The magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B alloys of containing 4 at.% Nd have been studied for the development of new type rare-earth magnets. The amorphous phase of a melt-spun $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy is transformed into the phases which have a small amount of $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B_{1}$ in ${\alpha}-Fe$ matrix by annealing above their crystallization temperature. The addition of Mo, Nb, V or Cu to $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy results in the reduction of grain size and the sub¬sequent improvement of the coercivity. The coercivity of $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}M_{3}Cu_{1}$(M = Mo, Nb, V) alloys increases in the order of M = V < Nb < Mo and shows the highest value of 2.7 kOe when M = Mo. On the other hand, the rem¬anence of these alloys shows the opposite trend and the rn>st improved value of 1.35 T is observed when M = V.

The effects of Cu-addition and die-upset temperature on the texture in the die-upset Nd-lean $Nd_xFe_{93.5-(x+y)}-Cu_yGa_{0.5}B_6$ (x = 9-12, y = 0-2) alloys were investigated. The die-upset Cu-containing Nd-lean $Nd_{12}Fe_{81.5-y}-Cu_yGa_{0.5}B_6$ (y = 1, 2) alloys showed a considerable texture. Texture in the Nd-lean alloys developed through basal plane slip deformation. The Cu-addition reduced the melting point of grain boundary phase facilitating grain gliding during the die-upsetting, and providing a greater chance for the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains to meet the deformation conditions. Die-upsetting at higher temperature facilitated grain gliding and plastic deformation, thus enhancing texture.

Magnetic properties of $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}(x=\;3,\;4,\;5)$ rrelt-spun alloys with 6 at% B content were studied aiming for finding out a new $\alpha$-Fe based Nd-Fe-B nanocrystalline alloy with good hard magnetic properties. $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys prepared by RSP crystallized to nanocrystalline phase. An optimally annealed $Nd_{3}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{87}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys had larger volume ratio of $\alpha$-Fe(Co) than that of higher Nd content alloy and showed high remanence of about 1.6 T. On the contrary, the increase of Nd content in $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloys gave rise to gradual increase of an amount of $Nd_{2}{(Fe,\;Co)}_{14}B$ phase and improved coercivity. An optimally annealed $Nd_{5}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{85}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloy showed the most improved hard mag¬netic properties. The remanence, coercivityand energy product of the alloy were 1.35 T, 219 kA/m (2.75 kOe), and $129\;kJ/m^{3}$ (16.2 MGOe), respectively.

Y3Al5O2 and Nd: Y3Al5012 single crystals were grown by Czochralskl technique. The effectt of pulling rate rotation rate, and doping level of Nd3+ ion on the crystal quality were studied Various types of defects were analysed by photo-elastic effect and chemical etching method Finally, spectroscopic and laser poputies of grown crystal were measured. Optirmum pulling rate for good quality was dependant on the doping level of Nd3+ ion. It was found that the suitable pulling rates for pure Y3Al5O12 for 3.0∼3.5 a/o Nd3+ ion doped Y3Al5012 and for more than 40 a/o Nd3+ ion doped Y3Al5012 were 2∼4mm/hr, 0.6∼0.5mm/hr, and less than 0.4mm/hr respectively. Solid-liquid interface was convex at the rotation rate of 27∼60rpm, and concave at the rotation rate of 80∼100rpm. Growth axis was confired to <111> direction and lattice parameter was measured to 12.017A. Core (211) facets,striations, inclusions of metal particles, dislocations and optical inhonngeneities were detected. Four level laser transition of Nd3+ion in YIAls012 single crystal were identified by the spectroscopic measurements.

Background: In this study, the abductor hallucis activity and medial longitudinal arch angle were compared by performing four exercises, namely the short foot exercise, the short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension, the short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension with a load of 1kt on the sole, and the short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension with a load of 2kg on the sole. Methods: Four short foot exercises as described above were performed by 20 healthy adult males and females. The abductor hallucis activity and medial longitudinal arch angle were measured and analyzed by surface electromyography and the Kinovea software program. Results: The short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension, short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension with a load of 1kg on the sole, and the short foot exercise with 2^nd~5^th toe extension with a load of 2kg on the sole showed significantly higher abductor hallucis activity than the short foot exercise alone. Among these, the short foot exercise with the 2^nd~5^th toe extension was the most effective. All exercises showed a significantly decreased medial longitudinal arch angle post-exercise than pre-exercise, and the short foot exercise with the 2^nd~5^th toe extension showed a significantly decreased medial longitudinal arch angle compared to the other three exercises. Conclusion: It is believed that the short foot exercise with the 2^nd~5^th toe extension can be proposed as an effective exercise that can replace the short foot exercise alone.

