Variations of reaction sequence of $Pb(Zn_{0.6}Mg_{0.4})_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3$[PZMN] with precusor mixing methods were ex-amined using X-ray diffraction and dielectric characteristics. In the present study three different types of precursor mixing methods (oxide mixing PbO+$ZnNb_2O_6+MgNb_2O_6$[Zn+MN] and PbO+(Zn,Mg)$Nb_2O_6$[ZMN] precursor mixing) were adopted. When the oxide mixing method was used for the PZMN synthesis a Zn-rich perovskite phase and pyrochlore phase were formed. Compared with PbO+ZN+MN precursor mixing method the PbO-ZMN precursor led to a lowering of the formation temperature for perovskite sin-gle phase. These variation of composition and formation temperature of the perovskite phase were dis-cussed in terms of the difference in the solid-reaction requence between these three different types of pre-cursor mixing.

p-형 반도체인 Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) 광 흡수 층은 이보다 에너지 밴드 간격이 큰 n-형 반도체와 이종 접합을 형성한다. 흡수층과 윈도우층 사이의 결정구조 차이와 밴드갭 에너지 차이를 완화시키기 위해 버퍼층이 필요하다. 버퍼층을 형성하는 물질로 화학적 용액 성장법(Chemical Bath deposition)을 사용한 CdS가 많이 적용되어 왔으나 Cd의 유해성 및 습식 공정으로 인한 연속공정에 대한 어려움이 있다. 따라서 버퍼층을 Cd을 포함하지 않는 ZnS, $In_2S_3$, (Zn, Mg)O 등과 같은 물질로 대체하여 원자층 증착법(Atomic Layer Deposition), 펄스레이져증착법(Pulsed Laser Deposition), 스퍼터링(sputtering) 등과 같은 건식으로 성장시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $ZnO_{1-x}S_x$ ($0.2{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$)를 반응성 스퍼터링으로 증착하여 큰 밴드갭 에너지와 높은 광투과율를 갖는 버퍼층을 제작하였다. CIGS 박막의 손상을 줄여주기 위하여 RF 파워는 240, 200, 150, 100 W로 변화시켰다. CIGS 태양전지의 I-V 측정 결과, RF 파워가 150 W일 때 10.7%의 가장 높은 변환 효율을 보였고, 150 W 이상에서는 파워가 증가할 때 단락전류는 감소하였으며 개방전압은 다소 증가하였다. 반면 100 W에서 단락전류는 다소 증가하는 것에 반해 개방 전압이 급격히 낮아졌다. 이것은 파워에 따라 결합되는 산소의 양이 다르기 때문으로 생각된다.

Spinel $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ and $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn) powders were synthesized by solid-state method at $800^{\circ}C$ for 37h. Crystal structure and electrochemical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance to $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$. All cathode material showed spinel structure in X-ray diffraction. Ununiform distortion which calculated by (111) face and (222) face was almost constant in spite of the change of the kind and the substituting ratio of the metal cation in $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn). $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$ cell substituted $Mg^{+2}$ and $Zn^{+2}$ showed excellent discharge capacities than other cells, which it presented about 120mAh/g at the 1st cycle and about 73mAh/g at the 250th cycle, respectively. AC impedance of $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4/Li$ cells showed the similar resistance of about 65~110$\Omega$ before cycling.

An overview is given to optimize the solid state processes toward phase pure and well-crystallized fine particulates of mixed oxides, serving as electroceramic materials in various genres. Elevation of the reactivity and preservation of stoichiometry of the starting mixture are of universal importance. Mechanical activation is versatile for these purposes, particularly when an oxygen atom as a hinge promotes formation of hetero-bridging bonds between dissimilar cationic species prior to calcination. Case studies carried out recently in the author's laboratory are displayed and compared for ferroelectric materials, i.e. $PbMg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_3$ $xPbTiO_3$(PMN-PT), $(1-y)Pb(Zn_xMg{1-x})_{1/3}$ $yNb_{2/3}O_3$ (PZN-PMN), $BaBi_2Ta_2O_9$ (BBT), $Ba(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})O_3$ (BMT), and ferromagnetics, i.e. M-, Y-, and Z-phases of Ba-hexaferrites.

