A stochiometric mix of CuInTe₂ polycrystal was prepared in a honizonatal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuInTe₂ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) by the HWE system. The source and substrate temperatures were 610℃ and 450℃ respectively, and the thickness of the deposited single crystal thin film was 2.4㎛. CuInTe₂ single crystal thin film was proved to be the optimal growth condition when the excition emission spectrum was the strongest at 1085.3 nm(1.1424 eV) of photoluminescence spectrum at 10 K, and also FWHM of Double Crystal X-ray Rocking Curve (DCRC) was the smallest, 129 arcsec. The Hall effect on this sample was measured by the method of Van der Pauw, and the carrier density and mobility dependent on temperature were 9.57x10/sup 22/ electron/㎥, 1.31x10/sup -2/㎡/V·s at 293 K, respectively. The ΔCr(Crystal field splitting) and the ΔSo (spin orbit coupling splitting( measured at f10K from the photocurrent peaks in the short wavelength of the CuInTe₂ single crystal thin film were about 0.1200 eV, 0.2833 eV respectively. From the PL spectra of CuInTe₂ single crystal thin film at 10 K, the free exciton (E/sub x/) was determined to be 1064.5 nm(1.1647 eV) and the donor-bound exciton(D/sup 0/, X) and acceptor-bound exciton (A/sup 0/, X) were determined to be 1085.3 nm(1.1424 eV) and 1096.8 nm(1.1304 eV0 respectively. And also, the donor-acciptor pair (DAP)P/sub 0/, DAP-replica P₁, DAP-replica P₂ and self-activated (SA) were determined to be 1131 nm (1.0962 eV), 1164 nm(1.0651 eV), 1191.1 nm(1.0340 eV) and 1618.1 nm (0.7662 eV), respectively.

The stochiometric composition of AgGaS$_2$ polycrystal source materials for the AgGaS$_2$/GaAs epilayer was prepared from horizontal furnace. From the extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns it was found that the polycrystal AgGaS$_2$ has tetragonal structure of which lattice constant a$\sub$0/ and c$\sub$0/ were 5.756 ${\AA}$ and 10.305 ${\AA}$, respectively. AgGaS$_2$/GaAs epilayer was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) substrate from mixed crystal AgGaS$_2$ by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (100) system. The source and substrate temperature were 590$^{\circ}C$ and 440$^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystallinity of the grown AgGaS$_2$/GaAs epilayer was investigated by the DCRC (double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve). The optical energy gaps were found to be 2.61 eV for AgGaS$_2$/GaAs epilayer at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent peak energy is well explained by the Varshni equation, then the constants in the Varshni equation are given by ${\alpha}$ : 8.695${\times}$10$\^$-4/ eV/K, and ${\beta}$ = 332 K. From the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light of the AgGaS$_2$/GaAs epilayer, we have found that crystal field splitting ΔCr was 0.28 eV at 20 K. From the PL spectra at 20 K, the peaks corresponding to free and bound excitons and a broad emission band due to D-A pain are identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.2676 eV and 0.2430 eV and the dissociation energy of the bound excitons to be 0.4695 eV.

We demonstrate epitaxial growth of ZnO thin films on 4H-SiC(0001) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). ZnO and SiC have attracted attention for their special material properties as wide band gap semiconductors. Especially, ZnO could be applied to optoelectronic applications such as light emitting devices and photo detectors due to its direct wide bandgap (Eg) of ~3.37eV and large exciton binding energy of ~60meV. SiC shows a good lattice matching to ZnO compared with other commonly used substrates and in this regard SiC is a good candidate as a substrate for ZnO. In this work, ZnO thin films were grown on 4H-SiC(0001) substrates by PLD using an Nd:YAG laser with a 355nm wavelength. The crystalline properties of the films were evaluated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) $\theta-2\theta$, rocking curve and pole figure measurements using a high-resolution diffractometer. The surface morphology of the films was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Shallow footings are one of the most common types of foundations used to support mid-rise buildings in high risk seismic zones. Recent findings have revealed that the dynamic interaction between the soil, foundation, and the superstructure can influence the seismic response of the building during earthquakes. Accordingly, the properties of a foundation can alter the dynamic characteristics (natural frequency and damping) of the soil-foundation-structure system. In this paper the influence that shallow foundations have on the seismic response of a mid-rise moment resisting building is investigated. For this purpose, a fifteen storey moment resisting frame sitting on shallow footings with different sizes was simulated numerically using ABAQUS software. By adopting a direct calculation method, the numerical model can perform a fully nonlinear time history dynamic analysis to realistically simulate the dynamic behaviour of soil, foundation, and structure under seismic excitations. This three-dimensional numerical model accounts for the nonlinear behaviour of the soil medium and structural elements. Infinite boundary conditions were assigned to the numerical model to simulate free field boundaries, and appropriate contact elements capable of modelling sliding and separation between the foundation and soil elements are also considered. The influence of foundation size on the natural frequency of the system and structural response spectrum was also studied. The numerical results for cases of soil-foundation-structure systems with different sized foundations and fixed base conditions (excluding soil-foundation-structure interaction) in terms of lateral deformations, inter-storey drifts, rocking, and shear force distribution of the structure were then compared. Due to natural period lengthening, there was a significant reduction in the base shears when the size of the foundation was reduced. It was concluded that the size of a shallow foundation influences the dynamic characteristics and the seismic response of the building due to interaction between the soil, foundation, and structure, and therefore design engineer should carefully consider these parameters in order to ensure a safe and cost effective seismic design.

