Uniform ZrO₂ nanoballs were synthesized at 700℃ using the inverse replication method through a colloid-imprinted carbon (CIC) template. The structural, dielectric, and conducting properties of the ZrO₂ nanoballs were investigated and compared with those of ZrO₂ film prepared by sol-gel method and powdered ZrO₂ chemical. Both the monoclinic and cubic phases were found in the ZrO₂ balls and film but the ZrO₂ chemical showed a monoclinic phase, where the cubic structure is known to be formed at above 2,300℃. ZrO₂ nanoballs showed the lower dielectric property of k = 21.2 at 1 MHz because the 8-coordinated cubic phase in the ZrO₂ nanoball produced lower polarization than the polarization of the 7-coordinated monoclinic ZrO₂ chemical (k = 23.6). The dielectric stability was maintained in each ZrO₂ ball, film, and chemical under the applied forward and reverse voltage range (−5 to +5 V) at 1 MHz. The ionic conductivities were 7.86 × 10⁻⁸/Ω·cm for ZrO₂ nanoballs, 3.29 × 10⁻⁸/Ω·cm for ZrO₂ chemical, and 6.70 × 10⁻⁵/Ω·cm for the thickness of 1,053 nm ZrO₂ film at room temperature with the electronic contribution being less than 0.006%.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using briged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ or unbriged $Cp_2ZrCl_2$ metallocene catalysts. Bridged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst showed relatively good results compared with unbridged one. When cocatalyst/catalyst molar ratio was 3000, catalytic activity indicated more than 8000(kg of polymer/$mol{\cdot}h$) which was very remarkable value. As a polymerization time increased, the weight-average molecular weight of the terpolymer gradually increased to some degree. In the case of a polymerization time of 50 minutes, the state of the terpolymer became amorphous. The range of the weight-average molecular weight and the densities of the terpolymer was 110,000~200,000 and $0.85{\sim}0.89g/cm^3$, respectively. The thermal properties and the structure of the terpolymer were also identified.

Pure Ti as well as Ti-6Al-4V alloy exhibit excellent properties for dental implant applications. However, for a better biocompatibility it seems important to avoid in the composition the presence of V due to the toxic effects of V ion release. Thus Al and V free and composed of non-toxic element such as Nb, Zr alloys as biomaterials have been developed. Especially, Zr contains to same family in periodic table as Ti. The addition of Zr to Ti alloy has an excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In this study, the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-Zr alloys for biomaterials have been investigated using by electrochemical methods. Methods: Ti-Zr(10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) alloys were prepared by arc melting and homogenized for 24 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. Phase constitutions and microstructure of the specimens were characterized by XRD, OM and SEM. The corrosion properties of the specimens were examined through potentiodynamic test (potential range of -1500 ~ 2000 mV), potentiostatic test (const. potential of 300 mV) in artificial saliva solution by potentiostat (EG&G Co, PARSTAT 2273. USA).

We have carried out the study of magnetocaloric effect for as-quenched and annealed $Fe_{91-x}Y_xZr_9$ alloys. Samples were prepared by arc melting the high-purity elemental constituents under argon gas atmosphere and by single roller melt spinning. These alloys were annealed one hour at 773 K in vacuum chamber. The magnetization behaviours of the samples were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The Curie temperature increases with increasing Y concentration (x=0 to 8). Temperature dependence of the entropy variation ${\Delta}S_M$ was found to appear in the vicinity of the Curie temperature. The results show that annealed $Fe_{86}Y_5Zr_9$ and $Fe_{83}Y_8Zr_9$ alloys a bigger magnetocaloric effect than that those in as-quenched alloys. The value is 1.23 J/kg K for annealed $Fe_{86}Y_5Zr_9$ alloy and 0.89 J/kg K for as-quenched alloy, respectively. In addition, the values of ${\Delta}S_M$ for $Fe_{83}Y_8Zr_9$ alloy is 0.72 J/Kg K for as-quenched and 1.09 J/Kg K for annealed alloy, respectively.

