We have investigated the effects of post annealing on iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the novel hydrothermal synthesis method with the $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. To investigate the post annealing effect, the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were annealed at different temperatures in a vacuum chamber. The morphological, structural and magnetic properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated with high resolution X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. According to the XRD and HRTEM analysis results, as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were only magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) phase with face-centered cubic structure but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ were mainly magnetite phase with trivial maghemite ($\gamma-Fe_2O_3$) phase which was induced in the post annealing treatment. The crystallinity of the iron oxide nanoparticles is enhanced by the post annealing treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles was about 5 nm and the particle shape was almost spherical. But the particle size of the post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was around 25 nm and the particle shape was spherical and irregular. The as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ did not show superparamagnetic behavior due to the increase of particle size by post annealing treatment. The saturation of magnetization of the as-synthesized nanoparticles, post annealed nanoparticles at $500^{\circ}C$, and post annealed nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was found to be 3.7 emu/g, 6.1 emu/g, and 7.5 emu/g, respectively. The much smaller saturation magnetization value than one of bulk magnetite can be attributed to spin disorder and/or spin canting, spin pinning at the nanoparticle surface.

The zinc oxide (ZnO) material as the II-VI compound semiconductor is useful in various fields of device applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells and gas sensors due to its wide direct band gap of 3.37eV and high exciton binding energy of 60meV at room temperature. In this study, the ZnO nanorods were deposited onto homogenous buffer layer/Si(100) substrates by a hydrothermal synthesis. The Effects of the buffer layer annealing and post annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods grown by a hydrothermal synthesis were investigated. For the buffer layer annealing case, the annealed buffer layer surface became rougher with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$, while it was smoothed with more increasing of annealing temperature due to the evaporation of buffer layer. It was found that the roughest surface of buffer layer improved the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods. For the post annealing case, the hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods were annealed with various temperatures ranging from 450 to $900^{\circ}C$. Similarly in the buffer layer annealing case, the post annealing enhanced the properties of ZnO nanorods with increasing of annealing temperature up to $750^{\circ}C$. However, it was degraded with further increasing of annealing temperature due to the violent movement of atoms and evaporation. Finally, the buffer layer annealing and post annealing treatment could efficiently improve the properties of hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods. The morphology and structural properties of ZnO nanorods grown by the hydrothermal synthesis were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical properties were also analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement.

Structural and electrical properties of (Ba, Sr)TiO\ulcorner (BST) thin films prepared by pulsed laser depositon were investigated to verify the influences of post-annealing in oxygen ambient. Increase of post-anneal-ing time in oxygen ambient resulted in not only grain growth but also improvement of crystallinity of BST films. Although the post-annealing in oxygen ambient resulted in the increase of surface roughness, it assisted the dielectric constant increase by eliminating oxygen vacancies. The electrical property enhancement including high dielectric constant and low leakage current density was associated with introducing high pressure of oxygen during the post-annealing.

ZnO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique using an Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 266nm. Before post-annealing treatment in the oxygen ambient, the experiment of the deposition of ZnO thin films has been performed for substrate temperatures in the range of $300\~450^{\circ}C$ and oxygen gas flow rate of $100\~700\;sccm$. In order to investigate the effect of post-annealing treatment of ZnO thin films, films have been annealed at various temperatures after deposition. After post-annealing treatment in the oxygen ambient, the structural properties of ZnO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the optical properties of the ZnO were characterized by photoluminescence(PL).

Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors were fabricated using the MOD-derived $SrBi_{2x}Ta_2O_9$ (SBT) films and their ferroelectic and leakage current characteristics were investigated with post annealing at 400~$800^{\circ}C$. Although the MOD-derived SBT film exhibited the hysteresis loop typical for the leaky film, the well-saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop could be obtained by post annealing the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors at $550^{\circ}C$~$800^{\circ}C$. The remanent polarization $2P_r$ of the SBT film exhibited a maximum value of 9.72$\mu\textrm{cm}^2$ with post annealing at $600^{\circ}C$, and then decreased with increasing the post annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$. The MOD-derived SBT films exhibited the high leakage current density of ~$10^{-3} \textrm{A/cm}^2$ at 75kV/cm. With post annealing the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitor at 600~$800^{\circ}C$, however, the leakage current density decreased remarkably to less than $10^{-6}\textrm{A/cm}^2$ at 75kV/cm.

본 연구에서는 Poly (3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT):[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)과 GaN를 이용하여 유무기 하이브리드 광전변환소자를 제작함에 있어서, P3HT:PCBM 활성층의 열처리가 소자의 단락전류밀도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았으며 이때 유기물의 농도와 혼합비율을 달리 하였다. 유기물 각각의 층을 코팅하여 층을 만들 때마다 열처리 한 경우, 즉 pre-annealing샘플과 pre-annealing 과정을 거쳐 제작된 소자 전체를 한 번 더 열처리하여 즉 post-annealing까지 행한 샘플을 비교하였다. 그 결과 post-annealing한 샘플이 더 높은 단락전류밀도의 값을 가졌고 이때 P3HT와 PCBM은 1wt%와 1:1 혼합비율에서 좋은 열처리 효과를 나타내었다.

The effects of deposition temperature and post annealing process of ferroelectric PbZr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/O$_3$(PZT) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. The PZT thin films were deposited at 400, 450, 500, and 550$^{\circ}C$, with/without post annealing at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The PZT thin films deposited above 500$^{\circ}C$ without post annealing were crystallized into peroveskite phase, but the PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ had pyrochlore phase. The PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ with post annealing also crystallized into pure perovskite. Compared to the PZT thin films which were deposited at 450$^{\circ}C$ and post annealed, the films deposited at 550$^{\circ}C$ have a columnar microstructure and high remnant polarization 28 (${\mu}$C/cm$^2$). With in-situ annealing at oxygen ambient, the PZT thin films reduced oxygen vacancies and increased retained polarization.

This paper presents the resonance characteristics of the ZnO-based FBAR devices with multilayered Bragg reflectors with Cr adhesion layer inserted between $SiO_2$ and W layers. Due to the post- annealing, the return loss ($S_{11}$) and series/parallel quality factor are significantly improved when compared with the non-post annealing. This post-annealing method seems to be a very efficient way to improve the resonance characteristics of FBAR devices.

Ga doped ZnO thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrate without intentional substrate heating and then the effect of post deposition annealing temperature on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes in a vacuum of $1{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr and the vacuum annealing temperatures were 150 and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, GZO films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO (002) diffraction peak in the XRD pattern and the optical transmittance in a visible wave region was also increased, while the electrical sheet resistance was decreased. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that GZO films which vacuum annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering piezoelectric actuator, $Pb_{0.985}Bi_{0.01}(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.13}(Zr_{0.50},Ti_{0.50})_{0.84}$ (PMW-PNN-PZT) ceramic systems were fabricated using $CaCO_3-Li_2CO_3$, sintering aid through a post-annealing process. The sinterability of PMW-PNN-PZT ceranics was remarkably enhanced by liquid phase sintering of $CaCO_3$ and $Li_2CO_3$. But, it was confimed form the X-ray diffraction pattern that the secondary phase along grain boundaries, deteriorated the piezoelectric properties. The secondary phase along grain boundaries was significantly removed by annealing after sintering. The 0.2wt% $Li_2CO_3$-0.25wt% $CaCO_3$-added PMW-PNN-PZT ceramics post-annealed at 900$^{\circ}C$ for 90min exhibited the excellent electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) of 63.3% and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) of 452pC/N, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectricactuatorapplication.
