Electrolunlinescent devices based on conjugated polymer emitting materials have been much attracted possible applications for multicolor flat panel display, since the conjugated polymers have a small band gap emitting obtained at a low driving voltage. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using poly(3-hexylthiophene) as emitting material Electroluminescence(EL) and I-V-L characteristics of indium-tin-oxide[ITO]P3HT/AI device with a various thickness were investigated. It was demonstrate that the I-V characteristics depend, not the voltage but the electric- field strength, The current is dependent on the electric filed and not on the applied voltage, indicating that the carriers are injected by a tunneling process. In the device, the barrier to hole injection is only 0.5eV and the barrier to electron injection is 1.5eV.

Titanium (Ti) doped indium oxide (In₂O₃) films were deposited on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering and the films were rapid thermal annealed at 100, 200, and 300℃, respectively to investigate the influence of the rapid annealing on the opto-electrical performance of the films. The grain size of In₂O₃ (222) plane increased with annealing temperatures and their electrical resistivity decreased to as low as 8.86×10^-4 Ωcm at 300℃. The visible transmittance also improved from 77.1 to 79.5% when the annealing temperature increased. The optical band gap of the TIO films shifted from 4.010 to 4.087 eV with increases in annealing temperature from room temperature to 300℃. The figure of merit shows that the TIO films annealed at 300℃ had better optical and electrical performance than the other films prepared using lower-temperature or no annealing.

We considered the ion and photo-induced properties as a function of wavelength by exposing the light over the band gap of a-Ag/a-$Se_{75}$$Ge_{25}$ and the low-energy defocused $Ga^{+}$ ion beam on Ag/a-$Se_{75}$$Ge_{25}$ thin film. This film acts as a negative resist for photo or ion beam lithography. We observed that the absorbance coefficient decreased with increasing the photo-exposing time and exposing the ion beam. The bandgap shifts toward longer wavelength called a "darkening effect" are observed in the films exposed to both photons and ions. We suggest that a primary step in the Ag layer and a secondary step is in a-$Se_{75}$$Ge_{25}$ film layer.

We fabricate the conductive zinc oxide(ZnO) thin film using UV-enhanced atomic layer deposition. ZnO is semiconductor with a wide band gap(3.37eV) and transparent in the visible region. ZnO can be deposited with various method, such as metal organic chemical vapour deposition, magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser ablation deposition. In this experiment, ZnO thin films was deposited by atomic layer deposition using diethylzinc (DEZ) and D.I water as precursors with UV irradiation during water dosing. As a function of UV exposure time, the resistivity of ZnO thin films decreased dramatically. We were able to confirm that UV irradiation is one of the effective way to improve conductivity of ZnO thin film. The resistivity was investigated by 4 point probe. Additionally, we confirm the thin film composition is ZnO by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We anticipate that this UV-enhanced ZnO thin film can be applied to electronics or photonic devices as transparent electrode.

Electrically tunable photonic band gap (PBG) materials based on crystalline structures have been developed for active components of display. Despite considerable advances, the intrinsic drawbacks of the crystalline PBG materials such as the strong angle dependent hue and difficulty of fabricating defect-free structures in large area have yet to be addressed for their practical applications. Here we report quasi-amorphous colloidal structures exhibiting angle-independent photonic colors in response to the electric stimuli. Moderately polydisperse colloidal Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents exclusively form quasi-amorphous photonic materials at sufficiently high concentrations (> 30 wt%), and which reversibly reflect incident light in visible region ($\lambda$ peak = 490~655 nm) in response to the relatively low bias voltage (0~4 V). We show the angle-independent tunable photonic colors with the fast response time (50~170 ms) due to the isotropic nature of quasi-amorphous structures. Conventional vacuum injection technique is applicable for fabricating flexible full color photonic display pixels with various pre-defined shapes.

In this study, $Ag_2Se$ nanoparticles were synthesized by employing the colloidal method. The synthesized $Ag_2Se$ nanocrystals were spherical in shape with a diameter of approximately 4 nm and had high crystallinity. These attributes of $Ag_2Se$ nanocrystals were determined through images obtained from a high resolution transmission electron microscope. Thin films comprising the synthesized $Ag_2Se$ nanoparticles had an optical band gap of 1.5 eV. Furthermore, fabricated NIR sensors comprising $Ag_2Se$ nanoparticles exhibited a high detectivity of $5.5{\times}10^9$ Jones (above $1{\times}10^9$) at room temperature, leading to low power consumption

Quantum dots (QDs) are an attractive material for application in solar energy conversion devices because of their unique properties including facile band-gap tuning, a high-absorption coefficient, low-cost processing, and the potential multiple exciton generation effect. Recently, highly efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) have been developed based on CdSe, PbS, CdS, and Cu-In-Se QDs. However, for the commercialization and wide application of these QDSCs, replacing the conventional rigid glass substrates with flexible substrates is required. Here, we demonstrate flexible CISe QDSCs based on vertically aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube (NT) electrodes. The highly uniform $TiO_2$ NT electrodes are prepared by two-step anodic oxidation. Using these flexible photoanodes and semi-transparent Pt counter electrodes, we fabricate the QDSCs and examine their photovoltaic properties. In particular, photovoltaic performances are optimized by controlling the nanostructure of $TiO_2$ NT electrodes.

Photocatalysts are advanced materials which accelerate the photoreaction by providing ordinary reactions with other pathways. The catalysts have various advantages, such as low-cost, low operating temperature and pressure, and long-term use. They are applied to environmental and energy field, including the air and water purification, water splitting for hydrogen production, sterilization and self-cleaning surfaces. However, commercial photocatalysts only absorb ultraviolet light between 100 and 400 nm of wavelength which comprises only 5% in sunlight due to the wide band gap. In addition, rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs reduces the photocatalytic performance. Recently, studies on blackening photocatalysts by laser, thermal, and plasma treatments have been conducted to enhance the absorption of visible light and photocatalytic activity. The disordered structures could yield mid-gap states and vacancies could cause charge carrier trapping. Herein, liquid phase plasma (LPP) is adopted to synthesize Ag-doped black ZnO for the utilization of visible-light. The physical and chemical characteristics of the synthesized photocatalysts are analyzed by SEM/EDS, XRD, XPS and the optical properties of them are investigated using UV/Vis DRS and PL analyses. Lastly, the photocatalytic activity was evaluated using methylene blue as a pollutant.

Push-pull-type copolymers - low-band-gap copolymers of electron-rich fused-ring units (such as cyclopentadithiophene; CPDT) and electron-deficient units (such as benzothiadiazole; BT) - are promising donor materials for organic solar cells. Following a design principles proposed in our previous study, we investigate the electronic structure of a series of new CPDTBT derivatives with various electron-withdrawing groups using the time-dependent density functional theory and predict their power conversion efficiency from a newlydeveloped protocol using the Scharber diagram. Significantly improved efficiencies are expected for derivatives with carbonyl [C=O], carbonothioyl [C=S], dicyano [$C(CN)_2$] and dicyanomethylene [C=$C(CN)_2$] groups, but these polymers with no long alkyl side chain attached to them are likely to be insoluble in most organic solvents and inapplicable to low-cost solution processes. We thus devise several approaches to attach alkyl side chains to these polymers while keeping their high efficiencies.
