  • AC PDP에서 유전체 보호막으로 사용되는 MgO 박막은 높은 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)로 인해 방전전압을 낮춰주는 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이러한 MgO 보호막의 이차전자방출계수를 증가시키기 위해 MgO 의 Energy Band Structure 규명이 중요한 연구 주제가 되고 있다. MgO의 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)는 Auger 중화 이론에 의해 방출 메커니즘이 설명이 되고, 그 원리는 다음과 같다. 고유의 이온화 에너지를 가진 이온이 MgO 표면에 입사 되면, Tunneling Effect에 의해 전자와 이온 사이에 중화가 일어나고, 중화가 되고 남은 에너지가 MgO Valance Band 내의 전자에게 전달되면 이때 남은 에너지(${\Delta}E$)가 MgO의 일함수(Work function) 보다 크게 되면 이차전자로 방출된다. 본 실험 에서는 $\gamma$-FIB System을 이용하여 결정 방향이 (100), (110), (111)을 갖는 Single Crystal MgO에 이온화 에너지가 24.58eV인 He Ion source를 주사 하였을 때 Auger self-convolution을 통해 이차전자의 운동 에너지 분포를 구하고, 이를 통해 MgO 내의 Energy Band Structure를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 이를 통해 MgO Single Crystal의 일함수 및 Defect Level의 분포를 확인하였다.

  • The dehydroxylation of kaolinite was investigated in detail by means of energy-filtering transmission electron microscope with both orientations parallel and perpendicular to c. The dehydroxylation could be characterized by the broad background including (0.211) band (20~24$^{\circ}$ 2$\theta$) on X-ray diffraction and by the three halo rings (d-spacing : 3.28~4.40$\AA$ (near (02,11) band), 2.41~245$\AA$ (near (20,13) band), 1.16~1.23$\AA$ (near (0.8,44) band)), and (02,11) and (20,13) spots on electron diffraction. These indicate existence of a short-range order along the a and b axes. Interplanar spacing of (001) is reduced to about 6.86$\AA$ and the sharp additional intensity maximum of about 14.2$\AA$ reveals that metakaolinite has a modulated structure along c axis. It is proposed that the modulated structure is attributed to the domains consisting of more than two-layers due to the changes of positions of the vacant octahedral sites in successive layers.

  • The exact model of impact ionization events in which has influence on device efficiency, is to be necessary element for device simulation. Recently, a modified Keldysh formula with two set of power exponent of 7.8 and 5.6 is used to simulate carrier transport. This model is, however, not suitable as impact ionization model in low energy range since this ignore direction dependent properties of impact ionization. The impact ionization rate is highly anisotropic at low energy, while it becomes isotropic at higher energy range. Note that impact ionization events frequently occur in high energy range. For calculating impart ionization rate, we use full energy band structure derived from Fermi's golden rule and empirical pseudopotential method. We compare with calculated and experimental value, and investigate direction dependent conduction energy band structure along the direction of <100>, <110> and <111>. We know that the threshold energy of impact ionization is anisotropic and impact ionization rate is very deviated from modified Keldish formula, in relatively low energy range.

  • A silver indium sulfide ($AgInS_2$) epilayer was grown by the hot wall epitaxy method, which has not been reported in the liteniture. The grown $AgInS_2$ epilayer has found to be a chalcopyrite structure and evaluated to be high quality crystal. From the photocurrent measurement in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K, the two peaks of A and B were only observed, whereas the three peaks of A, B, and C were seen in the PC spectrum of 10 K. These peaks are ascribed to the band-to-band transition. The valence band splitting of $AgInS_2$ was investigated by means of the photocurrent measurement. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgInS_2$ obtained from the photocurrent spectrum was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=\;E_g(0)\;eV-(7.78\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T\;+\;116\;K\;K)$. Also, Eg(0) is the energy band gap at 0 K, which is estimated to be 2.036 eV at the valence band state A and 2.186 eV at the valence band state B.

  • In this paper, we propose a new method for artificial bandwidth extension of narrow-band signal in frequency domain. In the proposed method, a narrow-band signal is decomposed into excitation signal and spectral envelope, which are extended independently in frequency domain. The excitation signal is extended such that low-band harmonic structure is maintained in high band, and the spectral envelope is extended based on sub-band energy using NMF. Finally, the spectral phase is determined based on signal correlation between frames in time domain, resulting in the final wide-band signal. The subjective evaluation verified that the wide-band signal generated by the proposed method has a higher quality than the original narrow-band signal.

  • This paper calculates the band structure of the GaAs/(Al,Ga) As semiconductor superlttice with the interface3 grading, in consideration of different effective masses in each region. Including the effective masses, superlattice period, well and barrier widths, and the interface, the dispersion relation is derived, and the effects that the above parameters affect the subband (or miniband) structure of the superlattice and effective energy gap are investigated. It is particularly found that this case(ma<>mb<>mc) is significantly different from the same effective mass case(ma<>mb<>mc).

  • We have analyzed characteristics for the structure of $Al_{0.25}/Ga_{0.75}/As/In_{0.15}/Ga_{0.85}$/AS/GaAS pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) by photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance (PR) measurements. By the PL measurement at 10 K, we observed el-hl transition peak at 1.322 eV and e2-hl transition peak at 1.397 eV in the InGaAs quantum well. We calculated value of 23 meV, the difference between the first energy level and the second energy level of a valence band by dependence of temperatures. Also, (e2-h2) transition signal was observed at 300 K by PR measurement. From the PR measurement, we recognized that the transition was dominated the second energy level of conduction band than the first energy level of conduction band due to band filling. The other hand, PL signal of the first energy level of conduction band was dominated because of the electron screening effect.
