In this review the methods for production and processing of isolated or agglomerated nanoscale metal particles embedded in organic liquids (nanosuspensions) and polymer matrix composites are elucidated. Emphasis is laid on the techniques of inert gas condensation (IGC) and high pressure sputtering for obtaining highly porous metal powders ("nanopowder") as well as on vacuum evaporation on running liquids for obtaining nanosuspensions. Functional properties and post-processing are outlined in view of applications in the fields of electrically conductive adhesives and anti-microbially active materials for medical articles and consumer goods.mer goods.

Organic molecules have many properties that make them attractive for electronic applications. We have been examining the progress of memory cell by using molecular-scale switch to give an example of the application using both nano scale components and Si-technology. In this study, molecular electronic devices were fabricated with amino style derivatives as redox-active component. This molecule is amphiphilic to allow monolayer formation by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and then this LB monolayer is inserted between two metal electrodes. According to the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, it was found that the devices show remarkable hysteresis behavior and can be used as memory devices at ambient conditions, when aluminum oxide layer was existed on bottom electrode. The diode-like characteristics were measured only, when Pt layer was existed as bottom electrode. It was also found that this metal layer interacts with organic molecules and acts as a protecting layer, when thin Ti layer was inserted between the organic molecular layer and Al top electrode. These electrical properties of the devices may be applicable to active components for the memory and/or logic gates in the future.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is one of the representative porous materials composed of metal ions and organic linkers. In spite of many advantages of the MOFs such as high specific surface area and ease of structure control, drawbacks have become obstacles to the practical use of them with poor electrical conductivity and chemical stability. The ZIF-8, which is consisted of zinc and imidazole linker, is one of the solutions to improve the chemical stability issue. In addition, composites using the ZIF-8 and carbonbased materials are widely used to enhance the electrical conductivity. In this regard, supercapacitor is very attractive field for using the composites, because most of carbon-based materials are porous and conductive. Also, for sensor applications, the ZIF-8 composite is suitable material to meet the requirement in terms of the selectivity and sensitivity. This review summarizes recent progress of the composite materials with the ZIF-8 and the carbon-based materials for the supercapacitors and the chemical sensors. In particular, the composites are classified into ZIF-8-graphene, ZIF-8-carbon nanotube and ZIF-8-other carbon-based material.

In this study, we have been synthesized the dielectric layer using pure organic and organic-inorganic hybrid precursor on flexible substrate for improving of the organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and, design and fabrication of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) using small-molecule organic semiconductors with pentacene as the active layer with record device performance. In this work OTFT test structures fabricated on polymerized substrates were utilized to provide a convenient substrate, gate contact, and gate insulator for the processing and characterization of organic materials and their transistors. By an adhesion development between gate metal and PI substrate, a PI film was treated using $O_2$ and $N_2$ gas. The best peel strength of PI film is 109.07 gf/mm. Also, we have studied the electric characteristics of pentacene field-effect transistors with the polymer gate-dielectrics such as cyclohexane and hybrid (cyclohexane+TEOS). The transistors with cyclohexane gate-dielectric has higher field-effect mobility, $\mu_{FET}=0.84\;cm^2/v_s$, and smaller threshold voltage, $V_T=-6.8\;V$, compared with the transistor with hybrid gate-dielectric.

ZnO Oxide TFT with organic dielectric was prepared. ZnO thin film as active channel was prepared by plasma enhanced atomic deposition technique. Organic dielectric was spin coated on the gate metal. The structure of prepared TFT is bottom gate type and top contact structure. The characterization of oxide TFT was performed. We obtained the mobility of $0.7cm^2$/Vs, the threshold voltage of -14V, and the on-off ratio of $10^4$. We also obtained good output characterization with solid saturation.

We investigated the effect of quinolate metal complex layer as an electron injection layer on the performance of OLEDs and optimized the device efficiency by varying from 0.5 to 10nm thickness of Liq layer. OLED with a structure of indium tin oxide/$\alpha$-napthylphenylbiphenyl(NPB,40nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum(Alq3, 50nm)/Aluminum(150nm) were fabricated in sequence. The device with 1nm Quinolate metal complex layer showed significant enhancement of the device performance.

Organic molecules have many properties that make them attractive for electronic applications. We have been examining the progress of memory cell by using molecular-scale switch to give an example of the application using both nanoscale components and Si-technology. In this study, molecular electronic devices were fabricated with amion style derivatives as redox-active component to compare to the devices using Zn-Porphyrin derivatives. This molecule is amphiphilic to allow monolayer formation by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, and then this LB monolayer is inserted between two metal electrodes. According to current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, it was found that the devices show remarkable hysteresis behavior and can be used as memory devices at ambient conditions, when aluminum oxide layer was existed on bottom electrode.

A multidimensional ZnO light-emitting diode LEDstructure comprising film/nanorods/substrate was fabricated on a p-type Si substrate using metal organic chemical vapor deposition at relatively low growth temperature. The filmlike top layer used for the metal contact was continuously formed on the ZnO nanorods by varying the growth conditions and the resulting structure allowed us to utilize the nanorods with intense emission as an active layer. We investigated the performance of the resulting multidimensional LED. An extremely high breakdown voltage and low reverse leakage current as well as typical rectification behavior were observed in the I-V characteristics.

We report on the synthesis and film formation on a variety of small molecules such as $Alq_3$, $Znq_2$, and $Inq_3$, used as light emitting material in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) . The organic materials are usually susceptible to environmental aging and photo-oxidation, which influences their viability for commercial utility. Here, we examine the effects of oxygen and light on these organic materials to enhance the efficiency and lifetime of OLEDs. Optical techniques - ellipsometry, photoluminescence and infrared spectroscopies- have been used to study of environmental and light induced effects on 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative metal complex small molecules thin films

We report the space charge and the surface potential of the interface between metal and CuPc according to isotropic property and different metal by measuring the microwave reflection coefficients $S_{11}$ of copper(II)-phthalocyanine(CuPc) thin films by using a near-field microwave microscope(NSMM) in order to understand. CuPc thin films were prepared on gold and aluminium substrates using a thermal evaporation method. Two kinds of CuPc thin films were prepared. One was deposited on preheated substrate at $150^{\circ}C$ and the other was annealed after deposition by using thermal evaporation methods. The microwave reflection coefficients $S_{11}$ of CuPc thin films were changed by the dependence on the heat treatment conditions. By comparing reflection coefficient $S_{11}$ we measured electrical conductivity of CuPc thin films and studied this results with respect to the surface potential and space charge of the interface between metal and CuPc thin films.
