Journal of the Korean Crystal Growth and Crystal Technology is an official publication of the Korean Association of Crystal Growth (KACG), launched in 1991. The journal publishes 6 issues per year filled with reports of original research and review articles. The peer-reviewed articles contain records of original research that cover diverse theoretical and experimental aspects of crystal growth, crystal technology and related applications. Material categories of interest include but are not limited to: metals, inorganic materials, organic materials, biological materials, semiconductors, polymers, medical/medicinal materials, and newly discovered materials. Theoretical and experimental research and reviews that relate to single- and poly-crystalline materials, powders, liquid crystals and thin films are welcome including those in the following fields; Theory of nucleation, crystallization and growth Modeling and simulation of crystallization and growth Development of growth technique and equipment Characterization of structural and physical properties Other crystal growth-related areas The official title of the journal is “Journal of the Korean Crystal Growth and Crystal Technology (JKCGCT)”. Abbreviated title is “J. Korean Cryst. Growth Cryst. Technol.”. Manuscripts should be submitted to the editorial office by on-line and the submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by two reviewers. The manuscript text may be written in Korean or English. The title, abstract, keywords, and references should be written in English. All of the articles published in the JKCGCT are indexed in DOI/Crossref. The citation information and bibliographic information on the JKCGCT is listed in ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index) & KCI (Korea Citation Index).

Abstract PDFGa2O3 thin films were grown on n-type Si substrates at various growth temperatures of 500, 550, 600, 650 and 700°C. The Ga2O3 thin films grown at 500°C and 550°C were characterized as featureless flat surface. Grown at highertemperatures (600, 650, and 700°C) showed very rough surface morphology. To figure out the annealing effect on the thin films grown at relatively low temperatures (500, 550, 600, 650 and 700°C), the Ga2O3 films were thermally treated at 900°C for 10 minutes. Crystal structure of the Ga2O3 f ilms g rown a t 500 and 550°C were changed from amorphous to polycrystallinestructure with flat surface. Ga2O3 film grown at 550°C was chosen for the fabrication of a Schottky barrier diode (SBD). Electrical properties of the SBDs depend on the thermal treatment were evaluated. A MSM type photodetector wasmade on the low temperature grown Ga2O3 thin film. The photocurrent for the illumination of 266 nm wavelength showed 5.32 times higher than dark current at the operating voltage of 10 V.

Sintering prevention of Ag by the addition of 2-dimensional nanosheet
Lee Sang Eun | Park， Hee Jung | 2022, 32(2) | pp.51~54 | number of Cited : 0Abstract PDFThe physical properties of the noble metal current-collector used for fuel cells are greatly influenced by the material porosity. Therefore, increasing the porosity of the material studies has attracted much attention. One of the most representative strategies is to use porosity additives in sintering materials. The conventional porosity additive had a threedimensional structure of a spherical powder. In this study, porosity additive with 2-dimensional (2D) nanosheet was used todecrease the sintering density of Ag current-collector and its effect was confirmed. As a 2D layered structure material, 1 nm-thick RuO2 nanosheets were used as porosity additives. -
Study on the characteristics of transition metals for TSSG process of SiC single crystal
leeseungjune | 유용재 | Seongmin Jeong and 3other persons | 2022, 32(2) | pp.55~60 | number of Cited : 0Abstract PDFIn this study, a heat treatment experiment was conducted to select a new melt composition that can easily control the unintentionally doped nitrogen (N-UID) without degrading the SiC single crystal quality during TSSG process. The experiment was carried out for about 2 hours at a temperature of 1900°C under Ar atmosphere. The used melt composition is based on either Si-Ti 10 at% or Si-Cr 30 at%, and also Co or Sc transition metals, which are effective for carbon solubility, were added at 3 at%, respectively. After the experiment, the crucible was cross-sectionally cut, and evaluated the Si-C reaction layer on the crucible-melt interface. As a result, with Sc addition, Si-C reaction layers uniformly occurred with a Si-infiltrated layer (~550 µm) and a SiC interlayer (~23 µm). This result represented that the addition of Sc is an effective transition metal with high carbon solubility and can feed carbon sources into the melt homogeneously. In addition, Sc is well known to have low reactivity energy with nitrogen compared to other transition metals. Therefore, we expect that both growth rate and Nitrogen UID can be controlled by Si-Sc based melt in the TSSG process.
