The reaction of $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)_2K$ with $BiCl_3$ yielded $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)_2BiCl$[I], the first organobismuth compound with ${\pi}$-bonded cyclopentadienyl ring. The compound I which was the violet crystal (yield, 30%) was decomposed to $PCpBiCl_2$. The Structure of $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)_2BiCl$ was identified as single crystal by X-ray diffraction method. The eliminated product $C_{20}H_{30}$, triclinic crystal of space group p1(Z=2) which was attached with C-C ${\sigma}$-bond of two cyclopentadienyl was defined by the structural analysis.

The NGC 1333 IRAS 4B region is observed in the 6.9 mm and 1.3 cm continuum with an angular resolution of about 0.4 arcseconds. IRAS 4BI is detected in both bands, and BII is detected in the 6.9 mm continuum only. The 1.3 cm source of BI seems to be a disk-like flattened structure with a size of about 50 AU. IRAS 4BI does not show any sign of multiplicity. Examinations of archival infrared images show that the dominating emission feature in this region is a bright peak in the southern outflow driven by BI, corresponding to the molecular hydrogen emission source HL 9a. Both BI and BII are undetectable in the mid-IR bands. The upper limit on the far-IR flux of IRAS 4BII suggests that it may be a very low luminosity young stellar object.

BSCCO thin films are fabricated by an ion beam sputtering method, and sticking coefficients of the respective elements are evaluated. The sticking coefficient of Bi element in BSCCO film formation was observed to show a unique temperature dependence; it was almost a constant value of 0.49 below about $730^{\circ}C$ and decreased linearly over about $730^{\circ}C$. In contrast, Sr and Ca, displayed no such remarkable temperature dependence. This behavior of the sticking coefficient was explained consistently on the basis of the evaporation and sublimation processes of $Bi_2O_3$. It was concluded that Bi(2212) thin film constructs from the partial melted Bi(2201) phase with the aid of the liquid phase of $Bi_2O_3$.

Phase intergrowth some kinds of the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ phases is observed in the thin film fabrication at ultralow co-deposition with multi targets by means of ion beam sputtering. The molar fraction of the Bi2212 phase in the mixed crystal of the grown films is investigated as a function of the applied ozone pressure and the substrate temperature. The activation energy for the phase transformation from the Bi2201 to the Bi2212 is estimated in terms of the Avrami equation. This study reveals that the formation of a liquid phase contributes significantly to the construction of the Bi2212 phase in the thin films, differing from the bulk synthesis.

The stability of Bi-based superconducting wires cooled by a cryocooler was studied by considering the temperature dependency of critical current and electrical resistivity. The critical current measured in 23 K was about 7 times higher than that measured in liquid nitrogen of 77 K. The stability behavior of Bi based multifilament wires subjected to a thermal disturbance, which was simulated with a electric heater, was investigated by measuring the variation of voltage drop with time. Current sharing was occurred, and recovery to superconductivity was measured in the wire after removing heater power.

Normal zone propagaton(NZP) properties were investigated on Bi-223/Ag tapes and prototype HTS cable. NZP experiments in tape were conducted in temperatures from 45K to 77K in zero field. Prototype HTS cable was molded using epoxy and the experiments were carried out under adiabatic condition in LN$_2$. NZP velocities in tapes with tow conditions of DC and AC currents were almost same at each temperature. NZP velocity in prototype HTS cable was 1.9-2.4 cm/sec in LN$_2$. Numerical analysis was carried out by a one-dimensional equation of heat balance. The simulation results of NZP velocity in Bi-2223/Ag tapes were similar to the experimental results.

We synthesized BiOI nanostructures with various doped-concentrations of Ag (0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 mol%) and Ti (1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 30.0, 50.0 mol%). They show spherical echinoid-like structures examined by scanning electron microscope. The BET surface areas were measured to be in the range of 40~70 $m^2$/g, which is reduced by doping. The indirect band gap was estimated to be 1.8 eV for undoped BiOI with no change and 1.0 eV increase upon Ag and Ti doping, respectively. The structures were further examined by X-Ray diffraction analysis, FT-IR, and photoluminescence. We also demonstrated adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performances for methyl orange and Rhodamine B on the echinoid-like BiOI structures.

For practical applications, the evaluation of reliability or endurance of HTS conductors is necessary. The mechanical properties and the critical current, $I_c$, of multifilamentary Bi-2223 superconducting tapes, externally reinforced with stainless steel foils, subjected to high cycle fatigue loading in the longitudinal direction were investigated at 77K. The S-N curves were obtained and its transport property was evaluated with the increase of repeated cycles at different stress amplitudes. The effect of the stress ratio, R, on the $I_c$ degradation behavior under fatigue loading was also examined considering the practical application situation of HTS tapes. Microstructure observation was conducted in order to understand the L degradation mechanism in fatigued Bi-2223 tapes.

Samples with the nominal composition, B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{\delta}}$ high- $T_{c}$ superconductors containing MgO as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with MgO of 5~30 wt% each were sintered at 820~86$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The structural characteristics, critical temperature, grain size and image of mapping with respect to MgO contents were analyzed by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS(Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer) respectively. As MgO contents increased, intensity of MgO Peaks and ratio of Bi-2212 phase in superconductors intensified and the proportion of the phase transition from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 was increased.

Due to high ionic conductivity and favorable oxygen electrocatalysis, doped $Bi_2O_3$ systems are promising candidates as solid oxide fuel cell cathode materials. Recently, several researchers reported reasonably low cathode polarization resistance by adding electronically conducting materials such as (La,Sr)$MnO_3$ (LSM) or Ag to doped $Bi_2O_3$ compositions. Despite extensive research efforts toward maximizing cathode performance, however, the inherent catalytic activity and electrochemical reaction pathways of these promising materials remain largely unknown. Here, we prepare a symmetrical structure with identically sized $Y_{0.5}Bi_{1.5}O_3$/LSM composite electrodes on both sides of a YSZ electrolyte substrate. AC impedance spectroscopy (ACIS) measurements of electrochemical cells with varied cathode compositions reveal the important role of bismuth oxide phase for oxygen electrocatalysis. These observations aid in directing future research into the reaction pathways and the site-specific electrocatalytic activity as well as giving improved guidance for optimizing SOFC cathode structures with doped $Bi_2O_3$ compositions.
