The effect of metal oxides($K_2O, MgO, CaO,Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$) on the kinds of pure $SiO_2$ phase, and $SiO_2$ phases in the composition of vitreous porcelain body was investigated. Also, the effect of the ratio $SiO_2$ to $Al_2O_3$ in the composition of porcelain body with stabilized of cristobalite phase was investigated. In the case of the addition of $K_2O, MgO, CaO, Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$ to pure $SiO_2$, the major phase was $\alpha$-cristobalite, $\alpha$-cristobalite, $\alpha$-quartz, $\alpha$-quartz and amorphous, respectively. As the ratio of $SiO_2$ to $Al_2O_3$ in the composition of porcelain body was decreased, the stabilization of cristobalite phase was promoted and only the critical value of $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio that stabilizing the cristobalite phase in it was 68.10/22.75. The addition of $K_2$O, MgO, CaO,Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$ to the composition of porcelain body stabilized already did not affect on the formation of $\alpha$-cristobalite phase which degraded the thermal properties of porcelain body, and suppressed the formation of a, $\beta$-cristobalite.

This is a study on the effects of cristobalite transition of quartz in semi-vitrious whiteware body, as addition of alkali and alkali earth oxides, prepared by pottery stone, feldspar, kaolin and clay minerals. The amounts of ${\alpha}$-quartz to ${\alpha}$-cristobalite transition, F.O.C. (fraction of cristobalite), were increased with firing temperature. In MgO added body, ${\alpha}$-quartz was decreased and the formation of cristobalite was increased. Effects of K2O addition was remarkably decreased the formation of cristobalite. Additive effects of MgO and K2O were confirmed that it was very different to variation of transition temperature of metakaolinite to Si-Al spinel structure in thermal reaction of kaolinite minerals. Result CaO addition was ineffective to transition temperature, and the transition temperature in Na2O added body was decreased, but relative intensity of quartz and cristobalite crystal in XRD results was decreased. This was characterized by the effects on the formation of liquid phase much more.

A chemically stabilized $\beta$-cristobalite, which is stabilized by stuffing cations of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}$, was prepared by a solution-polymerization route employing Pechini resin or PVA solution as a polymeric carrier. The polymeric carrier affected the crystallization temperature, morphology of calicined powder, and particle size distribution. In case of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution process, a fine $\beta$-cristobalite powder with a narrow particle size distribution (average particle size : 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$) and a BET specific surface area of 72 $\m^2$/g was prepared by an attrition-milling for 1 h after calcination at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Wider particle size distribution and higher specific surface area were observed for the $\beta$-cristobalite powder derived from Pechini resin. The cubie(P1-to-tetraganalb) phase transformation in polynystalline $\beta$-cristobalite was induced at approximately 18$0^{\circ}C$. Like other materials showing transformation toughening, a critical size effect controlled the $\beta$-to-$\alpha$ transformation. Densifed cristobalite sample had some cracks in its internal texture after annealing. The cracks, occurred spontaneoulsy on cooling, were observed in the sample with an average grain sizes of 4.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ or above. In case of the sintered cristobalite having a composition of CaO.$2Al_2O_3$.40SiO$_2$, small amount of amorphous phase and slow grain growth during annealing were observed. Shear stress-induced transformation was also observed in ground specimen. Cristobalite having a composition of CaO.2Al2O3.80SiO2 showed a more sensitive response to shear stress than the CaO.$2Al_2O_3$.40SiO$_2$ type cristobalite. Shear-induced transformation resulted in an increase of volume about 13% in $\alpha$-cristobalite phase on annealing for above 10 h in the case of the former composition.

High pressure x-ray diffraction patterns of ${\alpha}$-cristobalite gallium phosphate ($GaPO_4$) were acquired up to 8.9 GPa at room temperature using Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell with high flux synchrotron radiation. Starting orthorhombic phase (phase-I) shows the splitting of peak which is possibly resulted from the pressure induced orientation disorder of the framework structure of tetrahedra. This is designated as phase-I'. This phase transforms to the orthorhombic high pressure phase-III between 2 and 3 GPa. Present phase transition sequence is not in accord with the recent high pressure X-ray diffraction results performed on the same starting sample (Ming et al., 2007). X-ray pattern of the unloaded sample to ambient pressure shows that the structure retains that of the high pressure phase prior to decompression.

