In this study we investigate the electronic structure and magnetism of transition metal (TM = Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Ag ) deped ZnO($TM_{0.25}Zn_{0.75}O$), which are expected to have Curie temperature. Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave(FLAPW) metod is adopted with exchange-correlation potential expressed as general gradient approximation(GGA). The calculated magnetic moments of ($TM_{0.25}Zn_{0.75}O$) are 0.83, 3.03, 4.03, 3.48, 2.47, 1.56, 0.43, 0.75, 0.01 ${\mu}_B$ for TM = Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Ag, respectively. The nearest neighbor O atom to the transition metal is calculated to have a significant magnetic moment of about 0.1${\mu}_B$, ?? 새 strong hybridization between O-p and TM-d bands. As the results, the systems may have larger magnetic moments in total, compared to the corresponding isolated atoms. The 3d TM doped systems exhibit the half-metallic character except Co, wheres the 4d TM doped systems behave like normal metals and low spin polarization at the Fermi levels.

Cerium doped anatase titania powders were prepared by sol-gel process, with ammonium (IV) nitrate and Titanium (IV) butoxide as the raw materials. The characteristics of anatase $TiO_2$ and cerium doped $TiO_2$ were investigated by XRD, DTA, FE-SEM and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Research results indicated that XRD data characteristic diffraction peaks of anatase phase and also showed that cerium phase was not observed. Moreover XRD and DTA results imply that the addition of cerium to titania modifies the mechanism of formation of the titania phases.

최근 Y. Masumoto[1]등에 의하여 Co가 도핑된 anatase 구조의 TiO$_2$ 물질에서 상온 강자성 현상이 보고된 이후, 이에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 다른 연구 그룹들에 의해 실험적으로 상온 강자성을 성공하였다는 보고[2,3]가 있으나 현재 그 메커니즘에 대하여 명확한 해석이 되어있지 않고 있기 때문에 이것이 정말 자성반도체의 성질인지 아니면 clustering에 의한 것인지 아직 확실히 밝혀져 있지는 않다. (중략)

The effects of co-doping with complex dopants of softeners, $La^{+3}$ and/or $Nb^{+5}$, and a hardener, $Fe^{+3}$, on the microstructural and piezoelectric properties of PZT ceramics with a composition of a rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary, $PbZr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47}O_3$, were investigated. Unlike single-element doping, the complex doping of both the softener and hardener ions led to various compensation effects for the piezoelectric properties of the PZT ceramics. For 0.5 wt.% $La_2O_3$ softener and/or 0.5 wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ doped compositions, there were apparent hardener doping (compensation) effects for an addition of over 1.0 wt.% $Fe_2O_3$. For the $La_2O_3$ and/or $Nb_2O_5$ doped composition, the co-dopant $Fe_2O_3$ addition led to lower kp and $\varepsilon$r, and increased $Q_m$ values. The prepared PZT ceramics modified with complex soft dopants, $La^{+3}$ and $Nb^+$, as well as a hard dopant, $Fe^{+3}$, showed that the piezoelectric properties were stable with the compositional variations, which made it possible to establish piezoelectric performances with higher reliability and reproducibility. The most improved piezoelectric properties of enhanced $Q_m$ with $\varepsilon_r$ remaining higher $k_p$, were obtained in the PZT composition complexly doped with $La^{+3}$ and $Fe^{+3}$. From the results obtained in this study, the properties of compositionally modified PZT ceramics can also be tailored over a wider range by changing the dopant compositions to meet the specific requirements for underwater or other applications.

High-power piezoelectric materials are being developed for applications such as actuators and ultrasonic motors. In this paper, ferroelectric property of iron-doped 0.57 (Sc$_{1}$2//Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_3$-0.43 PbTiO$_3$. which is the morphotropic phase boundary composition for the PSN-PT system, was investigated. The maximum dielectric constant ( $\varepsilon$$_{33}$/$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ = 2551) and the minimum dielectric loss(tan $\delta$ = 0.51 %) at room temperature were obtained at 01. wt% and 0.3 wt% of iron additions. With additions of the Fe$_2$O$_3$ the electromechanical coupling factor of radial mode k$_{p}$ and the piezoelectric coefficient d$_{33}$ were slightly decreased, on the other hand the mechanical quality factor was increased significantly. The highest mechanical quality factor (Qm= 297) was obtained at 0.3 wt% Fe$_2$O$_3$, which is 4.4 times larger than that of pure 0.57 PSN-0.43PT ceramics. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectic loss was observed between 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 35$0^{\circ}C$ .X> .X> .

