In order to investigate the growth behavior of $Y_{2}Ba_{1}Cu_{1}O_{5}$(211) particles in $Y_{1}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$(123), 123 samples were quenched in air after heat treatment on polycrystal and single crystal MgO substrates at $1100^{\circ}C$ for various periods. 211 grains grew with the increase in holding time. The growth of 211 grains was faster on the polycrystal MgO substrate than on the single crystal MgO substrate. In the samples with the compositions of 211+xCuO($0.2\le X \le 0.8$), the growth rate of 211 grains increased with the increase in CuO content. In the sample with x=0.6 the largest 211 grains were observed. 211 grains in the $Y_{2}Ba_{1}Cu_{1.8}Sn_{0.1}O_{5+\delta}$ samples were distributed very finely and homogeneously. The retarding effect of $SnO_2$ addition on the growth of 211 grain appeared more pronounced in a CuO melt than in a $BaCuO_{2}$+ CuO melt.

Diffusion speed of Cu metal fine particle is fast better than CuO, so it will promote grain growth in sintering. In this paper, the influence on substituting Cu fine particle for CuO of NiCuZn ferrite with basic composition (N $i_{0.204}$C $u_{0.204}$Z $n_{0.612}$ $O_{1.02}$)F $e_{1.98}$ $O_{2.98}$ has been investigated with varying Cu/CuO ratio. The perfect spinel structure of sintered specimen at 90$0^{\circ}C$ was confirmed by the analysis of XRD patterns. The best condition was obtained when the ratio of Cu/CuO was 60%, and the permeability was 1100 and Ms was 87 emu/g in this condition. Cu has influenced on grain growth in sintering, substituting Cu fine particle for CuO could lower sintering temperature over the 3$0^{\circ}C$. After sintering, substituting Cu performed as good as CuO.s CuO.s CuO.

$TiO_2-catalyst$ suspensions work efficiently in Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, once photocatalysis is completed, separation of the catalyst from solution becomes the main problem. The PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA was studied to determine the reusability of the titanium dioxide catalyst. Aqueous solutions of $10^{-4}M$ Cu(II)-EDTA were treated using illuminated $TiO_2$ particles at pH 6 in a circulating reactor. $TiO_2$ was reused in PCO system for treatment of Cu(II)-EDTA comparing two procedures: reuse of water and $TiO_2$ and reuse of the entire suspension after PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA. The results are as follows; (i) Photocatalytic efficiency worsens with successive runs when catalyst and water are reused without separation and filtration, whereas, when $TiO_2$ is separated from water, the reused $TiO_2$ is not deactivated. (ii) The $TiO_2$ mean recovery (%) with reused $TiO_2$ was 86.4%(1.73g/L). Although the mean initial degradation rate of Cu(II)-EDTA and Cu(II) was lower than that using fresh $TiO_2$, there was no significant change in the rate during the course of the three-trial experiment. It is suggested that Cu(II)-EDTA could be effectively treated using an recycling procedure of PCO and catalyst recovery. (iii) However, without $TiO_2$ separation, the loss of efficiency of the PCO in the use of water and $TiO_2$ due to Cu(II), DOC remained from previous degradation and Cu(II)-EDTA added to the same suspension was observed after 2 trials, and resulted in the inhibition of the Cu(II)-EDTA, Cu(II) and DOC destruction.

The magnetic properties of the organic/inorganic hybrid copper-methylenediphosphonate, Cu2(O3PCH2PO3) were examined by performing the spin dimer analysis based on the extended Hckel tight binding method. In Cu2(O3PCH2PO3) the CuO3 chains made up of edge-sharing CuO5 square pyramidal units are inter-linked by O-P-O bridges. The Cu-O-Cu superexchange interactions of the CuO3 chains are negligibly weak compared with the Cu-O…O-Cu super-superexchange interactions that occur between the CuO3 chains. The spin exchange interactions of Cu2(O3PCH2PO3) are dominated by three super-superexchange interactions, which leads to a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin lattice. The strongest spin exchange interactions form isolated spin dimers, which suggests that, to a first approximation, the magnetic properties can be described in terms of an isolated spin dimer model.

