The $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticles about 30 nm were prepared using sol-gel method with metal nitrates dissolved in 2-methoxyathanol. The concentrations of the metal nitrates are adjusted from 0.1 to 0.75 M in order to study the influence on the structural and magnetic properties. The structure and morphology characterization revealed that the crystallinity was improved and the nanoparticle size was increased with the nutrition solution concentrations up to 0.5 M. Degraded crystallinity together with decreased nanoparticle size were observed for concentration of 0.75 M. The saturation magnetization at room temperature reached maximum at 0.5 M, which can be explained by considering the crystallinity and size effect.

An $Al_2O_3$-CuO-ZnO (ACZ) precursor powder was synthesized by a facial sol-gel process using a nonionic surfactant span 80 as the chelating agent to improve the surface area and morphology. When creating a hydrogen membrane, several kinds of properties are required, such as easy dissociation of hydrogen molecules, fast hydrogen diffusion, high hydrogen solubility, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. ACZ-Ni composite membranes (cermet) were prepared with this precursor and pure Ni powder via the hot press sintering (HPS) method. The ACZ powder was characterized by XRD, BET, and FE-SEM. Hydrogen permeation experiments were performed by Sievert's type of hydrogen permeation membrane equipment. The hydrogen permeability of ACZ/Ni 10 wt% and ACZ/Ni 20 wt% was obtained as 7.2 and $10molm^{-2}s^{-1}$ at RT, respectively. These values of the corresponding membranes were slightly increased with increasing pressures.

We have fabricated solution processed oxide semiconductor active layer for thin film transistors (TFTs). The oxide semiconductor layers were prepared by ink-jet printing the sol-gel precursor solution based on doped-ZnO. Inorganic ZnO-based thin films have drawn significant attention as an active channel layer for TFTs applications alternative to conventional Si-based materials and organic semiconducting materials, due to their wide energy band gap, optical transparency, high mobility, and better stability. However, in spite of such excellent device performances, the fabrication methods of ZnO related oxide active layer involve high cost vacuum processes such as sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. Herein we introduced the ink-jet printing technology to prepare the active layers of oxide semiconductor. Stable sol-gel precursor solutions were obtained by controlling the composition of precursor as well as solvents and stabilizers, and their influences on electrical performance of the transistors were demonstrated by measuring electrical parameters such as off-current, on-current, mobility, and threshold voltage. Microstructure and thermal behavior of the doped ZnO films were investigated by SEM, XRD, and TG/DTA. Furthermore, we studied the influence of the ink-jet printing conditions such as substrate temperature and surface treatment on the microstructure of the ink-jet printed active layers and electrical performance. The mobility value of the device with optimized condition was about 0.1-1.0 $cm^2/Vs$ and the on/off current ratio was about $10^6$. Our investigations demonstrate the feasibility of the ink-jet printed oxide TFTs toward successful application to cost-effective and mass-producible displays.

현재 세계적으로 화석연료의 고갈로 인해 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 모아지고 있다. 그중에서 태양전지가 가장 주목을 받고 있으며 태양전지는 크게 무기와 유기 태양전지로 구분된다. 실리콘 및 화합물 반도체를 이용한 무기 태양전지는 높은 에너지 변환 효율을 보이고 있으나 생산단가가 높아 화석연료로부터 얻는 에너지에 비해 경제성이 떨어진다. 그중에서 유기 태양전지는 무기 태양전지의 효율에는 미치지 못하지만 제작공정의 비용이 낮고, 투명하고 다양한 색을 나타낼 수 있으며, 특히 유연성을 바탕으로 원하는 제품의 디자인을 구현 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. Inverted 구조는 conventional 구조에 비해 Al과 같은 air-sensitive한 전극을 대체 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 sol-gel상의 ZnO를 스핀코팅 방법으로 박막을 형성하여 inverted 구조 형태의 유무기 하이브리드 태양전지를 제작하였으며, ZnO 코팅 공정 조건 (두께, 열처리 온도)에 따른 태양전지의 특성변화(광 변환효율 및 수명 등)를 관측하였다. 최적화된 ZnO의 공정조건에서 제작된 하이브리드 태양전지는 3% 이상의 광 변환효율과 1000시간 이상의 반감 수명을 가지는 우수한 특성을 보였다.

We studied the possibility of $Zn_4O(Ac)_2(OH)$ formation as a precursor for ZnO nano particles in sol-gel method. Four different additives such as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, mono ethanol amine (MEA), LiOH, and $H_2O$ were used for zinc acetate dissolved in 2-methoxy ethanol. ZnO particles of 5-6 nm in size were observed. Existence of $Zn_4O(Ac)_6$ was not verified. $Zn_4O(Ac)_2(OH)$ molecules were observed and they were believed to be the precursors of ZnO. A peak at 275nm in UV-Vis analysis was observed In the case of MEA and $H_2O$ but no ZnO particles were detected in transmission electron microscopy.

Nickel substituted nano-sized ferrite powders, $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$, $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$), were fabricated using a sol-gel method, and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were subsequently compared. The lattice constants decreased as quantity of nickel substitution increased, while the particle size decreased in $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite but increased for the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites. For the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$) ferrite powders, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the $Fe^{3+}$ ions. However, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum of $Mn_{0.8}Zn_{0.1}Ni_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ consisted of two Zeeman sextets and one single quadrupole doublet due to the ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic behavior. The area ratio of the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be used to determine the cation distribution equation, and we also explain the variation in the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ parameters by using this cation distribution equation, the superexchange interaction and the particle size. The saturation magnetization decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. The coercivity decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. These variations could thus be explained by using the site distribution equations, particle sizes and spin magnetic moments of the substituted ions.

We report on the ferromagnetic characteristics of $Zn_{1-x}Mn_xO$ films (x = 0.3) prepared by sol-gel method on the silicon and (0001) ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrates at the annealing temperature of 700$^{\circ}C$. Magnetic measurements show that Curie temperature ($T_C$) and the coercive field ($H_C$) for the film on the silicon are about 32 K and about 275 Oe, while those for that on the sapphire are about 32 K and 425 Oe, respectively. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements suggest that ferromagnetic precipitates originated by manganese oxide compound formed at the interfaces of the both substrates may be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic behavior of the films. Electron paramagnetic resonance study of the powders up to the concentration of x=0.15 supports the result.

ZnO nanoparticles in the size range from 5 to 15 nm were prepared by zinc-lithium-acetate system. The morphologies and structures of ZnO were characterized by TEM, XRD and FT-IR spectra. UV-visible results shows that the absorption of ZnO nanoparticles is blue shifted with decrease in particles size. Furthermore, photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanoparticles were also investigated. The ZnO nanoparticles have strong visible-emission intensity and their intensities depend upon size of ZnO nanoparticles.
