The effects of ion-doping on $TiO_2$ nanotubes were investigated to obtain the optimal catalyst for the effective decomposition of Rhodamine B (RB) through UV photocatalytic oxidation process. Changing the calcination temperature, which changed the weight fractions of the anatase phase, the average crystallite sizes, the BET surface area, and the energy band gap of the catalyst, affected the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst. The ionic radius, valence state, and configuration of the dopant also affected the photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts on RB removal increased when $Ag^+$, $Al^{3+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ were doped into the $TiO_2$ nanotubes, whereas such activities decreased as a result of $Mn^{2+}$ or $Ni^{2+}$ doping. In the presence of $Zn^{2+}$-doped $TiO_2$ nanotubes calcined at $550^{\circ}C$, the removal efficiency of RB within 50 min was 98.7%.

This paper investigates how various concentrations of lithium ion influence on crystallization of MgO in thin films formed by spin coating and an the discharge characteristic in a flat fluorescent lamp structure. The XRD results indicate $Li^+$ ion enhances the growth of MgO crystal in a spin coated thin film. The discharge property with the $Li^+$ ion doped MgO films show the lithium ion in MgO film clearly reduce the initial discharge voltages of test devices. Interestingly, the test panels with various doped MgO film have somewhat higher static memory margin of than that of pure-MgO owing probably to the pore structure of spin coated MgO films. The CL spectra, which confirm that the doping creates defects energy levels in the band gap of MgO, show the $F^+$ center is the main defects in doped MgO films.

The AgInS$_2$epilayers with chalcopyrite structure grown by using a hot-wall epitaxy (HWE) method have been confirmed to be a high quality crystal. From the optical absorption measurement, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap on the AgInS$_2$/GaAs was derived as the Varshni's relation of Eg(T)=2.1365 eV-(9.89${\times}$10$\^$-3/ eV)T$^2$/(2930+T). After the as-grown AgInS$_2$/GaAs was annealed in Ag-,S-, and In-atmosphere, the origin of point defects of the AgInS$_2$/GaAs has been investigated by using the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of V$\_$Ag/, V$\_$s/, Ag$\_$int/, and S$\_$int/ obtained from PL measurement were classified to donors or acceptors type. And, we concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted the AgInS$_2$/GaAs to optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that the In in the AgInS$_2$/GaAs did net from the native defects because the In in AgInS$_2$did exist as the form of stable bonds.

Optical properties of $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$ and $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$:$Co^{2+}$ crystals are investigated in the visible and near-infrared regions at 298K. The direct band gap at 298K is 1.630eV for the $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$ and 1.567eV for the $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$:$Co^{2+}$ crystals, respectively. In the optical absorption and PAS spectrum of the $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$:$Co^{2+}$, we observed five impurity absorption peaks at $4220cm^{-1}$, $5952cm^{-1}$, $12422cm^{-1}$, $12987cm^{-1}$ and $14184cm^{-1}$. These impurity absorption peaks are attributed to the electronic transitions between the split energy levels of $Co^{2+}$ ions with Td symmetry of $Zn_2AgGaSe_4$ host lattice. The crystal field parameter Dq, the Racah parameter B and the spin-orbit coupling parameter $\lambda$ are given by $442cm^{-1}$, $425cm^{-1}$ and $440cm^{-1}$, respectively.

In this study, diluted magnetic $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers were grown on GaAs(100) substrates by hot-wall epitaxy, and their characteristics were systematically examined. The maximum Mn composition of the $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers was 0.97. The crystallographic orientation was toward <100> and the structure of the $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers was the zincblende structure, identical to those of the GaAs substrate. With increasing the substrate temperature (350~$400^{\circ}C$), Mn composition increased (0.02~0.23) and he quality of the epilayer became worse. The lattice constants increased linearly with increasing Mn composition, but the band gap energy increased nonlinearly with increasing x.

Researches on developing photocatalyst materials for hydrogen production from solar water splitting attract great attentions due to the unlimited and clean characteristics of the solar energy. In this review, photocatalysts used for hydrogen production from the solar water splitting are discussed in terms of material characteristics. In addition, various modification techniques applied to the photocatalysts for improving hydrogen production efficiency are summarized. Finally, light characteristics such as intensity, illumination density and wavelength cutoff are also discussed for the importance of hydrogen production rate.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CdIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.01{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $219\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. From the optical absorption measurement, the temperature dependence of energy band gap on $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was found to be $E_g(T)\;=\;2.7116\;eV\;-\;(7.74{\times}10^{-4}\;eV)T^2/(T+434)$. After the as-grown $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cd-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K.

Using $DV-X{\alpha}$ method, it is calculated that nickel reduces the energy band gap of manganese oxide in 3 additives of titanium, nickel and tin. Therefore, it is estimated that the electrical conductivity of manganese-nickel oxide has the lowest value in 3 kinds of manganese oxide. The manganese oxide and manganese-nickel oxide which were produced by anodic deposition under $30mA/cm^2$ at room temperature in manganese sulfate and manganese-nickel sulfate solution were thermal-analyzed by DTA and TGA. The weight change of manganese oxide continuously decreased below $508^{\circ}C$ and kept constant at $518{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. However, the manganeses-nickel oxide transformed at the temperature range of $510{\sim}537^{\circ}C$. It is observed that the nickel addition to manganese oxide increases transformation temperature and its range.

In this experiment, the oxidations of p-Xylene (140-180 ppmv), one of the air pollutants as a VOC, using $UV/TiO_2$ photocatalyst is studied. In order to increase the specific surface area, the filter is coated by nano $TiO_2$ particles. The photodegradation system consists of a VOCs generator, a photocatalyst filter and a measuring equipment. Illumination is generally provided by two of 20 W black light lamps with 380 nm of wavelength. The filter coated by nano $TiO_2$ particles has a passing efficiency over 80% but a pressure drop of 9.0 $mmH_2O$ at 0.45 cm/s. The filter endurance is better than activated carbon at the same pressure drop.

In this paper, the band structural design that is typically in a line was arranged in a ring shape, so as to configure the high power LED lighting in such a way as to form a concentrated light distribution angle of less than 15 degrees. The parabolic aluminized reflector PAR38 that facilitates design using area and the area of the optical system to the same extent, applied a multiple light-source condenser lens optical system for the control of integration. The LED used here implemented a single linear light source using ans LED module with ans LED, flip-chip chip-scale package. The optical system was designed based on the energy star standard.
