Glasses were prepared with compositions of $(13-x)BaO-80B2_O_3-7Li_2O{\cdot}xSm_2O_3$, BBLSx(x=0.5, 0.4, 0.3) by melting the starting materials of boron oxide(99.9%), lithium oxide(99.9%), barium carbon oxide(99.9%), and samarium oxide(99.9%) and then quenching the melt at $1350^{\circ}C$. This led to good-quality BBLSx(x=0.4, 0.3) and poor-quality BBLSx(x=0.5) glasses. The physical and structural properties of the BBLSx glasses were studied by means x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), and dielectric spectroscopy. From the x-ray diffraction and SEM results, the quality of the BBLSx glasses significantly depends on the $Sm_2O_3$ concentration. The x-ray diffraction pattern showed that the crystallites in the BBLSx glasses after heat treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ may be $LiBaB_9O_{15}$. From the DSC results, the glass transition temperatures($T_g$), crystallization temperatures($T_c$), and the maximum temperatures of the crystallized($T_p$) BBLSx glasses all changed with the $Sm_2O_3$ concentration. According to the dielectric spectroscopy results, the values of the real dielectric constant and Tan ${\delta}$ of the BBLSx glasses depended on the $Sm_2O_3$ concentration. The values of the real dielectric constant and Tan ${\delta}$ were also shown to depend on the measuring temperature, possibly due to the ion migration in the bulk of the BBLSx glasses.

In this study, the phase and electrochemical properties of Co and Ti substituted layered perovskites SmBaCo_2-xTi_xO_5+d (x=0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.5) were analyzed, and their application as electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were evaluated. After calcination at 1300℃ for 6 h, a single phase was observed for two compositions of the SmBaCo_2-xTi_xO_5+d oxide system, SmBaCoTiO_5+d (x=1.0) and SmBaCo_0.9Ti_1.1O_5+d (x=1.1). However, the phases of SmBaCoTiO_5+d (SBCTO) and SmTiO₃ coexisted for compositions with x≥1.3 (Ti content). In contrast, for compositions of x≤0.7, the SmBaCo₂O_5+d phase was observed instead of the SmTiO₃ phase. To evaluate the applicability of these materials as SOFC electrodes, the electrical conductivities were measured under various atmospheres (air, N₂, and H₂). SBCTO exhibited stable semi-conductor electrical conductivity behavior in an air and N₂ atmosphere. However, SBCTO showed insulator behavior at temperatures above 600℃ in a H₂ atmosphere. Therefore, SBCTO may only be used as cathode materials. Moreover, SBCTO had an area specific resistance (ASR) value of 0.140 Ω·cm² at 750℃.

We have studied the superconducting properties and flux pinning enhancement of $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})_{1.8}Ba_{2.4}Cu_{3.4}O_y$ [(YNS)-1.8] composite oxides by melt growth process in air. A sample prepared by this method showed well-textured microstructure, and $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})_2BaCuO_5$ [(YNS)211] nonsuperconducting particles were uniformly dispersed in large (YNS)123 superconducting matrix. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition at 91 K. The magnetization measurements of the (YSN)-1.8 sample exhibited the enhanced flux pinning, compared with $YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Y-123) sample without Sm and Nd.

최근 이동통신 및 위성통신 등 마이크로웨이브를 이용하는 통신분야의 시장이 급속히 신장됨에 따라 RF(Radio Frequency) 부품의 산업적 중요성이 부각되고 있다. RF 부품은 크게 능동부품과 필터로 대표되는 수동부품으로 대별되는데, duplexer나 필터는 현재 대부분 마이크로웨이브 세라믹유전체를 사용 제조하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이들 부품들에 사용가능한 세라믹유전체를 개발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 BaO-$Sm_2$$O_3$-$TiO_2$계 세라믹의 마이크로웨이브 유전특성과 여기에$La_2\$$O_3$를 첨가한 계인 BaO-($Sm_1$$-_X$$La_X$$)_2$$O_3$-$TiO_2$ 세라믹유전체를 제조하여 마이크로웨이브 유전특성을 살펴보았다. RF 부품에 사용되는 세라믹유전체는 높은 유전율$\varepsilon_r$높은 품질계수 (Q) 및 안정된 온도특성 $\tau_f$ 등의 조건을 충족시켜야한다. 본 연구에서는 유전체의 $\varepsilon_r$ 및 Q의 측정에 디스크형 유전체공진기와 두개의 도체평행판을 사용한 Hakki-Coleman법을 사용하였으며, $\tau_f$는 fixture를 항온조에 넣어서 측정하였다. BaO-$Sm_2O_3-TiO_2$계의 경우 소결온도 $1350^{\circ}C$까지는 $\varepsilon_r$및 Q가 증가하나 그 이상의 소결온도에서는 감소한다. 그리고 $\tau_f$는 $-35_{ppm}/^{\circ}C$에서 소결온도에는 거의 의존하지 않았다. $La_2O_3$를 첨가한BaO-($Sm_1$$-_X$$La_X$$)_2$$O_3$-$TiO_2$ 세라믹의 마이크로웨이브 유전특성은 $La_2O_3$의 첨가량이 많을수록 $\tau_f$값이 음에서 양으로 이동함이 관찰되었으며, x=0.15에서 $\tau_f$가 0이 되어 마이크로웨이브 부품용 마이크로웨이브 세라믹유전체를 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었다.

