In this paper, we report electrical, optical and structural properties of Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures and pressures. The films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on glass substrates in argon (Ar) ambient. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the AZO films deposited at room temperature (RT) and 20 Pa were mostly oriented along a-axis with preferred orientation along (100) direction. There was an improvement in resistivity ($3.7{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$) transmittance (95%) at constant substrate temperature (RT) and working pressure (20 Pa) using the Hall-effect measurement system and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. Our results have promising applications in low-cost transparent electronics, such as the thin-film solar cells and thin-film transistors due to favourable deposition conditions. Furthermore our film deposition method offers a procedure for preparing highly oriented (100) AZO films.

ZnO has been introduced as one of the good candidates for next generation opto-electronics. Recently, ZnO is known to be suitable for the transparent electrode in organic solar cells and light emitting devices. The contact with n-type organic material has been studied due to the n-type properties of ZnO. However, the surface of ZnO has shown different electronic property with respect to its surface orientation. Therefore, it is presumed that there are differences in the interfacial electronic structures between organic materials and ZnO with different orientation. Therefore, it is required to classify the interfacial electronic structures according to the surface orientation of ZnO. In this study, we measured the interfacial electronic structures between the ZnO substrate having various orientations and a typical n-type organic material, tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3). In-situ x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed the interfacial electronic structures. We found the changes in the electronic structures with respect to the orientation of ZnO substrate and it could be used to improve the contact between ZnO and Alq3.

Chemical compositions of planetary nebulae are of interest for a study of the late stage of stellar evolution and for elemental contributions to the interstellar medium of reprocessed elements since possibly a large fraction of stars in 0.8 - 8 $M_{\bigodot}$ range go through this stage. One of the methods for getting chemical composition is a construction of theoretical photoionization models, which involves geometrical complexities and a variety of physical processes. With modelling effort, one can analyze the high dispersion and find the elemental abundances for a number of planetary nebulae. The model also gives the physical parameter of planetary nebula and its central star physical parameter along with the knowledge of its evolutionary status. Two planetary nebulae, NGC 7026 and Hu 1-2, which could have evolved from about one solar mass progenitor stars, showed radically different chemical abundances: the former has high chemical abundances in most elements, while the latter has extremely low abundances. We discuss their significance in the light of the evolution of our Galaxy.

산화아연(ZnO)은 직접 천이 와이드 밴드갭(3.37 eV)과 큰 excitation binding energy (60 meV)를 갖는 II-VI 반도체로 광촉매, light emitting diodes (LED), dye-sensitized solar cell 등의 여러 가지 분야에서 각광받고 있는 물질이다. ZnO는 열역학적으로 안정한 polar terminated (001)면과 nonpolar low-symmetry (100)면을 갖으며 (100)면이 (001)면보다 더 안정하기 때문에 (100)방향의 일차원구조가 쉽게 합성된다. 이러한 일차원 구조는 빛의 산란을 유도하여 더 많은 빛의 흡수를 야기 시킬 뿐만 아니라 일차원 구조를 따라 효율적인 전하 전달을 가능하게 한다. 본 연구에서는 일차원 구조의 장점을 살리면서 더 넓은 표면적을 갖는 hierarchical ZnO nanowire 구조를 수열합성법과 스퍼터링증착법을 이용하여 합성하였다. Hierarchical ZnO nanowire는 SEM, TEM을 이용하여 구조를 관찰하였고 UV-visable spectroscopy를 이용하여 일차원 구조의 ZnO nanowire와의 absorbance, transmittace 차이를 확인하였다.

Nano-scaled metal oxides have been attractive materials for sensors, photocatalysis, and dye-sensitization for solar cells. We report the controlled synthesis and characterization of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nanowires via a catalyst-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid (VS) growth mechanism during TiO powder evaporation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies show that as grown $TiO_2$ materials are one-dimensional (1D) nano-structures with a single crystalline rutile phase. Also, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy indicates the presence of both Ti and O with a Ti/O atomic ratio of 1 to 2. Various morphologies of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nano-structures are realized by controlling the growth temperature and flow rate of carrier gas. Large amount of reactant evaporated at high temperature and high flow rate is crucial to the morphology change of $TiO_2$ nanowire.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) consist of oxidation semiconduction electrode, electrolyte and counter electrode. Among these, Pt as counter electrode of DSC plays a role in helping redox reaction of iodine ions in electrolyte, also, transferring electrons into electrolyte. In this case, it is expected that characteristics of Pt electrodes strongly depend on fabrication process and its surface condition. In this study, electrochemical behavior of the electro-plated Pt electrode was compared with that of the sputtered Pt electrode, using cyclic-voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy (PARSTATE 2273, by AMETEK). Surface morphology of Pt electrode was investigated by AFM (XE-100, by PSIA). As a result, it was considered that electrochemical properties of sputtered Pt electrode is superior to that of electro-plated Pt electrode.

유기 태양전지는 다른 무기계 태양전지에 비해 물질 자체의 쉬운 가공성과 유연한 특성으로 차세대 플렉시블 태양전지로 각광받고 있지만 상대적으로 짧은 수명으로 상용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 유기 태양전지의 짧은 수명의 원인으로는 수분과 산소에 의한 광활성층의 화학적 열화 및 표면의 변화, 전극의 열화, 전자-전공 수송층의 흡습현상 등이 있다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이론적인 열화 메커니즘에 기초하여 일정한 수분과 산소 분위기에서 각 단위층들이 열화되는 현상을 광학적, 화학적 분석을 통해 짧은 수명의 원인을 밝혀내고자 한다. 유기 태양전지의 가혹시험은 $85^{\circ}C$의 온도와 85%의 습도 조건에서 이뤄졌으며, 가혹시간에 따른 열화현상 비교를 위해 0, 50, 100, 250, 500 h 동안 시험을 진행하였다. C-O, C=O 결합 형성에 의한 광활성층의 ${\pi}$공액의 변형은 FT-IR(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy)과 XRD (X-ray diffraction) 측정을 통해 분석하였고 변화된 표면 형상은 FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) 측정을 통해 관찰하였다.

Transparent electrode ZnO:Al(AZO)films were deposited on a PES (polyethersulfone) polymer substrate for thin film solar cells applications. A PES substrate with a thickness of 0.2mm and transmittance > 90% in the visible range was used because it is light weight and can deform easily. AZO thin films were prepared at a fixed DC power, $PO_2\;=\;P(O_2)/[P(O_2)\;+\;P(Ar)]$, and various substrate temperatures. The properties of AZO thin films were examined by X-ray diffraction, UV/VIS spectroscopy, four-point probe, Hall measurements, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The lowest resistivity of all the films was $4.493\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;[\Omega-cm]$ and the transmittance was > 80% in the visible range.

Fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) is referred to organic matter which absorbs efficiently solar radiation energy and fluorescence in the water column. The component and molecular structure of marine organic matter can be changed depending on the various substances and origins of organic matter, and then the organic matter has unique fluorescent properties. As the cutting-edge analytical techniques of optical measurement continuously developing from last few decades, a study on FDOM has been applied as a biogeochemical tracer to quantify the organic matter concentration and to investigate the behaviors and origins of organic matter. Especially, the marine environment around the Korean Peninsula is an ideal research area to study FDOM because of various oceanographic characteristics and the origins of organic matter. This study describes the general properties of FDOM and introduces the cycling and behaviors of marine organic matter based on the domestic research studies.
