The surface electronic state of rutile $TiO_2$, which is an oxide semiconductor and has a wide band gap of 3.1 $\sim$ 3.5 eV, was calculated by DV-$X_{\alpha}$ method, which is a sort of the first principle molecular orbital method and uses Hartre-Fock-Slater approximation. The $[Ti_{15}O_{56}]^{-52}$ cluster model was used for the calculation of bulk state and the $[OTi_{11}O_{34}]^{-24}$ model for the surface state calculation. After calculations, the energy level diagrams and the deformation electron density distribution map were compared in both models. As results, it was identified that the surface energy levels are found between the valence and conduction band of bulk $TiO_2$ on the surface area. The energy values of these surface-induced levels are lower than conduction band of bulk $TiO_2$ by 0.1 $\sim$ 1 eV. From this fact, it is expected that the surface energy levels act as donar levels in n-type semiconductor.

The phtoreflectance(PR) spectra of B ion implanted semi-insulating(SI) GaAs were studied. Ion implantation was performed by 150keV implantation energy and 1*10/aup 12/-10$^{15}$ ions/c $m^{2}$ doses. Electronic band structure was damaged by ion implantation with above 1*10$^{13}$ ions/c $m^{2}$ dose. When samples were annealed, " peak was observed at 30-40meV below band gap( $E_{g}$). It should be noted that this energy is close to the ionization energies of S $i_{As}$ , and GeAs in G $a_{As}$ which are also found as impurities in LEC GaAs, it is therefore possible that this feature is related to S $i_{As}$ , or G $e_{As}$ and B ions by implanted defect associated with them. From PR spectra of etched samples which is as-implanted by 1*10$^{14}$ and 1*10$^{15}$ ions/c $m^{2}$ dose, the depth of destroyed electronic band structure was from surface to 0.2.mu.m below surface.nic band structure was from surface to 0.2.mu.m below surface.

Carbon nitride (CN) films were synthesized on silicon substrates by a combined ion-beam and laser-ablation method under various conditions; ion-beam energy and ion-beam current were varied. Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) were employed to characterize respectively the structural and the optical properties of the CN films. Raman spectra show that all the CN films are amorphous independent of the ion-beam current and the ion-beam energy. Refractive indices, extinction coefficients and optical band gaps which were determined from the measured SE spectra exhibit a significant dependence on the synthesis conditions. Especially, the decrease of the refractive indices and the shrinkage of the optical band gap is noticeable as the ion-beam current and/or the ion-beam energy increase.

[ $CuInS_2$ ] filims were appeared from 0.84 to 1.27 of Cu/In composition ratio and sulfur composition ratios of $CuInS_2$ thin films fabricated, Also when Cu/In composition ratio was 1.03, $CuInS_2$ thin film with chalcopyrite structure had the highest XRD peak (112). And lattice constant (a) of and grain size of the film tin s ambient were appeared a little larger than those in only Vacuum The films in S ambient were p-type with resistive of around $10^{-1}{\Omega}cm$ and optical energy band gaps of the films in S ambient were appeared a little larger than those in only Vacuum.

In this paper, to make a solar cell of II-Ⅵ ZnTe compound semiconductor, we studied for the property of the transparent electrode(AZO) and Buffer layer(ZnO), and for reducing the energyband gap of optical absorber layer which are most effective on its efficiency. The ZnTe thin film was used the optical absorber layer of solar cell. Zn and Te were deposited using the co-sputtering method. The thin film was sputtered RF power of Zn/50W and Te/30W, respectively and a substrate temperature of foot under Ar atmosphere of 10mTorr. The energy band gap of the thin film was 1.73ev Then the thin film was annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 10sec under a vacuum atmosphere. The energy band gap of 1.67eV was achieved and the film composition ratio of Zn and Te was 32% and 68%. At the best condition, the Solar Cell was manufactured and the efficiency of 6.85% (Voc: 0.69V, Jsc: 21.408㎃/$cm^2$, Fill factor (FF): 0.46) was achieved.

We have investigated on the photoreflectance(PR) of heavily Si-doped n-GaAs. The PR response was found to be dependent of modulation beam intensity, modulation frequency, and temperature. From the observed Franz-Keldysh oscillation(FKO), we determined the band gap energy and surface electric field. As the temperature is decreased from room temperature to 77K, the band gap energy increases while the surface electric field decreases. The quality of crystal was greatly increased after thermal annealing for 5 min at $500^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the $CuInSe_2$ thin film was prepared by using co-evaporation method in four different substrate temperatures $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. When the substrate temperature was at $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, the single-phase $CuInSe_2$ was crystallized. As the temperature increased, it was shown that the thickness of the thin film was decreased with increment of the hall coefficient. When the sample was prepared at $200^{\circ}C$ of the subsrate temperature, the values of band gap energy (Eg), sheet resister and resistivity were measured 0.99 eV, $89.82\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and $103{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively.

Rutile type of $TiO_{2}$ single crystal was grown by floating zone method in order to obtain the highly transparent and contamination-free single crystal. The linear refractive index of perpendicular and parallel to c-axis was measured as a function o f wavelength from 500 to 1000nm. The optical energy band gap was estimated as 2.99 eV from the absorption spectrum. The theoretical $\chi^{(3)}$} value of $TiO_{2}$ was discussed in comparison with that of $SiO_{2}$ quartz single crystal on the basis of semiempirical model. On the other hand, the second-hyperpolarizability, ${\gamma}({Ti}^{4+})$ was calculated in order to describe the effect of $Ti_{4}$ ion on the third order nonlinear optical properties.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films. $AgGaS_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-Insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaS_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=2.7284 eV-(8.695{\times}10^{-4} eV/K)T^2/(T+332 K)$. After the as-grown $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaS_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K.
