  • Nanoparticles of the compound semiconductor, Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS), were synthesized in solution under ambient pressure below $100^{\circ}C$ and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. These materials have chalcopyrite crystal structures and the particle sizes less than 100 nm. Synthetic conditions were studied for the crystallized CIGS nanoparticles formation to prevent from side products of Cu2Se, Cu2-xSe, and CuSe etc. The single phase CIGS nanoparticles were applied to coating of thin films photovoltaic cells. The electro deposition of CIGS thin films is also a good non-vacuum technology and under investigation. In aqueous solutions, the different chemical compositions of CIGS thin films were obtained, depending on pH, concentration of starting materials and deposition potentials. The surface morphology of the prepared CIGS thin films depends on the complexing ligands to the solutions during the electrochemical deposition.

  • We confirmed that the improvement in properties of magnetic tunnel junctions prepared by radical oxidation after thermal treatment was mostly resulted from the redistribution of oxygen at the $AIOx/Co_{90}Fe_{10}$ interface. The as-deposited Al oxide barrier was oxygen-deficient but most of it re-oxidized into $Al_2O_3$, the thermodynamically stable stoichiometric phase, through thermal treatment. As a result, the effective barrier height was increased from 1.52 eV to 2.27 eV. On the other hand, the effective barrier width was decreased from 8.2 ${\AA}$ to 7.5 ${\AA}$. X-ray absorption spectra of Fe and Co clearly showed that the oxygen in the CoFe layer diffused back into the Al barrier and thereby enriched the barrier to close to a stoichiometirc $Al_2O_3$ phase. The oxygen bonded with Co and Fe diffused back by 6.8 ${\AA}$ and 4.5 ${\AA}$ after thermal treatment, respectively. Our results confirm that controlling the chemical structures of the interface is important to improve the properties of magnetic tunnel junctions.

  • In this study, we evaluated the change of electronic structure during redox process in cerium-doped $ZrO_2$ grown by sol gel method. By sol-gel method, we could obtain cerium-doped $ZrO_2$ in high oxygen partial pressure and low temperature. After post annealing process in nitrogen ambient, the film is deoxidized. We used spectroscopic and theoretical methods to analysis change of electronic structure. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for O K1-edge and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation using VASP code were performed to verify the electronic structure of the film. Also, high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HRXPS) for Ce 3d was carried out to confirm chemical bond of cerium doped $ZrO_2$. Through the investigation of the electronic structure, we verified as followings. (1) During reduction process, binding energy of oxygen is increase. Simultaneously, oxidation state of cerium was change to 4+ to 3+. (2) Cerium 4+ and cerium 3+ states were generated at different energy level. (3) Absorption states in O K edge were mainly originated by Ce 4+ $f_0$ and Ce 3+, while occupied states in valance band were mainly originated from Ce 4+ $f_2$.

  • Valence states and electronic structures of Cr-doped $Nd_{1/2}A_{1/2}Mn_{1-y}Cr_{y}O_3$(NAMO; A=Ca, Sr) manganites have been investigated using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (PES). All the Cr-doped NAMO systems exhibit the clear metallic Fermi edges in the Mn $e_{g}$ PES spectra near $E_{F}$. The spectral intensity at $E_{F}$ is higher for Cr-doped N $d_{l}$ 2/S $r_{l}$ 2/Mn $O_3$(NSMO) than for Cr-doped N $d_{l}$ 2/C $a_{l}$ 2/Mn $O_3$ (NCMO), reflecting the stronger metallic nature for NSMO than for NCMO. The measured Cr 2p XAS spectra are found to be very similar to that of C $r_2$ $O_3$, indicating that Cr ions in Cr-doped NAMO are in the trivalent C states ( $t^3$$_{2g}$). The Cr 2p XAS data are consistent with the Cr 3d PES spectra located at ∼1.3 eV below $E_{F}$ and having no emission near $E_{F}$.

  • For the first time Pb, Ni, and Cu nanocomposites were synthesized by versatile solution combustion synthesis using Aloevera extract as a reducing agent, to study the potential applications in X-ray/gamma, neutron, and Bremsstrahlung shielding. The synthesized Lead-Nickel-Copper (LNC) nanocomposites were characterized by PXRD, SEM, UV-VIS, and FTIR for the confirmation of successful synthesis. PXRD analysis confirmed the formation of multiphase LNC NCs and the Scherrer equation and the W-H plot gave the average crystal sizes of 19 nm and 17 nm. Surface morphology using SEM and EDX confirmed the presence of LNC NCs. Strong absorption peaks were analyzed by UV visible spectroscopy and the direct energy gap is found to be 3.083 eV. Functional groups present in the LNC NCs were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. X-ray/gamma radiation shielding properties were measured using NaI(Tl) detector coupled with MCA. It is found to be very close to Pb. Neutron shielding parameters were compared with traditional shielding materials and found LNC NCs are better than lead and concrete. Secondary radiation shielding known as Bremsstrahlung shielding characteristics also studied and found that LNC NCs are best in secondary radiation shielding. Hence LNC NCs find shielding applications in ionizing radiation such as X-ray/gamma and neutron radiation.

  • The chromophore/protein interactions in the photocycle intermediates of photoactive yel- low protein (PYP) were probed by site-directed mutagenesis. The absorption spectra of L- intermediates produced from E46Q, T50V, and R52Q mutants were calculated using the absorption spectra of dark states and difference absorption spectra between L-intermediates and dark states, and compared with that of PYP$\_$L/. The absorption spectrum of R52Q$\_$L/ agreed with that of PYP$\_$L/, but those of E46Q$\_$L/ and T50V$\_$L/ were red-shifted. The effect of these mutations on the absorption spectrum for L-intermediate was comparable to that for the dark state, suggesting that the interaction around the phe-nolic oxygen of the chromophore is conserved in PYP$\_$L/ unlike the crystal structure. On the other hand, we have reported that the absorption spectra of Y 42F$\_$M/, T50V $\_$M/, and R52Q$\_$M/ agreed with that of PYP$\_$M/, but that of E46Q$\_$M/ was red-shifted, suggesting that the hydrogen bond of the chromophore with Glu46 is conserved but that with Tyr42 is broken in PYP$\_$M/. These results suggest that the chromophore inter-acts with Glu46 throughout the photocycle, but never directly interacts with Arg52. This model con- flicts with some of the structural model of PYP intermediates proposed based on the high-resolution X -ray crystallography.
