This study examined the morphological changes in lithium surface immersed in 1mol $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6 $ dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) containing different 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) concentrations as a co-solvent. A passivation film was formed on the surface of lithium metal by electrolyte decomposition. The passivation film formation reactions were significantly affected by the amount of co-solvent, DME, in electrolyte solution. A stable film was obtained from the 1 M $LiPF_6 $ / PC:DME (67:33) solution in which lithium electrode showed good electrochemical performances. Atomic force microscope (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that there were no direct correlations between changes in the surface morphology of lithium metal and the resistance behavior of its passivation film.

Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve device performance of organic spintronic devices by utilizing an artificially grown MgO(001) thin layer.

Carbonaceous thin films were prepared from acetylene and argon gases by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (Plasma CVD) at 873 K. The carbonaceous thin films were characterized by mainly Raman spectroscopy, and their electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge measurements in propylene carbonate (PC) solution. Raman spectra showed that crystallinity of carbonaceous thin films is correlated by the applied RF power. The difference of the applied RF power also affected on the results of cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge measurements. In PC solution, intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium ion can occur as well as in the mixed solution of EC and DEC.

Transesterification between poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) and bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. When the blend of PTT/PC is annealed at higher temperatures, the samples do not show any melting peak at an initial stage, indicating the samples completely lose their crystallinity due to the formation of random copolymers. However, when the random copolymer is annealed at temperatures lower than the melting temperature of PTT, a melting peak is observed, indicating that the random copolymers are sequentially reordered. The melting point and the heat of fusion of crystals formed from the crystallization-induced sequential reordering depend upon the annealing temperature and time. The average sequence length determined from NMR is increased as the blocks are regenerated.

Film thickness monitoring with plasma impedance monitoring (PIM) is demonstrated for small area $SiO_2$ RF plasma etching processes in this work. The chamber conditions were monitored by the impedance signal variation from the I-V monitoring system. Moreover, modified principal component analysis (mPCA) was applied to estimate the $SiO_2$ film thickness. For verification, the PIM was compared with optical emission spectroscopy (OES) signals which are widely used in the semiconductor industry. The results indicated that film thickness can be estimated by 1st principal component (PC) and 2nd PC. Film thickness monitoring of small area $SiO_2$ etching was successfully demonstrated with RF plasma harmonic impedance monitoring and mPCA. We believe that this technique can be potentially applied to plasma etching processes as a sensitive process monitoring tool.

Carbonate-type organic electrolytes were prepared using propylene carbonate (PC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a solvent, quaternary ammonium salts, and by adding different contents of 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($EMImBF_4$). Cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry were performed to analyze conducting behaviors. The surface characterizations were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From the experimental results, increasing the $EMImBF_4$ content increased the ionic conductivity and reduced bulk resistance and interfacial resistance. In particular, after adding 15 vol% $EMImBF_4$ in 0.2 M $SBPBF_4$ PC/DMC electrolyte, the organic electrolyte showed superior capacitance and interfacial resistance. However, when $EMImBF_4$ content exceeded 15 vol%, the capacitance was saturated and the voltage range decreased.

In this research, double-layered photoconductor consist of the carrier generation layer(CGL) of ${\varepsilon}$ type copper phthalocyanine thin film by an aqueous coating method and the carrier transport layer(CGL) of polyvinyl carbazol(PVK) by spin coating. We inverstigated effect of the surfactant solution and cathod electrolysis to the crystal type of ${\varepsilon}$-CuPc in CGL with TEM, SEM and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and studied the mechanism of an aqueous coating for the preparation of CGL. The effect of the washing of CGL about the electrophotographic characteristics of the ${\varepsilon}$-CUPC/PVK double-layered photoconductors is studied also.

The synthesis and characterization of the platinum heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [NC5H4CRNNC(S)NHR'PtCl] (R=H, R'=CH3(1); R=CH3, R'=CH3(2); R=CH3, R=H(3)) and diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [Ph2PC6H4CHNNC(S)NHRPtCl] (R=CH3(5); R=iC3H7(6); R=Ph(7)) are described. Compounds 1-3 were prepared by reaction of Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 with 2-acetylpyridine-4-alkylthiosemicarbazone in the presence of NEt3. Compounds 5-7 were prepared using Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 in toluene with diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde alkylthiosemicarbazone. The compounds have been characterized by microanalysis, NMR (1H, 13C, 31P) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals that compound 5 is a mononuclear platinum compound with P,N,S-coordination mode.

Surface of PC (Polycarbonate) and PES (Polyethersulphone) treated by plasma modification with rf power from 50 W to 200 W substrates in Ar (3 sccm), $O_2$ (12 sccm) atmosphere. From the results of modified substrates in XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), the ratio of oxide containing bond increased with rf power. As the rf power was 200 W, the contact angle was the lowest value of 14.09 degree. And the datum from AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), rms roughness value of PES and PC substrates increased with rf power. We could deposit $Ta_2O_5$ with good adhesion on plasma treated PES and PC substrates using by in-situ rf magnetron sputter.

The barrier and optical properties of AlO$_{x}$ thin films on polycarbonate deposited by Reactive Ion Beam Sputtering (RIBS) were investigated at different oxygen partial pressure. We measured the deposition rate of AlO$_{x}$ thin films. As the oxygen partial pres-sure increased, the deposition rate increased then decreased. The changes of deposition rate are associated with the properties of deposited films. The properties of deposited AlO$_{x}$ thin films were studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scan-ning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Optimum deposition parameters were found for fabricat-ing aluminum oxide thin films with high optical transparency for visible light and low Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR). The optical transmittance of AlO$_{x}$ thin film deposited on polycarbonate (PC) showed the same value of bare PC.bare PC.
