Single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at 410$^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $CuAlSe_2$ source at $680^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXO). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuAlSe_2$ obtained from the absorpt ion spectra was wel1 described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 2.8382 eV - ($8.86\times10^{-4}$ eV/H)$T_2$/(T + 155K). After the as-grown single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ thin films were annealed in Cu-, Se-, and Al-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ thin films has been investigated by PL at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{cd}$, $V_{se}$, $Cd_{int}$, and $Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as donors or acceptors. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Cu-atmosphere converted single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ thin films to an optical n-type. Also. we confirmed that hi in $CuAlSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Al in single crystal $CuAlSe_2$ thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

Single crystal $ZnIn_2S_4$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $450^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $ZnIn_2S_4$ source at $610^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) and double crystal X-ray rocking curve (DCRC). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=2.9514\;eV-(7.24{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T＋489\;K)$. After the as-grown $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films were annealed in Zn-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_S$, $Zn_{int}$, and $S_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that In in $ZnIn_2S_4$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

The artificial construction of well-defined low-dimensional (low-D) quantum structures, such as quantum wire (QWR) still attracts attention of many researchers due to their applications in room-temperature optoelectronic devices. In this work, the migration enhanced epitaxial growth (MEE) and the analysis of InAs/ AlAs QWR are reported. On the vicinal semi-insulating InP substrate of $3^o$ tilted cut from (100) surface towards (010) direction, InAs/ AlAs QWR superlattices have been successfully grown by MEE with the introduction of growth interruption at each shutter operation of MBE cell. The in-situ RHEED analyses show that MEE gives superior step-flow growth (SFG) and sharper interface formation over a conventional MBE growth. We have grown 4 samples in series varying the growth temperature. The QWR samples are analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). From the AFM images, we can get the definitely resolved 1-D structures. This structure is believed to be due to the MEE method and its separation is better than any other data from others. We are now studying the dependence of the structure on the growth temperature.

We have studied the anisotropic dispersion force effects for surfaces alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) on rubbed polystyrene (PS) surfaces by unidirection. In microphotographs of the textures, we obtained the nematic (N) LCs are shown to align in both direction parallel and Perpendicular to the rubbing for region up to medium rubbing, however to align in the direction perpendicular to the rubbing for strong rubbing legion. We suggest that the anisotropic dispersion force is very important rather than macro-surface groove effect to uniform alignment of LCs. We also measured the temperature dependence of extrapolation length of 5CB on rubbed PS surfaces for strong rubbing. It is shown that the polar anchoring strength of 5CB is very weak on rubbed PS surface compared to the rubbed polyimide (Pl) surface.

ZnO epilayer were synthesized by the pulesd laser deposition(PLD) process on $Al_2O_3$ substrate after irradiating the surface of the ZnO sintered pellet by the ArF(193nm) excimer laser. The epilayers of ZnO were achieved on sapphire ($Al_2O_3$)substrate at a temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of epilayer was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of ZnO epilayer measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $299\;{\textrm}cm^2/V.s$ at 293K. respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the ZnO obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;3.3973\;eV\;-\;(2.69{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+463K)$. After the as-grown ZnO epilayer was annealed in Zn atmospheres, oxygen and vaccum the origin of point defects of ZnO atmospheres has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{zn},\;Vo,\;Zn_{int},\;and\;O_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. In addition, we concluded that the heat-treatment in the oxygen atmosphere converted ZnO thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that vacuum in $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ did not form the native defects because vacuum in ZnO thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, AgGaS₂ 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℃ and 440℃, respectively.

After the as-grown AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of V/sub Ag/, V/sub s/, Ag/sub int/, and S/sub int/ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in AgGaS₂/GaAs crystal thin films did not form the native defects because Ga in AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.
