The ferrimagnetic glass-ceramics in the system Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2 for hyperthermia were investigated. Glasses could be prepared up to the content of 40 wt% of Fe2O3 and below the weight ratio of 1.0 of CaO/SiO2. The maximum saturation magnetization and the maximum coercive force were 29.85 emu/g and 340.1 Oe respectively, for a glass 40Fe2O3.20CaO.40SiO2 composition heat-treated at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours. And for a glass 40Fe2O3.30CaO.30SiO2 composition the maximum saturation magnetization and the maximum coercive force were 18.47 emu/g and 374.4 Oe heat-treated at 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ and 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours respectively. The maximum hysteresis loss was 1,726.3 cal/g for a glass 40Fe2O3.20CaO.40SiO2 composition heat-treated at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours. It was found that the ferrimagnetic Fe2O3.CaO.SiO2 glass-ceramics was little injurious to human body as results of biocompatibility test and biotoxicity test.

The perovskite phase in PZN-PMN-PT (Pb(Zn, Mg)1/3Nb2/3O3-PbTiO3) pseudoternary ceramics was stabilized by the addition of excess constituent divalent oxides (PbO, MgO and ZnO). The excess addition of 5mol% MgO or 7.5mol% PbO fully stabilized the perovskite phase. The enhanced diffuse phase transition (DPT) and the decrease in the electrical resistivity observed in the presence of excess ZnO or MgO were interpreted in terms of the additional formation of negatively charged, short-range ordered 1:1 domains with a concomitant generation of charge carriers, holes.

The major drawback of zirconia-based materials, in view of their applications as targets for minor actinide transmutation, is their poor thermal conductivity. The addition of MgO, which has high thermal conductivity, to zirconia-based materials is expected to improve their thermal conductivity. On these grounds, the present study aims at phase characterization and thermophysical property evaluation of neodymium-substituted zirconia (Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9; using Nd₂O₃ as a surrogate for Am₂O₃) and its composites with MgO. The composite was prepared by a solid-state reaction of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 (synthesized by gel combustion) and commercial MgO powders at 1773 K. Phase characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction and the microstructural investigation was performed using a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 increases upon composite formation with MgO, which is attributed to a higher thermal expansivity of MgO. Similarly, specific heat also increases with the addition of MgO to Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9. Thermal conductivity was calculated from measured thermal diffusivity, temperature-dependent density and specific heat values. Thermal conductivity of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO (50 wt%) composite is more than that of typical UO₂ fuel, supporting the potential of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO composites as target materials for minor actinides transmutation.

Two new triterpenoid saponins, named segetoside D and E, have been isolated from the seeds of Vaccaria segetalis. On the basis of chemical reactions and spectral data, structures of segetoside D and E have been established as: $28-O-[{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)]-[5-O-acetyl-{\alpha}-arabinofuranosyl(1{\rightarrow}3)]-[4-O-acetyl-{\beta}-D-fucopyranosyl]-quillaic\;acid-3-O-[{\beta}-D-galactopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)]6-O-methyl\;ester-{\beta}-D-glucuronopyranoside$ and $28-O-[{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)]-[5-O-acetyl-{\alpha}-arabinofuranosyl(1{\rightarrow}3)]-[4-O-acetyl-{\beta}-D-fucopyranosyl]-quillaic\;acid\;-3-O-[{\beta}-D-galactopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)]-6-O-n-butyl\;ester-{\beta}-D-glucuronopyranoside$, respectively.

Ternary $xSrO-yB_2O_3-0.1Al_2O_3$ and $xSrO-yB_2O_3-0.1SiO_2$ glasses were prepared as a function of R(${\equiv}x/y$). The fraction of four-coordinated brans ($N_4$), symmetric three-coordinated barons ($N_{3S}$), and asymmetric three-coordinated barons ($N_{3A}$) were determined quantitatively to study the structures of these glasses by $^{11}B$ NMR. The values of $Q_{cc}$ and ${\eta}$ for $BO_3$ unit in the glasses were 2.74MHz and 0.22, those for $BO_3{^-}$ unit were 2.54MHz and 0.55, and those for $BO_4$ unit 0.60~0.75MHz and 0.00, respectively. The structure of SrBAl glass at $R_{1st}$ consisted of tetraborate ($[B_8O_{13}]^{-2}$) units and 1st-modified diborate ($[B_2Al_2O_7]^{-2}$) units, and those for the glass at $R_{max}$consisted of diborate ($[B_4O_7]^{-2}$) units, metaborate ($[BO_2^{-1}]$), 1st-modified diborate units, and 2nd-modified diborate ($[B_2Al_2O_8]^{-4}$) units. Due to the oxygens introduced from the strontium oxide. $AlO_4$ units were preferably formed rather than $BO_4$ units. And, the structure of SrBSi glasses in the region $R{\leq}0.5$ could be viewed as binary $SrO-B_2O_3$ glasses structure diluted by silicate oxide: therefore, the Si atoms of the glasses did not contributed to the change the configuration around the boron atoms. The silicate oxide was formed the $SiO_4{^-}$ units rather than the $BO_3{^-}$ units by the oxygens introduced from the storntium oxide in the region of $R{\geq}R_{max}$, and structure of those glass at $R_{max}$ consisted of diborate units, metaborate units loose $BO_4([BO_2]^{-1})$, and $SiO_4{^-}([SiO_{2.5}]^{-1})$ units.

