A guided-wave TE to TM mode converter was demonstrated by using of the off-diagonal electrooptic coefficients in LiTaO$_{3}$. The input mode is coupled to the other orthogonal mode by the electrooptically induced off-diagonal polarizability. Compared with LiNbO$_{3}$, LiTaO$_{3}$ provides a smaller birefringence and thus a larger phase match period and larger optical bnadwidth. A novel electrode structure allowed a first-order Bragg-coupling phase matching. TE/TM mode conversion efficiency of 90% at 25 [V] was demonstrated with ${\lambda}$=0.63$\mu$m He-Ne laser.

[Li0.055(K0.5Na0.5)0.945](Nb1-xTax)O3 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) ceramics were prepared by the partial sol-gel (PSG) method to improve the microstructure homogeneity of Ta5+ ion and were compared to those prepared by the conventional mixed oxide (CMO) method. For the PSG method, Ta(OC2H5)5 was directly reacted with calcined [Li0.055(K0.5Na0.5)0.945]NbO3 powders and the specimens sintered at 1100 ℃ for 5 hrs showed a single phase with a perovskite structure. Compared to the specimens prepared by conventional mixed oxide powders, the relative ratio of tetragonal phase to orthorhombic phase of the sintered specimens prepared by Ta(OC2H5)5 was larger than that of the sintered specimens prepared by Ta2O5. The electromechanical coupling factor (kp), piezoelectric constant (d33) and dielectric constant (εr) of the sintered specimens were increased with Ta5+ content. These results could be attributed to the decrease of the orthorhombic-tetragonal polymorphic phase transition temperature (To-t), which could be evaluated by oxygen octahedral distortion. Strain of the sintered specimens prepared by the PSG method was higher than that of specimens prepared by the CMO method due to the increase of relative density. The effects of crystal structure on the strain characteristics of the specimens were also discussed.

Lead free $(1-x)(0.675BiFeO_3-0.325BaTiO_3)-xLiTaO_3$ (BFBTLT, x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03, with 0.6 mol% $MnO_2$ and 0.4 mol% CuO) were prepared by a solid state reaction method, followed by air quenching and their crystalline phase, morphology, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were explored. An X-ray diffraction study indicates that lithium (Li) and tantalum (Ta) were fully incorporated in the BFBT materials with the absence of any secondary phases. Dense ceramic samples (> 92 %) with a wide range of grain sizes from $3.70{\mu}m$ to $1.82{\mu}m$ were obtained in the selected compositions ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.03$) of BFBTLT system. The maximum temperatures ($T_{max}$) were mostly higher than $420^{\circ}C$ in the studied composition range. The maximum values of maximum polarization ($P_{max}{\approx}31.01{\mu}C/cm^2$), remnant polarization ($P_{rem}{\approx}22.82{\mu}C/cm^2$) and static piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}{\approx}145pC/N$) were obtained at BFBT-0.01LT composition with 0.6 mol% $MnO_2$ and 0.4 mol% CuO. This study demonstrates that the high $T_{max}$ and $d_{33}$ for BFBTLT ceramics are favorable for industrial applications.

$LiTaO_3$ 단결정 시료의 초전특성에 대한 주파수 의존성을 dynamic 방법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 2 ~ 1000Hz 주파수 범위에서 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정 시료의 전압응답을 부하 저항의 크기에 따라 초전전압영역 ($U_{PV},\;R_L=17.3G{\Omega}$) 과 초전전류영역 ($U_{PV},\;R_L=1M{\Omega}$) 으로 분류하여 측정하였다. 초전전류영역의 전압응답에 의존하는 초전계수는 40 Hz에서 최대값 $1.56{\times}10^{-8}C/cm^2{\cdot}K$를 나타내었고, 전압감도와 검출능을 위한 재료평가지수는 각각 최대값 $10.8{\times}10^{-11}C{\cdot}cm/J$ 과 $13{\times}10^{-7}C{\cdot}cm/J$을 나타내었다. 전압감도는 초전전압영역의 전압응답에 의존하여 2 Hz에서 488V/W 의 최대값을 나타내었다. 잡음등가전력과 비검출능은 40 Hz에서 각각 최소값 $3.95{\times}10^{-10}W/{\sqrt}Hz$와 최대값 $5.6{\times}10^8cm{\cdot}{\sqrt}Hz/W$이었다.

Electrical properties and microstructure were investigated on the effects of $MnO_2$ and the lead-free $(Na_{0.44}K_{0.52}Li_{0.04})(Nb_{0.83}Sb_{0.07}Ta_{0.1})O_3$ ceramics with the addition of $MnO_2$ were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. A gradual change in the crystal and microstructure was observed with the increase of $MnO_2$ addition. For the NKN-LST-xmol%$MnO_2$ sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$, bulk density increased with the addition of $MnO_2$ and showed maximum value at addition 1.0mol% of $MnO_2$. Curie temperature of the NKN-LST ceramics slightly decreased with adding $MnO_2$. The dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased below 0.25mol% of $MnO_2$ addition, which might be due to the increase in density. The high piezoelectric properties = 145 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor = 0.421 and dielectric constant = 2883 were obtained for the NKN-LST-0.25mol%$MnO_2$ sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4h.

