The valiclity of the simple mathematical model for facilitated transport in a solid state membrane developed previously has been examined againsts the carrier concentration and membrane thick-ness. Membranes are prepared with copolymer of styrene and 4-vinylpyridine as a matrix and Co(salen) as a carrier. 4-Vinylpyridine is incorporated to provide the coordination site for Co(salen) carrier. Oxygen permeability through the facilitated transport membrane is linearly increased with the square of its thick-ness, as predicted by the mathematical model. However, the oxygen permeability does not increase linearly with the carrier concentration. This seems to be due to the deactivation of the carrier by dimerization at high carrier concentrations as well as the reduced chain mobility by coordination of bulky Co(salen) carrier.

This paper, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films which were deposited on Corning glass substrate using an magnetron sputtering deposition technology and then the post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes at different temperature of 100, 200, 300, and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. So as to investigate the properties for the relevant the Concentration and Oxygen Vacancy with Annealing temperature of Ga-doped ZnO thin films by RF Sputtering method. The Carrier concentration is enhanced as annealing temperature decreases, and also the oxygen vacancy concentration is enhanced as annealing temperature decreased. Oxygen vacancy will decrease along with Carrier concentration. This change in Carrier concentration is related to changes in oxygen vacancy concentration. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that Ga-doped ZnO films which annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ have the lowest Carrier concentration and Oxygen vacancy, which have the highest optoelectrical performance that it could be used as a transparent electrode.

In this paper, the effects of carrier concentration on dielectric constant of ITO films were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry. From SE results, we find the pronounced shift of the ${\varepsilon}1$ peaks toward high energy with concentration; while contrarily, the ${\varepsilon}2$ values at low energy region increases with decreasing concentration. These shifts are attributed to the Burstein-Moss and free-carrier absorption effects within ITO films. With increases carrier concentration, the values of extinction coefficients show quite different behaviors in range of wavelength from 200 to 1200 nm. The reduction in k at ${\lambda}{\leq}500nm$, while increasing at ${\lambda}{\geq}500nm$ was observed. The QE of HJ solar cells behaviors can be roughly classified into two regions: short-wavelengths (${\leq}650nm$) and long-wavelengths region (${\geq}650nm$). With increasing carrier concentration as well as energy band gap, QE shows improvement at short-wavelength, while at long-wavelength QE shows opposite trend. Widening band gap energy due to Burstein-Moss shift is the key to improve QE in short-wavelength; simultaneously FCA effect due to optical scattering is attributed to the reduction in QE at long-wavelength. In spite of band gap extension, Jsc calculated from QE decreases from 34.7 mA/cm2 to 33.2 mA/cm2 with increasing carrier concentration. It demonstrated that FCA effect may more govern Jsc in the HJ solar cells.

We studied the dependence of hot-tarrier-induced degradation characteristics on nitrogen concentration in NO(Nitrided-Oxide) gate of nMOS, under ac and dc stresses. The $\Delta$V$_{t}$ and $\Delta$G$_{m}$ dependence of nitrogen concentration were observed, We observed that device degradation was suppressed significantly when the nitrogen concentration in the gate was increased. Compared to $N_2$O oxynitride, NO oxynitride gate devices show a smaller sensitivity to ac stress frequency. Results suggest that the improved at-hot carrier immunity of the device with NO gate may be due to the significantly suppressed interface state generation and neutral trap generation during stress.ess.

TFT (Thin Film Transistor)에서 공정을 단순화 시키고, 가격을 하락시키기 위해서는 Poly-Si을 대체할 물질이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 Chalcogenide Material의 하나인 GeTe 박막을 이용하여 TFT Channel으로 사용 가능한 물질인지 알아보기 위하여 Post-Annealing을 한 뒤, 상 변화에 따른 박막의 저항 변화, Carrier Concentration (cm-3)과 Mobility (cm2V-1s-1)의 변화를 알아보았다. Sputtering을 이용하여 증착한 GeTe 100 nm Thin Film 위에 Sputtering을 이용하여 SiO2 5 nm를 Capping Layer로 증착한 후, Post-Annealing을 200$^{\circ}C$, 300$^{\circ}C$, 400$^{\circ}C$, 500$^{\circ}C$로 온도를 변화 시키며 진행하였고, 이로 인하여 GeTe Thin Film에 외부의 영향을 최소화 하였다. 먼저 GeTe Thin Film의 Sheet Resistance를 측정한 결과는 300$^{\circ}C$ 까지 낮은 Sheet Resistance의 거동을 보이며 반면, 400$^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되면 높은 Sheet Resistance의 거동을 보인다. Hall Measurement를 통해, Carrier Concentration과 Mobility를 알아보았다. Carrier Concentration은 온도가 증가하면 1E+19에서 1E+21 까지 증가하며, Mobility는 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 500$^{\circ}C$ Post-Annealed GeTe Thin Film에서는 Resistivity가 상당히 높아 4 Point Probe (Range : 1 mohm/sq~2 Mohm/sq)로 측정이 불가능하다. XRD로 GeTe Thin Film을 분석한 결과 as-grown, 200$^{\circ}C$, 300$^{\circ}C$에서는 Cubic의 결정 구조를 보이며, Sheet Resistance가 급격히 증가한 400$^{\circ}C$, 500$^{\circ}C$에서는 Rhombohedral의 결정구조를 보인다. GeTe Thin Film은 400$^{\circ}C$ 이상의 Post-Annealing 온도에서 cubic 구조에서 Rhombohedral 구조로 상 변화가 일어난다. 위 결과를 통해, 결정 구조의 변화가 GeTe Thin Film의 저항, Carrier Concentration과 Mobility에 밀접한 영향이 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

