Optical absorption properties of an orphous Se film due to interband electronic transitions are observed in the visible range by varying the folm thickness. Amorphous Se films were prepared by evaporation method. As the experimental results, it is found that optical energy gap is around 2.07(e V), and the optical constants depend on the film thickness, evaporation-deposition conditions, and incident photon energy.

The $CdAl_2S_4 and CdAl_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method using iodine as a transport agent. The $CdAl_2S_4 and CdAl_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$single crystals were crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure. The optical energy gap of the $CdAl_2S_4 and CdAl_2S_4 : Co^{2+}$ single crystals was found to be 3.377 eV and 2.924 eV, respectively, at 300 K. Blue emission with peaks in 456nm~466nm at 280K was observed in the $CdAl_2S_4$ single crystal. Optical absorption and emission peaks due to impurities in the $CdAl_2S_4 Co^{2+}$ single crystal were observed and described as originating from the electron transition between energy levels of the $Co^{2+} ion sited at the Td symmetry point.

D.c conductivity and optical transmittance of amorphous ($As_2Se_3$)Ag, (x =0, 2, 5, 10mol%) thin films were measured in order to find effects of Ag additives on electrical and optical properties of the films. The d.c. activation energy and the optical gap decreased with increasing Ag contents the Urbach tail was approximately unchangeable for variation of Ag contents. For Ag contents of 5mol% and less, the rate of decrease of the d.c activation energy was more rapidly than that of the optical gap with increasing Ag contents. For Ag contents more than 5mol%, the rate of decrease of the d.c activation energy and the optical gap were nearly the same each other with decreasing Ag contents. So it was appeared that the Fermi level of the films comes close to the mobility edge for Ag contents of 5mol% and less, and the mobility edge comes close the Fermi level for Ag contents more than 5mol%.

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films were prepared using chemical bath deposition (CBD), and the structural, optical and photoconductive properties were investigated. The crystal structure of CdS thin film was studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice constant of CBD CdS thin films were investigated. The dislocation density of CdS thin films initially decreases with increasing film thickness, and it is nearly constant over the thickness of 2,500 ${\AA}$. The dislocation density decreases with increasing the crystallite size. The Urbach energies of CdS thin films are obtained by fitting the optical absorption coefficient. The optical band gap of CdS thin films increases and finally saturates with increasing the lattice constant. The Urbach energy and optical band gap of the 2,900 A-thick CdS thin film prepared for 60 minutes are 0.24 eV and 2.83 eV, respectively. The activation energies of the 2,900 ${\AA}$-thick CdS thin film at low and high temperature regions were 14 meV and 31 meV, respectively. It is considered that these activation energies correspond to donor levels associated with shallow traps or surface states of CdS thin film. Also, the value of ${\gamma}$ was obtained from the light transfer characteristic of CdS thin film. The value of ${\gamma}$ for the 2,900 A-thick CdS thin film was 1 at 10 V, and it saturates with increasing the applied voltage.

BiSI, BiSI : Co, BiSeI 및 BiSeI : Co 단결정을 고순도의 성분원소와 8.6mole% 과잉의 Iodine를 투명석영관내에 넣고 진공봉입하여 합성한 ingot를 사용하여 수직 Bridgman 방법으로 성장시켰다. 성장된 단결정은 orthorhombic 구조였고, energy band 구 조는 간접전이형으로 293K에서 광학적 energy gap은 각각 1.590eV, 1.412eV, 1.282eV 및 1.249eV로 주어지며, energy gap의 온도의존성은 Varshni 방정식으로 잘 표현된다.

The optical band gap energy for $SrTiO_3$ by reduction at high temperature was 3.15 eV. The reflectivity of reduced $SrTiO_3$ single crystals showed little variation, however, the reflectivity by the reduction condition had no effect. For the phonon mode at about 790 $cm^{-1}$, a blue-shift took place upon $N_2$ reduction and the decreased. However, a red-shift took place upon a $H_2-N_2$ reduction and the increased at the same phonon mode. With decreasing temperature the dielectric constant decreased rapidly. The thermal activation energies were 0.92-1.02 eV.

To observe the optical characteristic of oxide semiconductor depending on the degree of bonding structures, SiOC, ZnO and IGZO were prepared by the RF magnetron sputter system and chemical vapor deposition. Generally, crystal ZnO, amorphous SiOC and IGZO changed the optical characteristics in according to the electro-chemical behavior due to the oxygen vacancy at an interface between different groups. Transmittance of SiOC and IGZO with amorphous structures was higher than that of ZnO with crystal structure, because of lowering the carrier concentration due to the recombination of electron and holes carriers as oxygen vacancies. Besides, the energy gap of amorphous SiOC and IGZO was higher than the energy gap of crystal ZnO. The diffusion mobility of holes is higher than the drift mobility of electrons.

CdS and $CdS:Co^{2+}$ single crystals were grown by CTR method using iodine as transport material. The grown single crystals have defect chalcopyrite structure with direct band gap. The optical energy band gap was decreased according to add of Co-impurity. We can observed the Co-impurity optical absorption peaks assigned to the $Co^{2+}$ ion sited at the $T_d$ symmetry lattice and we consider that they were attributed to the electron transitions between energy levels of ions.

The $In_2S_3\;and\;In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ thin films were grown by the spray Pyrolysis method. The thin films crystallized into tetragonal structures. The indirect energy band gap was 2.32ev for $In_2S_3\;and\;1.81eV\;for\;In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ at 298K. The direct energy band gap was 2.67ev for $In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ thin films. Impurity optical absorption peaks were observed for the $In_2S_3:Co^{2+}$ thin films. These impurity absorption peaks are assigned, based on the crystal field theory to the electron transitions between the energy levels of the $Co^{2+}$ ion sited in $T_{d}$ symmetry. The electrical conductivity($\sigma$), Hall mobility(${\mu}_H$), and carrier concentration (n) of the $In_2Se_3$ thin film were measured, and their temperature dependence was investigated.
