Long lasting phosphor materials are in great demand for their applications in the area of light emitting diodes (LEDs), commercial displays and warning signals. After glow longevity, brightness, photo-resistance and chemical and environment stability are most important qualities that are desired for these materials. Alumina as host lattice with various rare earth elements has been found to be good at the same time inexpensive material for the synthesis of the phosphor materials. This communication explored the effect of mixed rare earth metal on the luminescence properties of these materials for the first time. Various permutations and combinations of $Sr^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ have been investigated in order to achieve robust and high luminescence characteristics in the tailored phosphor materials.

Austenitic stainless steels such as AISI 316L have been used in equipment in which fluid flows at high speeds which can induce cavitation erosion on metallic surfaces due to the collapse of cavities, where the collapse is caused by the sudden change of local pressure within the liquid. Usually AISI 316L is susceptible to cavitation erosion. This research focuses on developing a better material to replace the AISI 316L used in equipment with high speed fluid flow, such as impellers. The effects of Rare Earth Metal (REM) additions on the cavitation erosion-corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steels were studied using metallographic examination, the potentiodynamic anodic polarization test, the tensile test, the X-ray diffraction test and the ultrasonic cavitation erosion test. The experimental alloys were found to have superior mechanical properties due to interstitial solid solution strengthening, by adding high nitrogen (0,4%), as well as by the refinement of phases and grains induced by fine REM oxides and oxy-sulfides. Corrosion resistance decreases in a gentle gradient as the REM content increases. However, REM containing alloys show superior corrosion resistance compared with that of other commercial alloys (SAF 2507, AISI 316L). Owing to their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, the alloys containing REM have high cavitation erosion-corrosion resistance.

Thermoelectic properties of the typical thermoelectric host materials, the tellurides and selenides, are known to be noticeably changed by their volume change due to the strain [1]. In the bismuth telluride ($Bi_2Te_3$) crystal, a substitution of rare-earth element by replacing one of the Bi atoms may cause the change of the lattice parameters while remaining the rhombohedral structure of the host material. Using the first-principles approach by the precise full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method [2], we investigated the Ce substitution effect on the thermoelectric transport coefficients for the bismuth telluride, employing Boltzmann's equation in a constant relaxation-time approach fed with the FLAPW wave-functions within the rigid band approximation. Depending on the real process of re-arrangement of atoms in the cell to reach the equilibrium state, $CeBiTe_3$ was found to manifest a metal or a narrow bandgap semiconductor. This feature along with the strong correlation effect originated by the 4f states of Ce affect significantly on the thermoelectric properties. We showed that the position of the strongly localized f-states in energy scale (Fig. 1, f-states are shaded) was found to alter critically the transport properties in this material suggesting an opportunity to improve the thermoelectric efficiency by tuning the external strain which may changing the location of the f-sates.

Oxide semiconductor gas sensors are widely used for detecting toxic, explosive, and flammable gases due to their simple structure, cost-effectiveness, and potential integration into compact devices. However, their reliable gas detection is hindered by a longstanding issue known as humidity dependence, wherein the sensor resistance and gas response change significantly in the presence of moisture. This problem has persisted since the inception of oxide semiconductor gas sensors in the 1960s. This paper explores the root causes of humidity dependence in oxide semiconductor gas sensors and presents strategies to address this challenge. Mitigation strategies include functionalizing the gas-sensing material with noble metal/transition metal oxides and rare-earth/rare-earth oxides, as well as implementing a moisture barrier layer to prevent moisture diffusion into the gas-sensing film. Developing oxide semiconductor gas sensors immune to humidity dependence is expected to yield substantial socioeconomic benefits by enabling medical diagnosis, food quality assessment, environmental monitoring, and sensor network establishment.

지난해 9월7일 일본의 센카쿠열도(중국명 댜오위다오) 부근에서 중국어선이 조업을 하던 중, 일본 순시선이 영해침범 혐의로 중국어선에 정선을 명령하자 순시선을 들이받는 사건이 발생했다. 순시선은 영해를 침범한 혐의로 중국어선을 오키나와로 나포했고, 이후 이 사건은 일본과 중국의 영토문제, 외교 및 경제 갈등으로 확산되었다. 이번 사태의 핵심에는 센카쿠 열도에서 일어난 사건에 국내법을 적용, 사법 처리하는 선례를 남기면서 자국의 '실효 지배'라는 사실을 국제무대에 알리고자 했던 일본의 속내와 이 지역을 '국제분쟁지역화' 하고자 한 중국의 속내가 얽혀있었다. 이러한 갈등 과정에서 양국 정상들의 회담이 무산되고 중국과 홍콩에서 반일시위가 일어나는 등 대립이 수개월간 지속되다 중국이 일본에 희토류 수출중단이라는 초강경 경제보복을 하자마자 일본은 무조건적으로 중국어선 선장을 석방하고 이 사건을 마무리 했다. 이 사건을 계기로 전문가는 물론 많은 일반 사람들까지도 "희토류"라는 것이 어떤 물질이며, 어디에 쓰이며, 얼마나 중요한 것인지를 인식하게 되었다. 최근 중국정부의 희토류관련 정책에 따라 희토류 가격이 급격히 오르면서, 세계적으로 큰 혼란을 야기하고 있다. 이에 본 글에서는 희토류 가격파동과 향후 전망에 대해서 고찰하였다.

Doppler broadening spectrometer for positron annihilation experiment(DBPAS) has been used to characterize nano size defect structures in materials. DBPAS measures the concentration, spatial distribution, and size of open volume defects in the rare-earth intensifying screen materials. The screens were exposed by X-ray varying the exposed doses from 3, 6, 9, and 12 Gy with 6 W and 15 MV respectively and also irradiated by 37 MeV proton beams ranging from 0 to $10^{12}ptls$. The S parameter values increased as the exposed time and the energies increased, which indicated the defects were generated more. The S parameters of the samples with X-rays varied from 0.5098 to 0.5108, on the other hand, as proton beams varied from 0.4804 to 0.4821.

Resins were synthesized by mixing N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 macrocyclic ligand attached to styrene (2th petroleum in 4th class hazardous materials) divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer with crosslink of 1%, 2%, 6%, and 12% by substitution reaction. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), surface area, and IR-spectroscopy. The effects of pH, equilibrium arrival time, dielectric constant of solvent and crosslink on adsorption of metal ions by the synthetic resin adsorbent were investigated. The metal ions were showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 4. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol was in increasing order uranium (VI) > zinc (II) > europium (III) ions. The uranium ion adsorbed in the order of 1%, 2%, 6%, and 12% crosslink resin and adsorption of resin decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constant of solvents.

The relatively low conductivity of conventional Mg-Al alloys often limits their areas of application. Therefore, several attempts to develop new high-conductivity magnesium alloys have been made recently. In this research, A Ce-rich rare-earth (RE)material and zinc were added to magnesium which contained no aluminum. As the RE and Zn content were increased, both the hardness and tensile strength were gradually increased, despite the fact that the electrical conductivity decreased slightly. The effects of an aging treatment on the conductivity and mechanical properties of Mg-RE-Zn alloys were also investigated. The electrical conductivity did not change according to the heat treatment conditions; however, the mechanical properties could be enhanced by proper aging heat treatments.
