The present investigation aims at visualizing the crack tip stress field using a mechanoluminescence material. The well known compound $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}$ was adopted as a mechanolurninescence material. Two more trivalent rare-earth elements such as Dy and Nd were taken into consideration as codopants to provide the appropriate trap levels. Samples of a variety of compositions were prepared by varing $Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$, and $Nd^{3+}$ doping contents, for which the combinatorial chemistry method was used. In order to search for the optimum composition for the highest mechanoluminescence, the luminescence induced by a compressive device including a CCD camera. In parallel, a compact tension specimen was prepared by mixing the luminescence powders of optimum composition and epoxy resin. Crack initiation from the mechanically machined sharp note tip and its growth during loading were found to be associated with the extent of light emission from $SrAl_2O_4$.

This study investigated the phase transformation of the REBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$ (RE=Nd, Gd, Dy) superconductor, and CCT (Continuous-Cooling-Transformation) along with the TTT (Time-Temperature-Transformation) diagrams are suggested according to the isothermal and continuous cooling heat-treatments. The peritectic temperature of the 123 phases decreased approximately 3$0^{\circ}C$ when the ionic radius of the rare-earth elements was reduced. The optimum cooling rate where BC and Cu-free phases do not exist was 0.001$^{\circ}C$/s. At this cooling late, the 123 phase grew with a c-axis Perpendicular to the surface and had a well-distributed 211 phase. When the oxygen partial pressure was reduced Outing isothermal heat-treatment, the formation temperature of the 211 phase decreased. In addition, the formation temperature of the 123 phases decreased from 100$0^{\circ}C$ (Nd-123) to 9$25^{\circ}C$ (Gd-123), and finally 875$^{\circ}C$ (Dy-123) according to the decrease in the ionic radius of the tare-earth elements. Compared to Nd-123, Gd- and Dy-123 had a better texture with a well-distributed 211 phase.e.

Long afterglow $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ is synthesized by a solid state reaction. The effect of flux $B_2O_3$ on the sintering dynamic process, the optimum concentrations of $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ for long lasting bright luminescence property and the effect of charge compensators like $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $K^+$ on long persistence have been investigated.

A new analytical luminescence method for the $Dy^{3+}$ ion was studied using the luminescence enhancement by the treatment of the o-phenanthroline on the TLC plate. Compared to the specific emission intensities of the ion in water solution, if the ion solution is spotted on the TLC plate, the luminescence intensities were extremely enhanced. There was additional enhancement effect of the luminescence intensities of the ions on the TLC plate, if the ion on the TLC plate is treated with o-phenanthroline. Based on the luminescence enhancement, the detection limit was improved by more than 4 order of magnitude compared to that of solution sample. The dynamic ranges and correlation coefficients of the calibration curves near the detection limit were 102 order and ~0.99, respectively. The energy-transfer mechanism was explained for the theoretical back ground of the luminescence enhancement.

Pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and codoped $Bi_{0.9}A_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (A=Eu, Dy) thin films were prepared on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by chemical solution deposition. The remnant polarizations (2Pr) of the $Bi_{0.9}Eu_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (BEFZO) and $Bi_{0.9}Dy_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}Zn_{0.025}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (BDFZO) thin films were about 36 and $26{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the maximum electric fields of 900 and 917 kV/cm, respectively, at 1 kHz. The codoped BEFZO and BDFZO thin films showed improved electrical properties, and leakage current densities of 3.68 and $1.21{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$, respectively, which were three orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure BFO film, at 100 kV/cm.

The ac, dc conductivity and dielectric properties of $DyCoO_3$ were reported in the temperature range of 77 - 300K and in the frequency range of 20 Hz - 100 kHz. It was observed that at low temperature, ac conductivity is much higher than dc conductivity and the hopping carrier between localized states near the Fermi level was the dominant loss mechanism. A comparison of the measured ac conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$ was made with some of the models of hopping conductivity of the proposed earlier in the literature. It was observed that in $DyCoO_3$ the measured ac conductivity, over the entire frequency and temperature region, can be explained reasonably well by assuming two contributions $\sigma_1(\omega)$ and $\sigma_2(\omega)$ to the measured $\sigma(\omega)$. The first, $\sigma_1(\omega)$, which dominates at low temperature, may be due to impurity conduction in a small polaron; the second, $\sigma_2(\omega)$, which dominates at higher temperatures, depending on the frequency of measurements, may be due to the hopping of a small polaron and is reasonable for the dielectric relaxation peak.

The effects of additives (Nb, Bi and Cr) on the microstructure, varistor properties, and aging behavior of V/Mn/Co/ La/Dy co-doped zinc oxide ceramics were systematically investigated. An analysis of the microstructure showed that all of the ceramics that were modified with various additives were composed of zinc oxide grain as the main phase, and secondary phases such as $Zn_3(VO_4)_2$, $ZnV_2O_4$, and $DyVO_4$. The $Bi_2O_3$-modified samples exhibited the lowest density, the $Nb_2O_5$-modified sample exhibited the largest average grain size, and the $Cr_2O_3$-modified samples exhibited the highest breakdown field. All additives improved the non-ohmic coefficient (${\alpha}$) by either a small or a large margin, and in particular an $Nb_2O_5$ additive noticeably increased the non-ohmic coefficient to be as large as 36. The $Bi_2O_3$-modified samples exhibited the highest stability with variation rates for the breakdown field and for the non-ohmic coefficient (${\alpha}$) of -1.2% and -26.3%, respectively, after application of a DC accelerated aging stress of 0.85 EB/$85^{\circ}C$/24 h.

Ln-macrocyclic([20]DOTA) complexes, [Ln([20]DPTA)(NO_{3})(H_{2}O)](NO_{3})_{2} \cdotxH_{2}O{Ln(III)=Pr, Sm, Gd, Dy}, which had been synthesized from 2, 6-diformyl-p-cresol(DFPC), was placed in methanol for 2 days, and $[Ln([20]DPTA)(NO_{3})(CH_{3}OH)]^{2+}$ was formed. The equilibrium constants(L) for the substitution of coordinated $CH_{3}OH$ in the Ln-[20]DOTA complexes by various auxiliary ligands, $L_{a}(=monodentate ligands; pyridine, imidazole, triethylamine, diethylamine, piperidine) were determined spectroscopically at $25^{\circ}C$ and 0.1M. The pKa of auxiliary ligand is in the order of pyridine < imidazole < triethylamine < diethylamine < piperidine, however the K has shown the trend of pyridine < imidzole < diethylamine < piperidine < triethylamine.

The electrical conductivity of $(M_2O_3)_x (BaTiO_3)_{1-x}$ has been measured over the temperature range of 30 to 27$0^{\circ}C$. The substitution of rare earth oxide such as $La_2O_3$, $Nd_2O_3$, or $Dy_2O_3$ can be represented by $M_2O_3$. The additional mole fraction of the rare earth oxide is ranged over 0.0015 to 0.0030. The electrical conductivity exhibits an anomalous decrease near the tetragonal to cubic transition about 12$0^{\circ}C$. The decrease in the electrical conductivity is observed at the higher impurity concentrations owing to space charge layer. The increase in the electrical conductivity is observed as the impurity ion is varied from $La^{+3}$$Nd^{+3}$ to $Dy^{+3}$, due to overlap of 4f electrons of the inner shell.
