Hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide with excess water in the presence of excess isopropyl alcohol resulted in the formation of boehmite in independence of temperature of hydrolysis and aging. Stoichiometric and substoichiometric amount of water hydrolyzed aluminum isopropoxide to pseudo-boehmite and amorphous one, respectively. $\alpha$-Al2O3 with 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in median size was produced by calcination of boehmite, bseudo-boehmite and amorphous boehmite at 125$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$, and 115$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour, respectively. Singnificant reduction in particle size was found during transition from $\theta$-Al2O3 to $\alpha$-Al2O3. $\alpha$-Al2O3 produced in this study was relatively uniform spherical and its purity was found to be over 99.9%.

A Zr-based amorphous alloy specimen was produced by vacuum die casting process. The salt spray test was carried out using the specimens in the as-cast, $Al_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$ particle blasted state. Using these specimens, the SEM-EDX and XRD analyses, DSC measurement and bending strength test were conducted. After the salt spray test, the specimens were not experienced phase change and thermal characteristics of the alloys were remained unchanged. In the as-cast specimen, corrosion products were not observed. However, in the $Al_2O_3$ particle blasted specimen, pitting corrosion occurred and the detected corrosion products were $ZrCl_2$ and $NaZrO_3$. Due to the salt spray test, bending strength of the $Al_2O_3$ blasted specimens showed about 100 MPa lower strength than the other specimens. The bending fracture surface was vein pattern which was shown typically in the amorphous alloys.

본 연구에서는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지 응용을 위한 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층의 제조와 그의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 다결정 실리콘 씨앗층은 glass/Al/$Al_2O_3$/a-Si 구조를 이용하여 aluminum-induced layer exchange(ALILE) 고정으로 제조하였으며, 자연산화막부터 50 nm까지 다양한 크기로 $Al_2O_3$ 막두께를 변화시켜 알루미늄 유도 결정화 공정에서 막의 두께가 결정화 특성 및 결정결함, 결정크기에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, ALILE 공정으로 생성된 다결정 실리콘막의 결함은 $Al_2O_3$ 막의 두께가 증가할수록 함께 증가한 반면, 결정화 정도와 결정입자의 크기는 $Al_2O_3$막의 두께가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 본 실험에서는 16 nm 두께 이하의 앓은 $Al_2O_3$ 막의 구조에서 평균 약 $10\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 sub-grain 결정립을 얻었으며, 결정성은 <111> 방향의 우선 배향성 특성을 보였다.

In this work, we report the physical properties of amorphous $Al_2O_3$ thin films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) using trimethyl-aluminium (TMA) as the Al precursor at low temperatures. The thin films were deposited on Si substrates. The composition and the bonding structure of the amorphous $Al_2O_3$ films were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ellipsometer and UV-visible Spectrophotometer and MOCON.

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a new Al metalorganic precursor, dimethyl aluminum sec-butoxide ($C_{12}H_{30}Al_2O_2$), and water vapor ($H_2O$) as the reactant at deposition temperatures ranging from 150 to $300^{\circ}C$. The ALD process showed typical self-limited film growth with precursor and reactant pulsing time at $250^{\circ}C$; the growth rate was 0.095 nm/cycle, with no incubation cycle. This is relatively lower and more controllable than the growth rate in the typical $ALD-Al_2O_3$ process, which uses trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and shows a growth rate of 0.11 nm/cycle. The as-deposited $ALD-Al_2O_3$ film was amorphous; X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that its amorphous state was maintained even after annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$. The refractive index of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films ranged from 1.45 to 1.67; these values were dependent on the deposition temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ were stoichiometric, with no carbon impurity. The step coverage of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ film was perfect, at approximately 100%, at the dual trench structure, with an aspect ratio of approximately 6.3 (top opening size of 40 nm). With capacitance-voltage measurements of the $Al/ALD-Al_2O_3/p-Si$ structure, the dielectric constant of the $ALD-Al_2O_3$ films deposited at $250^{\circ}C$ was determined to be ~8.1, with a leakage current density on the order of $10^{-8}A/cm^2$ at 1 V.

This study presents the effect of applied pressure on the preform deformation during squeeze casting of $Al_2O_3$ short fiber reinforced aluminum alloy (AC8A) metal matrix composites. A preliminary model based on the general beam theory is suggested for the prediction of the preform deformation. Two different commercially available $Al_2O_3$ short fiber (Saffil, Kaowool) were used to study the influence of the fibers on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the squeeze cast $Al/Al_2O_3$ composites. The composites were fabricated with the applied pressure of 75 MPa which was found to be the optimum condition for the squeeze casting of the composites in this study. For the amorphous Kaowool fiber, hard crystalline Mullite phase was formed with heat treatment. Both of amorphous and the crystallized Kaowool fibers were used to fabricate $Al/Al_2O_3$ composites. Microhardness of crystallized Kaowool fiber revealed higher than that of the amorphous Kaowool fiber in the squeeze cast composites. It was also found that the wear resistance of Kaowool fiber reinforced composites increased with the amount of Mullite.

The compound, Ti3(Al,Si)C2, was synthesized by hot pressing a powder mixture of TiCX, Al and Si. Its oxidation at 900 and 1000 oC in air for up to 50 h resulted in the formation of rutile-TiO2, -Al2O3 and amorphous SiO2. During oxidation, Ti diffused outwards to form the outer TiO2 layer, and oxygen was transported inwards to form the inner mixed layer.

A $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor powder with stuffed tridymite structure was synthesized by glycine-nitrate combustion method. The luminescence, formation process and microstructure of the phosphor powder were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The XRD patterns show that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was an amorphous phase. However, a crystalline $SrAl_2O_4 $ phase was formed by calcining at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4h. From the SEM analysis, also, it was found that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was in irregular porous particles of about 50 ${\mu}m$, while the calcined phosphor was aggregated in spherical particles with radius of about 0.5 ${\mu}m$. The emission spectrum of as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor did not appear, due to the amorphous phase. However, the emission spectrum of the calcined phosphor was observed at 520 nm (2.384eV); it showed green emission peaking, in the range of 450~650 nm. The excitation spectrum of the $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor exhibits a maximum peak intensity at 360 nm (3.44eV) in the range of 250~480 nm. After the removal of the pulse Xe-lamp excitation (360 nm), also, the decay time for the emission spectrum was very slow, which shows the excellent longphosphorescent property of the phosphor, although the decay time decreased exponentially.

The properties of the powders of the system Al2O3-ZrO2-Y2O3 prepared by precipitation method were investigated. Al2(SO4)3$.$18H2O3, ZrOCl2$.$8H2O and YCl3$.$6H2O were used as starting materials. Amorphous aluminum hydrate prepared by precipitation method was completely transformed to alpha Al2O3 as a result of calcining at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr and gamma, delta and theta phases appeared as transition phases. In ZrO2-Y2O3 system prepared by co-precipitation method, the crystallization temperature of ZrO2 was increase with Y2O3 contents. The coupled crystallization occured in coprecipitated Al2O3-ZrO2-Y2O3 system, therefore the formation temperature of alpha Al2O3 and ZrO2-Y2O3 system. In this ternary system, the powder morphology showed a particular shape which was composed of large Al2O3 grains having small spherical ZrO2 particles within large Al2O3 grain and relatively large ZrO2 particles along the grian boundaries.
