This is the study of magnetic properties of transition metal doped diluted magnetic semiconductors(DMSs). The wurtzite structure samples were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The thermodynamic characteristics and magnetic properties of $Zn_{1-x}Co_xO$ single phase was investigated for different doping concentration (x = 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, 15%). The property of diluted magnetic semiconductors has been comfirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic properties of pure $Zn_{1-x}Co_xO$ is found to be dominated by the ferromagnetic interaction between doped transition metal ions, where by the ferromagnetic coupling strength is simply increased with the concentration(>5%) of the doped transition metal.

We investigate Frohlich-like electron--optical-phonon interactionsin uniaxial crytals based on the macroscopic dielectric continuum model. In general, the optical-phonon branches support mixed longitudinal and transverse modes due to the anisotropy. For heterostructures with double interfaces and superlattices, it is known that confined, interface, and half-space optical phonon modes exist in zincblende cystals. In uniaxial structures, additional propagating modes may exist in wurtzite heterosystems due to anisotropic phonon dispersion. This is especially the case when the dielectric properties of the adjacent heterostructure materials do not differ substantially. The dispersion relations and the interaction Hamiltonians for each of these modes are derived.

The structural and optoelectronic properties of polycrystalline CdS films up to several microns in thickness, fabricated by three different methods, are compared to one another for the purpose of preparing CdTe/CdS solar cells. All films were deposited on an indium tin oxide on glass substrate. The three methods are: 1) alternated spraying of cation and anion solution at room temperature; 2) spray pyrolysis with substrate temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$; 3) chemical bath deposition (CBD). Deposited films were thermally treated in various ways. All films showed a well-developed wurtzite structure. Films grown by the alternated-spray method and the chemical bath method consist of randomly-oriented crystallites with dimensions <0.5 microns. Annealing at $400^{\circ}C$ increases the crystallite size slightly. Films which were grown by pyrolysis at substrate temperatures from $400^{\circ}C\;to\;500^{\cir\c}C$ were oriented in the <002> direction. For growth by pyrolysis at $500^{\circ}C$, the surface is rough on a lateral scale of 0.1 to 0.3 microns. The optical band gap and defect states are investigated by optical absorption, photoluminescene, Raman, and photothermal deflection spectroscopies.

In order to find the optical properties of CdSe thin film and CdSe nanostructure, the following experiments were performed: the CdSe wurtzite nanostructure was made by using 99.99% CdSe (Aldrich) powder with the $SiO_x$ substrates and the $AlO_x$ membranes in $7{\times}10^{-6}$ torr vacuum. (The average vacuum coating speed being 1 ${\AA}$/sec). The calculations obtained were about 200 nm diameter of nanotubes on the $AlO_x$ membranes and a crystallite size of about 2 nm on the $SiO_x$ substrates. These results were verified through the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, thin film X-ray diffraction analysis and emission spectroscopy.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) have the crystal structure of wurtzite which is semiconducting oxide with band gap energy of 3.3eV. $In_2O_3$-doped ZnO films were fabricated by electron beam evaporation at $400^{\circ}C$ and their characteristics were investigated. The content of $In_2O_3$ in ZnO films had a marked effect on the electrical properties of the films. As $In_2O_3$ content decreased. $In_2O_3$-doped ZnO films was converted amorphous into crystallized films and showed a better characteristics generally as a transparent conducting oxide. As $In_2O_3$-doped ZnO films were prepared by $In_2O_3$-doped ZnO pellet with 0.2at% of $In_2O_3$ content, the value of resistivity was about $6.0 {\times} 10^{-3} {\Omega}cm$. The transmittance was higher than 85% throughout the visible range.

