Samples of GaMnAs, GaMnAs codoped with Be, and GaMnAs simultaneously codoped with Be and Mg were grown via low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy (LT-MBE). Be codoping is shown to take the Ga sites into the lattice efficiently and to increase the conductivity of GaMnAs. Additionally, it shifts the semiconducting behavior of GaMnAs to metallic while the Mn concentration in the GaMnAs solid solution is reduced. However, with simultaneous codoping of GaMnAs with Be and Mg, the Mn concentration increases dramatically several times over that in a GaMnAs sample alone. Mg and Be are shown to eject Mn from the Ga sites to form MnAs and MnGa precipitates.

Magnetotransport is a prerequisite to realization of electronic operation of spintronic devices and it would be more useful if realized at room temperature. The effects of Be codoping on GaMnAs on magnetotransport were investigated. Mn flux was varied for growth of precipitated GaMnAs layers under a Be flux for degenerate doping via low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy. Magnetotransport as well as ferromagnetism at room temperature were realized in the precipitated GaAs:(Mn,Be) layers. Codoping of Be was shown to promote formation of MnGa clusters, and annealing process further stabilized the cluster phases. The room-temperature magnetic properties of the layers originate from the ferromagnetic clusters of MnGa and MnAs embedded in GaAs. The degenerately doped metallic GaAs matrix allowed the visualization of the magnetotransport through anomalous Hall effect.

MBE장비를 이용하여 Mn과 Be nux의 변화를 주면서 Be-codoped GaMnAs를 성장시켰다. Mn flux의 범위는 고용체 특성의 GaMnAs에서, 과도한 nux에 의해 이차상이 형성된 상태까지 변화를 주면서 성장시켰다. Be병행 도핑 효과 연구를 위해 두 가지의 Be flux에서 박막을 성장하여 박막의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 과도한 Be도핑을 통해 금속성의 전도를 가지는 상태와, 상대적으로 적은 양의 도핑을 통해 캐리어의 수는 증가하였으나 반도체 전도를 보이는 상태이다. 적은 양의 Be이 병행 도핑된 GaMnAs의 경우, 상온에서 강자성 특성을 보였으나, 이차상 형성에 의한 전기 비저항의 증가와 작은 자기저항에 의해 자기 수송특성을 관찰하지 못했다. 그러나 많은 Be도핑에 의해 금속 거동을 보이는 경우에는 많은 수의 캐리어와 전기 전도토의 증가로 인해 자기 수송 특성을 관찰할 수 있었다. Be병행 도핑은 GaAs 기지 내에 효과적으로 캐리어를 공급하고, 이차상 MnAs 뿐만 아니라 MnGa의 형성을 촉진하는 것으로 생각된다.

Nd을 이온주입한 GaN를 이용하여 GaN와 Nd 이온 사이의 에너지 전달과정을 분석하고 Mg을 도핑 하였을 때의 효과를 보았다. Nd의 $^4F_{3/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{9/2}$ 전이에 대하여 Photoluminescence (PL)와 PL excitation 방법을 이용하여 에너지 전달 경로에 적어도 3가지 이상의 밴드갭 내의 trap이 있음을 확인하였다. Mg이 doping된 GaN : Nd에서는 isoelectronic trap으로 생각되는 특정한 trap의 수가 증가되었음이 관측되었고 이로 인해 전기적으로 여기될 시료의 특성을 보여줄 밴드갭보다 큰 에너지를 이용한 여기 상태의 효율이 더욱 높아짐을 알 수 있었다.

The photocatalytic (PC) activity of anatase titania nanoparticles can be improved through codoping with transition metals and nitrogen. In addition, the PC activity can also be improved by creating monodisperse, mesoporous nanoparticles of titania. The question naturally arose as to whether combining these two characteristics would result in further improvement in the PC activity or not. Herein, we describe the synthesis and photocatalytic characteristics of codoped, monodisperse anatase titania. The transition metals tested in the polydisperse and the monodisperse forms were Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu. In each case, it was found that the monodisperse version had a higher PC activity compared to the corresponding polydisperse version.

