$Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6:Co^{2+}$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction(CTR) method. They were crystallized in the monoclinic structure. These temperature dependence of the optical energy gap were closely investigated over the temperature range 10[K]~300[K]. The direct energy gaps of $Zn_4SnSe_6$ and $Zn_4SnSe_6$:$Co^{2+}$ single crystals were given by 2.146[eV] and 2.042[eV] at 300[K]. The temperature dependence of the optical energy gap is well presented by the Varshni equation.

Y-type hexagonal ferrites$(Ba_{2}Me_{2}Fe_{12}O_{22}:Me=transition metal)$ have promising electromagnetic properties in GHz range. Co and Zn are good candidates for the transition metal. To understand their role on the properties, it is thus necessary to study the ion(s) distribution in that complex Y-type hexagonal ferrite structure. The authors report Mossbauer spectroscopic results from very reliable samples, which has been extensively characterized by chemical analysis, Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, and magnetic property measurements. Analyzing two samples, $Co_{2}Y$ and $Co_{1.6}Zn_{0.4}Y$, conclusions are made as follow: (1) Co ions prefer the tetrahedral interstitial sites in the S-block $(6c_{IV})$ and the octahedral sites $(18h_{VI})$ at the interface of S- and T-block. (2) Partial substitution of Co with Zn (within the experimental range) does not disturb the Fe distribution.

We have prepared 20 kinds of Mn-Zn ferrites as content of CaO(0.1 mol%), NiO(0.0~0.60 mol%) and CoO(0.0~0.8 mol%) adding by the coprecipitation method and studied the magnetic properties as content of CaO, NiO and CoO adding. Initial permeability decrease as the content of NiO and CoO adding increases, while Curie tem~ perature increase as the content of NiO and CoO adding increases. $(H_{c})$, $(B_{s})$ and $(W_{h})$ increase as content of NiO adding increases.

In this paper, to make a solar cell of II-Ⅵ ZnTe compound semiconductor, we studied for the property of the transparent electrode(AZO) and Buffer layer(ZnO), and for reducing the energyband gap of optical absorber layer which are most effective on its efficiency. The ZnTe thin film was used the optical absorber layer of solar cell. Zn and Te were deposited using the co-sputtering method. The thin film was sputtered RF power of Zn/50W and Te/30W, respectively and a substrate temperature of foot under Ar atmosphere of 10mTorr. The energy band gap of the thin film was 1.73ev Then the thin film was annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 10sec under a vacuum atmosphere. The energy band gap of 1.67eV was achieved and the film composition ratio of Zn and Te was 32% and 68%. At the best condition, the Solar Cell was manufactured and the efficiency of 6.85% (Voc: 0.69V, Jsc: 21.408㎃/$cm^2$, Fill factor (FF): 0.46) was achieved.

The trap levels of ZnO-based varistor are obtained by Isothermal Capacitance Transient Spectroscopy method. Here ICTS measuring system consists of YHP 4192A Impedance Analyzer and a personal computer for the data acquisition. Between $-40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, the grain boundary trap levels of 0.48 and 0.94eV were detected for $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-MnO$ system. The hole omission spectra are observed in the case of the addition of CoO into the $ZnO-Bi_2O_3$ system, while the electron emission spectra are detected in the case of the addition of MnO. The nonlinear resistance coefficient $\alpha$ increases with the decrease of the dormer concentration. Finally, the trap level density of $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-MnO$ system is found to decrease with the amount of CoO, while $\alpha$ is found to increase with the amount of CoO.

Flue gases in the iron foundry consist of 15~20% CO2 as an air pollution gas whose emission should be mitigated in order to protect the environment. In the present study, ultrafine powders of NixZn1-xFe2O4 as a potential catalyst for the CO2 decomposition were prepared by the coprecipitation methods. Oxygen deficient ferrites (MeFe2O4-$\delta$) can decompose CO2 as C and O2 at a low temperature of about 30$0^{\circ}C$. The XRD result of synthesized ferrites showed the spinel structure of ferrites and ICP-AES and EDS quantitative analyses showed the composition similar with initial molar ratios of the mixed solution prior to reaction. The BET surface area of the (Ni, Zn)-ferrites was about 77~89.5$m^2$/g and their particle size was observed about 10~20 nm. The CO2 decomposition efficiency of the oxygen deficient (Nix, Zn1-x)-ferrites was the highest at x=0.3, and the ternary (Ni, Zn)-ferrites was better than that of binary Ni-ferrites.

Mg-doped ZnO one-dimensional (1D) nanostrutures were synthesized by using a thermal evaporation technique. The morphology, crystal structure, and sensing properties of the Mg-doped ZnO nanostructures functionalized with Pt to CO gas at $100^{\circ}C$ were examined. The diameters of the 1D nanostructures ranged from 80 to 120 nm and that the lengths were up to a few tens of micrometers. The gas sensors fabricated from multiple networked Mg-doped ZnO nanowires functionalized with Pt showed enhanced electrical response to CO gas. The responses of the nanowires were improved by approximately 70, 69, 111, and 81 times at CO concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and 100 ppm, respectively. Both the response and recovery times of the nanowire sensor for CO gas sensing were not nearly changed by Pt functionalization. It also appeared that the Mg doping concentration did not influence the sensing properties of ZnO nanowires as strongly as Pt-functionalization. In addition, the mechanism for the enhancement in the CO gas sensing properties of Mg-doped ZnO nanowires by Pt functionalization is discussed.
