Influence of $La_2O_3$ addition to $CaO-B_2O_3$-based glass on the water leaching resistance of the glass was first investigated. The optimized $La_2O_3-CaO-B_2O_3$(LCB) glass was ball milled for varying time, followed by mixing with $Al_2O_3$ crystalline phase to form $Al_2O_3$-LCB glass composites at $875^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Microwave dielectric properties of the composites were investigated as a function of the ball milling time of the LCB glass. Dielectric constant and quality factor of the composites were 6.31 and 13856 GHz, respectively, when the LCB glass was ball milled for 2h prior to mixing with $Al_2O_3$.

Glasses of $SiO_2-B_{2}O_3-Al_{2}O_3-CaO-La_{2}O_3$ with various amounts of $La_{2}O_3$ were infiltrated into a porous alumina to make an alumina-glass composite. The infiltration characterization and bending strength of the composite were examined in terms of glass composition. $La_{2}O_3$ in the glass decreased the high temperature viscosity and this enhanced the wetting behaviour of this glass to alumina, and made glass infiltration easier. The infiltrated glass dissolved the alumina skeleton, and $Al_{2}O_3$ component in the glass melt reprecipitated on the alumina. The grain growth occurred to a specific crystal direction. The glass containing $20mole\%$ of $La_{2}O_3$ was crystallized after infiltration, and this enhanced the bending strength of the composite.

In this study, lanthanum boron silicate glasses were prepared with a composition of x Li₂O-(60-x)B₂O₃-5CaO-5BaO-7ZnO-10SiO₂-10La₂O₃-3Y₂O₃ where x = 1,3,5,7, and 9 mol%. Each composition was melted in a platinum crucible under atmospheric conditions at 1,400 ℃ for 2 h. Clear glasses with a transmittance exceeding 85 % were fabricated. Their optical, thermal, and physical properties, such as refractive index, Abbe number, density, glass transition (T_g) and Knoop hardness were studied. The results demonstrated that refractive index was between 1.6859 and 1.6953 at 589.3 nm. The Abbe number was calculated using an equation for 589.3 nm (nd), 656.3 nm (nf) and 486.1 nm (nc) and was observed to be in the range from 57.5 to 62.6. As the Li₂O content increased, the glass transition temperature of the optical glass decreased from 608 ℃ to 564 ℃. If glass mold pressing is performed using a material with a low transition temperature and high mechanical strength, then the optical glasses developed in this study can be completely commercialized.

Glass-infiltrated alumina, which can be used as an all-ceramic dental crown, was prepared. The glasses in the system of SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$-CaO-La$_2$O$_3$with various amount of $Al_2$O$_3$infiltrated into a porous sintered alumina. The effect of $Al_2$O$_3$on the infiltration characteristics and its mechanical strength were studied. The corrosion of the sintered alumina by infiltrated glasses was prevented by increasing the amount of $Al_2$O$_3$in the glass batches, this increased the bending strength of the glass infiltrated alumina composite. The crack like voids in the sintered alumina was a cause of the deteriorating the mechanical strength of the composite, and this can be eliminated by sintering the alumina at 130$0^{\circ}C$. Glass infiltration under the vacuum atmosphere enhanced the hording strength of the composite up to 453$\pm$31 MPa.

The thermal stability and crystallization behaviors of La₂O₃ containing B₂O₃-CaO-Al₂O₃ glass waste forms were investigated to evaluate the stability of waste form during emergencies in deep geological disposal. For glasses containing 15% La₂O₃, LaBO₃ phases were observed as major crystals from 780 ℃ and exhibited needlelike structures. Al, Ca, and O were homogeneously distributed throughout the entire specimen, while some portions of B and La were concentrated in some parts. By differential thermal analysis at various heating rates, the activation energy for grain growth and the crystallization rate of LaBO₃ were calculated to be 12.6 kJ/mol and 199.5 kJ/mol, respectively. These values are comparable to other waste forms being developed for the same purpose.

이동통신 시스템의 소형화, 경량화, 다기능화 추세에 따라 이동통신 부품도 단위 부피당 소자의 집적도를 증가시키기 위하여 고집적화 추세로 급진전되고 있다. 이에 따라 세라믹 공정 기술도 고집적 추세로 다층화 되고 있어 수동소자의 내장화에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이를 위하여 다양한 유전율 대역의 이종소재간 접합을 시도하지만 de-lamination, 내부 crack 등의 결함들이 발생하므로 열팽창계수 조절이 용이한 동종의 글라스를 사용하는 것이 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 공통의 글라스를 개발한 후 다양한 필러들을 혼합하여 mm파 대역에서 다양한 유전율을 갖는 LTCC 소재를 개발함으로써, 수동소자의 내장화에 따른 이종접합시의 매칭성을 극대화하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 CaO-$Al_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$계 공통글라스에 $CaZrO_3$, $1.3MgTiO_3$, $2La_2O_3TiO_2$ 필러를 혼합하여 소결체의 미세구조, 유전특성 및 열기계적 특성을 고찰하였다. 이때 유전율 6에서 20에 이르는 저손실 소재를 개발할 수 있었다.

In this study, 12 different chemical species of fine ceramic($BaTiO_3$) were synthesized as the standard materials for the fast and accurate measurements of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Samples were diluted to sixteen times with the filling compound ($Li_2B_4O_7+LiBO_2$) in order to remove the matrix effect, and to get the convenient storage and homogeneity of ingredients. The matrix effects among the ingredients were corrected by the empirical coefficient method based on the Lucas-Tooth and Price model. The standard curve on 12 standard materials containing 15 elements were obtained by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry at three different laboratories. The correlation factors of BaO, PbO, SrO, $Fe_2O_3$, $La_2O_3$, $SnO_2$, ZnO, $ZrO_2$, CaO indicated the relati vely good agreement over 0.995 among the three different laboratories. $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ showed the poor linearity because of their low fluorescence intensities.

Over the last few years, lead-free inorganic metal perovskites have gained impressive ground in empowering satellites in space exploration owing to their material stability and performance evolution under extreme space environments. The present work has examined the versatility of eight such perovskites as space radiation shielding materials by computing their photon, charged particles and neutron interaction parameters. Photon interaction parameters were calculated for a wide energy range using PAGEX software. The ranges of heavy charged particles (H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si and Fe ions) in these perovskites were estimated using SRIM software in the energy range 1 keV-10 GeV, and that of electrons was computed using ESTAR NIST software in the energy range 0.01 MeV-1 GeV. Further, the macroscopic fast neutron removal cross-sections were also calculated to estimate the neutron shielding efficiencies. The examined shielding parameters of the perovskites varied depending on the radiation type and energy. Among the selected perovskites, Cs₂TiI₆ and Ba₂AgIO₆ displayed superior photon attenuation properties. A 3.5 cm thick Ba₂AgIO₆-based shield could reduce the incident radiation intensity to half its initial value, a thickness even lesser than that of Pb-glass. Besides, CsSnBr₃ and La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ displayed the highest and lowest range values, respectively, for all heavy charged particles. Ba₂AgIO₆ showed electron stopping power (on par with Kovar) better than that of other examined materials. Interestingly, La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ demonstrated neutron removal cross-section values greater than that of standard neutron shielding materials - aluminium and polyethylene. On the whole, the present study not only demonstrates the employment prospects of eco-friendly perovskites for shielding space radiations but also suggests future prospects for research in this direction.