1차원 반도체인 nanowires (NWs)는 전기적, 광학적으로 일반 bulk구조와 다른 특성을 가지고 있어서 현재 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 일반적으로 NWs는 Au 등의 금속 촉매를 이용하여 성장을 하게 되는데 이때 촉매가 오염물로 작용을 해서 결함을 만들어서 bandgap내에 defect level을 형성하게 된다. 본 연구는 Si(111) 기판 위에 Ga-droplet을 촉매로 사용을 하여 molecular beam epitaxy로 성장을 하였다. 성장온도는 600$^{\circ}C$로 고정을 하였고 growth rate은 GaAs(100) substrate에서 2.5 A/s로 Ga의 양을 고정하고 V/III ratio를 1부터 8까지 변화를 시켰다. As의 양에 따라서 생성되는 NWs의 개수가 증가하고 growth rate이 빨라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Transmission Electron Microscopy 분석 결과 낮은 V/III ratio에서는 zincblende, wurtzite 그리고 stacking faults 가 혼재 되어 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결함은 소자를 만드는데 한계가 있기 때문에 pure zincblende나 pure wurtzite를 가져야 하는데 V/III ratio : 8 에서 pure zincblende구조가 되었다. Gibbs-Thomson effect에 따르면 구조적 변화는 Ga droplet과 NWs의 접면에서 크기가 중요한 역할을 한다[1]. 연구 결과 V/III ratio : 8일 때 Ga droplet의 크기가 zincblende성장에 알맞다는 것을 예상할 수 있었다. laser confocal photoluminescence 결과 상온에서 1.43 eV의 bandgap을 가지는 bulk구조와는 다른 와 1.49eV의 bandgap을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

The hetero-epitaxial growth of AmB v type onto-electronic material is attempted by means of the laser-induced chemical vapour deposition technique. The bimolecular gas phase reaction of trimethylgallium with ammonia on (001) alumina substrate for the epitaxy of gallium nitride is chosen as a model system. In this study, ArF exciter laser (193nm) is employed as a photon source. Marked difference is found in nucleation and in subsequent crystal incorporation between the doposits formed with and without the laser-irradiation. The surface coverage with isomorphically grown drystallites is pronounced upon "volume-excited" irradiation in comparison with the conventional thermal process. As to the crystal structure of the grown layers, the laser-induced deposits of GaN may be represented by either of the following two models: (001) plane of sapphire //y (001) plane of wurtzite-type GaN, OR (001) plane of sapphire//(001) plane of wurtzite-type-GaN (111) plane of twinned zinc blende-type GaN.

This paper tried to find the best conditions that could be applied to solar cells by deposition of CdS thin film on ITO glass using multiplex displacement sputter system. RF power was changed to 50W, 100W, and 150W and sputtering time was set to 10 minutes. As a result of the measurement of transmittance, the average transmittance in the area of 400 to 800 nm was measured from 60% to 80% and the best characteristic was measured at 150W at 84%. The band gap was also measured at 3.762eV at 50W, 4.037eV at 100W and 4.052eV at 150W. In XRD analysis, even as RF power was increased, it was observed as a structure called Wurtzite (hexagonal) of CdS. And as RF power increased, the particles were large and uniformly deposited, but at 100W the particles were densely composed and dense. And the thickness measurement showed that the RF power increased uniformly.

We have studied the structural and optical properties of the non-doped and Co 0.08 at.%, Co 0.02 at.%, and Co 0.11 at.% doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) synthesized using the simple low-temperature chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at 95℃ for 2 hours. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images confirmed the morphology of the ZnO NRs are affected by Co incorporation. As observed, the Co 0.08 at.% doped ZnO NRs have a larger dimension with an average diameter of 153.4 nm. According to the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) number #00-036-1451, the x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of non-doped and Co-doped ZnO NRs with the preferred orientation of ZnO NRs in the (002) plane possess polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with the space group P63mc. Optical absorbance indicates the Co 0.08 at.% doped ZnO NRs have stronger and blueshift bandgap energy (3.104 ev). The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO NRs exhibited excitonicrelates ultraviolet (UV) and defect-related green band (GB) emissions. By calculating the UV/GB intensity, the Co 0.08 at.% is the proper atomic percentage to have fewer intrinsic defects. We predict that Co-doped ZnO NRs induce a blueshift of near band edge (NBE) emission due to the Burstein-Moss effect. Meanwhile, the redshift of NBE emission is attributed to the modification of the lattice dimensions and exchange energy.
