The purpose of this study is to find out optimum conditions for zinc crystalline glaze under variables of firing: maximum firing temperature, crystal growth temperature, temperature increasing speed, annealing speed, holding time at maximum temperature and holding time at crystal growth temperature. Ferro Frit3110, ZnO and Quartz were used as starting materials and tested by three component system. The best result of test was selected and extended to its vicinity as five glaze formulas. And then the specimens were experimented by variable firing conditions and analyzed by crystal appearance observation, XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. In result, main crystal was willemite in the zinc glazes. Some gahnite was detected in specimens which were fired at $1230^{\circ}C$, $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1270^{\circ}C$, however gahnite was not identified at $1300^{\circ}C$. Optimum zinc crystalline glaze was gained by following firing condition: temperature increasing speed $5^{\circ}C$/min, holding 1 h at $1270^{\circ}C$, annealing speed $3^{\circ}C$/min till $1170^{\circ}C$, holding 2 h at $1170^{\circ}C$ then naturally annealed.

The Cannington Ag-Pb-Zn deposit, northwest Queensland, Australia developed around the host rocks composing banded and migmatitic gneisses, sillimanite-garnet schist and amphibolite. Three crystal habits of sillimanite, gahnite (Zn-spinel) and garnet porphyroblasts occurred on the host rocks of the Cannington deposit could be used to delineate metamorphism that closely associated with Zn-mineralization in the deposit. Linkages the metamorphism to Zinc-mineralization is determined in four chemical systems, KFMASH (K$_2$O-FeO-MgO-Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$-$H_2O$), KFMASHTO (K$_2$O-FeO-MgO-Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$-$H_2O$-TiO$_2$-Fe$_2$O$_3$), NCKFMASH (Na$_2$O-CaO-K$_2$O-FeO-MgO-AlO$_3$-SiO$_2$-$H_2O$) and MnNCK-FMASH (MnO-Na$_2$O-CaO-K$_2$O-FeO-MgO-AlO$_3$-SiO$_2$-$H_2O$), using THERMOCALC program (version 3.1; Powell and Holland 1988). Partial melting in MnNCKFMASH and NCKFMASH systems occurs at lower temperature than in the KFMASH and KFMASHTO systems. The partial melting temperature decreases with increasing of Na/(Na+Ca+K) of the bulk rock compositions in the MnNCKFMASH system. The host rocks have melted ca 15 vol.% in the MnNCKFMASH system at peak metamorphic conditions (634$\pm$62$^{\circ}C$ and 4.8$\pm$1.3 kbar), but partial melting have not occurred in KFMASHTO system. Based on calculations of sillimanite isograd in different systems and sillimanite modal pro-portion, prismatic and rhombic sillimanite and gahnite porphyroblasts including prismatic sillimanite inclusion probably have resulted from pressure and temperature increasing through partial melting (from 550～$600^{\circ}C$, 2.0～3.0 kbar to 700～75$0^{\circ}C$, 5.0～7.0 kbar), furthermore have experienced N-S then W-E crustal shortening during D$_1$ and D$_2$ deformation. Consequently, Zinc mineralization related to gahnite growth occurred during D$_2$ and was redistributed and upgraded by partial melting and retrograde metamorphism into structural and rheological sites during shearing in D$_3$.

LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramics)용 glass/ceramic 복합체를 제조하기 위해 4 종류의 borosilicate계 glass를 선정하고 filler로 $Al_2O_3$ ceramics를 filler 사용하여 30~50 vol% glass frit에 따른 소결 및 유전 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. Glass frit은 $SiO_2$와 $B_2O_3$ 함량비를 고정한 후 R(CaO, BaO, ZnO, $Bi_2O_3$)에 따라 유리 연화온도(Ts)와 함량이 소결에 미치는 영향 및 유전 특성 변화를 고찰한 결과, CaO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass의 경우 다량의 2 차상이 형성되었고, 이에 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 완전 소결이 이루어지지 않았으며, BaO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 celsian($BaAl_2Si_2O_8$) 결정이 형성되면서 소결성의 저하를 갖고 왔으며, ZnO-$B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 소결이 진행됨에 따라 주상이 $Al_2O_3$에서 gahnite($ZnAl_2O_4$) 결정이 형성되면서 품질계수가 크게 증가하였으며, $Bi_2O_3-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass는 45 vol%일 때 $900^{\circ}C$에서부터 일정한 선수축율 특성을 나타내었지만, 다량의 액상으로 인하여 유전 특성의 저하를 나타내었다.

Crystallizable glasses with precipitation of celsian, anorthite, wollastonite and gahnite were prepared for the purpose of insulating dielectric layers in devices such as integrated circuit substrates. The starting glasses were prepared by melting the batches for 1 hour at 1450.deg. C and then Quenching to a distilled water. And crystallization behavior of these glasses were studied by DTA, TMA, XRD analysis and by the measurement of dielectric properties. The overall composition of the glass-ceramic consists in weight percent of 30-35% A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$, 13-26% BaO, 5-21% CaO, 10-24% ZnO, 4.5-9.0% TiO$_{2}$ and 4-8% B$_{2}$O$_{3}$. As a result, in barium-rich glasses only celsian phase was developed in the range of 850-900.deg. C. Also, the thermal expansion coefficient, dielectric constant and quality factor of these glass-ceramics were 68*10$^{-7}$ /.deg. C, about 9 and more than 1000, respectively.

The object of this study is to find the optimum conditions for crystal growth and kinds of crystal in ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass composition. At first, the base glass composed of ZnO (44.7%), Al2O3(14.0%) and SiO2(41.3%) was melted in propane gas furnace at 1450-150$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour, and then it was poured into the stainless steel mould heated previously at $600^{\circ}C$ to obtain the thin glass test piece. Four crystal forms from base glass such as stuffed keatite, zinc orthosilicate, zinc aluminosilicate, and cristobalite were crystallized during heat treatment between 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 110$0^{\circ}C$. For the investigation of crystal growth, X-ray diffractometer and thermal differential analysis were used and the growth rate of the four crystal forms were obtained by the method of Archimedes specific gravity and intensity comparison of X-ray diffraction peak. The results obtained were as follows. 1) Stuffed keatite peaks which started to appear after two hours at 80$0^{\circ}C$ were maximum after 11 hours and this crystal breaks down to willemite irreversibly at about 100$0^{\circ}C$. 2) Development of gahnite started at 85$0^{\circ}C$ and increased with temperature growth. 3) Stuffed keatite which had been transformed slowly into willemite at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was decreased with time and willemite increased until four hours. 4) Cristobalite began to be developed after treatment of 110$0^{\circ}C$.
