In the system of Li2O-MgO-Al2O3-Cr2O3, the crystalline solid solution of LiCrO2 along the pseudo-binary join between rocksalt structure(LiCrO2) and spinel structure(MgCr2O4 or MgAl2O4) have been investigated by x-ray diffraction techniques. In this study, order-disorder phase transition of LiCrO2 was observed and the unit cell of the disordered LiCrO2 structure has been established. It has been found that LiCrO2 makes a solid solution over a wide range with MgAl2O4, while not with MgCr2O4. This difference was explained as being due to the ability of oxygen lattice distortion which depended on the relative sizes and chemical bonding characteristics of the substituted ions.

The effects of Cr2O3 content on the properties of direct-bonded MgO-Cr2O3 bricks were investigated in the range of 10 to 30 wt% of Cr2O3. Modulus of rupture of bricks was excellent in about 20 wt% of Cr2O3 content. The corrosion resistance of bricks was improved by increasing Cr2O3 content and was directly pro-portional to the amount of secondary spinels. On the other hand, the spalling resistance of bricks depended on the amount of flux rather than Cr2O3 content.

광촉매능을 갖는 $TiO_2$는 국내외적으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 빛의 조사로 발생하는 다양한 물리 화학적 촉매특성이 환경정화 뿐만 아니라 및 에너지 흡수차단 기능도 갖고 있어 최근 주목을 받고 있다. 응용분야로 초친수성 유리제품, 필터, 살균기능의 의료용 부품소재, 고효율 수소생산 및 태양전지 등에 활용성이 커서 친환경에너지 소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초친수성 자동차의 사이드미러 개발을 위해 유리표면에 초친수성 $TiO_2$를 코팅하 고 그의 특성을 평가하였다. 특히, 이종밴드갭을 갖는 복합구조 $TiO_2/Cr_2O_3$/Cr 박막을 스퍼터링법으로 증착하여 중간층인 $Cr_2O_3$의 역할을 고찰하였다. 제조된 박막의 결정구조는 thin film형 X-선회절기(XRD)를 사용하여 분석하였으며, 박막의 표면 미세구조는 FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope)와 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)으로, 화학구조는 XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscope)로 분석하였다. 친수성 평가는 실온 분위기에서 접촉각 측정기(Topcon-UVR2)를 사용하여 평가 하였으며 이때 조사되는 UV는 파장이 365nm이다. $Cr_2O_3$(비정질)/Cr박막위에 제조된 $TiO_2$ 박막은 균일한 anatase-$TiO_2$가 성장했으나, Cr, $Cr_2O_3$(결정질)박막위에 제조 된 $TiO_2$ 박막은 anatase상과 rulile상이 혼합된 형태로 성장하였다. $TiO_2$/Cr, $TiO_2/Cr_2O_3$(비정질)/Cr, $TiO_2/Cr_2O_3$(결정질)/Cr박막은 UV조사 1시간 만에 $10^{\circ}$ 이하의 초친수성을 나타내었다. 이종 밴드갭을 갖는 $TiO_2/Cr_2O_3$(비정질)/Cr박막은 40시간까지 친수성을 유지하는 결과를 나타냈다.

In the present work, the influence of oxide on the Cr-Si-N coatings was investigated for the Cr-Si-O-N coatings on AISI 304 and Si wafer deposited by hybrid system, which combines the DC magnetron sputtering technique and arc ion plating (AIP) using Cr and Si target in an $Ar/N_2/O_2$ gaseous mixture. As the O content in the Cr-Si-N coatings increased, the diffraction patterns of the Cr-Si-O-N coatings showed CrN and $Cr_2O_3$ phases. However, as the O content increased to 28.8 at.%, diffraction peak of $Cr_2O_3$ was disappeared in the Cr-Si-O-N coating. The $d_{200}$ value was decreased with increasing of O content. The average grain size increased from about 40 nm to 65 nm as the O content increased. The maximum micro-hardness of the Cr-Si-O-N coating was obtained 4507 Hk at the O content of 24.8 at.%. The average friction coefficient of the Cr-Si-O-N coatings was gradually decreased by increasing the O content and the average friction coefficient decreased from 0.37 to 0.25 by increasing the O content. These results indicated that amorphous phase was increased in the Cr-Si-O-N coatings by increasing of O content.

$Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles were prepared via one-step reactive laser ablation of Cr in oxygen. The metastable $CrO_2$ phase was obtained through the subsequent oxidation of $Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles under $O_2$ with gas pressures of up to 40 MPa. The as-prepared $Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles are spherical or rectangular in shape with sizes ranging from 20 nm to 50 nm. High oxygen pressure annealing is effective in producing meta-stable $CrO_2$ from as-dried $Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles, and the $Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles exhibit a weak ferromagnetic behavior with an exchange bias of up to 11 mT that can be ascribed to the interfacial exchange coupling between uncompensated surface spins and the antiferromagnetic core. The $Cr_2O_3/CrO_2$ nanoparticles exhibit an enhanced saturation magnetization and a reduced exchange bias with an increasing faction of $CrO_2$ due to the elimination of uncompensated surface spins over the $Cr_2O_3$ nanoparticles when exposed to a high pressure of $O_2$ and/or possible phase segregation that results in a smaller grain size for both $Cr_2O_3$ and $CrO_2$.

We report the magnetic properties, microstructures, and crystal orientations of the CrO$_2$ thin films on TiO$_2$ single crystals. CrO$_2$ thin films were deposited by thermal decompositions with CrO$_3$ source materials. The microstructure of (110) oriented CrO$_2$ thin films deposited on (110) TiO$_2$ single crystals were uniform. As the oxygen flow rates increased, the resistivity, coercive field, and remnant magnetization of the CrO$_2$ thin films on TiO$_2$ single crystals decreased.

Single and complex metal oxide catalysts supported onto a commercial DT51D $TiO_2$ have been investigated for gas-phase TCE oxidation in a continuous flow type fixed-bed reaction system to develop a better design approach to catalysts for this reaction. Among the $TiO_2$-supported single metal oxides used, i.e., $CrO_x,\;FeO_x,\;MnO_x,\;LaO_x,\;CoO_x,\;NiO_x,\;CeO_x\;and\;CuO_x$, with the respective metal contents of 5 wt.%, the $CrO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst was shown to be most active for the oxidative TCE decomposition, depending significantly on amounts of $CrO_x\;on\;TiO_2$. The use of high $CrO_x$ loadings greater than 10 wt.% caused lower activity in the catalytic TCE oxidation, which is probably due to production of $Cr_2O_3$ crystallites on the surface of $TiO_2$. $CrO_x/TiO_2$-supported $CrO_x$-based bimetallic oxide catalysts were of particular interest in removal efficiency for this TCE oxidation reaction at reaction temperatures above $200^{\circ}C$, compared to that obtained with $CrO_x$-free complex metal oxides and a 10 wt.% $CrO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst. Catalytic activity of 5 wt.% $CrO_x-5$ wt.% $LaO_x$ in the removal reaction was similar to or slightly higher than that acquired for the $CrO_x$-only catalyst. Similar observation was revealed for 5 wt.% $CrO_x$-based bimetallic oxides consisting of either 5 wt.% $MnO_x,\;CoO_x,\;NiO_x\;or\;FeO_x$. These results represent that such $CrO_x$-based bimetallic systems for the catalytic TCE oxidation on significantly minimize the usage of $CrO_x$ that is well known to be one of very toxic heavy metals, and offer a very useful technique to design new type catalysts for reducing chlorinated volatile organic substances.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr-Ni steel and Cr-Ni steel-matrix nanocomposites reinforced with nano-ZrO₂ particles were investigated in this study. Cr-Ni steel and Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposites were produced using a combination of high-energy ball milling, pressing, and sintering processes. The microstructures of the specimens were analyzed using EDX and XRD. Compression and hardness tests were performed to determine the mechanical properties of the specimens. Nano-ZrO₂ particles were effective in preventing chrome carbide precipitate at the grain boundaries. While t-ZrO₂ was detected in Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposites, m-ZrO₂ could not be found. Few α'-martensite and deformation bands were formed in the microstructures of Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposites. Although nano-ZrO₂ particles had a negligible impact on the strength improvement provided by deformation-induced plasticity mechanisms in Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposites, the mechanical properties of Cr-Ni steel were significantly improved by using nano-ZrO₂ particles. The hardness and compressive strength of Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposite were higher than those of Cr-Ni steel and enhanced as the weight fraction of nano-ZrO₂ particles increased. Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposite with 5wt.% nano-ZrO₂ particles had almost twofold the hardness and compressive strength of Cr-Ni steel. The nano-ZrO₂ particles were considerably more effective on particle-strengthening mechanisms than deformation-induced strengthening mechanisms in Cr-Ni/ZrO₂ nanocomposites.
