Ferroelectric Bi4Ti3012 thin films have been grown on LaAlO(001) by Pulsed-laser deposition. Phase formation and structural films prepared of the films prepared at varigus deposition temperatures are investigated using x-ray diffraction The film grown at 740℃ shows epitaxial growth behavior with c-akis normal to the substrate. N2tBmstiucCures of Bi4Ti3012/YBa2Cu307-x/LaAIO3(001) have been in-situ grown. Even though the a-and b-axes of the Yba2Cu307-x layer show epitaxial growth behavior.

$La_{2/3}TiO_3$, $La_2Ti_2O_7$ are used in various parts by dielectric properties. The purpose of the present study is to understand the photoluminescence properties of $Al^{3+}\;and\;Pr^{3+}$ doped perovskite-type $La_{2/3}TiO_3$ and pyrochlore-type $La_2Ti_2O_7$ phosphor, which characterized by the red emission $(^1D_2{\rightarrow}^3H_4)\;of\;Pr^{3+}$ of $Pr^{3+}$ ion. The explanation for the energy transfer and the corresponding critical distance were proposed on the role of Al^3+ ions as energy transfer mediates in perovskite-type $La_{2/3}TiO_3$:Pr phosphor. In order to clarify the distinction of photoluminescence propoerties between the perovskite-type $La_{2/3}TiO_3$ and the pyrochlore $La_2Ti_2O_7$, the trap-involved process and the charge transfer band have been investigated.

The perovskites in the $LaAlO_3-BaZrO_3$ system (i.e., $(1-x)LaAlO_3-xBaZrO_3$ were fabricated by a solid state reaction and their dielectric properties were investigated. For the compositions of x=0.1~0.9, the mixture of $LaAlO_3$ with a rhombohedral structure and $BaZrO_3$ with a cubic was observed when the sintering was conducted at $1500^{\circ}C$, indicating that the solubility of constituent elements was very low and a narrow solid solution region might exist. The large difference of ionic radii between $La^{3+}$ ion (0.136nm, C.N.=12) and $Ba^{2+}$ ion (0.161nm) or $Al^{3+}$ ion (0.0535nm, C.N.=6) and $Zr^{4+}$ ion (0.072nm) might hinder the mutual substitution. Within the compositions of x=0~0.7, the dielectric constant of the mixture increased with the amount of $BaZrO_3$, i.e., x value, which was in good agreement with the logarithmic mixing rule (In $_{r,i}={\Sigma}v_iln\;_{r,i}$). The increase in $BaZrO_3$ doping decreased $Q{\times}f$ value significantly due to the low $Q{\times}f$ value of $BaZrO_3$ itself, a poor microstructure of the mixture with an increased grain boundary area per volume, and defects in the cation and oxygen sub-lattices which were respectively caused by the evaporation of barium during the sintering process and the substitution of Ba on La-site or Al on Zr-site.

Oxides possess several interesting properties, such as ferroelectricity, magnetism, superconductivity, and multiferroic behavior, which can effectively be used oxide electronics based on epitaxially grown heterostructures. The microscopic properties of oxide interfaces may have a strong impact on the electrical transport properties of these heterostructures. It was recently demonstrated that high electrical conductivity and mobility can be achieved in the system of an ultrathin $LaAlO_3$ film deposited on a $TiO_2$-terminated $SrTiO_3$ substrate, which was a remarkable result because the conducting layer was at the interface between two insulators. In this study, we observe that the current-voltage characteristics exhibit $LaAlO_3$ thickness dependence of electrical conductivity in $TiO_2$-terminated $SrTiO_3$. We find that the $LaAlO_3$ layers with a thickness of up 3 unit cells, result in highly insulating interfaces, whereas those with thickness of 4 unit cells and above result in conducting interfaces.

The microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)$LaAlO_3-xCaTiO_3$ system were investigated. As the amount of $LaAlO_3$ increased, the value of the unloaded Q increased, but the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) decreased. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$) of $5ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained from the composition of $0.35LaAlO_3-0.65CaTiO_3$ in which the values of ${\varepsilon}_r$ and $Q{\cdot}f_o$ were 42 and 32,500, respectively.

