A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $BaAl_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $BaAl_2Se_4$ 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 $610^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $BaAl_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.29{\times}10^{-16}cm^{-3}$ and $278cm^2/vs$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $BaAl_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=3.4205eV-(4.3112{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+232 K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $BaAl_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 249.4 meV and 263.4 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $BaAl_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-exciton for n =1 and $C_{31}$-exciton peaks for n=31.

테라헤르쯔(terahertz: THz)파는 0.1~10 THz 의 범위로 적외선과 방송파 사이에 광대역 주파수 스펙트럼을 차지하고 있으며 직진성, 투과성, 그리고 낮은 에너지 (meV)를 가지고 있어 비 파괴적이고 무해한 장점을 지니고 있다. Ti:sapphire laser와 같은 femto-pulse source 등이 많은 발전이 되어 현재 많은 연구와 발전이 이루어지고 있다. femto-pulse source를 이용한 THz 응용에서는 높은 저항, 큰 전자 이동도, 그리고 아주 짧은 전하수명의 기판을 요구하는데 저온에서 성장한 (low-temperature grown : LT) GaAs는 격자 내에 Gallium 자리에 Arsenic이 치환 하면서 AsGa antisite가 발생하여 전하수명을 짧아지는 것을 응용하여 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 현재 THz 응용분야에서 보다 작고 가격경쟁력이 있는 광통신을 이용한 THz photomixer등이 활발히 연구 하고 있다. 광섬유 내에서 손실과 분산이 최소값을 가지는 부분이 1.55 ${\mu}m$ 부근이고 In0.53Ga0.47As 기판을 이용하였을 때 여기에 완벽하게 만족하게 된다. 하지만 LT-InGaAs 의 경우 AsGa antisite로 인하여 carrier lifetime은 짧아지지만 높은 n-type 전하밀도를 가지게 된다. 이때 Be을 doping하여 전하밀도를 보상하여 높은 저항을 유지해야 하는데 Be의 활성화를 위해서는 열처리를 필요로 한다. 하지만 열처리를 하면 carrier lifetime이 길어지기 때문에 carrier lifetime과 저항을 적절히 조율해야 한다. 이는 물질자체의 특성이기 때문에 InGaAs는 GaAs보다 낮은 amplitude와 짧은 cut-off frequency를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 보다 높은 저항을 얻기 위하여 molecular beam epitaxy를 이용하여 semi-insulating InP:Fe 기판위에 격자 정합된 InGaAs:Be/InAlAs multi quantum well (MQW)를 온도별 ($250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$), 주기별 (50~150)로 성장을 하였고 이때 InGaAs layer의 Be doping level은 $2{\times}1018\;cm^{-3}$, Ex-situ annealing은 $550^{\circ}C$에서 10분으로 고정 하였다. THz 발생 실험에서는 InGaAs/InAlAs MQW은 4000 pA로 1,000 pA를 가지는 InGaAs epilayer보다 4배 높은 전류 신호를 얻을 수 있었고 모든 샘플이 2 THz에서 cut-off frequency를 가지고 있었다. THz 검출 실험에서는 LT-InGaAs:Be epilayer LT-InGaAs:Be/InAlAs, HT-InGaAs/InAlAs 샘플이 각각 180, 9000, 12000 pA의 전류신호를 가지고 있었고 모든 샘플이 2 THz에서 cut-off frequency를 가지고 있었다. HT-InGaAs/InAlAs MQW를 이용한 검출실험에서는 InGaAs layer가 defect free이지만 LT-InGaAs:Be/ InAlAs MQW 보다 높은 전류 신호를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 InAlAs layer가 저항만 높이는 것뿐만 아니라 carrier trapping layer로써의 역할도 하는 것으로 사료된다.