Phase relation and microwave dielectric properties of the system BaO.(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.TiO2 (n=4, 5) were studied. With n=5 (1 : 1 : 5), Ba2Ti9O20 and TiO2 formed in case of X$\leq$0.7, and Ba2Ti9O20 and Sm2Ti2O7 formed at X=1.0 as the second phases dispersed in fine-grained orthorhombic matrix phase. With n=4 (1 : 1 : 4). on the contrary, only fine grains of an ortho-rhombic phase were observed irrespective of Nd/Sm ratio. The compositions of these two stable orthorombic phases having distinct lattic constants even with the same Nd/Sm ratio were estimated as 4BaO.5(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.18TiO2 and BaO.(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.4TiO2 with n=5 and n=4 in the system BaO.(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.TiO2, respectively. Consequently the composition BaO.(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.5TiO2 lies in the compatible triangle of 4BaO.5(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.18TiO2 and the second phases mentioned above. The microwave dielectric properties (~4 GHz) of BaO.(Nd1-xSmx)2O3.5TiO2 can be controlled effectively by adjusting Sm content : with increasing X from 0 to 0.7, both dielectric constant and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency decreased monotonically from 82 to 65 and from 91 (ppm/$^{\circ}C$) to -19(ppm/$^{\circ}C$), respectively, while unloaded Q(Qo) remained constant at about 2,600.

La-Ce method is one of new geochronological methods developed recently. La and Ce are one of the rare earth elements, and, with Sm-Nd system. La-Ce system is very useful in understanding the evolution processes of crust and mantle. In this paper, I introduce the basic concept of the La-Ce method, and apply it in clarifying LREE pattern of source material of leuco-granitic gneisses from the Imweon area, Kangwon-do, and K-rich granite from the Anshan area in Liaoning Province, NE China. Sm-Nd data on the Anshan K-rich granites give an age of $3.16{\pm}0.06$ Ga($2{\sigma}$), with initial $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$=$0.50846{\pm}0.00005$ (${\epsilon}_{Nd}$=-1.5). On the basis of Ce and Nd isotopic ratio, leucogranitic gneiss and K-rich granite has been fractionated from the source material which had had similar to CHUR (chundritic uniform reservoir). And the initial ${\epsilon}_{Nd}$ value suggest that the crustal formation age of the Liaoning Province area, NE China was early Archean.

As a basic study for the removal of oxygen in solid Nd metal by metal Ca vapour, by using the thermodynamic data such as ${\Delta}G-T$ diagrams and Nd-O and Nd-Ca equilibrium diagrams, the amount of residual oxygen in solid Nd metal formed based on deoxidation reaction by Ca vapour, instead of by direct contact of solid Nd metal and Ca solution, was determined. Deoxidation experiments were carried out for solid Nd metal in a temperature range of $890{\sim}970^{\circ}C$ for 1h to 4h and content of addition Ca of 0.6~1.8 g (5~15 wt% of solid Nd metal). As a result, it was found that as deoxidation temperature increased, dissolved oxygen decreased. Especially, it was observed that a small amount of Nd-Ca alloy liquid was formed on the surface of the solid Nd metal sample deoxidized at $970^{\circ}C$ for approximately 1 hour. Also, it was found that if the content of addition Ca was 1.8 g (15 wt% of solid Nd metal) the amount of produced Nd-Ca alloy increased slightly. However, for the Nd sample with which the deoxidation reaction was performed at $930^{\circ}C$ for 4h with content of addition of Ca of 1.5 g (13 wt% of Nd metal), the residual oxygen was found to decreased to 12.00 ppm.

The nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B alloys with low Nd content were prepared by rapid solidification technique. The alloys consist of both$\alpha$-Fe as the main phase and $Nd_2Fe_{14}B_1$ as a secondary phase and have an ultrafine grain structure of about 30 nm. The addition of Ga in $Nd_4Fe_{82}B_{10}Mo_3Cu_1$ alloy increases remanence up to 1.29 T and improves squareness. The nanocrystalline $Nd_5Fe_{81}B_9Mo_3Cu_1Ga_1$ alloy has a volume fraction of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B_1$ phase of around 35% due to the increase of Nd content and shows an improved coercivity. The remanence, coercivity and energy product of optimally annealed nanocrystalline $Nd_5Fe_{81}B_9Mo_3Cu_1Ga_1$ alloy are 1.24 T, 257.4 kA/m (3.23 kOe), and 100.3 kJ/ ㎥ (12.6 MGOe), respectively.
