Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and polymer light emitting diodes (PLED) have been regarded as the candidate for the next generation light source and flat panel display. Currently, the most common OLED industrial fabrication technology used in producing real products utilizes a fine shadow mask during the thermal evaporation of small molecule materials. However, due to high potential including low cost, easy process and scalability, various researches about solution process are progressed. Since polymer has some disadvantages such as short lifetime and difficulty of purifying, small molecule OLED (SMOLED) can be a good alternative. In this work, we have demonstrated high efficient solution-processed OLED with small molecule. We use CBP (4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazolebiphenyl) as a host doped with green dye (Ir(ppy)3 (fac-tris(2-phenyl pyridine) iridium)). PBD (2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) and TPD (N,N'diphenyl-N,N'-Bis (3-methylphenyl)-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine) are employed as an electron transport material and a hole transport material. And TPBi (2,2',2''-(1,3,5-phenylene) tris (1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole)) is used as an hole blocking layer for proper hole and electron balance. With adding evaporated TPBi layer, the current efficiency was very improved. Among various parameters, we observed the property of OLED device by changing the thickness of hole transporting layer and solvent which can dissolve organic material. We could make small molecule OLED device with finding proper conditions.

Photoacoustic generation of ultrasound is an effective approach for development of high-frequency and high-amplitude ultrasound transmitters. This requires an efficient energy converter from optical input to acoustic output. For such photoacoustic conversion, various light-absorbing materials have been used such as metallic coating, dye-doped polymer composite, and nanostructure composite. These transmitters absorb laser pulses with 5-10 ns widths for generation of tens-of-MHz frequency ultrasound. The short optical pulse leads to rapid heating of the irradiated region and therefore fast thermal expansion before significant heat diffusion occurs to the surrounding. In this purpose, nanocomposite thin films containing gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), or carbon nanofibers have been recently proposed for high optical absorption, efficient thermoacosutic transfer, and mechanical robustness. These properties are necessary to produce a high-amplitude ultrasonic output under a low-energy optical input. Here, we investigate carbon nanotube (CNT)-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite transmitters and their nanostructure-originated characteristics enabling extraordinary energy conversion. We explain a thermoelastic energy conversion mechanism within the nanocomposite and examine nanostructures by using a scanning electron microscopy. Then, we measure laser-induced damage threshold of the transmitters against pulsed laser ablation. Particularly, laser-induced damage threshold has been largely overlooked so far in the development of photoacoustic transmitters. Higher damage threshold means that transmitters can withstand optical irradiation with higher laser energy and produce higher pressure output proportional to such optical input. We discuss an optimal design of CNT-PDMS composite transmitter for high-amplitude pressure generation (e.g. focused ultrasound transmitter) useful for therapeutic applications. It is fabricated using a focal structure (spherically concave substrate) that is coated with a CNT-PDMS composite layer. We also introduce some application examples of the high-amplitude focused transmitter based on the CNT-PDMS composite film.

Aluminium doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) thin film, which is mainly used as a transparent conducting electrode in electronic devices, has many advantages compared with conventional indium tin oxide(ITO). In this paper in order to investigate the possible application of ZnO:Al thin films as a transparent conducting electrode for flexible film-typed dye sensitized solar cell (FT-DSCs), ZnO:Al and ITO thin films were prepared on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. Specially one-inched FT-DSCs using either a ZnO:Al or ITO electrode were also fabricated separately under the same manufacturing conditions. Some properties of both the FT-DSCs with ZnO:Al and ITO transparent electrodes, such as conversion efficiency, fill factor, and photocurrent were measured and compared with each other. The results showed that by doping the ZnO target with 2 wt% of $Al_2O_3$, the film deposited at discharge power of 200W resulted in the minimum resistivity of $2.2\times10^{-3}\Omega/cm$ and at ransmittance of 91.7%, which are comparable with those of commercially available ITO. Two types of FT-DSCs showed nearly the same tendency of I-V characteristics and the same value of conversion efficiencies. Efficiency of FT-DSCs using ZnO:Al electrode was around 2.6% and that of fabricated FT-DSCs using ITO was 2.5%. This means that ZnO:Al thin film can be used in FT-DSCs as a transparent conducting layer.

본 연구에서는 Sq색소를 이용하여 적색발광의 디바이스를 제작하고, 발광효율을 증가시키기 위해 OXD7과 $Alq_3$층을 발광층과 음극사이에 삽입하여 그 효과를 관측하고, 기구특성을 검토하였다. 정공운송층으로서 TPD, 발광층 호스트재료로서 $Alq_3$, 게스트 재료로서 Sq를 사용하였다. 그 결과 $Alq_3$층의 삽입은 효율을 증가시킬 수 있었지만, 삽입된 $Alq_3$층에서의 발광 때문에 색순도 높은 적색발광을 얻지 못했다. OXD7층의 삽입은 정공을 블로킹하고 정공을 누적시킨다. 이는 전자와 정공의 재결합확률을 증가시키기 때문에 색순도 높은 적색발광을 유지하면서 휘도 특성과 발광효율이 향상되었다.

