The effects of MnO2 on the microstructure and dielectric properties of Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3 ceramics prepared by KCl-NaCl molten salt synthesis(MSS) method have been investigated. As the amount of MnO2 increased up to 0.25wt%, the density increased and the grain size decreased, while above 0.25wt%, the density decreased with the grain growth. Dielectric constant increased with increasing the amount of MnO2, and dielectric loss decreased up to 0.25wt% and then increased. This is due to the compensation effect by the substitution of Mn4+ to Fe3+ and the appearance of the second phase.

Oxides of the form Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO present properties that make them useful as power NTC thermistor for current limited. Electrical properties of Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO power NTC thermistor such as I-V characteristics tim constant activation energy and heat dissipation coefficient measured as a function of temperature and composition. In Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO system with the 5wt% addition of Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ it can be seen that resistivity and B-constant were increased as the ratio of ZnO/Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ was increased. Heat dissipation constant, I-V characteristics and time constant showed similar behaviour compared with those of conventional thermistors. In particular resistance change ratio ($\Delta$R) the important factor for reliability varied within $\pm$5% indicating the compositions of these products could be available for power thermistor.

The red emission properties of $Mn^{4+}$ doped $SrAl_{12}O_{19}$ prepared by the solid-state reaction was investigated, in order to verify its potential to act as the red emitting phosphor of white LEDs. The emission spectrum exhibits a narrow band between $600{\sim}700 nm $ with four sharp peaks occurring at about 643, 656, 666, 671 nm due to the $^2E\to^4A_2$ transition of $Mn^{4+}$. The excitation spectrum exhibits a broad band between $200{\sim}500 nm$ with three peaks occurring at about 338, 398 and 468 nm, respectively. Moreover, the relative emission intensity of $SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ with or without $CaF_2$ and MgO fluxes measured at excitation source 390 nm. The relative emission intensity of $SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ containing 0.67mol% MgO was approximately 30% higher than that of the base composition sample. Strontium hexa-aluminate measured at room temperature as a function of the substituted Mg concentration. MgO was added to replace part of the $Al_2O_3$. Also, the relative emission intensity of $SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ containing 0.67 mol% MgO and 0.67 mol% $CaF_2$ was approximately about 48% higher than that of the base composition $SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$.

The spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$was obtained by two consecutive heat treatment on xerogel; the first heat treatment was at $150^{\circ}C$ and the second at $350^{\circ}C$ was obtained by sol-gel process using an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and manganese acetate. The synthesized $LiMn_2O_4$ by the sol-gel process showed a discharge capacity of 88~56 mAh/g after 15 cycles in Li/lM $LiClO_4$(in PC)/$LiMn_2O_4$at a current density of 0.25 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the voltage ranged 3.5 V to 4.3 V. For the second heat treatment above $350^{\circ}C$, $Mn_2O_3$was formed as a by-product during the synthesis of $LiMn_2O_4$. The heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$, for example, showed a lower discharge capacity 81~47 mAh/g, after the 15 charge/discharge cycles. The lower capacity was due to the increment of $Mn^{3+}$ ion and this phenomenon was in agreement with the Jahn-Teller distortion.

Specific structural properties of Li intercalation reaction into the spinel relatedmanganese dioxide, $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}(0.2{\leq}x{\leq}2.0)$, are investigated by X-ray diffractional and electrochemical studies of Li/1M $LiClO_{4}$-propylene carbonate solution/$Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ cell. The effect of the chemical composition and the reaction temperature on electrochemical parameter of $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ are studied by the phenomena of phase-transition, analysis of crystal lattice, fine structure, and thermal analysis. Treatment of the spinel $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ with aqueous acid was found to result in conversiton of $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ to nearly pure $MnO_{2}$, as evidenced by a reduction in the lattice constant $a_{c}$ from 8.255 to $8.031\;{\AA}$. At a composition range of $0.2{\leq}x{\leq}0.6$ in $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ the reduction proceeded in a homogeneous phase, which was characterized by a constant voltage of 3.9~3.7 V together with a lattice constant of $8.255\;{\AA}$.

The objective of this study was to assess the catalytic activities of manganese oxide (MnO, $MnO_2$, $Mn_2O_3$, and $Mn_3O_4$) catalysts for odors (acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde) removal. We used a fixed bed reactor as the experimental apparatus and the catalytic performance were carried out over the temperature range of $200{\sim}470^{\circ}C$. The properties and performance of catalysts were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET). The catalytic activities of manganese oxide catalysts for acetaldehyde combustion were in the order of MnO < $MnO_2$ < $Mn_2O_3$ < $Mn_3O_4$, and it is similar to that of propionaldehyde combustion. We also confirmed that the reactions have well followed the kinetic model of Power-Rate Law and the reaction order (n) is 1 for both of the acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde combustion. In addition, the reaction activation energy of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde combustion over $Mn_3O_4$ were found to be $72.42\;kJmol^{-1}$ for 487~503 K and $51.14\;kJmol^{-1}$ for 473~533 K, respectively.

Pleurotus ostreatus No.42, known as the ligninolytic basidiomycetes, showed production of MnP and Lac, but did not show any LiP acitivity in static culture, grown in GPYW liquid medium. Maximum production of MnP (80U/flask) was observed on day 11 of culturing in this medium. Chromatographic purification of MnP included the use of Sepharose CL-6B and Mono-Q. The major MnP isozyme purified by column chromatography was observed to be a 36.4 KDa (single band on SDS PAGE). The 19-amino acid sequence from the N-terminal was determined by protein sequencing to be ATCADGRTTANAACCVLFP. The N-terminal sequence of the major MnP isozyme of P. ostreatus No.42 was found to be the same as a previously reported sequence of an MnP3 isozyme from this fungus.

This study presents the effect of oxygen on the $NH_3$ selective catalytic reduction (SCR) by Mn/$TiO_2$ catalyst. The lattice oxygen of catalysts is participate in the low temperature SCR, and the gaseous oxygen directly takes part in the rexoidtion of reduced catalyst. These redox properties of oxygen an play important role in SCR activity and the available capability of lattice oxygen depends on the manganese oxidation state of the catalyst surface. $MnO_2$ species has a higher redox property than that of $Mn_2O_3$ species on deposited $TiO_2$ surface and these manganese oxide states strongly depend on the $TiO_2$ surface area.

$NiFe/Co/Al_2O_3/Co/IrMn$ tunneling junctions were grown on (100)Si wafer and their spin-valve tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) was studied. The tunneling junctions were grown by using a 5-gun RF/DC magnetron sputter. $Al_2O_3$ barrier layer was formed by exposing Al layer to oxygen atmosphere at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours. Strong exchange coupling interaction is observed between the ferromagnetic Co and the antiferromagnetic IrMn of Co/IrMn bilayer when IrMn is 100$\AA$ thick. $NiFe(183\;{\AA})/Co(17\;{\AA})/Al_2O_3(16\;{\AA})/Co(100\;{\AA})/IrMn(100\;{\AA})$ tunneling junction shows best TMR ratio of about 10% in the applied magnetic field range of $\pm$20 Oe. The TMR ratio is improved about 23% and electrical resistance is decreased about 34% when annealed at 200 $^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in magnetic field of 330 Oe, parallel to the bottom electrode. With increasing the active area of junction the TMR ratio increases while electrical resistance decreases.
