A stoichiometric mixture for $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. The $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was grown in the three-stage vertical electric furnace by using Bridgman method. The $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was evaluated to be tetragonal by the power method. The (001) growth plane of oriented $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal was confirmed from back-reflection Laue patterns. The carrier density and mobility of $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.61\times 1016 \textrm {cm}^{-3}$ and 242 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $1.4750ev - (7.69\times10^{-3})\; ev/k)\;T^2$/(T + 2147k).The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal have been estimated to be 0.2704 eV and 0.1465 eV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the $\Delta$so definitely exists in the $\Gamma_7$ states of the valence band of the $CdIn_2Te_4$ single crystal. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1-} B_{1-}$ and Cl-exciton peaks for n = 1.

Effects of evaporation processes and a reduction annealing on thermoelectric properties of the Sb-Te thin films prepared by thermal evaporation have been investigated. The thin film evaporated by using the powders formed by crushing a $Sb_2Te_3$ ingot as an evaporation source exhibited a power factor of $2.71{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$. The thin film processed by evaporation of the mixed powders of Sb and Te as an evaporation source showed a power factor of $0.12{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$. The thin film fabricated by coevaporation of Sb and Te dual evaporation sources possessed a power factor of $0.73{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$. With a reduction annealing at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, the power factors of the films evaporated by using the $Sb_2Te_3$ ingot-crushed powders and coevaporated with Sb and Te dual evaporation sources were remarkably improved to $24.1{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$ and $40.2{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$, respectively.

This research was practiced to comparative investigate the distribution of sensory and motor neuron linkaged with Yangji(TE4) by using neural-tracer technology. A total 16 S-D rats were used in the present research. After anesthesia, the rats received micro-injection of $6{\mu}{\ell}$ of cholera toxin B subunit(CTB) into the relation positions of the Yangji(TE4), in the human body for observing the distribution of the linkaged sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia(DRGs) and motor neurons in the spinal cord(C3~T4) and sympathetic ganglia. 3 days after the micro injection, the rats were anesthetized and transcardially perfused saline and 4% paraformaldehyde, followed by routine section of the DRGs, sympathetic chain ganglia(SCGs) and spinal cord. Marked neurons and nerve fibers were detected by immunohistochemical method and observed by light microscope. The marked neurons were recorded and counted. From this study the distribution of primary sensory and motor neurons linkaged with Yangji(TE4) were concluded as follows. Yangji(TE4) dominated by spinal segments of C5~T1, C6~T4, individually.

We have investigated growth of CdTe thin films by using (As, GaAs) buffer layers for application of large scale IR focal plane arrays(IFPAs). Buffer layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE), which reduced the lattice mismatch of CdTe/Si and prevented native oxide on Si substrates. CdTe thin films were grown by metal organic chemical deposition system(MOCVD). As a result, polycrystalline CdTe films were grown on Si(100) and arsenic coated-Si(100) substrate. In other case, single crystalline CdTe(400) thin film was grown on GaAs coated-Si(100) substrate. Moreover, we observed hillock structure and mirror like surface on the (400) orientated epitaxial CdTe thin film.

The single crystals of $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te$ and $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te:Co^{2+}$(0.001%) were grown by vertical Bridgman method. Optical absorption properties of this compound were studied. As a result of the optical absorption spectra of $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te$, absorption peaks were related to exciton and the exciton level redshifts with increasing temperature, and temperature coefficient given to the value of $-5.8{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K$ for the temperature range above 100 K. in the $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te:Co^{2+}$(0.001%) single crystal, the intracenter transitions due to $Co^{2+}$ ions were detected for $A-band:^4A_2(^4F) {\to}^4T_1(^4F),\; B-band:\; ^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4P)$, and the charge transfer transition near the absorption edge was observed in the wavelength range of 500 to 800 nm. According to the crystal field theory and Lucovsky formula, the crystal field parameter, Racah parameter and charge transfer energy were determined.

Nonlinear optical properties of TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses were investigated and their correlation with struc-tural modification was investigated. Third-order nonlinear susceptibility $\chi$, ranged between 5.0$\times$10-13 esu and 10.7$\times$10-13 esu which are approximately 20-40 times larger than that of silica glass. The glass with a composition of 85(80TeO2-20PbO)-15GeO2(mol%) seemed to provide an optimum compromise between $\chi$and the stability against crystallization. Analyses of the Raman spectra suggested that these glasses are mainly composed of [TeO4] tbp, [TeO3]tp and [GeO4] tetrahedral structural units. It was concluded that the positive contribution of Pb2+ with high polarizability to $\chi$ in TeO2-PbO glasses overwhelmed the negative influence due to the structural modification of [TeO4]tbplongrightarrow[TeO3]tp. On the other hand addition of GeO2 in TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses resulted in the decrease of $\chi$ values. This behavior was attributed to the formation of [GeO4] polyhedra at the expense of [TeOn] polyhedra and Pb2+ ions which normally sowed a higher contribu-tion to $\chi$ than [GeO4] polyhedra.

The n-type $Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$ powders were fabricated by melting/grinding method and were hot-pressed in order to compare thermoelectric properties of the hot-pressed specimens with those of the $Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$ ingot. Effects of mechanical milling treatment of the $Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$ powders on thermoelectric characteristics of a hot-pressed specimen were also examined. The hot-pressed $Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$ exhibited power factors of $27.3{\sim}32.3{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$ which were superior to $24.2{\times}10^{-4}W/m-K^2$ of the ingot. The $Bi_2(Te,Se)_3$, hot-pressed after mechanical milling treatment of the powders, possessed a non-dimensional figure-of-merit of 1.02 at $100^{\circ}C$ and exhibited extrinsic-intrinsic transition at $130^{\circ}C$.

The crystallization speed (v) of amorphous (InTe)$_x$(GeTe) (x = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5) films and their thermal, optical and electrical behaviors have been investigated using nano-pulse scanner (wavelength = 658 nm, laser beam diameter < 2 ${\mu}m$), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 4-point probe and UV-vis-IR spectrophotometer. These results were compared with those of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) film, comprehensively utilized for phase-change random access memory (PRAM). Both v-value and thermal stability of (InTe)$_{0.1}$(GeTe) and (InTe)$_{0.3}$(GeTe) films could be enhanced in comparison with those of the GST. Contrarily, the v-value in the (InTe)$_{0.5}$(GeTe) film was so drastically deteriorated that we could not quantitatively evaluate it. This deterioration is thought because amorphous (InTe)$_{0.5}$(GeTe) film has relatively high reflectance, resulting in too low absorption to cause the crystallization. Conclusively, it could be thought that a proper compositional (InTe)$_x$(GeTe) films (e.g., x < 0.3) may be good candidates with both high crystallization speed and thermal stability for PRAM application.
