Self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown by the atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) techniques, The structure and the thermal stability of QDs have been studied by high resolution electron microscopy with in-situ heating experiment capability, The ALE and MBE QDs were found to form a hemispherical structure with side facets in the early stage of growth, Upon capping by GaAs layer, however, the apex of QDs changed to a flat one. The ALE QDs have larger size and more regular shape than those of MBE QDs. The QDs collapse due to elevated temperature was observed directly in atomic scale, In situ heating experiment within TEM revealed that the uncapped QDs remained stable up to $580^{\circ}C$, However, at temperature above $600^{\circ}C$, the QDs collapsed due to the diffusion and evaporation of In and As from the QDs, The density of the QDs decreased abruptly by this collapse and most of them disappeared at above $600^{\circ}C$.

To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) = 1.9501 eV - ($8.79{\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K)$T^2$/(T + 250 K). After the as-grown $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},\;V_{Se},\;Ag_{int},\;and\;Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $AgGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

Single crystal $AgGaSe_2$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $AgGaSe_2$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T)=1.9501 eV - $(8.79{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(T+250 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.3132 eV and 0.3725 eV at 10 K, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1^-},\;B_{1^-},\;and\;C_{1^-}$exciton peaks for n=1.

Hot wall epitaxy 방법을 이용하여 chalcopyrite 구조를 가진 고품질의 $AgInS_{2}$ 박막을 성장 하였다. 광전류 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과， 30K에서 300K까지는 단지 A 와 B 두개의 봉우리가 관측되었고 반면에 10K에서는 A,B,C 세 개의 봉우리가 관측되었다. 이때 이들 봉우리들은 band-to-band 전이에 기인하는 것으로 관측되었다. 광전류 측정으로부터 $AgInS_{2}$의 가전자대 갈라짐이 측정되었고 이로부터 10k에서 결정장에 의한 갈라짐 $D_{cr}$과 스핀궤도에 의한 갈라짐 $D_{so}$은 각각 0.150eV와 0.009eV로 관측되었다. 또한 에너지 밴드갭의 온도 의존성 $E_{g}(T)$에 대하여 연구하였고 성장된 $AgInS_{2}$ 박막의 에너지 밴드갭은 1.868eV 임을 알았다.

Migration Enhanced Molecular Beam Epitaxy를 통해 성장한 GaAs 기반 1300 nm 파장대역 InAs 양자점 레이저 다이오드의 발진 특성을 연구하였다. 펄스 및 상온 연속 동작에서 전류 주입 및 동작 온도 변화에 따른 L-I 특성과 발진 스펙트럼 측정을 통해 바닥준위(1302 nm)에서 여기준위(1206 nm)로의 발진 파장의 전환을 관찰하였으며 이는 양자점 바닥준위 이득의 포화로 이해된다. 상온 펄스 동작시 문턱전류 밀도는 92 A/$cm^2$, 발진 파장은 1311 nm이며, 상온 연속 동작시 문턱전류 밀도는 247 A/$cm^2$, 발진 파장은 1320 nm이다.

A silver indium sulfide ($AgInS_2$) epilayer was grown by the hot wall epitaxy method, which has not been reported in the literature. The grown $AgInS_2$ epilayer has found to be a chalcopyrite structure and evaluated to be high quality crystal. From the photocurrent measurement in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K, the two peaks of A and B were only observed, whereas the three peaks of A, B, and C were seen in the PC spectrum of 10 K. These peaks are ascribed to the band-to-band transition. The valence band splitting of $AgInS_2$ was investigated by means of the photocurrent measurement. The crystal field splitting, $\Delta_{cr}$ , and the spin orbit splitting, $\Delta_{so}$ , have been obtained to be 0.150 eV and 0.009 eV at 10 K, respectively. And, the energy band gap at room temperature has been determined to be 1.868 eV. Also, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap, $E_{g}$(T), was determined.d.

We have grown AlN nanorods and AlN films using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy by changing the Al source flux. Plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy of AlN was performed on c-plane $Al_2O_3$ substrates with different levels of aluminum (Al) flux but with the same nitrogen flux. Growth behavior of AlN was strongly affected by Al flux, as determined by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction. Prior to the growth, nitridation of the $Al_2O_3$ substrate was performed and a two-dimensionally grown AlN layer was formed by the nitridation process, in which the epitaxial relationship was determined to be [11-20]AlN//[10-10]$Al_2O_3$, and [10-10]AlN//[11-20]$Al_2O_3$. In the growth of AlN films after nitridation, vertically aligned nanorod-structured AlN was grown with a growth rate of $1.6{\mu}m/h$, in which the growth direction was <0001>, for low Al flux. However, with high Al flux, Al droplets with diameters of about $8{\mu}m$ were found, which implies an Al-rich growth environment. With moderate Al flux conditions, epitaxial AlN films were grown. Growth was maintained in two-dimensional or three-dimensional growth mode depending on the Al flux during the growth; however, final growth occurred in three-dimensional growth mode. A lowest root mean square roughness of 0.6 nm (for $2{\mu}m{\times}2{\mu}m$ area) was obtained, which indicates a very flat surface.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuInSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $620^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.62{\times}10^{l6}\;cm^{-3}$ and $296\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuInSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;1.1851\;eV\;-\;(8.99{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+153K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $CuInSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.0087 eV and 0.2329 eV at 10K, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}_{so}$ definitely exists in the $\Gamma_6$ states of the valence band of the $CuInSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10K are ascribed to the $A_1-$, $B_1-$, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.

High quality GaN layer was obtained on 0001 sapphire substrate using ammonia($NH_3$) as a nitrogen source by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. As a result, RHEED is used to investigate the relaxation processes which take place during the growth of GaN. In-situ RHEED(reflection high electron energy diffraction) appeared streaky-like pattern. The full Width at half maximum of the x-ray diffraction(FWHM) rocking curve measured from plane of GaN has exhibited as narrow as 8arcmin and surface roughness was 7.83nm. Photoluminescence measurement of GaN was investigated at room temperature, where the intensity of the band edge emission is much stronger than that of deep level emission. The GaN epitaxy layer according to various growth condition was investigated.