In this study, $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})_{0.96}](Nb_{0.86}Ta_{0.10}Sb_{0.04})O_3+xSrO$ (x=0, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.0075) ceramics were synthesized by the conventional mixed oxide method. The X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrated that ceramics possessed single perovskite structure. The SEM images indicate that microstructure can be obviously affected by a small amount of added SrO. The phase transition temperature tetragonal-cubic($T_c$) and orthorhombic-tetragonal($T_{o-t}$) shifts downward and upward with the increase of Sr addition, respectively. The excellent piezoelectric properties of $d_{33}=170[pC/N]$, $k_p=0.37$, $Q_m=64.12$, $T_{o-t}=153^{\circ}C$ and $T_c=370^{\circ}C$ were obtained from the 0.25 mol% Sr added ceramics sintered at $1,120^{\circ}C$ for 1 h.

켄티차(Kenticha) 희유원소(Ta-Li-Nb-Be) 광화대는 에티오피아 남부의 오피올라이트 습곡-쓰러스트 복합체내에 위치하고 있으며, 1980년대 에티오피아-구소련간 수행된 공동탐사 프로그램을 통해서 처음 발견되었다. 켄티차 희유원소 광화대는 남쪽에서 북쪽으로 덜미다마(Dermidama), 킬킬리(Kilkele), 슈니힐(Shuni Hill), 켄티차, 부포(Bupo) 페그마타이트를 포함한다. 켄티차 페그마타이트는 남북방향의 사문암과 활석-녹니석 편암층을 평행하게 관입하고 있으며, 대략 연장 2 km, 폭 400-700 m로 노출되어 있다. 켄티차 페그마타이트는 내부적으로 대상(zoning)을 이루고 있으며, 광물조합에 따라 하부 석영-백운모-조장석 화강암, 중부 백운모-석영-조장석-미사장석 페그마타이트, 상부 스포듀민-석영-조장석 페그마타이트로 세분된다. 주성분, 미량성분(Rb, Li, Nb, Ta, Ga), 원소비(K/Rb, Nb/Ta, Mg/Li, Al/Ga)는 페그마타이트의 분별작용과 고화작용이 하부에서 상부 페그마타이트로 진행되었음을 시사한다. 반면에 일반적인 페그마타이트 멜트의 분화양상과 달리 켄티차 페그마타이트의 Mg/Li 비는 상부 페그마타이트로 가면서 증가하는 양상을 보인다. 이러한 양상은 후기 마그마성 열수변질 또는 상부 초염기성암과의 반응 결과로 해석된다. 켄티차 페그마타이트의 희유원소 광화작용은 상부 페그마타이트에 집중되며, 최대 $Li_2O$ 3.0%, Rb 3,780 pm, Cs 111 ppm, Ta 1,320 ppm, and Nb 332 ppm을 함유하고 있다. 켄티차 페그마타이트에서 광석광물은 주로 탄탈라이트, 스포듀민, 레피돌라이트가 산출되며, 탄탈라이트는 거정의 석영-스포듀민과 상대적으로 세립의 당상 조장석과 함께 산출된다. 탄탈라이트는 $Mn^*$과 $Ta^*$ 값에 근거할 때 Mn-탄탈라이트로 분류된다. 거정질과 세립의 탄탈라이트는 조성($Mn^*$, $Ta^*$, Nb/Ta) 차이가 명확히 나타나며, 거정질 탄탈라이트는 세립의 탄탈라이트에 비해 Ta이 강하게 부화되며 Nb은 결핍되어 있다. 결론적으로 켄티차 페그마타이트에서 희유원소 광화작용은 마그마 멜트의 분별작용 최후기에 형성되었다.

In this paper, the $0.995(Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.56}K_{0.44})_{0.96}(Nb_{0.90}Ta_{0.10})_{0.998}Zn_{0.005}O_3+0.005KNbO_3+xwt%\;TeO_2$ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics for energy harvesting devices were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The microstructure, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of the $TeO_2$ addition. All the specimens showed an orthorhombic phase structure. At the composition ceramics doped with 0.1 wt%$TeO_2$, the optimum values of $d_{33}$= 212 pC/N, $d_{33}{\cdot}g_{33}=9.54pm^2/N$, and kp=0.448 were obtained, respectively. The results indicate that the composition ceramics is a promising candidate for energy harvesting devices applications.

In this work, Ta-substituted $Li_7La_3Zr_{2-x}O_{12}$ (LLZTO) powder and pellets with garnet cubic structure were fabricated and characterized by modified and optimized sol-gel synthesis. Ta-substituted LLZO powder with the smallest grain size and pure cubic structure with little pyrochlore phase was obtained by synthesis method in which Li and La sources in propanol solvent were mixed together with Zr and Ta sources in 2-methoxy ethanol. The LLZTO pellets made with the prepared powder showed cubic garnet structure for all conditions when the amount of Li addition was varied from 6.2 to 7.4 mol. All the X-ray peaks of the pyrochlore phase disappeared when the Li addition was increased above 7.0 mol. When the final sintering temperature was varied, the LLZTO pellet had a pyrochlore-mixed cubic phase above $1000^{\circ}C$. However, the surface morphology became much denser when the final sintering temperature was increased. The sol-gel-driven LLZTO pellet with a sintering temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$ showed a lithium ionic conductivity of 0.21 mS/cm when Au was adopted as electrode material for the blocking capacitor. The results of this study suggest that modified sol-gel synthesis is the optimum method to obtain cubic phase of LLZTO powder for highly dense and conductive solid electrolyte ceramics.
