The coupling of two semiconducting materials is an efficient method to improve photocatalytic activity via the suppression of recombination of electron-hole pairs. In particular, the coupling between two different phases of $TiO_2$, i.e., anatase and rutile, is particularly attractive for photocatalytic activity improvement of rutile $TiO_2$ because these coupled $TiO_2$ powders can retain the benefits of $TiO_2$, one of the best photocatalysts. In this study, anatase $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are synthesized and coupled on the surface of rutile $TiO_2$ powders using a microemulsion method and heat treatment. Triton X-100, as a surfactant, is used to suppress the aggregation of anatase $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and disperse anatase $TiO_2$ nanoparticles uniformly on the surface of rutile $TiO_2$ powders. Rutile $TiO_2$ powders coupled with anatase $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are successfully prepared. Additionally, we compare the photocatalytic activity of these rutile-anatase coupled $TiO_2$ powders under ultraviolet (UV) light and demonstrate that the reason for the improvement of photocatalytic activity is microstructural.

We investigate the efficiency of an optical intensity modulator based on an electrically tunable $LiNbO_3$ reflection grating. Assuming a grating coupling coefficient and the waveguide propagation loss, waveguide length is varied to find its effect on the modulator slope efficiency and the device capacitance. With the low propagation loss of the $LiNbO_3$ waveguide, a very efficient optical intensity modulator can be achieved for a low frequency (${\sim}1GHz$) as long as the requirement for the grating coupling coefficient is satisfied.

In this paper, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties as a function of x and a in $aPbZr_xTi_{1-x}O_3-(1-a)Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ + ywt%MgO is investigated. As a results, when a is 0.95 and x is 0.505, electromechanical coupling factor$(k_p)$, permittivity${\varepsilon}_33^T/{\varepsilon}_0$, piezoelectric strain constant$(d_{33})$ and mechanical quality factor$(Q_m)$ are 58 %, 1520, 272 pC/N and 1550, respectively. From XRD analysis, when x is 0.505, it is MPB which present rhombohedral and tetragonal phase in same quantity. Also, From SEM observation, when sintering temperature is $1150^{\circ}C$, grain size is about $2\;{\mu}m$. As a results added MgO dopant in the ternary piezoelectric ceramic, when MgO content is 0.1 wt%, $k_p$ increases to 63[%].

The structural, magnetic, and transport properties of a mono-layered manganite $La_{0.7}Sr_{1.3}MnO_{4+{\delta}}$ were investigated using variable temperature neutron powder diffraction as well as magnetization and transport measurements. The compound adopts the tetragonal I4/mmm symmetry and exhibits no magnetic reflection in the temperature region of 10 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K. A weak ferromagnetic (FM) transition occurs about 130 K, which almost coincides with the onset of a metal-insulator (M-I) transition. Extra oxygen that occupies the interstitial site between the [(La,Sr)O] layers makes the spacing between the [MnO₂] layers shorten, which enhances the inter-layer coupling and eventually leads to the M-I transition. We also found negative magneto resistance (MR) below the M-I transition temperature, which can be understood on the basis of the percolative transport via FM metallic domains in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulating matrix.

In this study, 0.96B $i_{0.5}$($Na_{0.84}$ $K_{0.16}$)$_{0.5}$Ti $O_3$ + 0.04SrTi $O_3$ + 0.3 wt% N $b_2$ $O_{5}$+0.2 wt% L $a_2$ $O_3$ + xwt % Mn $O_2$ were investigated as a function of the amount of Mn $O_2$ addition in order to improve dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. With increasing the amount of Mn $O_2$ addition, the density, electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$), piezoelectric constant( $d_{33}$, $g_{33}$) and curie temperature (Tc) showed the maximum value of 5.7 g/㎤, 38 %, 219 pC/N, 26 mVㆍm/N and 32$0^{\circ}C$ at 0.1 wt% Mn $O_2$ addition, respectively, and mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$ ) showed the maximum value of 158 at 0.3 wt% Mn $O_2$ addition.ddition.ion.n.

Perovskite PMN-PZT-based ceramics were prepared and the$ MnO_2$ doping effects on their piezoelectric properties were investigated. Grain size decreased with increasing the $MnO_2$ content, and the pyrochlore phase was not identified in the sintered PMN-PZT ceramics with 0.01～1.0wt% $MnO_2$. Piezoelectric voltage and charge constants were reduced and mechanical quality factor increased with increasing the $MnO_2$ content. However, electromechanical coupling coefficient slightly decreased with increasing the MnO$_2$ content without regard to the grain size.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a dual-band bandpass filter which can control upper and lower bandwidth using the transformed E-shaped dual-mode resonator. The filter is made the coupling between even-mode not to affect odd-mode resonant frequency by the transformed resonator to control upper bandwidth effectively. The cross coupling between input and output feed lines was employed to improve stopband characteristic. The bandpass filter has been designed to indicate the same bandwidth at center frequency 2 GHz and 3 GHz to show to control bandwidth.

A.c. susceptibility for $Bi_{1.4}Pb_{0.6}Sr_2Ca_2Cu_{3.6}O_x$ superconductor is measured as a function of temperature at different value of a.c. magnetic field amplitude. Two transition steps are attributed to the intergranular and intragranular properties. Based on Bean's critical state model, intergranular critical current density, $J_c^{gb}$ (11 $A/cm^2$ at 77 K) and intragranular critical current density, $J_c^g (7{\times}10^3\;A/cm^2$ at 100 K) are estimated. The low values of $J_c^{gb}$and $J_c^g$ reflect a poor nature of coupling between grains and the low pinning force density of intragrain in $Bi_{1.4}Pb_{0.6}Sr_2Ca_2Cu_{3.6}O_x$ superconductor.

Stereoselective synthesis of farnesol, (2E, 6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-tiren-1-ol(1), was carried out using 5-bromo-2-methylpent-2-ene(2) as a starting material. After conversion of 5-bromo-2-methylpent-2-ene(2) to the corresponding iodide compound, 5-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)-2,3-dihydrofuran(4) was obtained by alkylation of 5-lithio-2,3-dihydrofuran with 5-iodo-2-methylpent-2-ene. Ni(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of the dihydrofuran 4 with MeMgI was proceeded to give (3E)-4,8-dimethylnona-3,7-dien-1-ol(5) in 72% yield. The resultant homoallylic alcohol 5 was converted to the (5E)-6,10-dimethylundeca-5,9-dien-2-one(8) in 4 steps. Compound 8 was condensed with dimethylmethoxycarbonylmethylphosponate in benzene follwed by $NaBH_4$ reduction in EtOH to yield (2E, 6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-trien-1-ol(1). Ni(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of MeMgI with dihydrofuran 4 was a key step in this synthesis of farnesol(1).
