The electronic spectrum of marine dinoflagellate antenna pigment, peridinin, has been described in terms of PPP SCF MO CI computations and fluorescence polarization of the peridinin component in photosynthetic pigment complex of Amphidinium carterae. The main absorption band at 470 nm, $^1B{\leftarrow}A$, is polarized nearly along the long molecular axis. There appear to be two ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ transitions (C and $D{\leftarrow}A$) in the socalled "cis" peak region, and they are polarized roughly parallel to the main $B{\leftarrow}A$ absorption. In addition, we have found that the carbonyl group undergoes very 1ittle reorganization of the electronic structure in going from the ground to the $^1B$ excited states of peridinin, while the allenic group shows a strong charge transfer tendency in producing an electron-deficient allente allene group in the excited state.

$\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$ thin films were grown using the spray pyrolysis method. The thin films crystallized into tetragonal structures. The indirect energy band gap of the thin films was found to be 2.32 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and 1.81 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$(Co:1.0 mol%) at 198K. The direct energy band gap was found to be 2.67 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and 2.17 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$(Co:1.0 mol%). Impurity optical absorption peaks were observed for the ${\beta}$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$ thin films. These impurity absorption peaks are assigned, based on the crystal field theory, to the electron transitions between the energy levels of the $Co^{2+}$ ion sited in $T_{d}$ symmetry.

We investigated the optical property and the electronic subband structure of InAs quantum dots in an InAsGa/GaAs well structure utilizing photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE) and near infrared transmission spectroscopy. From transmission and PLE spectra, we found three bound states in the InAs quantum dot and two bound states in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well, and correlated to the results of intersubband transitions observed in photocurrent spectrum.

New white-light-emitting $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were prepared using different concentrations of $Dy^{3+}$ ions via a solid-state reaction. The phase structure, luminescence, and morphological properties of the synthesized phosphors were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis, fluorescence spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. All the synthesized phosphors crystallized in an orthorhombic phase with a major (020) diffraction peak, irrespective of the concentration of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The excitation spectra were composed of a broad band centered at 298 nm, ascribed to the $O^2-Dy^{3+}$ charge transfer band and five weak bands in the range of 350~500 nm. The emission spectra of $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors consisted of three bands centered at 485, 577, and 665 nm, corresponding to the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{15/2}$, $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$, and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{11/2}$ transitions of $Dy^{3+}$, respectively. As the $Dy^{3+}$ concentration increased from 1 to 15 mol%, the intensities of all the emission bands gradually increased, reached maxima at 15 mol% of $Dy^{3+}$ ions, and then decreased rapidly at 20 mol% due to concentration quenching. The critical distance between neighboring $Dy^{3+}$ ions for concentration quenching was calculated to be $9.4{\AA}$. The optimal white light emission by the $SrSnO_3:Dy^{3+}$ phosphors was obtained when the $Dy^{3+}$ concentration was 15 mol%.

$CdGaInS_{4}:Er^{3+}$ single crystal crystallized in the rhombohedral. with lattice constants a = 3.899 $\AA$ and c = 36.970 $\AA$ for $CdGaInS_{4}:Er^{3+}$. The optical absorption measured near the fundamental band edge showed that the optical energy band structure of this compound had a direct and indirect band gaps. the direct and indirect energy gaps are found to be 2.665 and 2.479eV for $CdGaInS_{4}:Er^{3+}$ at 10 K. The photoluminescence spectra of $CdGaInS_{4}:Er^{3+}$ measured in the wavelength ranges of 500 nm~900 nm and 1500~1600 nm at 10 K. Eight sharp emission peaks due to $Er^{3+}$ ion are observed in the regions of 549.5~560.0nm. 661.3~676.5nm. 811.1~ 834.1 nm and 1528.2~1556.0 nm in $CdGaInS_{4}:Er^{3+}$ single crystal. These PL peaks were attributed to the radiative transitions between the split electron energy levels of the $Er^{3+}$ ions occupied at $C_{2v}$ symmetry of the $CdGaInS_4$ single crystals host lattice.

[Fe II Fe III $BPLNP(OAc)_2](BPh_4)_2$ (1), a new model for the reduced form of the purple acid phosphatases, has been synthesized by using a dinucleating ligand, 2,6-bis[((2-pyridylmethyl)(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)ami-no)methyl]-4-nitrophenol (HBPLNP) . Complex 1 has been studied by electronic spectral, NMR, EPR, SQUID, and electrochemical methods. Complex 1 exhibits two strong bands at 498 nm $(\varepsilon=$ 2.6 ${\times}10^3M-^1cm-^1)$ and 1363 nm $(\varepsilon=$ 5.7 ${\times}10^2M-^1cm-^1)$ in $CH_3CN.$ These are assigned to phenolate-to-FeIII and intervalence charge-transfer transitions, respectively. NMR spectrum of complex 1 exhibits sharp isotropically shifted resonances, which number is half of those expected for a valence-trapped species, indicating that electron transfer between FeⅡ and FeⅢ centers is faster than NMR time scale at room temperature. Complex 1 undergoes quasireversible one-electron redox processes. The $FeIII_2/FeIIFeIII$ and $FeIIFeIII/FeII_2$ redox couples are at 0.807 and 0.167 V ver-sus SCE, respectively. It has Kcomp = 5.9 ${\times}$10 1s(acetato) ligand combination sta-bilizes a mixed-valence FeIIFeIII complex in the air. Interestingly, complex 1 exhibits intense EPR signals at g = 8.56, 5.45, 4.30 corresponding to mononuclear high-spin FeⅢ species, which suggest a very weak magnetic coupling between the iron centers. Magnetic susceptibility study shows that there is a very weak antiferromag-netic coupling (J = $-0.78cm-^1$, H = $-2JS_1${\times}$S_2)$ between FeII and FeIII centers. Thus, we can suggest that complex 1 has a very weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the iron centers due to the electronic effect of the nitro group in the bridging phenolate ligand.

