The microstructure, electrical and dielectric characteristics of $ZnO-{Pr}_6{O}_11-{CoO}-{Dy}_2{O}_3$-based varistors were investigated without and with various metal oxide additives(NiO, MgO, Cr$_2$O$_3$). The average grain size decreased in the range of 18.4 $\backsim$ 11.5 $\mu$m, in order of NiO\longrightarrowMgO\longrightarrow{Cr}_2{O}_3$ and the density decreased in the range of 5.62 \backsim 5.33 $g/{cm}^3$ in order of NiO\longrightarrowCr$_2$O$_3$\longrightarrowMgO. While, the nonlinear exponent increased In the range of 19.8$\backsim$67.4 in order of NiO\longrightarrowMgO\longrightarrow${Cr}_2{O}_3$ and the leakage current decreased in the range of 25.6 $\backsim$ 1.2 $\mu$A in order of NiO\longrightarrow${Cr}_2{O}_3$\longrightarrowMgO. Among all varistors, the Cr$_2$O$_3$-added varistor exhibited the highest nonlinearity, with a nonlinear exponent of 67.4 and a leakage current of 1.2 $\mu$A. Furthermore, this varistor exhibited the lowest dielectric dissipation factor of 0.0407.

타일의 내마모성과 내산성을 향상시키기 위해 결정화유리가 최근에 새로운 유약 재료로서 소개되고 있다. 신 유약의 연구에 사용된 조성은 $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$ 상에 근접하는 CaO-ZrO$_2$-SiO$_2$계의 유리조성의 분말로, 마이크로파 가열 (2.45 GHz)에 의해서 900-120$0^{\circ}C$의 0-20분간 소성되어 평가되었다. 그 결과, 100$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소성한 시편은 내부 결정화를 나타내었으며, 결정상은 미세(5$mu extrm{m}$)한 크기를 갖는 $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$가 주 결정상이며, $Ca_2$ZrSi$_4$O$_{12}$, CaSiO$_3$, SiO$_2$의 세 상이 나타났다. 소결체의 미세구조는 사용한 유리분말의 입도의 영향을 받았다. 미세분말 (<38$\mu\textrm{m}$)을 이용한 소결체의 조직이 조세분말 (45-150$\mu\textrm{m}$)의 경우보다 수축율면에서 높았으며 낮은 기공도를 갖는 미세구조를 가졌다. 마이크로파에 의한 유리분말의 소성은 1000-120$0^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 10분 이내 결정화가 완료되는 급속 가열 공정이었으며 CaO-ZrO$_2$-SiO$_2$계 결정화 유리 제조에 균일한 체적가열을 할 수 있었다.

The effects of Mn2O3 and Y2O3 additives on the microstructure and dielectric properties of Sr(Zr, Ti)O3 have been investigated. Powders with Sr(Zr1-xTix)O3(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.1) composition were prepared by the conventional solid state processing from commercial TiO2 and precipitation-processed ZrO2. The powders containing sintering additives of Mn2O3 and Y2O3 were compacted and then sintered at 1,55$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 h to get>97% relative density. Mn2O3 suppressed the grain growth and Y2O3 enhanced the density of sintered body. The oxidation state of Mn ions were determined by a chemical wet method and EPR spectroscopy. Mn ions were present as Mn2+ and Mn4+ in SrZrO3, while as Mn3+ and Mn4+ in Ti-substituted Sr(Zr, Ti)O3. With the substitution of Ti, the lattice parameters of SrZrO3 decreased and its dielectric constant increased with remarkable decrease in Q value. The dielectric constant of Sr(Zr, Ti)O3 was in the range of 30 to 40, Q values 1,200~5,400 at 6 GHz and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency -67~100 ppm/K.

