Switching an elementary excitation by injecting a single carrier would offer the exciting opportunity for the ultra-high data storage technologies. However, there has been no methodology available to investigate the interaction of low energy discrete carriers with nano-structures. In order to map out the spatial dependency of such single carrier level interactions, we developed a pulse-and-probe algorithm, combining with low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The new tool, which we call single carrier spectroscopy, allows us to track the interaction with the target macrostructure with tunneling carriers on a single carrier basis. Using this tool, we demonstrate that it is possible not only to locally write and erase individual bi-solitons, reliably and reversibly, but also to track of creation yields of single and multiple bi-solitons. Bi-solitons are pairs of solitons that are elementary out-of-phase excitations on anti-ferromagnetically ordered pseudo-spin system of Si dimers on Si(001)-c(42) surfaces. We found that at low energy tunneling the single bisoliton creation mechanism is not correlated with the number of carriers tunneling, but with the production of a potential hole under the tip. An electric field at the surface determines the density of the local charge density under the tip, and band-bending. However a rapid, dynamic change of a field produces a potential hole that can be filled by energetic carriers, and the amount of energy released during filling process is responsible for the creation of bi-solitons. Our model based on the field-induced local hole gives excellent explanation for bi-soliton yield behaviors. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy data supports the existence of such a potential hole. The mechanism also explains the site-dependency of bi-soliton yields, which is highest at the trough, not on the dimer rows. Our study demonstrates that we can manipulate not just single atoms and molecules, but also single pseudo-spin excitations as well.

Low temperature hole transport characteristics of gate-all-around p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) type silicon nanowire field-effect-transistors with the radius of 5 nm and lengths of 44-46 nm are presented. They show coexisting two single hole states randomly switching between each other. Analysis of Coulomb diamonds of these two switching states reveals a variety of electrostatic effects which is originated by the potential of a single hole captured in the trap near the nanowire.

InGaAs/GaAs 초격자 구조들 사이에 InAs/GaAs 양자점을 MBE로 성장하고 광특성을 측정한 결과 매우 균일한 양자점을 얻을 수 있었다. Self-consistent한 이론 계산으로부터 얻은 p-i-n 구조의 최적 조건으로 단일광자구조를 성장하고 단일광자소자를 e-beam lithography를 이용하여 제작하였다. 전기적 특성인 I-V곡선에서 나타난 전기 이력현상으로부터 단일 전자와 단일 정공이 다른 전압에서 투과하여 단일 전자-정공 재결합 현상이 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다.

We have developed a repeatable process of forming uniform, small-size and high-density self-assembled Si nano-crystals. The Si nano-crystals were fabricated in a conventional LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) reactor at $620^{\circ}c$ for 15 sec. The nano-crystals were spherical shaped with about 4.5 nm in diameter and density of $5{\times}l0^{11}/$\textrm{cm}^2$. More uniform dots were fabricated on nitride film than on oxide film. To take advantage of the above-mentioned characteristics of nitride film while keeping the high interface quality between the tunneling dielectrics and the Si substrate, nitride-oxide tunneling dielectrics is proposed in n-channel device. For the first time, the single electron effect at room temperature, which shows a saturation of threshold voltage in a range of gate voltages with a periodicity of ${\Delta}Ｖ_{GS}\;{\approx}\;1.7{\;}V$, corresponding to single and multiple electron storage is reported. The feasibility of p-channel nano-crystal memory with thin oxide in direct tunneling regime is demonstrated. The programming mechanisms of p-channel nano-crystal memory were investigated by charge separation technique. For small gate programming voltage, hole tunneling component from inversion layer is dominant. However, valence band electron tunneling component from the valence band in the nano-crystal becomes dominant for large gate voltage. Finally, the comparison of retention between programmed holes and electrons shows that holes have longer retention time.

Schottky barrier single electron transistors (SB-SETs) and Schottky barrier single hole transistors (SB-SHTs) are fabricated on a 20-nm thin silicon-on-insulator substrate incorporating e-beam lithography and a conventional CMOS process technique. Erbium- and platinum-silicide are used as the source and drain material for the SB-SET and SB-SHT, respectively. The manufactured SB-SET and SB-SHT show typical transistor behavior at room temperature with a high drive current of $550{\mu}A/{\mu}m$ and $-376{\mu}A/{\mu}m$, respectively. At 7 K, these devices show SET and SHT characteristics. For the SB-SHT case, the oscillation period is 0.22 V, and the estimated quantum dot size is 16.8 nm. The transconductance is $0.05{\mu}S$ and $1.2{\mu}S$ for the SB-SET and SB-SHT, respectively. In the SB-SET and SB-SHT, a high transconductance can be easily achieved as the silicided electrode eliminates a parasitic resistance. Moreover, the SB-SET and SB-SHT can be operated as a conventional field-effect transistor (FET) and SET/SHT depending on the bias conditions, which is very promising for SET/FET hybrid applications. This work is the first report on the successful operations of SET/SHT in Schottky barrier devices.