LaAlO3d single phase used as the butter layer on Si wafer for YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ superconductor application were prepared by solid state reaction method and by self-sustaining combustion process. The microstructure and crystallity of synthesiszed LaAlO3 powder studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD), specific surface area and sintering characteristics fo powder were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method and dilatometer respectively. In solid state reaction method, it is difficult to obtain LaAlO3 single phase up to 150$0^{\circ}C$ period. However, in self-sustaining combustion process, it is to easy to do it only $650^{\circ}C$. Based on the results of analysis of dilatometer it is easier to obtain high sintering density (98.87%) in self-sustaining combustion process than in the solid state reaction method. This reason is that the average particle size prepared by self-sustaining combustion process is nano crystal size and has high specific surface are value(56.54 $m^2$/g) compared with that by solid state reaction method. Also, LaAlO3 layer on the Si wafer has been achieved by screen printing and sintering method. Even though the sintering temperature is 130$0^{\circ}C$, the phenomena of silicon out diffusion in LaAlO3/Si interphase are not observed.

The effects of the annealing atmospheres(O2, N2) and sintering additives that Bi2O3 is a major composition on the microwave dielectric and sintering propertie of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 system were investigated. The annealing atmospheres and the increase of annealing time after sintering did not affect the relative dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 system. However, the Q.f0 values of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 were very sensitive to annealing atmospheres. As the annealing time increased under O2 atmosphere the Q.f0 values of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 enhanced untill 10 hrs in 0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.6 region, but degraded over that time. The increasing rate of Q.f0 value increased wth increasing x. On the other hand, as the annealing time increased under N2 atmosphere the Q.f0 values were constant in x$\leq$0.6 region, increased gradually in x$\geq$0.7 region. When 0.97Bi2O3-0.03Al2O3 and 0.76Bi2O3-0.24NiO of 3wt% as sintering additives were added to (Ca0.5La0.5) (Ti0.5Al0.5)O3 (x=0.5) the sintering temperature of 1$600^{\circ}C$ was lowered to 140$0^{\circ}C$, and the relative dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) were not nearly changed. The addition of 0.97Bi2O3-0.03Al2O3 and 0.76Bi2O3-0.24NiO of 3wt% to (Ca0.5La0.5)(Ti0.5Al0.5)O3 made the Q.f0 values to be lower about 15% and 34%, respectively.

Electrical characteristics of perovskite phases in the BaCe0.9R0.1O3-$\delta$(R=La, Yb and Al) system have been studied. Electrical conductivities of all specimens in air were higher than those in N2 atmosphers between 600 and 100$0^{\circ}C$. When temperature was elevated, the electrical conductivity difference between both atmospheres increased. Electrical conductivity of Yb3+ doped BaCeO3 specimen was higher than those of the La3+ and Al3+ doped specimens. The BaCe0.0Al0.1O3-$\delta$ showed higher proton transference number than both BaCe0.9Yb0.1O3-$\delta$ and BaCe0.9La0.1O3-$\delta$.

LaAlO3 Single crystals used as a substrate for thin film depositions of a high temperature oxide su-perconductor YB2Cu3O7 and applied to microwave frequencies were grown by the Traveling Solvent Flati-ing Zone (TSFZ) method and characterized. For the growth of LaAlO3 single crystals polycrystalline fe-edrods were prepared from powder mixture of La2O3 and Al2O3 with a mole ratio of 1:1 calcined at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 3h and sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h The growth LaAlO3 crystals was 4-5mm in diameter 30mm in length and dark brown. The growth rate was 2-3mm/h and the rotation speeds were 10rpm for an upper ro-tation and 40 rpm for a lower rotation The growing crystals and the feedrods were counter-rotated. The orientation of the grown single crystals of LaAlO3 was identified to be [111] direction. Dielectric constants were measured to be 30-33 between 100 kHz and 1 MHz in the 30$0^{\circ}C$ to 45$0^{\circ}C$ temperature range and 102 in a range of 100 kHz at the phase transformation temperature of 522$^{\circ}C$ Dielectric losses were calculated to be 1.8$\times$10-4 at the room temperature and 5.7$\times$10-3 at the phase transformation temperature. Lattice con-stants of the grown crystlals were determined to be aR=5.3806 $\AA$ and $\alpha$=60.043$^{\circ}$ by the least square method.
