6H-SiC UV photodiodes with $p^+$/n/n mesa structure were fabricated. The photocurrents of the photodiodes were measured in the wavelength range of 200~600 nm. The photocurrents were sensitive to ultraviolet radiation of 200~500 nm, and come to the maximum value at 260 nm. The quantum efficiency was calculated by using the diffusion model of minority carriers, and compared with the distribution of the photocurrent measured as a function of wavelength each other. The photocurrents of the 6H-SiC photodiode were explained by the diffusion model of the minority carriers which contained the optical absorption of the depletion region as well as the other layers.

Frequency filters with various filtering wavelengths were used in the photoelectric characterization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and the experimental results were described and analyzed in terms of the photon energy spectral characteristics calculated from the integration of the photon energy and the spectral intensity of transmitted backlight through the filters at each wavelength. From the comparison of the photocurrents and the calculated photon energy spectrums for the filtered ranges of wavelength, it was possible to conclude that the photocurrents are closely related to the photon energy spectrums of the backlight.

The transient photocurrent in amorphous silicon radiation detectors (n-i-n and forward biased p-i-n) were analyzed. The transient photocurrents in these devices could be modeled using multiple trap levels in the forbidden gap. Using this model the rise and decay shapes of the photocurrents could be fitted. The decaying photocurrent shapes of the p-i-n and n-i-n devices after a short duration of light pulse showed a similar behavior at low dark current density levels, but at higher dark current density levels the photocurrent of the p-i-n diode decayed faster than that of the n-i-n, which could be explained by the decreased electron lifetimes in the forward biased p-i-n diode at high dark current densities. The transient photoconductive gain behaviors in the amorphous silicon radiation detectors are discussed in terms of device configuration, dark current density and time scale.

Nanocrystalline semiconductor film electrodes have been prepared by sintering three different sizes of TiO₂ nanoparticle sols on conducting indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass substrate. The electrochemical and photoelectrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes were comparatively investigated. The particle sizes, surface morphologies and crystallinities of the films were studied by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry and capacitance measurements in the dark implies the formation of depletion layer in the semiconductor films which was usually neglected in the previous studies and shows that flat band potential ($E_{fb}$

The preparation and characterization of photosemiconductive electrodes of GaAs and of $Fe_2O_3$ doped with MgO or CaO were investigated. The doped $Fe_2O_3$ photosemiconductive electrodes were prepared from thin films sintered at temperatures from 1,100 to $1,450^{\circ}C$, and rapidly quenched in distilled water. The surfaces of the electrodes containing both corundum structure of $Fe_2O_3$ and spinel structure of $Mg_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ or $Ca_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The cathodic and anodic photocurrents on these electrodes indicated a critical doping amount of 5-11 wt. %. The photocurrents were enhanced when GaAs electrodes were treated with methylene violet the anodic photo-currents were temporarial enhanced and changed to the cathodic ptotocurrents after the surface was dryed.

Cu₂O films as a photocathode for photoelectrochemical water splitting were potentiostatically deposited on FTO glasses. The morphology and composition of the electrodeposited Cu₂O films were adjusted by the applied potentials. The potential-dependent grain size of Cu₂O films was characterized by XRD and SEM analysis. Photoelectrochemical properties of the fabricated Cu₂O photocathodes were investigated with photocurrents as a function of potentials under 1 sun condition of 100mW/㎠. Photocurrents of the electrodeposited Cu₂O films were controlled with the tailored surface morphologies of Cu₂O photocathodes.

Photo leakage characteristics of a-Si:H TFT were obtained for the illuminations from various backlight sources and the results were compared and analyzed in terms of the photoelectric properties of light. The analysis shows that the photocurrents are related to the wavelengths of the peak intensities of the spectrums of light sources.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and $C_{60}$-encapsulated SWNTs ($C_{60}@SWNTs$) are introduced to Ru-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (PECs), and photocurrents are compared between two cells, i.e., an $RuL_2(NCS)_2$/DAPV/SWNTs/ITO cell and an $RuL_2(NCS)_2$/DAPV/$C_{60}@SWNTs$/ITO cell. [L = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, DAPV = di-(3-aminopropyl)-viologen, and ITO = indium-tin oxide] The photocurrents are increased by 70.6% in the presence of $C_{60}@SWNTs$. To explain the photocurrent increase, the reverse-field emission method is used, i.e., $RuL_2(NCS)_2$/DAPV/SWNTs/ITO cell (or $RuL_2(NCS)_2$/DAPV/$C_{60}@SWNTs$/ITO cell) as an anode and a counter electrode Pt as a cathode in the external electric field. The improved field emission properties, i.e., ${\beta}$ (field enhancement factor) and emission currents in the reverse-field emission with $C_{60}@SWNTs$ indicate the enhancement of the PEC electric field, which implies the improvement of the electron transfer rate along with the reduced charge recombination in the cell.

Wigner functions and density matrices are computer simulated for various quantum mechanical states of light. Wigner function and density matrices are evaluated by filtered back projection which includes inverse Radon transform from the distribution function of the photocurrents, which are calculated in the balanced homodyne detection scheme. The density matrix is also directly obtained by using the pattern function from the simulated phase independent photocurrent distribution function. ction.

A molecular photodiode was fabricated with hetero-Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film consisting of an electron accepter(A) and sensitizer. N-Allyl-N-[3-propylamido-N\",N\"-야(n-octadecyl)]-4,4-bipyridum Dibromide and 7,8-dimethyl-10-dodecyl isoalloxan-zine were used as A and S units, respectively. By aligning hefter-LB film of A/S units on ITO glass with an aluminium thin film, a molecular photodiode with the structure of Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) was constructed. Due to excitation by irradiation with a 460nm monochromatic light source, the photo-induced unidirectional flow of electrons in the MIM device could be achieved and was detected as photocurrents. The direction of energy flow was in accordance with the energy level profile across the LB films. The photo switching function was achieved and the rectifying characteristics was obserbed in the molecular devise.
