In this paper, the $(Sr_{0.85}{\cdot}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$ of paraelectric grain boundary layer (GBL) ceramics were fabricated. The characteristics of electrical conduction and the thermally stimulated current(TSC) were measured respectively. The region I below 200[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction, the region II between 200[V/cm] and 1000[V/cm] can be explained by the Pool-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000[V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect. As a result, The origins of these peaks are that the ${\alpha}$ peak observed at $-20[^{\circ}C]$ looks like to be ascribed to the ionization excitation from donor level in the grain, and the ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ peak observed at $-20[^{\circ}C]$ appears to show up by detrap of the trapped carrier of border between the oxidation layer and the grain, and the ${\beta}$ peak observed at $80[^{\circ}C]$ seems to be resulted from hopping conduction of existing carrier in the trap site of the border between the oxidation and second phase.

Zr modified $(Ba_{1-x},Sr_x)TiO_3$ thin films as capacitor for high density DRAM were deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The films deposited at various chamber pressure exhibited a polycrystalline structure. The Zr/Ti ratio of the films increased significantly with decreasing the chamber pressure and this variation affected the microstructure and surface roughness of films When chamber pressure increased dielectric constant of the films effected due to decrease of Zr. The thin films prepared in this study show dielectric constant of 380 to 525 at 100KHz. The variation of capacitance and polarization measured as a function of bias voltage suggested that all films were paraelectric phases. Leakage current exhibited smaller value as chamber pressure decrease and the leakage current density of the films deposited above 10mTorr was $10^{-7}~10^{-8}A/cm^2$ order at 200kV/cm. $(Ba_{1-x},Sr_x)(Ti_{1-y},Zr_y)O_3$ thin films in this study appeared to be potential thin film capacitor for high density DRAM.

$(Bi_{1/2}Na_{1/2})TiO_3$-based ceramics have been intensively studied as lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. In this study, the piezoelectric properties and phase transition behaviors of BNT based solid solution $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{1-x}Ca_xTiO_3$ ($X=0.01{\sim}0.25$) were investigated. The morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) zone which BNT is transformed from rhombohedral to cubic structure was appeared by adding $CaTiO_3$ with 0.12 mol by the measurement of permittivity and X-ray diffraction. The behavior which ferroelectric BNT with adding $CaTiO_3$ was changed to antiferroelectric and paraelectric state was confirmed by the measurement ofhysterisis loop and depolarization temperature as a function of temperature. As $CaTiO_3$ concentration was increased, the phase transition temperature was decreased. The piezoelectric properties were highest at 0.01 mol of $CaTiO_3$ concentration. The electromechanical coupling factor($K_t$) and mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) were 42% and 254, respectively.

In this paper, the $(SrPb)(CaMg)TiO_3$-xBi_2O_3{\cdot}3TiO_2$ ceramics with paraelectric properties were fabricated by the mixed oxide method. In order to investigate the behavior of charged particles, the characteristics of electrical conduction and thermally stimulated current were measured respectively. As a result on characteristics of the electrical conduction, the leakage current was increased as measuring temperature was increased. At room temperature, the conduction current was divided into the three steps as a function of DC electric field. The first step was Ohmic region due to ionic conduction, below 15[kV/cm]. The second step was showed a saturation which seems to be related to a depolarizing field occuring in field-enforced ferroelectric phase, between 15[kV/cm] and 40[kV/cm]. The third step was attributed to Child's law related to spare charge which injected from electrode, above 40[kV/cm]. Thermally stimulated currents(TSC) spectra with various biasing fields exhibited three distinguished peaks that were denoted as ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'$ and ${\beta}$ peak, each of which appeared at nearby -30, 20 and 95[$^{\circ}C$] respectively. It is confirmed that the a peak was due to trap electron trapped in the grainboundary, and ${\alpha}'$ peak that was observed above only 1.5[kV/mm] was attributed to field-enforced ferroelectric polarization. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was identified as ion migration which caused the degradation.

