Semiconducting (Sr0.85Ca0.15)TiO3 ceramics were prepared by conventional powder synthesis techniques, and then alkaline metallic cations were diffused into the ceramic bodies. The threshold voltage of the ceramics increases with increasing diffusion time and the amount of diffused materials. The ceramics had boundary potential heights of 0.01 ~ 2.89 eV, while their boundary resistance ranged from 2.2 $M{\Omega}$ to 120.4 $M{\Omega}$. Such electrical characteristics of the boundaries were correlated with the boundary structure of the ceramics obtained by transmission electron microscopy.

Semiconductive SrTiO3 ceramic bodies were prepared by conventional ceramic powder processes in-cluding sintering in a reducing atmosphere. Sodium or potassium ions were diffused from the surface of the sintered bodies into the inner region using thermal diffusion process at 800-120$0^{\circ}C$. The effects of such ther-mal treatments on the electrical and chemical characteristics of the grain boundaries were investigated. The presence of sodium or potassium ions at grain boundaries produces non-linear current-voltage behaviors, electrical boundary potential barriers of 0.1-0.2eV, and threshold voltages of 10-70V. The diffused ions form diffusion layers with thicknesses of 20-50nm near the grain boundaries, reducing the concentration of strontium and oxygen.

Role of CaO in the sintering of 12Ce-TZP ceramics was studied. The addition of small amounts of CaO increase the densification rate of 12Ce-TZP by altering lattice defect structure and the diffusion coefficient of the rate controlling species, namely cerium and zirconium cations. CaO also inhibits grain growth during sintering and allows the sintering process to proceed to theoretical density by maintaining a high diffusion flux of vacancies from the pores to the grain boundaries. The inhibition of grain growth is accomplished by the segregation of solute at the grain boundaries, causing a decrease in the grain boundary mobility. The segregation of calcium was revealed by AES study.

Diffusion is a powerful tool to understand geological processes recorded in terrestrial rocks as well as extraterrestrial materials. Since the diffusive exchange of elements or isotopes may have occurred differently in the solar nebula (high temperature and rapid cooling) and on the parent bodies (fluid-assisted thermal metamorphism at relatively low temperature), it is particularly important to model elemental or isotopic diffusion profiles within the mineral grains to better understand the evolution of the early solar system. A numerical model with the finite difference method for the fast grain boundary diffusion was established for the exchange of elements or isotopes between constituent minerals in a closed system. The fast grain boundary diffusion numerical model was applied to 1) ²⁶Mg variation in plagioclase of an amoeboid olivine aggregate (AOA) from a CH chondrite and 2) Fe-Mg interdiffusion between chondrules, AOA, and matrix minerals in a CO chondrite. Equilibrium isotopic fractionation and equilibrium partitioning were also included in the numerical model, based on the assumption that equilibrium can be reached at the interfaces of mineral crystals. The numerical model showed that diffusion profiles observed in chondrite samples likely resulted from the diffusive exchange of elements or isotopes between the constituent minerals. This study also showed that the closure temperature is determined not only by the mineral with the slowest diffusivity in the system, but also strongly depends on the constituent mineral abundances.

The crack growth under creep condition is one of the major damage mechanisms which determines remaining life of the component operating at high temperatures. In this paper, the creep crack growth by grain boundary cavitation is studied, which is frequently observed failure mechanism for creep brittle materials. As a result of diffusive growth of creep cavities, it is shown that the crack-tip stress field is modified from the original stress distribution by the amount of singularity attenuation parameter which is function of crack growth rate and material properties. Also, the stress relaxation at crack-tip results in the extension of cavitating area by the load dump effect to meet the macroscopic force equilibrium conditdion.

원자력용 316LN 스테인레스강의 입계탄화물 석출거동에 미치는 질소 및 Ti, B의 미량원소 영향을 시차열분석기(DSC)와 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 이들 결과와 예민화 특성과의 관계성을 분석하였다. Ti과 B의 첨가는 316LN 강의 탄화물 석출온도를 높이며, 탄화물 석출에 필요한 활성화에너지 값은 미첨가강에 비해 높았다. TEM/EDX 분석결과, 예민화된 316 LN 강은 M$_{23}$C$_{6}$ 탄화물이 입계에 석출되며 입계에서 Cr 고같층이 관찰되었다. 반면 Ti 및 B 첨가강은 7$50^{\circ}C$, 20시간 열처리 조건에서도 거의 입계석출물이 존재하지 않았으며 일부 소량 존재하는 입계 석출물은 EDX 분석결과 Mo-rich 상인 Laves 상으로 분석되었다. DSC와 TEM 분석 결과는 Oxalic 시험 및 Modified Strauss 시험에 의한 입계 부시시험결과와 잘 일치하였고, Ti 및 B의 첨가는 Cr의 확산을 저지시켜 입계탄화물의 석출 및 성장을 저지하는 역할을 하며, 316LN 강의 예민화 특성을 양호하게 하였다.

최근의 정보 통신 기기들은 정보 통신 서비스에 대한 요구에 따라 다기능, 고속 및 대용량화로 비약적인 발전을 하고 있으며 휴대 통신 단말기의 경우 이용자의 편리를 위하여 소형화 및 경박 단소화를 지향하고 있다. 따라서 부품에 대한 요구 사항도 이들 추세에 따라 소형화, 다기능화 및 고신뢰화를 요구하고 있다. 따라서, 하나의 소자로 복합적인 기능을 갖는 다기능성 소자의 개발이 바람직하다. $SrTiO_3$를 모체로 하는 세라믹 유전체는 반도체화 세라믹의 결정입계에 산화물로 절연층을 형성하여 하나의 소자로 Capacitor 와 Varistor 기능을 동시에 갖는 다기능 소자용 소재로 이용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 $SrTiO_3$조성비 및 입계절연화제의 확산 온도에 따라 이들이 전기전도 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다.