In order to avoid un-uniform crystallization on the surface of a quartz glass crucible that is known to affect the production yield of the single crystal silicon, Ba (barium) was selected as a crystallization promotor and the inner surface of the crucible was coated using Ba (barium hydroxide octahydrate)-solution by the spray pyrolysis method. For un-coated crucible, it was found that the crystallization of its surface started at $1350^{\circ}C$, and at $1450^{\circ}C$ the surface was uniformly crystallized with ${\beta}$-cristobalite phase. It was found that the crucible coated with Ba began to be crystallized from $1000^{\circ}C$ and was uniformly crystallized on the crucible surface at $1300^{\circ}C$. In this case, ${\alpha}$-cristobalite and needle-shaped $BaSi_2O_5$ phase were created and disappeared as a crystal phase, and the ${\beta}$-cristobalite phase was eventually evenly distributed over the Ba-coated crucible surface.

This study is to quantify α-quartz, cristobalite and kaolinite using by FTIR in respirable dust generated in the mining workplace. Various minerals in mines can interfere with peaks when quantifying respirable crystalline silica by FTIR. Therefore, for accurate quantification, it is necessary to remove interfering substances or correct the peaks that cause interference. To confirm the peaks occurring in α-quartz, cristobalite and kaolinite, each standard material was diluted with KBr and scanned in the range of 400 cm^-1 to 4000 cm^-1 using by FTIR. As a result of scanning the analytes, it was decided to use the peaks of 797.66 cm^-1 and 695.25 cm^-1 for α-quartz, 621.58 cm^-1 for cristobalite, and 3696.47 cm^-1 for kaolinite. When the above materials are mixed, interference occurs at the peak for quantification, which is corrected by the calculation formula. The analysis of the mixture of α-quartz and cristobalite shows the average bias (%) of 2.64 (corrected) at α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1), 5.61 (uncorrected) at α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1) and 1.51 (uncorrected) at cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1). The analysis of the mixture of α-quartz and kaolinite shows the average bias(%) of 1.79(corrected) at α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1), 3.92 (corrected) at α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1) and 2.58 (uncorrected) at kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1). The analysis of the mixture of cristobalite and kaolinite shows the average bias (%) of 2.15 (corrected) at cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1), 4.32 (uncorrected) at kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1). The analysis of the mixture of αquartz and cristobalite and kaolinite shows the average bias (%) of 1.93(corrected) at α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1), 6.47 (corrected) at α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1) and 1.77 (corrected) at cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1) and 2.61 (uncorrected) at kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1). The experimental results showed that the deviation caused by peak interference by two or three substances could be corrected to less than 6 % of the average deviation. This study showed the possibility of correcting and quantifying when various interfering substances that are difficult to remove are mixed.

Wire-woven Kagome is a kind of Periodic Cellular Metal, which is known to have high strength, stiffness for its weight, and potential for mass production. In this work, we developed a new structure that mimics ${\alpha}$-cristobalite. First, an ordinary wire-woven Kagome was fabricated using metallic wires, and the tetrahedral cells were then filled with metal balls and epoxy. The wire-woven Kagome was transformed to have a negative Poisson's ratio by carrying out a specified amount of initial deformation. The fabrication possibility and kinematic behavior were checked by using FEA simulation. Finally, the mechanical properties were measured using compressive tests.

This research carried out composition analysis the subject of potteries from kiln site at Gangwon-do, Chungcheong Nam∙Buk-do and the followings are the results. Firstly, XRD analysis results showed that soft potteries were consisted of $\alpha$-quartz, feldspar and soil minerals while hard potteries were consisted of high temperature crystals like mullite, tridymite and cristobalite. Secondly, the firing temperatures of the soft potteries were determined using XRD analysis. It ranged from $550^{\circ}C$ to $870^{\circ}C$.While the firing temperatures of the hard potteries were divided into 3 groups; Group Ⅰ: Potteries with Mullite and Feldspar - ranged from $1000^{\circ}C$ to$1200^{\circ}C$. Group II : Potteries with Mullite and Tridymite - ranged from $875^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$. Group III : Potteries with Cristobalite - ranged above $1200^{\circ}C$.Thirdly, the result of correlation analysis using trace element such asSc, Rb of the potteries form Gangwon do and Chungcheong Nam.Bukdokilns allowed us to divide the area with their own characteristics into 4-groups. Using the same result, kilns sited at Chungcheong Nam.Buk-do were classified into 3-groups.
