Geochemical characteristics of environmental toxic elements at the Narim mine area were investigated on the basis of major, minor, rare earth element geochemistry and mineralogy. Ratios of $Al_2O_3/Na_2O$ and $K_2O/Na_2O$ in soils and sediments range from 11.57 to 22.21 and from 1.86 to 3.93, and are partly negative and positive correlation against $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ (3.41 to 4.78), respectively. These suggested that sediment source of host granitic gneiss could be due to rocks of high grade metamorphism originated by sedimentary rocks. Characteristics of some trace and rare earth elements of V/Ni (0.33 to 1.95), Ni/Co (2.00 to 6.50), Zr/Hf (11.27 to 53.10), La/Ce (0.44 to 0.55), Th/Yb (4.07 to 7.14), La/Th (2.35 to 3.93), $La_N/Yb_N$ (6.58 to 13.67), Co/Th (0.63 to 2.68), La/Sc (3.29 to 5.94) and Sc/Th (0.49 to 1.00) are revealed a narrow range and homogeneous compositions may be explained by simple source lithology. Major elements in all samples are enriched $Al_2O_3$, MgO, $TiO_2$ and LOI, especially $Fe_2O_3$ (mean=7.36 wt.%) in sediments than the composition of host granitic gneiss. The average enrichment indices of major and rare earth elements from the mining drainage are 2.05 and 2.91 of the sediments and are 2.02 and 2.60 of the soils, normalizing by composition of host granitic gneiss, respectively. Average composition (ppm) of minor and/or environmental toxic elements in sediments and soils are Ag=14 and 1, As=199 and 14, Cd=22 and 1, Cu=215 and 42, Pb=1770 and 65, Sb=18 and 3, Zn=3333 and 170, respectively, and extremely high concentrations are found in the subsurface sediments near the ore dump. Environmental toxic elements were strongly enriched in all samples, especially As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn. The level of enrichment was very severe in mining drainage sediments, while it was not so great in the soils. Based on the EPA value, enrichment index of toxic elements is 8.63 of mining drainage sediments and 0.54 of soils on the mining drainage. Mineral composition of soils and sediments near the mining area were partly variable being composed of quartz, mica, feldspar, amphibole, chlorite and clay minerals. From the gravity separated mineralogy, soils and sediments are composed of some pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, goethite and various hydroxide minerals.

In diffusion process exhaust line during semiconductor manufacturing process, In order to improve the transportation efficiency in the piping by removing "The reaction by-product, $ZrO_2$ and The unreacted material, TEMAZ, TMA, $O_3$, etc" and "Powder being deposited", the piping temperature was raised to $80^{\circ}C$ or more by using the heater jacket, and the bellows at the rear end of the vacuum pump ruptured. So conducted a case study and try to prevent the similar accidents from occurring through case studies. The causes of the accident were analyzed as follows: the inflow of outside air due to the generation of a gap on the suction side of the vacuum pump and heating the pipe with the heater jacket resulted in the overpressure in the pipe due to the volumetric expansion of the gas generated by decomposition of the unreacted TEMAZ, It can be assumed that the most vulnerable bellows of the piping has been ruptured. In order to prevent such accidents, This study is aimed to identify the cause of pipeline rupture accident and to establish safety measures for the prevention of similar accidents by evaluating physical hazards of TEMAZ, which is assumed to be the cause of pipe rupture accident.

A full retention of the tetragonal phase with coarse grains $(50\~60\;{\mu}m)$ was possible with the specimen $ZrO_2-1.9\;mol\%\;Y_2O_3$. In these coarse grains, $\{101\}_t$ annealing twins were frequently observed, although they do not exist in the usual fine grained specimens. The morphology and growth rate of the isothermally formed individual products are studied at an optical microscopic level. The habit planes of both products are also identified by performing two-surface trace analysis on the grains whose orientations are determined by the Electron Back Scattering Pattern (EBSP) method. The morphologies of isothermal martensite were well-defined thin plates and lenticular types. The growth rate in their longitudinal directions was quite slow and temperature-dependent. A two-surface trace analysis, incorporated with the EBSP method, identified the habit planes near $\{013\}_c$, in agreement with previous reports obtained from TEM works.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (TZP) sintered bodies, which made by pressureless and spark plasma sintering techniques, were investigated using XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. In the spark plasma sintered samples, the TZP grains were equiaxed type including many sub-grain boundaries regardless of sintering conditions. The biaxial strength of TZP having an average of 80 nm grains in diameter was high in value with 1025 MPa, but fracture toughness showed a low value due to the absence of a fracture toughening mechanism such as transformation toughening. In the Pressureless Sintered (PLSed) samples, the grain size of TZP was strongly dependent on the sintering temperature; i.e., it gradually increased as the sintering temperature increased. The value of fracture toughness increased as the grain size increased by the stress-induced phase transformation and Borne crack deflection.

