Nickel Oxide (NiO) is a transition metal oxide of the rock salt structure that has a wide band gap of 3.5 eV. It has a variety of specialized applications due to its excellent chemical stability, optical, electrical and magnetic properties. In this study, we concentrated on the application of NiO thin film for transparent conducting oxide. The energy band structure, electronic and optical properties of Nickel Oxide (NiO) thin films grown on Si by using electron beam evaporation were investigated by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS), and UV-Spectrometer. The band gap of NiO thin films determined by REELS spectra was 3.53 eV for the primary energies of 1.5 keV. The valence-band offset (VBO) of NiO thin films investigated by XPS was 3.88 eV and the conduction-band offset (CBO) was 1.59 eV. The UV-spectra analysis showed that the optical transmittance of the NiO thin film was 84% in the visible light region within an error of ${\pm}1%$ and the optical band gap for indirect band gap was 3.53 eV which is well agreement with estimated by REELS. The dielectric function was determined using the REELS spectra in conjunction with the Quantitative Analysis of Electron Energy Loss Spectra (QUEELS)-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS software. The Energy Loss Function (ELF) appeared at 4.8, 8.2, 22.5, 38.6, and 67.0 eV. The results are in good agreement with the previous study [1]. The transmission coefficient of NiO thin films calculated by QUEELS-REELS was 85% in the visible region, we confirmed that the optical transmittance values obtained with UV-Spectrometer is the same as that of estimated from QUEELS-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS within uncertainty. The inelastic mean free path (IMFP) estimated from QUEELS-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS is consistent with the IMFP values determined by the Tanuma-Powell Penn (TPP2M) formula [2]. Our results showed that the IMFP of NiO thin films was increased with increasing primary energies. The quantitative analysis of REELS provides us with a straightforward way to determine the electronic and optical properties of transparent thin film materials.

The metal intercalation to an organic semiconductor is of importance since the charge transfer between a metal and an organic semiconductor can induce the highly enhanced conductivity for achieving efficient organic electronic devices. In this regard, the changes of the electronic structure of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) caused by the intercalation of potassium are studied by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Potassium intercalation leads to the appearance of an intercalation-induced peak between the highest molecular occupied orbital (HOMO) and the lowest molecular unoccupied orbital (LUMO) in the valence-band spectra obtained using UPS. The DFT calculations show that the new gap state is attributed to filling the LUMO+1, unlike a common belief of filling the LUMO. However, the LUMO+1 is not conductive because the ${\pi}$-conjugated macrocyclic isoindole rings on the molecule do not make a contribution to the LUMO+1. This is the origin of a metal-insulator transition through heavily potassium doped CuPc.

InP quantum dots were grown by using the molecular beam epitaxy technique. Quantum dots are connected and composed string-like one-dimensional structure due to the strain field along [110] crystal direction. Two prominent photoluminescence transitions from normal quantum dots and string-like one-dimensional structure were observed which show strong optical anisotropy along [1-10] and [110] crystal directions. Both peaks also showed blue-shift while rotating emission polarization from [1-10] to [110] direction. Such optical transition behaviors are the consequence of the valence band mixing caused by strain field along the [110] crystal direction.

We have calculated the electronic structure of impurity atoms in metal host by using the tight binding model in the recursion method. For a self-consistent calculation, we assumed that the effect of impurity introduction was localized only at the impurity site and its neighbours. We calculated the Madelung term by limiting the contribution to Vm of the charge perturbations to the first shell around the impurity with Evjen technique. The calculated local density of states and charge transfer values have been compared with the experimental values for a single impurity in metal host. We fund that d-reso-nance state came from the repulsive interaction between impurity d-state and host band, and the position of d-resonance state depended on the difference of valence electrons between the host and the impurity. the results also showed that the charge transfer value between an impurity and host metal was comparable to the ionicity difference between them.

The interaction of oxygen with polycrystalline nickel surface has been studied by investigating the X-ray photoelectron spectra of O 1s, Ni $2p_{3/2}$, and their valence band electrons. By comparing the oxygen exposure of this work with the reported results of LEED, AES, and work function measurements, it is found that the atomic oxygen, adsorbed dissociatively in the initial stage of exposure, is responsible for a p(2 ${\times}$ 2) structure and a subsequent c(2 ${\times}$ 2) structure on the Ni(100) surface. This dissociatively adsorbed oxygen species forms surface NiO layer subsequently on further oxygen exposure. The NiO layer is more easily formed with the increasing temperature. Non-stoichiometric oxygen species is also found to accompany the NiO layer. It appears prior to the formation of bulk NiO at all of the temperatures of this work except at 523K.

