The cause of optical nonlinearity induced in thermally poled silica glass is believed to be the space charge polarization. Since the second order optical nonlinearity (electro-optic effect) can be used in optical switches the optical nonlinearity in silica glass has drawn a large attention. Space charge polarization occurs when an ionic conducting material is subjected to dc electric field by the blocking electrode. Thermal poling performed to induce the optical nonlinearity in silica glass is basically identical to the process generating space charge polarization. As a first step to understand the mechanism of space charge polarization in silica glass hence the induced optical nonlinearity the absorption currents as functions of time were measured for various types of silica glasses and analyzed by the theory of space charge polarization. It was found that the electrical relaxation exhibited a step by the space charge polarization in the relatively long time range and dielectric loss peak showed a maximum at a specific temperature which is depending on type of silica glass. It was turned out that this relaxation might be a cause of nonlinearity in electrical conductivity of silica glass.

In recent years, scientific community has found renewed interest in hypersonic flight research. These hypersonic vehicles undergo severe aero-thermal environments during their flight regimes. One of the most important topics of research in hypersonic aerodynamics is to find a reasonable way of calculating either the surface temperature or the heat flux to surface when its temperature is held fixed. This requires modeling of physical and chemical processes. Hyperbolic system of equations with stiff relaxation method are being identified in recent literature as a novel method of predicting long time behavior of systems such as gas at high temperatures. In present work, Energy Relaxation Method (ERM) has been considered to simulate the real gas flow over a 2-D cylinder. Present heat flux results over the cylinder compared well with the experiment. Thus, real gas effects in hypersonic flows can be modeled through energy relaxation method.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and solvent swelling technique have been applied for identifying physical transition temperatures in the macromolecular structure of coals. The transition processes seem to be associated with physical relaxation of the coal structure and are irreversible processes. In Pittsburgh No. 8 high volatile bituminous (hvb) coat one physical transition was noted at 250-30$0^{\circ}C$ (at 8$^{\circ}C$/min) without any significant accompanying weight loss. Coals of higher rank than high volatile bituminous, i.e., Upper Freeport medium volatile bituminous (mvb) and Pocahontas No.3 low volatile bituminous (lvb) coals, exhibit structural relaxation just before the major thermal decomposition process and a sharp increase in solvent swellability accompanies this relaxation. In the case of both the Pittsburgh No.8 and the Upper Freeport coat structural relaxations at around 36$0^{\circ}C$ seem to coincide with release of "guest molecules".les".uot;.

In this study, complex admittance as a function of temperature and frequency was measured to analyze the important relaxation properties of lead scandium niobate, which is physically important, although it is not an environmentally friendly electrical and electronic material, including lead. Lead scandium niobate was synthesized by heat treating the solid oxide, and the conductance, susceptance and capacitance were measured as a function of temperature and frequency from the temperature dependence of the RLC circuit. The relaxation characteristics of lead scandium niobate were found to be affected by contributions such as grain size, grain boundary characteristics, space charge, and dipole arrangement. As the temperature rises, the maximum admittance and susceptance increase in one direction, but the resonance frequency decreases below the transition temperature but increases after the phase transition.

The effect of chain orientation and relaxation on the characteristics of poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) flexible substrate has been studied. It was found that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of PEN under $100^{\circ}C$ decreased as low as $20ppm/^{\circ}C$ due to the lowering of chain mobility by chain orientation. The thermal shrinkage was found to appear near glass transition temperature because of chain relaxation. It could be minimized by thermal annealing but CTE increased again up to $70ppm/^{\circ}C$ which was 65% of intrinsic CTE of PEN. Unstrained thermal annealing made possible to avoid the thermal shrinkage with maintaining low CTE obtained by chain orientation. Chain orientation did not affect the optical transmittance; however, thermal annealing caused the decrease of optical transmittance up to 5%. This was understood by the minor crystallization due to the thermal annealing near glass transition temperature.

The (Sr$_{1-x}$ .Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_{3}$+0.6[mol%]Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$ (0.05.leq.x.leq.0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[.deg. C] in a reducing atmosphere(N$_{2}$ gas). Metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100 [.deg. C] for 2 hours. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very high apparent dielectric constant. According to increase of the frequency as a functional of temperature, all specimens used in this study showed the dielectric relaxation, and the relaxation frequency was above 106 [Hz], it move to low frequency with increasing resistivity of grain. The specimens showed three kinds of conduction mechanisms in the temperature range 25-125 [.deg. C] as the current increased: the region I below 200 [V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region rt between 200 [V/cm] and 2000 [V/cm] can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000 [V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect.fect.

Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys have been regarded attractive for automotive and aerospace application, due to high specific strength, good wear resistance, high thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient and good creep resistance. Spray casting of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy has been reported to provide distinct advantages over ingot metallurgy (IM) or rapid solidification/powder metallurgy (RS/PM) process in terms of microstructure refinement. In this study, hypereutectic Al-25Si-2.0Cu-1.0Mg alloy was prepared by OSPREY spray casting process. The change of strain rate sensitivity and Creep transition were analyzed by using the load relaxation test and constant creep test. High temperature deformation behavior of the hypereutectic Al-Si alloy has been investigated by applying the internal variable theory proposed by Chang et al. Especially, the creep resistance of spray casted hypereutectic Al-Si alloy can be enhanced considerably by the accumulation of prestrain.
