In this study, Al-N codoped p-type zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on Si and homo-buffer layer templates in a mixture of $N_2$ and $O_2$ gas with ceramic ZnO:(2 wt% $Al_2O_3$) as a sputtering target using DC- magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction spectra of two-theta diffraction showed that all films have a predominant (002) peak of ZnO Wurtzite structure. As the $N_2$ fraction in the mixed $N_2$ and $O_2$ gases increased, field emission secondary electron microscopy revealed that the surface appearance of codoped films on Si varied from smooth to textured structure. The p-type ZnO thin films showed carrier concentration in the range of $1.5{\times}10^{15}-2.93{\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, resistivity in the range of 131.2-2.864 ${\Omega}cm$, and mobility in the range of $3.99-31.6\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ respectively.

[ ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ ] nanopowders were fabricated by the thermal decomposition and synthetic of Ammonium Aluminum Carbonate Hydroxide (AACH). Crystallite size of 5 to 8 nm were fabricated when reaction temperature of AACH was low, $8^{\circ}C$, and the highest $[NH_4{^+}][AlO(OH)_n{(SO_4){^-}}_{3-n/2}][HCO_3]$ ionic concentration to pH of the Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate (AHC) aqueous solution was 10. The phase transformation fem $NH_4Al(SO_4)_2$, rhombohedral $(Al_2(SO_4)_3)$, amorphous-, ${\theta}-,\;{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ was examined at each temperature according to the AACH. A Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) diagram for thermal decomposition in air was determined. Homogeneous, spherical nanopowders with a particle size of 70 nm were obtained by firing the 5 to 8 m crystallites, which had been synthesized from AACH at pH 10 and $8^{\circ}C,\;at\;1150^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in air.

The phase transformation temperature from $\theta$- to $\alpha$-alumina was lowered from 1214$^{\circ}C$ to 114$0^{\circ}C$ in DSC by treating ${\gamma}$-alumina obtained by calcination of boehmite at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2hrswith $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeds (d50=0.36${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and 3wt% of the alumina sol. $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeds seemed to lower to the transformation temperature and the alumina sol suppressed the high temperature agglormeration. The effect was increased as the amount of the sol was increased, which was supported by TEM and particle size distribution. For an example, spherical ${\gamma}$-alumina powder with d50=0.54${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was prepared by treating the ${\gamma}$-alumina with 9 wt% of the alumina sol and 3wt% of the $\alpha$-Al2O3. It sintered to 99% of the theoretical density at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs. and it had relatively homogeneous microstructure with 2~3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ sized grains.

In this work, the dispersion behavior of $Y_2O_3$ particles in binary aluminum (Al)-copper (Cu) cast alloy was investigated with respect to Cu contents of 20 (hypoeutertic), 33 (eutectic) and 40 (hypereutectic) wt.%. In cases of hypo and hypereutectic compositions, SEM images revealed that the primary Al and ${\theta}$ phases were grown up at the beginning, respectively, and thereafter the eutectic phase was solidified. In addition, it was found that some of $Y_2O_3$ particles can be dispersed into the primary Al phase, but none of them are is observed inside the primary 6 phase. This different dispersion behavior of $Y_2O_3$ particles is probably due to the difference in the val- ues of specific gravity between $Y_2O_3$ particles and primary phases. At eutectic composition, $Y_2O_3$ particles were well dispersed in the matrix since there is few primary phases acting as an impediment site for particle dispersion during solidification. Based on the experimental results, it is concluded that $Y_2O_3$ particles are mostly dispersed into the eutectic phase in binary Al-Cu alloy system.