Ferromagnetic resonance experiments have been used to investigate the magnetic properties of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method. In the thickness range from $350\;{\AA}$ to $3,200\;{\AA}$, measurements were carried out in a static magnetic field perpendicular and parallel to the film plane and in a conventional 9.44 GHz spectrometer at room temperature. The ferromagnetic resonance spectra by the field perpendicular to the film plane showed standing spin wave. The spacing and the relative intensities between the various spin wave resonance peaks are analysed considering surface magnetic anisotropy. The surface magnetic anisotropy constant ($K_{so},\;K_{sd}$) of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films are $0.02\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively regardless of the film thickness except for $3,200\;{\AA}$ film. In case of $3,200\;{\AA}$ these values are $0.46\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively.

A single phase Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 was prepared by the oxalate method from aqueous solution of BaCl2 TiCl4 and ZrOCl2. The structure ananlysis has been carried out by Rietveld analysis method at room temperature. Powder X-ray data of Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 was indexed with the triclinic lattice(a=7.4587 $\AA$ b=14.0672 $\AA$, c=13.3327 $\AA$, $\alpha$=89.87, $\beta$=79.45 ${\gamma}$=84.46) The R (Residual) values of structure refinement were in a range between 10.00 and 8.00 This analysis proved that the added Zr occupied Ti sites in th structure of Ba2Ti9O20. Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 has excellent dielectric properties(dielectric constant K=40.49 at 5.42 GHz Q=4621) so that it can be used as good microwave dielectric materials.

In this paper, electrical properties in $ZrO_2$-based high-k metal MIM capacitors were studied. Linear voltage coefficient of capacitance (VCC) was 72.375 ppm/V, quadratic VCC was $174.581ppm/V^2$, temperature coefficients of capacitance was $111.01ppm/^{\circ}C$ at 100kHz and $89.497ppm/^{\circ}C$ at 1MHz, which indicate the temperature dependence of electrical parameter for MIM capacitors.

Optical properties of $TiO_2/M/Ag/M/TiO_2$ films have been changed with the diffusion barrier metal M. Optimum opticla properties of $TiO_2/M/Ag/M/TiO_2$ as the transparent heat mirror film, could be obtained with Ti among diffusion barrier metals of Ti, Cu, Zr and Al. $TiO_2/M/Ag/M/TiO_2$ film, which was fabricated by sputtering of 18 nm-thick $TiO_2$ and Ag, and 4nm-thick Ti, showed maximum transimittance of 89% at visible wavelength and infrared reflectance of 97% at wavelength of 3000 nm. Optical properties of this film was not degraded by Xenon-sunshine weather test for 240 hours. For specimens with barrier layers of Cu, Zr, and Al, degradation of optical properties by weather test was increased in a sequence of films with Cu, Zr, and Al barrier layers.

The effect of content of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ sintering additives on the densification behavior, mechanical and electrical properties of the pressureless-sintered $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites was investigated. The $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were pressureless-sintered for 2 hours at 1,700[$^{\circ}C$] temperatures with an addition of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$(6:4 mixture of $Al_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$) as a sintering aid in the range of 8${\sim}$20[wt%]. Phase analysis of $SiC-ZrB_2$ composites by XRD revealed mostly of ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $ZrB_2$ and In Situ YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$). The relative density, flexural strength, Young's modulus and vicker's hardness showed the highest value of 89.01[%], 81.58[Mpa], 31.437[GPa] and 1.34[GPa] for $SiC-ZrB_2$ composites added with 16[wt%] $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature respectively. Abnormal grain growth takes place during phase transformation from ${\beta}$-SiC into ${\alpha}$-SiC was correlated with In Situ YAG phase by reaction between $Al_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ additive during sintering. Compositional design and optimization of processing parameters are key factors for controlling and improving the properties of SiC-based electroconductive ceramic composites. In this paper, it is convinced that ${\beta}$-SiC based electroconductive ceramic composites for heaters or ignitors can be manufactured by pressureless sintering.