In the device fabrication, layers of $70{\AA}$-TCTA/$90{\AA}$-$TCTA_[0.5}TPBI_{0.5}$/$90{\AA}$-TPBI doped with $Ir(ppy)_3$ of 8% and an undoped layer of $50{\AA}$-TPBI were successively deposited to form an emission region, and SFC137 [proprietary electron transporting material] with three different thicknesses of $300{\AA}$, $500{\AA}$, and $700{\AA}$ were used as an electron transport layer. The device with $500{\AA}$-SFC137 showed the luminance of $48,300\;cd/m^2$ at an applied voltage of 10 V, and a maximum current efficiency of 57 cd/A under a luminance of $230\;cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength in the electroluminescent spectral and color coordinates on the Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage [CIE] chart were 512 nm and (0.31, 0.62), respectively.

We synthesized bis (2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)(triphenylsiloxy) aluminum (III) (SAlq), a blue-emitting material having a high luminous efficiency, through a homogeneous-phase reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra of SAlq show two peaks at 454 nm and 477 nm. Efficient white light-emitting devices are fabricated by doping SAlq with a red fluorescent dye of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-{2-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-benzo[i,j]quinolizin-8yl) vinyl}-4H-pyran (DCM2). The incomplete energy transfer from blue-emitting SAlq to red-emitting DCM2 results in light-emission of both blue and orange colors. Devices with the structure of ITO/TPD (50 nm)/SAlq:DCM2 (30 nm, 0.5 %)/$Alq_3$ (20 nm)/LiF (0.5 nmj/Al show EL peaks at 456 nm and 482 nm originating from SAlq and at 570 nm from DCM2, resulting in the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.37). The device exhibits an external quantum efficiency of about 2.3 % and a luminous efficiency of about 2.41m/W at 100 $cd/m^2$. A maximum luminance of about 23,800 $cd/m^2$ is obtained at the bias voltage of 15 V.

DSSC의 광전 효율 증대와 Pt 상대전극의 접착성 향상을 위하여 FTO (Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide) 유리면에 Ni underlayer를 전기 도금 후 Pt 층을 전기 도금하였다. Ni underlayer는 $10mA/cm^2$에서 2 min 동안 도금한 경우 Ni 층과 FTO 면사이의 접착성이 가장 우수하게 나타났으며, Ni underlayer를 $10mA/cm^2$에서 2 min, Pt 층을 $5mA/cm^2$에서 1 min 동안 전기 도금한 상대전극의 XRD 분석 결과 Ni 및 Pt의 금속 회절 peak들을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 제조한 상대전극을 사용하여 DSSC의 impedance 측정 결과 75 ohm의 가장 낮은 저항을 나타냈으며, 광전 효율은 5.6%로서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다.

This paper studies various roughness parameters, besides waviness, texture, and nonlinear parameters of Bismarck brown Y (BBY)-doped Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films based on the computed values of optical limiting (OL) threshold power and nonlinear refractive index. The films' morphology, grain size, and absorption spectra were investigated using atomic force microscopy in conjunction with ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The particle size of the films ranged between 4.11-4.51 mm and polymer films showed good homogeneity and medium roughness, ranging from 1.11-4.58 mm. A polymer film's third-order nonlinear optical features were carried out using the Z-scan methodology. The measurements were obtained by a continuous wave produced from a solid-state laser with a 532 nm wavelength. According to the results, BBY has a nonlinear refractive index of 10^-6 cm²/W that is significantly negative and nonlinear. The optical limiting thresholds are roughly 10.29, 13.52, and 18.71 mW, respectively. The shift of nonlinear optical features with the film's concentration was found throughout the experiment Additionally, we found that the polymer samples have outstanding capabilities for restricting the amount of optical power that may be transmitted through them. We propose that these films have the potential to be used in a wide variety of optoelectronic applications, including optical photodetectors and optical switching.

나노과학과 나노기술의 발전에 따라 선택적 패턴 성장을 위한 기술이 주목을 받고 있다. 실리카(Silica) 나노입자는 바이오 라벨링, 바이오 이미징 및 바이오 센싱에 사용되고 있는 유망한 나노소재이다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노입자를 수정된 스토버 방법(Stöber Method)인 졸겔(Sol-Gel) 공정으로 합성하였다. 또한 기판의 표면을 미세접촉프린팅 기술로 발수 처리하여 실리카 나노입자를 선택적으로 패턴 성장시켰다. 합성된 실리카 나노입자의 크기와 선택적으로 패턴 성장된 실리카 나노입자의 표면형상을 전계방출 주사전자현미경(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, FE-SEM)으로 조사하였고, 기판의 표면 기능화에 따른 기판의 접촉각 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 OTS 용액으로 발수 처리된 기판에서는 실리카 나노입자를 스핀 코팅하였을 때, 실리카 나노입자를 관찰할 수 없었으나, KOH 용액으로 친수 처리된 기판에서는 실리카 나노입자가 잘 코팅되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 미세접촉프린팅 기술로 발수 처리한 기판영역 외에서만 실리카 나노입자가 선택적으로 패턴 성장하는 것을 FE-SEM으로 확인하였다. 이러한 실리카 나노입자의 패턴성장 특성을 염료가 도핑 된 실리카 나노입자에 적용한다면, 실리카 나노입자의 패턴 성장 기술은 바이오 이미징 및 바이오 센싱 분야에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
