A NiCo-metal organic framework (MOF) electrode, prepared using urea as a surfactant, was synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal method. The addition of urea to the NiCo-MOF creates interstitial voids and an ultra-thin nanostructure in the NiCo-MOF, which improves its charge transfer performance. We obtained the optimal metal to surfactant ratio to achieve the best specific capacitance. The NiCo-MOF was employed as the working electrode material in a three-electrode system. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were employed to characterize the microstructures and morphologies of the composites. Cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy curves were employed to quantify the electrochemical properties of the electrodes in a 6 M KOH electrolyte.

Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 계면에 얇은 NiFeCo와 NiFe층을 삽입시 Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 자기 저항 거동에 미치는 영향에 관해 연구하였다. NiFe층이 Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 계면에 삽입된 경우 6%의 자기저항과 50 Oe의 포화자장을 보였으며 이때의 자기저항곡선은 hysteresis를 거의 보이지 않았다. NiFeCo층이 삽입된 경우는 자기저항값은 7%를 보였으나 포화자장과 hysteresis가 많이 증가하였다. 교류자장원을 이용한 동적자기저항을 측정한 결과 bias 자장하에서 자기저항의 증가폭이 NiFe층을 삽입한 경우가 NiFeCo를 삽입한 경우보다 컸으며 이는 hysteresis가 작았기 때문으로 해석된다.

Organic solar cell was fabricated using one-pot deposition of a mixture of NiO nanoparticles, P3HT and PCBM. In the presence of NiO, the photovoltaic performance was slightly increased comparing to that of the device without NiO. When $TiO_2$ thin films with a thickness of 2~3 nm was prepared on NiO nanoparticles using atomic layer deposition, the power conversion efficiency was increased by a factor 2.5 with respect to that with bare NiO. Moreover, breakdown voltage of the film consisting of NiO, P3HT, and PCBM on indium tin oxide was increased by more than 1 V in the presence of $TiO_2$-shell on NiO nanoparticles. It is evidenced that S atoms of P3HT can be oxidized on NiO surfaces, and $TiO_2$-shell on NiO nanoparticles. It is evidenced that S atoms of P3HT can be oxidzed on NiO surfaces, and $TiO_2$ shell heavily reduced oxidation of S at oxide/P3HT interfaces. Oxidized S atoms can most likely act as carrier generation sites and recombination centers within the depletion region, decreasing breakdown voltage and performance of organic solar cells. Our result shows that fabrication of various core-shell nanostruecutres of oxides by atomic layer deposition with controlled film thickness can be of potential importance for fabricating highly efficient organic solar cells.

A charge-trap flash (CTF) thin film transistor (TFT) memory is proposed at a low-temperature process (≤ 450℃). The memory cell consists of a sputtered oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) gate dielectric and Schottky barrier (SB) source/drain (S/D) junctions using nickel silicide. These components enable the ultra-low-temperature process to be successfully achieved with the ONO gate stacks that have a substrate temperature of room temperature and S/D junctions that have an annealing temperature of 200℃. The silicidation process was optimized by measuring the electrical characteristics of the Ni-silicided Schottky diodes. As a result, the Ion/Ioff current ratio is about 1.4×10⁵ and the subthreshold swing and field effect mobility are 0.42 V/dec and 14 cm²/V·s at a drain voltage of −1 V, respectively.

Single crystalline indium-tin-oxide (ITO) nanowires (NWs) were grown by sputtering method. A thin Ni film of 5 nm was coated before ITO sputtering. Thermal treatment forms Ni nanoparticles, which act as templates to diffuse Ni into the sputtered ITO layer to grow single crystalline ITO NWs. Highly optical transparent photoelectric devices were realized by using a transparent metal-oxide semiconductor heterojunction by combining of p-type NiO and n-type ZnO. A functional template of ITO nanowires was applied to this transparent heterojunction device to enlarge the light-reactive surface. The ITO NWs/n-ZnO/p-NiO heterojunction device provided a significant high rectification ratio of 275 with a considerably low reverse saturation current of 0.2 nA. The optical transparency was about 80% for visible wavelengths, however showed an excellent blocking UV light. The nanostructured transparent heterojunction devices were applied for UV photodetectors to show ultra fast photoresponses with a rise time of 8.3 mS and a fall time of 20 ms, respectively. We suggest this transparent and super-performing UV responser can practically applied in transparent electronics and smart window applications.

[ $1.00{\times}0.24\;{\mu}m^2$ ] 크기의 $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ 박막의 자화 반전 거동을 자화 용이축으로 1 ns 이하의 펄스 자기장의 지속 시간과 세기를 변수로 인가하여 micromagnetics 시뮬레이션으로 관찰하였다. 자성 박막은 직사각형과 타원형의 모양을 가지며, 두께는 2 nm와 4 nm로 설정하였다. 실험 결과 $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ 박막의 두께와 모양에 따라 각각 다른 경향을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 박막의 두께에 따라 두께 방향으로 형성되는 반자장의 크기 차에 의해 edge domain에서 스핀의 회전속도와 스핀 스위칭의 거동에 차이가 생기며, 박막이 두꺼울수록 자화 반전에 더 긴 펄스 지속 시간과 강한 펄스 자기장이 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, 자화 반전이 예상되는 영역에서 자화 반전이 일어나지 않는 비정상적인 자화 반전 영역을 발견할 수 있었는데, 박막의 모양이 타원일 때와 박막의 두께가 얇은 경우에 그 영역이 더욱 불규칙적이고, 넓게 분포하였다. 이러한 현상은 막의 두께가 매우 얇기 때문에 두께 방향으로 형성된 강한 반자장의 영향에 의해 나타나는 것으로 여겨진다. Edge domain이 더 많은 직사각형 모양의 경우 자화반전이 일어나는 동안 자기모멘트의 세차 운동에 의해 생기는 $M_z$ 성분, 즉 두께방향으로 형성된 반자장이 더 작고, 이에 따라 자화 반전이 예상되는 영역에서 자화 반전이 일어나지 않는 비정상적인 자화 반전 영역이 더 적어짐을 확인하였다. 본 시뮬레이션 결과는 자성박막의 안정된 고속 자화반전을 위해서는 반자장의 영향을 최소화하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 보여준다.

