  • CuCl nanocrystallites dispersed nonlinear optical silica and borosilicate glasses were fabricated by sol-gel process. CuCl powder was dissolved in TEOS(Si(OC2H5)4) and TMB((CH3O)3B), precursors of silica and borosilicate glasses, with ethanol, water and HCl, and precipitated through the heat treatment in the matrix glass. The optical properties of CuCl doped glasses were measured using the spectrophotometer at room temperature and low temperature(77K); Z1, 2 and Z3 exciton peaks from the absorption spectra, were observed at about 370 nm and 380 nm, respectively. The average radius of nanocrystallites, calculated from the blue shift of Z3 excitons, was measured according to annealing temperature and time. The precipitation temperature of CuCl nanocrystallites was decreased when boron was added to silica glass. Increase of annealing temperature and time made average radius of nanocrystallites saturated about 2 nm.

  • 반도체 나노결정은 양자구속효과(quantum confinement effect)에 의한 광학적인 특성을 갖기 때문에 광전자공학(optoelectronic), 광전지(photovoltaic)분야에 응용하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고순도의 CdTe 나노결정을 1-thioglycerol 표면 완화제(surface stabilizer)로 사용하여 수용액 상태로 합성하였다. 모든 실험은 $N_2$ 분위기의 삼각플라스크에서 실험하였다. Cadmium 소오스로는 Cd(CIO$_4$)$_2$.6$H_2O$(Cadmium perchlorate hydrate-Aldrich)를 사용하였고 Tellurium 소오스로는 A1$_2$Te$_3$(Aluminum telluride-CERAC)와 H$_2$SO$_4$가 반응하여 H$_2$Te gas가 주입되도록 하였다. 합성된 CdTe 나노결정은 core-shell 형태로 존재하며 결정크기에 따른 특성분석을 위해서 High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM), Photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-vis absorption spectra 분석을 하였다 또한 CdTe 나노결정을 나노와이어로 제작하여 CdTe 나노결정을 이용한 태양전지 제작에 응용하고자 한다.

  • We investigated the light-emitting performances of blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, known as PHOLEDs, by incorporating an N,N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzen interlayer between the hole transporting layer and emitting layer (EML). We found that the effects of the introduced interlayer for triplet exciton confinement and hole/electron balance in the EML were exceptionally dependent on the host materials: 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole, 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-ditrityl-9H-carbazole, and 4,4'-bis-triphenylsilanyl-biphenyl. When an appropriate interlayer and host material were combined, the peak external quantum efficiency was greatly enhanced by over 21 times from 0.79% to 17.1%. Studies on the recombination zone using a series of host materials were also conducted.

  • Hydrogen passivation of Si nanocrystals identifies luminescence mechanism indirectly. Si nanocrystallites thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser After deposition, Si nanocrystallites thin films have been annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$ and 760$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient, respectively. Hydrogen passivation was subsequently performed at 500$^{\circ}C$ in forming gas (95 % N$_2$ + 5 % H$_2$) for an 1 hour. We report the photoluminescnece(PL) property of Si thin films by the hydrogen passivation. The luminescence mechanism of Si nanocrystallites has also been investigated.

We report the PL properties of Si thin films depending on the variation of the annealing temperature.

  • Efficient deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes were demonstrated using 4,4'-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1'-biphenyl doped in double-emission layers (D-EMLs). The D-EML system, which consists of 2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene and 1,4-(dinaphthalen-2-yl)-naphthalene as blue hosts, was employed to broaden the recombination zone and to ensure the good confinement of the holes and electrons. The optimized device showed a peak current efficiency of 4.47 cd/A, a peak external quantum efficiency of 4.09%, and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.16, 0.10).

  • The variation of photoluminescence(PL) properties of Si thin films was investigated by changing deposition temperatures, Si-rich silicon oxide films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique using a Nd:YAG laser. During deposition, the substrates were kept at the temperature range of room temperature(RT) to $400^{\circ}C$. After deposition, samples were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient, Strong Blue PL has been observed on RT-deposited Si nanocrystallites. When the deposition temperature was increased over $100^{\circ}C$, PL intensities abruptly decreased. The experimental results show the growing mechanism of Si nanocrystallites by PLD.

  • ZnS doped borosilicate glass for nonlinear optical application was prepared by melting and precipitation process. The optical band gap of the precipitated ZnS particles ranged from 3.83 to 3.96 eV compared with the bulk ZnS energy gap of 3.53 eV. This result was interpreted in terms of a quantum confinement effect due to small crystal size. ZnS partilcle size estimated by effective mass approximation ranged from about 39 to 83 $\AA$ It increased wtih the increase of heat tratment time and temperature.

  • Si nanocrystallites thin films have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition using a Nd:YAG laser. After deposition, samples were annealed at the temperature range of 400 to $800^{\circ}C$. Hydrogen passivation was then performed in the forming gas ($95%N_{2}+5%H_{2}$) at $500^{\circ}C$. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence has been observed at room temperature on nitrogen ambient-annealed Si nanocrystallites. As a result of photoluminescence spectra and infrared absorption spectra, we conclude that the violet-indigo PL efficiency is related with oxygen vacancy in the $SiO_x$(x= 1.6-1.8) matrix.

  • We proposed a structure for a 1.55 ㎛ strained separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) multi- quantum well (MQW) superluminescent diode (SLD), having a tapered active region. SLD was fabricated through a two-step procedure: the first step being metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and the second-step being liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). We used a 15 laterally tilted stripe and window region to suppress the lasing action of the SLD. The performance of the SLD showed output power of 11 mW with no lasing under 200 mA pulse driving. The full-width at half-maximum was 42 nm at 200 mA, 25℃.
