To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g$(T) 1.9501 eV - ($8.79\times10^{-4}$ eV/K)$T^2$/(T + 250 K). After the as-grown $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Ag-, Se-, and Ga-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{Ag}$, $V_{Se}$, $Ag_{int}$, and $Se_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Ag-atmosphere converted $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in $AgGaSe_2$/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

Ag (silver)의 일함수는 T-OLED (Top Emission Organic Light Emitting Diode)의 전극소자로 사용하기에는 다소 낮다는 단점이 있다(~4.3 eV). 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 Ag 박막의 표면을 플라즈마, UV, 열처리를 통하여 일함수를 높이는 연구가 진행되어 왔다(~5.0 eV). 하지만 현재의 대부분 연구는 후 처리된 박막의 일함수에 초점을 맞춰 연구가 진행되어, 박막의 mechanical property에 대한 연구는 매우 부족하며 이는 T-OLED의 효율과 수명 등의 연구에 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 Ag와 $AgO_x$ 박막의 mechanical property에 초점을 맞춰 분석을 실시하였다. Ag는 유리기판 위에 rf-magnetron sputter를 이용하여 100 W의 power에서 150 nm 두께로 증착되었다. 증착된 박막은 UV 램프를 이용하여 다양한 시간동안 UV 처리되었다(0~9분). 본 논문에서는 처리된 박막의 면저항을 측정하고 nano indenter, Scanning Probe Microscopy의 Atomic Force Microscopy mode를 이용하여 mechanical property를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 UV 처리 시간이 3분을 넘어가는 시편과 3분 이내의 시편은 면저항값 및 경도 값에 큰 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 Ag 박막의 후처리에 따른 Ag 물질의 산화 및 결합상태에 따라 박막 내에 존재하는 stress의 영향으로 예상되어진다.

Single crystal $AgGaSe_{2}$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $AgGaSe_{2}$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $AgGaSe_{2}$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.05{\times}10^{16}/cm^{3}$, $139cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_{2}$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_{g}(T)$=1.9501 eV-($8.79{\times}10^{-4}{\;}eV/K)T^{2}$/(T+250 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $AgGaSe_{2}$ have been estimated to be 0.3132 eV and 0.3725 eV at 10 K, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}So$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_{5}$ states of the valence band of the $AgGaSe_{2}$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1}-$, $B_{1}-$, and $C_{1}-$exciton peaks for n=1.

The $AgInS_{2}$ epilayers with a chalcopyrite structure grown using a hot-wall epitaxy method have been confirmed to be a high quality crystal. From the optical absorption measurements, a temperature dependence of the energy band gap on $AgInS_{2}/GaAs$ was found to be $Eg(T)=2.1365eV-(9.89{\times}10^{-3}eV)T^{2}/(2930+T)$. After the as-grown $AgInS_{2}/GaAs$ was annealed in Ag-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $AgInS_{2}/GaAs$ has been investigated by using photoluminescence measurements at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Ag},\;V_{S},\;Ag_{int}$ and $S_{int}$ obtained from photoluminescence measurements were classified as donors or accepters. It was concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted $AgInS_{2}/GaAs$ to an optical p-type. Also, it was confirmed that In in $AgInS_{2}/GaAs$ did not form the native defects because In in $AgInS_{2}$ did exist in the stable form.

본 연구에서는 은이온이 이온 교환되어 있는 수처리제(Ag-Os)의 영향을 Bacillus sp. 와 E. Coli RB 797을 사용하여 연구하였다. Bacillus sp.의 성장이 E. Coli RB 797의 성장에서보다 더 은이온에 민감하게 억제됨을 보였다. 성장억제에 필요되어지는 Ag-Os양은 0.2 mg/ml 이상에서 E. Coli RB 797를 0.02 mg/ml 이상에서 Bacillus sp. 의 성장을 저해하며 Ag-Os 수처리제의 존재하에서 생존 할 수 있는 세포 수도 E. Coli RB 797이 더 많음을 보여 윗 결과와 일치함을 보였다. 세포에 bind되는 것은 몇 분안에 일어 나는 과정이며 starved cells에서도 일어나는 에너지를 필요치 않는 과정임을 Binding연구는 나타내고 있다. 또한 Bacillus sp.의 은이온 binding이 더 많이 일어남을 보여준다. 수처리제의 존재하에서 reducing substances가 생성됨을 methylene blue를 indicatr로 사용하여 관찰하였다. 이상의 결과로 이 수처리제는 E. Coli RB 797과 Bacillus sp. 에 대해 효과적이며 은이온은 빠르고 에너지를 필요로 하지 않는 과정에 의해 세포에 bind한후 세포내로 들어가 sulfur group과 반응할 것으로 사료된다.

