We have investigated the behavior induced by Ga substitution in B-1212 system and observed an anomalous superconductor-like resistivity drop with an onset near 260 K and an offset at 248 K in the nominal (B_0.65Ga_0.35)(Ba_1.25Sr_0.75)(Er_0.5Ca_0.5)Cu₂O_z compound. However, this property degraded with repeated cycling. Systematic studies of the superconducting properties of the (B_1-xGa_x)(Ba_1.25Sr_0.75)(Er_0.5Ca_0.5)Cu₂O_z compounds are reported and discussed in the context of the anomalous resistivity transition.

The Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy can hardly be disproportionated under ordinary HDDR condition. The HDDR characteristics of Ga-substituted $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy were examined, and, in particular, the effect of particle size on the disproportionation of the Ga-substituted alloy was investigated in detail. The reaction characteristics of the $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloys with or without Ga-substitution with methane (CH4) gas are also examined. The Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy was able to be disproportionated significantly on heating up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ under hydrogen with normal pressure. The particle size influenced significantly on the disproportion-ation of the Ga-substitute alloy, and the materials with finer particle size (<40 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) was fully disproportionated on heating up to around 80$0^{\circ}C$ under hydrogen gas with normal pressure. The Ga-substituted alloy has a very sluggish recombination kinetics with respect to the alloy without Ga-substitution. The $Sm_2Fe_{17}C_{x-}$type carbide was stabilised significantly by the Ga-substitution for Fe in the parent alloy. While the $Sm_2Fe_{17}C_x$ was disproportionated below 80$0^{\circ}C$ the Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{14}Ga_2C_x$ carbide remained intact even on heating up to 80$0^{\circ}C$.

Structural and electronic properties of bulk GaN with nitrogen vacancy($V_N$), oxygen substitution on nitrogen site($O_N$), and complex of nitrogen vacancy and oxygen substitution on nitrogen site($V_N-O_N$) were investigated using the first principle calculations. It was found that stability of defect formation is dependent on the epilayer growth conditions. The complex of $V_N-O_N$ is energetically the most favorable state in a condition of Ga-rich, however, oxygen substitution in nitrogen site is the most favorable state in N-rich condition. The electronic property of complex with negative charge states at $\Gamma$ point was changed from semiconductor to metal. On the contrary, the properties of nitrogen vacancy except for neutral charge state have shown the semiconductor characteristics at $\Gamma$ point. In the oxygen substitution on nitrogen site, the energy differences between conduction band minimum and Fermi level were smaller than that of defect-free GaN.

We report the cathodoluminescence and aging properties of a series of green phosphors of formula $Sr_{1-x}M_xGa_2S_4$:Eu (x = 0.0-1.0, M = Ba or Ca) that have potential applications in field emission displays (FEDs). The series of phosphors was synthesized via NaBr-aided solid-state reactions in a flowing $H_2S$ stream. A low level ($\sim$20%) of Ba or Ca substitution for Sr in $SrGa_2S_4$:Eu maintains the orthorhombic phase of pure $SrGa_2S_4$:Eu phosphors. Further, a low level ($\sim$20%) of Ba or Ca substitution for Sr in $SrGa_2S_4$:Eu provides various green colors and sufficient brightness for FED applications. Substitution of Ba or Ca for Sr in $SrGa_2S_4$:Eu also improved the stability of the phosphor when it was operated under electron-beam irradiation of 5 kV.

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of ;$LaFe_{1-x}Ga_xO_3$($\chi$= 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) were studied using XRD and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structures were found to be orthorhombic and the lattice parameters $\alpha$, b, and c were found to decrease with increasing Ga substitution. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra were obtained at various absorber temperatures ranging from 20 K to 750 K. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra were all sextets below $T_N$ and were all singlets above $T_N$. Asymmetric broadening of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectral lines at 20 K was explained by the multitude of possible environments for an iron nucleus. As the temperature increases to $T_N$, a systematic line broadening in M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra was observed and interpreted to originate from different temperature dependencies of the magnetic hyperfine fields at various iron sites.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new solid solution type ferrite $(Fe_2O_3)_5-(Al_2O_3)_{3.4}-(Ga_2O_3)_{0.6}-SiO$ were investigated using X-ray diffraction and M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The results of the X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the crystal structure of the sample appears to be a cubic spinel type structure. The lattice constant (a = 8.317 ${\AA}$) decreases slightly with the substitution of $Ga_2O_3$ even though the ionic radii of the Ga ions are larger than that of the Al ions. The results can be attributed to a higher degree of covalency in the Ga-O bonds than in the Al-O and Fe-O bonds, which can also be explained using the observed M$\"{o}$ssbauer parameters, which are the magnetic hyperfine field, isomer shift, and quadrupole splitting. The drastic change in the magnetic structure according to the Ga ion substitution in the $ (Fe_2O_3)_5(Al_2O_3)_{4-x}(Ga_2O_3)_xSiO$ system and the low temperature variation have been studied through a M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectrum at room temperature shows the superpositions of two Zeeman patterns and a strong doublet. It shows significant departures from the prototypical ferrite and is comparable with the diluted ferrite. The doublet of spectrum at room temperature appears to originate from superparamagnetic clusters and also the asymmetry of the doublet appears to be caused by the preferred orientation of the crystallites. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectra below room temperature show various complicated patterns, which can be explained by the freezing of the superparamagnetic clusters. On cooling, the magnetic states of the sample were various and multi critical.

