The physical properties, including magneto-optical and transport ones, of Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy in the martensitic and austenitic states were investigated. The dependence of the temperature coefficient of resistivity on temperature shows kinks at the structural and ferro-para magnetic transitions. Electron-magnon and electron-phonon scattering are analyzed to be the dominant scattering mechanisms of the Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy in the martensitic and austenitic states, respectively. The experimental real parts of the off-diagonal components of the dielectric function present two sharp peaks, one at 1.9 eV and the other at 3.2 eV, and a broad shoulder at 3.5 eV, all are identified by the band-structure calculations. These peak positions are coincident with those in the corresponding optical-conductivity spectrum, which is thought to originate from the single-spin state in Ni$_2$MnG$_2$ alloy.

Interest in flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) has been growing recently mainly due to the demand for electrodes incorporated in flexible or wearable displays in the future. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, which have been traditionally used as the TCFs, have a serious obstacle in TCFs applications. SWNTs are the most appropriate materials for conductive films for displays due to their excellent high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. In this work, the fabrication by the spraying process of transparent SWNT films and reduction of its sheet resistance on PET substrates is researched Arc-discharge SWNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then was doped with Au-ionic doping treatment, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. This was confirmed and discussed on the XPS and UPS studies. We show that 87 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ sheet resistances with 81% transmittance at the wavelength of 550nm. The changes in electrical and optical conductivity of SWNT film before and after Au-ionic doping treatments were discussed. The effect of Au-ion treatment on the electronic structure change of SWNT films was investigated by Raman and XPS.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)은 높은 전기 전도도, 광학적 투과성 및 좋은 화학적 안정성을 가지고 있는 반면 낮은 물리화학적 물성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적으로 PEDOT의 내용제성 및 필름경도와 같은 물리화학적 특성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 음이온성 수성폴리우레탄(WPU)이 가지는 카르복실기는 아지리딘 존재 하에서 효과적인 가교반응이 일어나 물리화학적 특성이 개선된 WPU/PEDOT 혼성 전도성 박막을 제조할 수 있다. 다양한 WPU 및 고형분 함량별로 WPU/PEDOT 유기-유기 혼성 박막을 제조하여 전기적/물리화학적 특성을 비교하였다. 고형분 함량이 증가할수록 투과율과 표면저항은 감소하였다. WPU/PEDOT 혼성 전도성 박막의 연필경도와 내용제성이 WPU가 가지는 카르복실기의 가교반응에 인해 효과적으로 증가하였다.

In this work, in order to effectively improve the electrical conductivity and visible light transmittance of ZnO thin films, ZnO single layer and ZnO/Ag bi-layer films were deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency and direct current magnetron sputtering, and then, the effects of an Ag buffer layer and electron beam irradiation on the electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated. The observed results indicate that ZnO 100 nm / Ag 7 nm films show higher opto-electrical performance than the ZnO single layer film. In addition, electron beam irradiation also effectively enhanced the visible transmittance and electrical conductivity of the ZnO/Ag bi-layer films.

This paper explored the effect of deposition conditions on the characteristics of copper oxide (CuO_x) thin films prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction exhibited that CuO with n-type conductivity was the main composition regardless of the DC magnetron sputtering power whereas the phase transition from n-type CuO to p-type Cu₂O was observed with decreasing the oxygen pressure (OP) from 40 to 20%. The optical band gap ranges of 1.6-1.9 eV, which are characteristic of n-type CuO, were determined for samples prepared with OPs of 30-40% while the optical band gap of 2.3 eV, which is characteristic of p-type Cu₂O, was measured for samples prepared with an OP of 20%. In addition, only Cu⁺ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) peak at the ~932.6 eV position exists in the films deposited with an OP of 20%, whereas only Cu²⁺ XPS peaks at ~934.2 eV and in the range of 940-945 eV are observed in the films deposited with an OP of 40%. Furthermore, as a result of XPS depth profile analysis, it was confirmed that the composition ratio of the sample prepared at an OP of 20% was Cu₂O, whereas the composition ratio of the sample prepared at an OP of 40% was CuO. These suggest that the CuO_x thin films could be constantly converted from n-type CuO to p-type Cu₂O by decreasing the oxygen partial pressure. Thin film transistors with Cu₂O deposited at 20% OP revealed p-type characteristics such as onset voltage (V_ON) of -3 V, saturated hole mobility of 8 cm²/Vs at V_GS = -28 V, subthreshold swing of 0.86 V/decade at V_GS-V_ON = -0.5 V, and on/off ratio of 1.14 × 10³.

Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were grown on soda-lime glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method at room temperature (RT), and they were post-annealed at the temperatures of $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in vacuum. The electronic structure, optical and electrical properties of NiO thin films were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reflection electron energy spectroscopy (REELS), UV-spectrometer and Hall Effect measurements, respectively. XPS results showed that the NiO thin films grown at RT and post annealed at temperatures below $300^{\circ}C$ had the NiO phase, but, at $400^{\circ}C$, the nickel metal phase became dominant. The band gaps of NiO thin films post annealed at temperatures below $300^{\circ}C$ were about 3.7 eV, but that at $400^{\circ}C$ should not be measured clearly because of the dominance of Ni metal phase. The NiO thin films post-annealed at temperatures below $300^{\circ}C$ showed p-type conductivity with low electrical resistivity and high optical transmittance of 80% in the visible light region, but that post-annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ showed n-type semiconductor properties, and the average transmittance in the visible light region was less than 42%. Our results demonstrate that the post-annealing plays a crucial role in enhancing the electrical and optical properties of NiO thin films.

Transparent, conductive electrode films, showing the particular characteristics of good conductivity and high transparency, are of considerable research interest because of their potential for use in opto-electronic applications, such as smart window, photovoltaic cells and flat panel displays. Multilayer transparent electrodes, having a much lower electrical resistance than widely-used transparent conducting oxide electrodes, were prepared by using RF/DC magnetron sputtering system. The multilayer structure consisted of three layers, [NiInZnO(NIZO)/Ag/NIZO]. The optical and electrical properties of the multilayered NIZO/Ag/NIZO structure were investigated in relation to the thickness of each layer. The optical and electrical characteristics of multilayer structures have been investigated as a function of the Ag and NIZO film thickness. High-quality transparent conductive films have been obtained, with sheet resistance of $9.8{\Omega}/sq$ for Ag film thickness of 8 nm. Also the multilayer films of inserted Ag 8 nm thickness showed a high optical transmittance above 93% in the visible range. The electrical and optical properties of the new multilayer films were mainly dependent on the thickness of Ag insertion layer.

Transparent conducting films having a hybrid structure of GZO/Metal/GZO were prepared on glass substrates by sequential deposition using DC magnetron sputtering. Silver, copper, aluminum and zinc thin films were used as the intermediate metal layers in the hybrid structure. The electrical and optical properties of hybrid transparent conducting films were investigated with varying the thickness of metal layer or GZO layers. With increasing the metal thickness, hybrid films showed a noticeable improvement of the electrical conductivity, which is mainly dependent on the electrical property of the metal layer. GZO(40 nm)/Ag(10 nm)/GZO(40 nm) film exhibits a resistivity of $5.2{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with an optical transmittance of 82.8%. For the films with Zn interlayer, only marginal reduction in the resistivity was observed. Furthermore, unlike other metals, hybrid films with Zn interlayer showed a decrease in the resistivity with increasing the GZO thickness. The optimal thickness of GZO layer for anti-reflection effect at a given thickness of metal (10 nm) was found to be critically dependent on the refractive index of the metal. In addition, x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the insertion of Ag layer resulted in the improvement of crystallinity of GZO films, which is beneficial for the electrical and optical properties of hybrid-type transparent conducting films.