0.2 mo1% La doped BaTiO3 samples were prepared by a wet chemical process (Pechini process) and electrical conductivity were measured from annealing temperatures(800-110$0^{\circ}C$) to room temperature continuously. 2 probe I-V characteristics showed that Pt electrodes were non-ohmic below about 80$0^{\circ}C$ for Ladoped sample. I-V curves showed varistor behavior and breakdown voltages showed PTC-like behavior. AC complex impedance of 0.2 La and 0.05 Mn mo1% doped BaTiO3 samples with three different electrodes (electroless Ni, Pt, Ag electrodes) were measured with temperature variation. Complex impedance plots showed that the samples with electroless Ni electrodes have negligible electrode resistance. Samples with Ag or Pt paste electrodes showed large electrode resistance. PTC effect, which is defined as the ratio of maximum resistance to minimum resistance, was found to be less than 10 for 0.2 mo1% La doped dense sample however greater than 105 with codoping of 0.05 mo1% Mn and 0.2 mol% La.

$1.6\;{\mu}m$ emission originated from $Pr^{3+}:\;(^3F_3,\;^3F_4)\;{\longrightarrow}\;^3H_4$ transition in $Pr^{3+}-\;and\;Pr^{3+}/Er^{3+}$-doped selenide glasses was investigated under an optical pump of a conventional 1480 nm laser diode. The measured peak wavelength and fullwidth at half-maximum of the fluorescent emission are ~1650nm and 120nm, respectively. A moderate lifetime of the thermally coupled upper manifolds of ${\sim}212{\pm}10{\mu}s$ together with a high stimulated emission cross-section of ${\sim}(3{\pm}1){\times}10^{-20}\;cm^2$ promises to be useful for $1.6{\mu}m$ band fiber-optic amplifiers that can be pumped with an existing high-power 1480 nm laser diode. Codoping $Er^{3+}$ enhances the emission intensity by way of a nonradiative $Er^{3+}:\;^4I_{13/2}\;{\longrightarrow}\;Pr^{3+}:\;(^3F_3,\;^3F_4)$ energy transfer. The Dexter model based on the spectral overlap between donor emission and acceptor absorption describes well the energy transfer from $Er^{3+}$ to $Pr^{3+}$ in these glasses. Also discussed in this paper are major transmission loss mechanisms of a selenide glass optical fiber.

Activated carbon has lower electrical conductivity and reliability than other carbonaceous materials because of the oxygen functional groups that form during the activation process. This problem can be overcome by doping the material with heteroatoms to reduce the number of oxygen functional groups. In the present study, N, F co-doped activated carbon (AC-NF) was successfully prepared by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, utilizing commercial activated carbon (AC-R) as the precursor and ammonium tetrafluoroborate as the single source for the co-doping of N and F. AC-NF showed improved electrical conductivity ($3.8\;S\;cm^{-1}$) with N and F contents of 0.6 and 0.1 at%, respectively. The introduction of N and F improved the performance of the pertinent supercapacitor: AC-NF exhibited an improved rate capability at current densities of $0.5-50mA\;cm^{-2}$. The rate capability was higher compared to that of raw activated carbon because N and F codoping increased the electrical conductivity of AC-NF. The developed method for the co-doping of N and F using a single source is cost-effective and yields AC-NF with excellent electrochemical properties; thus, it has promising applications in the commercialization of energy storage devices.

We report on the observation of p-type conductivity and ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductor $(Zn_{0.97}Mg_{0.01}Mn_{0.02})O:P$ films grown on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The p-type conduction with hole concentration over $10^{18}cm^{-3}$ is obtained by codoping of Mg and P followed by rapid thermal annealing in an $O_2$ atmosphere. Structural and compositional analyses for the p-type $(Zn_{0.97}Mg_{0.01}Mn_{0.02})O:P$ films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ indicates that highly c-axis oriented homogeneous films were grown without any detectable formation of secondary phases. The films were found to be transparent in the visible range. The magnetic measurements clearly revealed an enhancement of room temperature ferromagnetism by p-type doping.
