The effect of aliovalent dopants, $ Nb_2O_5$ and MnO, on the phase stability of 12 mol% ceria partially-stabilized zirconia (Ce-TZP) polycrystals was studied. Both dopants (MnO and $ Nb_2O_5$) significantly increased the stability of the tetragonal zirconia phase (Mb temperature lower than liquid nitrogen temperature). The enhancement of the stability of the tetragonal phase in Ce-TZP doped with 1 mol% of Mno(Ce-TZP/MnO) andCe-TZP doped with 1 mol% of $ Nb_2O_5$(Ce-TZP/$ Nb_2O_5$) were explained by the significant reduction of the driving force, -${\Delta}$Gchem, for the tetragonal-to-mono-clinic phase transformation caused by the addition of MnO and $ Nb_2O_5$. The enhanced stability of the tetragonal phase in the Ce-TZP and Al2O3 composite (Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$) is believed to be caused by smaller grain size, moderate reduction in the chemical driving force and increase in the strain energy barrier to the transformation. Mechanical properties of the Ce-TZP and the Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ with (i) the same grain size and (ii) the same Mb temperature were examined by measuring stress-strain behavior in 3 point bending. The Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ composite doped with 1.3w% MnO (Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$/MnO), which had the same grain size as the Ce-TZP and De-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ showed more transformation plasticity than either the Ce-TZP or the Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ composite. The Ce-TZP wihch had the same Mb temperature as that of the Ce-TZP/$Al_2O_3$/MnO did not show any transformation plasticity.

The thermal properties of cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2)+30 wt% clay+ Xwt% MnO2 of infrared radiator have been investigated as a function of MnO2 additives (X=0,0.1,0.25,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5). The thermal expansion coefficient was decreased with increasing amounts of MnO2 additives. Otherwise, the spectral emissivity was increased in the below 4.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength. Also, the infrared radiator of cordierite system which spectral emissivity was approximately 1.0 can be attainable at from 4.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength. The spectral emissivity was decreased from 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 14 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ above X=2.5.

The thermal properties of Cordierite$(2MgO.2Al_2O_3.5SiO_2)$ + 30 [wt%]clay + X[wt%]MnO_2$ of infrared radiator have been investigated as a function of $MnO_2$ additives (X=0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5). The thermal expansion coefficient was decreased and the spectral emissivity was increased only in the below $4.5{\mu}m$ wavelength with increasing amaunts(wt%) of $MnO_2$ additives. Also, the infrared radiator of Cordierite system which spectral emissivity was approximately 1.0 can be attainable at from $4.5{\mu}m$ to $8{\mu}m$ wavelength. The spectral emissivity was decreased from $8{\mu}m$ to $14{\mu}m$ at X=2.5.

The effects of SiO2 MnO2 and sintering atmospheres (O2, N2) on the piezoelectric properties and densification behaviors of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 were investigated. The addition of SiO2 to the system enhanced the rate of densification but supressed the rate of grain growth. On the other hand the addition of MnO2 to the system did not nearly affect the rate of densification but increased slightly the rate of grain growth The densification of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 was promoted with increasing the partial pressure of O2. The relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 sintered under O2 atmosphere were higher than under N2 atmosphere. Whereas the mechanical quality factor (Qm) of specimens sintered under O2 atmosphere were lower than under N2 atmosphere. Thus the sintering atmosphere of O2 and N2 in Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 acted as donor and acceptor respectively. As the amount of SiO2 increased the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 but the mechanical quality factor (Qm) did not nearly change, In the case of the addition of MnO2 to the system the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 sintered under O2 atmosphere decreased rapidly with increasing the amount of MnO2 but they were unchanged with increasing the amount of MnO2 under N2 sintering atmosphere. Therefore the differences of the relative dielect-ric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) due to sintering atmosphere were diminished as the amount of MnO2 increased.

The dc resistivity dc magnetization and thermopower of layered perovskite La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7.07 have been studied. The ceramic sample of La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7.07 undergoes the metal-insulator transition at 120K while a first-order phase transition from a ferromagnetic phase to a paramagnetic phae is observed at 260 K=TC This behavior is quite different from that of the well-known double exchange ferromagnets such as La1-xCaxMnO3 This phenomenon could be understood by considering the effects of the anisotropic double exchange interaction caused by two dimensional Mn-O-Mn networks in this materials. The dc magnetization between 120K and 250K is nearly constant and decreases rapidly with increasing temperature above 250K The measurements of dc resistivity and thermopower indicate that Zener polaron hopping conduction takes place above 260 K.

The electro-magnetic properties of the Mn-Zn ferrite single crystal with small variation of Fe2O3 concentration at the high permeability composition, 53mol% Fe2O3-28.5mol% MnO-18.5mol% ZnO, have been studied for the VCR magnetic head application. With the increase of the Fe2O3 concentration, the Fe2+ concentration increased, the specific resistivity decreased, the secondary maximum permeability shifted to the lower temperature, and the initial permeability decreased. It was concluded that the small variation of $\pm$0.5mol% Fe2O3 concentration greatly affected the electro-magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrite single crystals. At the composition of 53mol% Fe2O3, the initial permeability was comparatively high (650 at 5MHz) and its temperature dependence was small.

The spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$was obtained by two consecutive heat treatment on xerogel; the first heat treatment was at $150^{\circ}C$ and the second at $350^{\circ}C$ was obtained by sol-gel process using an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and manganese acetate. The synthesized $LiMn_2O_4$ by the sol-gel process showed a discharge capacity of 88~56 mAh/g after 15 cycles in Li/lM $LiClO_4$(in PC)/$LiMn_2O_4$at a current density of 0.25 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the voltage ranged 3.5 V to 4.3 V. For the second heat treatment above $350^{\circ}C$, $Mn_2O_3$was formed as a by-product during the synthesis of $LiMn_2O_4$. The heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$, for example, showed a lower discharge capacity 81~47 mAh/g, after the 15 charge/discharge cycles. The lower capacity was due to the increment of $Mn^{3+}$ ion and this phenomenon was in agreement with the Jahn-Teller distortion.

The electrochemical performance of carbon-coated LiMn₂O₄ nanoparticles was reported. The polydopamine layer was introduced as a new organic carbon source. The carbon layer was homogeneously coated onto the surface of the LiMn₂O₄ nanoparticles because the polymerization process from the dopamine solution (in a buffer solution, pH 8.5) easily and uniformly formed a polydopamine layer. The phase integrity of LiMn₂O₄ deteriorated during the carbon-coating process due to oxygen loss, although the main structure was maintained. The carbon-coated sample led to improved rate capability because of the effect of the conductive carbon layer. Moreover, the carbon coating also enhanced the cyclic performance. This indicates that the carbon layer may suppress unwanted side reactions with the electrolytes and compensate for the low electronic conductivity of the pristine LiMn₂O₄.

$BaTiO_3$ powders doped with $BaTiO_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. were synthesized by Direct Wet Process. These powders were very homogeneous and fine particle size. To obtain the highe PTCR effect AST($1/3Al_2O_3$.$3/4SiO_2$.$1/4TiO_2$) and $MnO_2$ were added in the semiconduc-ting $BaTiO_3$. In this case $Bi_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$ were used in the form of $Bi(NO)_3$ and $MnCl_2$.$4H_2O$ solution for Direct Wet Process. $BaTiO_3$ doped Nb2O5 and $MnO_2$ demostrated greater PTCR effect than $BaTiO_3$ doped $Nn_2O_5$ only.
