We investigated the effects of a cathode underlayer on the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using various metal acetates (M-acetate, M = Li, Na, K, Cs) as a cathode underlayer. When 1 nm thick M-acetate layers were used as a cathode underlayer, the OLEDs with M-acetate showed better EL performance than the device with the conventional LiF electron injection layer except the device with Cs-acetate. More enhanced current density and improved EL characteristics were obtained when lower work function metal acetate was employed. In addition, the optimum M-acetate layer thickness that gives the best device performance proved to be 0.7 and 2.0 nm for Li-acetate and Cs-acetate, respectively, probably depending on the molecular size of M-acetate. The OLEDs with the M-acetate layers of optimized thickness demonstrated more than 60% enhanced current efficiency compared with that of the device using an LiF layer at the same applied voltage.

In this paper, we studied structural and magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite thin film deposited on Si(100) substrate with TiO$_2$ underlayer. Ba-ferrite thin films with TiO$_2$ underlayer were deposited by reactive RF/DC magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. TiO$_2$ underlayer was reactive sputtered with $O_2$. After deposition, the thin films were annealed at vatious temperatures to get the crystallized sample. Underlayer was used to prevent interdiffusion from Ba-ferrite thin film to substrate. The growth of Ba-ferrite thin films was influenced by TiO$_2$ underlayer. Easy magnetization direction is in-plane. From these results the Ba-ferrite film with TiO$_2$ underlayer can be used as longitudinal recording media.

The effects of $Co_{67}$C $r_{33}$ underlayer on the crystallographec and magnetic characteristics of the Co-Cr-Ta layer deposited on the underlayer was investigated. The diffraction intensity $I_{p(002)}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers on the $Co_{67}$C $r_{33}$ layer was stronger than that of single layer and Co-Cr-Ta/Ti double layer. Therefore, the crystallinity of Co-Cr-Ta layer was improved by the $Co_{67}$C $r_{33}$ underlayers rather than Ti ones. However, the coercivity $H_{c}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers deposited on $Co_{67}$C $r_{33}$ underlayer was as low as 250 Oe even at substrate temperature of 22$0^{\circ}C$. This $H_{c}$ decrease seems to be attributed to the effect of the $Co_{67}$C $r_{33}$ underlayer as well as interval time between deposition of the underlayer and the Co-Cr-Ta layer.yer.layer.yer.

We have studied the magnetoresistance and the magnetic anisotropy of Cu/(NiFe/Ni/NiFe) metallic multi layers grown on Si(100), Si(111), $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$ or glass substrate. When the multilayer was grown on $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$ with $50\;{\AA}$ of Cu underlayer, an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy was observed. On the other substrates such as Si(100), Si(111) or glass with Cu underlayer, however, no appreciable anisotropy was shown. The multilayer grown with NiFe or Ni underlayer or without underlayer did not show any arnsotropy even on $4^{\circ}\;tilt-cut\;Si(111)$. When $10\;{\AA}$ of NiFe was deposited prior to the Cu underlayer, the anisotropy in Cu/(NiFe/Ni/NiFe) multilayer disappeared.

We studied the effect of an Al underlayer on the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their field emission characteristics, First of all, CNTs were grown on the Invar catalyst layers with different thickness of 1 to 10 nm, showing that the CNT length was saturated for the catalyst 5 nm or thicker. The CNTs grown on the 5-nm-thick catalyst were ${\sim}10{\mu}m$ long and ${\sim}30nm$ in diameter. Second, an Al underlayer was applied between the catalyst layer and the Ti diffusion barrier to reduce the diameters of CNTs for better field emission properties by forming spherical Al oxide particles on which smaller catalyst nanoparticles would occur. The optimal thickness of an Al underlayer underneath the 5-nm-thick catalyst was ${\sim}15nm$, producing the CNTs with the length of ${\sim}15{\mu}m$ and the diameter of ${\sim}15nm$. The field emission measurements, following the tape activation, showed that the thinner and longer CNTs gave rise to better field emission performance with the lower turn-on and threshold electric fields.

Sputter deposited CoCr(Mo)/Si film were studied with emphasis on the correlation between magnetic properties and crystallographic orientation. The perpendicular coercivities of CoCr films decreased with Si underlayer thickness, whereas those of CoCrMo films increased with Si underlayer thickness. It has been explained that additions of the larger atomic radius Mo atoms in CoCr films impedes crystal growth resulting in a decrease in grain size, thus this small grain size may induce high perpendicular coercivity. The c-axis alignment of CoCrMo film was improved due to addition of 2at.%Mo. It means CoCrMo layer grow self-epitaxial directly from orientation and structure of Si underlayer when the main layer grow on underlayer.

In this study, the effects on hydraulic characteristics are discussed as the permeable underlayer thickness of the rubble mound structure changes. A series of hydraulic experiments were performed and wave run-up, reflection and set-up were investigated. Result indicated that wave run-down was affected by the water out from the permeable underlayer during down-rush. As the thickness increased, relative wave run-up decreased.

수직기록매체에서 기록 밀도가 증가하기 위해서는 bit의 크기를 줄여야 하고, 이를 위해서는 writing head의 width와 thickness를 줄여야 한다. 그러나 head의 크기가 줄어들면 기록층의 자화를 반전시키기에 충분한 write field를 얻지 못한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 head의 tip부분을 trimming을 하여 작은 pole tip 크기를 가지면서도 큰 write field를 얻고, 여분의 magnetic field를 얻기 위해 soft underlayer를 도입하는 이중층 수직기록 매체가 제안되고 있다.
