$La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Ti_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSTF) coated $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$(BSCF) membranes which has properties of high oxygen permeability and stability to $CO_2$ were applied to a bench scale apparatus to conduct oxygen permeation experiments. Also, the membranes of the laboratory and the bench scale device were divided into three regions according to the temperature gradient in the membrane reactor for comparative analysis. While oxygen permeation experiment were conducted up to $900^{\circ}C$, temperature dependence of Cr deposition was investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that the oxygen permeability was $2.37ml/min{\cdot}cm^2$, which was significantly lower than $3.79ml/min{\cdot}cm^2$ measured in the laboratory apparatus. It was found through XRD and SEM/EDS analysis that the decrease in oxygen permeability was originated from the deposition of gaseous Cr on the membrane surface released from the alloy material of the housing. In particular, a large amount of Cr was found in the medium temperature region.

Cobalt (Co) compounds have been used for centuries to impart rich blue color to glass, glazes and ceramics. Cobalt monoxide (CoO), an oxide of Co, is an inorganic compound that has long been used as a coloring agent in the ceramic industry. Unlike other coloring agents, CoO can be used to develop colors other than blue, and several factors such as its concentration in the glaze and firing condition have been suggested as possible mechanisms. For example, CoO produces a typical blue color called "cobalt blue" at very low concentrations such as 1 wt% in both oxidation and reduction firing conditions; a higher concentration of CoO (5 wt%) develops a darker blue color under the same firing conditions. Interestingly, CoO also develops a purple color at high concentrations above 10 wt%. In this study, we examined the applicability and mechanism of a novel purple glaze containing cobalt(II, III) oxide, one of the well characterized cobalt oxides. Experimental results show that an Augite crystal isoform (Augite-Fe/Co) in which Fe was replaced with Co is the main component contributing to the formation of the purple color. Based on these results, we developed a glaze using chemically synthesized Augite-Fe/Co crystal as a color pigment. Purple color glaze was successfully developed by the addition of 6~15 wt% of $Co_3O_4$ to magnesia lime.

High spin iron(II) complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), a macrocyclic ligand, and 1,5,8,12-tetraazadodecane (3,2,3-tet), a noncyclic ligand, have been prepared. The reaction of low spin $[Fe(cyclam)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ with chloride ion in methanol produces high-spin $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4$. Although $[Fe(cyclam)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ is low spin, $[Fe(3,2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ isolated in the present study is high spin. This difference is explained in terms of the smaller constrictive effect exerted by the noncyclic ligand than the cyclic ligand. The isolation of $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4$ provides evidences against the current view that the presence of either unsaturation or substituents on the macrocyclic ligands is necessary for the successful preparation of high spin five-coordinate iron (II) complexes. Reactions of $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4\;and\;[Fe(3,2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ with carbon monoxide yield low spin six-coordinate $[Fe(cyclam)Cl(CO)]ClO_4\;and\;[Fe(3.2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)(CO)](ClO_4)_2$, respectively.

A new class of compounds in the form of skutterudite structure, Fe doped $CoSb_3$ with a nominal composition of $Fe_xCo_{4-x}Sb_{12}$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}2.5$), were synthesized by mechanical alloying of elemental powders followed by vacuum hot pressing. Nanostructured, single-phase skutterudites were successfully produced by vacuum hot pressing using as-milled powders without subsequent heat-treatments for the compositions of $x{\leq}1.5$. However, second phase was found to form in case of $x{\geq}2$, suggesting the solubility limit of Fe with Co in this system. Thermoelectric properties including thermal conductivity from 300 to 600 K were measured and discussed. Lattice thermal conductivity was greatly reduced by introducing a dopant up to x=1.5 as well as by increasing phonon scattering in nanostructured skutterudite, leading to enhancement in the thermoelectric figure of merit. The maximum figure of merit was found to be 0.32 at 600 K in the composition of $Fe_xCo_{4-x}Sb_{12}$.

