Highly self-cleaning thin films of $TiO_2-SiO_2$ co-doped with Ag and F are prepared by the sol-gel method. The asprepared thin films consist of bottom $SiO_2$ and top $TiO_2$ layers which are modified by doping with F, Ag and F-Ag elements. XRD analysis confirms that the prepared thin film is a crystalline anatase phase. UV-vis spectra show that the light absorption of $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films is tuned in the visible region. The self-cleaning properties of the prepared films are evaluated by a water contact angle measurement under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic performances of the thin films are studied using methylene blue dye under both UV and visible light irradiation. The $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films exhibit higher photocatalytic activity under both UV and visible light compared with other samples of pure $TiO_2$, Ag-doped $TiO_2$, and F-doped $TiO_2$ films.

[ $SnO_2$ ]-doped $TiO_2$ thin films were prepared from tin (IV) bis (acetylacetonate) dichloride and titanium diisopropoxide bis (acetylacetonate) with pluronic P123 or degussa P25 as a structural-directing agent. These hydrolyzed sol were spin coated onto Si(100) wafer substrate. The microstructure, morphology and bonding states of thin films were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of these films was investigated by using indigo carmine solution.

It was investigated that the structural and electrical Properties of Ce-doped Ba(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_3$ (BCZT) thin films with a mole fraction of x=0.2 and a thickness about 100 nm. BCZT films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate by a RF magnetron sputtering system. We have measured the thickness profile with Ar/O$_2$ ratio and the surface roughness. It was observed that the oxygen gas, which introduced during the film deposition, have an influence on the roughness of the film and the film roughness was reduced by annealing from 2.33 nm to 2.02 nm (RMS at 500 $^{\circ}C$, Ar:6 sccm, $O_2$:6 sccm). It was found that annealing procedure after top electrode deposit can reduce the dissipation factor.

We investigated the dependence of the various annealing conditions and thickness ($6\sim45nm$) of the Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ coating on the electrochemical properties and the capacity fading of Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ coated $LiCoO_2$ films. The Ti-doped-$Al_2O_3$-coating layer and the cathode films were deposited on $Al_2O_3$ plate substrates by RF-magnetron sputter. Microstructural and electrochemical properties of Ti-doped-$Al_2O_3$-coated $LiCoO_2$ films were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a dc four-point probe method, respectively. The cycling performance of Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ coated $LiCoO_2$ film was improved at higher cut-off voltage. But it has different electrochemical properties with various annealing conditions. They were related on the microstructure, surface morphology and the interface condition. Suppression of Li-ion migration is dominant at the coating thickness >24.nm during charge/discharge processes. It is due to the electrochemically passive nature of the Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ films. The sample be made up of Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ coated on annealed $LiCoO_2$ film with additional annealing at $400^{\circ}C$ had good adhesion between coating layer and cathode films. This sample showed the best capacity retention of $\sim92%$ with a charge cut off of 4.5 V after 50 cycles. The Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ film was an amorphous phase and it has a higher electrical conductivity than that of the $Al_2O_3$ film. Therefore, the Ti-doped $Al_2O_3$ coated improved the cycle performance and the capacity retention at high voltage (4.5 V) of $LiCoO_2$ films.

In this study, N doped $TiO_2$ (TiO-N) thin film was prepared by DC magnetron sputtering method to show the photocatalytic activity in a visible range. Various gases (Ar, $O_2\;and\;N_2$) were used and Ti target was impressed by 1.2 kW -5.8 kW power range. The hysteresis of TiO-N thin film as a function of discharge voltage wasn't observed in 1.2 and 2.9kW of applied power. Cross sections and surfaces of thin films by FE-SEM were tiny and dense particle sizes of both films with normal cylindrical structures. XRD pattern of $TiO_2$ and TiO-N thin films was appeared by only anatase peak. Red shift in UV-Vis adsorption spectra was investigated TiO-N thin film. Photoactivity was evaluated by removal rate measurement of suncion yellow among reactive dyes. The photodegradation rate of $TiO_2$ thin film on visible radiation was shown little efficiency but TiO-N was about 18%.

