In this study, double-layered anodizing films were formed on Al 5052 and Al 6061 alloys consecutively first in sulfuric acid and then in oxalic acid, and hardness, withstand voltage, surface roughness and acid resistance of the anodizing films were compared with single-layered anodizing films in sulfuric acid and oxalic acid electrolytes. Hardness of the double-layered anodizing film decreased with increasing ratio of inner layer to outer layer for both Al 5052 and Al 6061 alloys, suggesting that outer anodizing film formed in sulfuric acid electrolyte is damaged during the second anodizing in oxalic acid electrolyte. Withstand voltage of the double-layered anodizing films increased with increasing the thickness ratio of inner layer to outer layer. Surface roughness of the double-layered anodizing films were comparable with that of single-layered anodizing film formed in sulfuric acid but higher than that of single layer anodizing film formed in oxalic acid electrolyte. In acid resistance test, all of the double-layered and single-layered anodizing films showed good acid resistance more than 3 h without any visible gas evolution, which is attributable to sealing of pores. Based on the experimental results obtained in this work, it is possible to design a double-layered anodizing film with cost-effectiveness and improved physical and electrical properties by combining two consecutive anodizing processes of sulfuric acid anodizing and oxalic acid anodizing methods.

In this study, double-layered TCO (transparent conductive oxide) films were produced by depositing two distinct TCO materials: $SnO_2$ works as an n-type layer and ITO (indium-doped tin oxide) serves as a transparent conductor. Both transparent conductive oxide-films were sequentially deposited by sputtering. The electrical and optical properties of single-layered TCO films ($SnO_2$) and double-layered TCO ($ITO/SnO_2$) films were investigated. A TCO-embedding photodetector was realized through the formation of an $ITO/SnO_2/p-Si/Al$ layered structure. The remarkably high rectifying ratio of 400.64 was achieved with the double-layered TCO device, compared to 1.72 with the single-layered TCO device. This result was attributed to the enhanced electrical properties of the double-layered TCO device. With respect to the photoresponses, the photocurrent of the double-layered TCO photodetector was significantly improved: 1,500% of that of the single-layered TCO device. This study suggests that, due to the electrical and optical benefits, double-layered TCO films are effective for enhancing the photoresponses of TCO photodetectors. This provides a useful approach for the design of photoelectric devices, including solar cells and photosensors.

In and Ga doped ZnO (IGZO) films were deposited on 5 nm thick Cu film buffered Polycarbonate (PC) substrates with RF magnetron sputtering and then the effect of Cu buffer layer on the optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. While IGZO single layer films show the electrical resistivity of $1.2{\times}10-1{\Omega}cm$, IGZO/Cu bi-layered films show a lower resistivity of $1.6{\times}10-3{\Omega}cm$. Although the optical transmittance of the films in a visible wave length range is deteriorated by Cu buffer layer, IGZO films with 5 nm thick Cu buffer layer show the higher figure of merit of $2.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}-1$ than that of the IGZO single layer films due to the enhanced opto-electrical performance of the IGZO/Cu bi-layered films.

Diamond-like carbon(DLC) films were deposited on buffer-layered ZnS substrates by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(RF-PECVD) method. Ge and GeC buffer layera were used between DLC and ZnS substrates to promote the adhesion of DLC on ZnS substrates. Ge buffer layers were sputter deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and $GeC^1$ buffer layers were deposited by same method except using acetylene reactive gas. The relatinship between film properties and deposition conditions was investigated using gas pressure, RF power and dc bias voltage as PECVD parameters. The hardness of DLC films were measured by micro Vickers hardness test and the adhesion of DLC films on buffer-layered ZnS substrates were studied by Sebastian V stud pull tester. The optical properties of DLC films on butter-layered ZnS substrates were characterized by ellipsometer and FTIR spectroscopy.

In and Ga doped ZnO (IGZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating on glass substrate and TiO2-deposited glass substrates to consider the effect of a thin TiO2 buffer layer on the optical and electrical properties of the films. The thicknesses of the TiO2 buffer layer and IGZO films were kept constant at 5 and 100 nm, respectively. Since the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films show the higher FOM value than that of the IGZO single layer films, it is supposed that the IGZO/TiO2 bi-layered films will likely perform better in TCO applications than IGZO single layer films.

