Gd-doped ZnO thin films were prepared with different growth temperatures by using a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method. The deposited samples were characterized by using the X-ray diffractometer, the scanning electron microscopy, and the photoluminescence spectroscopy. All of the films show an average transmittance of about 85% in the wavelength range from 400 to 1100 nm.

As an era of nano science approaches, the understanding on the shape and optical properties of various materials in a nanoscale range is getting important more seriously than ever. Accordingly the development of high spatial-temporal-spectral resolution measurement tools for characterization of nanomaterials/structures is highly required. Generally, the various properties of sample can be measured independently, e.g. to observe the structural property of sample, we use the scanning electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, and to observe optical property, we have to use another independent measurement tool such as photoluminescence spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy. In the case of nano-materials, however, it is very difficult to find out the same position of sample at every different measurement processes, and the condition of sample can be changed by the influence of first measurement. The tip enhanced Raman scattering(TERS), which can simultaneously measure the two or more information of sample with nanoscale spatial resolution, is one of solutions of this problem. In this talk, I will present our recent nano Raman scattering data of graphene that measured by TERS and optimized tip fabrication method for efficient experiment.

New functionalized siloles have been synthesized and their optical characterizations are investigated. Silole unit has been interested, since silole has a unique optical and electronic properties. Here we report the synthesis of new type of photoluminescent silole. New siloles have been characterized by NMR, FTIR, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Their optical characteristics have been also investigated using photoluminescence spectroscopy. Possible applications such as OLED and chemical sensors will be presented.

This paper reports on photoluminescence (PL), luminescence decay curves, and compositional analysis of porous silicon(PS) which is aged under air ambient by Fourier transform infrared vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR) and by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Porous silicos which has been aged under air ambient yields two PL band structures, i.e. blue/violet PL and red PL. The evolution of a blue/violet band is pronounced, especially for thin PS film which is prepared in dilute HF solution. The blue/violet PL band has been observed initially to increrase rapidly with aging, then saturated with further atmospheric aging. The ambient air aged PS exhibits a fast decay time of sub-nanosecond at room temperature and shows appreciably faster decay time than that at 20K. Atmospheric aging of this thin blue/violet luminescing PS yield non-stoichiometric oxide judging from the vibrational spectra of Si-O and AES analysis.

Siloles of considerable current interest, both because of their unusual electronic properties and because of their possible application as electron-transporting materials in devices such as light-emitting diodes (LED's) and chemical sensor. Siloles have been characterized by NMR, FT-IR, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Their optical characteristics have been also investigated using photoluminescence spectroscopy. Thus siloles exhibit a low reduction potential and a low-lying LUMO energy level, attributed to ${\sigma}^*-{\pi}^*$ conjugation arising from the interaction between the ${\sigma}^*$ orbital of the sigma-bonded silicon atom and the $\pi^*$ orbital of the butadiene moiety of the ring.

Multi-functionalized rugate porous silicon (PSi) for biosensor was developed by hydrosilylation with silole and its further reaction with biotin groups. PSi was generated by an electrochemical etching of silicon wafer in aqueous ethanolic HF solution PSi prepared by using etching conditions showed that many sharp spectral lines can be obtained in the optical reflectivity spectrum. 1,1-hydrovinyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole was obtained from the reaction of 1,1-dilithio-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene with dichlorovinylsilane. Multi-functionalized PSi with silole and biotin groups was characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Optical characteristics such as reflectivity and photoluminescence (PL) were observed. An increase of the reflection wavelength in the reflectivity spectrum by 20 nm was observed, indicative of a change in refractive indices induced by hydrosilylation of the silole and biotin groups to the rugate PSi. This red-shift was attributed to the replacement of some of the Si-H group of fresh rugate PSi with silole and biotin group.

Ag deposited N-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles were prepared via $NH_3$ plasma treatment. X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared $TiO_2$ samples. The plasma treatment did not change the phase composition and particle sizes of $TiO_2$ samples, but extended its absorption edges to the visible light region. The photocatalytic activities were tested in the degradation of an aqueous solution of a reactive dyestuff, methylene blue, under visible light. The photocatalytic activities of Ag deposited N-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles were much higher than Ag-$TiO_2$, N-$TiO_2$, and P25. A possible mechanism for the photocatalysis was proposed.

A visible light responsive N, Mo co-doped $TiO_2$ were prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction, TEM, $N_2$ adsorption, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared $TiO_2$ samples. Doping restrained the phase transformation from anatase to rutile and reduced the particle sizes. The band gap was much narrowed after N, Mo co-doping. The photocatalytic activities were tested in the degradation of an aqueous solution of a reactive dyestuff, methylene blue, under visible light. The photocatalytic activities of doped $TiO_2$ were much higher than that of neat $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic stability of N, Mo co-doped $TiO_2$ was much better than that of N doped $TiO_2$.

The utilization of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) in conjunction with cathodoluminescence (CL) has emerged as a valuable tool for the investigation of material optical properties. In recent years, this technique has facilitated significant advancements in the fields of plasmonics and quantum emitters by surpassing prior technical restrictions. The review commences by providing an outline of the diverse STEM-CL operating modes and technical aspects of the instrumentation. The review explains the fundamental physics of light production under electron beam irradiation and the physical basis for interpreting STEM-CL experiments for different types of excitations. Additionally, the review compares STEM-CL to other related techniques such as scanning electron microscope CL, photoluminescence, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy.

It is possible to enhance the color of the natural diamond with a high pressure high temperature(HPHT) process. We employed a pyrophyllite tube cell and cubic press apparatus for HPHT treatment on the brown colored Type II (5.6 GPa/ $1700^{\circ}C$/ 52 min), and Type I aB(5.6 GPa/ $1650^{\circ}C$/ 30 min) diamond samples. We investigated the microstructure, Types, fluorescence, properties of the diamonds with an optical microscopy, FT-IR, photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy, Diamond-View, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Two tinted brown diamonds changed into colorless just after the HPHT process. Optical microscopy showed that no crack and significant inclusion evolution occurred during the HPHT process except the small graphite spot appeared in Type I aB sample. FTIR spectrum confirmed that no Type, amber center, and platelet defect change with the HPHT treatment. Diamond-View could not distinguish the HPHT treated diamonds from the naturals. PL spectroscopy showed that N3 and H3 color centers remained even after HPHT process. Consequently, we successfully changed the color of diamonds into colorless by 5.6 GPa HPHT process.
