The effects of MnO$_2$ and Fe$_2$O$_3$ on the piezoelectric properties of 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics were investigated. The addition of MnO$_2$ increased mechanical quality factor (Q$_m$) but decreased the dielectric constant (K$^{T}_{33}$) and compliance (S$^{E}_{11}$) of the specimens. These results indicated that MnO$_2$ behaves as an acceptor in 0.05MN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics. The electromecanical coupling coefficient (K$_P$) of 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ ceramics slightly increased with the addition of MnO$_2$ however, the enhancement of $K_P$ was insignificant. A small amount of Fe$_2$O$_3$ was added to enhance the $K_P$ of the 0.05PMN-0.451PT-0.499PZ + 0.5 wt% MnO$_2$ ceramics. The addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$ largely increased $K_P$ through the increase of the K$^{T}_{33}$ and the polarization. The mechanical quality factor of the specimens decreased with the addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$however, the reduction was negligible.

$La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3$ films were deposited on $SiO_2$/Si and Si substrates annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ by rf magnetron sputtering. The oxygen gas flow rates were varied as 0, 40, and 80 sccm. Without post annealing process, $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3$ thin films on $SiO_2$/Si and Si substrates were polycrystalline with (100), (110), and (200) growth planes. The grain size of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3$ thin films was increased with increasing oxygen gas flow rate. The sheet resistance of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3$ thin films was decreased with oxygen flow rate due to the increased grain size which induced a reduction of grain boundary. TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) values of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_3$ thin films were obtained from -2.0% to -2.2%.

Li-Mn spinel ($LiMn_2O_4$) is prepared by a hydrothermal process with K-Birnessite ($KMnO_4{\cdot}yH_2O$) as a precursor. The K-Birnessite obtained via a hydrothermal process with potassium permanganate [$KMnO_4$] and urea [$CO(NH_2)_2$] as starting materials are converted to Li-Mn spinel nanoparticles reacting with LiOH. The molar ratio of LiOH/K-Birnessite is adjusted in order to find the effect of the ratio on the structural, morphological and electrochemical performances of the Li-Mn spinel. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and thermogravimetry (TG) are used to investigate the crystal structure and morphology of the samples. Galvanostatic charge and discharge are carried out to measure the capacity and rate capability of the Li-Mn spinel. The capacity shows a maximum value of $117\;mAhg^{-1}$ when the molar ratio of LiOH/K-Birnessite is 0.8 and decreases with the increase of the ratio. However the rate capability is improved with the increase of the ratio due to the reduction of the particle size.

Mn-Co-Ni oxide system has been used as the NTC thermistors for normal temperature applications. Mn-Co-Ni oxide-based thermistors with various compositions were sintered at 1250$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and then maintained at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The electrical properties of the thermistors fabricated were measured. In particular the MCN622 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$60 wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20 wt%, NiO 20wt%) exhibited the lowest resistivity and relatively high B constant. The MCN721 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$70wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20wt%, NiO 10 wt%) showed the higher resistivity than any other compositions. The aging properties of each composition showed comparatively stable characteristics within ${\pm}$2%.

We synthesized $(La,\;Sr)MnO_{3+{\delta}$ as a cathode for SOFC by glycine nitrate process(GNP) and knew the different properties of $(La_{1-x}Sr_x)MnO_3$ by using nitrate solution and oxide solution as starting material. In case of using nitrate solution as a starting material, main crystal phase peak of $LaMnO_3$ increased as Sr content added up and a peak of $Sr_2MnO_4\;and\;La_2O_3$ was showed as a secondary phase. We added Mn excess to control a crystal phase. In this case, the electrical conductivity had a high value 210.3S/cm at $700^{\circ}C$ On the other side, when we used oxide solution as a starting material, we found main crystal phase of $LnMnO_3$ to increase as Sr content added up and a peak of $La_2O_3$ as a secondary phase. Similary, we added Mn excess to control a crystal phase in this case. We knew $(La,\;Sr)MnO_3$ powder to sinter well and the electrical conductivity of the sintered body at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs was 152.7s/cm at $700^{\circ}C$. The sintered $(La,\;Sr)MnO_3$ powder at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs got the deoxidization peak, depending on the temperature md in case of using nitrate solution as a start ing material the deoxidization peak was showed at $450^{\circ}C$ which is lower than used a oxide solution as a starting material. As a result, when $(La,\;Sr)MnO_3$ powder was synthesized to add Mn excess and to use nitrate solution as a starting material, we found it to have the higher deoxidization property and considered it as a cathode for m properly. And we found it to have different electrical conduct ivity the synthesized $(La,\;Sr)MnO_3$ powder by using different start ing materials like nitrate solution and oxide solution which influence a sintering density and crystal phase.

