Gallium Nitride (GaN) powders were synthesized by calcining a gallium(III) sulfate salt in flowing ammonia in the temperature range 500-1100$^{\circ}C$. The process of conversion of the salt to GaN was monitored by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The salt decomposed to ${\gamma}$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ and then converted to GaN without ${\gamma}$-${\beta}$Ga$_2$O$_3$ phase transition. Variations in XRD patterns and weight loss of samples with temperature indicate that the conversion of ${\gamma}$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ to GaN does not proceed through Ga$_2$O but stepwise via amorphous gallium oxynitride (GaO$\_$x/N$\_$y/) as intermediates. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of GaN powders obtained showed the emission peak at 363 nm and no yellow band.

Gallium nitride (GaN) powders and nanowires were prepared by using tris(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamato)gallium(III) (Ga(DmDTC)$_3$) and tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)gallium(III) (Ga(DeDTC)$_3$) as new precursors. The GaN powders were obtained by reaction of the complexes with ammonia in the temperature ranging from 500 to 1100 ${^{\circ}C}$. The process of conversion of the complexes to GaN was monitored by their weight loss, XRD, and $^{71}$Ga magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Most likely the complexes decompose to $\gamma$ -Ga$_2$S$_3$ and then turn into GaN via amorphous gallium thionitrides (GaS$_x$N$_y$). The reactivity of Ga(DmDTC)$_3$ with ammonia was a little higher than that of Ga(DeDTC)$_3$. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of asprepared GaN powders exhibited the band-edge emission of GaN at 363 nm. GaN nanowires were obtained by nitridation of as-ground $\gamma$ -Ga$_2$S$_3$ powders to GaN powders, followed by sublimation without using templates or catalysts.

Gallium nitride (GaN) powders were prepared by calcining a gallium(III) nitrate salt in flowing ammonia in the temperature ranging from 500 to 1050 $^{\circ}C$. The process of conversion of the salt to GaN was monitored by X-ray diffraction and $^{71}Ga$ MAS (magic-angle spinning) NMR spectroscopy. The salt decomposed to ${\gamma}-Ga_2O_3$ and then converted to GaN without ${\gamma}-{\beta}Ga_2O_3$ phase transition. It is most likely that the conversion of ${\gamma}-Ga_2O_3$ to GaN does not proceed through $Ga_2O$ but stepwise via amorphous gallium oxynitride ($GaO_xN_y$) as intermediates. The GaN nanowires and microcrystals were obtained by calcining the pellet containing a mixture of ${\gamma}-Ga_2O_3$ and carbon in flowing ammonia at 900 $^{\circ}C$ for 15 h. The growth of the nanowire might be explained by the vapor-solid (VS) mechanism in a confined reactor. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of as-synthesized GaN powders obtained showed the emission peak at 363 nm.

The hydrolysis of gallium(III) has been studied using potentiometric techniques under physiological conditions of temperature 37 C and ionic strength 0.15 moldm-3 NaCl and at different metal ion concentrations. Changes in pH were monitored with a glass electrode calibrated daily in hydrogen ions concentrations. The titration data within the pH range of 2.5-9.99 were analyzed to determine stability constants of hydroxide species using the SUPERQUAD program. Several different species were considered during the calculation procedure and the following hydroxides have been characterized: Ga(OH)3, Ga(OH)4- Ga3(OH)112-, Ga4(OH)11+ and Ga6(OH)153+. Speciation calculations based on the determined constants were then used to simulate the species distribution.

We have investigated the structures, the energetic, and the nanomechanics of the single-wall boron-, aluminum-, and gallium-nitride nanotubes using atomistic simulations based on the Tersoff-type potential. The Tersoff-type potential for the III-nitride materials has effectively described the properties of the III-nitride nanotubes. Nanomechanics of boron-, aluminum-, and gallium-nitride nanotubes under the compression loading has been investigated and their Young's moduli were calculated.

아연광 중 미량으로 존재하는 갈륨 및 인듐을 유도결합 플라스마 원자방출분광법(ICP-AES)으로 분석할 때 간섭하는 아연 및 다른 이온들과 특히 Fe(III) 이온으로부터 이들을 분리하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 갈륨과 인듐을 tributyl phosphate(TBP)로 용매추출하였는데 이때 영향을 주는 산농도, 다른 이온들의 간섭, 수용액상/유기상의 비율, TBP의 농도 및 탈거율 등에 대하여 조사하였다. 갈륨과 인듐이 함유되어 있는 아연광을 녹인 5N 염산용액에서 100% TBP로 추출하여 아연 및 기타 간섭이온들로부터 분리하였으며, 이때 철(III)이온은 hydroxylamine hydrochloride를 사용하여 Fe(II)로 환원시켜 coetraction되는 것을 방지하였다. 유기상으로부터 갈륨과 인듐의 탈거는 0.02N 염산용액으로 역추출하여 이루어졌으며 이 용액을 ICP-AES로 측정하여 이들을 정량하였다. 전체적으로 추출률이 95% 이상으로 정량적이었다.

Growth mechanism of GS-MBE(Gas source-Molecular Beam Epitaxy) has been investigated. We observed that the growth rate of GaN films is changing from 520 nm/h to 440 nm/h by the variation of V/III ratio under nitrogen-rich growth condition. It was explained that the amount of hydrogen on the growth front varies by the ammonia flow, and gallium hydrides are generated on the surface by a reaction of hydrogen and gallium, resultantly the amount of gallium supplying is changing along with the $NH_3$ flow. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) observation was used to confirm the N-rich condition. The crystal quality of GaN was estimated by photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

제강더스트 중에 미량으로 함유되어 있는 갈륨을 분리 회수하는 프로세스를 연구하였다. 2.25mol/l-$H_2SO_4$ 침출에의하여 38mg/l의 갈륨을 함유하는 수용액을 얻었다. 이 침출액 중에서 1000배 량의 철과 아연이 함유되어 있다. 침출액 중의 갈륨은 철(III)이온을 철(II)이온으로 환원하고, pH 조정한 후, 아미노카르본산형 관능기를 가진 킬레이트 수지를 이용하여 흡착 농축하였다. 1.5mol/l-$H_2SO_4$에 의한 용리액을 칼럼에 재공급하고 재농축하여, 3.0mol/l-HCl을 이용하여 용리하였다. 용리액 중의 갈륨은 13g/l의 농도를 나타내었다. 갈륨의 정제는 용매추출법에 의하여 정제하였다. 추출제로는 TOMAC(tri-n-octhylmethylammonium chloride)을 사용하여 순수한 갈륨 정제액을 얻었다.

This paper presents a review of an improved high power-high frequency III-V wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor device, Gallium Nitride (GaN). The device offers better efficiency and thermal management with higher switching frequency. By having higher blocking voltage, GaN can be used for high voltage applications. In addition, the weight and size of passive components on the printed circuit board can be reduced substantially when operating at high frequency. With proper management of thermal and gate drive design, the GaN power converter is expected to generate higher power density with lower stress compared to its counterparts, Silicon (Si) devices. The main contribution of this work is to provide additional information to young researchers in exploring new approaches based on the device's capability and characteristics in applications using the GaN power converter design.
