We have prepared 1-D BiSI and 2-D BiOI nanostructures, and characterized them by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, and UV-visible absorption. Here, we first report clear HR-TEM image of BiSI. In addition, we first found that the growth direction of BiSI is [12-1] plane, with the neighboring distance of 0.30 nm. The crystal structures of BiSI and BiOI are found to be orthorhombic (Pnam) and tetragonal (P4/nmm), respectively. The absorption band gaps of BiSI and BiOI are measured to be 1.55 and 1.92 eV, respectively. Our study could further highlight the applications of V-VI-VII compounds.

Photoresponsive side chain copolymer and homopolymer containing an aminonitroazobenzene were synthesized for studying photoisomerization behavior and photo-induced anisotropy. Trans-to-cis photoisomerization was observed under the exposure of a circularly polarized visible light with UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Reorientation of polar azobenzene molecules induced optical anisotropy under a linearly polarized light at 532nm. Polarized absorption spectroscopy was employed to investigate the anisotropy of the polymer film during irradiationg of the excitation light. Layers of two photosensitive polymers were used for aligning liquid crystal(LC) molecules instead of one of the rubbed polyimide layers in the conventional twisted nematic cell. For producing homogeneous alignment of a nematic LC molecule, a linearly polarized light was exposed to the films of two polymers. The stability of the LC alignment upon the linearly polarized light exposure was also studied.

The photoisomerization behavior of benzylideneacetophenones, known as chalcones, was studied. We synthesized the chalcone derivatives that have ether groups at 4 and 4＇ positions. Due to the electron donating ability of the ether oxygen, the bond order of the single bond between two phenyl ring of the chalcone strengthened, which eventually increased the rotational barrier of the single bond. The rotational barrier of the single bond is about 20-22 kcal/mole. Thermal recovery of this process took about 1 min. The UV-visible spectra of these chromophores exhibit two characteristic absorption peaks at 276 nm and 340 nm. The relative intensity of the peaks varies depending on the alkyl chain length of the substituent. Photo-irradiation with the 365 nm light monotonously decreases the 340 nm peak. However, the photo-irradiation with 254 nm light induce two competing processes and produced rather complicated absorption profile.

A polymeric photobase generator containing oxime-urethane groups is applied to a fluorescence micropatterning material. Polymer bearing oxime-urethane groups was prepared by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with methacryloyloxyethyl benzophenoneoxime urethane (MBU). The reaction of amino groups in the irradiated copolymer film with dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was monitored by using UV absorption, IR absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectrum of the Dns-Cl-treated irradiated copolymer film shows a strong fluorescence with a fluorescence maximum wavelength at 510 nm. A blue fluorescent micropattern with a line width of $2{\sim}3{\mu}m$ was obtained. Treatment of the irradiated copolymer film with Dns-Cl and rhodamine B mixture led to the formation of green, red, and orange-colored fluorescence micropatterns. Thus, various colored micropatterns on a single polymer film can be obtained by selective excitation of each dye molecules.

Maxwell displacement current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of fatty acid. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about $130{\AA}^2$. MDCs were investigated in connection with monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the current pulses were generated over the entire range of molecular area, and the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles. We investigated the change in absorption spectra of the fatty acid(8A5H) monolayer LB film due to cis-trans photoisomerization. It was found that the absorption spectrum of the 8A5H LB film was induce to photoisomerization by alternate irradiation with UV and visible light irradiation.

The present paper is devoted to the physical and electrical characteristics of N-docosyl- quinolinium-TCNQ films compared with the films doped with I$_2$. Iodine affects the degree of charge transfer and the conductivity of the films. The UV-visible absorption spectra of the film doped with I$_2$ shows that the peak of I$_3$ which had electronic transition at 300∼350nm and (TCNQ-)$_2$ dimer absorption disappered. The in-plane electrical conductivity of the films doped with I$_2$ were 1.4${\times}$10$\sub$-6/S/cm, which is two orders of magnitude higher conductivity than undoped LB films. The film structural difference between Y and Z-type may cause the conductivity. Another possible reasons of the structural difference was the overlapping TCNQ anion radical in LB films.

GaN films were prepared on Al$_2$O$_3$(1120) substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) with HCl-NH$_3$-N$_2$ gas system. The growth rate was increased with increasing the substrate temperature below 1050$^{\circ}C$ and decreased over the temperature, increased with growth time. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed only (0002) GaN peak. The UV-Visible Spectrophotometer showed a good optical absorption and fundamental absorption occurred at 3700${\AA}$.

CdS films were deposited on glass substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering method and the films were annealed at various substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to $300^{\circ}C$. Structural properties of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural parameters as crystallite size have been evaluated. The crystallite sizes were found to increase, and the X-ray diffraction patterns were seen to sharpen by increasing substrate temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns of these films indicated that they contain both cubic (zincblende) and hexagonal (wurtzite) structures as a mixture. Optical properties of the films were measured at room temperature by using UV/VIS spectrometer in the wavelength range of 190 to 1100nm and optical absorption coefficients were calculated using these data. The energy gap of the films was found to decrease, and the band edge sharpness of the optical absorption was seen to oscillate by annealing. The results show that heat treatments under optimal annealing condition can provide significant improvements in the properties of CdS thin films.

The influence of solvent polarity on the absorption spectra of some synthesized azo dye with heterocyclic moieties and ${\beta}$-naphthol (1-3) have been investigated using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The spectral characteristics of the azo dyes (1-3) in different solvents at room temperature were analyzed. The solvatochromic empirical variables like ${\pi}^*$, ${\alpha}$, and ${\beta}$ have been used to discuss the solvatochromic behaviour of the dyes and to evaluate their contributions to the solute-solvent interactions. A multi-parameter regression model for quantitative assessment of the solute/solvent interaction and the absorption has been used to explain the solvent effect on azo dyes (1-3).
