최근까지 유기박막의 제조에 있어서 진공 증착 혹은 스핀코팅법의 대체방법으로 펄스 레이져 증착법 (PLD: Pulsed laser deposition)에 많은 관심이 되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 유기발광소자(OLED)의 제작을 위해 $Alq_3$(aluminato-tris-8-hydroxyquinolate)와 TPD의 유기물을 질소($N_2$)분위기 상태에서 KrF($\lambda$=278 nm) 엑시머 레이저를 이용한 PLD법으로 증착하였고, 증착공정변화에 따른 증착된 박막의 분자 및 광학적 특성의 효과를 PL과 FT-IR등을 이용하여 평가하였다.

$TiO_2$ is a wide band-gap semiconductor (3.4 eV) and can only absorb about 5% of sun light in the ultraviolet light region, which largely limits its practical applications because of the lower utility of sun light and quantum yield. In order to move the absorption edge of $TiO_2$ films to visible spectrum range, we have made the impurity level within a band-gap of $TiO_2$ thin film by introduction of oxygen vacancy. Oxygen-defected $TiO_2$ thin film have prepared by reactive sputtering with the partial pressure of Ar:$O_2$=10:90~99.33:0.66 ratio. As a result, we could have the impurity level of about 2.75 eV on condition that oxygen partial pressure is below 7%.

Well-dispersed Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles @polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were synthesized by an easily controlled, template-free method as a photo-catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue. Their structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties have been studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with rapid energy dispersive analysis of X-ray, photoluminescence, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The characterization procedures revealed that the obtained material is PAN nanofibers decorated by Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue investigated in an aqueous solution under irradiation showed 99% degradation of the dye within 75 min. Finally, the antibacterial performance of Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles @PAN composite nanofibers was experimentally verified by the destruction of Escherichia coli. These results suggest that the developed inexpensive and functional nanomaterials can serve as a non-precious catalyst for environmental applications.

Synthesizing one-dimensional nanostructures of oxide semiconductors is a promising approach to fabricate highefficiency photoelectrodes for hydrogen production from photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, vertically aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays are successfully synthesized on fluorine-doped-tin-oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate via seed-mediated hydrothermal synthesis method with the use of a ZnO nanoparticle seed layer, which is formed by thermally oxidizing a sputtered Zn metal thin film. The structural, optical and PEC properties of the ZnO nanorod arrays synthesized at varying levels of Zn sputtering power are examined to reveal that the optimum ZnO nanorod array can be obtained at a sputtering power of 20 W. The photocurrent density and the optimal photocurrent conversion efficiency obtained for the optimum ZnO nanorod array photoanode are 0.13 mA/㎠ and 0.49 %, respectively, at a potential of 0.85 V vs. RHE. These results provide a promising avenue to fabricating earth-abundant ZnO-based photoanodes for PEC water oxidation using facile hydrothermal synthesis.

The new approach to buffer layer design for CIGS solar cells that permitted to reduce the buffer absorption losses in the short wavelength range and to overcome the disadvantages inherent to Cd-free CIGS solar cells was proposed. A chemical bath deposition method has been used to produce a high duality buffer layer that comprises thin film of CdS and Zn-based film. The double layer was grown on either ITO or CIGS substrates and its morphological, structural and optical properties were characterized. The Zn-based film was described as the ternary compound $ZnS_x(OH)_y$. The composition of the $ZnS_x(OH)_y$ layer was not uniform throughout its thickness. $ZnS_x(OH)_y$/CdS/substrate region was a highly intermixed region with gradually changing composition. The short wavelength cut-off of double layer was shifted to shorter wavelength (400nm) compared to that (520 nm) for the standard CdS by optimization of the double buffer design. The results show the way to improve the light energy collection efficiency of the nearly cadmium-free CIGS-based solar cells.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 ZnO 박 막을 실리콘 기판과 Corning 7059유리 기판위에 증착시켜 증착변수에 따른 ZnO 박막의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 1 전력을 증가시킴에 따라 c축 배향성이 뛰어난 ZnO 박막을 얻을 수 있었으며, 2가 34.4인 피크의 X·ray rocking curve표준 편차 값은 6.8-7.2˚사이에 있었다. 유리 기판위에 증착된 ZnO 박막은 가시광선 영역에서 실험조건에 관계없이 80% 이상의 높은 투광도를 갖고 있었다. ZnO박막의 비저항 값은 증착 변수인 rf전력과 Ar압력에 의해 심한 영향을 받고 있었으며 3×102-2×109 Ω·cm의 비저항 영역을 갖고 있었다.

We investigated the effects of a high density $O_2$ plasma treatment on the structural and electrical properties of Ga-, B- codoped ZnO (GZOB) films. The GZOB films were deposited on polymer substrate without substrate heating by DC magnetron sputtering. Prior to the GZOB film growth, we treated a polymer substrate with highly dense inductively coupled oxygen plasma. The optical transmittance of the GZOB film, about 80 %, was maintained regardless of the plasma pre-treatment. The resistivity of the GZOB film on PC substrate decreased from 9.08 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$ ${\Omega}-cm$ without an $O_2$ plasma pre-treatment to 2.12 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$ ${\Omega}-cm$ with an $O_2$ plasma pre-treatment. And PES substrate decreased from 1.14 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$ ${\Omega}-cm$ without an $O_2$ plasma pre-treatment to 6.13 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$ ${\Omega}-cm$ with an $O_2$ plasma pre-treatment.

Zinc oxysulfide nanocrystals (ZnOS NCs) were synthesized by forming ZnS phase on a ZnO matrix. ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) with a diameter of 10 nm were synthesized by forced hydrolysis in an organic solvent. As-synthesized ZnO NCs aggregated with each other due to the high surface energy. As acetic acid (AA) was added into the milky suspension of the aggregated ZnO NCs, transparent solution of well dispersed ZnO NCs formed. Finally ZnOS NCs were formed by adding thioacetic acid (TAA) to the transparent solution. The effect of recrystallization on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnOS NCs were studied. The results of UV-vis absorption confirmed the band gap tunability caused by increasing the curing temperature of ZnOS thin films. This may have originated from the larger effective size due to the recrystallization of zinc sulfide (ZnS). From XRD result we identified that ZnOS thin films have a zinc blende crystal structure of ZnS without wurtzite ZnO structure. This is probably due to the small amount of ZnO phases. These assertions were verified through EDS of FE-SEM, XPS and EDS mapping of HR-TEM results; we clearly proved that ZnOS were comprised of ZnS and ZnO phases.

$SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Ce_x{^{3+}}$,$Eu_{0.01}{^{2+}}$ phosphors were synthesized through a combustion process and their optical properties were investigated using time-resolved photoluminescence. A PL spectrum showed two dominant peaks which appeared at 300 and 410 nm. It is seen that, as the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration increases, the intensity of 300 nm decreases and the intensity of 410 nm increases. This behavior has been explained by two independent energy transfer mechanism. The first energy transfer occurs from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Eu^{3+}$ ion. The second energy transfer takes place from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Ce^{3+}-O_{ME}$ complex created in the magnetoplumbite structural host materials. The blue emitting 410 nm peak has been explained by both energy transfer mechanisms.
