$TiO_2$ is an environment-friendly semiconducting material, and it has photocatalytic and hydrophilic effect. There are a lot of reports on the photocatalytic characteristics of $TiO_2$, such as organic pollutants resolving, anti-bacterial, and self-purification material. In this paper, $TiO_2$ micron-sized powders were deposited on the glass by room temperature powder spray in vacuum process, so called aerosol deposition (AD), and nano-grained $TiO_2$ photocatalytic thin films were fabricated. The thickness of the films were controlled by changing the number of deposition cycle. Morphologies and characteristics of the AD-$TiO_2$ thin films were examined by SEM, TEM, XRD, and UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. As the thickness of $TiO_2$ films increased, surface roughness increased. By this increment, the reaction area between film and pollutant was enlarged, resulting in better photocatalytic property.

Recently, multiferroic materials gain much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties. These materials offer wide range of potential applications such as data storage, spintronic devices and sensors, where both electronic and magnetic polarizations can be coupled. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$ is typical because of the room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling in view of long-range magnetic- and ferroelectric-ordering temperatures. However, $BiFeO_3$ is well known to have large leakage current and small spontaneous polarization due to the existence of oxygen vacancies and other defects. Furthermore the magnetic moment of pure $BiFeO_3$ is very weak owing to its antiferromagnetic nature. Recently, various attempts have been performed to improve the multiferroic properties of $BiFeO_3$ through the co-doping at the A and the B sites, by making use of the fact that the intrinsic polarization and magnetization are associated with the lone pair of $Bi^{3+}$ ions at the A sites and the partially-filled 3d orbitals of $Fe^{3+}$ ions at the B sites, respectively. In this study, $BiFeO_3$, $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}FeO_3$, $BiFe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ and $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}Fe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ bulk compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Ho_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $NiO_2$ powders with the stoichiometric proportions were mixed, and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce the samples. The samples were immediately put into an oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 1 h. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The field-dependent and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer and superconducting quantum-interference device.

[ $ZrO_2+Y_2O_3$ ] 계 분말결정을 $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_O-YCl_33{\cdot}6H_2O$를 출발물질로 하여 공침법으로 합성하였다. 출발물질의 농도, 용액의 pH, 부분안정화제로 사용된 $Y_2O_3$의 양, 합성 후 소결온도 등 합성에 요구되는 실험변수에 따른 상 변이에 대한 연구결과를 바탕으로 실험조건을 고정시켜 3 mole% $Y_2O_3$를 포함하는 부분안정화 지르코니아 3YSZ를 합성할 수 있었다. 합성된 3YSZ의 소결특성에 따른 $ZrO_2$ 상전이에 대한 연구를 위하여 XRD, Raman, DTA 및 SEM을 사용하였다. 순수한 $ZrO_2$에 비하여 합성된 3YSZ는 $ZrO_2+Y_2O_3$ 계에서 $Y_2O_3$의 함량 면화에 따라 순수한 $ZrO_2$고온상의 단사정상에서 정방정상으로 상전이가 일어나게 되고 이때 Raman 스팩트럼이 낮은 파수쪽에서 현저하게 나타나는 것으로 쉽게 구분이 되었다.

Recently, multiferroic materials have attracted much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties and potential technological applications in magnetic/ferroelectric data storage systems, quantum electromagnets, spintronics, and sensor devices. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$, in particular, has received considerable attention because of its very interesting magnetoelectric properties for application to spintronics. Enhanced ferromagnetism was found by Fe-site ion substitution with magnetic ions. In this study, $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x=0 and 0.05) bulk ceramic compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Fe_3O_4$ and NiO powders were mixed with the stoichiometric proportions, and calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$. Then, the samples were directly put into the oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 20 min. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The Raman measurements were carried out with a Raman spectrometer with 514.5-nm-excitation Ar+-laser source under air ambient condition on a focused area of $1-{\mu}m$ diameter. The field-dependent magnetization and the temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer. The x-ray diffraction study demonstrates the compressive stress due to Ni substitution at the Fe site. $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ exhibits the rhombohedral perovskite structure R3c, similar to $BiFeO_3$. The lattice constant of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ is smaller than of $BiFeO_3$ because of the smaller ionic radius of Ni3+ than that of Fe3+. The field-dependent magnetization of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ exhibits a clear hysteresis loop at 300 K. The magnetic properties of $BiFe_{0.95}Ni_{0.05}O_3$ were improved at room temperature because of the existence of structurally compressive stress.