Dry processes like evaporation and sputtering in vacuum chamber are difficult to make a uniform, large area and high quality film on thin PET substrate because of PET degradation and bad adhesion. On the other hand, wet processes like electro or electroless plating have complex processes and require high environmental cost. In this study, we successfully prepared $2{\mu}m$ Zn/Cu/Ni multilayers coated on $12{\mu}m$ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by using dry-wet mixing processes. Their surface electric resistances were evaluated around $0.2{\Omega}$ by using 4 probe measurements. Furthermore, their corrosion resistance also evaluated by natural potential test and compared with other wet, dry and mixing process samples.

The oxidation of NiAl(110) was investigated in the temperature regime between 300K and 1300 K using LEED (low energy electron diffraction), TPD (temperature programmed desorption) and HREELS (high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy). The adsorption of N2O and O2 up to reconstructions. Stepwise annealing of the oxygen-saturated sample from 600 K to 1300K in UHV (ultra-high vacuum,) results in firstly the onset of randomly oriented then finally fairly well-ordered. 5 ${\AA}$ Al2O3 film with quasi-hexagonal periodicity. Ordered thicker oxide films of 18-30 ${\AA}$ seem to be grown on this interfacial oxide layer by direct oxidation of sample at elevated temperature between 1150 and 1300 K because of the LEED pattern consisting of new broad hexagonal spots and the previous 5 ${\AA}$ spots. Although the periodicity of surface oxygen arrays shows no significant change from an hexagonal close-packing, the O-O distance changes from ∼3.0 ${\AA}$ film to ∼2.9 ${\AA}$ for thicker oxides. with the appearance of Auger parameter, for the 5${\AA}$ film can be described better as an interfacial oxide layer. The observation of three symmetric phonon peaks can be also a supporting evidence for this phase assignment since thicker oxide films on the Same Ni2Al3(110) show somewhat different phonon structure much closer to that of the ${\gamma}$-Al2O3. The adsorption/desorption of methanol further proves the preparation of less-defective and/or oxygen-terminated Al2O3 films showing ordered phase transitions with the change of oxide thickness between 5 ${\AA}$ to 30 ${\AA}$.

The role of magnetic anisotropy of the antiferromagnetic layer on the magnetization process of exchange coupled polycrystalline ferromagnetidantiferromagnetic bilayers is discussed. In order to elucidate the magnetic torque response of Ni-Fe/Mn-Ir bilayers, the single spin ensemble model is newly introduced, taking into account the two-dimensionally random distribution of the magnetic anisotropy axes of the antiferromagnetic grains. The mechanism of the reversible inducement of the exchange anisotropy along desirable directions by field cooling procedure is successfully explained with the new model. Unidirectional anisotropy constant, J$k$, of polycrystalline Ni-Fe/Mn-Ir and Co-Fe/Mn-Ir bilayers is investigated as functions of the chemical composition of both the ferromagnetic layer and the antiferromagnetic layer. The effects of microstructure and surface modification of the antiferromagnetic layer on JK are also discussed. As a notable result, an extra large value of J$k$, which exceeds 0.5 erg/cm$^2$, is obtained for $Co_{70}Fe_{30}Mn_{75}Ir_{25}$ bilayer with the ultra-thin (50${\AA}$∼100${\AA}$) Mn-Ir layer. The exchange anisotropy of $Co_{70}Fe_{30}$ 40 ${\AA}/Mn_{75}Ir_{25}$ 100 ${\AA}$ bilayer is stable for thermal annealing up to $400{^{\circ}C}$, which is sufficiently high for the application of spin valve magnetoresistive devices.

A highly sensitive magnetic sensor using the Giant MagnetoImpedance effect has been developed. The sensor performance is studied and estimated. The sensor circuitry consists of a square wave generator (driving source), a sensing element in a form of composite wire of a 25 $\mu$m copper core electrodeposited with a thin layer of soft magnetic material ($Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$), and two amplifier stages for improving the gain, switching mechanism, scaler circuit, an AC power source driving the permeability of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing element into a dynamic state, and a signal pickup LC circuit formed by a pickup coil and an capacitor. Experimental studies on sensor have been carried out to investigate the key parameters in relation to the sensor sensitivity and resolution. The results showed that for high sensitivity and resolution, the frequency and magnitude of the ac driving current through the sensing element each has an optimum value, the resonance frequency of the signal pickup LC circuit should be equal to or twice as the driving frequency on the sensing element, and the anisotropy of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing wire element should be longitudinal.
