리튬이온이차전지용 음극활물질 $Li_4Sn_xTi_{5-x}O_{12}$ 화합물을 high energy ball milling (HEBM)법을 사용하여 제조하였다. $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$에 $SnO_2$의 첨가량을 달리하여 혼합 제조 후, 열처리를 통하여 합성하였다. 본 연구는 Sn의 첨가물에 따른 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$의 전기화학적 성능의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 제조된 시료들의 물리적 특성을 조사하기 위해 XRD, SEM, PSA 등의 분석장비를 사용하였다. 충/방전 시험기를 사용하여 1.0~3.0 V 전압범위에서 제조된 활물질의 충/방전 특성을 알아보았다. 열처리 온도에 따라 합성한 $Li_4Sn_xTi_{5-x}O_{12}$의 구조적 특성과 전기화학적 성능을 볼 때, 합성 열처리 온도는 $800^{\circ}C$가 필요함을 확인하였으며, 합성물질 크기의 분포는 $0.2{\sim}0.6\;{\mu}m$임을 확인하였다. 충/방전 실험을 50 cycle 동안 상온에서 진행하였으며, Sn 첨가조건에 따른 가장 우수한 성능을 나타낸 초기용량은 168 mAh/g으로 측정 되었으며, 1.55 V(Li/$Li^+$) 영역에서 평탄전압을 나타내었다.

Two sintering methods of a pressureless sintering and a spark-plasma sintering are tested to densify the Fe-TiC composite powders which are fabricated by high-energy ball-milling. A powder mixture of Fe and TiC is prepared in a planetary ball mill at a rotation speed of 500 rpm for 1h. Pressureless sintering is performed at 1100, 1200 and $1300^{\circ}C$ for 1-3 hours in a tube furnace under flowing argon gas atmosphere. Spark-plasma sintering is carried out under the following condition: sintering temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$, soaking time of 10 min, sintering pressure of 50 MPa, heating rate of $50^{\circ}C$, and in a vacuum of 0.1 Pa. The curves of shrinkage and its derivative (shrinkage rate) are obtained from the data stored automatically during sintering process. The densification behaviors are investigated from the observation of fracture surface and cross-section of the sintered compacts. The pressureless-sintered powder compacts show incomplete densification with a relative denstiy of 86.1% after sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 3h. Spark-plasma sintering at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 10 min exhibits nearly complete densification of 98.6% relative density under the sintering pressure of 50 MPa.

Nanopowders of Mo, Ta and Si were made by high-energy ball milling. A dense nanostructured $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite was sintered by the high-frequency induction heated combustion method within 2 minutes from mechanically activated powder of Mo, Ta and Si. A highly dense $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite was produced under simultaneous application of a 80 MPa pressure and the induced current. Mechanical properties and microstucture were investigated. The hardness and fracture toughness of the $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite were $1200kg/mm^2$ and $3.5MPa.m^{1/2}$, respectively. The mechanical properties were higher than those of monolithic $MoSi_2$.

Carbon-nanotube-embedded bismuth telluride (CNT/$Bi_2Te_3$) matrix composites were fabricated by a powder metallurgy process. Composite powders, whereby 5 vol.% of functionalized CNTs were homogeneously mixed with $Bi_2Te_3$ alloying powders, were successfully synthesized by using high-energy ball milling process. The powders were consolidated into bulk CNT/$Bi_2Te_3$ composites by spark plasma sintering process at $350^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The fabricated composites showed the uniform mixing and homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in the $Bi_2Te_3$ matrix. Seebeck coefficient of CNT/$Bi_2Te_3$ composites reveals that the composite has n-type semiconducting characteristics with values ranging $-55\;{\mu}V/K$ to $-95\;{\mu}V/K$ with increasing temperature. Furthermore, the significant reduction in thermal conductivity has been clearly observed in the composites. The results showed that CNT addition to thermoelectric materials could be useful method to obtain high thermoelectric performance.

The nitrification of pure iron powders is found to occur even at room temperature by high energy ball milling in $NH_3$ gas atmosphere. The powders of metastable iron nitrides ($0<at.%N{\le}23.3$) thus produced are identified as the super-saturated bee structure for the N content below 14.9 at.%N and the high temperature phase of the hcp structure above 19.4 at.%N. The atomic volume of Fe in the bcc phase is found to be smaller than that of the N-martensite reported in the literature. Magnetization at room temperature gradually decreases with increasing the N concentration in contrast to the enhancement reported for the bet nitrides. Neutron diffraction experiment also provide detailed information about the local structure surrounding the nitrogen atom. The coordination number of Fe atom around a nitrogen atom for the iron nitride containing 9.5 at.%N turns out to be 3.9 atoms.
