In the structure of ITO/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N' bis (3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD)/tris (8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum($Alq_3$)/Al device, we studied the efficiency improvement of organic light-emitting diodes due to variation of deposition rate of hole transport layer (TPD) materials using hole-size of crucible boat. The thickness of TPD and $Alq_3$ was manufactured 40 nm, 60 nm, respectively under a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr using a thermal evaporation. The $Alq_3$ used for an electron-transport and emissive layer were evaporated to be at a deposition rate of $2.5\;{\AA}/s$. When the deposition rate of TPD increased from 1.5 to $3.0\;{\AA}/s$, we studied the efficiency improvement of TPD using the hole-size of crucible is 1.0 mm. When the deposition rate of TPD is $2.5\;{\AA}/s$, we found that the average roughness is rather smoother, the luminous efficiency the external quantum efficiency is superior to the others. Compared to the two from the devices made with the deposition rate of TPD is $2.0\;{\AA}/s$ and $3.0\;{\AA}/s$, the external quantum efficiency was improved by four-times and two-times, respectively.

Vacuum deposited N,N-di-1-naphthyl-N,N-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPD) as a hole transporting (HTL) materials in OLEDs was placed on PEDOT-PSS, a hole injection layer (HIL). PEDOT-PSS was spin-coated on to the ITO glass. $C_{60}$-doped NPD-$C_{60}$(10 wt%) film was formed via co-evaporation process and the morphology of NPD-$C_{60}$ films was investigated using XRD and AFM. The J - V, L - V and current efficiency of multi -layered devices were characterized. According to XRD results, the deposited $C_{60}$ thin film was partially crystalline, but NPD-$C_{60}$ film was observed not to be crystalline, which indicates that $C_{60}$ molecules are uniformly dispersed in the NPD film. By using $C_{60}$-doped NPD-$C_{60}$ film as a HTL, the current density and luminance of multi-layered ITO/PEDOT-PSS/NPD-$C_{60}/Alq_3$/LiF/Al device were significantly increased by about 80% and its efficiency was improved by about 25% in this study.

In this work, we investigated simple Aㅣ/TCO/a-Si:H(n)/c-Si(p)/Al hetero-junction solar cells prepared by low temperature processes, unlike conventional thermal diffused c-Si solar cells. a-Si:H/c-Si hetero-junction solar cells are processed by low temperature deposition of n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on textured and flat p-type silicon substrate. A detailed investigation was carried out to acquire optimization and compatibility of amorphous layer, TCO (ZnO:Al) layer depositions by changing the plasma process parameters. As front TCO and back contact, ZnO:Al and AI were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering and e-beam evaporation, respectively. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency under AMI.5 and the quantum efficiency on $1cm^2$ sample have been reported. An efficiency of $12.5\%$ is achieved on hetero-structure solar cells based on p-type crystalline silicon.

Red color OLED has been fabricated by the doping method apply to CBP using co-evaporation, GDI4349 of phosphorescent dopant, and rubrene of fluorescent dopant. The OLED structure are multi-layer of ITO(150 nm)/ELM_HIL(50 nm)/ELM_HTL(30 nm)/CBP : Rubrene, GDI4349 (30 nm)/BAlq (30 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al (100 nm). Accomplished best result at 3 vol.% of rubrene when the OLEDs were made of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 vol.% doped rubrene. The highest efficiency of 7.2 cd/A was resulted at 8 vol.% of GDI4349 when the OLEDs were made among 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% of GDI4349. Obviously, the best concentration of rubrene at 3 vol.% and changing GDI4349 concentration to 5, 8, 11, 14 vol.% OLED dramatically enhanced characteristic of resulted 10.7 cd/A at 8 vol.% of GDI4349. This result would understand to analyse as the emission efficiency increases by energy transport efficiency increase using GDI4349 energy transfer when rubrene absorbs the energy from CBP of fluorescences host.

Over the last several decades, innovative light-harvesting devices have evolved to achieve high efficiency in solar energy transfer. Research on the mechanisms for plasmon resonance is very desirable to overcome the conventional efficiency limits of photovoltaics. The influence of localized surface plasmon resonance on hot electron flow at a metal-semiconductor interface was observed with a Schottky diode composed of a thin silver layer on $TiO_2$. The photocurrent is generated by absorption of photons when electrons have enough energy to travel over the Schottky barrier and into the titanium oxide conduction band. The correlation between the hot electrons and the surface plasmon is confirmed by matching the range of peaks between the incident photons to current conversion efficiency (IPCE, flux of collected electrons per flux of incident photons) and UV-Vis spectra. The photocurrent measured on Ag/$TiO_2$ exhibited surface plasmon peaks; whereas, in contrast to the Au/$TiO_2$, a continuous Au thin film doesn't exhibit surface plasmon peaks. We modified the thickness and morphology of a continuous Ag layer by electron beam evaporation deposition and heating under gas conditions and found that the morphological change and thickness of the Ag film are key factors in controlling the peak position of light absorption.

We have focused on the conversion efficiency of CIGS thin film solar cell prepared by co-evaporation method as well as the optimization of process condition. The total thickness of back electrode was fixed at 1 ${\mu}m$ and the structural, electric and optical properties of CIGS thin film were investigated by varying the thickness of Mo:Na bottom layer from 0 to 500 nm. From the experimental results, the content of Na was appeared as 0.28 atomic percent when the thickness of Mo:Na layer was 300 nm with compactly densified plate-shape surface morphology. From the XRD measurements, (112) plane was the strongest preferential orientation together with secondary (220) and (204) planes affecting to the crystallization. The lowest roughness and resistivity were 2.67 nm and 3.9 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively. In addition, very high carrier density and hole mobility were recorded. From the optimization of Mo:Na layer, we have achieved the conversion efficiency of 9.59 percent.

An exergy analysis is carried out for the regenerative wet-compression Brayton cycle which has a potential of enhanced thermal efficiency owing to the reduced compression power consumption and the recuperation of exhaust energy. Using the analysis model, the effects of pressure ratio and water injection ratio are investigated on the exergy efficiency of system, exergy destruction ratio for each component of the system, and exergy loss ratio due to exhaust gas. The results of computation for the typical cases show that the regenerative wet-compression gas turbine cycle can make a notable enhancement of exergy efficiency. The injection of water results in a decrease of exergy loss of exhaust gas and an increase of net power output.

GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of a 405 nm wavelength have been fabricated on a sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In order to reflect the photons, which are generated in the InGaN active region and emitted to the backside, to the front surface, a reflection layer was deposited onto the back of the substrate. Aluminum was used as the reflection layer and Al was deposited on the sample followed by Ti evaporation for firm adhesion of the reflection layer to the substrate. The light extraction efficiency was enhanced 52 % by adoption of the Ti-Al reflection layer.
