Magnetic suspension effect has been studied by using superconductor of BiPbSrCaCuO ceramics containing Ag$_2$O. Magnetic flux measurements of a toroidal magnet revealed a concave shaped field distribution with a null field along the axis of the torus at the point where the field reversed. The suspension effect was observed only for the Ag$_2$O doped and field cooled sample which is attributed to the enhanced flux pinning due to the field cooled condition. It has been cleared that Ag$_2$O acts as pinning center which plays an important role to the magnetic suspension effect. Magnetic repulsive force which affects a superconductor located in magnetic flux from toroidal magnet has been investigated. It has been concluded that the magnetic suspension effect arises from the interaction between the pinning effect and the diamagnetic effect.

An inorganic electroluminescence device based on a green ZnS:(Cu,Al) phosphor was fabricated by a screen printing method. Graphene was added to the phosphor layer to increase the electroluminescence intensity. As the graphene concentration increased, the photoluminescence intensity decreased; on the other hand, the electroluminescence intensity increased, up to 0.6 wt%.

In many papers, the electrochemical analysis of LiMn$_2$O$_4$shows the transition results of Mn$^{3+}$ ion. Charge ordering is accompanied by simultaneous orbital ordering due to the Jahn-Teller effect in Mnl$^{3+}$ ions. To analyze the cycle performance of LiMn$_{2-x}$Cu$_{x}$ O$_4$as the cathode of 4 V class lithium secondary batteries, XRD, TGA analysis were conducted. Although the cycle performance of the LiMn$_{2-x}$Cu$_{x}$ O$_4$was improved from pure LiMn$_2$O$_4$, the discharge capacity was significantly lower than LiCoO$_2$. In this paper, We study the Electrochemical characterization and enhanced stability of Cu-doped spinels in the LiMn$_{2-x}$Cu$_{x}$ O$_4$upon initial cycling.l cycling.

The effect of Ca-doping on the superconducting properties of Nd-Ba-Cu-O bulk superconductors, fabricated by the oxygen-controlled melt growth process, has been systematically investigated. Various c-axis textured bulk samples were grown using precursors with the nominal compositions of $Nd_{1.8-x}Ca_{x]Ba_{2.4}Cu_{3.4}O_{y}$ (x= 0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) in a reduced oxygen atmosphere of 1%O$_2$ in Ar. Magnetization measurements revealed that the critical temperatures(Tc) were almost linearly depressed from 95K to 86K with increasing the Ca dopant from x : 0.0 to 0.15, respectively, and thus critical current densities(Jc) at 77K and for H//c-axis of specimens were gradually degraded with increasing x. Compositional analyses revealed that although the amounts of the Ca dopant both in $NdBa_2Cu_2O_y(Nd123) and Nd_4Ba_2Cu_2O_{10}(Nd422)$,/TEX> were increased with increasing x, only less than half of the initial Ca compositions were detected in melt-grown Ca-doped Nd-Ba-Cu-O bulk crystals. The supression of Tc is attributed to an increased Nd substitution for the Ba site in the Nd123 superconducting matrix with increasing the amount of the Ca dopant.

$La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ single-crystalline films were prepared on bulk single crystals of Zn-doped $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ as the substrates by LPE technique using two deferent methods. When prepared using an alumina crucible in normal electrical furnace, the $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ films were contaminated with less than 3 at% aluminum from the alumina crucibles. Aluminum contamination either reduced or completely destroyed the superconductivity of the $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ films, For LPE growth by modified TSFZ method using an infrared heating furnace without crucibles, the $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ films of x=0.11 showed superconducting with $Tc_{onset}=36\;K$, which is 10 K higher than that in the $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ bulk single crystals.

