A new Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy has designed and examined some possibility of forming more passive oxide film by oxidation treatment which is closely related to corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloys were prepared by consumable vacuum arc melting and homogenized at 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 24hours. Alloy specimens were oxidized at the temperature range of 400 to 750$^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes, and the oxide films on Ti alloys were analysed by optical microscope, SEM, XPS and TGA. Cytotoxicity test was performed in MTT assay treated L929 fibroblast cell culture by indirect method. It is found out that the oxide film on Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy is denser and thinner compared to Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The weight gain during the oxidation was increased rapidly at the temperature above 650$^{\circ}C$ for Ti-6Al-4V alloy and above 700$^{\circ}C$ for Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy respectively. It was analysed that the passive film of the Ti alloys consisted of TiO2 through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. It is found out by cytotoxicity test that moderate oxidation treatment lowers cell toxicity, and Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy showed better result compared to Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

A new photoelectrode composed of $Sb_6O_{13}$ nanoparticles with the size of 20-30 nm has been prepared via thermolysis of a colloidal antimony pentoxide tetrahydrate ($Sb_2O_5{\cdot}4H_2O$) suspension. The $Sb_6O_{13}$ electrode showed good semiconducting properties applicable to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs); the energy band gap was estimated to be $3.05{\pm}0.5$ eV and the position of conduction band edge was close to those of $TiO_2$ and ZnO. The DSSC assembled with the $Sb_6O_{13}$ photoelectrode and a conventional ruthenium-dye (N719) exhibited the overall photo-current conversion efficiency of 0.74% ($V_{oc}$ = 0.76 V, $J_{sc}=1.99\;mAcm{-2}$, fill factor = 0.49) under AM 1.5, $100\;mWcm^{-2}$ illumination.

Spintronics is a rapidly expanding research area because of recent developments in the physics of spin-dependent phenomena. For use as spintronic materials, dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are of considerable interest as spin injectors for spintronic devices.$^{[1]}$ Many researchers have studied DMS, in which transition metal atoms are introduced into the lattice, thus inserting local magnetic moments into the lattice.

The $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.6}Ta_2O_9$(SBT) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode($Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$) using a RF magnetron sputtering method. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitors with annealing time were studied. In the SEM images, Bi-layered perovskite phase was crystallized at 10min and grains largely grew with annealing tune. SBT thin films are transformed from initial amorphous phase to the fully formed layer-structured perovskite. During the annealing process at $750^{\circ}C$, we found that an fluorite-like stage is formed after 3min. In the XRD pattern, the SBT thin films after 3min annealing time had (105) orientation. The ferroelectric properties of SBT capacitor with annealing time represent a favorable properties at 60 min. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive electric field with 60 min are $12.40C/cm^2$ and 30kV/cm, respectively. The leakage current density with 60min is $6.81{\times}10^{-10}A/cm^2$.

p-type(100) 실리콘 기판과 TiN(50nm)/Si 기판에 dimethylethylamine alane(DMEAA)을 반응소스로 하여 알루미늄을 증착시켜 증착온도와 유량, 반송가스 종류에 따른 방향성, 증착속도, 미세구조 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 알루미늄의 증착속도는 기판온도, 반송가스 종류 및 유량에 따라 100-650mn/min으로 다양하게 조절되었다. DMEAA의 증착 활성화에너지는 TiN 기판에서는 약 0.leV이었고 Si와 SiO2 기판에서는 각각 약 0.23eV, 0.24eV이었다. 알루미늄 박막의 방향성은 증착속도의 감소에 따라 (200)에서 (111)방향으로 변하였다. 증착된 알루미늄 박막의 불순물 함량은 산소의 경우 0.2at%, 탄소의 경우 1.8at.%이었다. DMEAA 소스에 의한 알루미늄의 증착속도는 반송가스가 Ar 일 때 보다 H2 가스를 사용하면 증착속도가 크게 증가하였으며 이는 반송가스에 의해 SiO2표면의 흡착 H 농도가 증가하고 흡착 H가 소스 가스와 반응하여 핵생성 site 로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다. 알루미늄 박막의 비저항은 표면 미세조직에 크게 영향을 받으며 그 값은 약 3-7$\mu$$\Omega$cm이었다.

For low-emissivity application on window glass, coalescence of thin film silver islands is crucial for high transmittance in the visible and high reflectance in the infrared. It is well known that the underlayer affects the growth mode. In this work, the effect of the underlayer on the growth of silver films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc is discussed. While a nominal 0.1 nm niobium underlayer has promoted the coalescence of silver islands, a 0.2 nm layer did not show these features. From a thermodynamic approach, Nb seeding less one monolayer is considered to reduce the surface energy between the silver atoms and $Nb/TiO_2$ surface, resulting the change of its growth from 3D islands to 2D-layer modes. If the seed layer exceeds one monolayer, however, a rougher surface is formed because the surface energy of Nb itself is superior to that of $Nb-TiO_2$. The onset of silver layer on the roughened Nb surface is required more silver.

The ferroelectric SBT films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates by liquid injection metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with single-mixture solution of Sr[Ta(OEt)$_5$(dmae)]$_2$and Bi(C$_6$ 6/H$_5$)$_3$. The Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio in SBT films depended on deposition temperature and mol ratio of precursor in the single-mixture solution. At the substrate temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$, Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio were close to 0.4 and 1 at precursor mol ratio of 0.5~1.0, respectively. As-deposited film was amorphous. However, after annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in oxygen atmosphere, the diffraction patterns indicated polycrystalline SBT phase. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of SBT film annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ were 4.7$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 115.7kV/cm at an applied voltage of 5V, respectively. The SBT films annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed practically no polarization fatigue up to 10$^10$ switching cycles.
