본 논문은 InN와 GaN를 교대로 증착하는 교번성장법을 이용해 제작한 4주기 InN/GaN 박막의 구조적, 광학적, 특성을 X-ray diffraction, Atomic force microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy과 저온 Photoluminescence (PL) 장비를 사용하여 분석한 결과를 보고한다. Fig. 1은 4주기 InN/GaN박막의 XRD 스펙트럼으로 GaN(0002)와 InN(0002)의 회절 신호를 관찰할 수 있다. 그러나 두 피크뿐만 아니라 InN와 GaN 사이에 구분이 되지 않은 추가 신호를 확인할 수 있다. 추가신호는 InN와 GaN 계면에서 발생하는 상호확산 확률로서 해석할 수 있다. Fig. 2는 다양한 조건에서 성장한 InN/GaN 시료의 PL스펙트럼으로 방출 파장은 각각 1,380, 1,290, 1,280, 1,271, 1,246 nm로 측정되었다. 성장 조건 변화에 따른 발광특성 변화를 박막에서 III족 원자 특히, In 원자의 성장 거동에 따른 구속준위(Localized states) 변화로 논의할 예정이다.

We have investigated photoluminescence(PL) spectra of four $In_xGa_{1-x}N(x=0.15)/GaN$ multiple quantum well(MQW) structures with different well widths in order to study a phenomenon on crystal phase separation. The asymmetic behavior of PL spectra becomes stronger with increase of the well width from 1.5 nm to 6.0 nm, which indicates dual-peak nature. Analyzing the dual-peak fit PL spectra, we have observed that the intensity of low-energy shoulder peak rapidly becomes stronger, compared to that of high-energy peak corresponding to a transition in InGaN QW. It suggests that InGaN QW has two phases with tiny different In compositions, and that In-rich(InN-like) phase forms more and more relatively than stoichiometric InGaN(x=0.15) phase by the InN phase separation mechanism as the QW width increases. PL spectrum of 6.0-nm sample shows an additional peak at low-energy lesion(${\sim}2.0\;eV$) whose energy position is almost the same as a defect band of yellow luminescence frequently observed in GaN epilayers. It may be due to a defect resulted from In deficiency formed with development of the phase separation.

CuGaSe2 단결정을 고순도(99.9999%)의 Cu, Se 원소를 화학조성비로 칭량한 후 Se을 3mole% 과잉으로 첨가하여 합성된 ingot를 사용하여 iodine(99.9999%)을 수송매체로 한 화학수송법으로 성장시켰다. 성장된 단결정은 검정색을 띠고 있었으며, 10K에서 optical energy gap이 1.755eV로 주어졌다. Ar-ion laser로 여기시켜 측정한 photoluminescence(PL) 스펙트럼으로부터 1.667eV, 1.085eV, 1.025eV에 위치한 세 개의 PL peak를 얻었다. Thermally stimulated current(TSC) 측정에서 0.660eV, 0.720eV의 deep donor level을 관측하였으며, PL peak intensity의 thermal quenching으로 구한 activation energy는 0.010eV이었다. CuGaSe2 단결정에서 PL mechanism은 edge emission 및 donor-acceptor pair recombination임을 규명했다.

본 연구에서는 열벽성장법에 의해 ZnSe 에피막을 GaAs 기판에 성장하고 double crystal x-ray diffractometer와 Photoluminescence (PL) 등의 장치를 이용하여 구조족, 광학 적 특성을 연구하였다. x-선 반치폭과 PL피크강도로부터 최적의 기판온도가 34$0^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기판온도, 열벽부온도, 원료부온도, 성장시간등의 성장조건이 표면거칠기 성 장률, x-선 반치폭, PL 피크강도 등에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 최적 성장조건하 에성장된 ZnSe 에피막의 x-선 반치폭은 149sec로 나타났는데 이는 HWE 성장법으로 성장 된 ZnSe 에피막에 대하여 보고된 수치 중 가장낮은 값이다. PL 스펙트럼에서 I2 피크와 DAP 피크의 강도는 높고, SA 피크의 강도는 낮다는 사실로부터 본 연구에서 성장된 ZnSe 에피막의 결정질이 매우 우수함을 확인하였다.

2D spectrofluorometer produces many spectral data during fermentation processes. The fluorescence spectra are analyzed using chemometric methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square regression (PLS). Analysis of the spectral data by PCA results in scores and loadings that are visualized in score-loading plots and used to monitor a few fermentation processes by S. cerevisae and recombinant E. coli. Two chemometric models were established to analyze the correlation between fluorescence spectra and process variables using PCR and PLS, and PLS was found to show slightly better calibration and prediction performance than PCR.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, AgGaS₂ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were 590℃ and 440℃, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the AgGaS₂ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, E/sub g/(T) = 2.7284 eV - (8.695×10/sup -4/ eV/K)T²/(T + 332 K). After the as-grown AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, S-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of V/sub Ag/, V/sub s/, Ag/sub int/, and S/sub int/ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in AgGaS₂/GaAs crystal thin films did not form the native defects because Ga in AgGaS₂ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.9501eV-(8.79x10^{-4}eV/K)T^2(T+250K)$. After the as-grown $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},\;V_{Se},\;Ag_{int},\;and\;Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $AgGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

In this study we have investigated cathodoluminescence (CL) and structural properties of thin film $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ oxide phosphor by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL), and cathodoluminescence. PL emission peaked at 506 nm was observed from the $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor target and it was attributed to the $^4T_1-^6A_1$ transition in $Mn^{2+}$ ion. The color coordinates of the emission were x = 0.09 and y = 0.67. The $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ films showed the excitation spectrum peaked at 294 nm by $Mn^{2+}$ ion absorption. It was found that the higher intensity of CL emission at 505 nm appears to result from the denser and closely-packed structure in $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ phosphor films deposited at lower pressures. The CL intensity did not show any systematic dependence on film surface roughness.

Thin transparent Cu films in the thickness range of 10 ~ 40 nm are deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering on porous silicon (PS) anodized on p-type silicon in dark. Microstructural features of the Cu films are investigated using SEM, AFM and XRD techniques. The RMS roughness of the Cu films is found to be around 1.47 nm and the grain growth is columnar with a (111) preferred orientation and follows the Volmer-Weber mode. The photoluminescence studies showed that a broad luminiscence peak of PS near the blue-green region gets blue shifted (~0.05 eV) with a small reduction in intensity and therefore, Cu-related PL quenching is absent. The FTIR absorption spectra on the PS/Cu structure revealed no major change of the native PS peaks but only a reduction in the relative intensity. The I-V characteristic curves further establish the Schottky nature of the diode with an ideality factor of 2.77 and a barrier height of 0.678 eV. An electroluminiscence (EL) signal of small intensity could be detected for the above diode.
