$Cu_2ZnSn(S,Se)_4$ material is receiving an increased amount of attention for solar cell applications as an absorber layer because it consists of inexpensive and abundant materials (Zn and Sn) instead of the expensive and rare materials (In and Ga) in $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ solar cells. We were able to achieve a cell conversion efficiency to 4.7% by the selenization of a stacked metal precursor with the Cu/(Zn + Sn)/Mo/glass structure. However, the selenization of the metal precursor results in large voids at the absorber/Mo interface because metals diffuse out through the top CZTSe layer. To avoid the voids at the absorber/Mo interface, binary selenide compounds of ZnSe and $SnSe_2$ were employed as a precursor instead of Zn and Sn metals. It was found that the precursor with Cu/$SnSe_2$/ZnSe stack provided a uniform film with larger grains compared to that with $Cu_2Se/SnSe_2$/ZnSe stack. Also, voids were not observed at the $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$/Mo interface. A severe loss of Sn was observed after a high-temperature annealing process, suggesting that selenization in this case should be performed in a closed system with a uniform temperature in a $SnSe_2$ environment. However, in the experiments, Cu top-layer stack had more of an effect on reducing Sn loss compared to $Cu_2Se$ top-layer stack.

지금까지의 실험결과에서 다음과 같은 요약할 수 있다. 1) 사원계 $Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}S_y$ $S_{1-y}$(x=0.13, y=0.16) 에피층은 다소 불규칙한 성장을 나타내어 역삼각형의 결함과 길고 직선인 적층결함으로 형성된 수지상 형태가 발견되었다. 2)역삼각형 결함은 {111}면에 형성된 적층결함으로 둘러싸여 있고 내부에는 결함이 없으나 계면과 수직인 방향인 <001>방향으로 콘트라스트 차이를 이루는 밴드가 형성되었다. 3) 기판과 정합을 이루고 있고 결함이 없는 ZnSe 버퍼 층이 관찰되었으며 결함 및 므와레 줄무늬는 버퍼층과 4원계 에피층과의 계면에서 형성된다. 4) 4원계 에피층에 형성된 적층결함은 Mg 원소의 효과로 길이가 60nm 이상 폭이 40nm 이상의 넓은 간격을 이루고 있다. 5) 긴 적층결함으로 둘러쌓인 수지상 구조에는 국부적으로 주기를 이루며 강한 콘트라스트 차이를 나타내는 줄무늬가 관찰되는데, 이는 Mg 및 S의 국부적인 화학적 조성차이에 기인한 탄성 변형 효과로 생각된다.

In this paper, the undoped and Co-doped $Zn_4SnSe_6$ single crystals grown by the chemical transporting reaction(CTR) method using iodine as a transporting agent are investigated. For the crystal growth, the temperature gradient of the CTR furnace was kept at $680^{\circ}C$ for the source zone and at $780^{\circ}C$ for the growth zone for 7days. It was found from the analysis of x-ray diffraction that the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ compounds have a monoclinic structure. The direct optical energy band gap of the $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6Co^{2+}$ single crystals at 300K were found to be 2.146eV and 2.042eV.

휘발성염기질소가스 중에서 TMA 가스의 선택성을 향상시키고 동작온도가 낮고 저농도에서 감도가 높은 반도체가스센서를 제작하기 위해 ZnO에 촉매불순물 $Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $In_2O_3$ 및 $V_2O_5$등의 다양한 무게비가 함유된 ZnO계 타겟을 제작한 후 RF 마그네트론 스펏터링법으로 산소분위기에서 박막을 증착시켰다. 센서의 전기적 안정성을 위해 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 산소분위기에서 열처리한 ZnO계 박막으로 센서를 제작한 후 DMA(dimethylamine), 암모니아($NH_3$) 및 TMA(trimethylamine) 가스의 감도를 조사하였다. TMA 가스선택성은 DMA 및 암모니아가스에 대한 TMA 가스의 감도비($S_{TMA}/S_{DMA}$, $S_{TMA}/S_{NH3}$)로 정의하였다. $ZnO+Al_2O_3(4\;wt.%)+TiO_2(1\;wt.%)+In_2O_3(1\;wt.%)$ 센서는 160 ppm의 가스농도와 동작온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서 DMA와 암모니아가스에 대한 TMA 가스의 최대 감도비가 각각 5.9와 26을 나타내어 선택성이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

ZnO:Li epilayers were synthesized on sapphire substrates by the pulesd laser deposition (PLD) after the surface of the ZnO:Li sintered pellet was irradiated by the ArF (193 nm) excimer laser. The growth temperature was fixed at $400^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of epilayers was investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of epilayers measured by van der Pauw-Hall method are $2.69\times10cm^{-3}$ and $52.137cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of epilayers obtained from the absorption spectra is well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=3.5128eV{\cdot}(9.51\times10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+280K)$. After the as-grown ZnO:Li epilayer was annealed in Zn atmospheres, oxygen and vaccum the origin of point defects of ZnO:Li has been investigated by PL at 10 K. The Peaks of native defects of $V_{zn},\;V_o,\;Zn_{int},\;and\;O_{int}$ showned on PL spectrum are classified as a donors or accepters type. We confirm that $ZnO:Li/Al_2O_3$ in vacuum do not form the native defects because ZnO:Li epilayers in vacuum existe in the form of stable bonds.

