본연구에서는 n-type 세라믹 초전도체인 Nd2-xCexCuO4상의 산소함량에 따른 \ulcorner기적저항의 변화를 고찰하고자 하였다. 일반적인 소결과 어닐링과정을 결쳐 제조된 Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x 시편을 여러 온도와 산소분압의 분위기하에서 어닐링시킴으로써 산소의 함유량이 다른 시편들을 준비하였고 각각의 시편의 산소함량은 TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis0에 의해 측정하였다. Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x시편의 전기적 저항 측정은 표준 4-탐침방법을 이용하여 액체헬륨을 주입시켜 상온으로부터 4K까지 측정하였다. Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x시편의 산소함량, 3.96$\leq$4-x$\leq$4.0의 범위에서 전기적저항을 측정한 결과 초전도특성이 나타나기 시작한 임계산소함량은 4-x=3.990이었고 이때의 임계온도 Tc=12K이었다. 또한 임계온도, Tc는 산소함량 4-x=3.96에서 24K로 측정되었다. 특이할 만한 현상은 CuO/Cu2O 열역학적 상전이가 일어나는 조건이 Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x 시편의 초전도가 일어나는 임계와 일치하였다. 즉, Cu2O가 안정한 영역에서는 초전도특성이 나타났고 CuO가 안정한 영역에서는 초전도특성이 나타나지 않았다.

The new Nd3Ba5Co4O15 phase was synthesized with Nd2O3, BaCO3, and Co3O4 by solid state reaction at 1200℃ with intermittent grinding. The crystal structure of Nd3Ba5Co4O15 has been refined on X-ray diffraction powder data by means of Rietveld method. The starting model was based on the Nd3.43Ba4.42Co2.23Al1.77O15 structure. The crystal system was hexagonal, space group P63mc(186), a=11.629(3) Å, c=6.842(2) Å. Final R values were Rwp=0.097 and Rp=0.068. The structure consists of clusters of CoVICoIV3O15 in which a CoVI octahedron shares corners with 3CoIV tetrahedra.

The effect of Bi-substitution in $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ ceramic was studied on the formation of crystal phases, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties. $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$, solid solution (0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) were formed by Bi-substitution into the Nd site of $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ ceramics. Average grain size increased with Bi-substitution. Dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) increased from 84 to U8, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$) decreased from 44 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ to -30 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ when Bi contents increased up to x=0.2 in $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ solid solutions. $BaO.(Nd_{1-x}Bi_x)_2O_3.4TiO_2$ solid solutions with x=0.04~0.08 showed the most superior microwave dielectric properties, those are ${\varepsilon}_r$= 89-92, Q . f = 5855~6091 GHz, and (${\tau}_f$)= -7.5-7.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

We measured the absorption rate of a Nd:YVO$_4$crystal with a thickness of 1 mm and the output power characteristics of a cw Nd:YVO$_4$/KTP laser with respect to the change of wavelength and the polarizations of a tunable Ti:sapphire pump laser with a linewidth of 0.2 nm. In the case of S-polarization (E┴$\pi$) and P-polarization (E∥$\pi$) of a pump laser, the maximum absorption rate of the crystal was 82% at 809.4 nm and 98% at 808.8 nm, and slope efficiencies for the output power of the Nd:YVO$_4$laser (1064 nm) were 43% and 52%, respectively. The maximum Nd:YYO$_4$laser output power of 516 mW was obtained from the P-polarization pump laser of 1000 mW. As a result of an intracavity frequency-doubling, slope efficiency for the output power of the Nd:YVO$_4$/KTP green laker (532nm) was 23% and the maximum output power of 205 mW with the beam quality (M$^2$) of 1.42 was obtained from the P-polarization pump laser of 1000 mW.

