ZnS:Mn yellow phosphors doped with Cu for white light emitting diodes were synthesized by solid state reaction method. Photoluminescence excitation spectra originated from $Mn^{2+}$ were ranged from 450 nm to 500 nm. The yellow emission at around 580 nm was associated with $^4T_1{\rightarrow}^6A_1$ transition of $Mn^{2+}$ ions in ZnS:Mn,Cu phosphors. The highest photoluminescence intensity of the phosphors under 405 nm excitation was obtained at Cu concentration of 0.02 mol%.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) micro/nanocrystals are grown via thermal evaporation of ZnO powder mixed with Mn powder, which is used as a reducing agent. The ZnO/Mn powder mixture produces ZnO micro/nanocrystals with diverse morphologies such as rods, wires, belts, and spherical shapes. Rod-shaped ZnO micro/nanocrystals, which have an average diameter of 360 nm and an average length of about $12{\mu}m$, are fabricated at a temperature as low as $800^{\circ}C$ due to the reducibility of Mn. Wire-and belt-like ZnO micro/nanocrystals with length of $3{\mu}m$ are formed at $900^{\circ}C$ and $1,000^{\circ}C$. When the growth temperature is $1,100^{\circ}C$, spherical shaped ZnO crystals having a diameter of 150 nm are synthesized. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that ZnO had hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. A strong ultraviolet emission peak and a weak visible emission band are observed in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the rod- and wire-shaped ZnO crystals, while visible emission is detected for the spherical shaped ZnO crystals.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the EM wave absorber consists of Sendust and Mn-Zn ferrite for suppressing EM wave noise from PCB in ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band of 2.4 GHz. We fabricated several samples in different ratios of Sendust to Mn-Zn ferrite with CPE(Chlorinated Ploy-ethylene) as binder and confirmed that optimum composition ratio of absorbing materials was Sendust. Mn-Zn ferrite : CPE=70:5:20 wt.%. The absorbing abilities were simulated according to different thickness of EM wave absorber as the function of material constants calculated by measured data. Measured absorption ability was analyzed and compared with simulated result. The simulated result agree well with the measured ones. As a result, the developed EM wave absorber with thickness of 0.85 mm has absorption ability of 5.4 dB at 2.4 GHz and over 3 dB in frequency rage of 1.4$\sim$4.1 GHz.

Mn-Zn ferrite single crystals show some fluctuations in composition along the direction of growth by the conventional Bridgman method. The single crystal with a uniform composition was obtained by maintaining the liquid composition content. For example, two batches of powder were prepared : one is consisted of 52 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 30 mol% of MnO, and 18 mol% Zn(Composition A), and the other 53 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 28.5 mol% of MnO, and 18.5 mol% ZnO(Composition B). Crack-free single crystals with the uniform composition B were grown in a size of 60mm diameter, 300mm long by melting the pellets of composition A and followed by supplying the composition B as tablets. Initial permeabilities were obtained above 600 at 5 MHz in the region of 30~270 mm along the direction of growth.

Water-dispersible ZnS:Mn nanocrystals were synthesized by capping the surface of the nanocrystal with O-(2-Aminoethyl)polyethylene glycol (PEG-$NH_2$, Mw = 10,000 g/mol) and O-(2-Carboxyethyl)polyethylene glycol (PEG-COOH, Mw = 10,000 g/mol) molecules. The modified PEG capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystal powders were thoroughly characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, EDXS, ICP-AES and FT-IR spectroscopy. The optical properties were also measured by UV/Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The PL spectra showed broad emission peaks at 600 nm with similar PL efficiencies of 7.68% (ZnS:Mn-PEG-NH2) and 9.18% (ZnS:Mn-PEG-COOH) respectively. The measured average particle sizes for the modified PEG capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals by HR-TEM images were 5.6 nm (ZnS:Mn-PEG-NH2) and 6.4 nm (ZnS:Mn-PEG-COOH), which were also supported by Debye-Scherrer calculations. In addition, biological toxicity effects of the nanocrystals over the growth of wild type E. coli were investigated. They showed no biological toxicity to E. coli until very high concentration dosage of 1 mg/mL of the both nanocrystal samples.

$Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ phosphor particles were prepared by a flame spray pyrolysis method. It has been generally known that the high-temperature flame enables fast drying and decomposition of droplets. In the present investigation, the morphology and luminescent property of $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ phosphor were controlled in a severe flame preparation condition. The particle formation in the flame spray pyrolysis process was achieved by the droplet-to-particle conversion without any evaporation of precursors, which made it possible to obtain spherical $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles of a pure phase from a droplet. Using colloidal solutions wherein dispersed nano-sized silica particles were adopted as a silicon precursor. $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles with spherical shape and filled morphology were prepared and the spherical morphology was maintained even after the high-temperature heat treatment, which is necessary to increase the photoluminescence intensity. The $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles with spherical shape, which were prepared by the flame spray pyrolysis and posttreated at $1150^{\circ}C$, showed good luminescent characteristics under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation.

Mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals were synthesized and their physical characteristics were examined by XRD, HR-TEM, EDXS, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The optical properties of the MPA capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals dispersed in aqueous solution were also measured by UV/Vis and solution photoluminescence (PL) spectra, which showed a broad emission peak around 598 nm (orange light emissions) with calculated relative PL efficiency of 5.2%. Comparative toxicity evaluation of the uncoordinated ligands, MAA and MPA, with the corresponding ZnS:Mn nanocrystals revealed that the original ligands significantly suppressed the growth of wild type E. coli whereas the ligandcapped nanocrystals did not show significant toxic effects. The reduced cytotoxicity of the conjugated ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was also observed in NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts. These results imply that potential toxicities of the capping ligands can be neutralized on ZnS:Mn surface.

.고상반응법 (solid state reaction)합성된 ZnS:Mn,Cu,Cl 형광체는 약 $20^{\sim}25{\mu}m$ 의 구형이고, Cubic/hexagonal 구조를 보였다. Electroluminescent device(ELD)는 실크 스크린된 형광층(ZnS:Mn,Cu,Cl)/유전체층 ($BaTiO_3$)으로 구성되었으며, 각층은 $30^{\sim}50{\mu}m,\;50^{\sim}60{\mu}m$ 정도로 도포 하였다. 100 V-400 Hz 의 구동조건에서, ELD 의 백색 발광은 450 nm, 480 nm 픽에서 각각 $Cl_s{\to}Cu^{+}\;_{Zn},\;Cl_s{\to}Cu^{2+}\;_{Zn}$ 전이에 의해 중첩된 청색, 녹색 밴드의 발광과, 580 nm 픽에서 Mn 의 $^{4}T_1{\to}^{6}A_1$ 전이에 의한 황색 밴드의 발광으로 이루어진다. Cu 농도의 증가에 따라 450 nm 의 발광 밴드의 휘도는 감소하며 580 nm 의 발광 밴드의 휘도가 증가하였고 발광 휘도가 향상되었다. 즉, 색온도가 높은 cold white(10000 K)에서 색온도가 낮은 Warm white(3000 K) 로 변한다. 이것은 450 nm 의 발광 밴드가 580 nm 의 발광 밴드에 흡수되는 에너지 전이 (Energy transfer) 현상에 기인한다. ZnS:Mn,Cu,Cl 의 Mn 1.5 wt %, Cu 2.5 wt.% 에서 최적 발광 휘도를 보이며, 100 V-400 Hz 에서 약 $12cd/cm^2$이였다.
