Piezoelectric ceramic specimens with the $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.65}Ti_{0.35}O_3$ (PMN-PT) composition are prepared by the solid state reaction method known as the "columbite precursor" method. Moreover, the effects of the $Li_2O-Bi_2O_3$ additive on the microstructure, crystal structure, and piezoelectric properties of sintered PMN-PT ceramic samples are investigated. The addition of $Li_2O-Bi_2O_3$ lowers the sintering temperature from $1,200^{\circ}C$ to $950^{\circ}C$. Moreover, with the addition of >5 wt.% additive, the crystal structure changes from tetragonal to rhombohedral. Notably, the sample with 3 wt.% additive exhibits excellent piezoelectric properties ($d_{33}=596pC/N$ and Kp = 57%) and a sintered density of $7.92g/cm^3$ after sintering at $950^{\circ}C$. In addition, the sample exhibits a curie temperature of $138.6^{\circ}C$ at 1 kHz. Finally, the compatibility of the sample with a Cu electrode is examined, because the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy data indicate the absence of interdiffusion between Cu and the ceramic material.

Lead free $(Ba_{0.7}Ca_{0.3})TiO_3$ thick films with nano-sized grains are prepared using an aerosol deposition (AD) method at room temperature. The crystallinity of the AD thick films is enhanced by a post annealing process. Contrary to the sharp phase transition of bulk ceramics that has been reported, AD films show broad phase transition behaviors due to the nano-sized grains. The polarization-electric hysteresis loop of annealed AD film shows ferroelectric behaviors. With an increase in annealing temperature, the saturation polarization increases because of an increase in crystallinity. However, the remnant polarization and cohesive field are not affected by the annealing temperature. BCT AD thick films annealed at $700^{\circ}C/2h$ have an energy density of $1.84J/cm^3$ and a charge-discharge efficiency of 69.9 %, which is much higher than those of bulk ceramic with the same composition. The higher energy storage properties are likely due to the increase in the breakdown field from a large number of grain boundaries of nano-sized grains.

Series of unequal quantity Nd/Ce co-doped ceramic nuclear waste forms, (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇, were prepared to tailor its ordered pyrochlore or disordered fluorite structure. The phase transition, microtopography, and elemental composition of the ceramic samples were systematically investigated, especially the effect of order-disorder structure on the chemical stability. It was confirmed that unequal quantity of Nd/Ce could synchronously replace the Gd/Zr-sites of Gd₂Zr₂O₇. And the phase transition of order-disorder structure could be successfully tailored by regulating the average cationic radius ratio of (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ series. The elements of Gd, Nd, Zr, and Ce are uniformly distributed in the ordered or disordered structures. The MCC-1 leaching results showed that (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ pyrochlore ceramic nuclear waste forms had excellent chemical stability, whose elements' normalized leaching rates were as low as 10^-4-10^-7 g·m^-2·d^-1 after 7 days. In particular, the chemical stability of disordered structure was superior to that of ordered structure. It was proposed that the force constant and the closest packing were changed with the structure transformation resulting the chemical stability difference.

Porous ceramics have the advantages of low density, low thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties. Among porous ceramic manufacturing methods, the replica template method allows the easy manufacturing of porous filters with the highest porosity and pores of the desired size, but it also has the disadvantage that the resulting filters have low mechanical strength. To overcome this shortcoming, mullite (3Al₂O₃·2SiO₂) whiskers, which have excellent thermal stability and high mechanical strength, were introduced in porous ceramic structure. The mullite whiskers were synthesized using a composition of Al₂O₃, flyash and MoO₃. The morphologies and crystal structures of the mullite whiskers with MoO₃ contents were investigated in detail. When the porous ceramic with mullite whiskers was fabricated using 20 wt% MoO₃ catalyst the most uniform microstructure was obtained, and the mullite whiskers showed the highest aspect ratio of 47.03. The porosity and compressive strength of the fabricated porous ceramic were 82.12 % and 0.83 MPa, respectively.

