We developed an optimization process of the pulsed laser deposition method to grow epitaxial CeCoIn₅ thin films on MgF₂ substrates. The effects of different deposition parameters on film growth were extensively studied by analyzing the measured X-ray diffraction patterns. All the deposited films contained small amounts of CeIn₃ impurity phase and misoriented CeCoIn₅, for which the c-axis of the unit cell is perpendicular to the normal vector of the substrate surface. The deposition temperature, target composition, laser energy density, and repetition rate were found effective in the formation of (00l)-oriented CeCoIn₅ as well as the undesired phases such as CeIn₃, misoriented CeCoIn₅ along the (112) and (h00). Our results provide a set of deposition parameters that produce high-quality epitaxial CeCoIn₅ thin films with sufficiently low amounts of impurity phases and can serve as a reference for future studies to optimize the deposition process further.

Scandia-stabilized zirconia co-doped with $CeO_2$ is a promising electrolyte for intermediate temperature SOFC, but still shows rapid degradation during a long-term operation. In this study, $CeO_2$ (1 mol%) as a stabilizer is partially substituted with lanthanum oxides ($M_2O_3$, M=Yb, Gd, Sm) to stabilize a cubic phase and thus durability in reducing atmosphere. 0.5M0.5Ce10ScSZ electrolytes were prepared by solid state reaction and sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 10 h to produce dense ceramic specimens. With addition of the lanthanum oxide, 0.5M0.5Ce10ScSZ showed lower degradation rates than 1Ce10ScSZ. Since $Gd_2O_3$ showed the highest ionic conductivity among the co-dopants, an electrolyte-supported cell with 0.5Gd0.5Ce10ScSZ was prepared to compare its long-term performance with that of 1Ce10ScSZ-based cell. Maximum power density of 0.5Gd0.5Ce10ScSZ-based cell was degraded by about 2.3% after 250 h, which was much lower than 1Ce10ScSZ-based cell (4.2%).

CO oxidation and selective CO oxidation of $La_xCe_{1-x}Co_yCu_{1-y}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ perovskite(x=1, 0.9, 0.7. 0.5; y=1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5) were investigated. For CO oxidation, catalytic activities were studied according to different preparation conditions such as pH and calcination temperature. The influence of the change of the $O_2$ concentration for selective CO oxidation was studied, too. The substitution of Ce for La improved the catalytic activity for CO oxidation and selective CO oxidation and best activity was observed for $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ prepared at pH 11 and calcined at $600^{\circ}C$. The temperature of 90% CO conversion for CO oxidation using $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ was $230^{\circ}C$. In contrast to the enhancement effect by Ce substitution, the partial substitution of Cu for Co in $LaCo_yCu_{1-y}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ decreased catalytic activities for CO oxidation reaction compared to that using $LaCoO_3$. For selective CO oxidation, the best CO conversion was 66% at $230^{\circ}C$ for $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$. The CO conversion of $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ was greatly increased from 66% to 91% as increasing $O_2$ concentration from 1% to 2%.

지지체의 구성비가 일산화탄소 산화반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 다양한 몰 비의 Al/(Al+Ce) 산화물을 공침법으로 제조하고 백금을 담지한 촉매를 함침법으로 제조하였다. 제조한 촉매의 물리 화학적 특성을 알아보고 반응 활성과 연관시키기 위하여 X-선 회절분석(XRD), 질소 흡착 탈착분석($N_2$ sorption), 수소/일산화탄소-승온환원분석($H_2$/CO-TPR)의 특성분석을 수행하였다. Pt/xAl-yCe 촉매에서 지지체의 몰 비에 따른 최적 활성을 조사한 결과, 건식 및 습식 반응조건에서 Pt/1Al-9Ce 촉매가 가장 좋은 활성을 나타냈으며, 이를 기준으로 회산형 형태의 반응 곡선을 나타냈다. 반응물에 5%의 수분이 존재 할 때, 50%의 전환율 온도가 건조 반응조건에서의 활성보다 약 $30^{\circ}C$ 저온으로 이동하였다. CO-TPR 분석에서Pt/1Al-9Ce 촉매 상의 이산화탄소 탈착피크가 가장 크게 관찰되었고, CO-TPR 결과는 반응결과와 잘 일치하였다. 이는 다른 촉매에 비해 Pt/1Al-9Ce 촉매의 표면 흡착점이 가장 많고 지지체로부터 산소공급이 용이함을 의미한다. 또한 $^{27}Al$ NMR 분석에서 오면체로 배위된 $Al^{3+}$ 점의 양과 반응 활성이 비례관계에 있음을 확인하였다.

