ZnS 화합물은 근자외선 영역의 직접천이형 띠 간격을 갖으며 청색 발광 다이오드나 레이저의 소재로 기대되는 물질이다. 결정구조는 X선 회절무늬를 분석한 결과 zinc blonde구조임을 알 수 있었다. 격자상수는 $a_o=5.411{\AA}$이었다. ZnS단결정의 광학적 흡수, 광전류와 광발광 스펙트럼 등 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 광학적 띠간격 에너지는 3.61eV이었고 $800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 ZnS의 띠 간격 에너지는 광전류 측정 결과 as-grown-ZnS에 비하여 0.1eV 정도 작아짐을 알 수 었었다. 광발광 스펙트럼은 30K에서 293K까지 as-grown-ZnS와 $800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 경우에 대하여 각각 측정되었다.

Silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) were synthesized by etching silicon nanopowder with aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF) and nitric acid ($HNO_3$). Then, the hydride-terminated Si QDs (H-Si QDs) were functionalized by 1- octadecene (ODE). By only controlling the etching time, the maximum luminescence peak of octadecylterminated Si QDs (ODE-Si QDs) was tuned from 404 nm to 507 nm. The average optical gap was increased from 2.60 eV (ODE-Si QDs-5 min) for 5 min of etching to 3.20 eV (ODE-Si QDs-15 min) for 15 min of etching, and to 3.40 eV (ODE-Si QDs-30 min) for 30 min of etching. The electron affinities (EA), ionization potentials (IP), and quasi-particle gap (${\varepsilon}^{qp}_{gap}$) of the Si QDs were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The quasi-particle gaps obtained from the CV were in good agreement with the average optical gap values from UV-vis absorption. In the case of the ODE-Si QDs-30 min sample, the difference between the quasi-particle gap and the average optical gap gives the electron-hole Coulombic interaction energy. The additional electronic levels of the ODE-Si QDs-30 min and ODE-Si QDs-15 min samples determined by the CV results are interpreted to have originated from the Si=O bond terminating Si QD.

We investigated the optical properties of Ge1-xSex and Ge1-x-ySexAsy amorphous semiconductor films using spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy. The dielectric functions and absorption coefficients of the amorphous films were determined from the measured ellipsometric angles. We obtained the optical gap energies and Urbach energies from the absorption coefficients, and found a strong bowing effect in the optical gap energy of Ge1-x-ySexAsy where the endpoint binaries were Ge0.50Se0.50 and Ge0.31As0.69. Based on the correlation between optical gap energies and Urbach energies, the large bowing parameter was attributed to the electronic disorder. We found the composition dependence of several phonon modes using Raman spectroscopy. For Ge1-x-ySexAsy, the D mode (232-267 cm-1) changed from As-As (or As3 pyramid), to As(Se1/2)3 pyramid, and finally to Se clusters, as the Se composition increased. Resonant Raman phenomenon was observed in Ge0.38Se0.62 at a laser excitation of 514 nm (2.41 eV). We verified that this laser energy corresponds to the transition energy of Ge0.38Se0.62 using the second derivative of the dielectric function of Ge0.38Se0.62.

To widen the band gap of ZnO, we have investigated $Zn_{1-x}Mg_xO(ZMO)$ thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition on c-plane sapphire substrates at $500^{\circ}C$. From X-ray diffraction patterns, ZMO films show only the (0002) and (0004) diffraction peaks. It means that the flints have the wurtzite structure. Segregation of ZnO and MgO phases is found in the films with x=0.59. All the samples are highly transparent in the visible region and have a sharp absorption edge in the UV region. The shift of absorption edge to higher energy is observed in the films with higher Mg composition. The excitonic nature of the films is clearly appeared in the spectra for all alloy compositions. The optical band-gap ($E_g$) of ZMO films is obtained from the ${\alpha}^2$ vs Photon energy plot assuming ${\alpha}^2\;\propto$ (hv - $E_g$), where u is the absorption coefficient and hv is the photon energy. The value of $E_g$ increases up to 3.72 eV for the films with x=0.35. It is important to adjust Mg composition control for controlling the band-gap of ZMO films.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited using atomic layer deposition. The electrical and optical properties were characterized using Hall measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The electronic concentration and the mobility were found to be critically dependent on the deposition temperature, exhibiting increased resistivity and reduced electronic mobility at low temperature. The corresponding optical properties were measured as a function of photon energy ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 eV. The simulated extinction coefficients allowed the determination of optical band gaps, i.e., ranging from 3.36 to 3.41 eV. The electronic carrier concentration appears to be related to the reduction in the corresponding band gap in ZnO thin films.

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.

The structural, electrical, and optical properties of layer-by-layer ZnO nanoparticles deposited using sol-gel spin coating technique were studied and now presented. Thicknesses of the thin films were varied by increasing the number of deposited layers. As part of our characterization process, XRD and FE-SEM were used to characterize the structural properties, current-voltage measurements for the electrical properties, and UV-Vis spectra and photoluminescence spectra for the optical properties of the ZnO thin films. ZnO thin films with thicknesses ranging from 14.2 nm to 62.7 nm were used in this work. Film with thickness of 42.7 nm gave the lowest resistivity among all, $1.39{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Photoluminescence spectra showed two peaks which were in the UV emission centered at 380 nm, and visible emission centered at 590 nm. Optical transmittance spectra of the samples indicated that all films were transparent (>88%) in the visible-NIR range. The optical band gap energy was estimated to be 3.21~3.26 eV, with band gap increased with the thin film thickness.

Aluminium (Al)-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films with different Al concentrations were prepared by the solgel spin-coating method. Optical parameters such as the optical band gap, absorption coefficient, refractive index, dispersion parameter, and optical conductivity were studied in order to investigate the effects of the Al concentration on the optical properties of AZO thin films. The dispersion energy, single-oscillator energy, average oscillator wavelength, average oscillator strength, and refractive index at infinite wavelength of the AZO thin films were found to be affected by Al incorporation. The optical conductivity of the AZO thin films also increases with increasing photon energy.

In this study, the effect of high-energy proton irradiation on the optical properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films was investigated. PAN thin films spin-coated on a substrate were irradiated 150 keV proton ions at various fluences. The changes in the chemical structure and optical properties were investigated by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results of the FT-IR analysis revealed that the cyclization reaction took place by proton irradiation and the degree of cyclization increased with an increasing fluence. Based on the UV-vis analysis, the optical band gap of PAN decreased from 2.84 to 2.52 eV with an increasing fluence due to the formation of carbon clusters by proton irradiation. In addition, the number of carbon atoms per carbon cluster and the number of carbon atoms per conjugation length were found to be increased with an increasing fluence.
