New random copolymers of phenylsilyl- and alkoxy-substituted phenylenevinylene, DMPS(9)-MEH(1)-PPV, DMPS(5)- MEH(5)-PPV and DMPS(1)-MEH(9)-PPV, have been synthesized by the Gilch dehydrohalogenation route, and the light-emitting properties of these polymers have been studied. The synthesized polymers were completely soluble in common organic solvents, and exhibited good thermal stability, almost up to $380^{\circ}C$. They showed UV-visible absorbance and photoluminescence (PL) in the ranges of 422-510 and 513-590 nm, respectively, according to their feed ratios. Electroluminescent devices were fabricated with these polymers as emitting layers, and ITO and Al as anode and cathode, respectively. DMPS(1)-MEH(9)-PPV, DMPS(5)-MEH(5)-PPV and DMPS(9)-MEH(1)-PPV exhibited EL emission maxima at 575 nm, 565 nm, and 541 nm, respectively.

Free burning arcs where the work piece acts as an anode are frequently used for a number of applications. Our investigation is exclusively concerned with a simplified unified model of arcs and anode under steady state conditions at atmospheric pressure. The model is used to make predictions of arc and anode temperatures and arc voltage for a 200 A arc in argon. The computed temperatures along the axis between the cathode tip and the anode surface compare well the measured data. This knowledge of free burning arcfeatures can play a role in developing the atmospheric plasma systems, however, further investigation should include the modelling of Cu evaporation from anode and non-LTE situation near electrodes for more realistic calculations.

We proposed new triode-type Field Emitter Arays using Carbon NanoTubes(CNT-FEAs) as electron emission sources at low electric fields. The CNTs were selectively grown on the patterned catalyst layer by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). In this structure, gate electrodes are located underneath the cathode electrodes and extracted gate is surrounded by CNT emitters. Furthermore, in order to control density of CNTs, we investigated effect of using rapid thermal annealing (RTA).

Recently, carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have been demonstrated to possess remarkable mechanical and electronic properties, in particular, for field emission applications. Its high aspect ratio and extremely small diameter, hollowness, together with high mechanical strength and high chemical stability, are advantages for use in field emitter. In this paper, we demonstrate electrical discharge properties from carbon nanotube cathode electrodes to use as an emitter electrode of vacuum gauges. Vertically aligned $2{\times}2mm^2$ CNT arrays on the silicon substrate were synthesized by the thermal CVD method on Fe catalytic metal, and a glass patterning by the sand blast method and the silicon/glass anodic bonding processes were applied to make samples with 2 electrodes. The field emission was examined under the vacuum range of $10^{-3}$ Torr.

Properties of carbon nano fiber (CNF) as field emitters were described. Carbon nano fiber (CNF) of herringbone was prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD). Field emitters mixed with organic binders, conductive materials and were prepared by screen-printing process. In order to increase field emissions, the surface treatment of rubbing & peel-off was applied to the printed CNF emitters on cathode electrode. The measurements of field emission properties were carried out by using a diode structure inline vacuum chamber. CNF of herringbone type showed good emission properties that a turn on field was as low as 2.1 $V/{\mu}m$ and current density was as large as 0.15 $mA/cm^2$ of 4.2 $V/{\mu}m$ with electric field. Through the results. we propose that CNFs are suitable for application of electron emitters in Field Emission Devices.

Transparent and top emission organic light-emitting device (OLEDs) are the important issues in realizing new display applications such as see-through electronic displays, and flexible displays. The cathode of the transparent and top emission OLEDs should be transparent in the visible light and should not give any damage to the underlying organic layers, in addition to its intrinsic role of injecting electrons into the organic layers. Several authors have investigated the transparent conducting oxide films prepared by sputtering methods. They have introduced the sophisticated sputtering process for reducing the damages. Other groups have developed thermally evaporated transparent cathodes which are believed to be damage free without causing any permanent defect to the organic layers. This review focuses on the vacuum evaporated damage free transparent cathodes.

Green-light emitting OLED with single layer of Alq3 and orange-light emitting OLED with double layer of rubrene/Alq3 as EML were fabricated and characterized comparatively. The two OLED devices were based on an anode of ITO, HTL of TPD, and cathode of Al, respectively. The green light emitting OLED was then prepared with Alq3 as both ETL and EML, while the orange-light emitting OLED was prepared with rubrene deposited on Alq3. All the component layers of the OLED devices were deposited by a thermal evaporation technique in vacuum. Photoluminescence characteristics of the EML layers were investigated. Electrolumiscence characteristics of the OLED devices were comparatively investigated.

Electrode erosion is indispensable for atmospheric plasma systems, as well as for switching devices, due to the high heat flux transferred from arc plasmas to contacts, but experimental and theoretical works have not identified the characteristic phenomena because of the complex physical processes. Our investigation is concerned with argon free-burning arcs with anode erosion at atmospheric pressure by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. We are also interested in the energy flux and temperature transferring to the anode with a simplified unified model of arcs and their electrodes. In order to determine two thermodynamic quantities such as temperature and pressure and flow characteristics we have modified Navier-Stokes equations to take into account radiation transport, electrical power input and the electromagnetic driving forces with the relevant Maxwell equations. From the simplified self-consistent solution the energy flux to the anode can be derived.

A real-time monitoring of immersed antenna type inductively coupled plasma (ICP) was done with a homemade 2 dimensional voltage probe array to check the uniformity of the plasma. Measured voltage values with a high impedance voltmeter are close to the floating potential of the plasma. As the substrate carrier was moving into a magnetron sputtering plasma diffusive from a $125mm{\times}625mm$ size cathode, measured results showed reliably separation of plasma into the upper and lower empty space over the carrier. Infra red thermal imaging camera was used to observe the cross corner effect in situ without eroding a target to the end of the usage. 3 dimensional particle trace model was used to analyze the magnetron discharge's behavior.

We have fabricated top omission organic light emitting diodes with transparent Ba/Ag double layer cathodes deposited by using thermal evaporation method. The device structure was $glass/Ni(200nm)/2-TNATA(15 nm)/{\alpha}-NPD(15nm)Al_{q3}:C545T\;(1%,\;35nm)/BCP(5nm)/Ba(10nm)/Ag(8nm)$. The optical transmittance of the Ba(10 nm)/Ag(8 nm) layer was over 60 % in the visible wavelength region. The maximum efficiency of the device was $13.7\;cd/A\;at\;0.69\;mA/cm^{2}$ and the efficiency of over 10 cd/A was achieved at wide range of current densities and luminances.