Co fine particles were dispersed in Au metal and $AlO_x$ amorphous matrices by vacuum evaporation and rf-sputtering, respectively, thus forming granular composite films having chemical compositions of $Co_{0.59}-Au_{0.41}$ and $Co_{0.52}/(AlO_x$)_{0.48}$. The films were annealed at 200~$500^{\circ}C$ to increase the size of the Co particles, from 30$\AA$ to 180$\AA$ in the Au matrix and 40$\AA$ to 180$\AA$ in the $AlO_x$ matrix, as revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Co metal in as-deposited films have saturation magnetization equivalent to that of bulk Co, which is unchanged by the annealing, showing that the Co metal is not oxidized by the annealing. Magneto-optical Kerr rotation measured at $\lambda$=400-900nm for the $Co_{0.59}-Au_{0.41}$ film as deposited is larger than that calculated for the composition. The rotation increases as the film is annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, approaching to that of bulk Co. The Kerr rotation for the $Co_{0.52}-(AlO_x)_{0.48}$ film as deposited is smaller than that calculated for the composition based on Bruggeman effective medium theory. However, the rotation increases much, exceeding the rotation of the bulk Co as annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. As a possible origin of the marked magneto-optical enhancement a weak localization of light in granular structure is suggested.

산소 결핍 페라이트 (oxygen deficient ferrites, ODF) $MeFe_2O_{4-\delta}$는 약 $300^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서 $CO_2$를 C와 $O_2$로 분해한다. 본 연구에서는 $(Ni_x,\;Zn_{1-x}Fe_2_4$ 초미세 페라이트 분말을 수열합성법으로 제조하여 $CO_2$ 분해특성을 살펴보았다. 제조된 페라이트는 XRD 분석 결과, 페라이트의 전형적인 스피넬 구조를 보여주고 있으며, ICP-AES, EDS 정량분석에 의하여 초기 혼합 조성비와 거의 동일한 조성비로 합성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 제조된 (Ni, Zn)-ferrites 분말의 BET 비표면적은 약 $110\textrm{mg}^2$/g$ 이상의 큰 값으로 나타났으며, 입자크기는 약 5~10nm로 매우 작았다. 산소결핍 페라이트 $(Ni_x,\;Zn_{1-x})Fe_2O_{4-{$\delta}}$의 $CO_2$ 분해 효율은 조성에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 3원계 (Ni, Zn)-ferrite가 Ni-ferrite보다 더 높았다.

이 연구에서는 벽돌 재료인 토양이 온도별로 소성되면서 겪는 광물학적 변화와 이에 수반된 물리적 변화를 토대로 송산리 고분군 출토 벽돌의 소성온도를 해석하였다. 토양시료를 $500{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$로 소성하였을 때, 구성광물의 상전이에 의해 광물조성과 미세조직이 변했고 이에 따라 색, 흡수율, 기공률 등의 물리적 특성도 달라졌다. 광물조성은 상안정범위에 따른 광물의 구조붕괴와 재결정으로 인해 온도별로 달라졌지만 색, 흡수율, 미세조직은 $1,000^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 변화 폭이 적었고 $1,000{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$에서는 급격한 변화가 나타났다. 이를 토대로 송산리 고분군 벽돌시료의 소성온도를 해석한 결과, 송산리 고분군 벽돌은 $1,200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 과소성품, $1,100{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$의 고온소성품, $900{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$의 소성품과 소성되지 않은 것으로 판단되는 벽돌이 공존하는 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 이러한 광물학적 및 물리적 변화과정을 토대로 보다 정밀한 소성온도 해석이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

NKN [(Na,K)NbO₃] is a candidate lead-free piezoelectric material to replace PZT [Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃]. A single crystal has excellent piezoelectric-properties and its properties are dependent of the crystal orientation direction. However, it is hard to fabricate a single crystal with stoichiometrically stable composition due to volatilization of sodium during the growth process. To solve this problem, a solid solution composition is designed (Na,K)NbO₃-Ba(Cu,Nb)O₃ and solid state grain growth is studied for a sizable single crystal. Ceramic powders of (Na,K)NbO₃-M(Cu,Nb)O₃ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) are synthesized and grain growth behavior is investigated for different temperatures and times. Average normal grain sizes of individual specimens, which are heat-treated at 1,125 ℃ for 10 h, are 6.9, 2.8, and 1.6 ㎛ for M = Ca, Sr, and Ba, respectively. Depending on M, the distortion of NKN structure can be altered. XRD results show that (NKN-CaCuN: shrunken orthorhombic; NKN-SrCuN: orthorhombic; NKN-BaCuN: cubic). For the sample heat-treated at 1,125 ℃ for 10 h, the maximum grain sizes of individual specimens are measured as 40, 5, and 4,000 ㎛ for M = Ca, Sr, and Ba, respectively. This abnormal grain size is related to the partial melting temperature (NKN-CaCuN: 960 ℃; NKN-SrCuN: 971 ℃; NKN-BaCuN: 945 ℃).