Crystal structure of PbBi$_2$Nb$_2$$O_{9}$ and $Sr_{1.2}$$Bi_{1.8}$Ta$_2$$O_{9}$ were determined by Rietveld method using neutron diffraction data in the temperature range of 300 K~1273K. Phase transition temperature were measured from the dielectric permittivitytemperature curve. The PbBi$_2$Nb$_2$$O_{9}$ showed a phase transition at about 810 K. In the Sr-excess compound $Sr_{1.2}$$Bi_{1.8}$Ta$_2$$O_{9}$ the phase transition was suppressed down to room temperature. Several structural models were tested by the Rietiveld refinement. Based on the \`R\` values and the structural parameters, the B2cb model is judged to be the most feasible one for the high temperature phase at above 810 K of the PbBi$_2$Nb$_2$$O_{9}$. The $Sr_{1.2}$$Bi_{1.8}$Ta$_2$$O_{9}$ sample was refined to show the most reliable results by the Am2m model.sults by the Am2m model.

We prepared the PLT(28) thin film by using sol-gel method and investigated the structure and electrical properties of the film. With the XRD and AFM analyses, it is found that PLT(28) thin film annealed at 6sot has a complete perovskite structure and its surface roughness is about 22$\AA$. We prepared PLT(28) thin film on the Pt/TiO$_{x}$SiO$_2$/Si substrate, in which the specimen has a planar capacitor structure, and analyzed the electrical properties of PLT(28) thin film. In result, PLT(28) thin film has a paraelectric phase and its dielectric constant and loss tangent at 10kHz are 761 and 0.024, respectively. Also, the storage charge density and leakage current density of PLT(28) thin film at W are 134fC/$\mu$m2 and 1.01 $\mu$A/cm2, respectively. As a result of this, we concluded that the PLT(28) thin film is a promising material to be used as a capacitor dielectrics for next generation DRAM.M.

The structural changes occurring in the isothermal crystallization processes of polyethylene (PE), poly-oxymethylene (POM), and vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene (VDFTrFE) copolymer have been reviewed on the basis of our recent experimental data collected by the time-resolved measurements of synchrotron-sourced wide-angle (WAXS) and small-angle X-ray scatterings (SAXS) and infrared spectra. The temperature jump from the melt to a crystallization temperature could be measured at a cooling rate of 600-1,000 $^{\circ}C$/min, during which we collected the WAXS, SAXS, and infrared spectral data successfully at time intervals of ca. 10 sec. In the case of PE, the infrared spectral data clarified the generation of chain segments of partially disordered trans conformations immediately after the jump. These segments then became transformed into more-regular all-trans-zigzag forms, followed by the formation of an orthorhombic crystal lattice. At this stage, the generation of a stacked lamella structure having an 800-${\AA}$-long period was detected in the SAXS data. This structure was found to transfer successively to a more densely packed lamella structure having a 400-${\AA}$-long period as a result of the secondary crystallization of the amorphous region in-between the original lamellae. As for POM, the formation process of a stacked lamella structure was essentially the same as that mentioned above for PE, as evidenced from the analysis of SAXS and WAXS data. The observation of morphology-sensitive infrared bands revealed the evolution of fully extended helical chains after the generation of lamella having folded chain structures. We speculate that these extended chains exist as taut tie chains passing continuously through the neighboring lamellae. In the isothermal crystallization of VDFTrFE copolymer from the melt, a paraelectric high-temperature phase was detected at first and then it transferred into the ferroelectric low-temperature phase at a later stage. By analyzing the reflection profile of the WAXS data, the structural ordering in the high-temperature phase and the ferroelectric phase transition to the low-temperature phase of the multi-domain structure were traced successfully.

The ceramic capacitor was fabricated by $(Ba_{0.85}Ca_(0.15)TiO_3+ZnO$ + ZnO(from 0.1 to 0.4 mol ratio). The electrical and structural properties of ceramic capacitor for high voltage application was studied in this study. The relative rensity of ceramics capacitor has shown high in all specimen. The grain was a small size from $1.0[\mum]$ to $1.22[\mum]$ and it was increased with ZnO at 0.3 mol ratio. It was stabilized that the temperature coefficient of ceramic capacitor to change temperature had below 100[ppm] at 0.12~10[kHz]. The dielectric reIaxation time was decreased by interface polarization over $110[^{\circ}C]$ and it was increased by space polarization of paraelectric layer below $110[^{\circ}C]$. The insulating layer was increased with ZnO and dielectric constant to voltage was stabilized by 0.1[%].0.1[%].