A silver indium sulfide($AgInS_2$) epilayer was grown by the hot wall epitaxy method, which has not been reported in the literature. The grown $AgInS_2$ epilayer has found to be a chalcopyrite structure and evaluated to be high qualify crystal. From the photocurrent measurement in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K, the two peaks of A and B were only observed, whereas the three peaks of A, B, and C were seen in the PC spectrum of 10 K. These peaks. are ascribed to the band-to-band transition. The valence band splitting of $AgInS_2$ was investigated by means of the photocurrent measurement. The crystal field splitting, $\ddot{A}cr$, and the spin orbit splitting, $\ddot{A}so$, have been obtained to be 0.150 eV and 0.009 eV at 10 K, respectively. And, the energy band gap at room temperature has been determined to be 1.868 eV. Also, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap, $E_g(T)$, was determined.

수평 전기로에서 $AgInSe_2$다결정을 합성하여 HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy) 방법으로 $AgInSe_2$ 단결정 박막을 반절연성 GaAs(100) 위에 성장하였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막은 증발원과 기판의 온도를 각각 $610^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$로 성장하였다. 이때 성장된 단결정 박막의 두께는 3.8$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 단결정 박막의 결정성의 조사에서 20 K에서 측정한 광발광 스펙트럼은 884.1nm(1.4024eV) 근처에서 excition emission 스펙트럼이 가장 강하게 나타났으며, 또한 이중결정 X-선 회절곡선(DCXD)의 반폭치(FWHM)도 125arcsec로 매우 작은 값으로 측정되어 최적 성장 조건임을 알 수 있었다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 온도에 의존하는 운반자 농도와 이동도는 293K에서 각각 $9.58{\times}10^{22} electron/m^3,\; 3.42{\times}10^{-2}m^2/V{\cdot}s$였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막의 광전류 단파장대 봉우리들로부터 20K에서 측정된 $\Delta$Cr(Crystal field splitting)은 0.12eV, $\Delta$So(spin orbit coupling)는 0.29 eV였다. 20K에서 얻어진 광발광 봉우리들 중에서 881.1nm(1.4071 eV)와 882.4nm(1.4051 eV)는 free exciton$E_x$의 upper polariton과 lower polariton인$E_x^U$와 $E_x^L$를 의미하며, 884.1nm(1.4024 eV)는 donor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_2$봉우리를, 885.9nm(1.3995 eV)는 acceptor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_1$ 봉우리를 각각 나타내었다. 또한 887.5nm(1.3970 eV)에서 관측된 봉우리는 DAP(donor-acceptor pair)에 기인하는 광발광 봉우리로 해석되었다.

The AgInS$_2$epilayers with chalcopyrite structure grown by using a hot-wall epitaxy (HWE) method have been confirmed to be a high quality crystal. From the optical absorption measurement, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap on the AgInS$_2$/GaAs was derived as the Varshni's relation of Eg(T)=2.1365 eV-(9.89${\times}$10$\^$-3/ eV)T$^2$/(2930+T). After the as-grown AgInS$_2$/GaAs was annealed in Ag-,S-, and In-atmosphere, the origin of point defects of the AgInS$_2$/GaAs has been investigated by using the photoluminescence (PL) at 10 K. The native defects of V$\_$Ag/, V$\_$s/, Ag$\_$int/, and S$\_$int/ obtained from PL measurement were classified to donors or acceptors type. And, we concluded that the heat-treatment in the S-atmosphere converted the AgInS$_2$/GaAs to optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that the In in the AgInS$_2$/GaAs did net from the native defects because the In in AgInS$_2$did exist as the form of stable bonds.