In recent years, supercapacitors have been developed rapidly as a rechargeable energy storage device. And the performance of supercapacitors is depending on electrode materials, the preparation method and performance of electrode materials have become the primary goal of scientific development. This study synthesizes Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy cathode material with porous pattern core-shell structure by hydrothermal method and electrodeposition. The result samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction transmission/scanning electron microscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical evaluation reveals that electrochemical performance is significantly enhanced by PPy depositing. The specific capacitance of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy is 977 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1, the capacitance retention rate of 105%. Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy//AC asymmetric supercapacitor assembles with AC as the negative electrode material is significantly better than that of MnO₂//AC and Co₃O₄@MnO₂//AC. The capacity of Co₃O₄@MnO₂@PPy//AC is 102.78 F g^-1. The capacity retention rate is still 120% for 5000 charge-discharge cycles.

This study investigates the effect of MnO2 and CuO as acceptor additives on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$, which has a rhombohedral-tetragonal phase boundary composition. $MnO_2$ and CuO-added $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$ ceramics sintered at a relatively low temperature of $1020^{\circ}C$ show a pure perovskite phase with no secondary phase. As the addition of $MnO_2$ and CuO increases, the sintered density and grain size of the resulting ceramics increases. Due to the difference in the amount of oxygen vacancies produced by B-site substitution, Cu ion doping is more effective for uniform grain growth than Mn ion doping. The formation of oxygen vacancies due to B-site substitution of Cu or Mn ions results in a hardening effect via ferroelectric domain pinning, leading to a reduction in the piezoelectric charge coefficient and improvement of the mechanical quality factor. For the same amount of additive, the addition of CuO is more advantageous for obtaining a high mechanical quality factor than the addition of $MnO_2$.

본 논문은 저손실 Mn-Zn-Fe 페라이트 제조에 관하여 연구한 것이다. Mn-Zn-Fe 페라이트는 16mol% Xno, 31mol% MnO 및 53mol% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$로 조성하였으며 0.1wt% $Na_{2}$SiO$_{3}$ 0.05wt% $Na_{2}$SiO$_{3}$ 0.1%wt% CaO 0.05% SiO$_{2}$ 및 0.05wt% SiO$_{2}$ 및 0.05wt% $Na_{2}$SiO$_{3}$ 0.1% CaO 0.05wt% $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$를 미량 첨가하였다. 그리고 하소와 분쇄과정을 거친 분말은 충진성을 높이기 위하여 과립화하였다. 소결 1250, 1300 및 1350.deg.C에서 이루어졌고, 평형 산소분압은 소오킹 시 PO$_{2}$는 6%부터 시작하여 점차 감소시켰으며 900.deg.C에서 순수한 질소 분위기로 냉각시켰다. 초투자율, 손실계수 및 고유저항 등의 자기적인 특성은 1300.deg.C에서 소결했을 경우의 것이 가장 우수하였다. 즉, 초투자율은 2*$10^{3}$~$10^{3}$의 높은 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 tan.delta./.mu.i값은 100KHz~ 400KHz의 고파수대에서 9*10$_{-6}$~21*10$_{-6}$이었으며 고유저항 값은 485~680 .OMEGA.-cm의 높은 값을 나타내어 중간주파수대의 자심재료에 적합한 페라이트임을 확인하였다.

유기 화학 기상 증착법(MOCVD)을 이용하여 반응기체 $O_2$의 양 및 Y와 Mn의 운반기체 비(Y/Mn)를 변화시켜가며 Si(100) 기판 위에서 MFSFET(metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor) 구조의 YMnO$_3$박막을 증착하였다. 반응기체 $O_2$의 양이 150sccm일 때 Y/Mn=2와 3인 경우 단일상의 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막이 형성되었다. YMnO$_3$박막의 전기적 특성은 사방정계 YMnO$_3$박막에서는 나타나지 않았으나, 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막의 경우 결정립 크기에 영향을 받아 단일상의 육방정계 YMnO$_3$박막 중 결정립 크기가 150nm~200nm(Y/Mn=2)인 경우에는 잔류분극이 100nC/$ extrm{cm}^2$인 P-E 이력곡선의 특성을 나타내었다.