A new ionic liquid functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticle was synthesized and characterized and tested as an adsorbent. The adsorbent was used for magnetic solid phase extraction on ICP-MS method. Simultaneous determination of precious metal Au has been addressed. The method is simple and fast and has been applied to standard water and surface water analysis. A new method for separation/analysis of trace precious metal Au by Magnetron Solid Phase Extraction (MSPE) combined with ICP-MS. The element to be tested is rapidly adsorbed on CoFe2O4@SiO2@[BMIM]PF6 composite nano-adsorbent and eluted with thiourea. The method has a preconcentration factor of 9.5-fold. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of gold in actual water samples. Hydrophobic Ionic Liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]PF6) coated CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with core-shell structure to prepare magnetic solid phase extraction agent (CoFe2O4@SiO2@ILs) and establish a new method of MSPE coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for separation/analysis of trace gold. The results showed that trace gold was adsorbed rapidly by CoFe2O4@SiO2@[BMIM]PF6 and eluanted by thiourea. Under the optimal conditions, preconcentration factor of the proposed method was 9.5-fold. The linear range, detection limit, correlation coefficient (R) and relative standard deviation (RSD) were found to be 0.01~1000.00 ng·mL-1, 0.001 ng·mL-1, 0.9990 and 3.4% (n = 11, c = 4.5 ng·mL-1). The CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticles could be used repeatedly for 8 times. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace gold in water samples.

We have produced nanophase iron clusters inside a gas cell by decomposing iron pentacarbonyls from the mixture of ~20 Torr Fe(CO)5/~3 Torr SF6 with a pulsed CO2 laser. The product displayed a black tint. Its composition was identified to be mostly iron from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectrum. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicates a body-centered cubic structure for the cluster. A transmission electron micrograph proves that their diameter ranges between 50 and 70 Å and their average diameter is 60 Å.

The magnetic properties of sputtered ($Ni_{83}Fe_{17}/Au/Co/Au$) multilayers with various thicknesses of Au (0.5 {\leq} t_{Au} {\leq} 3 nm), Ni-Fe ($1{\leq}t_{Ni-Fe}{\leq}4nm$) and Co ($0.2{\leq}t_{co}{\leq}1.5nm$) layers were characterized. An alternating in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropy of the ferromagnetic layers was achieved for the structures ($t_{Au}{\geq}1.5nm$) showing a weak coupling between the Ni-Fe layers with an in-plane anisotropy and the Co layers ($0.3{\leq}t_Co{\leq}1.2nm$) with a perpendicular anisotropy. For such a structure, a detailed discussion on the GMR effect is presented, relating to the magnetization reversal from a mutually perpendicular magnetic configuration at the remanence to a parallel one at the saturation. An influence of the dense labyrinth domain structure on the magnetoresistance effect is also addressed.

The composition, the preferred orientation and the magnetic properties of the CoFeCu alloys electrodepositen under various electrolysis conditions in sulfate baths ware investigated. As the D.C. current density increased, the Co content in alloy electrodeposits increased, while the Cu content decreased and Fe content remained content. The effect of magnetic field up to 300 Oe on the composition of alloys was negligible. The Cu content of the alloys deposited in pulse current increased noticeably with increasing off-time, while the Co and Fe content decreased. The coercivity of the alloys with 3.5 to 7.0wt.% Cu was 1.0 to 2.0 Oe, but increased noticeably above and below that composition. The application of magnetic field during deposition decreased the coercivity of alloys. The saturation flux density of the alloys with 3.5 to 5.0wt.% Cu was relatively high in the range from 16 to 20.7Gauss. The anisotropy field(HK) of the alloys deposited under the magnetic field(50∼300 Oe) ranged from 18 to 22 Oe. The alloys had fcc structure with (111) preferred orientation, whose distribution increased a little with increasing magnetic field.

N-type ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ with a nominal composition of $Fe_{0.98}Co_{0.02}Si_2$ powders has been produced by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. As-milled powders were of metastable state and fully transformed to ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ phase by subsequent isothermal annealing. However, as-consolidated $Fe_{0.98}Co_{0.02}Si_2$ consisted of untransformed mixture of ${\alpha}-Fe_2Si_ 5$ and $\varepsilon$-FeSi phases. Isothermal annealing has been carried out to induce the transformation to a thermoelectric semiconducting ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ phase. The transformation behavior of ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ was investigated by utilizing DTA, a modified TGA under magnetic field, SEM, and XRD analyses. Isothermal annealing at $830^{\circ}C$ in vacuum led to the thermoelectric semiconducting ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ phase transformation, but some residual metallic $\alpha$ and $\varepsilon$ phases were unavoidable even after prolonged annealing. Thermoelectric properties were remarkably improved by isothermal annealing due to the transformation from metallic $\alpha$ and $\varepsilon$ phases to semiconducting phases.
