Surface states and interfacial phenomena at the undoped polycrystalline semiconductor particale-electrolyte interfaces were qualitatively analyzed based on the zeta potentials which were measured with microelectrophoresis measurements. The suspensions were composed of the undoped polycrystaline silicon(Si) or gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor particles stalline Si and GaAs particles in the KCl electrolytes was 3.73~6.2x10**-4 cm\ulcornerV.sec and -2.3~1.4x10**-4cm\ulcornerV.sec at the same conditions, respectively. The range of zeta potentials corresponding to the electrophoretic mobilities is 47.8~80.1mV and -30.1~17.9mV, respectively. The variation of the zeta potentials of the undoped polycrystalline Si was similar to the doped crystalline Si. On the other hand, two points of zeta potential reversal occurred at the undoped polycrystalline GaAs-KCl electrolyte interfaces. The surface states of the undoped polycrystalline Si and GaAs were dominated by positively charged donor surface states. These surface states are attributed to adsorbed ion surface states (slow states) at the semiconductor oxide layer-electrolyte interfaces.

The effect of H+ and OH- ion concentrations at doped Si semiconductor/pH buffer solution interfaces were investigated in terms of cyclic current-voltage characteristics. The effects of space charge on oppositely doped Si semiconductors, i.e., p-and n-Si semiconductors, can be effectively applied to study the pH effects and the slow surface states at the interfaces. The adsorptions of H+ and OH- inons on the doped Si semiconductor surfaces are physical adsorption rather than chemical adsorption. Adsorptive processes and charging effects of the slow surface states can be explained as the potential barrier variations and the related current-voltage characteristics at the interfaces. Under forward bias, the charged slow surface states on the p-and n-si semiconductor surface are donor and acceptor slow surface states, respectively. The effects of minority carriers on the slow surface states can be neglected at the doped Si semiconductor interfaces.

Recently, the surface electronic states have attracted much attention since their standing wave patterns created around steps, defects, and adsorbates on noble metal surfaces such as Au(111), Ag(110), and Cu(111) were observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). As a typical example, a striking circular pattern of "Quantum corral" observed by Crommie, Lutz, and Eigler, covers a number of text books of quantum mechanics, demonstrating a wavy nature of electrons. After the discoveries, similar standing waves patterns have been observed on other metal and demiconductor surfaces and even on a side polane of nano-tubes. With an expectation that the surface states could be utilized as one of ideal cases for studying two dimensionakl (sD) electronic system, various properties, such as mean free path / life time of the electronic states, have been characterized based on an analysis of standing wave patterns, . for the 2D electron system, electron density is one of the most importnat parameters which determines the properties on it. One advantage of conventional 2D electron system, such as the ones realized at AlGaAs/GaAs and SiO2/Si interfaces, is their controllability of the electrondensity. It can be changed and controlled by a factor of orders through an application of voltage on the gate electrode. On the other hand, changing the leectron density of the surface-state 2D electron system is not simple. On ewqy to change the electron density of the surface-state 2D electron system is not simple. One way to change the electron density is to deposit other elements on the system. it has been known that Pd(111) surface has unoccupied surface states whose energy level is just above Fermi level. Recently, we found that by depositing Pd on Cu(111) surface, occupied surface states of Cu(111) is lifted up, crossing at Fermi level around 2ML, and approaches to the intrinsic Pd surface states with a increase in thickness. Electron density occupied in the states is thus gradually reduced by Pd deposition. Park et al. also observed a change in Fermi wave number of the surface states of Cu(111) by deposition of Xe layer on it, which suggests another possible way of changing electron density. In this talk, after a brief review of recent progress in a study of standing weaves by STM, I will discuss about how the electron density can be changed and controlled and feasibility of using the surface states for a study of 2D electron system. One of the most important advantage of the surface-state 2D electron system is that one can directly and easily access to the system with a high spatial resolution by STM/AFM.y STM/AFM.

In the conventional sliding mode control(SMC), the states of controlled systems are linearly dependent because of the characteristic of the sliding surface. This means that conventional SMC can not add its robustness to other control methods. To overcome this problem, a special sliding surface with additional dynamic states has been proposed. However the additional dynamic states make it difficult to design a controller because the order ofa controller becomes higher. So, in this paper, a novel sliding surface design method, which does not require any additional dynamic state, is proposed. The relationships between the states with desirable responses can be expressed by using SVM and included in a sliding mode dynamics. The robust optimal controller with the optimal performanceand the robustness of SMC is considered.

