  • The influences of Gallium doping on the magnetic microstructures and corrosion behaviors of Nd-Fe-B-Ti-C alloys are investigated. The cooling rate for obtaining fully amorphous structure is raised, and the glassforming ability is improved by the Ga addition. The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy image shows that the ${\alpha}$-Fe and $Fe_3B$ soft magnetic phases become granular surrounded by the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ hard magnetic phase. The rms and $({\Delta}{\varphi})_{rms}$ value of Nd-Fe-B-Ti-C nanocomposite alloy thick ribbons in the typical topographic and magnetic force images detected by Magnetic Force Microscopy(MFM) decreases with 0.5 at% Ga addition. The corrosion resistances of $Nd_9Fe_{73}B_{12.6}C_{1.4}Ti_{4-x}Ga_x$ (x = 0, 0.5, 1) alloys are enhanced by the Ga addition. It can be attributed to the formation of more amorphous phases in the Ga doped samples.

  • Among various dopant candidates, nitrogen (N) atoms are considered as the most effective dopants to improve the diverse properties of graphene. Unfortunately, recent experimental and theoretical studies have revealed that different N-doped graphene (NGR) conformations can result in both p- and n-type characters depending on the bonding nature of N atoms (substitutional, pyridinic, pyrrolic, and nitrilic). To overcome this obstacle in achieving reliable graphene doping, we have carried out density functional theory calculations and explored the feasibility of converting p-type NGRs into n-type by introducing additional dopant candidates atoms (B, C, O, F, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl). Evaluating the relative formation energies of various binary-doped NGRs and the change in their electronic structure, we conclude that B and P atoms are promising candidates to achieve robust n-type NGRs. The origin of such p- to n-type change is analyzed based on the crystal orbital Hamiltonian population analysis. Implications of our findings in the context of electronic and energy device applications will be also discussed.

  • The effects of $MnO_2$ doping on the crystal structure, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of (K,Na)$NbO_3$ (KNN) ceramics have been investigated. $MnO_2$ was found to be effective in enhancing the densification and grain growth during sintering. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that Mn ions substituted B-site Nb ions up to 2 mol%, however, further doping induced unwanted secondary phases. In comparison with undoped KNN ceramics, the well developed microstructure and the substitution to B-sites in 2 mol% Mn-doped KNN ceramics resulted in significant improvements in both piezoelectric coupling coefficient and electromechanical quality factor.

  • Recently,electroluminescence devices based on organic semiconductors have made considerable progress. Displays based on organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are commercially available. To gain broader acceptance, the performance of OLED devices has to be further improved, in particular for lighting. This article discusses the possibility to use controlled electrical doping for improving the properties of devices and new approaches for highly efficient white OLED.

  • We have studied superconducting properties of $Mg_{1-x}Al_xB_2$ single crystals from reversible magnetization measurements. It was found that the upper critical fields $H_{c2}$ were decreased for both H // c and H // ab as Al is substituted for Mg. As a result, the large anisotropy of $H_{c2}$ observed in pure $MgB_2$, which is considered as one of the characteristics of two-gap superconductor, was decreased with Al doping. On the other hand, the irreversibility fields $H_{irr}$ were increased for x = 0.1 and were significantly decreased for x = 0.2. In contrary to the anisotropy of $H_{c2}$, the anisotropy of $H_{irr}$ was increased as Al concentration increases.

  • In this work, we demonstrate 800V 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs with several structural alterations to obtain a low threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$) and a high figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$). To optimize the device performance, we consider four design parameters; (a) the doping concentration ($N_{CSL}$) of current spreading layer (CSL) beneath the p-base region, (b) the thickness of p-base ($t_{BASE}$), (c) the doping concentration ($N_J$) and width ($W_J$) of a JFET region, (d) the doping concentration ($N_{EPI}$) and thickness ($t_{EPI}$) of epi-layer. These parameters are optimized using 2D numerical simulation and the 4H-SiC DMOSFET structure results in a threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$) below ~3.8V, and high figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$>${\sim}200MW/cm^2$) for a power MOSFET in $V_B$-800V range.

  • The effects of additional P-doping on the magnetic properties, thermal stability and cation distribution of Co-doped ${\gamma}-{Fe_2} {O_3}$have been investigated by means of magnetic annealing and measurements with vibration sample magnetometer and torque magnetometer. It is found that the P-doping promotes the coercivity and its magnetic-thermal stability, which may be attributed to increase of the cubic magneto-crystalline anisotropy constant, $K_1$ and the activation energy, E, for cation rearrangement, respectively. The cation distribution of P and Co-substituted iron oxide was calculated from the variation of the saturation magnetization with P-doping on the basis of the Neel model. It was found that the most of P ions in the iron oxides occupied the B-site of spinel lattice.
