The coating N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on gold surfaces may be used to design the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the $ZrO_2$ surface or vice versa by adjusting the electrostatic interactions. In this study, it was performed to find out electrostatic properties of the NAC-coated-gold surface and the $ZrO_2$ surface. The surface forces between the surfaces were measured as a function of the salt concentration and pH value using the AFM. By applying the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory to the surface forces, the surface potential and charge density of the surfaces were quantitatively acquired for each salt concentration and each pH value. The dependence of the potential and charge density on the concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was with the ionizable groups on the surface.

We have mapped the W 3 giant molecular cloud in the $C^o\;^3P_1-^3 P_o$ ([CI]) line with the Mount Fuji Submillimeter-wave Telescope. The [CI] emission is extended over the molecular cloud, having peaks at three star forming clouds; W 3(Main), W 3(OH), and AFGL 333. The [CI] emission is found to be strong in the AFGL 333 cloud. We have also observed the $C^{18}O,\;CCS,\;N_2H^+$, and $H^{13}CO^+$ lines by using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope. In the AFGL 333 cloud, we find two massive cores, which are highly gravitationally bound and have no sign of active star formation. The high [$C^o$]/[CO] and [CCS]/[$N_2H^+$] abundance ratios suggest that the AFGL 333 cloud is younger than the W 3(Main) and W 3(OH) clouds.

The degradation behaviour of ZPCCL-based varistor ceramics composed of 97.5 mol%ZnO-0.5 mol% $Pr_6O_{11}-1.0$ mol% $Cr_2O_3-0.5$ mol% $La_2O_3$ was investigated under various DC accelerated aging streses. The varistor ceramics sintered for 1 h exhibited excellent nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 81.6 and the leakage current is $0.2{\mu}A$. It was found that this varistor ceramics possess high stability, in which the variation rates of varistor voltage, nonlinear exponent, and leakage current are -1.14%, -3.7%, and 85.0%, respectively, against DC accelerated aging stress. On the contrary, the varistor ceramics sintered for 2 h also exhibited high nonlinearity and stability, but they were bad characteristics, compared with the varistor ceramics sintered for 1 h.

Silicon dioxide thin film has been grown by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique using SiH4, and O2 gaseous mixture on a silicon substrate. The experimental results indicated that the deposition rate as a function of the input ratio (O2/SiH4) shows two regions, increasing region and decreasing region. Also the deposition rate increases with increasing the deposition temperature. The microstructure of deposited silicon dioxide films is amorphous. The experimental results of infrared absorption spectrums indicate that Si-H and Si-OH bond increase with decreasing input ratio, but Si-O bond is independent on the input ratio. The interfacial charge of deposited silicon dioxide decreases with increasing input ratio.

The preflashover light emission of the $SiO_2$-dielectric system behavior under high electric field is discussed. Time dependence of the voltage drop, electrical current, and light emission, are analyzed for high-purity $SiO_2$-vacuum systems under impulse voltage stress. We will summarize the experimental results showing the main feature of the time-dependent system response up to breakdown.

It is found that that the coating N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on gold surfaces may be used to design the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the $TiO_2$ surface or vice versa by adjusting the electrostatic interactions. In this study, we investigated electrostatic properties of the NAC-coated-gold surface and the $TiO_2$ surface. The surface forces between the surfaces were measured as a function of the salt concentration and pH value using the AFM. By applying the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory to the surface forces, the surface potential and charge density of the surfaces were quantitatively acquired for each salt concentration and each pH value. The surface potential and charge density dependence on the salt concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was with the ionizable groups on the surface.

In proton-conducting perovskites, oxygen ions and protons make a diffusion pair for a chemical diffusion and thus lead to the transport of $H_2O$ under its chemical potential gradient. The present manuscript develops relationships between the chemical diffusion coefficient of $H_2O$ and the diffusion coefficients of protons and oxygen vacancies with an emphasis on the thermodynamic behavior of the oxygen vacancies. Depending on the degree of hydration X, two different expressions of the chemical diffusion coefficient were obtained : equation omitted and equation omitted.

A new $N_4O_3$ heptadentate ligand, N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-bis[(2-aminoethyl)amino]-2-propanol(H-BAP 4HCl)was synthesized. The hydrochloric acid salts of Br-BAP 4HCl, Cl-BAP 4HCl, $CH_3O$-BAP 4HCl and $CH_3$-BAP 4HCl containing Br-, Cl-, H-, $CH_3O-$ and $CH_{3^-}$ groups at the para-site of the phenol group of the H-BAP were synthesized. The structures of the ligands were confirmed by C. H. N. atomic analysis and $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, UV-visible and mass spectra. The elemental stepwise protonation constants(${logK_n}^H$) of the synthesized $N_4O_3$ ligands showed six steps of the proton dissociation. The orders of the overall dissociation constants($log{\beta}_p$) of the ligands were Br-BAP < Cl-BAP < H-BAP < $CH_3O$-BAP < $CH_3$-BAP. The orders agreed well with that of Hammett substituent constants($\sigma_p$). The calculated stability constants($logK_{ML}$) between the ligands and transition metal ions agreed well with the order of the overall proton dissociation constants of the ligands but they showed a reverse order in Hammestt substituent constants($\sigma_p$). The order of the stability constants between the transition metal ions with the ligands were Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Pb(II).

The formation behavior of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(Y123) and CuO phases in the heat-treated Cu-sheathed YBCO thick films was studied. The thick films were prepared by screen-printing method using $BaCO_3$ and Y211 powders on Cu tapes. The screen-printed thick films were placed at the center of the tube furnace, heated to $930^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere and then maintained at the temperature for 60 sec - 300 sec. The microstructure and phases formed in the thick films were investigated by using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM image analysis. During the heat treatment, partial melting occurred rapidly in the printed layers by peritectic reaction between CuO and precursor powders, and then YBCO superconducting phases nucleated from the Cu tapes and grew in a form of thick films.

Fine particles of $SnO_2$ were fabricated by the sol-gel powder processing using tine(II) chloride dihydrate($SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$) and ethanol($C_2H_5OH$) as raw materials. The powders were investigated about the properties and electrical sensing. Gel powders were fabricated by drying of sol at $120^{\circ}C$ after aging 72hrs and 168hrs. The amount of $SnO_2$ phase was increased below $600^{\circ}C$ due to the elimination of volatile components, and the $SnO_2$ phase was almost completed by the heat treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The grain sizes were about 30nm below $700^{\circ}C$, and it showed the narrow distribution of the grain sizes. The specimens to measure electrical properties were fabricated by the thick film screen printing technique on the alumina substrates. The conductance of $SnO_2$ was showed the intrinsic behaviour of semiconducting ceramics above at $450^{\circ}C$. The constant conductance was observed in the temperature range of $200{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. The sensing properties of response time, recovery, and sensitivity of CO were improved with aging time.
