  • Temperature and injection current dependence of elctroluminescence(EL) spectral intensity of the $In_{0.27}Ga_{0.73}N/GaN$ multi-quantum-well(MQW) have been studied over a wide temperature and as a function of injection current level. EL peaks also show significant broadening into higher photon energy region with the increase of injection current. This is explained by the band-filling effect. When temperature is slightly increased to 300 from 15 K, the EL emission peak showed red-blue-red shift. It can be explained by the carrier localization by potential fluctuation of multiple quantum well and band-gap shrinkage as temperature increase. It is found that a temperature-dependent variation pattern of the EL efficiency under very low and high injection currents show a drastic difference. This unique EL efficiency variation pattern with temperature and current is explained field effects due to the driving forward bias in presence of internal(piezo and spontaneous polarization) fields.

  • Local deformations in back filling materials of two sands and one glass bead with different particle shapes behind a rigid retaining wall were studied. Two kinds of boundary conditions were compared: active wall translation and active rotation of the wall about its toe. Effect of the speed of active wall translation was also investigated. The digital image correlation method was used to analyze local deformation developments inside the materials. Test results showed that particle shape and density mainly influence the inclination angle and width of the shear band. The general shear band pattern is strongly dependent on the wall movement mode, while it was little influenced by particle shape. Within a limited range of wall speed in this study, shear band became wider and local deformation became larger with increase of wall speed.

  • Characteristics of the local vibration modes of an aluminium extruded panel are investigated by the finite element analysis and modal testing. Practical methods to increase the damping of the local resonances are proposed. Effects by filling urethan foam in the core cavity and by coating tar on the panel surface are compared by experiments. Modified panel structures to shift the local resonance frequency band are proposed. The results of the study are utilized to predict the severe local resonances in the aluminium extruded panels and prevent their undesirable effect on the sound insulation.

  • We systematically investigated the negative-refraction effect for both TE and TM polarizations in annular photonic crystals. Since two polarization waves are excited in different bands, they result in different refractive angles, and so polarization beam splitters can be made of annular photonic crystals. It was found that, in comparison to normal square-lattice air-hole photonic crystals, annular photonic crystals have a much wider common frequency band between TE-1 and TM-2, which is quite beneficial to finding the overlap between the negative-refraction regions belonging to TE-1 and TM-2 respectively. Further analyses of equifrequency surfaces and the electric-field distribution of annular photonic crystals with different parameters have not only demonstrated how the filling factor of annular cells affects the formation of the common negative-refraction region between TE-1 and TM-2, but also revealed some ways to improve the performance of a polarization beam splitter based on the negative-refraction effect in an annular photonic crystal.

  • Photoluminescence(PL)와 photoreflectance(PR)를 이용하여 $Al_{0.25}/Ga_{0.75}/As/In_{0.15}/Ga_{0.85}$/AS/GaAS 슈우도형 고 전자 이동도 트랜지스터 구조에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 온도 10K의 PL측정에서 InGaAs 양자우물에 의한 e2-hl 및 e2-hl 전이 피크가 각각 1.322 및 1.397 eV에서 관측되었다. 온도 의존성으로부터 첫번째 가전자 띠와 두번째 가전자 띠의 에너지 차이는 약 23'meV로 나타났다. 또한 300 K에서의 PR 측정으로 e2-h2및 e2-hl 전이에 의한 피크를 관측하였고, 두번째 전도 띠의 에너지 준위에 의한 피크가 띠 채움으로 인해 첫번째 전도 띠의 에너지 준위에 의한 피크보다 상대적으로 우세하였다. 반면에 PL 측정에서는 전자 가리개 효과 때문에 첫번째 전도 띠에 의한 피크가 우세하였다.

  • Thin films of vanadium oxide(VOx) have been deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering from V$_2$O$\_$5/ target in gas mixture of argon and oxygen. Crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical composition, molecular structure and optical properites of films in-situ annealed in O$_2$ambient with various heat-treatment conditions are characterized through XRD, SEM, AES, RBS, RTIR and optical absorption measurements. The films annealed below 200$\^{C}$ are amorphous, and those annealed above 300$\^{C}$ are polycrystalline. The growth of grains and the transition of vanadium oxide into the higher oxide have been observed with increasing the annealing temperature and time. The increase of O/V ratio with increasing the annealing temperature and time is attributed to the diffusion of oxygen and the partial filling of oxygen vacancies. It is observed that the oxygen atoms located on the V-O plane of V$_2$O$\_$5/ layer participate more readily in the oxidation process. Also indirect and direct optical band gaps were increased with increasing the annealing temperature and time.

  • The electronic structure and elastic properties of the 4d transition metal carbides MC (M = Y, Zr, Nb, Rh) were studied by means of extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel tight-binding band electronic structure calculations. As the valence electron population of M increases, the bulk modulus of the MC compounds in the rocksalt structure does not increase monotonically. The dominant covalent bonding in these compounds is found to be M-C bonding, which mainly arises from the interaction between M 4d and C 2p orbitals. The bonding characteristics between M and C atoms affecting the variation of the bulk modulus can be understood on the basis of their electronic structure. The increasing bulk modulus from YC to NbC is associated with stronger interactions between M 4d and C 2p orbitals and the successive filling of M 4d-C 2p bonding states. The decreased bulk modulus for RhC is related to the partial occupation of Rh-C antibonding states.

  • Carbon-supported Pt catalyst systems containing defect adsorption sites on the anode of direct methanol fuel cells were investigated, to elucidate the mechanisms of H2 dissociation and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to determine the effect of defect sites located neighboring to or distant from the Pt catalyst on H2 and CO adsorption properties, based on electronic properties such as adsorption energy and electronic band gap. Interestingly, the presence of neighboring defect sites led to a reduction of H2 dissociation and CO poisoning due to atomic Pt filling the defect sites. At distant sites, H2 dissociation was active on Pt, but CO filled the defect sites to form carbon π-π bonds, thus enhancing the oxidation of the carbon surface. It should be noted that defect sites can cause CO poisoning, thereby deactivating the anode gradually.

  • We investigated oxygen plasma effect on defect states near the interface of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) structure grown on a silicon substrate. After the plasma treatment, electrical properties were evaluated using a frequency dependant Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) and a temperature dependant C-V measurements, and a deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) method to study the change of defect densities. In the depth profile resulted from the temperature dependant C-V, a sudden decrease in the carrier concentration for two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) nearby 250 K was observed. In C-V measurement, the interface states were improved in case of the oxygen-plasma treated samples, whereas the interface was degraded in case of the nitrogen-plasma treated sample. In the DLTS measurement, it was observed the two kinds of defects well known in AlGaN/GaN structure grown on sapphire substrate, which have the activation energies of 0.15 eV, 0.25 eV below the conduction band. We speculate that this defect state in AlGaN/GaN on the silicon substrate is caused from the decrease in 2DEG's carrier concentrations. We compared the various DLTS signals with filling pulse times to identify the characteristics of the newly found defect. In the filling pulse time range under the 80 us, the activation energies changed as the potential barrier model. On the other hand, in the filling pulse time range above the 80 us, the activation energies changed as the extended potential model. Therefore, we suggest that the found defect in the AlGaN/GaN/Si structure could be the extended defect related with AlGa/N/GaN interface states.