The variations of the structural detail of layered perovskite-type oxides, Na2Ln2Ti3O10 (Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Gd), have been refined by Rietveld analyses of their powder X-ray diffraction data. Although the c-axis strongly decreases from Ln=La to Nd, Sm, or Gd, the length of Na-O bond along the c-axis that is regarded as the sodium layer spacing is not dependent on the unit cell parameter. Such a behavior is explained by the fact that Na-O bond is in competition with Ti-O one of the perovskite slab. Increased covalency of this Ti-O bond by the lattice contraction leads to weakening of the attaching strength of Na ion. This picture is consistent with the experimental observation that Na ion conductivity of Na2Ln2Ti3O10 increases from Ln=La to Nd, Sm, or Gd despite strong contraction of the unit cell volume.

Performance of single cell at solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system is largely affected by electrocatalytic and thermal properties of cathode. Samarium-based perovskite oxide material is recently recognized as promising cathode material for intermediate temperature-operating SOFC due to its high electrocatalytic property. Perovskite structured $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$ and its composite material, $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}/Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ were investigated in terms of area specific resistance (ASR), thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), thermal cycling and long term performance. $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ was used as electrolyte material. Electrochemical ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and dilatometer were used to measure the cathodic properties. Composite cathode ($Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$: $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ = 6:4) showed a good ASR of 0.13${\Omega}$ $cm^2$ at 650$^{\circ}C$ and its TEC value was 12.3${\times}$10-6/K at 600$^{\circ}C$ which is similar to the value of ceria-based electrolyte of 11.9${\times}$10-6/K. Performance of composite cathode was maintained with no degradation even after 13 times thermal cycle test.

The varistor properties of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-CoO-based ceramics doped with Sm$_2$O$_3$were investigated in the addition range of 0.0~2.0 mol% Sm$_2$O$_3$at sintering temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$. As Sm$_2$O$_3$ content is increased, the breakdown voltage was increased in the range of 348.9~521.8 V/mm for ceramics sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 8.5~381.3 V/mm for ceramics sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$. On the whole, the increase of sintering temperature led to the low nonlinearity regardless of Sm$_2$O$_3$content. ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-CoO-based ceramics doped with 1.0 mol% at each sintering temperature exhibited the most superior varistor properties, with the nonlinear exponent of 42.1 at 130$0^{\circ}C$, 36.8 at 135$0^{\circ}C$ and the leakage current of 9.2 $\mu$A at 130$0^{\circ}C$, 11.7 $\mu$A at 135$0^{\circ}C$.EX>.EX>.

The microwave dielectric properties of (Na.$_{1}$2//Sm$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$and (Li$_{1}$2//Nd$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$ceramics were investigated. Dielectric constant quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of (Li$_{1}$2//Nd$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$ceramics sintered at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were 86.2, 2780(at 3.8GHz) and 215ppm/$^{\circ}C$respectively. The solid solution of X(Na.$_{1}$2//Sm$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$-(1-X)(Li$_{1}$2//Nd$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$increased delectric constant and quality factor were decreased. Whereas temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was optimized to zero at the composition of 0.6(Li$_{1}$2//Sm$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$-0.4(Li$_{1}$2//Nd$_{1}$2/)TiO$_3$where dielectric constant and quality factor were 86.2, 95-(at 3.8GHz) respectively. Also band-pass filters made of this material were examined.

In this report the thermochemical conversion of Sm₂O₃ to SmCl₃ using AlCl₃ in LiCl-KCl melt at 773 K is discussed. The final product was a mixture of SmCl₃, Al₂O₃, unreacted Sm₂O₃ and AlCl₃ in the chloride melt. The electrochemical attributes of the mixture was analyzed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The crystallographic phases of the mixture were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The major chemical conversion was optimized by varying the effective parameters, such as concentrations of AlCl₃, duration of reaction and the amount of LiCl-KCl salt. The extent of conversion and qualitative assessment of efficiency of the present protocol were evaluated with fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) studies of the mixture. Thus, a critical assessment of the thermochemical conversion efficiency was accomplished by analysing the amount of SmCl₃ in LiCl-KCl melt. In the process, a conversion efficiency of 95% was achieved by doubling the stoichiometric requirement of AlCl₃ in 50 g of LiCl-KCl salt. The conversion reaction was found to be very fast as the reaction reached equilibrium in 15 min.
