A new 1D oxalato bridged compound Ni(en)(ox)-2$H_2$O, (ox = oxalate; en = ethylenediamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, TG analysis, and magnetic measurements. In the structure the Ni atoms are coordinated with four oxygen atoms in two oxalate ions and two nitrogen atoms in one ethylenediamine molecule. The oxalate anion acts as a bis-bidentate ligand bridging Ni atoms in cis-configuration. This completes the infinite zigzag neutral chain, [Ni(en)(ox)]. The interchain space is filled by water molecules that link the chains through a network of hydrogen bonds. Thermal variance of the magnetic susceptibility shows a broad maximum around 50 K characteristic of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic coupling. The theoretical fit of the data for T > 20 K led to the nearest neighbor spin interaction J = -43 K and g = 2.25. The rapid decrease in susceptibility below 20 K indicate this compound to be a likely Haldane gap candidate material with S = 1.

A new precursor [$Zr(acac)_{3}(H_{2}O)_{2}$] was synthesized by Sonochemical technique and used to deposit thin $ZrO_{2}$ film on quartz and ceramic substrate via ultrasonic aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (UAACVD) at 300 ${^{\circ}C}$ in oxygen environment followed by annealing of the sample for 2-3 minutes at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$ in nitrogen ambient. The molecular structure of the precursor determined by single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the molecules are linked through intermolecular hydrogen bonds forming pseudo six and eight membered rings. DSC and TGA/FTIR techniques were used to determine thermal behavior and decomposition temperature of the precursor and nature of evolved gas products. The optical measurement of annealed $ZrO_{2}$ film with tetragonal phase shows optical energy band gap of 5.01 eV. The particle size, morphology, surface structure and composition of deposited films were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDX.

Anchoring quantum dots (QDs) onto thermodynamically stable, large band gap oxide semiconductors is a very important strategy to enhance their quantum yields for solar energy conversion in both visible and near-IR regions. We describe a general procedure for anchoring a few chalcogenide QDs onto the titanium oxide layer. To anchor the colloidal QDs onto a mesoporous TiO2 layer, linker molecules containing both carboxylate and thiol functional groups were initially attached to TiO2 layers and subsequently used to capture dispersed QDs with the thiol group. Employing the procedure, we exploited cadmium selenide (CdSe) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) as inorganic sensitizers for a large band gap TiO2 layer of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Their attachment was confirmed by naked eyes, absorption spectra, and photovoltaic effects. A few QD-TiO2 systems thus obtained have been characterized for photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion.

FeSi$_2$/Si Layer were grown using FeSi$_2$, Si wafer by the chemical transport reaction method. The directoptical energy gap was found to be 0.871ev at 300 K. The Hall effect is a physical effect arising in matter carrying electric current in the presence of a magnetic field. The effect is named after the American physicist E. H. Hall, who discovered it in 1879. In this paper, we study electrical properties of FeSi$_2$/Si layer And then we measured Hall coefficient Hall mobility, carrier density and Hall voltage according to variation magnetic field and temperature, Because of important Part for it application Various phase of silicide is formed at the metal-Si interface when transition metal contacts to Si. Silicides belong to metallic or semiconducting according to their electrical and optical properties. Metallic silicides are used as gate electrodes or interconnections in VLSI devices. Semiconducting silicides can be used as a new material for IR detectors because of their narrow energy band gap.

The GaP crystals are growth by Synthesis Solute Diffusion(SSD) method and its properties are investigated. Etch pits density along vertical direction of ingot is increased from 3.8${\times}$10$^4$cm$\^$-2/ of first freeze to 2.3${\times}$10$\^$5/cm$\^$-2/ of last freeze part. The carrier concentration and mobilities are measured to 197.49$\textrm{cm}^2$/V. sec and 6.75${\times}$10$\^$15/cm$\^$-3/ at room temperature. The temperature dependence of optical energy gap is empilically fitted to E$\_$g/(T)=2.3383-(6.082${\times}$10$\^$-4/T${\times}$/(373.096+T)[eV]. Photo-luminescence spectra measured at low temperature are consist with sharp line-spectra near band-gap energy and radiative recombination between shallow Si-donor to Zn-acceptor and its phonon reprica, and broad emission. The infrared absorption in GaP is cause to phonon coupling modes of TO, LO, LA, TA$_1$, TA$_2$and vibration modes of Ga$_2$O, Si-donor and Zn-acceptor, respectively.

[ $Hg_{1-x}Cd_xTe$ ] (MCT) was grown by hot wall epitaxy method. Prior to the MCT growth, the CdTe (111) buffer layer was grown on the GaAs substrate at the temperature of 590 C for 15 min. When the thickness of the CdTe buffer layer was 5 m or thicker, the full width at half maximum values obtained from the x-ray rocking curves were found to significantly decrease. After a good quality CdTe buffer layer was grown, the MCT epilayers were grown on the CdTe (111) /GaAs substrate at various temperature in situ. The crystal quality for those epilayers was investigated by means of the x-ray rocking curves and the photocurrent experiment. The photoconductor characterization for the epilayers was also measured. The energy band gap of MCT was determined from the photocurrent measurement and the x composition rates from the temperature dependence of the energy band gap were turned out.

A stoichiometric mixture for $Cdln_2Te_4$ single crystal was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. The $Cdln_2Te_4$ single crystal was grown in the three-stage vertical electric furnace by using Bridgman method. The quality of the grown crystal has been investigated by the x-ray diffraction and the photoluminescence measurements. The (001) growth plane of oriented $Cdln_2Te_4$ single crystal was confirmed from back-reflection Laue patterns. The carrier density and mobility of $Cdln_2Te_4$ single crystal measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.61{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $242\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $Cdln_2Te_4$ single crystal obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;1.4750\;eV\;-\;(7.69{\times}\;10^{-3}\;eV)T^2/(T+2147)$.

This study presents a novel way to enhance uniformity of the gas flow inside the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), which is critically important to fuel cell performance, by using dimples. A pattern of dimple, which works as a flow distributor/collector, is designed at the inlet and outlet section of a straight channel gas separator. Size of the dimples and the gap between them were changed to optimize the flow uniformity, and any change in size or gap is considered as one design. The results show that some dimple patterns significantly enhance the uniformity compared to baseline, about 4%, while the others slightly reduce it, about 1%. Besides, the dimple pattern also affects to the pressure drop in the flow channel, however the pressure drop in all cases are negligible (less than 26.4 Pa).

It is recognized that tetrafluoromethane ($CF_4$) has a great influence on global warming. The $CF_4$ is known to have a large impact on climate change due to its large global warming index. In this study, a waterjet plasma scrubber (WPS) was designed and manufactured for the $CF_4$ decomposition. The WPS is a novel technology which is combined a gliding arc plasma and water injection at the center of the plasma discharge. This can give an innovative way for $CF_4$ decomposition by achieving larger plasma columnand generating OH radicals. A performance analysis was achieved for the design factors such as waterjet flow rate, total gas flow rate, consumption electric power, and electrode gap. The highest $CF_4$ decomposition and energy efficiencies were 64.8% and 6.43 g/kWh, respectively; Optimal operating conditions were 20 mL/min of waterjet flow rate, 200 L/min total gas flow rate, 5.3 kW consumption electric power, and 4.4 mm electrode gap. As for the 2 stage reactor of the WPS, the $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency improved as the 85.3% while the energy efficiency decreased as the 5.57 g/kWh.
