  • We investigated the width (N) dependence on the magnetization of N-ZSiC NR with electron and hole doping on the basis of systematic DFT calculations. The critical values of the upper and down critical concentration to give the maximum and zero magnetic moment at edge Si/C atoms by electron/hole doping ($x_{up,e}$, $x_{down,e}$, $x_{up,h}$, and $x_{down,h}$) depend on the width of N-ZSiC NR. Moreover, due to $x_{up,e}\;{\neq}\;x_{up,h}$ and $x_{down,e}\;{\neq}\;x_{down,h}$, the electron and hole doping effect are asymmetry, i.e, the critical electron doping value ($x_{down,e}$) is smaller than the critical hole doping value ($x_{down,h}$) and is almost independent of the width of NZSiC NR though the other critical values of the electron and hole doping that influence the magnetization of N-ZSiC NR depend on the width. It was also found that at $x_{down,e}$ or $x_{down,h}$ doping, the N-ZSiC NR turns into unusual non-magnetic metallic state. The magnetic behavior was discussed based on the band structures and projected density of states (PDOS) under the effect of electron/hole doping.

  • The relative contributions of phonon and electron to the thermal conductivity of silicon film with varying doping density are evaluated from the modified electron-phonon interaction model, which is applicable to the micro/nanoscale simulation of energy transport between energy carriers. The thermal conductivities of intrinsic silicon layer thicknesses from 20 nm to 500 nm are calculated and extended to the variation in n-type doping densities from 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{18}$ to 5.0 ${\times}$ $10^{20}$ $cm^{-3}$, which agree well with the experimental data and theoretical model. From simulation results, the phonon and electron contributions to thermal conductivity are extracted. The electron contribution in the silicon is found to be not negligible above $10^{19}$ $cm^{-3}$, which can be classified as semimetal or metal by the value of its electrical resistivity at room temperature. The thermal conductivity due to electron is about 57.2% of the total thermal conductivity at doping concentration 5.0 ${\times}$ $10^{20}$ $cm^{-3}$ and silicon film thickness 100 nm.

  • In this study, optical diagnosis of plasma was performed for nitrogen doping in graphene using a horizontal inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system. Graphene was prepared by mechanical exfoliation and the ICP system using nitrogen gas was ignited for plasma-induced and defect-suppressed nitrogen doping. In order to derive the optimum condition for the doping, plasma power, working pressure, and treatment time were changed. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used as plasma diagnosis method. The Boltzmann plot method was adopted to estimate the electron excitation temperature using obtained OES spectra. Ar ion peaks were interpreted as a reference peak. As a result, the change in the concentration of nitrogen active species and electron excitation temperature depending on process parameters were confirmed. Doping characteristics of graphene were quantitatively evaluated by comparison of intensity ratio of graphite (G)-band to 2-D band, peak position, and shape of G-band in Raman profiles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy also revealed the nitrogen doping in graphene.

  • The substrate doping concentration dependence of strain-enhanced electron mobility in (110)/<110> nMOSFETs is investigated by using a self-consistent Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger-Poisson solver. The electron mobility model includes Coulomb, phonon, and surface roughness scattering. The calculated results show that, in contrast to (100)/<110> case, the longitudinal tensile strain-induced electron mobility enhancement on the (110)/<110> can be increased at high substrate doping concentration.

  • The effects of wall charge and bias voltage on exo-electron emission currents were examined. In addition, the effects of doping elements on the currents were investigated. These results indicated that the statistical delay is inversely proportional to the exo-electron emission currents measured.

  • We present a new physically based analytical equation for electron effective mobility in MOS inversion layers. The new semi-empirical model is accounting expicitly for surface roughness scattering and screened Coulomb scattering in addition to phonon scattering. This model shows excellent agreement with experimentally measured effective mobility data from three different published sources for a wide range of effective transverse field, channel doping and temperature. By accounting for screened Coulomb scattering due to doping impurities in the channel, our model describes very well the roll-off of effective mobility in the low field (threshold) region for a wide range of channel doping level (Na=3.0*10$^{14}$ - 2.8*10$^{18}$ cm$^{-3}$ ).

  • Phase diagrams of electron- and hole-doped $Sr_2VO_3FeAs$ are investigated using Co and Mn substitution at Fe site. Metallic nature survives only for Co (electron) doping, not for Mn (hole) doping. The conductivity of $Sr_2VO_3(Fe,M)As$ (M=Mn,Co) is sensitive to the structural modification of FeAs microstructure rather than carrier doping. This finding implies that the FeAs layer plays a dominant role on the charge conduction, thus the $SrVO_3$ layers should be considered as an insulating block. Also, we found that the superconductivity is rapidly suppressed by both dopants. This result is different from the conventional behavior that superconductivity is induced by doping in the most of Fe pnictides. Our finding strongly supports the uniqueness of $Sr_2VO_3FeAs$ among the Fe pnictide superconductors.

  • The electric property in the $GaAs-Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}$ quantum well with the Si ${\delta}-doping$ layer in a non-central position is studied through the effect of the electric field intensity on the electron distribution. The finite difference method is used for the calculation of the subband energy level and its wavefunction. In order to account for the change of the potential energy due to the charged particles, the self consistent method is employed. As the Si ${\delta}-doping$ layer becomes closer to the heterojunction interface, the electrons less affected by Coulomb scattering are greatly increased under the external electric field. Therefore, the high speed device is suggested due to the fact that the high mobility electrons can be increased by positioning the ${\delta}-doping$ layer in the quantum well and by applying the electric field intensity.

  • B-doped ZnO thin films on glass substrates were prepared by sputtering the ceramic targets which had been prepared by sintering disks consisting of ZnO and various amounts of B2O3 While pure ZnO films show-ed a c-axis oriented growth the B-doping retarded the prefered orientation and grain growth of the film. Electron concentrations for undoped and B-doped ZnO films were on the order of 7.8${\times}$1018 cm-3 and 5${\times}${{{{ {10 }^{20 } }} c{{{{ {m }^{-3 } }} respectively. The electron mobility however decreased with the B-doping concentration. Optical meas-urements on the films showed that the average transmittance in the visible range was higher than 85% The measurements also indicated a blueshift of the absorption edge with doping.
