  • Charge transport dynamics in ZnO based inverted organic solar cell (IOSC) has been characterized with transient photocurrent spectroscopy and localised photocurrent mapping-atomic force microscopy. The value of maximum exciton generation rate was found to vary from $2.6{\times}10^{27}m^{-3}s^{-1}$ ($J_{sat}=79.7A\;m^{-2}$) to $2.9{\times}10^{27}m^{-3}s^{-1}$ ($J_{sat}=90.8A\;m^{-2}$) for devices with power conversion efficiency ranging from 2.03 to 2.51%. These results suggest that nanorods served as an excellent electron transporting layer that provides efficient charge transport and enhances IOSC device performance. The photovoltaic performance of OSCs with various growth times of ZnO nanorods have been analysed for a comparison between AM1.5G spectrum and local solar spectrum. The simulated PCE of all devices operating under local spectrum exhibited extensive improvement with the gain of 13.3-3.7% in which the ZnO nanorods grown at 15 min possess the highest PCE under local solar with the value of 2.82%.

  • Electrical properties as a function of composition in silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) films grown at low temperatures ($<200^{\circ}C$) were studied for applications to photonic devices and thin film transistors. Both silicon-rich and nitrogen-rich compositions were successfully produced in final films by controlling the source gas mixing ratio, $R=[(N_2\;or\;NH_3)/SiH_4]$, and the RF plasma power. Depending on the film composition, the dielectric and optical properties of $SiN_x$ films varied substantially. Both the resistivity and breakdown field strength showed the maximum value at the stoichiometric composition (N/Si = 1.33), and degraded as the composition deviated to either side. The electrical properties degraded more rapidly when the composition shifted toward the silicon-rich side than toward the nitrogen-rich side. The composition shift from the silicon-rich side to the nitrogen-rich side accompanied the shift in the photoluminescence characteristic peak to a shorter wavelength, indicating an increase in the band gap. As long as the film composition is close to the stoichiometry, the breakdown field strength and the bulk resistivity showed adequate values for use as a gate dielectric layer down to $150^{\circ}C$ of the process temperature.

  • 0.5 wt% Al doped ZnO thin films (AZO) were prepared on glass substrates using RF magnetron sputtering method. Thin films were grown at substrate temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, RF power of 75W, working pressure of 10 mTorr, by changing the $O_2/Ar$ pressure ratio from 0% to 16.7%. The effects of oxygen partial pressure during the deposition process on structural and optical properties of the films were investigated using XRD, SEM, AFM, EPMA and UV-visible spectroscopy. All the AZO thin films were grown as hexagonal wurtzite phase with the c-axis preferred out-of-plane orientation. The surface roughness and grain size of AZO films decreased with increasing oxygen ratio from 10.6 nm to 3.2 nm and 94.9 nm to 30.9 nm, respectively. On the other hand, the transmittance and band gap energy of the AZO films increased from 84.7% to 92.6% and 3.24 eV to 3.28 eV, respectively with increasing the $O_2/Ar$ pressure ratio.

  • 본 논문에서는 중심에 동공을 갖는 원통형태 광결정 도파로가 제안되어지고, 이 전송로의 도파 특성에 대한 분석이 수행되어진다. 여기서 동공은 일반적인 공기이거나 임의의 액체나 고체 물질들에 의한 저지수 유전체로써 형성되게 된다. 베셀 함수를 이용한 분석적 방법으로 전자장에 대한 엄밀한 해를 구하기 위하여, 행렬 기법이 고유치 방정식의 유도에 사용되고, 실효 굴절률, 분산, 전자장 분포 등의 기본 모드의 중요한 전송 성질들이 조사된다. 또한 분석 결과 정확도의 검증을 위하여 엄밀한 완전 벡터 유한 차분법을 적용해보고, 광결정 도파로의 설계와 제조 상의 문제를 해결하는데 용이하게 활용하고자 한다. 설계된 중심-동공 광도파관의 실효 모드 면적이 2.6056 ㎛2에서 5.9673 ㎛2까지 동작 파장에 따라 다양하게 변하며, 일반적으로 광도파로의 중심으로부터 바깥쪽으로 원통형의 층수가 적을수록 그리고 굴절률 n1이 약간 큰 저지수일수록 실효 면적은 작아지므로, 비선형 소자 응용의 관점에서 훨씬 더 최적화된 결과를 나타낸다.

