The sites for $Fe^{+3}$ are partly substituted by $Co^{+2}$ and $Ti^{+4}$ cations to control coercivity of Ba-ferrite particles for use in high density magnetic recording. The substituted $Co^{+2}$ cation has very much different effects on magnetic properties and particle characteristics from that $Ti^{+4}$ cation has. The decrease in the coercivity with the $Co^{+2}$ substitution is attributed to the formation of excessive spinel-block(S-block) in pure Ba-ferrite crystal, while saturation magnetization is increased and the distributions of coercivity and particle size become broad. The substitution with the $Ti^{+4}$ decreases the sauration magnetization, but has less effect on a change in coercivity than the $Co^{+2}$. The $Ti^{+4}$ acts as a nucleation agent in amorphous phase of formulated compound, and consequently particle size and aspect ratio are decreased. Furthermore, the enhancement of substitution of the $Co^{+2}$ for the $Fe^{+3}$ sites in rhombohedral-block(R-block) by the $Ti^{+4}$ retards the nucleation of spinel phase of Ba-ferrite, which results in uniform magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite particles. It is suggested that the contents of the cations to be substituted for the $Fe^{+3}$ sites are optimized on the bases of magnetic properties and particle characteristics rather than on the base of electrical charge balance.

A new type SO$_2$ gas sensor with a particular inorganic thin film on SAW devices was developed. The sensor consisted of twin SAW oscillators of the center frequency of 54 MHz fabricated on the LiTaO$_3$ piezoelectric single crystal. One delay line of the sensor was coated with a CdS thin film that selectively adsorbed and desorbed SO$_2$, while the other was uncoated for use as a stable reference. Deposition of the CdS thin film was carried out by the spray pyrolysis method using an ultrasonic nozzle. The sensor could measure the concentration in air less than 0.25 parts per million of SO$_2$. Stability of the sensor turned out to be as good as less than 20ppm, recovery time after each measurement was as short as 5 minutes. Repeatability of the measurement was confirmed through so many reiterated experiments. Hence, the SAW sensor developed through this work showed promising performance as a microsensing tool of SO$_2$. Further work required to improve the performance of the sensor includes enhancement of the reactivity of the CdS thin film with SO$_2$ through appropriate dopant addition, an increase of the center frequency of the SAW device.

By investigating photoluminescence (PL) spectra (20 K) of undoped and Be-doped p-type GaSb/GaAs epilayers, the origin has been analyzed by the change due to doping density. We have observed that the PL peak shifts to higher energy and the full-width half-maximum (FWHM) decreases with increasing the doping density below ${\sim}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, contrasted to shift to low energy and increasing FWHM above the density of ${\sim}10^{17}cm^{-3}$. From the variation of the integrated PL intensities of three peaks dissolved by Gaussian fit, it has been analyzed that, as the density increases, the $Be[Be_{Ga}]$ acceptor level (0.794 eV) reduces, whereas the intrinsic defect of $A[Ga_{Sb}]$ (0.778 eV) enhances together with a new $Be^*$ level (0.787 eV) locating between A and Be. We have discussed that it is due to coexistence of the Be acceptor level (${\Delta}E=16meV$) and the complex level (${\Delta}E=23meV$), $Be^*[Ga_{Sb}-Be_{Ga}]$combined by Be and A, in Be-doped p-GaSb, and that the level density of $Be[Be_{Ga}]$ may be reduced above ${\sim}10^{17}cm^{-3}$.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with single emissive layer structures using two fluorescent dopants were fabricated and the device was composed of ITO / NPB ($700{\AA}$) / MADN : C545T - 1.0% : DCJTB - 0.3% ($300{\AA}$) / Bphen ($300{\AA}$) / LiF ($10{\AA}$) /Al ($1,000{\AA}$). C545T and DCJTB were functioned as green fluorescent dye and red fluorescent dye under MADN as host material. Concentrations of C545T and DCJTB was changed in emissive layer of MADN. Optimized OLED device using two fluorescence dopants shows emission efficiency of 8.42 cd/A and luminescence of 3169 cd/$m^2$at 6 V with CIE color coordinate, (0.43, 0.50). Electroluminescence of optimized OLED showed two peak at 500 and 564 nm according to C545T and DCJTB. These results indicate that F$\ddot{o}$ster energy transfer energy transfer was from MADN to C545T and rather than to DCJTB continuously.

