ZnO($Zn_{1+x}O$)는 n-type 반도성 세라믹스로 우수한 전기적, 광학적, 화학적 특성을 갖고 있어 바리스터, 투명 전도막, 화학 및 바이오 센서, UV light emitter 등 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 또한 ZnO에 각종 천이 금속 산화물을 일정량 첨가함에 따라 발생하는 결함준위와 입계 특성의 변화에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 다양한 천이 금속 산화물의 첨가에 따른 전기적 광학적 특성의 변화에 대한 결과들이 많이 보고되고 있지만 서로 상충되거나 해석상 다소 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ZnO에 $Cr_2O_3$를 2.0 at% 첨가하여 Cr 첨가에 따른 ZnO의 결함준위와 입계 특성 변화에 대하여 각종 유전함수($Z^*$, $Y^*$, $M^*$, $\varepsilon^*$, and $tan{\delta}$)를 이용하여 고찰하였다 ZnO에 Cr을 첨가할 경우 결함 중 장범위 쿨롱 인력에 의한 결함(0.13~0.18 eV)이 ~100K 영역에서 나타났으며, ZnO 내 결함 중 대표적인 $Zn_j$와 $V_o$는 서로 겹쳐서 나타났다. 이들 중첩된 결함에 대하여 각종 유전함수를 이용할 경우 서로 분리해 낼 수 있는 강점이 있음을 논하였다. 또한 각 결함준위가 강는 정전용랑(C)과 저항(R)을 impedance-modulus spectroscopy를 이용하여 구한 결과, 소결온도가 높아질수록 정전용량은 증가하였으며, 측정온도가 놓아질수록 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 입계의 정전용량은 소결온도가 높아질수록 높아 지지만 측정온도가 높아질수록 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 각 저항값은 소결온도 및 측정온도가 높아질수록 지수적으로 감소하였다. 또한 분포함수를 이용하여 입계 안정성에 대하여 고찰하였다.

A surface treatment was performed after the screen printing of a carbon nanotube paste for obtaining the carbon nanotube field emission array(CNT FEA) on the soda-lime glass substrate. In this experiment, Ar ion bombardment was applied as an effective surface treatment method. After making a cathode electrode on the glass substrate, photo sensitive CNT paste was screen-printed, and then back-side was exposure by uv light. Then, the exposed CNT paste was selectively remained by development. After post-baking, the remained CNT paste was bombarded by accelerated Ar ions for removing some binders and exposing only CNTs. As results, the field emission characteristics were strongly depended on the accelerating energy. At 100 eV, the emission was highest and as the acceleration energy increases more then 100 eV, the emission decreased. This was due to the removal of CNT itself as well as binders.

Polymer based organic photovoltaics have attracted a great deal of attention due to the potential cost-effectiveness of light-weight and flexible solar cells. However, most BHJ polymer solar cells are not thermally stable as subsequent exposure to heat drives further development of the morphology towards a state of macrophase separation in the micrometer scale. Here we would like to show three different approaches for developing new electroactive polymers to improve the thermal stability of the BHJ solar cells, which is a critical problem for the commercialization of these solar cells. For one of the examples, we report a new series of functionalized polythiophene (PT-x) copolymers for use in solution processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs). PT-x copolymers were synthesized from two different monomers, where the ratio of the monomers was carefully controlled to achieve a UV photo-crosslinkable layer while leaving the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking feature of conjugated polymers unchanged. The crosslinking stabilizes PT-x/PCBM blend morphology preventing the macro phase separation between two components, which lead to OPVs with remarkably enhanced thermal stability. The drastic improvement in thermal stabilities is further characterized by microscopy as well as grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS). In the second part of talk, we will discuss the use of block copolymers as active materials for WOLEDs in which phosphorescent emitter isolation can be achieved. We have exploited the use of triarylamine (TPA) oxadiazole (OXA) diblock copolymers (TPA-b-OXA), which have been used as host materials due to their high triplet energy and charge-transport properties enabling a balance of holes and electrons. Organization of phosphorescent domains in TPA-b-OXA block copolymers is demonstrated to yield dual emission for white electroluminescence. Our approach minimizes energy transfer between two colored species by site isolation through morphology control, allowing higher loading concentration of red emitters with improved device performance. Furthermore, by varying the molecular weight of TPA-b-OXA and the ratio of blue to red emitters, we have investigated the effect of domain spacing on the electroluminescence spectrum and device performance.

An efficiency and brightness of the Organic Light-emitting Diodes(OLEDs) by insertion of the novel layer between a singlet emitter and an electron transporting layer without doping processes, has been improved. The novel layers named as the K-M1 and K-M2 layers have shown the excellent improvement in the carrier balance and recombination efficiency. New devices using the K-M1 and K-M2 layers have shown a high efficiencies of over 15cd/A and 61m/W$(at\;20mA/cm^2)$, and brightness of over $16,000cd/m^2(at\;100mA/cm^2)$, respectively.

Organic thin film EL devices using PPV(poly (p-phenylenevinylene)) as emitter were fabricated on various conditions and structures, their electro-optical properties were estimated. Fabricated EL devices had structures of single layer(ITO(indium tin oxide)/PPV/Mg), double layer(ITO/PVK(poly(N-vinylcarbazole))/PPV/Mg and ITO/PPV/Polymer matrix + PBD/Mg) and three layer (ITO/PVK/PPV/PS(polystyrene)+PBD(butyl-2-(4-bipheny])-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole))/Mg), their electro-optical characteristics were compared with each other. In structure of double layer (ITO/PPV /Polymer matrix + PBD/Mg), the used polymer-matrices were PMMA(poly(methyl methacrylate), PC(polycarbonate), PS and MCH(side chain liquid crystalline homopolymer). When PS as a hole transport layer was used, the luminance characteristics on concentration of PBD was obtained. In results, current-voltage-luminance curves of fabricated devices had characteristics of tunneling effect and the device showed a stable light emitting.

Blue emitting materials, 9,10-bis-biphenyl-4-yl-anthracene (AC-P), 9,10-bis-[1,1';4',1"]terphenyl-4-yl-anthracene (AC-DP), and 9,10-bis[3",5"-deiphenyltriphenyl-4'-yl]anthracene (AC-TP) were synthesized through boration and Suzuki aryl-aryl coupling reaction. EL performance of blue light-emitters was optimized and improved by varying the chemical structures of the side groups. In the thin film state, the three materials exhibit $PL_{max}$ values in the range of 442-456 nm. EL device with the synthesized compounds in the following configuration was fabricated: ITO/4,4',4"-tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)triphenylamine (2-TNATA) 60nm/N,N'-bis (naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB) 15nm/synthesized blue emitting materials (30nm)/1,3,5-tri(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl (TPBi) 20nm/LiF 1nm/Al 200nm. The current efficiency and C.I.E. value of AC-TP were 3.87 cd/A and (0.15, 0.12). A bulky and non-planar side group helps to prevent ${\pi}-{\pi}^*$ stacking interaction, which should lead to the formation of more reliable amorphous film. This is expected to have a positive effect on the high efficiency of the operating OLED device.