In the preparation of the layered $BaTiO_3$ thin films with high performance, the new stacking method using the continuous cooling of the substrate was introduced. Amorphous/polycrystalline $BaTiO_3$ layered structure was confirmed by SEM and index of refraction. The layered $BaTiO_3$ thin films formed by the new stacking method showed such a high dielectric constant that the layered structure could not be explained by a stacking structure of the two defined layers but could only be explained by multi-layered structure, i.e. amorphous/micro crystalline/polycrystalline structure. The layered $BaTiO_3$ thin film with a thickness of 240 nm showed higher capacitance per unit area and breakdown strength than the double layered $BaTiO_3$ thin film prepared by the conventional stacking method. And well defined ferroelectric hysteresis leer was observed in the layered $BaTiO_3$ thin film with a thickness of 200 nm.

A magnetic field annealing is firstly used for nanostructured Sm-Co/Co films, prepared by magnetron sputtering method. The effects of magnetic field annealing on single-layered Sm-Co films are different from those on multi-layered Sm-Co/Co films. A detailed analysis of microstructures and magnetic properties is made by means of HRTEM, Auger electron spectroscopy, XRD and Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). From magnetic properties and microstructure analysis, it was confirmed that these differences originate from the effects of magnetic field annealing on crystallization behavior of the films. The relationship between magnetic properties and microstructures explains a different demagnetization process of single-layered and multilayered films. For the single-layered Sm-Co films, magnetic-field-annealing makes the main phases change from $CaCu_5/ to Zn_2Th_{17}$ structure, resulting in a decrease of coercivity. The results show that the magnetic-field-annealing is useful to improve the properties of nanostructured Sm-Co(30 nm)/Co(10 nm) films, which ascribe to improving the pinning effectiveness in coercivity mechanism and decreasing the magnetostatic interaction of films. A very high coercivity about 0.7 T was obtained from nanoscaled multi-layered Sm-Co(30 nm)-/Co(10 nm) films.

$TiO_2/BiVO_4$ layered films were prepared by sol-gel and spin coating methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Uv-vis spectroscopy were used to investigate the crystal structure, morphology and ultraviolet-visible absorption of the $TiO_2/BiVO_4$ films. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared films was inspected according to the degradation of methylene blue. The results show that the prepared films present a net chain structure; the absorption band edge had obvious red shift. The degradation of the methylene blue solution was about 80% after 300 mins using $TiO_2/BiVO_4$ layered films under visible light, which was stronger than when using only pure $TiO_2$ film and $BiVO_4$ film.

We have studied the field emission characteristics of multi-layered diamond-like-carbon (DLC) films deposited by vertical electrodes type plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with CH$_4$ and H$_2$ mixture. We deposited a thin layer of DLC on the p$^{+}$-Si substrate and then turned off plasma before another deposition of a new DLC layer. The thickness and the number of DLC layers are varied. The emission characteristics of multi-layered DLC films were compared with conventional one. The multi-layered DLC film shows higher emission current than conventional one.e.

친유기화 층상실리케이트의 함량을 0.25 wt%에서 9 wt%까지 변화시켜 가며 폴리설폰과 용액 블렌드하여 폴리설폰/친유기화 층상실리케이트 나노복합체를 제조하고, 필름으로 성형하였다. 제조된 폴리설폰/친유기화 층상실리케이트 나노복합체 필름은 XRD 및 TEM을 사용하여 박리여부를 확인하였다. 표면의 morphology 변화는 SEM 및 AFM을 통하여 확인하였다. 폴리설폰 수지에 소량의 층상실리케이트 첨가시에는 표면 조도의 변화가 크게 나타나지 않으나 1.5 wt% 이상의 함량을 첨가하면 삽입만 일어난 층상실리케이트에 의해 표면 조도가 커지는 것으로 보인다. 접촉각 측정을 통한 친유기화 층상실리케이트 함량에 따른 표면 장력의 변화도 1.5 wt%의 층상실리케이트 첨가량을 경계로 하여 변화하는 현상이 나타났다. 이는 층상실리케이트의 함량에 따른 분산 효과에 의해 표면에서의 분포와 배열에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.