For the coating of diamond films on WC-Co tools, a buffer interlayer is needed because Co catalyzes diamond into graphite. W and Ti were chosen as candidate interlayer materials to prevent the diffusion of Co during diamond deposition. W or Ti interlayer of $1{\mu}m$ thickness was deposited on WC-Co substrate under Ar in a DC magnetron sputter. After seeding treatment of the interlayer-deposited specimens in an ultrasonic bath containing nanometer diamond powders, $2{\mu}m$ thick nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films were deposited at $600^{\circ}C$ over the metal layers in a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma CVD system. The cross-sectional morphology of films was observed by FESEM. X-ray diffraction and visual Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the NCD crystal structure. Micro hardness was measured by nano-indenter. The coefficient of friction (COF) was measured by tribology test using ball on disk method. After tribology test, wear tracks were examined by optical microscope and alpha step profiler. Rockwell C indentation test was performed to characterize the adhesion between films and substrate. Ti and W were found good interlayer materials to act as Co diffusion barriers and diamond nucleation layers. The COFs on NCD films with W or Ti interlayer were measured as less than 0.1 whereas that on bare WC-Co was 0.6~1.0. However, W interlayer exhibited better results than Ti in terms of the adhesion to WC-Co substrate and to NCD film. This result is believed to be due to smaller difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the related films in the case of W interlayer than Ti one. By varying the thickness of W interlayer as 1, 2, and $4{\mu}m$ with a fixed $2{\mu}m$ thick NCD film, no difference in COF and wear behavior but a significant change in adhesion was observed. It was shown that the thicker the interlayer, the stronger the adhesion. It is suggested that thicker W interlayer is more effective in relieving the residual stress of NCD film during cooling after deposition and results in stronger adhesion.

The LiFeP$O_4$ powder was synthesized by using the solid state reaction method with Fe($C_2O_4){\cdot}2H_2O,\;(NH_4)_2HPO_4,\;Li_2CO_3$, and chitosan as a carbon precursor material for a cathode of a lithium-ion battery. The chitosan added LiFePO4 powder was calcined at 350 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 5 hours and then 800 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 12 hours for the calcination. Then we calcined again at 800 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 12 hours. We characterized the synthesized compounds via the crystallinity, the valence states of iron ions, and their shapes using TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS. We found that the synthesized powders were carbon-coated using TEM images and the iron ion is substituted from 3+ to 2+ through XPS measurements. We observed voltage characteristics and initial charge-discharge characteristics according to the C rate in LiFeP$O_4$ batteries. The obtained initial specific capacity of the chitosan added LiFeP$O_4$ powder is 110 mAh/g, which is much larger than that of LiFeP$O_4$ only powder.

DC 스퍼터를 이용하여 은(Ag) 나노입자를 입도 0.2~3 ${\mu}m$ 크기를 갖는 페롭스카이트(Perovskite) $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSCF) 입자 표면에 코팅하여 복합재를 제조하였다. 제조된 LSCF/Ag 복합재에서 Ag 나노입자는 수 나노입자 크기로 형성되었으며 Ar가스 분위기에서 $800^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후에도 Ag입자가 응집되는 현상이 없어 안정적으로 증착되었음을 확인하였다. LSCF 표면에 Ag나노입자 코팅양이 2.11 wt.%까지 증가함에 따라 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FT-IR) 분광기의 파수가 크게 변하여 강한 결합이 형성되어 있으며, Ag 코팅 전후 결정 구조의 변화는 없으나 M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer 분광 분석으로 확인한 결과 $Fe^{4+}$ 이온이 감소하면서 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온이 증가하여 LSCF의 전자 가에 변화가 생김을 확인 할 수 있었다.

