The electromagnetic properties of Ni$\_$0.8/Zn$\_$0.2/Fe$_2$O$_4$ having stable characteristics in high frequency range were investigated as functions of Bi$_2$O$_3$, CaO contents. Power loss increased in proportion to the amount of Bi$_2$O$_3$ up to 0.3 wt％ and decreased over 0.3 wt％. Also, permeability increased with Bi$_2$O$_3$ contents. The lowest power loss and highest resonance frequency were obtained to the specimens added Bi$_2$O$_3$ of 0.7wt％ and CaO of 0.3 wt％ due to creation of resistivity layers in the grain boundaries originated by the solid solution of Bi$_2$O$_3$ and CaO.

The effects of Nb and Co ion substitution on the dielectric and magnetic properties of the multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ thin films have been investigated. Heteroepitaxial $BiFeO_3$ thin films were deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition method. Nb substitution decreased the leakage current by 6 orders of magnitude and Co substituted $BiFeO_3$ thin films showed an enhanced magnetization, 2 times larger than that of un-substituted $BiFeO_3$. Through the co-substitution of Co and Nb, $BiFeO_3$ thin films with a low leakage current and an enhanced magnetization could be obtained.

Field emission display (FED) is currently being explored as a potential flat panel display technology. The need of new materials for low voltage blue phosphors for FED focused our attention on the $Y_2O_3-Nb_2O_5$ sys-tem. Yttrium niobate doped with $Bi^{3+}$ was prepared by solid state reaction technique and the optimization of the luminescent properties with a control of $Bi^{3+}$ amounts and Y/Nb ratio was studied. Under 254 nm and low voltage electron excitations $Bi^{3+}-activated$ YNbO4 phosphors showed a strong and relatively narrow blue em-ission band with a range of 420 to 450 nm, Especially 0.4wt% $Bi^{3+}\;doped\;YNbO_4$ phosphors with Y/Nb ratio of 1/1 showed the maximum emission intensity. Under low voltage electron excitation maximum emission in-tensity appeared at the Y/Nb ratio of 0.495/0.505.

Cu-free multi-component sol, of which final oxide composition becomes $Bi_{1.9}Pb{0.35}SrCaO,\;Bi_{1.8}Pb_{0.2}SrCaO\;and\;Bi_{1.5}SrCaO$, respectively, was prepared through sol-gel route and coated on a bare Cu substrate. Starting materials were metal-alkoxides as follows.; [$Bi(OC_{2}H_{5})_{3}\;Pb(O^{1}C_{3}H_{7})_{2},\;Sr(O^{i}C_{3}H_{7})_{2},\;Ca(OC_{2}H_{5})_{2}$] as a reagent grade. Transparent light yellowish sol was obtained in the case of $Bi_{1.9}Pb_{0.35}SrCaO\;and\;Bi_{1.8}Pb_{0.2}SrCaO$ composition and $Bi_{1.5}SrCaO$ composition's sol was light greenish. Each sol was repeatedly dip-coated on Cu substrate four times and pre-heated at $400^{\circ}C$ and finally heat-treated in the range of $740{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. In the results, crystalline phases confirmed by XRD were (2201) orthorhombic and monoclinic phases. However, only $Bi_{1.9}Pb_{0.35}SrCaO_{x}$ composition showed pseudo-superconductive behavior after heat-treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 12 seconds and then onset temperature was 77 K, even though it did not exhibit zero resistance below Tc.

The (Bi,Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$[BBST] thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF sputtering method. We investigated the effects of Ar/$O_2$ rates on the structural properties of BBST thin films. Decreasing the $O_2$ rates, the intensity of $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ and $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ peaks were increased but the $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ peak was decreased. In the case of BBST thin films deposited with condition of 90/10 (Ar/$O_2$) ratio, the composition of Ba/Sr/Bi was 0.35/0.4/0.25. Also, in the BBST thin films deposited with condition of 80/20(Ar/$O_2$) ratio, the composition of Br,Sr and Ti were relatively uniform. But the component of Bi and Ti were diffused into the Pt layers.

Nonlinear exponents and electron trap density variations were observered in ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO2 ternary ZnO varistors as a function of heat treatment temperature. Three kinds of ZnO varistor compositions were selected; i.e. 99.0 ZnO-0.5 Bi2O3-0.5 MnO2, 98.5 ZnO-1.0 Bi2O3-0.5 MnO2, and 98.0 ZnO-1.5 Bi2O3-0.5 MnO2 in mol%. Sintering was done at 1150$^{\circ}C$ for three hours, and heat treatments were done at 500$^{\circ}C$, 700$^{\circ}C$, and 900$^{\circ}C$. When heat treated at 500$^{\circ}C$, nonlinear exponents were increased regardless of the Bi2O3 amount. Increasing heat treatment temperature above 500$^{\circ}C$ resulted in lowering nonlinear exponents. Nonlinear exponents seem to be related to the 0.17 and 0.33 eV electron traps which are possibly of intrinsic origin.

The single crystalline thick films of Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(YIG), Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(Bi:YIG), (TbBi)$_3$(FeAlGa)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (TbBi:YIG) were grown on (GdCa)$_3$(GaMgZr)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (SGGG) by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE). The change of lattice mismatch, Bi concentration, characteristic of magnetic and surface morphology were investigated in the thick film growth as a function of species and amount of chemical element, while substrate rotation speed, supercooling and growth time were kept constant. It was observed that the lattice constant of garnet single crystalline thick films of TbBi:YIG (12.500 ${\AA}$) is closed to the one of the substrate (12.496 ${\AA}$). Besides magnetic field of saturation exhibits excellent results (150 Oe).

The $Bi_2O_3$ nanowires are highly sensitive to low concentrations of $NO_2$ in ambient air and are almost insensitive to most other common gases. However, it still remains a challenge to enhance their sensing performance and detection limit. This study examined the influence of the encapsulation of ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ nanorods with $In_2O_3$ on the $NO_2$ gas sensing properties. ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3-core/In_2O_3-shell$ nanorods were fabricated by a two-step process comprising the thermal evaporation of $Bi_2O_3$ powders and sputter-deposition of $In_2O_3$. Multiple networked ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3-core/In_2O_3-shell$ nanorod sensors showed the responses of 12-156% at 1-5 ppm $NO_2$ at $300^{\circ}C$. These response values were 1.3-2.7 times larger than those of bare ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ nanorod sensors at 1-5 ppm $NO_2$. The enhancement in the response of ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ nanorods to $NO_2$ gas by the encapsulation by $In_2O_3$ can be accounted for based on the space-charge model.

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of single phase garnet $Y_{3-x}Bi_xFe_5O_{12}$ (x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) were studied by using x-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Ultra-fine polycrystalline cubic samples have been prepared by sol-gel method. The lattice constant increase linearly with increasing an amount of Bi. Annealing temperature was larger than 800 $^{\circ}C$ for the growth of a single-phase garnet powder. The second phase of garnet, $(BiFeO_3)$, was at 1000 $^{\circ}C$ for x=0.75, and 950 $^{\circ}C$ for x=1.00. From Mossbauer spectroscopy and VSM measurements, the magnetization and the coercivity were decreased and the Curie temperature $Y_{3-x}Bi_xFe_5O_{12}$(x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) was slightly increased as increasing the Bi content.
