BSCCO:2212-2223 thin films were fabricated by using the ion beam sputter with a evaporation method at various substrate temperatures, $T_{sub}$, and ozone gas pressures, $pO_3$. The correlation diagrams of the BSCCO phases with Tsub and $pO_3$ are established in the 2212 and 2223 compositional films. In spite of 2212 compositional sputtering, Bi2201 and Bi2223 as well as Bi2212 phases come out as stable phases depending on Tsub and $pO_3$. From these results, the thermodynamic evaluation of ${\Delta}H$ and ${\Delta}S$, which are related with Gibbs' free energy change for single Bi2212 or Bi2223 phase, was performed.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3$, $Na_2CO_3$, ZnO as sintering aids and their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated according to the Bi substitution, Bi substitution induced grain growth and increase of sinterablity, And also, Bi substitution suppress secondary phase due to the liquid phase sintering effect. Bi substitution enhanced electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) and dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), However, mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) was deteriorated, At the sintering temperature of 870 $^{\circ}C$ and Bi substitution of 1 mol%, density, electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$), Dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$) and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of specimen showed the optimum values of 7,878 $g/cm^3$, 0,608, 835, 1603 and 397 pC/N, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

Ni-Cr-Sn-Bi alloys were prepared by air melting and sand casting method and their anti-galling behaviors were examined. Anti-galling properties were dominantly influenced by Bi-rich low temperature precipitates. Alloying effects on the anti-galling properties were investigated for several alloying elements to improve anti-galling properties of the alloy. An alloy with $1-3wt\%$ of Te showed markedly improved anti-galling properties. Metallographic and tribological tests were carried out to find out reasons for excellent properties. It was found that Te containing alloy has finely distributed precipitates of Bi-rich phase. The addition of Te changed the morphology of the Ni-rich primary phase from globular to fine dendritic. As a result, the anti-galling phase precipitated between dendrite arms with fine distribution showed excellent anti-galling properties.

BSCCO thin films are fabricated via a co-deposition process at an ultra-low growth rate using ion beam sputtering. The sticking coefficient of Bi element exhibits a characteristic temperature dependence. This temperature dependence of the sticking coefficient was explained consistently on the basis of the evaporation and sublimation processes of Bi$_2$O$_3$.

Nd and Ti co-doped bismuth ferrite $(Bi_{1-x}Nd_x)(Fe_{1-y}Ti_y)O_3$ (x, y = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) ceramics and thin films were synthesized through the conventional mixed-oxide process and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), respectively. Nd and Ti co-doping effect was examined with emphasis on how these impurities affect phase formation behavior as there could be the improvement in leakage current problems often associated with multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) thin films. The lattice constants of BFO ceramics decreased with Nd doping concentration up to 10mol%, while they further decreased with Nd and Ti co-doping to about 20%. BFO thin films obtained by the PLD process revealed random polycrystalline structure. Similar to bulk BFO ceramic, Nd and Ti co-doping effectively suppressed the formation of unwanted secondary phase and thus stabilized the perovskite phase in BFO thin films.

BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by epitaxy growth at an ultra-low growth rate. The growth rates of the films was set in the region from 0.17 to 0.27 nm/min. MgO(100) was used as a substrate. In order to appreciate stable existing region of Bi 2212 phase with temperature and ozone pressure, the substrate temperature was varied between 655 and 820 $^{\circ}C$ and the highly condensed ozone gas pressure(PO3) in vacuum chamber was varied between $2.0{\times}10^{-6}$ and $2.3{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr. Bi 2212 phase appeared in the temperature range of 750 and 795 $^{\circ}C$ and single phase of Bi 2201 existed in the lower region than $785\;^{\circ}C$. Whereas, $PO_3$ dependance on structural formation was scarcely observed regardless of the pressure variation. And high quality of c-axis oriented Bi 2212 thin film with $T_c$(onset) of about 90 K and $T_c$(zero) of about 45 K is obtained. Only a small amount of CuO in some films was observed as impurity, and no impurity phase such as $CaCuO_2$ was observed in all of the obtained films.

Using the $PbO-B_2O_3-Bi_2O_3$ flux system, $(TbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(TbIG)$, $(EuBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuIG)$ and $(EuTbBi)_3(FeAIGa)_5O_{12}(EuTbIG)$ films were grown on $(GdCa)_3(GaMgZr)_5O_{12}(SGGG)$ substrates by the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The saturation magnetization of the grown TbIG, EuIG and EuTbIG films was about 150, 950 and 125 Oe, respectively. The TbIG films resulted in the single magnetic domain while the EuIG and EuTbIG films were observed to be the multi magnetic domains by magnetic force microscope (MFM).

The heterojunction structures of BiOCl/$Bi_3O_4Cl$, exhibiting considerable visible-light photocatalytic efficiency, were prepared by a simple wet-chemical process at ambient condition. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, TEM, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. Under visible light (${\lambda}\geq$420 nm) irradiation, BiOCl/$Bi_3O_4Cl$ exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity in decomposing 2-propanol (IP) in gas phase and salicylic acid (SA) in aqueous solution, whereas the bare BiOCl and $Bi_3O_4Cl$ showed negligible activities. It is deduced that the remarkable visible-light photocatalytic activity of the BiOCl/$Bi_3O_4Cl$ originates from the hole $(h^+)$ transfer between VB of the $Bi_3O_4Cl$ and BiOCl semiconductors.

Samples with the nominal composition, B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+}$$\delta$/ (110 K phase) high $T_{C}$ superconductors containing MgO as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with 5~50 wt％ MgO were sintered at 820~86$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The structural characteristics, critical temperature and grain size of the samples with different MgO contents were analyzed by XRD and SEM. As the MgO content increased, the intensity of MgO peaks and ratio of Bi-2212 phase in superconductors were intensified and the proportion of the phase transition from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 was increased.d.creased.d.

The effects of various additives on the microstructures of sintered ZnO varistors were examined. Bi2O3, Sb2O3 and Cr2O3 were added to ZnO step by step to identify the effect of each component. The specimens were prepared by sintering at 110$0^{\circ}C$ and 120$0^{\circ}C$ in ambient atmosphere. In ZnO-Bi2O3-Sb2O3 ternary system, decrease of averge grain size due to antimony oxide addition depends on sintering temperature as well as Bi2O3 content. When Sb2O3 was partly or completely replaced by Cr2O3, grain size was further reduced. A significant amount of pyrochlore phase which was not transformed to spinel and Bi2O3-rich liquid phase seemed to remain during sintering at 110$0^{\circ}C$. Unlike ZnO-Bi2O3-Sb2O3 system, the $\alpha$-spinel phase containing significant amount of Cr did not transform to pyrochlore during furnace cooling. Fine spinel particles around 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size were ovserved within ZnO grains and grain boundaries, which were believed to be responsible for grain-growth inhibition in ZnO-Bi2O3-Sb2O3.
