For dye sensitization of zinc oxide in the visible region, copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) and sunfast yellow(SY) were adsorbed in two layers on zinc oxide powder. The adsorption structures of $\alpha-and\beta-CuPc$ on zinc oxide were investigated by photoacoustic, IR and Raman spectra. The ${\alpha}-and\;{\beta}$-polymorphs exhibited dimeric structure or molecular aggregates. The surface photovoltaic effect of ZnO/CuPc/SY showed higher than that of ZnO/SY/CuPc and $ZnO/\beta-CuPc/SY$ indicated better photosensitive than $ZnO/\alpha-CuPc/SY.$ Electrophotographic sensitivity of $ZnO/\beta-CuPc/SY$ was $$S_{1/2}=2.99{\times}10^{-2}(erg/cm^2)^{-1}$ at 630 nm.

The hydrogen reduction behavior of $MoO_3-CuO$ powder mixture for the synthesis of homogeneous Mo-20 wt% Cu composite powder is investigated. The reduction behavior of ball-milled powder mixture is analyzed by XRD and temperature programmed reduction method at various heating rates in Ar-10% $H_2$ atmosphere. The XRD analysis of the heat-treated powder at $300^{\circ}C$ shows Cu, $MoO_3$, and $Cu_2MoO_5$ phases. In contrast, the powder mixture heated at $400^{\circ}C$ is composed of Cu and $MoO_2$ phases. The hydrogen reduction kinetic is evaluated by the amount of peak shift with heating rates. The activation energies for the reduction, estimated by the slope of the Kissinger plot, are measured as 112.2 kJ/mol and 65.2 kJ/mol, depending on the reduction steps from CuO to Cu and from $MoO_3$ to $MoO_2$, respectively. The measured activation energy for the reduction of $MoO_3$ is explained by the effect of pre-reduced Cu particles. The powder mixture, hydrogen-reduced at $700^{\circ}C$, shows the dispersion of nano-sized Cu agglomerates on the surface of Mo powders.

The superconducting properties of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ with different content impurities of PbO and $BaPbO_3$ were studied. When the PbO was used as an additive in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, although the melting point could be reduced, the superconductivity became poor. From the XRD pattern of the sintered mixture of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and PbO it was known that there is a reaction between $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and PbO, and the product is $BaPbO_3$. In the process of the reaction the superconducting phase of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ was decreased and $BaPbO_3$ would be the main phase in the sample. Therefore, $BaPbO_3$ was chosen as the impurity additive for the comparative study. The single phase of $BaPbO_3$ was synthesized by the simple way from both mixtures of $BaCO_3$ and PbO, $BaCO_3$ and $PbO_2$. Different contents of $BaPbO_3$ (10%, 20%, 30%) were added in the $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$. By the Phase analysis in the XRD patterns it was proved that there was no reaction between $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and $BaPbO_3$. When $BaPbO_3$ was used as impurity in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ the superconductivity was much better than PbO as an impurity additive in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$.

We calculated a difference between the YBa$_2Cu _3O_{7-x}$ superconductor (123 system) of critical temperature, 95 K and the YBa$_2Cu_4 O_8$ superconductors (124 system) of critical temperature, 80 K in Y-system superconductors using Extended Huckel Theory (EHT). The valence electron population (VEP), reduced overlap population (ROP) and net charge for the charged cluster models relating to the layer and the chain in 123 and 124 systems were compared. The VEPs of Cu atom in the layer of 123 and 124 systems populated d$_{z^2}$ orbital more than d$_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital, and in the chain of 123 and 124 systems populated d$_{y^2-z^2}$ orbital more than d$_{z^2}$ orbital. The ROP of the Cu(1)-O(1) in the layer of 123 system was larger than the value of the Cu(1)-O(2), but the ROP of the Cu(1)-O(2) in the layer of 124 system was larger than the value of the Cu(1)-O(1). The ROP of Cu(2)-O(4) in the chain of 123 and 124 systems were larger than the value of the Cu(2)-O(3). In 123 system the net charge values of the Cu in the layer was larger than the value of the Cu in the chain. However, in 124 system the net charge value of the Cu in the chain was larger than the value in the layer.