암반발파는 광업, 터널공사, 지하 구조물 구축 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있으며, 특히 지하공간의 활용이 증가하면서 암반발파 기술이 더 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 암반발파 시 발파공에서 발생하는 발파공의 압력은 파쇄도, 발파진동 등에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 변수이며, 폭약의 성능 평가 및 발파 결과 예측에 있어서 가장 중요한 매개변수 중 하나이다. 이와 같은 발파공 압력은 몇몇 연구자들에 의해 연구가 수행된 바가 있지만, 폭약의 종류, 폭약량, 발파조건 등 실험조건으로 인하여 비교가 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 발파공 압력센서와 관측공 압력센서를 제작하여 단일공 발파 시 발파공과 관측공의 압력을 측정하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 발파공 주변 압력 전파특성과 발파진동 전파특성에 대해 고찰하였다.

We compared c-axis tunneling characteristics of small stacked intrinsic Josephson junctions prepared on the surface of pristine, I-, and HgI$_2$-intercalated Bi$_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}$ (Bi2212) single crystals. The R(T) curves are almost metallic in I-Bi2212 specimens, but semiconducting in HgI$_2$-Bi2212 ones.· The transition temperatures were 82.0 K, 73.0 K, and 76.8 K for pristine Bi2212, I-Bi2212, and HgI2-Bi2212 specimens, respectively, consistent with p-T$_c$ phase diagram. Current-voltage (IV) characteristics of both kinds of specimens show multiple quasiparticle branches with well developed gap features, indicating Josephson coupling is established between neighboring CuO$_2$ planes. The critical current I$_c$ of I-Bi2212 is almost the same as of that of pristine crystals, but I$_c$ is much reduced in Hgl$_2$-Bi2212. In spite of expanded interlayer distances, the interlayer coupling is not significantly affected in I-Bi2212due to holes generated by iodine atoms. The coupling in HgI$_2$-Bi2212 is, however, weakened due to inertness of HgI$_2$ molecules and the expansion of interlayer distance. Relation between the superconducting transition temperature T$_c$ and the critical current I$_c$ seems to contradict Anderson's interlayer-pair-tunneling theory but agree with a modified version of it.

Electrolunlinescent devices based on conjugated polymer emitting materials have been much attracted possible applications for multicolor flat panel display, since the conjugated polymers have a small band gap emitting obtained at a low driving voltage. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using poly(3-hexylthiophene) as emitting material Electroluminescence(EL) and I-V-L characteristics of indium-tin-oxide[ITO]P3HT/AI device with a various thickness were investigated. It was demonstrate that the I-V characteristics depend, not the voltage but the electric- field strength, The current is dependent on the electric filed and not on the applied voltage, indicating that the carriers are injected by a tunneling process. In the device, the barrier to hole injection is only 0.5eV and the barrier to electron injection is 1.5eV.

PPV(poly(p-phenylenevinylene))를 발광체로 이용한 유기 박막 EL 소자를 다양한 구조와 조건으로 제작하였으며, 그 전기-광학적 특성을 평가하였다. 제작된 EL 소자는 단층구조(ITO(indium tin oxide)PPV/Mg), 이층구조 (ITO/PVK(poly(N-vinylcarbazole))/PPV)Mg와 ITO/PPV/Polymer matrix+PBD/Mg) 그리고 삼층구조 (ITO/PVK/PPV/PS(polystyrene)+PBD(butyl-2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole))/Mg)를 가지며, 그들의 전기광학적 특성을 상호 비교하였다. 이층구조(ITO/PPV)Polymer matrix+PBD/Mg)에서는 PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)), PC(polycarbonate) PS 와 MCH(side chain liquid crystalline homopolymer)를 고분자 메트릭스로 사용하였으며, 특히, PS 고분자 메트 릭스를 전자수송층으로 사용하는 경우에 전자수송제인 PBD의 농도에 따른 발광휘도 특성을 구하였다. 제작된 소자의 인가전압에 따른 전류, 휘도특성을 분석한 결과 터널링효과를 나타내었고 안정된 발광특성을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