Laboratory scale experiments to remove benzene in solution by using the bio-carrier composed of dead biomass have been performed. The immobilized bio-carrier with dead Bacillus drentensis sp. and polysulfone was manufactured as the biosorbent. Batch sorption experiments were performed with bio-carriers having various quantities of biomass and then, their removal efficiencies and uptake capacities were calculated. From results of batch experiments, 98.0% of the initial benzene (1 mg/L) in 1 liter of solution was removed by using 40 g of immobilized bio-carrier containing 5% biomass within 1 hour and the biosorption reaction reached in equilibrium within 2 hours. Benzene removal efficiency slightly increased (99.0 to $99.4%{\pm}0.05$) as the temperature increased from 15 to $35^{\circ}C$, suggesting that the temperature rarely affects on the removal efficiency of the bio-carrier. The removal efficiency changed under the different initial benzene concentration in solution and benzene removal efficiency of the bio-carrier increased with the increase of the initial benzene concentration (0.001 to 10 mg/L). More than 99.0% of benzene was removed from solution when the initial benzene concentration ranged from 1 to 10 mg/L. From results of fitting process for batch experimental data to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, the removal isotherms of benzene were more well fitted to Freundlich model ($r^2$=0.9242) rather than Langmuir model ($r^2$=0.7453). From the column experiment, the benzene removal efficiency maintained over 99.0% until 420 pore volumes of benzene solution (initial benzene concentration: 1 mg/L) were injected in the column packed with bio-carriers, investigating that the immobilized carrier containing Bacillus drentensis sp. and polysulfone is the outstanding biosorbent to remove benzene in solution.

This paper presents the mechanical properties of 3C-SiC thin film according to 0, 7, and 10% carrier gas $(H_2)$ concentrations using Nano Indentation. When carrier gas $(H_2)$ concentration was 10%, it has been proved that the mechanical properties, elastic modulus and hardness, of 3C-SiC are the best of them. In the case of 10% carrier gas concentration, Young's modulus and Hardness were obtained as 367 GPa and 36 GPa, respectively. When the surface roughness according to $H_2$ concentrations was investigated by AFM (atomic force microscope), when $H_2$ concentration was 10%, the roughness of 3C-SiC thin was 9.92 nm, which is also the best of them. Therefore, in order to apply poly 3C-SiC thin film to MEMS applications, $H_2$ concentration's rate should increase to obtain better mechanical properties and surface roughness.

Recently it was found that the charge carrier transport properties are significantly enhanced due to effective intermolecular $\pi$-orbital overlapping and low disorder of hopping sites caused by self-organization of liquid crystal molecules. In this study, the xerographic properties of a double-layer photoconductor doped with nematic liquid crystal, 4-pentyl-4'-cyanoterphenyl (5CT), as a charge-carrier transport material to enhance the charge-tarrier mobility were investigated. From the results of measured surface voltage properties for the photoconductor doped with various concentrations of liquid crystal, 5CT, the initial voltage was found to increase with the concentration of 5CT and the dark decay decreased with the concentration of 5CT. The highest sensitivity was obtained at a specific concentration, 40wt% 5CT. The fluorescence behavior of the carrier transport layer (CTL) was also investigated. It was found that the charge-carrier transport properties of the organic photoconductor depend on the charge-carrier transport properties of the complex. The TNF : 5CT (40 wt%) and OXD : 5CT (40 wt%)samples showed the highest sensitivity because the greatest charge transport complex was termed between the charge-carrier transport materials in these samples.

The diffusion coefficient of C.I. Disperse Red 4 in the dyeing of carrier-pretreated poly (ethylene terephthalate) film was Investigated by Sekido's film-rolled method. From the result it was shown that the diffusion coefficient increases exponentially with the content-ration of carrier in the film, and, for the films containing same concentration of carrier, the carrier effect was enhanced with the molar volume of the carriers. The greater carrier effect was accompanied by the decrease in diffusion activation energy and entropy, which shows that the carrier with larger molar volume plasticizes PET film to more extent.

The transport of Chromium(Vl) ion from waste water throughl the liquid surfactant membrane containing tri-n-octylamine as a carrier, was analyzed by a slab model and was investigated through experiments. For the experiment of membrane stability, concentrations of surfactant and liquid parafnn oil were analyzed. Extraction euperiments were carried out to observe the effect of system variables, such as stirring speed, concentration of carrier, and NaOH in internal aqueous phase, and concentrations of H$_2$SO$_4$and initial chromium(VI) ion in external aqueous phase at $25^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that the most stable formation of liquid membrane emulsion was obtained when surfactant concentration is above 3 wt. ％ and liquid parafnn oil concentration is 50 vol. ％. The transport of chromium(VI) ion in bacth extractor increased with increasing carrier concentration, the volume ratio of emulsion to external aqueous phases, and initial concentration of chromium(VI) ion under the optimum stirring speed of chromium(VI) ion below 2 ppm. The theoretical equation on the transport of chromium(Vl) ion agreed well with the experimental results.