본연구에서는 n-type 세라믹 초전도체인 Nd2-xCexCuO4상의 산소함량에 따른 \ulcorner기적저항의 변화를 고찰하고자 하였다. 일반적인 소결과 어닐링과정을 결쳐 제조된 Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x 시편을 여러 온도와 산소분압의 분위기하에서 어닐링시킴으로써 산소의 함유량이 다른 시편들을 준비하였고 각각의 시편의 산소함량은 TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis0에 의해 측정하였다. Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x시편의 전기적 저항 측정은 표준 4-탐침방법을 이용하여 액체헬륨을 주입시켜 상온으로부터 4K까지 측정하였다. Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x시편의 산소함량, 3.96$\leq$4-x$\leq$4.0의 범위에서 전기적저항을 측정한 결과 초전도특성이 나타나기 시작한 임계산소함량은 4-x=3.990이었고 이때의 임계온도 Tc=12K이었다. 또한 임계온도, Tc는 산소함량 4-x=3.96에서 24K로 측정되었다. 특이할 만한 현상은 CuO/Cu2O 열역학적 상전이가 일어나는 조건이 Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x 시편의 초전도가 일어나는 임계와 일치하였다. 즉, Cu2O가 안정한 영역에서는 초전도특성이 나타났고 CuO가 안정한 영역에서는 초전도특성이 나타나지 않았다.

The magnetron reactive sputtering was adopted to deposit CuO buffer layers on the polyimide surfaces for increasing the adhesion strength between Cu thin films and polyimide, varying $O_2$ gas flow rate from 1 to 5 sccm. The CuO oxide was formed through all the $O_2$ gas flow rates of 1 to 5 sccm, showing the highest value at the 3 sccm $O_2$ gas flow rate. The XPS analysis revealed that the $Cu_2O$ oxide was also formed with a significant ratio during the reactive sputtering. The adhesion strength is mainly dependent on the amount of CuO in the buffer layers, which can react with C-O-C or C-N bonds on the polyimide surfaces. The adhesion strength of the multi-layered Cu/buffer layer/polyimide specimen decreased linearly as the heating temperature increased to $300^{\circ}C$, even though there showd no significant change in the chemical state at the polyimide interface. This result is attributed to the decrease in surface roughness of deposited copper oxide on the polyimide, when it is heated.

Microstructure and permeability as a function of sintering temperature and composition were studied on the Ni$\delta$Cu0.4-$\delta$Zn0.6Fe2O4 ($\delta$=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) which was prepared by Cu2+ substitution for Ni2+ in Ni.0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, then followed by 8 wt% CuO and 1wt% Bi2O3 as sintering aids. It was found that NiCuZn ferrite in which Cu2+ is substituted for Ni2+ is more effective in reduction of sintering temperature than Ni.0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, containing CuO as a sintering aid. The specimen $\delta$=0.2 sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr exhibited the highest initial permeability value ($\mu$o=280 at 1Mhz), but the real permeability decreased at the frequency under 10 MHz. EPMA analysis showed that Ni$\delta$Cu0.4-$\delta$Zn0.6Fe2O4 ($\delta$=0.4), sintered at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs consisted of three phase regions of Ni.0.3Cu0.1Zn0.6Fe2O4 region, Cu and Bi liquid existed at the 3-point boundary, although the stabilization energy of Ni2+ is higher than that of Cu2+ in B site.

Glasses in he system CuO-P$_2$O$_{5}$ -Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ -Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ -V$_2$O$_{5}$ were prepared by a press-quenching method on the copper plate. the glass-ceramics from these glasses were obtained by post-heat treatment, and the crystallization behavior and DC conductivities were determined. The conductivities of the glasses were range from 10$^{-6}$ s.$cm^{-1}$ / at room temperature ,but the conductivities of the glass-ceramics were 10$^{-3}$ s.$cm^{-1}$ / increased by 10$^3$ order. The crystalline product in the glass-ceramics was CuV$_2$O$_{6}$ . the crystal growth of CuV$_2$O$_{6}$ phase increased with heat-treatment conditions. The linear relationship between il($\sigma$T) and T$^{-1}$ suggested that the electrical conduction in the present glass-ceramics would be due to a small polaron hopping(SPH) mechanism.

This study investigated the effects of six metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs: CuO, NiO, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄, ZnO) on seed germination and germination index (G.I) for five types of seeds: Brassica napus L., Malva verticillata L., Brassica olercea L., Brassica campestris L., Daucus carota L. NPs of CuO, ZnO, NiO show significant toxicity impacts on seed activities [CuO (6-27 mg/L), ZnO (16-86 mg/L), NiO (48-112 mg/L)], while no significant effects were observed at > 1000 mg/L of TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄. Tested five types of seed showed different sensitivities on seed germination and root activity, especially on NPs of CuO, ZnO, NiO. Malva verticillata L. seed was highly sensitive to toxic metal oxide NPs and showed following EC₅₀s : CuO 5.5 mg/L, ZnO 16.4 mg/L, NiO 53.4 mg/L. Mostly following order of toxicity was observed, CuO > ZnO > NiO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂, where slightly different toxicity order was observed for carrot, showing CuO > NiO ≈ ZnO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂.