As deposited and annealed MTJs with the structure of $Ta(5 nm)/Cu(10 nm)/Ta(5 nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(2 nm)/Cu(5 nm)/ Ir_{25}Mn_{75}(10 nm)/Co_{70}Fe_{30}(2.5 nm)/Al-O/Co_{70}Fe_{30}(2.5nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(t)/Ta(5nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(t)/Ta(5 nm)$, where t=10, 30, 60 and 100 nm were characterized by XRD and magnetic hysteresis loops measurements. The XRD measurements were done in grazing incidence $(GID scan-2{\theta})$ and ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ geometry, by rocking curve $(scan-{\omega})$ and pole figures in order to establish correlation between texture and crystallites size and magnetic parameters of exchange biased and interlayer coupling. The variations of shifting and coercivity field of free and pinned layers after annealing in $300^{\circ}C$ correlate with the improvement of ［111］ texture and grains size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ and $Ir_{25}Mn_{75}$ respectively. The exchange biased and the coercivity fields of the pinned layer linearly increased with increasing grain size of $Ir_{25}Mn_{75}$, The reciprocal proportionality between interlayer coupling and coercivity fields of the free layer and grain size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ was found. The enhancement of interlayer coupling between pinned and free layers, after annealing treatment, indicates on the correlated in-phase roughness of dipolar interacting interfaces due to increase of crystallites size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$.

We report the growth of HgCdTe by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), using (211)B CdTe/Si substrates grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The surface morphology of these films is very smooth with hillock free. The etch pit densities (EPD) and full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of x-ray rocking curves exhibited that the crystalline quality of HgCdTe epilayer on MBE grown CdTe/Si was improved compare to HgCdTe on GaAs substrate. The Hall parameters of undoped HgCdTe layers on CdTe/Si showed n-type behavior with carrier concentration of $8{\times}10^{14}/cm^3$ at 77K. But HgCdTe on GaAs showed p-type conductivity due to in corporation of p-type impurities during GaAs substrate preparation. It is thought that these results are applicable for large area HgCdTe forcal plane arrays of $1024{\times}1024$ format and beyound.

광소자 기술은 정보 전달 및 저장 기술의 지속적인 증가 요구에 따라 발전을 거듭하여 왔다. 특히 광통신 및 저장 기술에서 광원으로 사용되는 레이저 다이오드는 안정되면서 쉽게 제작할 수 있어야 한다. 이온 주입 방법은 반도체 공정에서 광범위하게 사용되는 공정이며 이미 소자측면에서 안정성이 확보되었다고 볼 수 있으나 대부분 메모리 등의 실리콘 반도체에서 이용되어 왔다. 최근에는 화합물 반도체 분야에서도 적용하는 예가 증가되고 있으나 광원으로 사용되는 레이저 다이오드의 경우는 우수한 품질의 반도체 층이 요구되며 따라서 damage가 큰 이온 주입 방법을 이용한 연구는 아직 많이 이루어져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 레이저 다이오드 구조의 성장측에 국부적으로 Fe 이온을 주입하여 도파로를 형성하여 광을 구속하여 도파시키는 동시에 전기적으로도 도파로 부분으로만 다이오드가 형성되도록 하고자 한다. 먼저 p층의 전기적 절연에 필요한 조건을 확보하기 위하여 CBE를 사용하여 Fe가 doping 된 SI-InP wafer 위에 p-InP (Be:5x1017 cm-3)층을 1.2$mu extrm{m}$ 성장한 후 ohmic 층으로 p-InGaAs (Be:1x1019 cm-3)을 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 성장한 시료에 고에너지 이온 주입 장치를 사용하여 Fe 이온을 1MeV, 1.6meV의 에너지에 각각 1x1014cm-2, 2x1014cm-2 의 dose로 전면에 implant 하였다. 이 시료를 tube furnace에서 500, 600, $700^{\circ}C$각각 10분씩 annealing 한 후 재성장을 확인하기 위하여 DCXRD을 측정하였다. 그림 1은 DCXRD rocking curve로 annealing 하기 전 후의 In rich에서 side peak의 감소를 확인 할 수 있었는데 이는 damage가 어느 정도 복구되었음을 의미한다. 또한 절연 특성을 확인하기 위하여 ohmic metal을 증착하여 Hall 효과를 측정하였다. 그림 2에 보이는 것과 같이 annealing 온도가 증가함에 따라 면저항이 크게 증가함을 볼 수 있으며 이온 주입하기 전의 시료에 비해 104 이상의 저항을 갖을 수 있다. 향후 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ LD 구조에서 발진 특성을 관찰할 계획이다.

