  • For the process simplification in the fabrication of organic light emitting diode(OLED), top emission OLED (TEOLED) was fabricated without lithium fluoride(LiF) used as an electron injection layer (EIL). After co-deposition of Mg and Ag with a different process conditions, a cathode material adjacent to EIL was optimized when Mg and Ag have a ratio of 1:9 considering sheet resistance and transmittance. From the energy band diagram of TEOLED, band gap difference between Trisaluminium (Alq3) and Mg:Ag cathode show the difference of 0.4 eV according to the usage of LiF The fabricated TEOLED without LiF showed the improvement of 5.2 % and 2.7 % in the luminance and the current density comparing that with LiF. The results show there is no significant difference in OLED characteristics regardless of LIF layer in the TEOLED structures.

  • Optical absorption and photoluminescences(PL) of MgGa2Se4 and MgGa2Se4 : Co2+ single crustals were guown by the Bridgman method have been investigated in the visible and near-in frared regions. The optical absorption spectrum showed three absorption peak at 760 nm(13158nm, -1, 1.63eV), 1640nm(6097cm-1, 0.75eV).and 2500nm(4000cm-1,0.49eV) which are assigned the electronic transitions between the ground state and excited states of Co2+ ions with Td sym-metry in MgGa2Se4 host lattice. In PL spectrum the visible emission bands as well as the infrared emission band in these single cuystals are obserned. The visible emission bands are explained due to the radiative transitions of electrons from quasi continusly distributed tarps below the bottom of the conduction band to acceptor levels above the top of the valence band in the proposed energy level scheme. At the same time, it is considered that the infrated emission bands are attributed to electron transitions from the deep levels to the acceptor levels. The mechanism of the optical transition os well explained in terms of the energy diagram of MgGa2Se4.

  • 본 연구에서는 다이오드 소자의 온도 증가에 따른 C-V 특성을 분석하였다. 180 kHz 주파수 조건에서 온도는 300 K에서 450 K까지 50 K 간격으로 가변하였다. 측정 결과 reverse bias 영역에서는 커패시턴스의 온도 의존성이 없었으나, forward bias 영역에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 동일 전압에서의 커패시턴스가 증가하였다. 이로부터 온도가 증가 할수록 소자가 반전(inversion) 상태에서 축적(accumulation) 상태로 빨리 전환함을 확인하였으며, 1/C2-V 그래프로부터 온도 증가에 따른 전위장벽(Built-in potential, Vbi) 감소를 확인하였다. 전위장벽은 0.63 V에서 0.31 V로 온도 상승에 따라 약 0.1 V씩 감소하였다. 이는 energy band diagram에서 p-type 영역과 n-type 영역의 energy band 차가 감소해 공핍층 영역의 폭이 좁아짐을 의미한다. 공핍층의 두께 감소로 다이오드 전류의 급격한 증가뿐 아니라 위에서 언급한 바와 같은 C-V 특성을 보였다. 이번 연구에서는 기존의 보편화 된 I-V 측정을 통한 다이오드 소자 분석과는 달리 온도 변화에 따른 C-V 분석을 통해 소자 내부의 전위 장벽 및 공핍층 폭 감소에 따른 소자 특성 변화를 분석하였다.

  • We modify ZnO nanorods with Zn-porphyrin to obtain the improved characteristics of energy transfer, which is further investigated for the applicability to photovoltaic devices. A nitrogen heterocyclic ligand containing a thiol group is covalently grafted onto the surface of finely structured ZnO nanorods with a length of 50-250 nm and a diameter of 15-20 nm. Zn-porphyrin is then attached to the ligand molecules by the mechanism of metalligand axial coordination. The resulting energy band diagram suggests that the porphyrin-modified ZnO nanorods might provide an efficient pathway for energy transfer upon being applied to photovoltaic devices.