In the current study, a Cu2O/TiO2 photoinduced nanocomposite materials prepared by ultrasonification method was evaluated the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of volatile organic compounds (BTEX) under visible-light irradiation. The results of XRD confirmed the successful preparation of photoinduced nanocomposite materials. However, diffraction peaks belonging to TiO2 were not confirmed for the Cu2O/TiO2. The possible reason for the absence of Cu2O peak is their low content and small particle size. The result of uv-vis spectra exhibited that the fabricated Cu2O/TiO2 can be activated under visible light irradiation. The FE-SEM/EDS and TEM showed the formation of synthesized nanocomposites and componential analysis in the undoped TiO2 and Cu2O/TiO2. The photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene with Cu2O/TiO2 were higher than undoped TiO2. According to light sources, the average oxidation efficiencies for BTEX by Cu2OT-0.5 were exhibited in the orer of 8 W day light > violet LEDs > white LEDs. However, the photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies normalized to supplied electric power were calculated to be in the following order of violet LEDs > white LEDs > 8 W day light, indicating that the LEDs could be a much more energy efficient light source for the photo-oxidation of gaseous BTEX using Cu2O/TiO2.

p-type 반도체 물질로 알려진 $Cu_2O$에 Li 이온을 doping하면 Cu 이온 자리에 Li이온이 치환되어 p-type의 특성이 더욱 강하게 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RF magnetron sputtering방법으로 성막한 p-type형 $Li:Cu_2O$박막의 특성을 연구하고 이를 $Li:Cu_2O-ZnO$ pn 접합 유연 나노제너레이터에 적용하였다. $Li:Cu_2O$ 성막시 $O_2$ 분압을 변수로 100nm 두께의 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막을 성막하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적, 표면 특성을 분석하였다. Hall measurement 측정 결과 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막은 정공을 Major Carrier로 갖는 p-type 반도체임을 확인하였고, $O_2$의 분압이 증가할수록 Mobility 및 Carrier Concentration이 증가함을 확인하였다. 최적조건에서 광학적 투과도는 약 45%를 보였으며, 투과도를 통해 계산한 band gap은 약 2.03eV로써 일반적인 산화물 반도체의 작은 밴드갭을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Ellipsometer분석을 통해 $Ar:O_2$ 비가 $Li:Cu_2O$ 굴절률 및 흡광도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였으며, FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope)을 통해 표면을 분석하였다. 또한 XRD(X-ray diffractometer), TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope) 분석을 통하여 상온에서 성막한 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막의 미세구조를 연구하였다. UPS(Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석을 통해 일함수를 측정하였다. 이렇게 제작된 p 타입 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막을 이용하여 $Li:Cu_2O-ZnO$ pn 접합을 구현하고 이를 이용해 유연 나노제너레이터를 제작하였다. 다양한 특성 분석을 통해p-type을 이용한 산화물 박막 기반 유연 나노 제너레이터 특성 향상 메커니즘을 제시하였다.

The effect of Cu substitution on the structural and superconducting properties of the $(Ru_{1-x}Cu_x)Sr_2(Eu_{1.34{\cdot}}Ce_{0.66})Cu_2O_z$ system with x = 0, 0.25 and 0.5 prepared under ambient pressure have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the Ru ions are replaced by the Cu ions. It is found that the Cu substitution for Ru significantly reduces the ferromagnetic component of field-cooled magnetic susceptibility, but results in a small change in diamagnetic onset transition temperature of zero-field-cooled magnetic susceptibility. In contrast to the Ru $Sr_2(Eu_{1.34{\cdot}}Ce_{0.66})Cu_2O_z$, bulk Meissner effect is observed in the field-cooled magnetization measurements of the Cu doped samples. The experimental results are discussed in connection with the spontaneous vortex phase interpretation.

Two copper(II) complexes, [CuL3](ClO4)2 bearing one N-CH2CH2CONH2 group as well as one N-CH2CH2CN group and [CuL4](ClO4)2 bearing two N-CH2CH2CONH2 groups, have been prepared by the selective hydrolysis of [CuL2](ClO4)2 (L2 = C-meso-1,8-bis(cyanoethyl)-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). The complex [CuL5](ClO4)2 bearing one N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 and one N-CH2CH2CN groups has been prepared as the major product from the reaction of [CuL2](ClO4)2 with methanol in the presence of triethylamine. In acidic aqueous solution, the N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 group of [CuL5](ClO4)2 undergoes hydrolysis to yield [CuL6](ClO4)2 bearing both N-CH2CH2COOCH3 and N-CH2CH2CN groups. The crystal structure of [CuL5](ClO4)2 shows that the complex has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron with an apical Cu-N (N-CH2CH2C(=NH)OCH3 group) bond. The apical Cu-N bond distance (2.269(3) A) is ca. 0.06 A longer than the apical Cu-O (N-CH2CH2CONH2 group) bond of [CuL4](ClO4)2. The pendant amide group of [CuL3](ClO4)2 is involved in coordination. The carboxylic ester group of [CuL6](ClO4)2 is also coordinated to the metal ion in various solvents but is removed from the coordination sphere in the solid state.
