We have synthesized aniline oligomer composites by using heteropoly acid (H$_4$SiW$_{12}$O$_{40}$ ) as a dopant. The doping and dedoping processes of the aniline oligomer composites were investigated with the aid of UV- Vis spectra. The bands of the aniline oligomer at 572 nm weakened or disappeared, and the bands at 268, 412, and 771 nm appeared, after the aniline oligomer was doped. When the solution of the aniline oligomer doped with H$_4$SiW$_{12}$O$_{40}$ was kept at lower values of pH, the aniline oligomer could not be dedoped by dilution. The turning point of doping and dedoping occurred at pH 5.5. The band at 771 nm shifted towards longer wavelengths when the aniline oligomer composites were synthesized using acetone as the solvent. This observation indicates that the molecular chain became stretched. In addition, we also investigated the change of the electronic absorption spectra of the composites with respect to the time laid up.id up.

We have measured photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL in doped-GaAs. As increasing doping concentration, the PL spectra of n-type GaAs shift to higher energies while the PL spectra of p-type GaAs shift to lower energies than the bandgap of the undoped GaAs. The contribution of the Burstein-Moss effect overrules the band-gap narrowing in n-type GaAs, contrary to p-type GaAs. The PL rise time and decay time become shorter as increasing doping concentration. The PL rise and decay time in doped-GaAs depend on the type of majority carriers and their concentrations, which imply that the carrier-carrier interaction plays an important role in the energy relaxation processes.

Doping is a well-known method for improving electroluminescent (EL) efficiency of organic light emitting diodes. In our study, doping with 2 materials simultaneously, we could achieve improved EL efficiency. The emission layer was tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum, and the 2 dopants were N,N'-dimethyl-quinacridone (DMQA) and 10-(2-Benzothiazolyl)-2, 3, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1,1,7,7,-tetramethyl 1-1H, 5H, 11H-[1] benzopyrano [6,7,8-ij]quinolizin-11-one (C-545T). The EL intensity of co-doped device was nearly flat, it shows that co-doping technique could be a effective way to improve the EL efficiency. EL efficiency of Single-doped device based on DMQA and C-S45T were ~6.47Cd/A and ~7.45Cd/A, respectively. Co-doped device showed higher EL efficiency of ~8.30Cd/A.

Oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media has been considered as a key process for various energy applications. Many types of catalysts have been developed to reduce high overpotential in OER, such as metal alloys, metal oxides, perovskite, or spinel. Nickel oxide (NiO) has high potential to increase OER activity according to volcano plots. The exact mechanisms for OER has not been discovered, but defects such as cation or anion vacancy typically act as an active site for diverse electrochemical reactions. In this study, nitrogen was doped into NiO by using ethylenediamine for formation of Ni vacancy, and the effects of N doping on OER activity and stability was studied.

Generally InGaN/GaN green light emitting diode (LED) exhibits the low quantum efficiency (QE) due to the large lattice mismatch between InGaN and GaN. The QE of InGaN-based multiple quantum wells (MQWs) is drastically decreased when an emission wavelength shifts from blue to green wavelength, so called "green gap". The "green gap" has been explained by quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) caused by a large lattice mismatch. In order to improve the QE of green LED, undoped graded short-period InGaN/GaN superlattice (GSL) and Si-doped GSL (SiGSL) structures below the 5-period InGaN/GaN MQWs were grown on the patterned sapphire substrates. The luminescence properties of InGaN/GaN green LEDs have been investigated by using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL (TRPL) measurements. The PL intensity of SiGSL sample measured at 10 K shows stronger about 1.3 times compared to that of undoped GSL sample, and the PL peak wavelength at 10 K appears at 532 and 525 nm for SiGSL and undoped GSL, respectively. Furthermore, the PL decay of SiGSL measured at 10 K becomes faster than that of undoped GSL. The faster decay for SiGSL is attributed to the increased wavefunction overlap between electron and hole due to the screening of piezoelectric field by doped carriers. These PL and TRPL results indicate that the QE of InGaN/GaN green LED with GSL structure can be improved by Si-doping.