Catalytic wet oxidation of ppm levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water has been conducted using $TiO_2$-supported cobalt oxides at a given temperature and weight hourly space velocity. 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ might be the most promising catalyst for the wet oxidation at $36^{\circ}C$ although it exhibited a transient behavior in time on-stream activity. Not only could the bare support be inactive for the wet decomposition reaction, but no TCE removal also occurred by the process of adsorption on $TiO_2$ surface. The catalytic activity was independent of all particle sizes used, thereby representing no mass transfer limitation in intraparticle diffusion. Characterization of the $CoO_x$ catalyst by acquiring XPS spectra of both fresh and used Co surfaces gave different surface spectral features of each $CoO_x$. Co $2p_{3/2}$ binding energy of Co species exposed predominantly onto the outermost surface of the fresh catalyst appeared at 781.3 eV, which is very similar to the chemical states of $CoTiO_x$ such as $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$. The spent catalyst possessed a 780.3 eV main peak with a satellite structure at 795.8 eV. Based on XPS spectra of reference Co compound, the TCE-exposed Co surfaces could be assigned to be in the form of mainly $Co_3O_4$. XRD measurements indicated that the phase structure of Co species in 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst even before reaction is quite comparable to the diffraction lines of external $Co_3O_4$ standard. A model structure of $CoO_x$ present on titania surfaces would be $Co_3O_4$, encapsulated in thin-film $CoTiO_x$ species consisting of $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$, which may be active for the decomposition of TCE in a flow of water.

$(Zn_{1-x}Ca_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors doped with Ca were synthesized by solid state reaction method. $(Zn_{1-x}Ca_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors showed XRD patterns of Willemite structure. Also, $CaSiO_3$ structure and new peak near 610 nm in $(Zn_{1-x}Ca_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn with increasing value of x were observed from XRD and PL. The new peak near 610 nm in $(Zn_{1-x}Ca_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn with doping Ca was attributed to formation of $CaSiO_3$.

An absorption spectrometry coupled with flow injection analysis has been developed and tested for the analysis of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$/Nn$O_4^-$ mixtures. Even though one has to inject the sample twice into the FIA system and the process of the sample treatment is required to completely destroy the Mn$O_4^-$ ion for the analysis of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ion, the new method has definite advantages over the current method. It utilizes only a single analytical wavelength (570 nm) and enables one to construct calibration curves which accurately follow the Beer's law over wide ranges of analytical concentrations of both ions ($2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$8.0{\times}10^{-3}$M for Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ion, $2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$4.0{\times}10^{-3}$M for MnO4- ion).

$CaMoO_4$ crystals with ellipsoid, peanut, dumbbell, and notched sphere shapes were synthesized using a simple precipitation reaction. The morphology of $CaMoO_4$ crystals evolved from ellipsoids, through peanut-like structures and dumbbells, to notched spheres with increasing the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ and $MoO_4^{2-}$ ions. This morphology evolution of $CaMoO_4$ crystals is attributed to a fractal mechanism. Branched crystal growth started at both ends of the ellipsoids. The peanut-like and dumbbell morphologies were formed by the first and second fractal growths, respectively. Finally, the notched spheres were formed by further fractal growth of dumbbells.

The $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles were synthesized from a 0.1 M $K_2CrO_4$ and 0.1 M $BaCO_3$ solution with stirring for 10 h. The product was washed several times with acetone and heated to $700^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. At that time, the color of mixture was a greenish yellow. The graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were prepared with graphene and $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles by stirring in tetrahydrofuran and heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles, graphene/$BaCrO_4$ and heated graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites and heated graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were evaluated as a photocatalyst and discussed about kinetics study for the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue and rhodamine B under ultraviolet light irradiation at 254 nm.

Magnetic nanoparticles can potentially be used in drug delivery systems and for hyperthermia therapy. The applicability of $Fe_3O_4$, $CoFe_2O_4$, $MgFe_2O_4$, and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles for the same was studied by evaluating their magnetization, thermal efficiency, and biocompatibility. $Fe_3O_4$ and $CoFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large magnetization. $Fe_3O_4$ and $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited large induction heating. $MgFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles exhibited low magnetization compared to the other nanoparticles. $NiFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles were found to be cytotoxic, whereas the other nanoparticles were not cytotoxic. This study indicates that $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles could be the most suitable ones for hyperthermia therapy.
