To overcome the theoretical efficiency of single-junction solar cells (> 30 %), tandem solar cells (or multi-junction solar cells) is considered as a strong nominee because of their excellent light utilization. Organic-inorganic halide perovskite has been regarded as a promising candidate material for next-generation tandem solar cell due to not only their excellent optoelectronic properties but also their bandgap-tune-ability and low-temperature process-possibility. As a result, they have been adopted either as a wide-bandgap top cell combined with narrow-bandgap silicon or CuIn_xGa_(1-x)Se₂ bottom cells or for all-perovskite tandem solar cells using narrow- and wide-bandgap perovskites. To successfully transition perovskite materials from for single junction to tandem, substantial efforts need to focus on fabricating the high quality wide- and narrow-bandgap perovskite materials and semi-transparent electrode/recombination layer. In this paper, we present an overview of the current research and our outlook regarding perovskite-based tandem solar technology. Several key challenges discussed are: 1) a wide-bandgap perovskite for top-cell in multi-junction tandem solar cells; 2) a narrow-bandgap perovskite for bottom-cell in all-perovskite tandem solar cells, and 3) suitable semi-transparent conducting layer for efficient electrode or recombination layer in tandem solar cells.

Dysprosium-doped bismuth titanate (BDT) thin films were successfully deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by liquid delivery MOCVD process and their structural and ferroelectric properties were characterized. Fabricated BDT thin films were found to be random orientations, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction experiment and scanning electron microscope analysis. The crystallinity of the BDT films was improved and the average grain size increased as the crystallization temperature increased from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ at an interval of $40^{\circ}C$. The BDT thin film annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ showed a large remanent polarization (2Pr) of $52.27\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. The BDT thin film exhibits a good fatigue resistance up to $1.0{\times}10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz with applied pulse of ${\pm}5\;V$. These results indicate that the randomly oriented BDT thin film is a promising candidate among ferroelectric materials useti비 in lead-free nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory applications.

Zintl compound Mg₃Sb₂ is a promising candidate for efficient thermoelectric material due to its small band gap energy and characteristic electron-crystal phonon-glass behavior. Furthermore, this compound enables fine tuning of carrier concentration via chemical doping for optimizing thermoelectric performance. In this study, nominal compositions of Mg_3.8Sb_2-xTe_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) are synthesized through controlled melting and subsequent vacuum hot pressing method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are carried out to investigate phase development and surface morphology during the process. It should be noted that 16 at. % of excessive Mg must be added to the system to compensate for the loss of Mg during melting process. Herein, thermoelectric properties such as Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity are evaluated from low to high temperature regimes. The results show that Te substitution at Sb sites effectively tunes the majority carriers from holes to electrons, resulting in a transition from p to n-type. At 873 K, a peak ZT value of 0.27 is found for the specimen Mg_3.8Sb_1.99Te_0.01, indicating an improved ZT value over the intrinsic value.

The number of people suffering from diabetes have been increased around the world. In this study, we investigated the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of Anthriscus sylvestris(L.) Hoffm and its main compounds. It was divided into root(R) and aerial part(AP) for comparative analysis. Total polyphenol, total flavonoid content was higher in AP extract, but nodakenin content was higher in R(1169.13 ± 6.00 mg/g) extract. Antioxidant activity was also higher in AP extract. To compare antidiabetic efficacy, we analyzed the effects of R and AP extracts on ɑ-glucosidase inhibition(AGI), dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP-4) and protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP)1B activity. R and AP extracts showed similar effects on AGI and DPP-4 activity in a concentration dependent manner, and there was no effect on PTP1B activation. Glucose uptake(139.51 ± 3.19%) in 3T3-L1 cells was more effective in the AP extract-treated group than the positive control, rosiglitazone, group. Both R and AP extracts were effective in protecting against pancreatic beta cell damage caused by hyperglycemia. These results suggest that Anthriscus sylvestris(L.) Hoffm. could be used as a candidate for diabetes treatment.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were directly synthesized on a copper (Cu) plate as a current collector by the catalytic thermal vapor deposition method for an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode. The diameters of vertically aligned CNTs grown on the Cu plate were 20~30 nm. From cyclic voltammetry (CV) results, the CNTs/Cu electrode showed high specific capacitance with typical profiles of EDLCs. Rectangularshaped CV curves suggested that the CNTs/Cu electrode could be an excellent candidate for an EDLC electrode. The specific capacitances were in a range of 25~75 F/g with a scan rate of 10~100 mV/s and KOH electrolyte concentration 1~6 M, and were maintained up to 1000 charge/discharge cycles due to strong adhesion between the Cu substrate and the CNTs.

Metallic magnetoelectronic devices have studied intensively and extensively for last decade because of the scientific interest as well as great technological importance. Recently, the scientific activity in spintronics field is extending to the hybrid devices using ferromagnetic/semiconductor heterostructures and to new ferromagnetic semiconductor materials for future devices. In case of the hybrid device, conductivity mismatch problem for metal/semiconductor interface will be able to circumvent when the device operates in ballistic regime. In this respect, spin-valve transistor, first reported by Monsma, is based on spin dependent transport of hot electrons rather than electron near the Fermi energy. Although the spin-valve transistor showed large magnetocurrent ratio more than 300%, but low transfer ratio of the order of 10$\^$-5/ prevents the potential applications. In order to enhance the collector current, we have prepared magnetic tunneling transistor (MTT) with single ferromagnetic base on Si(100) collector by magnetron sputtering process. We have changed the resistance of tunneling emitter and the thickness of baser layer in the MTT structure to increase collector current. The high transfer ratio of 10$\^$-4/ range at bias voltage of more than 1.8 V, collector current of near l ${\mu}$A, and magnetocurrent ratio or 55% in Si-based MTT are obtained at 77K. These results suggest a promising candidate for future spintronic applications.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique can speak the best candidate of the future molecular electronic devices. But, precursor as molecular ultrathin film devices require the bulk property that are influenced by the molecular orientation. So, this device is one of current interest in molecular electronic device development of new materials. In this study, quantitative evaluation of molecular orientation in LB films of polyamic acid alkylamine salt was performed analysis experiment comparing the absorption or transmission intensity of the FT-IR spectrometer and reflection or absorption spectra with UV-visible absorption spectra. It could find that the polar angle(${\theta}$) of the dipole moment appears in about $68^{\circ}$ and the tilting angle of the alkyl chain is about $11.5^{\circ}$.

The total electrical conductivity, ionic conductivity, and nonstoichimetry of a new cathode material $Y_{1-x}Ca_xFeO_{3-\delta}$ (x=0.1) were measured as functions of temperature ($900\leqT/^{\circ}C\leq1100$) and oxygen partial pressure $(10^{-6}\leqPo_2/atm\leq0.21$). Isothermal variations of these properties with $Po_2$ support that the majority type of ionic defects are anti-Frenkel disorder which, however, has seldom been considered for perovskite-based oxides. The results are discussed in comparison with those reported on similar oxides.