To investigate the thermal preheating effect of the GaAs substrate exerted on the ZnS epilayers for the first time, ZnS epilayers were grown on the GaAs (100) substrate by hot wall epitaxy. The thermal preheating temperature was $450^{\circ}C$~$660^{\circ}C$. The full width at half maximum values of double crystal rocking curve were the smallest for the ZnS epilayers grown on the GaAs thermally preheated at around both $500^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$. However, photoluminescence characteristics of ZnS epilayers were better at $600^{\circ}C$ than at $500^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was shown that the optimum preheating temperature of the GaAs substrate for the growth of high quality ZnS epilayer was around $600^{\circ}C$. From these experimental results, it was shown that the crystal quality and the PL properties of ZnS epilayers were enhanced for the GaAs substrates thermally preheated at $600^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we have investigated the development of the crystal growth stability and reproducibility for large and high-quality DAST. DAST crystal were grown from a saturated methanol solution by a slow cooling method and DAST was synthesized by the condensation of 4-methyl-n-methyl pyridinum tosylate, which was prepared from 4-pocoline and methyl toluenesulponate and 4-N-dimethyl amino-bezaldehyde in the presence of piperidine. We had synthesized DAST crystals in dry Argon atmosphere in order to avoid the formation of hydride organge co-crystals, DAST$.$$H_2O$. Since DAST molecules crystallize in a humid atmosphere, crystal structure become centrosymmetric, and then second order NLO (nonlinear optical) properties would be disappeared. We fixed the growth orientation of DAST crystal (001) surface. The crystal growth was proceeded at a cooling rate of $H_2O$/day and the cooling period is for 4 days. The dimensions of seed crystal was $2.5\times 3.6\times0.4\textrm{mm}^3$ and we have obtained a DAST crystal with the dimension of $10\times 10.5\times3.0\textrm{mm}^3$. The color of grown DAST crystal is red and it's surface appears to be metallic green.

The stochiometric composition of $AgGaS_2$ polycrystal source materials for the $AgGaS_2/GaAs$ epilayer was prepared from horizontal furnace. From the extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns it was found that the polycrystal $AgGaS_2$ has tetragonal structure of which lattice constant $a_0$ and $c_0$ were 5.756 ${\AA}$ and 10.305 ${\AA}$, respectively. $AgGaS_2/GaAs$ epilayer was deposited on throughly etched GaAs (100) substrate from mixed crystal $AgGaS_2$ by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystallinity of the grown $AgGaS_2/GaAs$ epilayer was investigated by the DCRC (double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve). The optical energy gaps were found to be 2.61 eV for $AgGaS_2/GaAs$ epilayer at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent peak energy is well explained by the Varshni equation, then the constants in the Varshni equation are given by ${\alpha}=8.695{\times}10^{-4}eV/K$, and $\beta$=332 K. From the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light of the $AgGaS_2/GaAs$ epilayer, we have found that crystal field splitting $\Delta$ Cr was 0.28 eV at 20 K. From the PL spectra at 20 K, the peaks corresponding to free and bound excitons and a broad emission band due to D-A pairs are identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.2676 eV and 0.2430 eV and the dissociation energy of the bound excitons to be 0.4695 eV.
