We fabricated thick film monopole antennas using Li-doped BiNbO$_4$ ceramics and investigated their electrical properties as a function of the Li-doping concentration. Compared with undoped BiNbO$_4$ ceramics, addition of Li$_2$CO$_3$ improved dielectric constant by increasing of ionic polarization, but reduced quality value by increasing of lattice distortion. Antenna properties like gain, bandwidth and radiation patterns were also greatly affected by the addition of Li$_2$CO$_3$. With increasing amount of Li$_2$CO$_3$, the bandwidth of ceramic monopole antenna was increased to 81.7 %, but the gain was reduced to -10.03 dBi. Also radiation patterns were so distorted and showed low dB value by increasing of dielectric loss.

This study developed a pigment by doping Cr to Pyrochlore-type stannate crystals and investigated the chromogenic relationship in a glaze. Crystal phases of the pigment according to firing temperatures were analyzed by XRD, and the doping relationship was analyzed by Raman Spectroscopy. Color and reflection rate of the pigment were measured by UV-vis Spectrophotometer. Consequently, stannate characteristic band appeared at 307, 408, 505 and $755cm^{-1}$ until 0.1 mole substitution of $Cr_2O_3$. However, as amount of $Cr_2O_3$ increased, the stannate characteristic peak was decreased and shift happened at the left hand side due to Cr-dope. In composition of 0.12~0.14 mole substituted, the unreacted $Cr_2O_3$ stannate characteristic peak, which was not engaged, was shown. This result shows the maximum limit of solid solution was 0.1 mole $Cr_2O_3$. The color of the glaze, which was produced by adding 6 wt% of $Y_2Sn_{1.94}Cr_{0.06}O_7$ pigment in a lime or a lime-magnesia glaze and fired the mixture at $1260^{\circ}C$, was grayish pink with $L^*$ 70.29, $a^*$ 5.68 and $b^*$ 6.27. It showed gray with $L^*$ 68.82, $a^*$ 3.07and $b^*$ 8.13 for $Y_2Sn_{1.9}Cr_{0.1}O_7$.

Reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition technology has been used to study SiGe heterostructure epitaxy and device issues, including SiGe relaxed buffers, proper control of Ge component and crystalline defects, two dimensional delta doping, and their influence on electrical properties of devices. From experiments, 2D profiles of B and P presented FWHM of 5 nm and 20 nm, respectively, and doses in 5×10/sup 11/ ∼ 3×10/sup 14/ ㎝/sup -2/ range. The results could be employed to fabricate SiGe/Si heterostructure field effect transistors with both Schottky contact and MOS structure for gate electrodes. I-V characteristics of 2D P-doped HFETs revealed normal behavior except the detrimental effect of crystalline defects created at SiGe/Si interfaces due to stress relaxation. On the contrary, sharp B-doping technology resulted in significant improvement in DC performance by 20-30 ％ in transconductance and short channel effect of SiGe HMOS. High peak concentration and mobility in 2D-doped SiGe heterostructures accompanied by remarkable improvements of electrical property illustrate feasible use for nano-sale FETs and integrated circuits for radio frequency wireless communication in particular.

Turquoise blue pigment of Vanadium-zircon blue (DCMA number 14-42-2), which was already commercialized, was stable to be reproduced but insufficient to give strong blue. However, it possible to obtain more intense blue by partially substituting cobalt ions into the willemite($Zn_2SiO_4$) lattice classified into DCMA number 7-10-2 for blue ceramic pigment. By the composition of willemite $Co_xZn_{2-x}SiO_4$(X=0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09 mole), this study used reagent grade zinc oxide, cobalt oxide and silicon dioxide as starting materials, carrying out the synthesis with solid reaction method by adding $H_3BO_3$ as a mineralizer. The firing temperature was between $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of synthesized pigment were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and SEM and the characteristics of color tones were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ measurement. As a result, the optimal composition was $Zn_{1.95}Co_{0.05}$ with 1wt% of $H_3BO_3$ as a mineralizer and firing condition was $1350^{\circ}C$/3 h. $L^*a^*b^*$ value was 29.25, 41.03, -59.93 for on glaze pigment and 37.03, 36.41, -60.03 for under glaze pigment.

We investigated characteristics of Fe-doped semi-insulating InP by means of photoreflectance(PR) measurement. The band gap energy($E_0$) and broadening parameter($\Gamma$) from PR signals at 300K are 1.336 eV and 11.2 meV, respectively. As the temperature is decreased from 300 to 80 K, PR signals are varied from an overlapped shape of exciton and 2-dimensional band gap transitions(300 K) to that of exciton transition(80 K). We calculated Varshni coefficient($\alpha=0.94\pm$0.07 meV/K, $\beta=587\pm$35.2 K) and Bose-Einstein coefficient ($a_B=33.6{\pm}2.02meV$ , $\theta=165\pm$33K). After annealing of isothermal and isochronism crystallinity of InP is found to be excellent when annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 10~20 min, qualitatively.