[ $ZnCr_2O_4$ ]를 모물질로 하고 MgO, $TiO_2$를 몰비로 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, 및 8:1이 되게 정량적으로 조합한 후, 조사하였다. $ZnCr_2O_4$-MgO와 $ZnCr_2O_4-TiO_2$를 X-선 분석한 결과 Spinel 결정구조를 형성하였으며, 또한 SEM과 EDX 분석결과 각각 $Li_2CrO_4$와 $Li_3VO_4$의 형성으로 인하여 저항 특성이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. $ZnCr_2O_4-MgO$, $ZnCr_2O_4-TiO_2$에서 MgO의 양이 증가할수록 저항값은 약간 감소하는 반면, $TiO_2$의 양이 증가할수록 저항값이 급격히 증가하는 특성을 나타내었고, 감습 특성에서도 M??보다 TiO2가 더 높게 나타내었다. 습에 따른 복원 특성의 경우 $700^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 ($ZnCr_2O_4:MgO=4:1$)과 ($ZnCr_2O_4:TiO_2=6:1$) 조성의 센서가 가장 양호하였다.

Small amounts of additives such as mol % 0.13 NiO and mol % 0.01 $CaCO_3$were added to Cu-Zn-Mg ferrites. Basic composition of the Cu-Zn-Mg ferrites was $Cu_{Cu}$X/$Fe_{0.054}$ /$Zn_{0.486}$$Mg_{0.407}$ $Fe_{1.946}$ $O_4$(group A) and $Cu_{0.263}$$Fe_{0.027}$ $Zn_{0.503}$ $Mg_{0.262}$ $Fe_{1.973}$ $O_4$(group B). Specimens were sintered at different temperatures (1010, 1030, $1050^{\circ}C$) for 2 hours in air followed by an air cooling. Then, effects of various composition and sintering temperatures on the microstructure and the magnetic properties such as inductions, coercive forces, and initial permeabilities of the Cu-Zn-Mg ferrites were investigated. The average grain size increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The magnetic properties obtained from the aforementioned Cu-Zn-Mg ferrite specimens were 1,724 gauss for the maximum induction, 1.0 oersted for the coercive force, and 802 for the initial permeability. These magnetic properties indicated that the specimens could be utilized as the core of IFT (intermediate frequency transformer) and antenna in the amplitude modulation.

Thin films of Pb(Mg, Zn)1/3Nb2/3O3 were fabricated by spin coating the Pb-Mg-Zn-Nb-O complex alkoxide sols on(111) Pt-coated MgO (100) planes. It was observed that the content of H2O and the rheological characteristics of sol greatly influenced the orientation of perovskite grains after thin-film formation. A strong preferential orientation of (100)-type planes of the perovskite grains was obtained for the sol aged for 15 days with the molar ratio of H2O to total metal alkoxides=2. As small angle X-ray scattering experiment in the Porod region was performed to correlate the observed preferential orientation with the network structure of precursors at various stage of aging. It was shown that the degree of branching of the Pb-Mg-Zn-Nb-O precursor chain had a direct effect on the preferred oreintation, and weakly branched precursor systems led to highly oriented grains after thin-film formation.

High-frequency dielectric and microwave absorbing properties have been investigated in ferroelectric materials (BaTiO$_3$(BT), (1-x)Pb$Mg_{\frac{1}{3}}Nb_{\frac{2}{3}}$)O$_3$-xPbTiO$_3$(PMN-PT), (1-x)Pb$Mg_{\frac{1}{3}}Nb_{\frac{2}{3}}$O$_3$-xPb(Zn_{\frac{1}{3}}Nb_{\frac{2}{3}}$)O$_3$(PMN-PZN) for the aim of thin microwave absorbers in the frequency range of mobile telecommunication. The specimenns are prepared by conventional ceramic processing and complex permittivity has been measured by transmission/reflection method. The ferroelectric materials show high dielectric constant and dielectric loss in the microwave range and their domiant loss mechanism is considered to be domain wall relaxation. The microwave absorbance of BT 0.9PMN-0.1PT, and 0.8PMN-0.2PZN specimen (determined at 2) are found to be 99.5% (at a thickness of 4.5 mm), 50% (2.5 mm), and 30% (2.5 mm), respectively. It is suggested that PMN-PT or PMN-PZN ferroelectrics are good candidate materials for the spacer of λ/4 absorber. The use of ferroelectric materials is effective in reducing the thickness of absorber with their advantage of high dielectric constant.

A series of Ce-doped ZnO (Ce/ZnO) nanostructures were fabricated using the co-precipitation method, then a simply nontoxic hydrothermal approach was proposed for preparation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-Ce/ZnO composites. The synthesized composites were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) techniques and Raman pattern. The as-synthesized rGO-Ce/ZnO composites showed high photodecomposition efficiency in comparison with the rGO-ZnO, Ce/ZnO, pure ZnO under UV, visible-light and sunlight irradiation. The degradation of methylene blue (MB) (10 mg/L, 100ml) by 95.8% within 60 min by using rGO-2 (10 mg) under sunlight irradiation was observed. The repeated use of the rGO-2 was investigated, and the results showed almost no decay in the catalytic activity.