$Dy^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$-co-doped $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films were deposited on sapphire substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering at various growth temperatures. The phosphor thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectrometry. The optical transmittance, absorbance, bandgap, and photoluminescence intensity of the $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films were found to depend on the growth temperature. The XRD patterns demonstrated that all the phosphor thin films, irrespective of growth temperatures, had a tetragonal structure. The phosphor thin film deposited at a growth temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ indicated an average transmittance of 85.3% in the 400~1,100 nm wavelength range and a bandgap energy of 4.31 eV. As the growth temperature increased, the bandgap energy gradually decreased. The emission spectra under ultraviolet excitation at 268 nm exhibited an intense red emission line at 616 nm and a weak emission line at 699 nm due to the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ and $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_4$ transitions of the $Eu^{3+}$ ions, respectively, and also featured a yellow emission band at 573 nm, resulting from the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ transition of the $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The results suggest that $La_2MoO_6$ phosphor thin films can be used as light-emitting layers for inorganic thin film electroluminescent devices.

$VO_2$ is an attractive thermochromic material, in which its electrical and optical properties can be switched by the structural phase-transition about $68^{\circ}C$. Recently, graphene is also a rising material which is researched as a transparent electrode because of its superior electrical and optical characteristics. In this respect, we try to fabricate the hybridized films using $VO_2$ and graphene on transparent sapphire substrate and then we investigate a structure and characterize an optical property for the samples as a function of temperature. According to the result of IR-transmittance analysis of $VO_2$ films as a function of temperature, the graphene-supported sapphire substrates are better about 10% than the bare sapphire substrates. The mean phase transition temperatures are also decreased as the number of graphene-layers increased and the hysteresis of phase transitions are narrowed.

Electroluminescent(EL) devices based on organic materials have been of great interest due to their possible applications for large-area flat-panel displays. They are attractive because of their capability of multi-color emission, and low operation voltage. An approach to realize such device characteristics is to use active layers of lanthanide complexes with their inherent extremely sharp emission bands in stead of commonly known organic dyes. In general, organic molecular compounds show emission due to their $\pi$-$\pi*$ transitions resulting in luminescence bandwidths of about 80 to 100nm. Spin statistic estimations lead to an internal quantum efficiency of dye-based EL devices limited to 25%. On the contrary, the fluorescence of lanthanide complexes is based on an intramolecular energy transfer from the triplet of the organic ligand to the 4f energy states of the ion. Therefore, theoretical internal quantum efficiency is principally not limited. In this study, Powders of TPD, $Eu(TTA)_3(phen) and AlQ_3$ in a boat were subsequently heated to their sublimation temperatures to obtain the growth rates of 0.2~0.3nm/s. Organic electrolumnescent devices(OELD) with a structure of $glass substrate/ITO/Eu(TTA)_3(phen)/AI, glass substrate/ITO/TPD/Eu(TTA)_3(phen)/AI and glass substrate/ITO/TPD/Eu(TTA)_3(phen)/AIQ_3AI$ structures were fabricated by vacuum evaporation method, where aromatic diamine(TPD) was used as a hole transporting material, $Eu(TTA)_3(phen)$ as an emitting material, and Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)Aluminum$(AlQ_3)$ as an electron transporting layer. Electroluminescent(EL) and current density-voltage(J-V) characteristics of these OELDs with various thickness of $Eu(TTA)_3(phen)$ layer were investigated. The triple-layer structure devices show the red EL spectrum at the wavelength of 613nm, which is almost the same as the photoluminescent(PL) spectrum of $Eu(TTA)_3(phen)$.It was found from the J-V characteristics of these devices that the current density is not dependent on the applied field, but on the electric field.

A series of new thorium nitrate complexes with crown ethers have been synthesized from the reaction of the hydrated thorium nitrate, with the appropriate crown ethers of different cavity sizes in various solvents such as methanol, ethanol, butanol, methylacetate, acetone, tetrahydrofuran and acetylacetone. CHN elemental analysis, ICPAS, thermal analysis and Karl-Fischer method have been used to characterize their compositions, and the spectroscopic methods of IR, UV, $^1H-NMR$, and X-ray diffraction have been employed to determine the structures and solvolysis phenomena of these complexes. and the electrical conductances were measured in DMSO, and water solvent. The solvolysis have been observed only in the complexes synthesized in acetylacetone solvent. In the solvated complexes of 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6, the mole ratio of $Th^{4+}$: ligand : acetylacetone is found to be 1:1:1, but in the non-solvated complexes of 12-crown-4 and 15-crown-5, the mole ratios of Th:L are 1:2 and 2:3, respectively, and that in the complexes of both 18-crown-6 and dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 is 1:1. All complexes which were not solvated have shown $n{\to}{\sigma}^{\ast}$ electronic transitions of crown ether whereas complexes solvated have exhibited both $n{\to}{\sigma}^{\ast}$ of crown ether and $n{\to}{\pi}^{\ast}$ transitions of acac. The dissociation mole ratio of $Th^{4+}$ and nitrate ion is found to be 1:1 in aprotic solvent, and 1:4 in protic solvent like water.