고전압 용 양극산화물 $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$는 고온에서 합성 시, 입자 내에 산소결함에 의한 불순물상을 만들게 된다. 불순물상은 불완전한 스피넬 구조를 형성하며 리튬이온의 삽입$\cdot$탈리를 방해하여 전극의 성능을 감소시킨다. 본 연구에서는 고온 열처리 시 생성되는 이러한 불순물상의 거동을 파악하기 위해 크롬을 치환한 $LiNi_{0.5-x}Mn_{1.5}Cr_xO_4(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05)$를 졸$\cdot$겔법을 이용하여 합성하여 고온 열분석을 실시하였다. 열분석 결과 크롬이 치환되지 않은 양극활물질은 산소결함에 의한 $2\%$의 무게 감소를 보였으나, 크롬이 치환된 경우 무게 감소분이 줄어들어 불순물 생성이 억제됨을 알 수 있었다. XRD 분석에서도 크롬이 치환된 경우 불순물 상이 억제됨을 나타내었으며 불순물상의 감소로 인해 크롬을 첨가한 양극활물질 $LiNi_{0.5-x}Mn_{1.5}Cr_xO_4$를 사용한 경우 충·방전 실험 시 가역 용량과 싸이클 안정성이 향상됨을 볼 수 있었다.

자체 제작한 고밀도(이론 밀도의 99%) ITO(I $n_2$ $O_3$:Sn $O_2$=90 wt%) 타깃과 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법을 이용하여 산소분압 $P_{o_{2}}$ (0 $P_{o_{2}}$ $\leq$$10^{-5}$ torr)와 성장 온도 Ts(10$0^{\circ}C$ $T_{s}$$\leq$35$0^{\circ}C$)를 변화시키면서 ITO 박막을 제작하고 전기적, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. ITO박막의 비저항은 제작 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하다가 $T_{s}$=30$0^{\circ}C$일 때 최저 비저항값 0.30 mΩ.cm를 나타내었고 $T_{s}$>30$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 약간 증가하였다. $T_{s}$=30$0^{\circ}C$에서 제작한 ITO 박막의 최대 전하 농도는 6.6$\times$$10^{20}$ /㎤이었다. $T_{s}$를 고정하고 ITO 박막 제작 시 사용한 산소분압이 증가함에 따라 전하농도, 전하유동도는 급격하게 감소하여 비저항이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다 ITO박막의 최저 비저항과 최대 전하 유동도는 각각 0.3 mΩ.cm와 39.3 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s였다. 또한 가시광 영역 (400~700 nm)에서 ITO박막의 광투과도는 80~90%로 높게 나타났다.나타났다.

고상 반응법을 이용하여 처음으로 $Li_2SrSiO_{4-{\alpha}}N_{\alpha}:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체를 제조하고, 제조된 시료들에 대한 결정성 및 광학적 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 제조된 시료들은 모두 230~530 nm의 넓은 영역에서 효율적인 여기 특성을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 시료들 모두 568 nm에서 최대 발광 세기를 보이는데 이는 현재 상용 중인 $YAG:Ce^{3+}$에 비하여 최대 발광 세기가 약 18 nm 장파장 영역으로 이동함을 의미한다. 따라서 450 nm의 빛을 발하는 청색 LED와 결합하면, $YAG:Ce^{3+}$를 사용하여 상용화된 기존의 백색광보다 보다 따듯한 느낌의 백색광원용 형광체로 활용될 수 있으리라 판단한다. 또한 질소의 원료 물질로 사용된 $Si_3N_4$의 분말크기가 마이크론인 경우에 광활성 이온인 $Eu^{2+}$가 첨가되지 않아도 모체발광이 일어난다는 것을 처음으로 알게 되었다.