  • Radiation measurement technology has steadily improved and its usage is expanding in various industries such as nuclear medicine, security search, satellite, nondestructive testing, environmental industries and the domain of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Especially, the simultaneous measurements of gamma rays and neutrons can be even more critical for nuclear safety management of spent nuclear fuel and monitoring of the nuclear material. A semiconductor detector comprising cadmium, zinc, and tellurium (CZT) enables to detect gamma-rays due to the significant atomic weight of the elements via immediate neutron and gamma-ray detection. Semiconductor sensors might be used for nuclear safety management by monitoring nuclear materials and spent nuclear fuel with high spatial resolution as well as providing real-time measurements. We aim to introduce a portable nuclide-analysis device that enables the simultaneous measurements of neutrons and gamma rays using a CZT sensor. The detector has a high density and wide energy band gap, and thus exhibits highly sensitive physical characteristics and characteristics are required for performing neutron and gamma-ray detection. Portable nuclide-analysis device is used on NPP-decommissioning sites or the purpose of nuclear nonproliferation, it will rapidly detect the nuclear material and provide radioactive-material information. Eventually, portable nuclide-analysis device can reduce measurement time and economic costs by providing a basis for rational decision making.

  • ZnO single layer (60 nm thick) and ZnO with Ag interlayer (ZnO/Ag/ZnO; ZAZ) films were deposited on the glass substrates by using radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputter to evaluate the effectiveness of Ag interlayer on the optical visible transmittance and the conductivity of the films. In the ZAZ films, the thickness of ZnO layers was kept at 30 nm, while the Ag thickness was varied as 5, 10, 15 and 20 nm. In X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, ZnO films show the (002) diffraction peak and ZAZ films also show the weak ZnO (002) peak and Ag (111) diffraction peak. As a thickness of Ag interlayer increased to 20 nm, the grain size of the Ag films enlarged to 11.42 nm and the optical band gap also increased from 4.15 to 4.22 eV with carrier concentration increasing from 4.9 to 10.5×1021 cm-3. In figure of merit measurements, the ZAZ films with a 10 nm thick Ag interlayer showed the higher figure of merit of 4.0×10-3 Ω-1 than the ZnO single layer and another ZAZ films. From the experimental result, it is assumed that the Ag interlayer enhanced effectively the opto-electrical performance of the ZAZ films.

  • In this paper, WBG semiconductor such as SiC and GaN were applied as power switches for LCL circuit that can be applied to satellite power systems and the test results of the LCL circuit are reported. P-channel MOSFET and N-channel MOSFET, which were generally used in the conventional LCL circuit, were applied together to expand the utility of the test results. The design and stability evaluation were performed using a Micro Cap circuit simulation program. For the test circuit, a module using each switch was manufactured, and a total of 5 modules were manufactured and the steady state and transient state characteristics were compared. From the experimental results, the LCL circuit for power supply of the satellite power system constructed in this paper satisfied the constant current and constant voltage conditions under various operating conditions. The P-channel MOSFET showed the lowest efficiency characteristics, and the three N-channel switches of Si, SiC and GaN showed relatively high efficiency characteristics of up to 99.05% or more. In conclusion, it was verified that the on-resistor of the switch had a direct effect on the efficiency and loss characteristics.

  • MgO 입자 표면에 첨가된 P2O5의 가수분해, 발수성, 그리고 절연 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. MgO 표면에 첨가된 P2O5는 가수분해반응 억제와 발수성을 동시에 나타내기 때문에 독특한 절연거동을 나타내었다. 따라서 절연거동은 MgO의 표면수화반응에 의한 Mg(OH)2와 OH-전하 전달비와 친수성에 반비례하였다. 시효에 따른 MgO의 절연성은 표면수화반응, 첨가된 도펀트 종의 밴드갭, 그리고 도펀트의 친수성과 소수성에 강한 영향성과 의존성을 나타내었다. 마지막으로 친수성인 MgO의 표면수화반응을 억제하는 전기절연성을 발현하여 열전달매체 응용분야에서 큰 잠재력을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • We prepared a CsPbI2Br solution using Cesium iodide (CsI), Lead (II) bromide (PbBr2) and Lead (II) iodide (PbI2) materials into a polar solvent mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). A simple spin coating technique was used for the fabrication of CsPbI2Br absorber layer in the solution process. In order to prepare uniform coating of absorber film we adopted a hot-air process in assocation with the spin coating. It was confirmed that the thin film manufactured by the hot-air process had a higher absorption rate than that without it, and the optical band gap was measured 1.93 eV. The thin film of absorber was uniformly prepared and revealed the Black α-Cubic crystal phase as proved through X-ray diffraction analysis. Finally, a perovskite solar cell having an n-i-p structure was manufactured with a CsPbI2Br perovskite absorption layer. From the solar cell, we obtained a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.97% in a forward measurement.