In this work, Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction. The effect of sintering/reduction temperature, flow rate of H$_2$-5%/$N_2$-95% mix gas, and ball milling conditions have been investigated on the sake of PDP(Plasma Display Panel) application. The characteristics such as particle morphology and photoluminescence of prepared phosphors were compared to those of commercial Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn Phosphors. It was found that the Phosphor synthesized at 130$0^{\circ}C$ with 0.08 Mn concentration had a maximum brightness, This brightness was increased more 20% by reduction treatment under 100me/min flow rate of 5%H$_2$-95%$N_2$ mixed gas. The size of particles decreased under 3$\mu\textrm{m}$ after ball milling. Especially, higher luminescence was obtained in our Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn phosphors than commercial Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn phosphors, so that they are able to be applied for PDP.

Since many process parameters of FHD(Flame Hydrolysis Deposition) are involved in forming multi-component amorphous silica film ($SiO_2-B_2O_3-P_2O_5-GeO_2$), it has not been easy to predict the optical, mechanical and thermal properties of deposited film from the simple process parameters, such as source flow rate. Furthermore, the prediction of final composition of film becomes even more difficult after sintering at high temperature due to the evaporation of volatile dopants. The motivation of the study was to clarify the quantitative relationship between simple process parameters such as the flow rate of source gases and resulting chemical composition of sintered film. Hence, the compositional analysis of silica soot by FTIR(Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy) and ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry) under the control of the amount of dopant was carried out to obtain the quantitative composition. By measuring spectrum of absorbance from FTIR, the compositional change of B-O, Si-O, OH($H_2O$) in silica film was measured. The concentrations of these dopants were also measured by ICP-AES, which were compared with the FTIR result. The final quantitative relationship between simple process parameters and composition was deduced from the comparison between two results.

$CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ singlecrystals of thenormal spinel structure were grown by the C.T.R. method. The optical energy band structure of these compounds had a indirect band gap at the fundamental optical absorption band edge. The direct and the indirect energy gaps are found to be 2.325 and2.179eV for $Cdln_2S_4$ , and 2.303 and 2.169eV for $CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ at 5K, respectivly. The fundamental absorption band edge of these single crystals shift to a shorter wavelength region with decreasing temperature, and the temperature dependence of the optical energy gaps in these compounds satisfy Varshni equation. The Varshni constants$\alpha and \beta$ of the direct energy gap are given by $13.39{\times}10_{-4}eV/K$ and 509 K for $Cdln_2S_4$ and $29.73{\times}10_{-4} eV/K$ and 1398K for $CdIn_2S_4 and CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$. The Varshni constants ${\alpha}and {\beta}$ of the indirect energy gap are given by 9.68${\times}10^{-4}$ eV/K 308K for $Cdln_2S_4$ and $13.33{\times}10_{-4}eV/K$ and 440K for $CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ respectivly. The impurity optical absorption peaks due to cobalt dopant are observed in $CdIn_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ single crystal. These impurity optical absorption peaks can be attributed to the electronic transitions between the split energy levels of $Co_{2+}$ ions located at $T_d$ symmetry site of $Cdln_2S_4$ host lattece.

0.935Ba$TiO_3$-0.065($Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5}$)$TiO_3+xmol%MnO_2$ (BBNTM-x) ceramics with $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05$ were fabricated with muffled sintering by a modified synthesis process. Their microstructure and enhanced positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) characteristics were systematically investigated in order to obtain lead-free high TC PTCR thermistors. All specimens showed a perovskite structure with a tetragonal symmetry and no secondary phase was observed. Grain growth was achieved when the doped MnO2 was increased above 0.02 mol%. This is due to the effect of positive Mn ion doping as an acceptor compensating a Ba vacancy occurred by the higher donor dopant concentration of $Bi^{3+}$ ion. Especially, enhanced PTCR characteristics of the extremely low ${\rho}_{RT}$ of $9\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, PTCR jump of $5.1{\times}10^3$, ${\alpha}$ of 15.5%/$^{\circ}C$ and high $T_C$ of $167^{\circ}C$ were achieved for the BBNTM-0.04 ceramics.

