compressive stress, and less piezoelectric field on MQWs by utilizing SWEP GaN template layer. Better electrical properties were also observed for InGaN MQWs on SWEP GaN template layer, specially at reverse operating condition for I-V measurements.

  • The relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics in 405 nm blue laser diodes grown on wurtzite AlGaInN multiple quantum well structures were investigated using the rate equations with the quantum Langevin noise model. The device parameters were extracted from the optical gain properties of the MQW active region using the self-consistent numerical method developed for calculating the multiband Hamiltonian in the strained wurtzite crystal. These methods have been applied to laser diodes for various conditions including the external feedback and the high frequency current injection.

  • Epilayer growing process has been recognized as a key technology for successful GaAs based devices and integrations. These may include HEMT, multiple quantum well structures, band gap engineering, and quantum confinement heterostructures. The fabrication of epilayers in these devices must meet very stringent requirements in terms of crystallinity, composition, film thickness and interface quality. In particular, the quality of interfaces is getting more important because the film thickness, and flatness, roughness and stability at interface of ultrathin films cause critical effects on the device performance. This article reviews the current status of modern epitaxial techniques which have been developed in the last few years. First, the new techniques PLE, GI, MEE, TSL based on MBE technique will be reviewed and their technical importance will be stressed. Secondly, MOMBE, GSMBE, CBE which combine the advantages of MBE and MOCVD will also be discussed. Thirdly, the new sophisticated epitaxial technique, ALE, of which mechanism is totally different from others, will also be reviewed. Finally, areas which should be exploited more extensively to accomplish these techniques will be addressed.

  • This article reviews recent advances and perspectives in neuroscience related to consciousness, cognition, and neural networks in the brain. The neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, such as perception, attention, memory, and decision-making, are explored. The article also examines how these processes give rise to our experience of consciousness. The implications of these findings for our understanding of the brain and its functions are presented, as well as potential applications of this knowledge in fields such as medicine, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the article explores the concept of a quantum viewpoint concerning consciousness, cognition, and creativity and how incorporating DNA as a key element could reconcile classical and quantum perspectives on human behaviour, consciousness, and cognition, as explained by genomic psychological theory. Furthermore, the article explains how the human brain processes external stimuli through the sensory nervous system and how it can be simulated using an artificial neural network (ANN) consisting of one input layer, multiple hidden layers, and an output layer. The law of learning is also discussed, explaining how ANNs work and how the modification of weight values affects the output and input values. The article concludes with a discussion of future research directions in this field, highlighting the potential for further discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the brain and its functions.
