Fossil legumes of Albizia miokalkora Hu et Chaney (Mimosoideae) were found in the Miocene Duho Formation of the Yeonil Group distributed along the coast of Yeonil Bay in the Pohang area. The legume is flat and long and has 5-7 rounded seeds. The legumes of Albizia miokalkora are rare in the Cenozoic floras of the world and only known to Middle Miocene of East Asia. The fossil Albizia may use one of the important taxa to construct the biogeographic history of East Asia. This discovery is the first record of Albizia from the Neogene strata of Korea.

Trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}=Eu^{3+}\;and\;Tb^{3+}$) ions activated $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel process. After annealing at $1,500^{\circ}C$, the XRD patterns of the phosphor confirmed their monoclinic structure. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ doped $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphor shows the broad-band excitations in the shorter wavelength region due to charge transfer band of completely filled $O^{2-}$ to the partially filled $Eu^{3+}$ ions and f-d transitions of $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra show that the reddish-orange ions and green emission for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. Owing to the importance of thermal quenching property in the technological parameters, the temperature-dependent luminescence properties of these phosphors were measured for examing the suitability of their applications in the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition to those measurements, the cathodoluminescence properties were examined by changing the acceleration voltage and filament current. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of these phosphors were close proximity to those of commercially available phosphors for LED and field emission display devices.

The effect of plasma operational parameters for the determination of rare earth elements(REE) by means of inductively coupled plasma(ICP) spectrometry was investigated. While the increase in the flow rate of carrier gas argon enhanced the sensitivity and lowered the detection limit, significant ionization interferences were observed. The decrease in RF power increased the signal to background ratio. The observation point showing the lowest ionization interference was slightly higher than the position where the spatial profile of the analyte reached the maximum. The detection limits of the spectral lines commonly used for the determination of REE were measured and the spectral lines relatively free from spectral interferences were chosen.

Purpose: X ray irradiates material for dose distribution confirmation through material color variation to evaluate about possibility. Materials and Methods: That is rare earth material to pure KCl and KCl impurity Eu adding 0.5mol% by Czochralski method each single crystal grow and observed color variation of KCl X ray irradiation use of linear accelerator. Results: High energy X ray irradiation KCl:Eu show the blue fluorescence with purple color that pure KCl single crystal can confirm by show was not observed, but was colored violet. Conclusion: Colors variation of KCl founds stable color center from radiation and this color variation will be used usefully to X ray measurement material and phantom.

In this paper, we investigated electrical and physical characteristics of nickel silicide using rare-earth metals(Er, Yb, Tb, Dy), Incorporated Ytterbium into Ni-silicide is proposed to reduce work function of Ni-silicide for nickel silicided schottky barrier diode (Ni-silicided SBD). Nickel silicide makes ohmic-contact or low schottky barrier height with p-type silicon because of similar work function (${\phi}_M$) in comparison with p-type silicon. However, high schottky barrier height is formed between Ni-silicide and p-type substrate by depositing thin ytterbium layer prior to Ni deposition. Even though the ytterbium is deposited below nickel, ternary phase $Yb_xN_{1-x}iSi$ is formed at the top and inner region of Ni-silicide, which is believed to result in reduction of work function about 0.15 - 0.38 eV.

Single screen-film systems have been used to soft tissue radiography, especially to mammo-graphy, for the Purpose of reducing patient dose, Recently, by the development of rare earth screens, they are being used to general radiography including stomach radiography. Single screen-film systems have lower speeds, but higher resolutions than double screen-film systems. And so, they can produce high image quality in oblique radiography and tomography. Authors have tested basic and physical characteristics of sigle screen-film systems, and applied them in clinical fields. Hereupon, we evaluate the sin91e rare earth screen-film systems very practicable, because they have higher speeds and higher image quality than double screen-film systems.

Electronic and magnetic proper tis of the rare-earth transition metal compound, $LaCo_{13}$, are investigated by performing self-consistent local density functional LMTO (linearized muffin-tin orbital) band structure calculations for both paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases of $LaCo_{13}$. The calculated magnetic moments for the two types of Co atoms, Co I and Co II, are 1.34 and $1.65{\mu}_{B}$, respectively. The average magnetic moment of Co atoms in the ferromagnetic phase of $LaCo_{13}$ is estimated to be $1.60{\mu}_{B}$, which is in fairly good agreement with the experimental values, $1.56~1.68{\mu}_{B}$.

Effects of E$_2$O$_3$. HO$_2$O$_3$ and Dy$_2$O$_3$ addition on dielectric properties of non-reducible BaTiO$_3$ based X7R dielectrics with Ni electrode have been studied in a reduced atmosphere. As the content of rare-earth with E$_2$O$_3$. HO$_2$O$_3$, Dy$_2$O$_3$ was less than 3wt%, The TCC(Temperature Capacitance Change) and insulation resistance characteristics were improved by compensate the oxygen vacancies due to occupy either the Ba or Ti site. We developed the composition of X7R (EIA standard) for higher capacitance MLCC which had high reliability electric properties by the addition of Er ion into BaTiO$_3$ + MgO + Y2O$_3$ + MnO + (Ba$\sub$0.4/Ca$\sub$0.6/)SiO$_3$ composition.

Nanosized powders of trimetallic orthoferrites containing La and Sm in different ratios were synthesised by the thermal decomposition at low temperatures of the corresponding hexacyanocomplexes. The precursors and their decomposition products were analyzed by simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Single phase trimetallic precursors and oxides were obtained. The crystal structure of the perovskitic oxides was orthorhombic, and the lattice parameters were affected by the ionic size of the rare earth elements present in the oxides. Raman spectroscopy showed a disorder effect in the vibrational bands with increasing the La content.

We studied feasibility of three-dimensional optical memory by utilizing femtosecond laser-induced changes of transmission in photopolymers and photoluminescence in Eu and Sm ion doped sodium borate glasses. We produced transmission change by two photon absorption and obtained sub-Um size spots in photopolymers using 780 nm modelocked Ti-sapphire laser pulses. We also changed valence state of Eu and Sm ions by multi-photon absorption and achieved $\~{\mu}m$ sized spot formation in Sm-doped glasses.