$[(Co_{1-x}Cu_x)_{0.2}(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{0.8}]_3O_4$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) thin films prepared by metal organic decomposition process were fabricated on SiN/Si substrate for infrared sensor application. Their structural and electrical properties were investigated with variation of Cu dopant. The $[(Co_{1-x}Cu_x)_{0.2}(Ni_{0.3}Mn_{0.7})_{0.8}]_3O_4$ (CCNMO) film annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited a dense microstructure and a homogeneous crystal structure with a cubic spinel phase. Their crystallinity was further enhanced with increasing doped Cu amount. The 120 nm-thick CCNMO (x=0.6) thin film had a low resistivity of $53{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature while the Co-free film (x=1) showed a significantly decreased resistivity of $5.9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Furthermore, the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristics were lower than $-2%/^{\circ}C$ for all the specimens with $x{\geq}0.6$. These results imply that the CCNMO ($x{\geq}0.6$) thin films are a good candidate material for infrared sensor application.

테라헤르츠 소스로 저온 InGaAs를 대체하기 위해 저온에서 성장한 $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$의 성장 온도에 따른 광학적 photoluminescence (PL)과 time-resolved PL (TRPL) 측정을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 Be 도핑 농도에 따른 p형 $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$의 PL과 TRPL 특성을 undoped $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$와 Si-doped $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$ 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 시료는 분자선 엑피탁시 (molecular beam epitaxy)법으로 GaAs 기판 위에 $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$을 다양한 성장온도에서 ${\sim}3.7\;{\mu}m$두께 성장하였다. $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$의 성장온도는 $400^{\circ}C$ 에서 $460^{\circ}C$까지 변화시키며 성장하였으며, Si과 Be 도핑한 $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$ 시료는 약 $420^{\circ}C$에서 성장하였다. 모든 시료의 PL 피크는 ~1450 nm 근처에서 나타나며 단파장 영역에 shoulder 피크가 나타났다. 그러나 가장 낮은 온도 $400^{\circ}C$에서 성장한 시료는 1400 nm에서 1600 nm에 걸쳐 매우 넓은 피크가 측정되었다. PL 세기는 $450^{\circ}C$ 에서 성장한 시료가 가장 강하게 나타났으며, $435^{\circ}C$에서 성장한 시료의 PL 세기가 가장 약하게 나타났다. 방출파장에 따른 PL 소멸곡선을 측정하였으며 double exponential function을 이용하여 운반자 수명시간을 계산하였다. 운반자 수명시간은 빠른 소멸성분 $\tau_1$과 느린 소멸성분 $\tau_2$가 존재하고 빠른 성분 $\tau_1$의 PL 진폭이 약 80%로 느린 성분 $\tau_2$보다 우세하게 나타났다. 각 PL 피크에서의 운반자 수명시간 $\tau_1$은 ~1 ns로 성장온도에 따른 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 방출파장이 1400 nm에서 1480 nm까지 PL 피크 근처에서 운반자 수명시간은 거의 일정하게 나타났다. Be-doped 시료의 PL 피크는 1236 nm에서 나타나며, Si-doped 시료는 1288 nm, undoped 시료는 1430 nm에서 PL 피크가 측정되었다. PL 피크에서 PL 소멸곡선은 Be-doped 시료가 가장 빨리 감소하였으며, Si-doped 시료가 가장 길게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 $In_{0.64}Al_{0.36}Sb$의 광학적 특성은 성장 온도, dopant type, 도핑 농도에 따라 변화하는 것을 확인하였다.
