Nuclear fuel cladding tube is fabricated by pilgering and annealing process. In order to remove impurity and oxygen layer on the surface, pickling process is carried out. When Zirconium(Zr) is dissolved and saturated in acid solution during the pickling process, all the waste acid including Zr is disposed. Therefore, $BaF_2$ is added into the waste acid to extract Zr and $Ba_2ZrF_8$ is subsequently formed. To recycle Zr by electrowinning process, $Ba_2ZrF_8$ is used as electrolyte, but it has high melting point ($1053^{\circ}C$). $ZrF_4$ should be added into $Ba_2ZrF_8$ to decrease the melting point. In this paper, it was investigated that $Ba_2ZrF_8$ was separated to $BaF_2$ and $ZrF_4$ by vacuum distillation. Firstly, $BaF_2$ with different particle size ($1{\mu}m$, $35{\mu}m$, $110{\mu}m$) was added into the waste acid and the respective precipitation property was estimated. $BaF_2$ obtained by vacuum distillation was shattered by ball-milling with different time. The precipitation efficiency was compared with $1{\mu}m$ of ${BaF_2}^{\prime}s$ one, which was not used as precipitation agent.

Glass forming ranges in the AlF3-(Mg＋Sr＋Ba)F2-P2O5 system are studied and ultraviolet transmission, infrared transmission, coefficient of refractive index, thermal expansion coefficient, density and chemical durability of the glasses are determined. Glass forming range is restricted MgF2 0-10wt%, SrF2 10-50wt%, BaF2 10-40wt% in this system. While BaF2 is substituted by SrF2, density and refractive index are decreased, micro hardness and thermal expansion coefficient are increased according to the increasing of SrF2 at fixed MgF2 contents. These samples represent high transmittance(93%) from 400nm to 3800nm and chemical durability of these samples show less than 0.3mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$$.$hy by weightloss.

In this study, novel Eu₂O₃-BaF₂-La₂O₃-B₂O₃ oxyfluoride glasses and glass ceramics were developed by a containerless processing. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis was performed to analyze the thermophysical properties of oxyfluoride glasses doped with Eu₂O₃, and photoluminescence (PL) characteristics were analyzed to evaluate the luminous efficiency depending on the degree of crystallinity. The glass transition temperature decreased with increasing BaF₂ concentration since BaF₂ acts as a network modifier in this glass system. In addition, thermal stability which can be estimated by the difference between the glass transition temperature and the onset temperature of the crystallization decreased with increasing BaF₂ contents. The peak related to the BaF₂ crystal was confirmed after the crystallization by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Photoluminescence intensity increased after the crystallization which indicates that the Eu³⁺ ions are sited in BaF₂ crystal. La 3d_5/2 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and F1s XPS spectra were analyzed to precisely understand the behavior of the fluorine ion in the glass structure. Fluorine tends to bond with the network modifying cations such as La³⁺ and Ba²⁺ ions and after the crystallization the La-F bonds decreased because F^- ions used to form BaF₂ crystals.

In this study, formation process of Ba-ferrite by using molten salt synthesis and its magnetic properties were investigated. Among starting materials, BaC $O_3$was only soluble in the molten salts, but other starting material such as $\delta$-FeOOH or F $e_2$ $O_3$was not soluble even at 105$0^{\circ}C$. It implies that the dissolved $Ba^{2+}$ diffused on surfaces of F $e_2$ $O_3$(or $\delta$-FeOOH), therefore, Ba-ferrtites were formed through surface reaction. However, the magnetic properties of Ba-ferrite prepared by two starting materials (F $e_2$ $O_3$and $\delta$-FeOOH) were not different. On the other hand, compared $\delta$-FeOOH with F $e_2$ $O_3$m, morphologies and dispersibility of Ba-ferrites prepared by using $\delta$-FeOOH were good and Ba-ferrites were obtaioned at lower temperature.

In order to synthesize fine AlN powder by the direct nitridation of Aluminum metal power added LiF and BaF2 as additives was heated at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. in nitrogen gas with flow rate of 20 mι/sec. Additives are promoted the nitridation by prevented the aggromerate of powders when 3% LiF and 2% BaF2 were added to Al metal powder. Rate of nitridation was about 100% and average size of AlN powders were very fine such as 0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Specific surface area of synthesized AlN powder was 3.95$m^2$/g and also O2 and N2 contents were 2.595% and 33.25%, respectively.