This report constitutes the first demonstration in Korea of single-crystal lateral gallium oxide ($Ga_2O_3$) as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET), with a breakdown voltage in excess of 480 V. A Si-doped channel layer was grown on a Fe-doped semi-insulating ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$ (010) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The single-crystal substrate was grown by the edge-defined film-fed growth method and wafered to a size of $10{\times}15mm^2$. Although we fabricated several types of power devices using the same process, we only report the characterization of a finger-type MOSFET with a gate length ($L_g$) of $2{\mu}m$ and a gate-drain spacing ($L_{gd}$) of $5{\mu}m$. The MOSFET showed a favorable drain current modulation according to the gate voltage swing. A complete drain current pinch-off feature was also obtained for $V_{gs}<-6V$, and the three-terminal off-state breakdown voltage was over 482 V in a $L_{gd}=5{\mu}m$ device measured in Fluorinert ambient at $V_{gs}=-10V$. A low drain leakage current of 4.7 nA at the off-state led to a high on/off drain current ratio of approximately $5.3{\times}10^5$. These device characteristics indicate the promising potential of $Ga_2O_3$-based electrical devices for next-generation high-power device applications, such as electrical autonomous vehicles, railroads, photovoltaics, renewable energy, and industry.

Present studies were carried out for breeding cold resistant clones of Citrus, improving overwintering techniques of Citrus in Jeju island as well as other southern region, Result obtained were as follows 1. In the vinyl house covered with two sheets of straw mat, 12 indivuals were found as non-injury and 15 were slightly injured by leaf freeging test at $-9^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours treatment. 2. In the condition of vinyl house covered with straw mat and viny film mulching and heat-in by sun-light, the inside temperature of vinyl house were not lowered below $-3^{\circ}C$ and the ground temperatura in vinyl house keeps above $0^{\circ}C$ during winter though outdoor temperature were lower by $-15^{\circ}C$(Daejeon area). 3. The vinyl tunnel inside the vinyl house and vinyl film mulching on ground position showed greater effectiveness for preventing heat loss from house but there were no significant difference between the color of vinyl film covered the tunnel. 4. In the vertical distribution of maximum temperature in vinyl house, the upper space was slightly higher than the lower position at high temperature condition, while minimum temperature was distributed as higher as the middle position, ground surface and upper position in order at low temperature condition 5. In the horizontal distribution of temperature in vinyl house, ground and surface-temperature of north side was lower than the other sides, and citrus planted within 30cm from north side wall died by cold injury and in the other side near wall appeared slight symptom of cold injury. 6. The insulating trench ($30{\times}30{\times}30cm$) packed with straw bundle installed under north wall might be effective to prevent heat loss of ground temperature. 7. In cloudy and snowy day, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor were less, and the indoor temperature were maintained highly during night due to the effect of prevention of heat loss. 8. The highest temperature in a day was observed at about P.M. 3 both inside and outside of vinyl house and the lowest temperature was observed at about A.M. 6. The difference between the highest and lowest temperature of indoor in a sunny day was $19^{\circ}C$, compared with $9^{\circ}C$ on a cloudy or snowy day in late November. Especially, lowering of temperature in a snowy day was so less that the curve of temperature change was comparatively constant, 9. If the effective methods of citrus cultivation in vinyl house with improved clone such as hardiness. semi-dwarf and spur type are applied, it might be possible to cultivate the citrus tree safely in Jeju island as well as other southern rejion and to magnity the cultivation of citrus tree.

The stochiometric $AgGaSe_2$ polycrystalline mixture of evaporating materials for the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal and semi-insulating GaAs(100) wafer were used as source material and substrate for the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system, respectively. The source and substrate temperature were fixed at$ 630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thickness of grown single crystal thin films is 2.1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The single crystal thin films were investigated by photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.89\Times10^{17}$ cm$^{-3}$ , 129cm2/V.s at 293K, respectively. From the Photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting $$\Delta$S_{o}$ and the crystal field splitting $\Delta$C$_{r}$, were 0.1762eV and 0.2474eV at 10K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excision (EX) observable only in high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton ($D^{o}$ , X) having very strong peak intensity. And, the full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 8mev and 14.1meV, respectively. By Haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 141 meV.ion energy of impurity was 141 meV.