The SrS:CuCl TFEL devices were fabricated by electron-beam deposition and the luminescent characteristics of the fabricated SrS:CuCl TFEL devices were studied. The SrS powder was used as the host materials and 0.05 ~ 0.6 at% of CuCl powder was added as the luminescent center. The deposition conditions of substrate temperature, electron beam current, and deposition rate were 500 $^{\circ}C$ , 20 ~ 40 mA, and 5 ~ 10 /sec, respectively The total thickness of the phosphor layer deposited was 6000 . The blue emission at low CuCl concentrations was observed from the luminescent centers of monomer, dimer, trimer, and tetramer, The bright greenish blue emission at high CuCl concentrations was observed from the dimer and trimer luminescent centers. The maxium luminance was observed from the SrS:CuCl TFEL devices doped with 0.2 at% of CuCl concentration and the threshold voltage, luminance(L$_{40}$ ), efficiency(η$_{20}$) and CIE coordinate obtained were 55 V, 728 cd/$m^2$, 0.49 lm/w, and (0.21, 0.33), respectively..

In this paper, $Mn^{2+}$ ion was doped in Y-Ba-Cu-O as an EPR probe. The following samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method : $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.96}Mn_{0.04}O_{7-\delta}$ (MN-I), annealed $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.96}Mn_{0.04}O_{7-\delta}$ (AMN) and $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.94}Mn_{0.06}O_{7-\delta}$ (MN-II). AMN sample was obtained from MN-I by annealing for 1 hr under the Ar gas atmosphere at $600^{\circ}C$. X-band (~9.05 GHz) EPR spectra were measured from 103 K to room temperature by employing a JES-RE3X spectroscopy with a $TE_{0.11}$ cylindrical cavity and 100 kHz modulation frequency. In MN-I we have observed only the $Cu^{2+}$ signal. The fact that no $Mn^{2+}$ signal was observed, in spite of $Mn^{2+}$ being a very sensitive EPR probe, indicates that most likely isolated $Mn^{2+}$ ions don't exist in the MN-I sample. Most probably $Mn^{2+}$ ions in the MN-I sample interact antiferromagnetically and hence are EPR silent. The AMN spectra of at room temperature and 103 K indicate not only the $Cu^{2+}$ signal but also an extra signal, which increases with decreasing temperature. It is suggested that the extra signal originates from Mn ions that were antiferromagnetically coupled before the annealing process. In MN-II, from 103 K to room temperature, also, the extra signal was observed together with the $Cu^{2+}$ signal. The extra signal in MN-II, however, decreases with decreasing temperature and nearly disappears at 103 K. The signal originates from Mn ions in impurity phases that include $Mn^{2+}$ ions. We suppose that there exist at least two $Mn^{2+}$ doped phases in Y-Ba-Cu-O. The $Mn^{2+}$ signal of one phase is undectable at all temperature and that of another phase decreases with decreasing temperature and disappears around 103 K.

In this study, pure $BiVO_4$ powder and metal-doped $M-BiVO_4$ (M = Mg, Cu) powder, well known as thermochromic materials, were prepared from a mixed aqueous solution of bismuth nitrate ($Bi(NO_3)_3$) and ammonium vanadate ($NH_4VO_3$) in autoclave by hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, microstructure, and thermochromic property of samples were analyzed using FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD, DSC, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and colorimeter. When heating samples above phase transition temperature, the color of $M-BiVO_4$ (M = Mg, Cu) sample was thermally changed more clearly than that of using only pure $BiVO_4$ sample.

The structural change and the electrical conductivity with Sr content in $La_{1-x}Sr_xMn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_3$ (LSMCu) were studied. $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}MnO_3$ (LSM) and $La_{1-x}Sr_xMn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_3$ ($0.1{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$) were synthesized by EDTA citric complexing process (ECCP). A decrease in the lattice parameters and lattice volumes was observed with increase of Sr content, and these results were attributed to the increasing $Mn^{4+}$ ions and $Cu^{3+}$ ions in B-site. The electrical conductivity measured from $500^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ was increased with increase of Sr content in the $0.1{\leq}x{\leq}0.3$ composition range, and it was 172.6 S/cm (at $750^{\circ}C$) and 177.7 S/cm (at $950^{\circ}C$, the maximum value) in x = 0.3. The electrical conductivity was decreased in x = 0.4 because of the presence of the second phase in the grain boundaries. The lattice volume was contracted by increase of $Mn^{4+}$ ions and $Cu^{3+}$ ions in B-site according to increase of Sr content and the electrical conductivity was increased with increase of charge carriers which were involved in the hopping mechanism.