This paper reports doping of carbon atoms in GaN layer, which based on dimethylhydrazine (DMHy) and growth temperature. It is well known that dislocations can act as non-radiative recombination center in light emitting diode (LED). Recently, many researchers have tried to reduce the dislocation density by using various techniques such as lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) [1] and patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) [2], and etc. However, LEO and PSS techniques require additional complicated steps to make masks or patterns on the substrate. Some reports also showed insertion of carbon doped layer may have good effect on crystal quality of GaN layer [3]. Here we report the growth of GaN epitaxial layer by inserting carbon doped GaN layer into GaN epitaxial layer. GaN:C layer growth was performed in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactor, and DMHy was used as a carbon doping source. We elucidated the role of DMHy in various GaN:C growth temperature. When growth temperature of GaN decreases, the concentration of carbon increases. Hence, we also checked the carbon concentration with DMHy depending on growth temperature. Carbon concentration of conventional GaN is $1.15{\times}1016$. Carbon concentration can be achieved up to $4.68{\times}1,018$. GaN epilayer quality measured by XRD rocking curve get better with GaN:C layer insertion. FWHM of (002) was decreased from 245 arcsec to 234 arcsec and FWHM of (102) decreased from 338 arcsec to 302 arcsec. By comparing the quality of GaN:C layer inserted GaN with conventional GaN, we confirmed that GaN:C interlayer can block dislocations.

This work explored the characteristics and the photocatalytic activities of S element-doped $TiO_2$ (S-$TiO_2$) and N element-doped $TiO_2$ (N-$TiO_2$) for the decomposition of gas-phase isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at sub-ppm concentrations, using a plug-flow reactor irradiated by 8-W daylight lamp or visible light-emitting-diodes (LEDs). In addition, the generation yield of acetone during photocatalytic processes for IPA at sub-ppm levels was examined. The surface characteristics of prepared S- and N-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts were analyzed to indicate that they could be effectively activated by visible-light irradiation. Regarding both types of photocatalysts, the cleaning efficiency of IPA increased as the air flow rate (AFR) was decreased. The average cleaning efficiency determined via the S-$TiO_2$ system for the AFR of 2.0 L $min^{-1}$ was 39%, whereas it was close to 100% for the AFR of 0.1 L $min^{-1}$. Regarding the N-$TiO_2$ system, the average cleaning efficiency for the AFR of 2.0 L $min^{-1}$ was above 90%, whereas it was still close to 100% for the AFR of 0.1 L $min^{-1}$. In contrast to the cleaning efficiencies of IPA, both types of photocatalysts revealed a decreasing trend in the generation yields of acetone with decreasing the AFR. Consequently, the N-$TiO_2$ system was preferred for cleaning of sub-ppm IPA to S-$TiO_2$ system and should be operated under low AFR conditions to minimize the acetone generation. In addition, 8-W daylight lamp exhibited higher cleaning efficiency of IPA than for visible LEDs.

Display 산업의 확대로 인해 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성이 우수한 TCO (Transparent conductive oxide) 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존에는 ITO가 대부분의 분야에서 이용되었지만 In의 경제적인 단점으로 인해 새로운 대체물로써 ZnO가 떠오르고 있다. ZnO는 전형적인 n-type 반도체이며, wide band gap 물질로써 Al, Ga, B과 같은 3 족 원소를 doping 함으로써 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 최근에는 ZnO의 이온반경과 비슷한 Ga을 도핑한 Ga-doped ZnO 박막에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이는 ZnO에 Ga을 도핑함으로써 격자결함을 최소화 시키고 carrier concentration 및 hall mobility를 향상시켜 전기전도도의 향상을 이루기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 $Ga_2O_3$이 3wt% doping 된 ZnO rotating cylindrical target 을 DC magnetron sputtering 을 이용하여 2 kW의 파워와 70 kHz의 주파수를 고정하고, 증착 온도를 변화시켜 유리 기판 위에 Ga-doped ZnO 박막을 증착 하였다. 증착 시 온도가 Ga-doped ZnO 박막에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 박막 표면의 조성을 분석하였고, 결정성 및 전기적 특성의 변화를 통해 박막의 특성을 비교 평가하였다. Ga-doped ZnO 박막의 표면과 두께는 SEM (Scanning electron microscope) 분석을 통해 관찰하였고, XRD (X-ray diffractometer) 를 이용하여 결정학적 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용한 hall 측정을 통해 resistivity, carrier concentration, hall mobility를 분석하였고, UV-Vis를 이용하여 박막의 투과율을 분석하였으며, 이를 토대로 투명 전도막으로써 Ga-doped ZnO 박막의 응용 가능성을 평가하였다.
