Niobium doped zirconium oxide (Nb-Zr-O:NZO) thin films were fabricated on Si substrates by a sol-gel technique with an annealing temperatures of $500{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ in air ($N_2:O_2=3:1$) for 20 minutes. It was found that the NZO film is based on tetragonal $ZrO_2$ polycrystalline structure with the Nb 5+ ion state and there is almost no diffusion of Nb or Zr to Si substrate. The relative dielectric constant for the NZO film with the Nb composition of 30 mol% and annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ was around 40. The root mean roughness was 1.02 nm. In addition, the leakage current of NZO films was as low as $10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at 4.4 V.

Yttrium (Y) and niobium (Nb) doped spherical $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ were synthesized to improve the energy density and electrochemical properties of anode material. The synthesized crystal was $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$, the particle size was less than $1{\mu}m$ and the morphology was spherical and well dispersed. The Y and Nb optimal doping amounts were 1 mol% and 0.5 mol%, respectively. The initial capacity of the dopant discharge and charge capacity were respectively 149mAh/g and 143 mAh/g and were significantly improved compared to the undoped condition at 129 mAh/g. Also, the capacity retention of 0.2 C/5 C was 74% for each was improved to 94% and 89%. It was consequently found that Y and Nb doping into the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ matrix reduces the polarization and resistance of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer during the electrochemical reaction.

The induction melting was employed to prepare Nb-doped $CoSb_3$ skutterudites and their thermoelectric properties were investigated. Single phase $\delta-CoSb_3$ was successfully obtained by induction melting and subsequent annealing at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs in vacuum. The positive signs of Seebeck coefficients for all the specimens revealed that Nb atoms acted as p-type dopants by substituting Co atoms. Electrical conductivity decreased and then increased with increasing temperature, indicating mixed conduction behavior. Electrical conductivity increased by Nb doping, and it was saturated at high temperature. Maximum value of the thermoelectric power factor was shifted to higher temperature with increasing the amount of Nb doping, mainly originated from the high Seebeck coefficient around mixed conduction temperature and high electrical conductivity.

본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$에 나이오븀 (Nb) 도펀트가 주입되었을 때의 활성화 에너지를 홀 효과 측정 시스템과 온도에 따른 photoluminescence (PL) 실험을 통하여 살펴보았다. Nb 이 도핑 된 n형 아나타제 $TiO_2$ 박막은 pulsed laser deposition (PLD) 기법으로 $SrTiO_3$기판에 성장되었다. 측정 결과, Nb 도너의 활성화 에너지 값은 홀 효과 측정에서는 14.52 meV, PL 측정에서는 6.72 meV로 다소 차이를 보였다. 이 결과는 기존의 어셉터 물질의 활성화 에너지들과는 차이를 나타내고 있으며, 향후 본 연구와 같은 shallow 도너 준위의 활성화 에너지 연구에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric thin films, $Bi_4$$Ti_3$$O_{12}$ / (BTO) and Nb-doped BTO (BTN) were prepared on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by a sol-gel route. We investigated the Nb-doping effect on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. $Nb^{5＋}$ ion substitution for $Ti^{4＋}$ ion in perovskite layers of BTO decreased the degree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polarization (2Pr). The fatigue resistance of Nb-doped BTO thin film was shown to be superior to that of BTO, and the leakage current of Nb-doped BTO thin film was decreased about 1 order of magnitude compared with BTO. The improvement of ferroelectric properties with $Nb^{5＋}$ doping in BTO could be attributed to the changes in space charge densities and grain orientation in the thin film.

Spinel cathode material $LiMn_2O_4$ is currently studied as a promising cathode material for lithium ion secondary batteries for future applications because of it is low cost, easy to be prepared and capable to be operated in high voltage range. However as a cathode material, $LiMn_2O_4$ performs a poor capacity retention which leads to short cycle life. In this study, stoichiometric $LiMn_2O_4$ was synthesized with granulation method with ion substitution to stabilize its structure and niobium doping to improve its conductivity. These well-mixed powders were calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours and its properties were investigated. Correlations of dopant and electrochemical properties were examined as well.

물의 광분해에 의한 수소생산을 위하여 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$)과 산화니오븀($Nb_2O_5$)을 이용하여 가시광선 감응 광촉매 개발을 본 연구의 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위하여 요소를 이용한 질소 도핑한 $TiO_2$, $Nb_2O_5$, $HNb_3O_8$ ($TiO_2-N$, $Nb_2O_5-N$와 $HNb_3O_8-N$)을 제조하였다. 그 결과 질소 도핑이 광촉매의 띠간격 에너지를 감소시킴으로써 excitation파장이 자외선 영역에서 가시광선 영역으로 이동한 것을 reflectance 관찰을 통해 알 수 있었다. 특히 $TiO_2-N$의 경우 띠 간격 에너지가 3.3 eV ($TiO_2$)에서 2.72 eV로 가장 큰 감소를 보였다. 또한, 가시광선 영역에서 로다민 B 광분해 반응을 통하여 광촉매의 활성도를 평가하였을 때, 질소 도핑한 경우($Nb_2O_5-N$와 $HNb_3O_8-N$)는 모두 80% 이상의 분해 효율을 나타내었으며 특히 $TiO_2-N$이 약 99.8%의 높은 분해율을 보여주었다. 그러나 질소 도핑을 하지 않은 $TiO_2$와 $Nb_2O_5$의 경우, 약 10% 의 로다민 B가 분해된 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 가시광선 영역에서 각 촉매의 광전류 생성을 비교해보았을 때, $HNb_3O_8-N$ ($63.7mA/cm^2$)이 가장 높은 전류 반응을 나타내었으며 물의 광분해에 의한 수소생산량을 비교해보면 $Nb_2O_5-N$이 $19.4{\mu}mol/h$의 가장 많은 양을 생산한 것으로 나타났다.