Hexagonal ferrite $Co_2$Z(B $a_3$ $Co_2$F $e_{24}$ $O_{41}$ ) was prepared by various coprecipitation-oxidation methods. The formation of $Co_2$Z was studied in order to determine the optimal method. The $Co_2$Z composition hydroxides were prepared with the different oxidation and precipitation from the aqueous solution of $Ba^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and F $e^{2+}$ chloride mixture. The coprecipitates were heat-treated at various temperatures, and their formation phases and microstructures were investigated from the analyses of DTA/TGA, powder XRD and SEM. The $Co_2$Z phase was observed in the case where the precursor will have the amorphous like oxyhydoxide($\delta$-FeOOH), and formed from $Ba_3$F $e_{32}$ $O_{51}$ , BaF $e_{12}$ $O_{19}$ (M-type) and $Ba_2$ $Co_2$F $e_{12}$ $O_{22}$ (Y-type). The $Co_2$Z was synthesized by the heat-treatment of the coprecipitate, which was prepared from the precipitation after oxidizing the chloride mixed solution, above 110$0^{\circ}C$.EX>.

he scintillation detector having $BaF^2$ crystal with 3.6cm dia${\times}$2.0 cm thick was provided. The energy and timing characteristics were measured and compared with NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors, which widely used in unclear medicine. In order to measure the energy spectrum, the radioactive sources used were $^{22}Na,\;^{54}Mn,\;^{57}Co,\;^{137}Cs$ and the source to detector distance was 7cm. For the timing characteristic, NaI(Tl)(1" ${\times}$ 1")-$BaF^2$ and NaI(Tl)(3" ${\times}$ 3")-$BaF^2$ timing coincidence systems were prepared and the used source was $^{22}Na$ emitting 511keV annihilation photons. For the 511keV gamma-ray emitted from $^{22}Na$, It was revealed that the timing response of the $BaF^2$ detector was faster than NaI(Tl)(1" ${\times}$ 1") and NaI(Tl)(3" ${\times}$ 3") detector used in this experimental investigation. The energy characteristics of the $BaF^2$ detector had a good values for about 500keV energy range.

A novel microwave dielectric composite material for ultra-low temperature co-fired ceramics (ULTCC) with (1-x)BaWO₄-xBaV₂O₆ (x=0.54~0.85) composition was prepared by firing a mixture of BaWO₄ and BaV₂O₆. Shrinkage tests showed that the ceramic composite begins to densify at a temperature as low as 550℃ and can be sintered at 650℃ with 98% of relative density under the influence of BaV₂O₆. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that BaWO₄ and BaV₂O₆ coexisted and no secondary phase was detected in the sintered bodies, implying good chemical compatibility between the two phases. Near-zero temperature coefficients of the resonant frequency (𝛕_f) could be achieved by controlling the relative content of the two phases, due to their positive and negative 𝛕_f values, respectively. With increasing BaV₂O₆ (x from 0.53 to 0.85), the 𝛕_f value of the composites increased from -7.54 to 14.49 ppm/℃, ε_r increased from 10.08 to 11.17 and the quality factor (Q×f value) decreased from 47,661 to 37,131 GHz. The best microwave dielectric properties were obtained for x=0.6 samples with ε_r=10.4, Q×f=44,090 GHz, and 𝛕_f=-2.38 ppm/℃. Chemical compatibility experiments showed the developed composites are compatible with aluminum electrode during co-firing process.

A prototype MFSFET using ferroelectric fluoride BaMgF$_4$as a gate insulator has been successfully fabricated with the help of 2 sheets of metal mask. The fluoride film was deposited in an ultrai-high vacuum system at a substrate temperature of below 30$0^{\circ}C$ and an in-situ post-deposition annealing was conducted for 20 seconds at $650^{\circ}C$ in the same chamber. The interface state density of the BaMgF$_4$/Si(100) interface calculated by a MFS capacitor fabricated on the same wafer was about 8$\times$10$^{10}$ /cm$^2$.eV. The I$_{D}$-V$_{G}$ characteristics of the MFSFET show a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the BaMgF$_4$film. It is also demonstrated that the I$_{D}$ can be controlled by the “write” plus which was applied before the measurements even at the same “read”gate voltage.ltage.
