  • Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared under high temperature and pressure conditions by mixture of metal nitrate solution and $TiO_2$ sol. Fe doped $TiO_2$ particles were reacted in the temperature range of 170 to $200^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. The microstructure and phase of the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were studied by SEM (FE-SEM), TEM, and XRD. Thermal properties of the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were studied by TG-DTA analysis. TEM and X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were crystalline. The average size and distribution of the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were about 10 nm and narrow, respectively. The average size of the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles increased as the reaction temperature increased. The overall reduction in weight of Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was about 16% up to ${\sim}700^{\circ}C$; water of crystallization was dehydrated at $271^{\circ}C$. The transition of Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticle phase from anatase to rutile occurred at almost $561^{\circ}C$. The amount of rutile phase of the synthesized Fe doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles increased with decreasing Fe concentration. The effects of synthesis parameters, such as the concentration of the starting solution and the reaction temperature, are discussed.

  • Transition metal ions doped $TiO_2$ nanostructured powders were prepared with simply heating aqueous $TiOCl_2$ solutions, contained various metal ions (Ni, Al, Fe, Zr, and Nb) of 1.47 mol% added as metal-chlorides, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs by homogeneous precipitation process under suppressing conditions of water vaporization. The characterizations for prepared $TiO_2$ powders were carried out to observe doping of metal ions, their concentrations and microstructures using XRD, UV-VIS (DRS), XPS, SEM, TEM and ICP. Also, photo-oxidative abilities were evaluated by decomposition of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) under ultraviolet light irradiations. No secondary oxide phases were formed in all the $VTiO_2$ powders, showing doping with various transition metal ions. When adding ions ($Ni^{2+}$ or$ Al^{3+ }$ and $Zr^{4+}$ ) having valance states or ionic radii greatly different from those of $Ti^{4+}$ , the $TiO_2$ powders of mixed anatase and rutile phases were formed, whereas in the case of additions of $^Fe{3+ }$ and $Nb^{ 5+}$ as well as no addition of metal ion the powders with pure rutile phase alone were formed. Among the prepared $TiO_2$ powders, Ni$^{2+}$ doped $TiO_2$ powders, containing a small amount of anatase phase, showed excellent photo-oxidative ability in 4CP decomposition because of relative decreases in electron-hole recombination and poisoning of $TiO_2$ surface during the photoreaction.n.

  • The spectroscopic properties of Cr3+-doped sapphire and Ti3+-doped sapphire fibers are reported. Tensile stress produces blue shifts of the R lines and changes in their radiative lifetimes and integrated intensities which can be correlated to stress-induced changes of the crystal-field parameters in a Cr3+-doped sapphire fiber. A net red shift of the zero phonon fluorescence line of 2Eg state and a decrease of the splittings of 2T2g state with uniaxial stress are observed in a Ti3+-doped sapphire. In excitation spectra the two peaks from the 2Eg state are shifted to the blue with different rates. The changes are attributed to the stress-induced changes of crystal field and Jahn-Teller effect.

  • Sol-gel processing of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics doped with La(0.01-1.00 at. $\%$) were prepared from metal barium, titanium n-butoxide and lanthanum iso-propoxide. Characterization of the sol-gel-derived powder using XRD, SEM is also reported. The obtained results showed that insulator to semiconductor transition for highly donor-doped barium titanate was closely related to the incorporation of donor into the grains and to the resultant grain size, which were significantly affected by the sinterability of $BaTiO_3$ powders and sintering conditions used.

  • Thin films of MgO-doped and CaO-doped iron oxide were prepared y spray pyrolysis. The films were characterized b X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and voltammetric techniques. The photoelectrochemical behavior of thin film electrodes depended greatly on the doping level, sintering temperature, substrate temperature and added photosensitizing compounds in solution, showed p-type photoelectrochemical behavior, while the CaO-doped iron oxide thin films prepared at low temperature showed n-type photoelectrochemical behavior. This characteristic change was interpreted in terms of the surface structure change of the thin films and doping effect of metal oxide.

  • The influence of heavily Si impurity doping in the GaN barrier of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well structures of blue light emitting diodes were investigated by growing samples in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The delta-doped sample was compared to the sample with the undoped barrier. The delta-doped sample shows the tunneling behavior and forms the energy level of 0.32 eV for tunneling and the photoemission of the 450-nm band. The photo-luminescence shows the blue-shifted broad band of the radiative transition due to the inclusion of Si delta-doped layer indicating that the delta doping effect acts to form the higher energy level than that of quantum well. The dislocation may provide the carrier tunneling channel and plays as a source of acceptor. During the tunneling of hot carrier, there was no light emission.

  • 3 mol% Y2O3-doped ZrO2 powders were prepared by hydrolysis with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 mol/ιH2O/ethanol into 0.1 mol/ι zirconium and yttrium alkoside/ethanol. Spherical monodispersed yttria-partially stabilized zirconia particles with an average diameter of about 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were prepared by hydrolysis with 0.2 mol/ιH2O/ethanol. The as-prepared powder was amorphous and with heating it transformed into cubic up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ and into tetragonal over 100$0^{\circ}C$. 3 mol% Y2O3-doped ZrO2 powders calcined over and up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ were a mixture of tetragonal and monoclinic and only tetragonal as determined by X-ray diffraction, respectively.

  • Incorporation of metalloporphyrins into polypyrrole (PPy) film was achieved either by electropolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of metal-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (MTSPP, M=Co, Fe) or by metalizing hydrogenated tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (H2TSPP) doped into PPy through ion-exchange. Electrochemical reduction of oxygen on the PPy doped with metallo porphyrin (PPy-MTSPP) was studied in acidic and basic solutions. Oxygen reduction on PPy-MTSPP electrodes appeared to proceed through a 4-electron pathway as well as a 2-electron path. In acidic solutions, the overpotential for O2 reduction on PPy-CoTSPP electrode was smaller than that on gold by about 0.2 V. In basic solutions the overpotential of the PPy-CoTSPP electrode in the activation range was close to those of Au and Pt. The limiting current was close to that of Au. However, polypyrrole doped with cobalt-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-CoTSPP) or with iron-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-FeTSPP) was found to have limited potential windows at high temperatures (above 50 ℃), and hence the electrode could not be held at the oxygen reduction potentials in basic solutions (pH 13) without degradation of the polymer.

  • In metal cutting, water-soluble cutting oil is used for cooling the surface of the workpiece and improving the surface roughness. However, waste cutting oil contains preservatives and surfactants, and if it is discarded as it is, it has an great influence on environmental pollution. For this reason, regulations on the use of cutting oil are being stricter. Hence, the development of eco-friendly treatment technologies is required. In this study, a diamond electrode doped with boron on a niobium substrate was deposited by thermal filament chemical vapor deposition and waste cutting oil was treated using an electrochemical method. Compared to the total amount of organic carbon contained in the waste cutting oil, it was confirmed that the boron-doped diamonds developed from this study showed much better performance than electrodes that has been widely used before.