The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.

비정질 RE-Co(RE=Ce, Nd, Pr, Gd, Tb, Er, Ho) 합금막의 자기광학 스펙트럼(${\lambda}=250~700nm$)을 Y-Co의 그것과 비교하여 RE 부격자에 의한 자기광학효과를 추정하였다. RE에 의한 자기광학효과는 단파장 영역에서 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났으며, Ce, Pr, Nd 및 Gd은 Co의 자기광학효과에 더해지는 방향으로 일어나고, Tb, Ho 및 Er은 Co와 반대방향으로 일어난다. 자기광학 천이 모델에 의하면, Pr과 Nd은 $4f{\uparrow}->5d{\uparrow}$, Ce과 Gd은 d->p, Tb은 $4f{\downarrow}->5d{\downarrow}$ 또는 $5d{\downarrow}->4f{\downarrow}$ 그리고 Ho과 Er은 $4f{\downarrow}->5d{\downarrow}$ 밴드간 천이에 의한 것으로 각각의 자기광학횬과를 설명할 수 있다.

스컬용융법으로 큐빅지르코니아(YSZ) 단결정들($ZrO_2:Y_2O_3:Co_3O_4:CeO_2$=64:36:0.5:0~0.3mol%)을 성장시켜 $N_2$ 분위기 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 열처리 하였다. 갈색의 단결정들은 각각 녹색 또는 청색으로 변화되었다. 열처리 전 후의 YSZ 단결정들은 직경 7, 두께 2 mm의 웨이퍼 또는 직경 12 mm의 라운드브릴리언트 컷으로 연마 하였다. 각 시편의 광학적 또는 구조적 특성은 UV-VIS 분광광도계와 XRD(X-ray diffraction)로 분석하였으며, $Ce^{3+}(^2F_{5/2},\;_{7/2}(4f){\rightarrow}^2T_g(5d^1))$, $Co^{2+}(^4A_2(^4F){\rightarrow}^4T_1(^4F)$ 또는 $^4T_1(^4P)$) 및 $Co^{3+}$에 의한 흡수, 이온화에너지 및 격자상수 변화를 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 $Cu/CeO_2$ 촉매의 함량과 소성온도를 제어함으로써 촉매의 구조적 특성이 CO 산화반응에 미치는 영향과, $100{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 촉매의 CO 전환율을 평가하였다. 촉매의 구조적 특성이 변화함에 따라 촉매의 화학적 특성에 미친 영향을 확인하기 위해 XRD, Raman, BET, $H_2-TPR$, XPS 분석을 수행하였다. 이때, Cu와 Ce의 치환 결합이 형성되는 것을 확인하였고, Cu를 5 wt.% 담지한 촉매를 $400^{\circ}C$로 소성하였을 때 Cu와 Ce의 결합을 많이 이루고 있는 것으로 판단하였다. Cu와 Ce의 결합은 Raman 분석 상에서 peak의 이동과, $H_2-TPR$에서 나타난 peak를 통해 확인하였다. 또한 산화상태 분석을 통하여 치환 결합을 쉽게 이룰 수 있다고 알려져 있는 $Ce^{3+}$종과 반응에 더욱 쉽게 기인할 수 있는 표면 산소종(surface labile oxygen)이 많이 형성되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이때, 본 연구에서 사용한 촉매의 CO 전환율은 $150^{\circ}C$에서 100%에 가까운 수치를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

A series of Fe/CeO$_2$/Fe$_{75}$Co$_{25}$ tunnel junctions (Magnetic Tunnel Junction, MTJ) having CeO$_2$ barrier layers from 30 to 90$\AA$ in thickness were prepared by ion beam sputtering (IBS) method. In order to compare the properties of MTJs, Fe/Al oxide/Fe-Co tunnel junctions were also prepared. Some junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer showed the ferromagnetic tunneling effect and the highest MR ratio at room temperature was 5%. The electric resistance of junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer was higher that that of junctions with an Al oxide barrier. On the other hand, The interface analysis of the Fe/CeO$_2$ bilayer was conducted by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that CeO$_2$ was decomposed to Ce and $O_2$ during sputtering, and Fe was oxidized with these decomposed $O_2$ molecules. The reduction of both electric resistance and MR ratio may be associated with the decomposed Ce in the barrier layer.r.r.