Although GaAs HBTs are very attractive for high power amplifier because of their power handling capablity, they can't be actively commercialized due to the degradation of current gain occured in hihg current operation. In this paper we analyzed the type of current gain degradation of GaAs HBTs under high constant current stress, and identified the mechanism by using two dimensional numerical simulation. The cause of degradation was found out to be the variation of surface recombination states at the interface between GaAs extrinstic base and the nitride passivating the surface of base. The energy radiated from recombination of carriers in bulk as well as near the surface is estimated to activate the change of the surface states.

$^{195}Pt$ NMR measurements were performed to deduce the variation of local density of states at the Fermi energy ($E_F$-LDOS) at the surface of carbonsupported Pt catalysts due to the addition of $Nafion^{(R)}$ ionomer in the metalelectrode-assembly for fuel cells. The results showed that the EF-LDOS at the surface of Pt particles was enhanced by the addition of $Nafion^{(R)}$ ionomers whereas it was uninfluenced in the inner (bulk) part of the Pt particles. This suggests that the effects of ionomers on the electronic states of the Pt particle surface are related to the electrochemical activity of the catalysts.

In this paper, a brief overview of nanocrystallites of metal and semi-conductor materials will be presented, and then the novel synthetic method of high quality CdSe nanocrystallites developed by Bawendi group at MIT will be introduced . It will be shown that results of optical properties of surface modified nanocrystallites give the evidence that the luminescence of CdSe nanocrystallites is not originated from surface related trap states, but from intrinsic spin forbidden core states. Some of the interesting applications of CdSe nano-crystallites will also be discussed at the end.

Recently there has been growing interest in topological insulators or the quantum spin Hall (QSH) phase, which are insulating materials with bulk band gaps but have metallic edge states that are formed topologically and robust against any non-magnetic impurity [1]. In a three-dimensional material, the two-dimensional surface states correspond to the edge states (topological metal) and their intriguing nature in terms of electronic and spin structures have been experimentally observed in bulk Bi1-xSbx single crystals [2,3,4]. However, if we want to know the transport properties of these topological metals, high purity samples as well as very low temperature will be needed because of the contribution from bulk states or impurity effects. In a recent report, it was also shown that an intriguing coupling between the surface and bulk states will occur [5]. A simple solution to this bothersome problem is to prepare a topological metal on an ultrathin film, in which the surface-to-bulk ratio is drastically increased. Therefore in the present study, we have investigated if there is a method to make an ultrathin Bi1-xSbx film on a semiconductor substrate. From reflection high-energy electron diffraction observation, it was found that single crystal Bi1-xSbx films (0${\sim}30\;{\AA}A$ can be prepared on Si(111)-$7{\times}7$. The transport properties of such films were characterized by in situ monolithic micro four-point probes [6]. The temperature dependence of the resistivity for the x=0.1 samples was insulating when the film thickness was $240\;{\AA}A$. However, it became metallic as the thickness was reduced down to $30\;{\AA}A$, indicating surface-state dominant electrical conduction. Figure 1 shows the Fermi surface of $40\;{\AA}A$ thick Bi0.92Sb0.08 (a) and Bi0.84Sb0.16 (b) films mapped by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The basic features of the electronic structure of these surface states were shown to be the same as those found on bulk surfaces, meaning that topological metals can be prepared at the surface of an ultrathin film. The details will be given in the presentation.

최근 Angle Resolved Ultraviolet Photoemission Spectroscopy(ARUPS)를 통하여 Mo(011)과 W(011)의 surface Fermi contour에 관한 연구가 발표되었다. Hydrogen 흡착시 W(011)의 electron contour는 팽창하였다. 이것은 electron contour를 이루는 surface state가 hydrogen 흡착시 higher binding energy로 이동한 결과이다. Surface state의 higher binding energy로의 이동은 결국 band flattening으로 이해되며, 이 band flattening 에 S.E.Trullinger의 long range dipole dipole force와 Kohn anomaly 현상을 부합시켜 W(011) surface에 수소 흡착시 일어나는 reconstruction 현상에 대한 설명을 시도해 보았다.

Surface states of silicone polymer treated by plasma were investigated by the analysis by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and surface voltage decay after corona charging. Plasma treatment causes the silica -like oxidative layer, which was confirmed with XPS, and lowers surface resistivity with increasing the plasma treatment time. Using the decay time constant of surface voltage, the calculated surface resistivity was compared with the value directly measured by voltage-current method using three electrodes system. A good agreement between two methods was obtained. In addition, we estimated the thermal activation energy for surface conduction, Based on our results, we could understand the relationship between surface chemical states and surface electrical properties.
