It is generally known that electron beam has sterilization effects and can activate plant germination and growth. Compared to electron beam, electrical pulse has not been frequently studied with respect to the biological application. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of high voltage pulse on seed germination and growth using various plant species. We have used the high voltage generator for examining seed's responses to the high voltage pulse. The operating voltage and currents of the generator are about 300 kV and 30 kA, respectively. Pulse width is 60 ns. High voltage pulse has slightly activated germination and growth of radish during early stage. Various levels of germination and growth are observed in different plant species after treated with high voltage pulse.

AlSb is a promising material for optical devices, particularly for high-frequency and nonlinear-optical applications. We report the effect of growth temperature on structural properties of AlSb grown on GaAs substrate. In particular we studied the surface of AlSb with the growth temperature by atomic force microscopy, and concluded that optimized growth temperature of AlSb is $530^{\circ}C$. We also show the result of real-time monitoring of AlSb growth by in situ ellipsometry. The results of the structural study are good agreement with the previous reported ellipsometric data.

The investigation has been carried out for purification, single crystal growth mechanism and convective phenomena in EBFZM of Nb metal. It is found that the EBFZM refined effectively oxygen and nitrogen, the interstitial impurities in Nb, but carbon was increased slightly by backstream of diffusion pump oil. The mechanism of single crystal growth associated with the second recrystallieation in Nb was suggested from the relationship between texture of starting materials and the crystal growth in EBFZM. It was observed from the investigation of convection phenomena in molten zone that the Marangoni convection was dominant in molten zone, which caused the striation in Nb and increased the purification effect of oxygen and nitrogen.

We have developed a new way of the constant growth technique to maintain a grating height of originally-etched V-groove of submicron gratings up to 1.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness by a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The constant growth technique is well performed on two kinds of submicron gratings that made by holography and electron (e)-beam lithography GaAs buffer layer grown on thermally deformed submicron gratings has an important role in recovering the deformed grating profile from sinusoidal to V-shaped by reducing mass transport effects. The thermal deformation effect on submicron gratings made by e-beam lithography is less than that on submicron gratings made by holography. The constant growth technique is an important step to realize complex optoelectronic devices such as one-step grown distributed feedback lasers and two-dimensional photonic crystals.

Indium aluminum arsenide(InAlAs) was grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) indium phosphide (InP) substrate and the effects of growth temperature on the properties of epitaxial layers were studied. In the temperature range of 370-$400 ^{\circ}C$, we observed that the surface morphology, optical quality and structural quality of InAlAs epilayers were improved as growth temperature increased. However, the InAlAs epilavers grown at $430 ^{\circ}C$ have the bad surface morphology and show the same trends as structural and epical quality. As a result of these measurements, it is suggested that the InAlAs epilayers of very good properties can be grown at $400 ^{\circ}C$.

BSCCO thin film is fabricated cia both processes of co-deposition and layer-by-layer deposition at an ultralow growth rate using ion beam sputtering method. The adsorption of Bi atom and the appearance of Bi-2212 phase shows large differance between both processes. It is found that the resident time of Bi vapor species on the surface of the substrate strongly dominates the film composition and the formation of the structure.

keV ion beam irradiatin for surface modification and thin film growth have been discussed. keV ion beam irradiation in reactive gas environment has been developed for improving wettability of polymer, and for enhancing adhesion to metal film, and adventages of the method have been reviewed. An epitaxial Cu film on Si(100) substrate has been grown by ionized cluster beam and changes of crystallinity and surface roughness have been discussed. Stoichiometric $SnO_2$ films on Si(100) and glass have been grown by a hybrid ion beam Deposition(2 metal ion sources+1 gas ion source), and nonstoichiometric $SnO_2$ films are controlled by various deposition conditions in the HIB. Surface modification for polymer by kev ion irradiation have been developed. Wetting angle of water to PC has been changed from 68 degree to 49 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and to 8 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and the oxygen environment. Change of surface phenomena in a keV ion beam and characteristics of the grown films are suggested.

Aluminum nitride(AlN) films were grown on the C-face and on the Si-face of (0001) silicon carbide(SiC) substrates using plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy(PA-MBE). This study was focused on first-stage growth manipulation prior to the start of AlN growth. Al pre-exposure, N-plasma pre-exposure, and simultaneous exposure(Al and N-plasma) procedures were used in the investigation. In addition, substrate polarity and, first-stage growth manipulation strongly affected the growth and properties of the AlN films. Al pre-exposure on the C-face and on the Si-face of SiC substrates prior to initiation of the AlN growth resulted in the formation of hexagonal hillocks on the surface. However, crack formation was observed on the C-face of SiC substrates without Al pre-exposure. X-ray rocking-curve measurements revealed that the AlN epilayers grown on the Si-face of the SiC showed relatively lower tilt and twist mosaic than did the epilayers grown on the C-face of the SiC. The results from the investigations reported in this paper indicate that the growth conditions on the Si-face of the SiC without Al pre-exposure was highly preferred to obtain the overall high-quality AlN epilayers formed using PA-MBE.

Selective area epitaxy of multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs structures were grown by chemical beam epitaxy. The width of top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs layer which were selectively grown on the stripe lines parallel to the <011> direction was narrowed, while the width of top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs layer on the stripe lines parallel to the <01-1> was widen. This difference according to the <011> and <01-1> direction was explained by the growth of InGaAs <311>A and B faces on the (100) InP surface on the stripe lines parallel to the <01-1> direction. Under growth rate of $1\;{\mu}m/h$, top of the multiple-stacked InP/InGaAs was flattened as the pressure of group V gas was decreased. This phenomenon was understood by the saturation of group V element on the surface.
