Several oxides have recently been reported to have resistance-switching characteristics for nonvolatile memory (NVM) applications. Both binary and ternary oxides demonstrated great potential as resistive-switching memory elements. However, the switching mechanisms have not yet been clearly understood, and the uniformity and reproducibility of devices have not been sufficient for gigabit-NVM applications. The primary requirements for oxides in memory applications are scalability, fast switching speed, good memory retention, a reasonable resistive window, and constant working voltage. In this paper, we discuss several materials that are resistive-switching elements and also focus on their switching mechanisms. We evaluated non-stoichiometric polycrystalline oxides ($Nb_2O_5$, and $ZrO_x$) and subsequently the resistive switching of $Cu_xO$ and heavily Cu-doped $MoO_x$ film for their compatibility with modem transistor-process cycles. Single-crystalline Nb-doped $SrTiO_3$ (NbSTO) was also investigated, and we found a Pt/single-crystal NbSTO Schottky junction had excellent memory characteristics. Epitaxial NbSTO film was grown on an Si substrate using conducting TiN as a buffer layer to introduce single-crystal NbSTO into the CMOS process and preserve its excellent electrical characteristics.

Ag-36.8a%Cu-7.4at%Ti 조성의 브레이징 합금을 Si3N4 기판위에 브레이징한 후 브레이징 합금의 산화거동을 대기중 400, 500, 600$^{\circ}C$에서 조사하였다. 브레이징 합금의 구성원소인 Ag는 산화되지 않고 Cu와 Ti가 산화되며, 산화거동은 포물선적 산화법칙을 따랐다. 브레이징 합금의 산화에 따른 활성화에너지는 80kj/ mol 으로서 소량 첨가된 활성원소인 Ti에 의하여 순수한 Cu의 산화시 활성화에너지보다 감소하였다. 산화 초기에 생성되는 외부산화물은 Cu이온의 외부확산에 의해 성장이 지배되는 Cu산화물로 구성되어 있었다. 산화기간이 경과함에 따라 외부산화물층 아래에서 Cu의 농도는 감소되고 Ag의 농도는 증가하는 농도구배가 발생하여, 브레이징 합금의 산화물은 Cu산화물층(CuO)/Ag잉여층/Cu산화물층(Cu2O)/Ag잉여층의 다층구조를 갖았다. 또한, 분위기중의 산소는 Cu산화물 및 Ag잉여층을 통해 브레이징 합금 내부로 확산되어 브레이징 합금내의 Ti와 반응하여 내부산화물 TiO2를 생성하였다.

Arc-melted alloys of TiAl-(o.25, 0.5, 1.0at%) Si were isothermally oxidized at 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air for 60hr. It was found that the oxidation resistance of the prepared TiAl-Si alloys was much better than that of pure TiAl, being progressively increasing with an increase in the Si content. This was attributed to the formation of $SiO_2$in addition to ($TiO_2$+$Al_2$$O_3$) oxides which formed in TiAl alloys with and without silicon additions. However, the silica formation within the oxide layer unfortunately accelerated the oxide scale spallations. During oxidation, all the elements in the base alloy diffused outward, whereas oxygen from the atmosphere diffused inward. The oxides were primarily composed of an outer thick $TiO_2$layer, an intermediate diffuse $Al_2$$O_3$layer and an inner $TiO_2$layer. A small amount of $SiO_2$was present all over the oxide scale and some voids were found around the intermediate layer.

The cobalt blue spinel stains (main composition; CoO:$Al_2O_3$=1 : 1) in CoO-NiO-$Al_2O_$3 and $CoO-Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ system were prepared by the calcination of each component oxides to be adequate for the factory. The color development, the change of the lattice constnat of the spinel and its application to colored glazes were studied. The results were summarized as follows. 1) In CoO-Al_2O_3$ spinel, the excess addition of each component hardly made any variation in lattice constantand alumina-rich spinel specimens caused the brilliant blue color fade. 2) An increase of $Ni^{2+}$ in $CoO-NiO-Al_2O_3$ system, made the lattice constnat of the $CoO-Al_2O_3$ spinel smaller, and an increase of $Cr^{3+}$ in $CoO-Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$, larger. 3) Glazed stains under lead glaze were colored nearly same dark blue color fade.

이소부탄의 산화탈수소반응(ODH)에 대한 $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ 촉매계의 5가지 담지체의 촉진효과를 조사하였다. 사용된 5가지 담지체는 감마-알루미나, 알파-알루미나, 실리카-알루미나, 실리카겔, 마그네슘 산화물이다. 촉매는 사용된 담지체에 따라 그 효과가 다르게 나타났다: ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O> $SiO_2$ $\approx$MgO$\gg$unsupported. V-Sb-O 비율은 별로 촉매 활성과 선택성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 촉매 성분들이 담지체에 골고루 잘 분포된 이유로 인해 감마-알루미나에 담지된 $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ 촉매계가 성능이 제일 뛰어났다.

Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Dy 산화물계로 구성된 바리스터 세라믹스의 전기적 안정성을 몇 가지 DC 가속열화 스트레스 조건하에서 0.0∼2.0 mol% Dy$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량의 변화에 따라 조사하였다. 바리스터 세라믹스의 밀도는 Dy$_2$O$_3$ 첨가량이 0.5 mol%까지 증가하였으며, 보다 많이 첨가하면 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 밀도는 전도경로와 밀접한 관계로 인해서 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Dy$_2$O$_3$ 첨가는 바리스터 세라믹스의 비직선 지수를 45 이상, 누설전류를 대략 1.0 $\mu$A 이하로 비직선성을 크게 개선시켰다. DC 스트레스 조건 0.95 V$_{1mA}$/15$0^{\circ}C$/24 h에서 안정성을 조사한 결과, 0.5 mol% 첨가시 상대적으로 가장 높은 안정성을 나타내었다. 전압-전류특성에 있어서 바리스터 전압, 비직선 지수, 누설전류의 변화율은 각각 -0.9%, -14.4%, +483.3%이었으며, 유전특성에 있어서 비유전율 및 손실계수의 변화는 각각 +7.1%, +315.4%이었다. 그 외의 바리스터 세라믹스는 낮은 밀도 때문에 열폭주 현상을 나타내는 매우 불안정한 특성을 나타내었다.다.

Ni-rich layered oxides $Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_z)O_2$ (x + y + z = 1) have been extensively studied in recent times owing to their high capacity and low cost and can possibly replace $LiCoO_2$ in the near future. However, these layered oxides suffer from problems related to the capacity fading, thermal stability, and safety at high voltages. In this study, we use surface coating as a strategy to improve the thermal stability at higher voltages. The uniform and conformal $Al_2O_3$ coating on prefabricated electrodes using atomic layer deposition significantly prevented surface degradation over prolonged cycling. Initial capacity of 190, 199, 188 and $166mAh\;g^{-1}$ is obtained for pristine, 2, 5 and 10 cycles of ALD coated samples at 0.2C and maintains 145, 158, 151 and $130mAh\;g^{-1}$ for high current rate of 2C in room temperature. The two-cycle $Al_2O_3$ modified cathode retained 75% of its capacity after 500 cycles at 5C with 0.05% capacity decay per cycle, compared with 46.5% retention for a pristine electrode, at an elevated temperature. Despite the insulating nature of the $Al_2O_3$ coating, a thin layer is sufficient to improve the capacity retention at a high temperature. The $Al_2O_3$ coating can prevent the detrimental surface reactions at a high temperature. Thus, the morphology of the active material is well-maintained even after extensive cycling, whereas the bare electrode undergoes severe degradation.

In this study, we examined the effect of NO addition on the ozone-induced soot oxidation activity of $LaMnO_3$ perovskite catalysts. The addition of 10~20% NO ($NO_2$) with respect to the concentration of ozone effectively enhanced the rate of ozone-induced soot oxidation rate over $LaMnO_3$. However, the excessive addition of NO ($NO_2$) was detrimental to ozone-induced soot oxidation activity. It is supposed nitrogen oxides would adsorb on the catalyst and then react with carbon-oxygen species developed on soot surface, but an excessive addition of nitrogen oxide would inhibit the formation of carbon-oxygen species, which is a key intermediate in the reaction, and consequently suppress the oxidation rate of soot.

The oxidation behaviour of Fe-XAl-0.1Y(X= 5, 10, 14 wt.%) alloys were investigated at 1073, 1173 and 1273 K in oxygen/ nitrogen gas atmosphere for 1∼24 hrs using SEM/EDX, XRD and EPMA. The weight changes of Fe-XAl-0.1Y alloys followed the parabolic rate law. Oxidation rates of 10Al and 14Al alloys were ten times lower than that of 5Al alloys. This is attributed to the formations of protective $A1_2$$O_3$oxides on the surface of 10Al and 14Al alloys. The oxidation product scales of the 5Al alloy showed that thick iron oxide scales($Fe_2$$O_3$, $Fe_3$$O_4$) containing porosities formed during early stages of oxidation. With continued oxidation, aluminum oxide was formed at the alloy/scale interface.

To alloy high melting point elements such as boron, ruthenium, and iridium with copper, heat treatment was performed using metal oxides of $B_2O_3$, $RuO_2$, and $IrO_2$ at the temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$ in vacuum for 30 minutes. The microstructure analysis of the alloyed sample was confirmed using an optical microscope and FE-SEM. Hardness and trace element analyses were performed using Vickers hardness and WD-XRF, respectively. Diffusion profile analysis was performed using D-SIMS. From the microstructure analysis results, crystal grains were found to have formed with sizes of 2.97 mm. For the copper alloys formed using metal oxides of $B_2O_3$, $RuO_2$, and $IrO_2$ the sizes of the crystal grains were 1.24, 1.77, and 2.23 mm, respectively, while these sizes were smaller than pure copper. From the Vickers hardness results, the hardness of the Ir-copper alloy was found to have increased by a maximum of 2.2 times compared to pure copper. From the trace element analysis, the copper alloy was fabricated with the expected composition. From the diffusion profile analysis results, it can be seen that 0.059 wt%, 0.030 wt%, and 0.114 wt% of B, Ru, and Ir, respectively, were alloyed in the copper, and it led to change the hardness. Therefore, we verified that alloying of high melting point elements is possible at the low temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$.