Spinel계 유화물 $Zn_xFe_{1-x}Cr_2S_4$(x=0.05, 0.1, 0.2)에 대하여 X선 회절법, 자기저항측정, $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ 분광법을 이용하여 CMR 특성과 자기적 성질을 연구하였다. 결정구조는 상온에서 입방정으로 정상 spinel 구조를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 자기저항 실험결과 160K 부근 이하에서는 반도체적 전기전도 특성을 보이며, Curie 온도부근에서 최대자기저항 온도가 나타났다. Zn 조성값이 증가함에 따라 Jahn-Teller 효과에 의한 완화 현상이 증가되었으며, 전기 사중극자 이동값 역시 증가되고, 초미세 자기장값은 감소하였다. CMR 특성은 heterovalency에 의한 이중교환 상호작용이나, $Fe^{2+}$와 $Cr^{3+}$ 그리고 $Fe^{3+}$ 사이의 삼중교환 상호작용과는 다른 동적 Jahn-Teller 효과에 의한 도체-반도체전이와 절반 금속성 에너지 밴드구조에서 스핀전자 전이에 의하여 발생되는 것으로 예측된다.

Background: Enteric methane ($CH_4$) accounts for about 70% of total $CH_4$ emissions from the ruminant animals. Researchers are exploring ways to mitigate enteric $CH_4$ emissions from ruminants. Recently, nano zinc oxide (nZnO) has shown potential in reducing $CH_4$ and hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) production from the liquid manure under anaerobic storage conditions. Four different levels of nZnO and two types of feed were mixed with rumen fluid to investigate the efficacy of nZnO in mitigating gaseous production. Methods: All experiments with four replicates were conducted in batches in 250 mL glass bottles paired with the ANKOM$^{RF}$ wireless gas production monitoring system. Gas production was monitored continuously for 72 h at a constant temperature of $39{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ in a water bath. Headspace gas samples were collected using gas-tight syringes from the Tedlar bags connected to the glass bottles and analyzed for greenhouse gases ($CH_4$ and carbon dioxide-$CO_2$) and $H_2S$ concentrations. $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ gas concentrations were analyzed using an SRI-8610 Gas Chromatograph and $H_2S$ concentrations were measured using a Jerome 631X meter. At the same time, substrate (i.e. mixed rumen fluid+ NP treatment+ feed composite) samples were collected from the glass bottles at the beginning and at the end of an experiment for bacterial counts, and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) analysis. Results: Compared to the control treatment the $H_2S$ and GHGs concentration reduction after 72 h of the tested nZnO levels varied between 4.89 to 53.65%. Additionally, 0.47 to 22.21% microbial population reduction was observed from the applied nZnO treatments. Application of nZnO at a rate of $1000{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ have exhibited the highest amount of concentration reductions for all three gases and microbial population. Conclusion: Results suggest that both 500 and $1000{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ nZnO application levels have the potential to reduce GHG and $H_2S$ concentrations.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin films was prepared in a horizontal electric furnace. These $ZnAl_2Se_4$ polycrystals had a defect chalcopyrite structure, and its lattice constants were $a_0=5.5563{\AA}$ and $c_0=10.8897{\AA}$.To obtain a single-crystal thin film, mixed $ZnAl_2Se_4$ crystal was deposited on the thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by a hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and the substrate temperatures were $620^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single-crystal thin film was investigated by using a double crystal X-ray rocking curve and X-ray diffraction ${\omega}-2{\theta}$ scans. The carrier density and mobility of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film were $8.23{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and $287m^2/vs$ at 293 K, respectively. To identify the band gap energy, the optical absorption spectra of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film was investigated in the temperature region of 10-293 K. The temperature dependence of the direct optical energy gap is well presented by Varshni's relation: $E_g(T)=E_g(0)-({\alpha}T^2/T+{\beta})$. The constants of Varshni's equation had the values of $E_g(0)=3.5269eV$, ${\alpha}=2.03{\times}10^{-3}eV/K$ and ${\beta}=501.9K$ for the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ single-crystal thin film. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnAl_2Se_4$ were estimated to be 109.5 meV and 124.6 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnAl_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-exciton for n = 1 and $C_{21}$-exciton peaks for n = 21.

In order to improve the brightness and chromaticity of green emitting low voltage phosphor for FED, we examine PL, PLE and CL emission characteristics of ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O prepared in Ar and vacuum. ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O sintered in vacuum shows about 16 times as bright as the one fabricated in Ar and excellent chromaticity. In PL emission spectra of ZnGa$_{2}$O$_{4}$:Mn,O at low temperature of 9 K, two peaks are observed at 504 nm and 513 nm. At room temperature, the two peaks are superimposed due to the lattice thermal vibrational energy, and only one peak is observed at 509 nm. From PLE measurements, it is believed that the energy levels of the host lattice and Mn ions are coexisted. The energy transfer from the host lattice to the emission center of Mn$^{2+}$ ions occurs.s.
