Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes are generally known to form sbalbe interpolymer complexs. Such polyelectrolyte complexes are high practical relevance in industrial applications as flocculants, coatings, and binders, as well as in biological systems and in biomedical applications. Most insoluble polyelectrolyte complexes seem to exhibit 1:1 charge stoichiometry, independent of the charge density on the macromolecules and the structure of their backbones, provided that all charged groups are accessible for electrostatic interactions.

The (S $r_{0.85}$C $a_{0.15}$)Ti $O_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/TiN/ $SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method according to the deposition condition. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/ $O_2$ ratio were 140[W] and 80/20, respectively. Deposition rate of SCT thin films was about 18.75[$\AA$/min] at the optimum condition. The composition of SCT thin films deposited on Si substrate is close to stoichiometry (1.102 in A/B ratio). The capacitance characteristics had a stable value within $\pm$4[%]. The drastic decrease of dielectric constant and increase of dielectric loss in SCT thin films were observed above 200[kHz]. SCT thin films used in this study showed the phenomena of dielectric relaxation with the increase of frequency.ncy.

Epitaxial films of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC, $\beta$-SiC) have been grown on Si(001) and Si(111) substrates by high vacuum chemical vapor deposition using the single precursor 1,3-disilabutane, $H_3SiCH_2SiH_2CH_3$, at temperatures 900~$100^{\circ}C$. The advantage of using the single precursor over the covnentional chemical vapor deposition is evident in that the source chemical is safe to handle, carbonization of the substrates is not necessary, accurate stoichiometry of the silicon carbide films is easily achieved, and the deposition temperature is much lowered. The films were characterized by XPS, XRD, SEM, RHEED, RBS, AES, and TED.

Oxygen-plasma effects of single crystal and thin film samples of $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_{3-\delta}$ have been studied. Our resistivity measurements indicate that oxygen plasma treatment gives rise to oxygen diffusion into bulk regions, which results in a decrease of $Mn^{3+}$ concentration in oxygen nonstoichiometric $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_{3-\delta}$ and in the activation energies of Holstein's small polarons in the paramagnetic region.

Aluminum nitride(AlN) thin films were deposited on silicon substrate by reactive RF magnetron sputtering without substrate heating. We investigated the dependence of some properties for AlN thin film on sputtering conditions such as working pressure, $N_2$ concentration and RF power. XRD, Ellipsometer and AES has been measured to find out structural properties and preferred orientation of AlN thin films. Deposition rate of AlN thin film was increased with an increase of RF power and decreased with an increase of $N_2$ concentration. AES in-depth measurements showed that stoichiometry of Aluminium and Nitrogen elements were not affected by $N_2$ concentration. It has shown that low working pressure, low $N_2$ concentration and high RF power should be maintained to deposit AlN thin film with a high degree of (0002) preferred orientation.

The (SrCa)$TiO_3$(SCT) thin films were deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method according to the deposition condition. The crystallinity of SCT thin films were increased with increase of deposition temperature in the temperature range of $100{\sim}500[^{\circ}C]$. The optimum conditions of RF power and Ar/$O_2$ ratio were 140[W] and 80/20, respectively. Deposition rate of SCT thin films was about $18.75[{\AA}/min]$ at the optimum condition. The composition of SCT thin films deposited on Si substrate is close to stoichiometry (1.081 in A/B ratio). The maximum dielectric constant of SCT thin film was obtained by annealing at $600[^{\circ}C]$.

We investigated the effect of Ar ion sputtering on the surface electronic structure of indium tin oxide (ITO) using X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) measurements with increasing Ar ion sputtering time. XPS measurements revealed that surface contamination on ITO was rapidly removed by Ar ion sputtering for 10 s. UPS measurements showed that the work function of ITO increased by 0.2 eV after Ar ion sputtering for 10 s. This increase in work function was attributed to the removal of surface contamination, which formed a positive interface dipole relative to the ITO substrate. However, further Ar ion sputtering did not change the work function of ITO although the surface stoichiometry of ITO did change. Therefore, removing the surface contamination is critical for increasing the work function of ITO, and Ar ion sputtering for a short time (about 10 s) can efficiently remove surface contamination.

Inclusion complex formation of octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$in aqueous solution and in the solid state was studied by the solubility method, spectroscopic (UV, FT-IR) and X-ray diffractornetry. The solid complex of octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ was obtained in molar ratio of 1:2 (guest/host). A spatial relationship between host and guest molecule was clearly reflected in the magnitude of the apparent stability constant (K') and in the stoichiometry of the inclusion complex. Furthermore, a typical type Bs phase-solubility diagram was obtained for octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate and ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ in water at $25^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that the solubility of the guest molecule was higher by the formation of ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ inclusion complex.

Preliminary studies were conducted to develop a dimensionally stable anode (DSA)electrode prepared by reactive sputtering method. The microstructure, surface morphology and electrochemical properties of iridium oxide $(IrO_2)$ coatings synthesized by unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS) and conventional DSA electrode were compared. In addition, the possibilities of $IrO_2$ films synthesized by UMB on a real DSA electrode were investigated by electro-chemical application test. The degree of non-stoichiometry and surface area were closely related to the electro-chemical activity of the $IrO_2$ electrode. The feasibility of making a DSA electrode prepared by PVD technique was demonstrated through the present work.

Hydrogen plasma-assisted epitaxial(PAE) growth of GaAs/Si and GaAs/Ge/Si with Ge buffer layer has been investigated. By means of photoluminescence, Nomarski microscopu, and $\alpha$-step, it could be known that GaAs on Si with Ge buffer layer has better crystalline quality than GaAs on Si without Ge buffer layer. The stoichiometry of GaAs layer on Si was confirmed by the depth profile of Auger electron spectroscope (AES). Also the native oxide(SiO$_2$) layer on Si substrate was plama-etched and the removal of the oxide layer was confirmed by AES. Photoluminescence peak wavelength of GaAs/Ge/Si with Ge buffer of 1\ulcorner thickness and GaAs growth rate of 160$\AA$/min was 8700$\AA$and FWHM was 12$\AA$.
