We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

Hexacelsian ($BaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) powder was prepared by a solution-polymerization route employing PVA solution as a polymeric carrier. A fine amorphous-type hexacelsian powder with an average particle size of 0.8 $\mu \textrm{m}$ and a BET specific surface area of $63 \textrm{m}^2$/g was made by a ball-milling the powder precursor for 12 h after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$ for :1 h. A densified hexacelsian was obtained through sintering at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under an air atmosphere. The $\alpha\longleftrightarrow\beta$ and $\beta\longleftrightarrow\gamma$ displacive phase transformation in polycrystalline hexacelsia,n was examined by using dilatometry and differential scanning calorimtry. The reconstructive transformation between hexacelsian and celsian was obtained by annealing at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 72h. Volume contraction of 5.6% was accompanied by the reconstructive transformation.

Phase currents should be measured in real time for vector control of a 2-phase induction motor. Generally, the phase currents of the motor are measured using two Hall current sensors installed at the output terminal of an inverter. Unfortunately, Hall current sensors are expensive and uneconomical because a vector-controlled inverter for 2-phase induction motor is mainly used in low-power and low-price applications. This paper proposes a low-cost current measurement method using two shunt resistors instead of expensive Hall current sensors. The proposed method can measure the phase currents under all operating conditions of the motor. This method was applied to an experimental vector-controlled inverter for 2-phase induction motor of 220[V]/360[W] and was verified through computer simulations and experimentation.

As one of the countermeasures to improve the recovery characteristics of the SFCL (superconducting fault current limiter), the method using the trigger of high-TC superconducting element (HTSC) when the quench in the HTSC element occurred was proposed. To confirm the suggested method, the control circuit to detect the quench occurrence of HTSC element in case of the fault occurrence was designed and the current limiting and recovery experiments of the SFCL using the designed control circuit were performed. Through the analysis for the experimental results, the points of both the open time and the closing time of a power switch comprising the control circuit could be adjusted by the resistance amplitude of a normal conducting current limiting resistor (CLR) and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL together with the current limiting operation could be confirmed to be improved by using the control circuit.

It was known that the C-IC transition in the mixed crystal $(A_{1-x}A^'_x)_2ZnCl_4$ is smeared out with increasing x, which is attributed to the pinning effect of the doped A' ions. In this study, we introduce a new mixed crystal system $K_2Zn_{1-X}Co_XCl_4$, where doped Co ions do not destroy the orientation of the polarization in C phase and preserve the long range ordering of IC phase. We grew a series of mixed crystals $K_2Zn_{1-X}Co_XCl_4$ for x=0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1 by the Czochralski method and investigated the real composition of the mixed crystals, structure and the change of the C-IC phase transition with increasing x by the thermal analysis.

Phase stability and isothermal phase transformation during gaging at 25$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated in yttria stabilized zirconia powders prepared from hydrolysis of zirconium isopropoxide. The stability of tetragonal phase at room temperature in zirconia powder was decreased with calcination temperature but increased with the addition of yttria content. During aging at 25$0^{\circ}C$ in humid atmosphere isothermal phase transformation occurred in tetragonal zirconia powder stabilized by constraint effect not by alloying effect and grain size effect. Many twins and microcrackings were found in transformed monomlinic zirconia particles.

Silanized-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Si-HPMC)/phase transformed calcium phosphate (PTCP) composites are prepared to purpose application of injectable bone cements with enhanced biocompatibility. The crystal structure and chemical state of the synthesized PTCP and Si-HPMC as solid and liquid phase of the composite cements were measured by XRD and FT-IR. The handling and mechanical properties of cements were measured by injectability tests and three-point bending tests. The in-vitro mechanical properties, XRD, and SEM results of bone cements were showed that enhanced hardening behavior was an inherent function of bone cements after in-vitro test. The cytotoxicity result of bone cements also was showed enhanced biocompatibility. Therefore, these injectable cements had potential be used as calcium phosphate cements for biomedical applications.

In this study, to reduce the hydration heat velocity (HHV) of high-strength mass concrete at early ages, phase change materials (PCM) that could absorb hydration heat were applied, and the changes in autogenous shrinkage were investigated, as well as the relationship between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage. The acceleration of the cement hydration process by the PCM leads to an early setting and a higher development of the compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete at very early ages. The function of PCM could be worked below the original melting point due to the eutectic effect, while the hydration temperature and HHV of high-strength mass concrete can be decreased through the use of the PCM. A close relationship was found between the hydration temperature and autogenous shrinkage: the higher the HHV, the greater the ultimate autogenous shrinkage.

An investigation was made of the dependences of the lattice constants and the energy gap on the composition of $TlGa_xIn_{1-x}Se_2$ single cystals grown by Bridgman method. It was found that a discontinuity in $TlGa_xIn_{1-x}Se_2$ solid solutions occurred in the composition range 0.25$0.0{\leq}X{\leq}0.25$) to the monoclinic structure ($0.65{\leq}X{\leq}1.0$) was observed in this composition range. The temperature dependences of the energy gap and the dielectric constant in $TlGaSe_2$ single crystal have shown that the anomalies appeared at 107 K and 120 K corresponding to first-order and second-order phase transitions, respectively.

We have demonstrated the resonant resistance pattern changes of the polymer film in the quartz crystal analysis by the function of the molecular polarity phase transition phenomena. PVA and PMMA/PVAc blend films were used as hydrophilic and/or hydrophbic film, respectively. In the comparison between the hydrophilic shows the pattern changes near by the phase transition temperature. For more detailed explanation, the static capacity in the oscillation parameter was measured and the morphology of Au quartz crystal electrode was studied by AFM. It is suggested that the different resonant resistance pattern change is reliable in the condition of different polarity, and the conclusion is important to analysis of the real mechanism a normal quartz crystal experiments.
