In this paper, PLZT Ceramics were fabricated by two stage sintering method whose first stage vacuum hot pressing and second stage PbO atmosphere sintering. Using Graphite Mould instead of Alumina Mould in first stage prevented the adhision between PLZT substrate and the mould. The grain sizes of PLZT Ceramics were controlled by varying the hot pressing time and second sintering time.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for low loss and low temperature sintering multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PZN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using two stage calcination method and $Li_2CO_3$, $Bi_2O_3$ and CuO as sintering aids and their piezoelectric characteristics were investigated according to the 2nd calcination and sintering temperature. At the calcination temperature of $750^{\circ}C$ and sintering temperature of $930^{\circ}C$, density, electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$), mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$), Dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) and piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) of specimen showed the optimum value of $7.94g/cm^2$ 0.581, 1554, 1555 and 356pC/N, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system with varying in size of carbon source was investigated. A continuous reaction sintering process using Si melt infiltration method was adopted to control the reaction sintering time effectively. It was found that ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system was directly affected by the size of carbon source. In the Si melt-C-SiC system with large carbon source ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism could be divided into two stages depending on the reaction sintering time: in early stage of reaction sintering carbon dissolution in Si melt and precipitation of ${\beta}$-SiC was occurred preferentially and then SIC nucleation and growth was controlled by diffusion of carbon throughy the ${\beta}$-SiC layer formed on graphite particle. Furthmore a dissolution rate of graphite particles in Si melt could be accelerated by the infiltration of Si melt through basal plane of graphite crystalline.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for low loss multilayer piezoelectric actuator application, $Pb(Zn_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3-Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (abbreviated as PZW-PMN-PZT)ceramics according to the amount of $MnO_2$ addition were fabricated using two-stage calcinations method. And also, their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. At the 0.2 wt% $MnO_2$ added PZW-PMN-PZT ceramics sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, density, electromechanical coupling factor $k_p$, dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$, piezoelectric $d_{33}$ constant and mechanical quality factor $Q_m$ showed the optimum value of $7.84g/cm^3$, 0.543, 1,392, 318.7 pC/N, 1,536, respectively for low loss multilayer ceramics actuator application.

PLZT ceramics of composition La/Zr/Ti=X/65/35(X=5-10 at.%) were fabricated by two state sintering technique.Transparent PLZT ceramics were obtained in the composition above 8 at. % La. Variations of electrooptic properties in the compositions between 8 at. % and 9 at. % La were able to be expected from the significant differences of P-E hysteresis curve and the changes of dielectric phase transition. The range of birefringence of 8/65/35 specimen was 4.08${\times}$10-3. Domain switching of 9/65/35 specimen was agreed with the applied electric pulse because input pulse signal corresponds to optical pulse response.

Densification and grain growth have been investigated in 5 wt% $U_3O_8$ seeded $UO_2$ and compared with those of the common $UO_2$ pellet. $UO_2$ compacts and $U_3O_8$ seeded $UO_2$ compacts were sintered at $1300{\sim}1700^{\circ}C$ for 0 h to 4 h. Density and grain size of the sintered pellets were measured by the water immersion method and the image analyzer, respectively. The seeded pellet has a slightly lower density during the intermediate sintering stage. However, the difference of density between two pellets decreases to about 0.5%TD with increasing the sintering temperature. The grain size of the two pellets is similar until $1600^{\circ}C$ but that of the seeded pellet rapidly increases with increasing the sintering temperature.

Temperature dependences of the dielectric constant K(T), remanent polarization $P_{r}$, (T), effective birefringence overbar .DELTA.n(T), transmitted light intensity and quadratic electro optic coefficient R(T) of the two-stage sintered xBa(L $a_{1}$2/N $b_{1}$2/) $O_{3}$-(1-x)Pb(Z $r_{y}$ $Ti_{1-y}$) $O_{3}$(x=0.085, 0.09, 0.40.leq.y.leq.0.70) ceramics were investigated. Increasing the PbZr $O_{3}$ contents, the crystal structure of a specimen was changed from a tetragonal phase to a rhombohedral and cubic phase, and the phase transition was showed a diffuse phase transition(DPT) characteristics. In the compositions which located on the PE-FE phase boundary, the discrepancy was observed between the Curie temperature and temperature which a microscopic polarization and effective birefringence were disappeared.red.d.

2단계하소법에 의해 낮은 하소온도에서 미세하고도 균일한 PZT분말을 합성하였다. 우선 Zr $O_{2}$와 Ti $O_{2}$ 혼합분말을 1차하소하여 (Z $r_{0.53}$ $Ti_{0.47}$) $O_{3}$(ZTO) 분말을 합성하고 이 ZTO 고용분말에 PbO와 N $b_{2}$ $O_{5}$을 혼합한 후 650-800.deg.C에서 2시간 하소하여 PZT 분말을 합성하였는데 얻어진 분말은 고상반응법에 비해 미세할 뿐만 아니라 XRD 분석결과 710.deg.C의 낮은 하소온도에서도 PZT 단일상을 나타내었다. 2단계하소법에 의해 하소온도를 낮출 수 있는 주된 이유로는 고상반응법에서는 중간생성물인 PbTi $O_{3}$상의 생성이 수반됨으로 850.deg.C 이상 되어야만 안전한 PZT가 생성될 수 있는 점을 들 수 있다. 또 2단계하소법에 의하면 950.deg.C이하의 낮은 소결온도에서도 치밀화가 미루어지는 소결이 가능함을 알 수 있었는데 이와같이 소결온도를 낮출 수 있는 것은 고상반응법에 비해 미세한 PZT 분말을 사용하였기 때문이라 풀이된다.이된다.

After making the light modulator using the BLN-PZT 9.0/65/35 specimen which has the slim-loop hysteresis characteristics and quadratic electro-optic characteristics, switching and spectral response characteristics were investigated. As the results of switching characteristics of the light modulator, it was found that the transmitted light intensity was modulated by both AC and pulse voltage. From the possibility of the selective transmission of the RGB(Red, Green, Blue) spectrum with electric field, the application for the light modulator, light shutter and color filter was expected.
