Semiconducting Barium Titanate shows resistivity anomaly near the transition temperature 120.deg. C. Its transition temperature decreases about 6-7.deg. C per 1 mole % SnO$_{2}$, which is likely to compose (BaSb) (TiSn) $O_{3}$ structure by making Sn$^{+4}$ ions occupy Ti$^{+4}$ ion sites. Grain boundories, whose existance is the cause of having high resistivity in Semiconducting BaTiO$_{3}$ disappear due to the spontaneous polarization below the transition temperature, and it is believed that the phase transition makes semiconducting BaTiO$_{3}$ have resistivity anomaly at certain temperature. Temperature and frequency dependencies of resistivity are also investigated for practical application.ion.

We examine phase transition of the spin density wave and $\pi$ phase shifted superconductivity in the Fe pnictide superconductors. The phase diagram is described in the plane of the temperature T and the doping x with the combination of Ginzburg-Landau expansion of the free energy near the multi-critical temperature $T_c$ and the self-consistent numerical iterations of the gap equations. The phase separation or coexistence is determined by computing the 4-th order terms of the free energy which is confirmed by the numerical calculations. We can show the phase coexistence when the spin density wave is incommensurate. And the first order phase transition is observed near the boundary between commensurate and incommensurate spin density wave.

We constructed a photoacoustic cell and dewar in order to investigate the phase transition of the solids. The solid-liquid phase transition of a wood's metal was measured by a temperature controlled photoacoustic apparatus. It showed a good agreement with the reported value of the melting point, 343 K. The phase transiton of the wood's metal has been determined to be the first order transition, existing a latent heat, which is typical in the solid-liquid transition. In addition, a supercooling effect was observed by monitoring the photoacoustic signal as the temperature of the sample was decreased. The experiments have demonstrated the photoacoustic detection is an appropriate method to determine the order of transition in solid samples.

The classical molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the phase transition of gold nanoparticles under confinement using Sutton-Chen (SC) potential. Metal gold nanoparticles with different number of atoms are subject to replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation for this purpose. The simulation showing the solidto-liquid melting temperature largely remains unaffected by confinement, while the confinement induces characteristic pre-melting at very low temperature depending on atom number in nanoparticles.

$(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ containing non-centrosymmetric anions is well known to exhibit a metal insulator transition around 37 K by ordering of the anions with a $q_2$=(1/2, 1/2, 1/2) wave vector. We established pressure-temperature phase diagram of the $(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ compound and showed that it can belong to the general phase diagram of the $(TMTSF)_2X$ family. Application of hydrostatic pressure decreases the anion ordering transition temperature and the superconducting state is finally stabilized below 3.77 K under 7.7 kbar. Magnetoresistance measurement on the $(TMTSF)_2BF_4$ under 7.8 kbar is performed but neither the field-induced spin-density-wave state nor the rapid oscillation is observed up to 9 T.

We report the changes of the microwave reflection coefficients S$_{11}$ of copper(II)-phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin films by using a near-field microwave microscope(NSMM) in order to understand the phase transition of CuPc. For a NSMM system, a high-quality microstrip resonator coupled with a dielectric resonator was used. CuPc thin films were prepared on the pre-heated glass substrates using a thermal evaporation method. The reflection coefficients S$_{11}$ of CuPc thin films were changed by the dependence on the substrate pre-heating temperatures. By comparing reflection coefficient S$_{11}$ and crystal structures, we found the phase transition of CuPc thin films from $\alpha$-phase to $\beta$-phase at the substrate heating temperature 200 $^{\circ}C$./TEX>.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-based diblock and triblock polyester copolymers stimulating to temperature were studied as injectable biomaterials in drug delivery system because of their nontoxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. We synthesized the diblock copolymers consisting of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) (M$_{n}$=750 g/mole) and poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) by ring opening polymerization of $\varepsilon$-CL with MPEG as an initiator in the presence of HCl . Et$_2$O. The aqueous solution of synthesized diblock copolymers represented sol phase at room temperature and a sol to gel phase transition as the temperature increased from room temperature to body temperature. To confirm the in vivo gel formation, we observed the formation of gel in the mice body after injection of 20 wt% aqueous solution of each block copolymer. After 2 months, we observed the maintenance of gel without dispersion in mice. In this study, we synthesized diblock copolymers exhibiting sol-gel phase transition and confirmed the feasibility as biomaterials of injectable implantation.n.

Correlations between mitochondrial respiration, glycolysis activity and overall growth activity of rice (Oryza sativa: cv. Dasan) seedlings during low temperature exposure were studied in order to provide insights into the underlying mechanism for the primary phase of chilling injury in plants. Among cellular membranes involved in energy metabolism, only the mitochondrial inner membrane showed not only physical phase transition at ca. $13^{\circ}C$, as monitored by ESR spin label, but also functional phase transition at the same temperature, as assessed by cytochrome c oxidase activity. The main regulatory enzyme of glycolysis, phosphofructokinase, in situ did not suffer phase transition of its activity at least in the $4{\sim}27^{\circ}C$ range. Low temperature caused a significant accumulation of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), which disappeared almost completely on rewarming of the seedlings. Temperature profiles of the steady state levels of G6P and F6P revealed the inflection point appearing at around phase transition temperature of the mitochondrial membrane. The results conform to our previous proposition on the mechanism for the early stage events of chilling injury that the accumulation of glycolytic metabolites in cells due to metabolic imbalance at low temperature gives rise to an excess supply of electrons during rewarming period, which, in turn, results in overproduction of active oxygen in mitochondria.

We have studied the Polymer Stabilized Continuous Director Rotation (PSCDR) mode to solve the thermal shock problem which is core and main problem in CDR mode. The cell filled 95wt. % R2301 FLC and 5wt. % UCL-001 polymer is applied a low DC voltage only near the phase transition temperature from cholesteric to chiral smectic C phase transition to get defect-free alignment. In the previous work, we also confirmed layer deformation induced by an applied DC field only near the phase transition temperature from Ch to $SmC^{\ast}$. Results of layer structure, and characteristics of electro-optical properties between CDR and PSCDR mode will be discussed in this paper. We are also in progress to finalize the layer structures compared between CDR and PSCDR mode by x-ray measurements.
