When water is evaporated quickly from a water-based colloidal suspension, colloidal particles protrude from the water surface, distorting it and generating lateral capillary forces between the colloidal particles. The protruded colloidal particles are then assembled into ordered colloidal crystalline domains that float on the water surface on account of their having a lower effective density than water. These colloidal crystal domains then assemble together by lateral capillary force and convective flow; the generated colloidal crystal has grain boundaries. The single domain size of the colloidal crystal could be controlled, to some extent, by changing the rate of water evaporation, but it seems very difficult to fabricate a single crystal over a large area of the water's surface without reorienting each colloidal crystal domain. To reorient such colloidal crystal domains, a glass plate was dipped into the colloidal suspension at a tilted angle because the meniscus (airwaterglass plate interface) is pinned and thinned by further water evaporation. The thinning meniscus generated a shear force and reoriented the colloidal crystalline domains into a single domain.

Shaped crystal growth apparatus were made for sapphire ribbon single crystal growth. Sapphire ribbon single crystal are grown by EFG(Edge-defined Film-fed Growth) methdo for use as watch-glass and SOS(Silicon-On-Sapphire) devices. Sapphire ribbon crystals were grown to be 40min wide, 1.8mm thick, 96mm long. Therelationshiops between growth striation and surface roughness, with various growth rates, were investigated and compared. It was found that sapphire ribbon crystal is suitable for watch-glass by measuring the transmittance in the visible light region.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films. $AgGaS_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-Insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaS_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=2.7284 eV-(8.695{\times}10^{-4} eV/K)T^2/(T+332 K)$. After the as-grown $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K.

To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $610^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the as-grown $CuGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cu-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CuGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{CU}$, $V_{Se}$, $Cu_{int}$, and $Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Cu-atmosphere converted $CuGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $CuGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $CuGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

The stoichiometric mix of evaporating materials for he CuInS₂ single crystal thin films was prepared. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuINS₂ mixed crystal was deposited on etched semi-insulator GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were 640℃ and 430℃, respectively and the thickness of the single crystal thin films was 2 ㎛. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility deduced from Hall data are 9.64x10/sup 22//㎥ and 2.95x10/sup -2/ ㎡/V·s, respectively at 293 K. he optical energy gap was found to be 1.53 eV at room temperature. From the photocurrent spectrum obtained by illuminating perpendicular light on the c-axis of the thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit coupling splitting ΔSo and the crystal field splitting ΔCr were 0.0211 eV and 0.0045 eV at 10K, respectively. From PL peaks measured at 10K, were can assign the 807.7 nm (1.5350 eV) peak to E/sub x/ peak of the free exciton emission, the 810.3 nm(1.5301 eV) peak to I₂ peak of donar-bound exciton emission and the 815.6 nm(1.5201 eV) peak to I₁ peak of acceptor-bound excition emission. In addition, the peak observed at 862.0 nm(1.4383 eV) was analyzed to be PL peak due to donor-acceptor pair(DAP).
