The energy band gaps and optical constants of zincblende $In_yGa_{1-y}As_{1-x}N_x$ on the variation of temperature and composition are determined by using band anticrossing method. The energy band gaps are decreasing continuously in $In_yGa_{1-y}As_{1-x}N_x$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05$, $0{\leq}y{\leq}1.0$, 300K) and the bowing parameter is calculated as 0.522eV. The calculation results of energy band gaps are consistent with those of other studies. A refractive index n and a high-frequency dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}$ are calculated by a proposed modeling equation using the results of energy band gaps.

$Pb_{1-x}$ $Cd_{x}$ $I_2$ (x=0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0) single crystals were grown by using Bridgman method and their structural and optical properties were investigated from the measurement of X-ray diffraction, optical absorption and photoluminescence. As-grown single crystals have hexagonal closed packed layered structure. The values of lattice constant c decrease with increasing composition x. Direct and indirect transition optical energy band gaps are calculated from optical absorption spectra measured at room temperature. They increase exponentially from 2.3eV to 3.2 eV with increasing composition x. The energies of photoluminescence peak due to donor bound exciton measured at 6K increase with increasing composition . However, the peak energies of donor-acceptor pair (DAP) are independent of the optical energy band gaps of $Pb_{1-x}$/$Cd_{x}$ $I_2$ single crystals.

In this work $Cd_4GeS_6:Co^{2+}$(0.5mole%) single crystals were grown by the chemical transporting reactiov(CTR) method using high purity(6N) elements. The grown single crystals crystallized in a monoclinic structure(space group Cc). The direct optical energy gap of this single crystals was found to be 2.445eV at 300K and the temperature dependence of optical energy gap was fitted well to Varshni equation. But at temperatures lower than 70K an anomalous temperature dependence of the optical energy gap was obtained. This anomalous temperature dependence accored well with the anomalous temperature dependence of the unit cell volume. Also, the entropy, enthalpy and heat capacity were deduced from the temperature dependence of optical energy gaps.

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 energy band gaps and the bowing parameters of zincblende $GaAs_{1-x}N_x$ on the variation of temperature and composition are determined by using an empirical pseudo-potential method with another virtual crystal approximation, which includes the disorder effect. The bowing parameter is calculated as 15eV and the energy band gaps are decreasing rapidly in $GaAs_{1-x}N_x$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05$, 300K). A refractive index n and a function of high-frequency dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}$ are calculated by the results of energy band gaps and the calculation results of energy band gaps are consistent with experimental values.

$CdGaInS_4$ and $CdGaInS_4:Er^{3+}$ single crystals crystallized in the rhombohedral(hexagonal) structure. with lattice constants $a=3.913{\AA},\;c=37.245{\AA}$ for $CdGaInS_4$, and $a=3.899{\AA}$ and $c=36.970{\AA}$ for $CdGaInS_4:Er^{3+}$. The optical absorption measured near the fundamental band edge showed that the optical energy band structure of these compounds had a direct and indirect band gap. the direct and indirect energy gaps are found to be 2.771 and 2.503 eV for $CdGaInS_4$, and 2.665 and 2.479 eV for $CdGaInS_4:Er^{3+}$ at 10 K. The temperature dependence of the optical energy gap was well represented by the Varshni equation. In $CdGaInS_4$, the values of ${\alpha},\;{\beta}$ of the direct and the indirect energy gap were found to be $7.57{\times}10^{-4}eV/K$. $6.53{\times}10^{-4}eV/K$ and 240K. 197K. and the values of ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ of the direct and the indirect energy gap in the $CdGaInS_4:Er^{3+}$ were given by $8.28{\times}10^{-4}eV/K,\;2.08{\times}10^{-4}eV/K$ and 425 K, 283 K, respectively.

Cd1-xCoxIn2Se4($\chi$=0.000, 0.001, 0.005, 0.10, 0.50) 단결정을 수직 Bridgman 방법으로 성장시키고 성장된 단결정의 조성 및 결정구조를 조사하고 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 성장된 단결정은 pesudocubic 구조이고 격자상수는 조성$\chi$가 증가함에 따라 약간씩 감소하였다. 기초 흡수단 영역에서의 광흡수 spectra 측정에서 이 단결정들은 간접전이 및 직접전이 및 직접전이 energy gap을 갖고 있으며 이들 energy gap의 조성의존성은 조성이 $\chi$=0.00에서 $\chi$=0.016까지는 기울기가 같고 $\chi$=0.016에서 기울 기가 변화되어서 $\chi$=0.016에서 $\chi$=0.50까지는 같은 기울기를 갖고 있다. 이러한 현상은 $\chi$=0.016에서부터 CdIn2Se4 내에 cobalt를 포함한 새로운 물질이 형성되고 이 물질과 a-CdIn2Se4 사이에 고체고용체를 형 성하기 때문이다.

HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystal crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure (I 4). The lattice constants of the single crystal were found to be a = 5.635 $\AA$ and c = 10.473 $\AA$. The direct and indirect optical energy gaps were found to be 2.84eV and 2.78eV, respectively. Photoluminescence peaks of HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystal were observed at 2.37 eV, 2.18 eV, and 1.81 eV. In the single crystal, the donor level of 0.25 eV, the acceptor levels of 0.97 eV and 0.41 eV were obtained by TSC, PICTS, and absorption measurements. The photoluminescence peaks were analyzed to relate to the indirect conduction band, the donor level, and the acceptor levels.

Carbon nitride (CN) films were synthesized on silicon substrates by a combined ion-beam and laser-ablation method under various conditions; ion-beam energy and ion-beam current were varied. Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) were employed to characterize respectively the structural and the optical properties of the CN films. Raman spectra show that all the CN films are amorphous independent of the ion-beam current and the ion-beam energy. Refractive indices, extinction coefficients and optical band gaps which were determined from the measured SE spectra exhibit a significant dependence on the synthesis conditions. Especially, the decrease of the refractive indices and the shrinkage of the optical band gap is noticeable as the ion-beam current and/or the ion-beam energy increase.