The results of microstructure observations of the $Al_2O_3$ scale formed on a Fe-Cr-Al steel during high temperature oxidation in the $SO_2$ atmosphere are presented. Morphology of the scale has been studied by SEM and TEM techniques. Phase and chemical compositions have been studied by EDX and XRD techniques. The alumina oxide is a primary component of the scale. TEM observations showed that the scale was multilayer. The entire surface of the scale is covered with "whiskers", which look like very thin platelets and have random orientation. The cross section of a sample shows, that the "whiskers" are approximately $2{\mu}m$ high, however the compact scale layer on which they reside is $0.2{\mu}m$ thick. The scale layer was composed mainly of small equiaxial grains and a residual amount of small columnar grains. EDX analysis of the scale surface showed that the any sulfides were found in the formed outer and thin inner scale layer. A phase analysis of the scale formed revealed that it is composed mainly of the $\theta-Al_2O_3$ phase and a residual amount of $\alpha-Al_2O_3$.

$UO_2$분말에 PVA-Al(III) 착물과 AlOOH를 각각 0.03~1.0wt%를 첨가하여 소결체를 제조한 후 소결체 특성을 비교하였다. PVA-Al(III) 착물과 AlOOH는 $1000^{\circ}C$의 소소분위기에서 열분해하는 경우 생성상은 $\theta-Al_2O_3$이었다. 순수 $UO_2$분말에 비해 AlOOH가 첨가된 혼합 분말의 곁보기 밀도는 더 높았고, PVA-Al(III) 착물이 첨가된 혼합 분말은 더 낮은 겉보기 밀도를 보였다. AlOOH가 첨가된 소결체의 경우 약 $800^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 치밀화가 시작되었지만, PVA-Al(III) 착물이 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 약 $900^{\circ}C$에서 치밀화가 시작되었다. 기공 크기 분포는 AlOOH가 첨가된 $UO_2$소결체의 경우에 monomodal 형태로, 그리고 PVA-Al(III) 착물의 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 bimodal 형태로 나타났다. 결정립 크기는 1wt% 첨가시 AlOOH가 첨가된 $UO_2$소결체의 경우에 약 $13\mu\textrm{m}$이었지만, PVA-Al(III) 착물의 첨가된 소결체의 경우에는 약 $\36mu\textrm{m}$까지 성장하는 현저한 효과를 확인하였다.

점토 광물로부터 황산 처리법을 이용하여 수화 황산 알루미늄을 제조하였다. 하동 카올린 을 황산 처리하였을 때 수화 황산 알루미늄 형성에 미치는 카올린의 하소 온도와 하소 시간, 산처리 반응 온도와 반응 시간 및 황산의 농도의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한, 황산 처리된 용액으로부터 수화 황산 알루미늄이 석출되는 최적 조건을 구하였으며, 생성된 수화 황산 알루미늄을 상온에서 $1200^{\circ}C$ 까지 각각의 온도 구간에서 열처리한 분말에 대해서 XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR, SEM, 입도 분석 및 불순물 분석을 하였다. 최적 조건 하에서, 카올린 중의 알루미나가 수화 황산 알루미늄으로 생성되는 전화율은 약 60%였고, XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR 등의 분석 결과로 부터 생성된 수화 황산 알루미늄의 열분해 반응은 $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O{\rightarrow}Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}6H_2O{\rightarrow}Al_2(SO_4){\rightarrow}\;amorphous\;alumina{\rightarrow}{\gamma}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\delta}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\theta}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\alpha}-alumina$이었다. 또한 생성된 수화 황산 알루미늄을 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 하소 하여 얻은 알루미나 분말의 순도는 99.99%였다.

The supported and unsupported boehmite ($\gamma$-AlOOH) membranes were prepared using a boehmite sol. The supported membrane was consisted of a porcelain support, two intermediate $\alpha-{Al_2}{O_3}$ layers, and a top boehmite membrane. XRD patterns showed that the supported top membrane had a higher $\theta-$ to $\alpha-{Al_2}{O_3}$ transformation temperature compared to the unsupported membrane. This result was also confirmed from microstructural study of the membrane. The shift in the phase transformation temperature should be explained by difference of a stress generated in the supported top membrane due to interaction between the support layers and the top membrane.
