The theoretical current density equations for organic semiconductors was derived according to the internal carrier emission equation based on the diffusion model at the Schottky barrier contact and the mobility equation based on the field dependence model, the so-called "Poole-Frenkel mobility model." The electric field becomes constant because of the absence of a space charge effect in the case of a higher injection barrier height and a lower sample thickness, but there is distribution in the electric field because of the space charge effect in the case of a lower injection barrier height and a higher sample thickness. The transition between the injection- and bulk-limited currents was presented according to the Schottky barrier height and the sample thickness change.

We prepared semi-insulating CdTe for radiation detectors by isothermal annealing of single crystals grown by Bridgeman technique in a sealed quartz container filled with Sn vapor. The resistivity of CdTe:Sn samples thus obtained was of order of $10^{10}Ohm{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature with electrons lifetime of $2{\times}10^{-8}$ s, which is appropriate for the applications desired. Analysis of electric transport characteristics depending on temperature, sample thickness and voltage applied revealed the presence of traps with concentration of about $(4-5){\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$ with the corresponding energy level at 0.8 - 0.9 eV counted from the bottom of conduction band. The conductivity was determined by electron injection from electrodes in space charge limited current mode.

Transient charging and discharging currents as well as space charge limited currents have been measured in biaxially stretched poly(vinylidene fluoride) film under various poling fields and temperatures. At low temperatures and short poling times, the I-V characteristics showed shallow trap behavior. When the current values extrapolated to the infinite time, the I-V characteristics indicate that the distribution of the trap energy levels is uniform or very broad. The abnormal suppression of current at higher poling voltages and the high discharge rate observed also in the same voltage range are attributed to the morphological changes due to dipole reorientation.

Electrical conduction characteristics of crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE) were investigated using an electrode made of semicon material containing a surfactant. When the semicon material is used as an electrode the conduction of XLPE obeys a space charge limited conduction(SCLC) mechanism which holds true for both control and surfactant-containing semicon electrodes. Conduction currents get higher with the addition of surfactant in the semicon electrodes while the charge mobility increases with the increase of surfactant content in the semicon electrode. The diffusion of surfactant molecules into the XLPE was confirmed via a $\mu$-FTIR analysis. It was found through a measurement of spatial charge distributions that the surfactant in the semicon electrodes enhances the injection of negative charge into the XLPE from the electrode. Experimental results and their origins are discussed in detail.

In this study, the electrical conduction properties of plasma-polymerized (MMA+Styrene) thin film have been investigated. The measurements of transient conduction currents were carried out in the temperature of 50 to 150$^{\circ}C$ at electric field of 10$^4$to 10$\^$6/V/cm. The electric field-current density characteristic curves were divided into three regions-ohmic region, child region, sudden-increasing region. It is shown that the conduction mechanism of this thin film is in good agreement with SCLC(space charge limited current) model by applying the high field conduction theories.

Ionic Transition Metal Complex based (iTMC) Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs) have been drawn attention for cheap and easy-to-fabricate light-emitting device. LEEC is one of the promising candidate for next generation display and solid-state lighting applications which can cover the defects of current commercial OLEDs like complicated fabrication process and strong work-function dependent sturucture. We have investigated the performance characteristics of LEECs based on poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-incorporated transition metal complex, which is tris(2, 2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate in this study. There are advantages using conductive polymer-incorporated luminous layer to prevent light disturbance and absorbance while light-emitting process between light-emitting layer and transparent electrode like ITO. The devices were fabricated as sandwiched structure and light-emitting layer was deposited approximately 40nm thickness by spin coating and aluminum electrode was deposited using thermal evaporation process under the vacuum condition (10-3Pa). Current density and light intensity were measured using optical spectrometer, and surface morphology changes of the luminous layer were observed using XRD and AFM varying contents of PEDOT:PSS in the Ruthenium(II) complex solution. To observe enhanced ionic conductivity of PEDOT:PSS and luminous layer, space-charge-limited-currents model was introduced and it showed that the performances and stability of LEECs were improved. Main discussions are the followings. First, relationship between film thickness and performance characteristics of device was considered. Secondly, light-emitting behavior when PEDOT:PSS layer on the ITO, as a buffer, was introduced to iTMC LEECs. Finally, electrical properties including carrier mobility, current density-voltage, light intensity-voltage, response time and turn-on voltages were investigated.

In this study several lanthanide complexes such as Eu(TTA)$_3$(Phen), Tb(ACAC)$_3$-(Cl-Phen) were synthesized and the white-light electroluminescence(EL) characteristics of their thin films were investigated where the devices having structures of anode/TPD/Tb(ACAC)$_3$(Cl-Phen)/Eu(TTA)$_3$(Phen)/Alq$_3$or Bebq$_2$/cathode and the low work function metal alloy such as Li:Al was used as the electron injecting electrode(cathode). Device structure of glass substrate/ITO/TPD(30nm)/Tb(ACAC)$_3$(Phen)(30nm)/Eu(TTA)$_3$(Phen)(6nm)/DCM doped Alq$_3$(10nm)/Alq$_3$(20nm)/Li:Al(100nm) was also fabricated and their EL characteristics were investigated where Eu(TTA)$_3$(Phen) and DCM doped Alq$_3$were used as red light-emitting materials. It was found that the turn-on voltage of the device with non-doped Alq$_3$was lower than that of the devices with doped Alq$_3$and the blue and red light emission peaks due to TPD and Eu(TTA)$_3$(Phen) with non-doped Alq$_3$were lower than those with DCM doped Alq$_3$Details on the white-light-emitting characteristics of these device structures were explained by the energy and diagrams of various materials used in these structure where the energy levels of new materials such as ionization potential(IP) and electron affinity(EA) were measured by cyclic voltametric method.