In order to examine the effect of CuO and Al2O3 addition on the electrical conductivity of ZnO, both Al2O3 (0, 1, 2, 5, 10at.%) and CuO (1, 5at.%) were added to ZnO. Al2O3 addition (~2at.% Al) increased the total electrical conductivity of ZnO which was already decreased by CuO doping effect Above solid solubility of Al (~2at.%), ZnAl2O4 formed and the total electrical conductivity decreased due to the decrease of sintered density. Impedance measurements were used to know the reason and degree of contribution of three resistive elements, ZnO grain, ZnO/CuO, and ZnO/ZnO grain boundaries, to the total electrical conductivity changed.

A BaTiO$_3$ was annexed to SrTiO$_3$, (x)BaTiO$_3$-(1-x)SrTiO$_3$ (0.7$\leq$X$\leq$1) ceramics with stable dielectric and electrical properties in high voltage were manufactured. Structural, dielectric and electrical properties were surveyed with the contents of SrTiO$_3$. The open porosity and sintering density were excellent in 0.9BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$, the grain size of 0.9BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$ was maximum at 12.40[${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$]. Increasing SrTiO$_3$ mol ratio, the curie temperature was shifted low temperature and the supreme permittivity was increased. In line with increasing of supplied voltage, permitivity was decreased slightly.

In order to investigate the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of dihydroxyanthraquinones (DHAQ; 1,5-DHAQ and 1,8-DHAQ) in organic-inorganic hybrid matrices, transparent SiO2, SiO2- Al2O3, and Al2O3 matrices chemically bonded with DHAQ were prepared using a sol-gel technique. The absorption maxima of 1,5- and 1,8-DHAQ in SiO2 matrices are observed at around 420 nm, whereas those of DHAQ in both SiO2-Al2O3 and Al2O3 matrices are markedly shifted to longer wavelength compared with those in SiO2 matrix. This indicates that DAHQ forms a chemical bond with an Al atom of Al2O3. The DHAQ in SiO2 matrix shows a markedly Stokes-shifted emission which is originated from the ESIPT in DHAQ. Based on the emission lifetimes of DHAQ, the ESIPT of DHAQ was found to be strongly affected by the chemical interaction with Al atom in the Al2O3-related matrices.

In order to investigate the effect of fluorine ion in the $Li_{1-x}FeO_2Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8) cathode material, it was synthesized $Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8, $0.05{\le}y{\le}0.15$) cathode materials at $350^{\circ}C$ for 10hrs using solid-state method. $Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8, $0.0{\le}y{\le}0.1$ was composed many large needle-like particles of about $1-1.5\;{\mu}m$ and small particles of about 50-100 nm, which were distributed among the larger particles. However, $Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.85}F_{0.15}-Li_xMnO_2$ material showed slightly different particle morphology. The particles of $Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.85}F_{0.15}-Li_xMnO_2$ were suddenly increased and started to be a spherical type of particle shape. $Li/Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.9}F_{0.1}-Li_xMnO_2$ cell showed a high initial discharge capacity of 163 mAh/g and a high cycle retention rate of 95% after 50 cycles. The initial discharge capacity of $Li/Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ ($0.05{\le}y{\le}0.15$) cells increased according to the increase of F content. However, the cycleability of this cell was very rapidly decreased when the substituted fluorine content is over 0.1. We suggested that too large amount of F ion fail to substitute into the $Li_{1-x}FeO_2-Li_xMnO_2$ structure, which resulted in the severe decline of battery performance.

The crystal structure of Ba46-X, Ba46Al92Si100O384 [a= 25.297(1) Å], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Fd&bar{3}at 21(1) ℃. The crystal was prepared by ion exchange in flowing stream of 0.05 M Ba(OH)2 aqueous solution for 5 days. The crystal was then dehydrated at 380 ℃ and 2 × 10-6 Torr for 2 days. The structure was refined to the final error indices R1= 0.051 and Rw= 0.054 with 369 reflections for which I > 3σ(I). In this structure, all Ba2+ ions are located at the three different crystallographic sites: fourteen Ba2+ ions are located at site Ⅰ, the centers of the double six rings, two Ba2+ ions lie at site Ⅰ', in the sodalite cavity opposite double six rings(D6R's) and another thirty Ba2+ ions are located at site Ⅱ in the supercage. Two Ba2+ ions are recessed ca. 0.27 Å into the sodalite cavity from their three O(3) oxygen plane and thirty Ba2+ ions are recessed ca. 1.11 Å into the supercage from their three O(2) oxygen planes, respectively (Ba(1)-O(3) = 2.76(1) Å, O(3)-Ba(1)-O(3) = 180(0)°, Ba(2)-O(3) = 2.45(1) Å, O(3)-Ba(2)-O(3) = 108(1)°, Ba(3)-O(2)=2.65(1) Å, and O(2)-Ba(3)-O(2)=103.9(4)°).