동시 스퍼터링법으로 $TiO_2$ 박막과 구리를 도핑한 Cu/$TiO_2$ 박막을 제작하고, 금속의 도핑과 열처리 온도에 따른 구조적, 광학적, 광분해 특성을 조사하였다. XRD 측정 결과 구리 도핑의 경우에 입자의 결정 크기가 증가하였으며, SEM 결과 입자들의 크기가 균일하고 입자들의 뭉침이 더 작은 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박막의 흡수단은 아나타제에서 루타일로의 상전이에 의해 밴드갭의 변화로 장파장 영역으로 이동하였고, 또한 입자 크기 증가에 따라 투과율이 급격히 감소하였다. Cu/$TiO_2$ 박막들은 순수$TiO_2$ 박막보다 광분해 특성이 더 우수하였다.

N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids were successfully prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids enhanced absorption in the visible light region, and exhibited higher activity for photocatalytic degradation of model dyes. Based on the experimental results, a visible light induced photocatalytic mechanism was proposed for N-doped anatase $TiO_2$ microcuboids.

고주파 마그네트론 동시 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막에 Ag를 도핑한 $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막을 제작하고, 열처리 온도에 따른 박막의 물리적, 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. XRD 측정 결과로부터 금속을 도핑한 박막이 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 결정크기가 더 작은 것을 확인하였으며, SEM 측정 결과로부터 $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막은 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 골자의 크기가 작고 균일하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 제작된 박막은 가시광선 영역에서 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. $600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박막은 아나타제 결정상이 나타났으며, $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박막은 아나타제와 루타일상이 혼합되어 나타났다 특히, $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 경우 아나타제에서 루타일로의 상전이에 따른 밴드갭 에너지의 변화에 의해 박막의 흡수단이 장파장 영역으로 이동하였다. 또한 박막 내의 흡수와 산란효과에 의해 투과율이 감소하였다. $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막의 광활성은 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Polycrystalline $Ti_{l-x}$ $Co_{x}$ $O_2$thin films on $SiO_2$ (200 nm)/Si (100) substrates were prepared using liquid-delivery metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Microstructures and ferromagnetic properties were investigated as a function of doped Co concentration. Ferromagnetic behaviors of polycrystalline films were observed at room temperature, and the magnetic and structural properties strongly depended on the Co distribution, which varied widely with doped Co concentration. The annealed $Ti_{l-x}$ $Co_{x}$ $O_2$thin films with $x\leq$0.05 showed a homogeneous structure without any clusters, and pure ferromagnetic properties of thin films are only attributed to the X$l-x_{l-x}$ $Co_{x}$X$O_2$phases. On the other hand, in case of thin films above x = 0.05, Co-rich clusters formed in a homogeneous $Ti_{l-x}$ $Co_{x}$ $O_2$phase, and the overall ferromagnetic (FM) properties depended on both FMTCO and FMCo. Co-rich clusters with about 10-150 nm size decreased the value of Mr (the remanent magnetization) and increased the saturation magnetic field.

The effect of Eu contents on the ferroelectric properties of $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3 O_{12}$ (BET) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth Europium titanate thin films with a Eu contents were prepared on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by metal-organic decomposition technique. The structure and the morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, it was found that BET thin films have polycrystalline structure, and the layered-perovskite phase is obtained when the Eu contents exceeds 0.2 (x > 0.2). Also, the ferroelectric characteristics of the BET thin films were found to be dependent on the Eu content. Particularly, the BET films doped with x = 0.75 show better ferroelectric properties (remanent polarization 2Pr = 60.99 C/$cm^2$ and only a little polarization fatigue up to $3.5{\times}10^9$ bipolar switching cycling) than those doped with other Eu contents.