$Ti_{1-x}$$^{57}$ F $e_{x}$ $O_2$(0.0$\leq$x$\leq$0.07) compounds were fabricated using the sol-gel method, and the crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated as a function of doped $^{57}$ Fe concentration. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a pure anatase single phase, without any segregation of Fe into particulate. With varying $^{57}$ Fe concentration, we could observe unusual magnetic phenomena in these materials. Doping $^{57}$ Fe into the Ti $O_2$ nonmagnetic semiconductor formed magnetic properties, but the gradual increase of $^{57}$ Fe concentration decreased rapidly the ferromagnetic properties rather than enhanced the ferromagnetic properties. Obvious ferromagnetic behavior was shown for the samples with x$\leq$0.01, while paramagnetic behavior was shown for the sample with x$\geq$0.03. These phenomena could be verified using Mossbauer measurement. Separation of the ferromagnetic phase (sextet) and the paramagnetic phase (doublet) of the samples with different $^{57}$ Fe concentration was characterized. Samples with x$\leq$0.01 have sextet and doublet simultaneously, but samples with x$\geq$0.03 have only doublet at room temperature. This indicates that the sample x$\leq$0.01 have the ferromagnetic phase at room temperature. This result corresponded with the M-H loops referenced above and reveals an interesting feature that there is a critical limit of $^{57}$ Fe concentration (0.01$\leq$0.01 samples was fundamentally attributable to the paramagnetic phase as well as the ferromagnetic phase.e.

We have evaluated the ferroelectric and electrical properties of pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and $Bi_{0.9}A_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (A=Nd, Tb) thin films on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by using a chemical solution deposition method. The remnant polarization ($2P_r$) of the $Bi_{0.9}Tb_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BTFVO) thin film was approximately $65{\mu}C/cm^2$, with a maximum applied electric field of 950 kV/cm and a frequency of 10 kHz, where as that of the $Bi_{0.9}Nd_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BNFVO) thin film was approximately $37{\mu}C/cm^2$ with a maximum applied electric field of 910 kV/cm. The leakage current density of the co-doped BNFVO thin film was four orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure BFO thin film, at $2.75{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ with an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. The grain size and uniformity of the co-doped BNFVO and BTFVO thin films were improved, in comparison to the pure BFO thin film, through structural modificationsdue to the co-doping with Nd and Tb.

The effect of Fe and BO₃ doping on structure, thermal, and electrical properties of Li_1+xFe_xTi_2-x(PO₄)_3-y(BO₃)_y (x = 0.2, 0.5)-based glass and glass ceramics was investigated. In addition, their crystallization behavior during sintering and ionic conductivity were also investigated in terms of sintering temperature. FT-IR and XPS results indicated that Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions in Li_1+xFe_xTi_2-x(PO₄)_3-y(BO₃)_y glass worked as a network modifier (FeO₆ octahedra) and also as a network former (FeO₄ tetrahedra). In the case of the glass with low substitution of BO₃, boron formed (PB)O₄ network structure, while boron preferred BO₃ triangles or B₃O₃ boroxol rings with increasing the BO₃ content owing to boic oxide anomaly, which can result in an increased non-bridging oxygen. The glass transition temperature (GTT) and crystallization temperature (CT) was lowered as the BO₃ substitution was increased, while Fe²⁺ lowered the GTT and raised the CT. The ionic conductivity of Li_1+xFe_xTi_2-x(PO₄)_3-y(BO₃)_y glass ceramics were 8.85×10^-4 and 1.38×10^-4S/cm for x = 0.2 and 0.5, respectively. The oxidation state of doped Fe and boric oxide anomaly were due to the enhanced lithium ion conductivity of glass ceramics.

In order to get low cost and portability, semiconductor gas sensor need to have low operating temperature and high sensitivity. $Fe_2O_3$ based sensors which were doped with metal oxide catalysts($MoO_3$, $V_2O_5$, $TiO_2$, and CdO) were fabricated by screen printing method. To improve electrical stability of sensors, the $Fe_2O_3$ sensors were annealed in $N_2$ at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The $V_2O_5$ doped $Fe_2O_3$ sensor showed about $80{\sim}90%$ sensitivity at alcohol 1,000 ppm and have good selectivity to hydrocarbon gas and tobacco odors. The fabricated sensor and PIC-chip were employed for portable alarm system.