In compacting the melt-spun $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ and $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{15}B_{7}$ magnetic powders. the difference in composition induces a different behavior of closed packing rate as a function of aspect ratio of the powders. The $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ alloy having a low Co/Fe ratio (low density) shows the better green density to have an enhanced closed packing rate. An empirical power equation relating the green density with the compacting pressure was obtained such as ${\phi}(g/cm^{2})=5.2~5.6{\times}P^{0.045~0.065}(ton/cm^{2})$. The $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ alloy having a high Nd/Fe ratio possesses much finer grain size(50~60 nm) than that of $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ alloy and shows the higher coercivity($iH_{c}=14~15kOe$). The higher Nd/Fe ratio in the melt-spun Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy, where the domain wall pinning mechanism was found to be predominant, assists the formation of Nd-rich grain boundary phase acting as a pinning site. The grain boundary ranges over $12~16\;{\AA}$ thick in the Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy while it ranges over $8~12\;{\AA}$ thick in the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B alloy.

Nd치환이 Ag의 용융점 이하인 94$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 $Bi_{1-x}$$Nd_{x}$N$bO_{4}$세라믹스의 소결거동과 마이크로파 유전특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Nd치환량(x)이 증가함에 따라 사방점에서 삼사정으로 변하는 양이 증가하였고 결정립의 크기, 겉보기밀도, 유전상수는 감소하였다. Q$xf_{0}$값은 Nd 치환량이 0.025mole 이하의 경우 큰 변화가 없으나, 그 이상에서는 증가하여 0.1mol일 때 최고값을 보이고 다시 급격히 감소하였다. TCF값은 Nd치환량이 증가할수록(+)방향으로 증가하였다. 가장 우수한 마이크로파 유전특성은 Nd 치환량이 0.025mole일 때 얻어졌으며, 이때 유전상수는 43.7, Qxf/ sub 0/값은 11,046GHz, TCF값은 -1.82ppm/$^{\circ}C$이었다.

$Nd_{x}Fe_{77}B_{23-x}(x=4,\;6,\;8,\;11,\;13)$ alloys were prepared by rapid quenching technique. They were crystallized at higher than $650^{\circ}C$ and subsequently the magnetic properties were investigated The melt-spun alloy of x=8 consisted of nearly single metastable compound $Nd_{2}Fe_{23}B_{3}$ and showed the soft magnetic property. In $8{\leq}x{\leq}13$ alloys, the coercivities were increased according to the increase of Nd content but the remanences decreased. In $4{\leq}x{\leq}6$ alloys, the coercivities and the remanences were increased by lowering Nd content. In x=4 alloy, the ratio of soft to hard magnetic phase was 70:30 and the energy product was $96kJ/m^{3}(12MG.Oe)$.

Magnetic and Magneto-optical characteristics of NdTbFeCo alloy films and NdTbFeCo/TbFeCo double-layered films have been investigated. It was observed that the Kerr rotation(${\theta}_{k}$) in the short wavelength region increased and the coercivity decreased as the substitutional amount of Nd for Tb in NdTbFeCo film at the constant FeCo content. In spite of the increased ${\theta}_{k}$, a small coercivity of NdTbFeCo film made this medium unsuitable for magneto-optical recording medium at short wavelength. An effort was made to improve coercivity by exchange coupling with TbFeCo film of high coercivity. In the exchange-coupled $Nd_{16.9}Tb_{15.2}Fe_{50.4}Co_{17.5}(150\;{\AA})/Tb_{21.1}Fe_{65.0}Co_{13.9}(300\;{\AA})$ double-layered film, the magnetization reversal switching field and the Kerr rotation angle were increased to about 6.0 KOe and $0.32^{\circ}$ at 500 nm, respectively. This result indicates that exchange-coupled NdTbFeCo/TbFeCo film can be a promising candidate for agneta-optical rerding medium short wavelenhth.

Influence of solution treatment (T4) and peak-aging (T6) on damping capacity was investigated in permanent-mold cast Mg-3%Nd alloy. In as-cast state, the microstructure was characterized by eutectic $Mg_{12}Nd$ intermetallic phase network in the intergranular region. T4 treatment resulted in a dissolution of the eutectic particles, but small amount of the particles still remained in the microstructure. After T6 treatment, nano-sized ${\beta}^{\prime}(Mg_{12}Nd)$ particles were precipitated within the matrix. T4 microstructure showed higher damping capacity than as-cast and T6 ones. In view of the microstructural features, this may well be associated with the dissolution of second-phase particles which play a role in pinning the dislocations acting as a damping source.