The effects of high energy ball-milling (HEBM) on the sintering behavior and piezoelectric properties of 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ doped 0.8Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}$)$O_3$-0.2Pb($Zr_{0.475}Ti_{0.525}$)$O_3$ (PMN-PZT) ceramics were investigated. It was found that HEBM treatment was quite effective to reduce the average particle size down to 300 nm, leading to increased density as well as enhanced piezoelectric properties of a sintered specimen even though prolonged HEBM resulted in unwanted secondary phases that caused a degradation of piezoelectric properties. The dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), piezoelectric coupling factor ($k_p$) and piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ of 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ doped PMN-PZT ceramics prepared via HEBM for 10 h reached 2040, 0.68 and 554 pC/N, respectively.

Finned segment, with which are lined inner wall of the turbine combustors, are subject to severe degradation when they are exposed to a hostile environmment at elevated temperature. To protect the finned segment from this environment and to maintain good mechanical properties of components at high temperature, they are preferred to be coated. The most governing factor for the durability of coatings used in the high temperature is the microstructure of coatings; these are splat from, distibution of microcacks, size and distribution of pores, thickness of coating layer, adhesion between coating layer, and oxidation of band coating. In this study, based on the evaluation of the imported finned segment, new finned segment segment was manufactured with optimum plasma spraying parameters, and their properties were examined. Using $ZrO_2(8wt$Y_2O_3)$,/TEX> powder for ceramic coating and 67Ni-22Cr-10Al-0.5Y mixing powder for bond coating, thickness of ceramic and bond coating layer were varied in order to find optimum condition, the results showed that B2T4(bond coating : 100~250$\mu\textrm{m}$, ceramic coating : 250~300$\mu\textrm{m}$) was the best among the specimens tested. Compared to the imported finned segment, B2T4 has better bond strength, hardness, and isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance.

K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ films with Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃PZT buffer layer on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate were fabricated by sol-gel and spin-coating method. Structural and electrical properties were measured with variation of the sintering temperature, and the applicability to microwave materials was investigated. All K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ films showed a cubic crystal structure. Average grain size was about 123~193 nm and average thickness of the K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ films was approximately 366 nm. Through the AFM results, root mean square roughness (Rrms) of all K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ films was around 6 nm. All K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ films showed a tendency to increase dielectric loss as frequency increased. As the sintering temperature increased, tunability with an applied DC voltage indicated a decreasing tendency. Tunability and temperature coefficient of the K(Ta_0.80Nb_0.20)O₃ film sintered at 700 ℃ showed good values of 22.1% at 10 V, -0.594/℃.

Recently, SrBi$_{2}$Ta$_{2}$ $O_{9}$(SBT) and Pb(Zr,Ti) $O_{3}$(PZT) were much attracted as materials of capacitor for ferroelectric random access memory(FRAM) with higher read/ write speed, lower power consumption and nonvolartility. SBT thin film has appeared as the most prominent fatigue free and low operation voltage. To highly integrate FRAM, SBT thin film has to be etched. A lot of papers have been reported over growth of SBT thin film and its characteristics. However, there are few reports about etching SBT thin film owing to difficult of etching ferroelectric materials. SBT thin film was etched in CF$_{4}$Ar plasma using magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma (MEICP) system. In order to investigate the chemical reaction on the etched surface of SBT thin films, X-ray Photoelecton spectrosocpy (XPS) and Secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS) was performed.
