Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanobelts were synthesized from mechanically ground GaN powders with a thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere. The nanobelts are with the range of about 10~200nm width and 10~50nm thickness. The nanobelt, growing along the direction perpendicular to the (010) plane and enclosed by (101) and (101) facets, shows no defect and no dislocation.

The films of indium oxide $In_{2}O_{3}$) were deposited onto $SiO_{2}$ coated Si wafers by a thermal evaporation method. Substrate temperature was varied from $25^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$. Deposition rate increased to $250^{\circ}C$ and then decreased rapidly. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ were found to have a nanobelt structure. Resistor-type gas-sensors were fabricated with $In_{2}O_{3}$ films using Pt as electrodes. The resistance variation of $In_{2}O_{3}$ films with the concentration of NO gas was measured. The $In_{2}O_{3}$ films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ showed the highest sensitivity to the NO gas.

The semiconductor PbS nanobelts (width 50-120 nm and length over 3 $\mu$m) were self-assembled in a simple reverse micelle solvent system containig the surfactant of polyoxyethylene (9) dodecy ether $(C_{12}E_9)$. The nanobelts synthesized were found to possess cube galena poly-crystal structure with high purity when analyzed by ED and X-ray diffraction. Significant “blue shift” from bulk material was observed on the PbS nanobelts using photoluminescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy. A mechanism involving the possible formation of nanobelts based on surfactant template was also proposed.

ZnO nanobelts, nanorods, and nanowires were synthesized at three different substrate temperatures from the thermal evaporation of ball-milled ZnO powders at 1380$^{\circ}C$. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the ZnO nanobelts are single crystalline with the growth direction perpendicular to the (010) lattice planes, and that the ZnO nanorods and nanowires are single crystalline with the growth directions perpendicular to the (001) and (110) lattice planes, respectively. In cathodoluminescence (CL), the peak energy of near bandedge (NBE) emission was determined for nanobelts, nanorods, and nanowires.

$TiO_2$ nanowires were self-catalytically synthesized on bare Si(100) substrates using metallorganic chemical vapor deposition. The nanowire formation was critically affected by growth temperature. The $TiO_2$ nanowires were grown at a high density on Si(100) at $510^{\circ}C$, which is near the complete decomposition temperature ($527^{\circ}C$) of the Ti precursor $(Ti(O-iPr)_2(dpm)_2)$. At $470^{\circ}C$, only very thin (< $0.1{\mu}m$) $TiO_2$ film was formed because the Ti precursor was not completely decomposed. When growth temperature was increased to $550^{\circ}C$ and $670^{\circ}C$, the nanowire formation was also significantly suppressed. A vaporsolid (V-S) growth mechanism excluding a liquid phase appeared to control the nanowire formation. The $TiO_2$ nanowire growth seemed to be activated by carbon, which was supplied by decomposition of the Ti precursor. The $TiO_2$ nanowire density was increased with increased growth pressure in the range of 1.2 to 10 torr. In addition, the nanowire formation was enhanced by using Au and Pt catalysts, which seem to act as catalysts for oxidation. The nanowires consisted of well-aligned ~20-30 nm size rutile and anatase nanocrystallines. This MOCVD synthesis technique is unique and efficient to self-catalytically grow $TiO_2$ nanowires, which hold significant promise for various photocatalysis and solar cell applications.

Copper is one of the most abundant metals on earth. Its oxide (CuO) is an intrinsically p-type metal-oxide semiconductor with a bandgap ($E_g$) of 1.2-2.0 eV 1. Copper oxide nanomaterials are considered as promising materials for a wide range of applications e.g., lithium ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalytic hydrogen production, photodetectors, and biogas sensors 2-7. Recently, high-density and uniform CuO nanostructures have been grown on Cu foils in alkaline solutions 3. In 2011, T. Soejima et al. proposed a facile process for the oxidation synthesis of CuO nanobelt arrays using $NH_3-H_2O_2$ aqueous solution 8. In 2017, G. Kaur et al. synthesized CuO nanostructures by treating Cu foils in $NH_4OH$ at room temperature for different treatment times 9. The surface treatment of Cu in alkaline aqueous solutions is a potential method for the mass fabrication of CuO nanostructures with high uniformity and density. It is interesting to compare the gas sensing properties among CuO nanomaterials synthesized by this approach and by others. Nevertheless, none of above studies investigated the gas sensing properties of as-synthesized CuO nanomaterials. In this study, CuO nanowalls versus nanoparticles were synthesized via the oxidation process of Cu foil in NH4OH solution at $50-70^{\circ}C$. The gas sensing properties of the as-prepared CuO nanoplates were examined with $C_2H_5OH$, $CH_3COCH_3$, and $NH_3$ at $200-360^{\circ}C$.

선폭의 감소와 소자 집적도의 증가로 인하여 향후 현재 사용되고 있는 탑-다운(Top-down) 생산방식에서 바텀-업(Bottomup) 방식의 소자 생산이 예상되고 있으며, 이와 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 대표적으로 나노와이어(Nanowire)와 나노벨트(Nanobelt)를 이용한 소자 개발이 한 대안이며, 이러한 소자 개발을 위해 물질의 물성 특성 연구를 위하여 나노인덴터를 이용한 물성 연구가 진행 중이다. 특히 나노인덴터는 나노 크기의 구조물에 대한 연구를 위하여 부가적으로 원자힘현미경(AFM; atomic force microscope) 기능을 제공하며, 이를 통하여 얻어진 표면 이미지를 이용하여 나노 구조물의 정확한 위치에 대한 물성 정보를 제공하게 된다. 그러나 나노인덴터에서 사용되는 팁(tip)은 기존의 원자현미경에서 사용되는 팁에 비하여 상대적 크기가 상당히 큰 특징이 있어 나노인덴터에 의한 표면 이미지에는 상당한 오차가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나노인덴터에서 대표적으로 사용되는 50nm 벌코비치 팁(Berkovich tip)과 1um $90^{\circ}$ 원뿔형 팁(Conical tip)을 이용하였으며, 각 팁에 대한 표면 특성을 확인하기 위하여 박막 표면을 각 팁으로 압입하여 압입 후 표면 영상과 압입 깊이를 통하여 팁의 특성을 확인하였다. 이후 나노인덴터를 이용하여 100nm급 나노 구조물에서 표면 주사를 실시하여 획득된 이미지와 기존 원자현미경을 이용한 표면 이미지를 비교하여 오차를 획득하였다. 또한 각 팁의 외형으로 이론적으로 계산된 오차와 비교하였다.