The transient response in PDFA(Praseodymium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) is theoretically investigated. The PDFA has the spectral gain band in 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The transient model includes the transient buildup of the population inversion, the pump power, and the signal power and their transient variation along the fiber amplifier. The numerical analysis of transient model can predict the gain saturation, the variation of pump power and the gain as a function of the fiber length. It also shows the gain saturation and recovery effects depending on the pumping rate lead to distortion and saturation in the amplification of optical pulse. The results of numerical analysis, for the case of the Pr ion concentration of 1000ppm and the pump power of 0.5W the gain saturation is obtained 30dB at the length of 5m and the saturation time of upper level is 250 $mutextrm{s}$.

At the previous papers, we showed that ${K_2}O$-CaO-${P_2}{O_5}$ glasses had a solubility in air so that they could be used for glass fertilizer. In this work, we fabricated the Eco-glass fertilizer containing trace elements of B, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Co, Mo, the needed micronutrients for plants to grow, by a melt-quenching process. The dissolution properties in these glasses were investigated with a pH meter and an ICP analyzer. The trace elements doped glasses showed similar behavior in dissolutions and stability properties with the mother glass without containing trace elements. In addition, the dissolution amount of each trace elements depends on the mother glass composition and the quantity of each trace elements, which determine the dissolving velocity of chemical elements.

We have studied lead-based gapless semiconductors, $PbPdO_2$, which is very sensitive to external parameters such as temperature, pressure, electric field, etc[1]. We have fabricated pure $PbPdO_2$, Co- and Mn-doped $PbPdO_2$ thin films using the pulsed laser deposition. Because of the volatile element of Pb, it is very difficult to grow the films. Note that in case of $MgB_2$, Mg is also volatile element. So in order to enhance the quality of $MgB_2$, some experiments are carried out in annealing with Mg-rich atmosphere [2]. This annealing process with volatile element plays an important role in making smooth surface. Thus, we applied such process to our studies of $PbPdO_2$ thin films. As a result, we found the optimal condition of ex-situ annealing temperature ${\sim}650^{\circ}C$ and time ~12 hrs. The ex-situ annealing brought the extreme change of surface morphology of thin films. After ex-situ annealing with PbO-rich atmosphere, the grain size of thin film was almost 100 times enlarged for all the thin films and also the PbO impurity phase was smeared out. And from X-ray diffraction measurements, we determined highly crystallized phases after annealing. So, we measured electrical and magnetic properties. Because of reduced grain boundary, the resistivity of ex-situ annealed samples changed smaller than no ex-situ sample. And the carrier densities of thin films were decreased with ex-situ annealing time. In this case, oxygen vacancies were removed by ex-situ annealing. Furthermore, we will discuss the transport and magnetic properties in pure $PbPdO_2$, Co- and Mn-doped $PbPdO_2$ thin films in detail.

In order to improve the capacity and cycling stability of Ni-rich NCA cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, the boron and cobalt were doped in commercial $Li_{1.06}Ni_{0.91}Co_{0.08}Al_{0.01}O_2$ (NCA) powders. Commercial NCA particles are mixed composites such as secondary particles of about $5{\mu}m$ and $12{\mu}m$, and the particle size was decreased by doping boron and cobalt. The initial discharge capacities of the boron and cobalt doped NCA-B and NCA-Co were found to be 214 mAh/g and 200 mAh/g, respectively, which are higher values than that of the raw NCA cathode material. In particular, NCA-Co exhibits the best discharge capacity of 157 mAh/g after 20 cycles, which is probably due to the enhanced diffusion of lithium ion by crystal growth along with the c-axis direction.

In this study, the optical properties of CaF2-Al2O3-B2O3-TiO2 (CABT) system glass doped with rare earth ion, that is used in various light devices due to its excellent luminous properties, were analyzed as a function of kind of crystal phases formed and size of crystals generated in the glass matrix. TiO2 was added to control nucleation and crystallization, and Eu2O3 was added to enhance the luminescence characteristics. DTA analysis was performed to confirm the heat treatment condition of crystal generation, and XRD and SEM anal ysis were carried out for the crystal phase change of nanometer size. As a result of the analysis, the luminous properties of oxy-fluoride-based glass were improved duo to crystallization of nanometer size, but was rather degraded when excessively large crystals were generated.
