Samples with the nominal composition, B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{\delta}}$ high- $T_{c}$ superconductors containing MgO as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with MgO of 5~30 wt% each were sintered at 820~86$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The structural characteristics, critical temperature, grain size and image of mapping with respect to MgO contents were analyzed by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS(Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer) respectively. As MgO contents increased, intensity of MgO Peaks and ratio of Bi-2212 phase in superconductors intensified and the proportion of the phase transition from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 was increased.

The hydroxyapatite with different amounts of strontium was synthesized with wet chemical technique. The structural, morphological and chemical characterizations for the prepared hydroxyapatite with various strontium amounts were carried out with XRD, SEM, EDS, and FT-IR. Strontium is quantitatively incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium provokes a well distribution in the EDS mapping and a linear shift of the infrared absorption bands of the hydroxyl and phosphate groups, coherent with the greater ionic radius of strontium.

$Bi_{1.84}Pb_{0.34}Sr_{1.91}Ca_{2.03}Cu_{3.06}O_{10+\delta}$ high $T_{c}$ superconductors containing Ag as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. The superconducting properties, such as the structural characteristics, the critical temperatures, the grain size and the image of mapping on the surface were investigated. Samples with Ag and Au of 50 wt% each were sintered at various temperature(820~$850^{\circ}C$). The structural characteristics, the microstructure of surface and the critical temperature with respect to the each samples were analyzed by XRD and SEM, EDS and four-prove methode respectively. The critical temperature showed the result which the Ag additive samples are higher than Au additive samples. The microstructure of the surface showed the tendency which the Ag additive samples become more minuteness than Au additive samples.

Zinc oxysulfide nanocrystals (ZnOS NCs) were synthesized by forming ZnS phase on a ZnO matrix. ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) with a diameter of 10 nm were synthesized by forced hydrolysis in an organic solvent. As-synthesized ZnO NCs aggregated with each other due to the high surface energy. As acetic acid (AA) was added into the milky suspension of the aggregated ZnO NCs, transparent solution of well dispersed ZnO NCs formed. Finally ZnOS NCs were formed by adding thioacetic acid (TAA) to the transparent solution. The effect of recrystallization on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnOS NCs were studied. The results of UV-vis absorption confirmed the band gap tunability caused by increasing the curing temperature of ZnOS thin films. This may have originated from the larger effective size due to the recrystallization of zinc sulfide (ZnS). From XRD result we identified that ZnOS thin films have a zinc blende crystal structure of ZnS without wurtzite ZnO structure. This is probably due to the small amount of ZnO phases. These assertions were verified through EDS of FE-SEM, XPS and EDS mapping of HR-TEM results; we clearly proved that ZnOS were comprised of ZnS and ZnO phases.

The production techniques of a gilt-bronze buckle which was presumably a product of the Koryo dynasty were investigated. The X-ray area map indicates that the gilt layer was made by gilt-bronze method. EDS analysis shows that the gilt layer contains copper as well as gold. The microstructure of a textile adhered to the back of the buckle reveals that the material is woven hemp. Triangular and semicircular chisels were used to engrave patterns. After the boundaries of the patterns were engraved with triangular chisels the internal regions were carved with semicircular patterns. The procedure and the shape of the chisels were also investigated.

Copper is a well know material for use as heat sink or heat exchanger. However, copper has a considerable low tensile strength and temperature limit. A material that has a good thermal conductivity, low cost, but also excellent mechanical properties are desired. In order to identify the mechanism for the material properties of cast Cu-Fe alloys, $Cu_{50}-Fe_{50}$ (wt.%) alloy was produced by using a high-frequency induction furnace, a typical metal casting process. The Cu-Fe alloy consists of Cu, ${\alpha}$-Fe, ${\gamma}$-Fe with dendrite structures. The crystal structure and microstructure of the prepared $Cu_{50}-Fe_{50}$ alloy were systematically examined using XRD, FE-SEM, EDS and XRF for electrical devices.

Using a customized diffusion bonder, we executed diffusion bonding for ring shaped white gold and red gold samples (inner, outer diameter, and thickness were 15.7, 18.7, and 3.0 mm, respectively) at a temperature of $780^{\circ}C$ and applied pressure of 2300 N in a vacuum of $5{\times}10^{-2}$ torr for 180 seconds. Optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to investigate the microstructure and compositional changes. The mechanical properties were confirmed by Vickers hardness and shear strength tests. Optical microscopy and FE-SEM confirmed the uniform bonding interface, which was without defects such as micro pores. EDS mapping analysis confirmed that each gold alloy was 14K with the intended composition; Ni and Cu was included as coloring metals in the white and red gold alloys, respectively. The effective diffusion coefficient was estimated based on EDS line scanning. Individual values of Ni and Cu were $5.0{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/s$ and $8.9{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/s$, respectively. These values were as large as those of the melting points due to the accelerated diffusion in this customized diffusion bonder. Vickers hardness results showed that the hardness values of white gold and red gold were 127.83 and 103.04, respectively, due to solid solution strengthening. In addition, the value at the interface indicated no formation of intermetallic compound around the bonding interface. From the shear strength test, the sample was found not to be destroyed at up to 100,000 gf due to the high bonding strength. Therefore, these results confirm the successful diffusion bonding of 14K white-red golds with a diffusion bonder at a low temperature of $780^{\circ}C$ and a short processing time of 180 seconds.

We report on the annealing effect and ferromagnetic characteristics of Zn$_{0.7}$Mn$_{0.3}$O film prepared by sol-gel method on the silicon (100) substrate using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry. Magnetic measurements show thatZn$_{0.7}$Mn$_{0.3}$O films exhibit ferromagnetism at 5 K revealing the coercive field of ∼110 Oe for as grown sample and 360, 1035 Oe for samples annealed at 700, 800 $^{\circ}C$, respectively. Our experimental evidence suggests that ferromagnetic precipitates of a manganese oxide may be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic behaviors of the film.he film.

The isothermal oxidation behaviour of commercial superalloys produced in Korea was investigated by using Cahn-2000 microbalance in air at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. The effect of alloying elements on the isothermal oxidation was studied by examination of the oxide structures, their morphologies, and EDS linescanning and mapping of cross-section of oxidized specimens. Generally, external Cr2O3 films were formed on all alloy surface, but were not pure, The effect on the oxidation behaviour of refractory elements such as Nb, Mo in Inconel 718 was considered to be deleterious, and the formation of internal Al oxide in Inconel 601 was beneficial.

The vacuum plasma coating was performed to analysis the characteristic and find the optimum process conditions for the vacuum plasma spray coating. It was observed that the square shape of powder in case of carbide ceramics does not fluidize well compared to the round shape of powder in case of oxide ceramics so that the plasma spraying is not uniform. The analysis through SEM and EDS mapping shows that the coatings represent excellent structural features with strong resistance against oxidation and satisfied result with vacuum plasma coating.