  • The electronic state and chemical bonding of $\beta$-MnO$_2$ with transition metal dopants were theoretically investigated by DV-X$_{\alpha}$ (the discrete variational X$_{\alpha}$) method, which is a sort of the first principles molecular orbital method using the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation. The calculations were performed with a $_Mn_{14}$ MO$_{56}$ )$^{-52}$ (M = transition metals) cluster model. The electron energy level, the density of states (DOS), the overlap population, the charge density distribution, and the net charges, were calculated. The energy level diagram of MnO$_2$ shows the different band structure and electron occupancy between the up spin states and down spin states. The dopant levels decrease between the conduction band and the valence band with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. The covalency of chemical bonding was shown to increase and ionicity decreased in increasing the atomic number of dopants. Calculated results were discussed on the basis of the interaction between transition metal 3d and oxygen 2p orbital. In conclusion it is expected that when the transition metals are added to MnO$_2$ the band gap decreases and the electronic conductivity increases with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. the atomic number of dopants.

  • Poly[3-octylthiophene-co-3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene]s were synthesized in 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 mole ratios, and organic electroluminescent devices were fabricated using the copolymers. The opto-electrical properties of the copolymers were studied by PL, EL spectra, I-V, and V-L curves of the organic electroluminescent devices in conjunction with the energy band diagrams which were obtained from the cyclic voltammogram and the electronic absorption spectra. The LUMO energy level of P(OT/FPT)(1:1) is the lowest as -3.35 eV. In the copolymers P(OT/FPT)(2:1) and P(OT/FPT)(1:1) the ${\lambada}_{max}$ in the PL and EL spectra red-shifted as the mole ratio of fluorophenyl group increased while in P(OT/FPT)(1:2) it showed a blue-shift. This indicates that the backbone chain is twisted due to the steric hinderance of the fluorophenyl group leading to shorter ${\pi}$-conjugation length. P(OT/FPT)(1:1) showed the highest EL intensity and the highest power efficiency among the three copolymers. In P(OT/FPT)(1:2) the roughness of the film surface causes unusually high local leakage current leading to the low efficiency of electroluminescence.

  • We present the discovery of rare active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in nearby (z<0.05) compact elliptical galaxies (cEs) located in isolated environments. Using spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12, four AGNs were identified based on the optical emission-line diagnostic diagram. SDSS optical spectra of AGNs show the presence of distinct narrow-line emissions. Utilizing the black hole (BH) mass-stellar velocity dispersion scaling relation and the correlation between the narrow L([OIII])/L(Hβ) line ratio and the width of the broad Hα emission line, we estimated the BH masses of the cEs to be in the range of 7×105-8×107 solar mass. The observed surface brightness profiles of the cEs were fitted with a double Sérsic function using the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey r-band imaging data. Assuming the inner component as the bulge, the K-band bulge luminosity was also estimated from the corresponding Two Micron All Sky Survey images. We found that our cEs follow the observed BH mass-stellar velocity dispersion and BH mass-bulge luminosity scaling relations, albeit there was a large uncertainty in the derived BH mass of one cE. In view of the observational properties of BHs and those of the stellar populations of cEs, we discuss the proposition that cEs in isolated environments are bona fide low-mass early-type galaxies (i.e., a nature origin).

  • Silicon has considerably good characteristics on electron, hole mobility and its price. With 2-D sinlge-layer Graphene/n-Si heterojunction solar cell shows that in one sun condition exhibit power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 10.1%. This photovoltaic effect was achieved by applying gate voltage to the Schottky junction of the heterostructure solar cell. Energy band diagram shows that Schottky barrier between Si and graphene can be adjust by the external electric field. because of the fermi level of the graphene can be changed by external gate voltage, we can control the Schottkky barrier of the heterostructure solar cell. The ratio between generated power of solar cell and consumption electrical power is remarkable. Since we use the graphene as the top gate electrode, most of the sun light can penetrate into the active area.

  • The floating-gate MOSFETs were fabricated by employing 1.5 m n-well CMOS process and their optical-electrical properties were characterized for the application to CMOS image sensor system. Based on the simulation of energy band diagram and operating mechanism of parasitic BJT were proposed as solutions for the increase of photo-current value. In order to realize them, MOSFETs having multi-gate and channel structures were fabricated and 60% increase in photo-current was achieved through enlargement of depletion layer and parallel connection of parasitic BJTs by channel division.
