In this paper, YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ superconductor was sintered by means of conventional solid reaction and the textured YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ was prepared by the Melted-Condensed Process in which SmBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ crystal was used as seed crystal to introduce the YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ crystal growth. The texture of YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ was examined by X-ray diffraction, and the fracture of YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ sample was observed by SEM, which proved the sample was well oriented. After oxygen absorption of the textured YbBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ sample, it's critical temperature was measureed to be 86K.eed to be 86K.

Thermal stabilizing effect of $Yb^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$ codoping into $TiO_2$ powder prepared by sol-gel method and its upconversion characteristics were analyzed. The effect of $TiO_2:Yb^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$ ions on crystallinity and phase transition was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The change of band-gap energy induced from Yb and Er codoping was analyzed by UV-Vis. The band-gap energy of $TiO_2$ have been slightly narrowed by $Yb^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$ codoping, which indicated that the $Yb^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$ ions can enhance the photo-catalytic property of $TiO_2$. green and red up-conversions of $Yb^{3+}$ and $Er^{3+}$ co-doped $Y_2O_3:Yb^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$ phosphor were analyzed by PL equipped with 980 nm laser.

Electrical properties of $ZrO_2-TiO_2Yb_2O_3$mixed conductor (Ti-YbSZ) were investigated. This mixed conductor can be applied as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures. The total conductivity decreased with increasing the $TiO_2$concentration. At high temperatures, the rate of the conductivity degradation became smaller than that at low temperatures. From the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the total conductivity of Ti-YbSZ, the electronic conductivity increased with increasing $TiO_2$concentration at low oxygen partial pressures and at high temperatures. Both 15 and 20 mol% $TiO_2$doped YbSZ showed high oxygen permeability. Mixed conductors, which has high $TiO_2$concentration in YbSZ, are promising materials for using as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures.

Submicron-sized $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ upconversion phosphor particles were synthesized by spray pyrolysis, and their luminescent properties were characterized by changing the concentration of $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$. $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ showed an intense green and red emission due to the $^4S_{3/2}$ or $^2H_{11/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{15/2}$ and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{15/2}$ transition of $Er^{3+}$ ions, respectively. In terms of the emission intensity, the optimal concentrations of Er and Yb were 1.0 % and 2.0%, respectively, and the concentration quenching was found to occur via the dipole-dipole interaction. Upconversion mechanism was discussed by using the dependency of emission intensities on pumping powers and considering the dominant depletion processes of intermediate energy levels for the red and green emission with changing the $Er^{3+}$ concentration. An energy transfer from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Er^{3+}$ in $CeO_2$ host was mainly involved in ground-state absorption (GSA), and non-radiative relaxation from $^4I_{11/2}$ to $^4I_{13/2}$ of $Er^{3+}$ was accelerated by the $Yb^{3+}$ co-doping. As a result, the $Yb^{3+}$ co-doping led to greatly enhance the upconversion intensity with increasing ratios of the red to green emission. Finally, it is revealed that the upconversion emission is achieved by two photon processes in which the linear decay dominates the depletion of intermediate energy levels for green and red emissions for $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ phosphor.

[ $Yb_2O_3$ ] films were successfully deposited on a cube-textured Ni and(100) $SrTiO_3$(STO) single crystal substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) method using $H_2O$ vapor as an oxidant. $H_2O$ vapor was used in order to avoid the oxidation of Ni substrate. The working pressure and Ar flow rate were 10 Ton and 600 sccm, respectively. $Yb_2O_3$ films on STO were formed at high temperatures above $900^{\circ}C$. While XRD peaks from $Yb_2O_3$ were hardly detected at $900^{\circ}C$, the $Yb_2O_3$(400) texture was developed fur the films grown at deposition temperatures above $950^{\circ}C$. The AEM surface roughness of $Yb_2O_3$ film, grown on STO, was in the range of $6{\sim}10nm$ for the film deposited at $950^{\circ}C$ with a $H_2O$ vapor partial pressure of 5.5 Ton and deposition times of 3 and 5 mins. For cube-textured Ni substrate, both $Yb_2O_3$(222) and $Yb_2O_3$ (400) textures were developed textures at deposition temperatures above $850^{\circ}C$.

This study describes the doping effect of $Yb_2O_3$ on microstructure, electrical and dielectric properties of $ZnO-V_2O_5-MnO_2-Nb_2O_5$ (ZVMN) ceramic semiconductors sintered at a temperature as low as $900^{\circ}C$. As the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ increases, the ceramic density slightly increases from 5.50 to $5.54g/cm^3$; also, the average ZnO grain size is in the range of $5.3-5.6{\mu}m$. The switching voltage increases from 4,874 to 5,494 V/cm when the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ is less than 0.1 mol%, whereas further doping decreases this value. The ZVMN ceramic semiconductors doped with 0.1 mol% $Yb_2O_3$ reveal an excellent nonohmic coefficient as high as 70. The donor density of ZnO gain increases in the range of $2.46-7.41{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ with increasing doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ and the potential barrier height and surface state density at the grain boundaries exhibits a maximum value (1.25 eV) at 0.1 mol%. The dielectric constant (at 1 kHz) decreases from 592.7 to 501.4 until the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$ reaches 0.1 mol%, whereas further doping increases it. The value of $tan{\delta}$ increases from 0.209 to 0.268 with the doping content of $Yb_2O_3$.

$La_{2-x}(MoO_4)_3:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles with doping concentrations of $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ($x=Er^{3+}+Yb^{3+}$, $Er^{3+}$=0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and $Yb^{3+}$ = 0.2, 0.45) were successfully prepared by the microwave-modified sol-gel method, and the upconversion photoluminescence properties were investigated. Well-crystallized particles, formed after heat-treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 16 h, showed a fine and homogeneous morphology with particle sizes of $2-5{\mu}m$. Under excitation at 980 nm, $La_{1.7}(MoO_4)_3:Er_{0.1}Yb_{0.2}$ and $La_{1.5}(MoO_4)_3:Er_{0.05}Yb_{0.45}$ particles exhibited a strong 525 nm emission band, a weak 550 nm emission band in the green region, and a very weak 655 nm emission band in the red region. The Raman spectra of the doped particles indicated the presence of strong peaks at higher frequencies of 752, 846, 922, 1358 and $1435cm^{-1}$ and lower frequency of $314cm^{-1}$ induced by the disorder of the $[MoO_4]^{2-}$ groups with the incorporation of the $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ elements into the crystal lattice or by a new phase formation.