In the thin film alloy formation of the transition metals ion-beam-mixing technique forms a metastable structure which cannot be found in the arc-melted metal alloys. Sppecifically it is well known that the studies about the electronic structure of ion-beam-mixed alloys pprovide the useful information in understanding the metastable structures in the metal alloy. We studied the electronic change in the ion-beam-mixed ppt-Ct alloys by XppS and XANES. These analysis tools pprovide us information about the charge transfer in the valence band of intermetallic bonding. The multi-layered films were depposited on the SiO2 substrate by the sequential electron beam evapporation at a ppressure of less than 5$\times$10-7 Torr. These compprise of 4 ppairs of ppt and Cu layers where thicknesses of each layer were varied in order to change the alloy compposition. Ion-beam-mixing pprocess was carried out with 80 keV Ae+ ions with a dose of $1.5\times$ 1016 Ar+/cm2 at room tempperature. The core and valence level energy shift in these system were investigated by x-ray pphotoelectron sppectroscoppy(XppS) pphotoelectrons were excited by monochromatized Al K ａ(1486.6 eV) The ppass energy of the hemisppherical analyzer was 23.5 eV. Core-level binding energies were calibrated with the Fermi level edge. ppt L3-edge and Cu K-edge XANES sppectra were measured with the flourescence mode detector at the 3C1 beam line of the ppLS (ppohang light source). By using the change of White line(WL) area of the each metal sites and the core level shift we can obtain the information about the electrons pparticippating in the intermetallic bonding of the ion-beam-mixed alloys.

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of chalcopyrite (CH) AlGaAs2 with dopant Mn at 3.125 and 6.25 % concentrations are investigated using first-principles calculations. The CH AlGaAs2 alloy is a p-type semiconductor with a small band-gap. The AlGaAs2:Mn shows that the ferromagnetic (FM) state is the most energetically favorable one. The Mn-doped AlGaAs2 exhibits FM and strong half-metallic ground states.The spin polarized Al(Ga,Mn)As2 state (Al-rich system) is more stable than the (Al,Mn)GaAs2 state (Ga-rich system), which has a magnetic moment of 3.82mB/Mn. The interaction between Mn-3d and As-4p states at the Fermi level dominates the other states.The states at the Fermi level are mainlyAs-4p electrons, which mediate strong interaction between the Mn-3d and As-4p states. It is noticeable that the FM ordering of dopant Mn with high magnetic moment originates from the As(4p)-Mn(3d)-As(4p) hybridization, which is attributed to the partially unfilled As-4pbands. The high FM moment of Mn is due to the double-exchange mechanism mediated by valence-band holes.

The electronic state and chemical bonding of $\beta$-MnO$_2$ with transition metal dopants were theoretically investigated by DV-X$_{\alpha}$ (the discrete variational X$_{\alpha}$) method, which is a sort of the first principles molecular orbital method using the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation. The calculations were performed with a $_Mn_{14}$ MO$_{56}$ )$^{-52}$ (M = transition metals) cluster model. The electron energy level, the density of states (DOS), the overlap population, the charge density distribution, and the net charges, were calculated. The energy level diagram of MnO$_2$ shows the different band structure and electron occupancy between the up spin states and down spin states. The dopant levels decrease between the conduction band and the valence band with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. The covalency of chemical bonding was shown to increase and ionicity decreased in increasing the atomic number of dopants. Calculated results were discussed on the basis of the interaction between transition metal 3d and oxygen 2p orbital. In conclusion it is expected that when the transition metals are added to MnO$_2$ the band gap decreases and the electronic conductivity increases with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. the atomic number of dopants.

[ $CdGa_2Se_4$ ] 단결정 박막을 수평 전기로에서 합성한 $CdGa_2Se_4$ 다결정을 증발원으로하여, hot wall epitaxy(HWE) 방법으로 증발원과 기판(반절연성-GaAs(100))의 온도를 각각 $630^{\circ}C,\;420^{\circ}C$로 고정하여 성장하였다. 이때 단결정 박막의 결정성은 광발광 스펙트럼과 이중결정 X-선 요동곡선(DCRC)으로 부터 구하였다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 293K에서 운반자 농도와 이동도는 각각 $8.27{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3},\;345cm^2/V{\cdot}s$였다. $CdGa_2Se_4/SI$(Semi-Insulated) GaAs(100) 단결정 박막의 광흡수와 광전류 spectra를 293K에서 10K까지 측정하였다. 광흡수 스펙트럼으로부터 band gap $E_g(T)$는 Varshni 공식에 따라 계산한 결과 $E_g(T)=2.6400eV-(7.721{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+399K)$였다. 광전류 스펙트럼으로부터 Hamilton matrix(Hopfield quasicubic mode)법으로 계산한 결과 crystal field splitting 에너지 ${\Delta}cr$값이 106.5meV이며 spinorbit 에너지 ${\Delta}so$값은 418.9meV임을 확인하였다. 10K일 때 광전류 세 봉우리들은 $A_{1^-},\;B_{1^-}$와 $C_{11}-exciton$ 봉우리임을 알았다.
