In this parer, by means of adding nonsuperconductive phase sliver into YBCO matrix, the superconductivity of Melted Texture Growth (MTG) YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$7-x/ was improved remarkably. In order to eliminate the crack inthe YBCO and the weak linkin the grain boundary, Ag contents from 2wt% to 18Wt% were doped in the YBCO It was found that J$\_$c/ of YBCO increase with the increasing Ag content till 14 wt% over 14wt% of Ag content, the Jc tends to stable . The grain size of YBCO became fine when Ag was added in the YBCO and X-ray diffraction showed that the YBCO crystal prepared by the above technique had (001) orientation and growing plane of YBCO was a-b plane. Using Bens medel, the J$\_$c/ was calculated and the best result was J$\_$c/ 76000A$\textrm{cm}^2$(77K, 100Gs).

In the present study the microstructure of low-carbon steels fabricated by controlled rolling and accelerated cooling processes was characterized and identified based on various microstructure analysis methods including optical and scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD). Although low-carbon steels are usually composed of ${\alpha}-ferrite$ and cementite($Fe_3C$) phases, they can have complex microstructures consisting of ferrites with different size, morphology, and dislocation density, and secondary phases dependent on rolling and accelerated cooling conditions. The microstructure of low-carbon steels investigated in this study was basically classified into polygonal ferrite, acicular ferrite, granular bainite, and bainitic ferrite based on the inverse pole figure, image quality, grain boundary, kernel average misorientation(KAM), and grain orientation spread(GOS) maps, obtained from EBSD analysis. From these results, it can be said that the EBSD analysis provides a valuable tool to identify and quantify the complex microstructure of low-carbon steels fabricated by controlled rolling and accelerated cooling processes.

(Ba,Sr) $RuO_3$ thin films were fabricated on Si(100) wafer by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using ultrasonic spraying. When the substrate temperature was varied, the BSR thin films showed good crystallinity above 50$0^{\circ}C$ and showed (110) preferred orientation by X-ray diffraction measurements. The surface morphology, determined by atomic force microscopy, indicated that the grain size of BSR thin films depended strongly on the Ba/Sr ratio. With the increase in the amount of Sr relative to Ba, the resistivity of BSR films decreased fro m415 to 261 $\mu$$\Omega$${\cdot}$cm.

The microstructure of bulk electrolytic MnO₂ (EMD) was studied using x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The bulk sample showed a typical powder x-ray diffraction pattern of EMD materials. TEM study showed that the structure of EMD is present at two length scales;grains, ∼0.2 ㎛ in diameter, and ∼10 nm crystallites within the grain. The electron beam microdiffraction study revealed that each grain is an assemblage of multiphase with a common crystallographic orientation, and_that ∼50% of the crystallites are Ramsdellite, ∼30% are ε-MnO₂, and ∼15% are Pyrolusite. The ｛1120｝peak located at about 67° in powder XRD pattern as well as a high-resolution electron microscope (HREM) image of (0001) plane support the existence of ε-MnO₂ phase.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been recently investigated as an alternative material for Geosynthetics to improve soil properties. One of the factors influencing the fiber orientation and mechanical properties of CFRP is the effect of soil overburden pressure. This study investigates the tensile behavior of cast-in-place CFRP. During the curing time of specimens, a wide range of normal stress is applied on specimens sandwiched between the soils. Two different soil types are used to determine the effect of soil grain size on the mechanical properties of CFRP. Specimens are also prepared with different specifications such as curing time and mixing soil in to the epoxy. In this study, tensile tests are conducted to investigate the effect of such parameters on tensile behavior of CFRP. The experimental results indicate that by increasing the normal stress and soil grain size, the ultimate tensile strength and the corresponding strain of CFRP decrease; however, reduction in elastic modulus is not noticeable. It should be noted that, increasing the curing period of epoxy resin and mixing soil in to the epoxy have no significant effect on the tensile properties of CFRP.

Magnetic properties and microstructures of the $Co_{83}Cr_{17}$ films growing under the applied magnetic field were studied. In comparison, those of the films growing without magnetic field were also studied. Magnetic field does not affect saturation magnetization and in-plane coercivity of the films. On the contrary perpendicular coercivity and effective perpendicular anisotropy field decreased. Grain size and the thickness of the so-called transition layer were not affected and the C-axis alignment of the films was slightly deteriorated due to magnetic field. Also, microstructures of the sputtered films showed larger grain sizes of strong (002) preferred orientation for thicker film specimens independent of applied magnetic field.

The structural properties of $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films with post-annealing temperature were investigated. $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates with optimum deposition condition. The $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films was post-annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$, 650$^{\circ}C$, 700$^{\circ}C$, 750$^{\circ}C$, 800$^{\circ}C$ in furnace,respectively. Increasing the post-annealing temperature, the grain size, density and peak intensity of (117) and c-axis orientation were increased. The $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films that annealed at 750$^{\circ}C$ exhibited well crystallized phase and had no vacancy and grain was uniform. but there are some secondary phases observed. At this time, the average thickness of $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}(BCT)$ thin films was 2000 ${\AA}$.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is widely used for quantitative microstructural analysis of the crystallographic nature of variety of materials such as metals, minerals, and ceramics. EBSD can provide a wide range of information on materials including grain size, grain orientation, texture, and phase identity. In the case of metallic alloys, EBSD now has become an essential technique to analyze the texture, particularly when severe deformation is applied to the alloys. In addition, EBSD can be one of the very useful tools in identification of twin, particularly in Mg alloys. In Mg alloys different type of twin can occur depending on the c/a ratio and stacking fault energy on the twinning plane. Such an occurrence of different type of twin can be most effectively analyzed using EBSD technique. In this article, the recent development of Mg alloys and occurrence of twin in Mg are reviewed. Then, recently published example for identification of tension and compression twins in AZ31 and ZX31 is introduced to explain how EBSD can be used for identification of twin in Mg.

Indium doped zinc oxide films (ZIO) were deposited on non-alkali glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the ZIO films were investigated as a function of their $In_2O_3$ content (3.33-15.22 wt%). The ZIO films deposited with an $In_2O_3$ content of 9.54 wt% showed a relatively low resistivity of $9.13{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and a highly c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and FWHM were mainly affected by the $In_2O_3$ content. The crystallinity and resistivity were enhanced with increasing grain size. The average transmittance of the ZIO films was over 85% in the visible region and their band gap varied from 3.22 to 3.66 eV depending on their doping ratio.

The properties of piezoelectric and dielectric for 0.05Pb(Mn$\_$0.4/W$\_$0.2/Nb$\_$0.4/)O$_3$ - 0.95PbZr$\_$x/Ti$\_$1-x/O$_3$ compositions have been investigated. In the composition of 0.05Pb(Mn$\_$0.4/W$\_$0.2/Nb$\_$0.4/)O$_3$ - 0.95PbZr$\_$0.51/Ti$\_$0.49/O$_3$, the values of k$\_$p/ and $\varepsilon$$\_$33/$\^$T// $\varepsilon$$\_$0/ are maximized, but Q$\_$m/ was minimized (k$\_$p/=56.5[%], Q$\_$m/=1130, d$\_$33/=258[pC/N], $\varepsilon$$\_$33/$\^$T// $\varepsilon$$\_$0/=1170). The grain size was suppressed and the uniformity of grain was improved at the 1100[˚C]. Also, we can see the dielectric constants variations between the before poling and after poling. This effect results from the effect(increase element of dielectric constants) between dipole switching and electrostriction inducing stress and dipole direction to the poling orientation(decrease element of dielectric constants). At x=0.51, we can find MPB(morphotropic phase boundary).