The effect of biotin and biotin vitamer on the fermentative production of L-glutamic acid (L-GA) by Brevibacterium flavum was studied. And results were as follows. 1) L-GA production in the medium containing 10％ Glucose was the best at the concentration of Biotin 5${\gamma}$/l, Desthiobiotin 5${\gamma}$/1, and 7,8-Diaminopelargonic acid 10${\gamma}$/1, respectively. 2) In the experiment using the Glucose-Acetate mixed media derided into four parts, considerable amounts of cell growth and L-GA production were observed in the mixed medium containing 2％ Glucose-Acetate. 3) In the cases of using the media containing methanol, ethanol, ethylacetate, acetic acid (free acetate), Na-acetate:NH$_4$-acetate=2 : 1, the production of L-GA were in decreasing order as follows; Na-Acetate:NH-Acetate=2 : 1> Acetic acid (free acetate)> Ethylacetate> Ethanol＞ Methanol. 4) When biotin vitamers as growth factors were added in the medium containing Glucose or Acetate as the source of carbon, the substitution effect of Desthiobiotin was almost the same, 7,8-Diaminopelargonic acid 3 or 4 times stronger, and Bisnorbiotin has no substitution effect, compared with Biotin.

The control of Ga doping in ZnO nanowires (NWs) by physical vapor deposition has been implemented and characterized. Various Ga-doped ZnO NWs were grown using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method, with Au catalyst on c-plane sapphire substrate by hot-walled pulsed laser deposition (HW-PLD), one of the physical vapor deposition methods. The structural, optical and electrical properties of Ga-doped ZnO NWs have been systematically analyzed, by changing Ga concentration in ZnO NWs. We observed stacking faults and different crystalline directions caused by increasing Ga concentration in ZnO NWs, using SEM and HR-TEM. A $D^0X$ peak in the PL spectra of Ga doped ZnO NWs that is sharper than that of pure ZnO NWs has been clearly observed, which indicated the substitution of Ga for Zn. The electrical properties of controlled Ga-doped ZnO NWs have been measured, and show that the conductance of ZnO NWs increased up to 3 wt% Ga doping. However, the conductance of 5 wt% Ga doped ZnO NWs decreased, because the mean free path was decreased, according to the increase of carrier concentration. This control of the structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO NWs by doping, could provide the possibility of the fabrication of various nanowire based electronic devices, such as nano-FETs, nano-inverters, nano-logic circuits and customized nano-sensors.

In order to consider the change of the magnetic anisotropy energy by the Al or Ga substitution for Fe, spin reorientation temperature $T_{SR}$ and Curie temperature $T_{c}$ in $R_{2}Fe_{17-x}M_{x}$ (R=Er, Tm, M=Al, Ga) have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. As a result, $T_{SR}$ and $T_{c}$ for $R_{2}Fe_{17-x}M_{x}$ shift toward higher temperature side with x ($0{\leq}x{\leq}2.0$). The ${\Delta}T_{c}$ the difference of the $T_{c}'s$ between $Er_{2}Fe_{17-x}Al_{x}$ and $Tm_{2}Fe_{17-x}Al_{x}$, is always about 10 K independent of Al-content. But in the case of Ga substitution, the ${\Delta}T_{c}$ increases with Ga-content ; especially, the ${\Delta}T_{c}$ for x=2.0 is 43 K. This value of the ${\Delta}T_{c}$ is not explained by only the difference of the de Gennes fator G between $Er^{3+}$ and $Tm^{3+}$, but it is thought that the values of $J_{ErFe}$ and $J_{TmFe}$ themselves are not equal.
