  • Titania has become the most applicable material for photocatalytic application. Nevertheless, titania has the weak point in its wide band gap energy that is mainly activated by UV irradiation. There have been vast research challenges in order to make the wide band gap energy of titania narrow that could be activated in the presence of visible light. Various modifications of titania surface were popular because titania needs to change its surface to respond in visible light. Among the methodological approaches, N-doping to titania can be the alternative candidate because it is facile process and eco-friendly. The activated electron from valence band in N-doped $TiO_2$ migrates to conduction band in the presence of visible light irradiation, which shows photocatalytic activity as well. In this study, focused on the evaluation of nitrogen state after N-doping through brief review. Arguments are still existed in nitrogen states and their different effects on photocatalytic activity. In particular, two nitrogen states are generally reported; substitutional and interstitial states. The research articles regarding N-doped $TiO_2$ are continuously appearing because the potential application of water split in visible light is still fascinate. The future of N-doped $TiO_2$ is also presented by referrals based on various literature.

  • In this paper, structual, optical and electrical properties of CdTe thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation method were studied. The crystal structure of CdTe films deposited at substrate temperature of $100{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ was zincblend type with preferential orientation of the (111)plane parallel to the substrate. The result of optical absoption and transmittance show that solar radiation with energy larger than band gap is almost completely absorbed within an about $2{\mu}m$ thickness of the evaporated CdTe layer and optical band gap of the CdTe film was larger with increasing substrate temperature. The resistivity of CdTe films deposited on the glass substrate was about $10^5{\sim}10^7{\Omega}cm$.

  • The electronic properties of carbon nanotube are currently the focus of considerable interest. In this paper, the electronic properties of finite length effect in carbon nanotube for cabon nanoscale device is presented. To calculate the electronic properties of carbon nanotube, Empirical potential method (Brenner' hydrocarbon potential) for carbon and Tight binding molecular dynamic (TBMD) simulation are used. As a result of study, we have known that the value of the band gap decreases with increasing the length of the tube. The energy band gap of (6, 6) armchair carbon nanotube have the ranges between 0.3 eV and 2.5 eV. Also, our results were compared with the results of the other computational techniques. As that result, our results are very well united.

  • In this work, we have investigated the dependence of annealing temperature(T$\_$a/) on optical and electrical properties of amorphous hydrogenated SiC(a-SiC:H) films. The a-SiC:H films were deposited on corning glass and p-type Si(100) wafer by PECVD (plasma enhanced vapor deposition) using SiH$_4$+CH$_4$+N$_2$ gas mixture. The experimental results have shown that the optical energy band gap(E$\_$opt/)of the thin films annealed at high temperatures have shown that the graphitization of carbon clusters and micro-crystalline silicon occurs. The current-voltage characteristics have shown good electrical properties at the annealed films.

  • In this study, CdS thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were grown at various substrate temperatures in the range of 100 to $250^{\circ}C$. The effects of substrate temperatures on the structural and optical properties were examined. The XRD analysis revealed that CdS films were polycrystalline and retained the mixed structure of hexagonal wurtzite and cubic phase. The percentages of hexagonal structured crystallites in the films were seen to be increased by increasing substrate temperatures. The film grown at $250^{\circ}C$ showed a relatively high transmittance of 80% in the visible region, with an energy band gap of 2.45 eV. The transmittance date analysis indicated that the optical band gap was closely related to the substrate temperatures.
