$VO_x$ 박막이 상온에서 $Pt/Ti/SiO_{2}/Si$ 기판위에 반응성 radio frequency (rf) 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의하여 450 nm 두께로 증착되었다. 증착 공정에서 산소의 농도와 타겟에 인가되는 rf power를 변수로 설정하여 증착 속도를 조사하였다. $VO_x$ 박막의 증착속도는 산소 농도가 증가함에 따라서 감소하고, rf power가 증가할수록 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 증착된 $VO_x$ 박막은 $O_{2}$와 $N_{2}$ 가스 분위기에서 $450^{\circ}C$의 온도로 2, 4, 그리고 6 h 동안 각각 열처리 되었고, 열처리 과정을 진행한 후 x-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 이용하여 열처리 전과 후의 결정성 변화를 관찰하였다. 그리고 열처리 전과 후의 $VO_x$ 박막의 표면과 단면을 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM)를 이용하여 관찰하였으며 전류-전압 측정을 이용하여, 증착된 $VO_x$ 박막의 metal-insulator transition (MIT) 특성을 관찰하였다. $N_{2}$ 분위기에서 열처리된 $VO_x$ 박막보다 $O_{2}$ 분위기에서 열처리된 $VO_x$ 박막에서 더 우수한 MIT 특성을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

Chalcogenide and oxide heterostructures have been studied as a next-generation electronic materials, due to their interesting electronic properties, such as direct bandgap semiconductor, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, charge-density waves, and metal-insulator transition, and their modification near heterointerfaces, so called, electronic reconstruction. An angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful technique to unveil such novel electronic phases in detail, especially combined with high quality thin film preparation methods, such as, molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition. In this article, the recent ARPES results in chalcogenide and oxide thin films will be introduced.

Magnetic field induced structural transition has been systematically investigated for $La_{1-x}Ba_xMnO_3$ with the fine control of carrier doping $(0.15{\leq}x{\leq}0.20)$. Application of a magnetic field results in the suppression of the rhombohedral-orthorhombic transition temperature $(T_s)$ and the increase of insulator-metal transition temperature $(T_{MI})$. Near x = 0.17, where $T_S$ is similar to $T_{MI}$ at zero magnetic field, we found that the $T_S$ smoothly decreased with magnetic field even though it intersected the $T_{MI}$ near 3 T. Also, the magnetostructural phase diagram obtained from the temperature sweep and from the magnetic field sweep is not significantly modified. By comparing the magnetostructural transition in $La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3$, we have suggested that the large disorder originated from ionic size differences between La and Ba may weaken the sensitivity of the kinetic energy of $e_g$ electrons on the degree of lattice distortion in $La_{1-x}Ba_xMnO_3$.

The metal intercalation to an organic semiconductor is of importance since the charge transfer between a metal and an organic semiconductor can induce the highly enhanced conductivity for achieving efficient organic electronic devices. In this regard, the changes of the electronic structure of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) caused by the intercalation of potassium are studied by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Potassium intercalation leads to the appearance of an intercalation-induced peak between the highest molecular occupied orbital (HOMO) and the lowest molecular unoccupied orbital (LUMO) in the valence-band spectra obtained using UPS. The DFT calculations show that the new gap state is attributed to filling the LUMO+1, unlike a common belief of filling the LUMO. However, the LUMO+1 is not conductive because the ${\pi}$-conjugated macrocyclic isoindole rings on the molecule do not make a contribution to the LUMO+1. This is the origin of a metal-insulator transition through heavily potassium doped CuPc.

본 연구에서는 sol-gel법을 이용해 제작된 $VO_2$ 박막의 광전변환 특성을 연구하기 위해 광 조사 유무에 의해 생성되는 전류를 bias voltage에 따라 온도별로 측정하였다. 그 결과, 광 조사 유무에 따라 박막에서 생성되는 전류가 변화되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, bias voltage가 증가할수록 전류가 일정하게 늘어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 광에 의해 생성되는 전류는 $VO_2$에서의 MIT 온도보다 낮은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 최대였다. 이러한 결과는 $VO_2$에서 photo-voltaic 효과가 발생함을 의미하며, 따라서 $VO_2$ 박막을 광전변환 소자로 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

NiO 산화물 타겟을 이용한 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터 방법으로 유리 기판 위에 NiO 박막을 Ar 가스만을 사용하여 증착하였으며, 증착 온도에 따라 NiO 박막 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. XRD 측정으로부터 증착된 박막의 결정구조는 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 (111) 면의 우선 배향성으로 보이다가 $350^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 (220) 면의 우선 배향성을 가지는 다결정 입방구조임을 확인하였다. NiO 박막의 전기적 특성의 변화는 기판의 온도가 $200^{\circ}C$까지는 $10^5\;{\Omega}cm$의 부도체에 가까운 높은 비저항을 보였고 기판의 온도가 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 $10^{-1}{\sim}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$의 도체의 특성을 보이는 낮은 비저항으로 감소하는 Mott-Insulator Transition(MIT) 현상을 관측하였다. NiO 박막 내의 증착 온도 변화에 따른 ${\sim}10^7$ 정도의 큰 비저항 변화를 결정성, 결정립의 변화 및 밴드 갭의 변화 등으로 설명하였다.

The dc resistivity dc magnetization and thermopower of layered perovskite La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7.07 have been studied. The ceramic sample of La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7.07 undergoes the metal-insulator transition at 120K while a first-order phase transition from a ferromagnetic phase to a paramagnetic phae is observed at 260 K=TC This behavior is quite different from that of the well-known double exchange ferromagnets such as La1-xCaxMnO3 This phenomenon could be understood by considering the effects of the anisotropic double exchange interaction caused by two dimensional Mn-O-Mn networks in this materials. The dc magnetization between 120K and 250K is nearly constant and decreases rapidly with increasing temperature above 250K The measurements of dc resistivity and thermopower indicate that Zener polaron hopping conduction takes place above 260 K.

$(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ containing non-centrosymmetric anions is well known to exhibit a metal insulator transition around 37 K by ordering of the anions with a $q_2$=(1/2, 1/2, 1/2) wave vector. We established pressure-temperature phase diagram of the $(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ compound and showed that it can belong to the general phase diagram of the $(TMTSF)_2X$ family. Application of hydrostatic pressure decreases the anion ordering transition temperature and the superconducting state is finally stabilized below 3.77 K under 7.7 kbar. Magnetoresistance measurement on the $(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ under 7.8 kbar is performed but neither the field-induced spin-density-wave state nor the rapid oscillation is observed up to 9 T.

Two La1.82Ca1.18Cu2O6+δ (2126) compounds exhibited different properties depending upon how they were synthesized. The compound prepared under high oxygen pressure showed superconductivity. But the compound prepared under low oxygen pressure did not exhibit superconductivity, and showed a metal-insulator transition. Our study on these compounds shows that a small amount of additional oxygen intercalated into the superconducting phase plays an important role for superconductivity. The Fermi surface of non-superconducting 2126 compound possesses nesting phenomena, which is the reason for the M-1 transition. On the other hand, the superconducting 2126 compound does not show Fermi surface nesting. This is because the additional oxygen removes some electrons from Cu d-orbitals, thereby bradking the Fermi surface nesting.
