A series of superconducting Hg$Ba_{2}$Cu$O_{4+7}$ materials, containing $Ag_{x}$ additions with molar fraction x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5, have been studied. This study has showed that Ag additions lead to changes in superconducting properties of Hg-1201 materials. In addition, according to the amount of $Ag_{x}$ additions with molar fraction x up to 0.5, both $T_{c}$ and $J_{c}$ of Hg-1201 materials generally decrease with Ag-content. These and other results are discussed in this paper.

We report results of a comparative study of the normal-state and superconducting properties in the GdBa$_2$(Cu$_{2.9}$Al$_{0.1}$)O$_z$ system with substitutions by Pr for the Gd and Ba sites. It is observed that, fur both Pr-doped systems, the superconducting transition temperature(T$_c$) decreases almost linearly with the Pr-content, but Pr at Ba sites results in a faster T$_c$ drop than that of Pr at Gd sites. The thermoelectric power measurements indicate that there is a strong correlation between the T$_c$ and the room temperature value of thermoelectric power. The experimental results are discussed in connection with existing models.

The effect of Ba substitution for Sr on the lattice parameters and the temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power and electrical resistivity has been investigated for Y(Sr$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$)Cu$_{2.7}$Mo$_{0.3}$O$_z$ (x=0${\sim}$2.0). Both a and c lattice parameters increase as the Ba content, x increases. The correlation between Tc and the carrier concentration estimated from the thermoelectric power data indicates that the change of hole concentration is negligible for x ${\le}$ 1.0 in contrast to the large change for x > 1.

Microstructure of the bell made with Cu-Sn alloys was examined by optical and scanning electron microscope and that analyzed quantitatively with image analyzer. Also acoustic characteristics of the bells were measured in detail by using FFT type power spectrum analyzer. ${\alpha}-single$ phases of large grains only were observed in Cu-5%Sn alloy. However mixed structure of primary ${\alpha}-phase$ and eutectoid of ${\alpha}+{\delta}%_o$ was existed in the Cu-Sn alloys with more than 9%Sn. Also the area fraction of eutectoid phases gradually increased with an increased Sn content. From the result of acoustic test, it was found that frequency and tonal intensity decreased with the increased Sn content from 5%Sn to 11%Sn, and those were rather increased with further increase of that. The lowest frequency and tonal intensity were showed in Cu-11%Sn, and porosity decreased considerably frequency and tonal intensity of the bells.

Two different anode composite materials comprising of Fe, Cu and Si prepared using high energy ball milling (HEBM) were explored for their capacity and cycling behaviors. Prepared powder composites in the ratio Cu:Fe:Si = 1:1:2.5 and 1:1:3.5 were characterized through X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nevertheless, the XRD shows absence of any new alloy/compound formation upon ball milling, the elements present in Cu(1)Fe(1)Si(2.5)/Graphite composite along with insito generated Li2O demonstrate a superior anodic behavior and delivers a reversible capacity of 340 mAh/g with a high coulombic efficiency (98%). The higher silicon content Cu(1)Fe(1)Si(3.5) along with graphite could not sustain capacity with cycling possibly due to ineffective buffer action of the anode constituents.

The effects of Pr doping on structural and superconducting properties of (Pb$_{0.5}$V$_{0.5}$)Sr$_2$(Ca$_{1-x}$Pr$_x$)Cu$_2$O$_z$ have been studied. We have observed systematic variation of lattice parameters with increasing Pr content. A maximum Tc of about40 K has been observed in this system. The correlation between the crystal structure and superconductivity has been addressed.

The $CeO_2$-added Y-Ba-Cu-O oxides were prepared by the partial melt process involving the peritectic reaction, liquid + 2-1-1 phase ${\rightarrow}$ 1-2-3 phase, to investigate the effect of the dopant on microstructure and superconductivity. During the peritec reaction, all the added $CeO_2$ was converted to $BaCeO_3$ particles which were finely dispersed in large 1-2-3 grains. Superconducting transition temperature($T_{c}R=0$ point) of the partial-melted samples was as high as 90K regardless of $CeO_2$ content up to 5wt%, which is owing to the separation of the second phase from the 1-2-3 superconducting phase.

Modified inert gas condensation method was used to produce the nanocluster composites of $CuO/CeO_2$. High-resolution TEM, SEM and catalytic measurements have been used to characterize the samples and study the synergistic effect between the CuO phase and $CeO_2$(ceria) support. By varying the He pressure, the heating temperature and configuration of the heating boats inside the modified gas condensation chamber, nanoclusters of varying sizes, shapes and composition can be produced. The composition and nanostructured morphology were shown to influence the catalytic properties of the system. A copper content around 10 at% with a morphology that favors high-energy surfaces of ceria is shown to be beneficial for a high catalytic activity.

Ceramic pigments were developed by using 4 kinds of Brass scraps. Each Brass scraps were mixed with same weight-ratio of Husk ash, and fine-ground by Rotate ring mill(RRG-120, Armstech industrial. co. Ltd, Korea) after firing at $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. As a result, analysis of particle size of synthetic pigments by particle size analyser, they are $3{\mu}m$ as average. The resulting pigments were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM Structure of the crystals are Zn2SiO4,, and ZnO, Cu2O, CuO, and cristobalite are existed and particles' shape are plate or needle. As a result of analysis of chemical composition by XRF, synthetic pigments have high SiO2 and CuO content and have SnO2, ZnO and NiO, too. 1wt%, 3wt% and 5wt% pigments were added in each lime glaze, lime-barium glaze and lime-magnesia glaze, and fired at oxidation and reducing atmosphere to figure hue in glazes out. As a result of analysis of color, chroma and brightness by UV, colors of glazes fired at oxidation atmosphere turned into green from sky blue, and colors of glazes fired at reducing atmosphere turned into pink and red.
