In this study, Iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (δ-FeOOH) was successfully synthesized using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as an oxidizing agent. The synthesis of δ-FeOOH was carried out by controlling the amount of H₂O₂, and pure δ-FeOOH was successfully synthesized in ranges from 0.2 mL to 0.6 mL of H₂O₂. The size of the synthesized δ-FeOOH particles was compared by controlling the amount of oxidant H₂O₂. The average particle size of the synthesized pure δ-FeOOH particles increased from 875.1 nm to 897.2 nm as the amount of H₂O₂ was increased. The optical properties of δ-FeOOH synthesized under these specific conditions were investigated. All δ-FeOOH showed a similar trend of increasing and decreasing light absorption from 800 nm to 400 nm, although there was a slight difference in the amount of light absorption, with the largest amount of light absorption at 410 nm. The band gap energy of δ-FeOOH through the Tauc plot method was about 2.1~2.2 eV when H₂O₂ was 0.2~1.4mL. With a sufficient small particle size, simple control of that particle size, and a small band gap energy enough to absorb light in the visible spectrum, δ-FeOOH could be useful in a variety of applications, including photoelectrochemistry and battery electrodes.

The inside wall of a coal gasifier is lined with refractory, and the corrosion of the refractory is an important factor affecting the refractory lifetime and the replacement period. This paper examines the changes in microstructure of a chromia refractory due to chemical reactions with slag having varying amounts of $Fe_2O_3$. Slag samples were prepared by adding $Fe_2O_3$ to KIDECO slag, and static corrosion experiments were carried out at $1550^{\circ}C$. The layer of $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ formation and the depth of Fe depletion in the infiltrating slag were determined. In addition, FactSage equilibrium calculations were carried out in order to determine the conditions of formation, and to compare with the experimental observations. In the sample exposed to KIDECO slag, which has about 10 wt% $Fe_2O_3$, the formation of $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ was not observed. As the $Fe_2O_3$ concentration in slag increased, $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ formation and Fe depletion depth increased. Increasing $Fe_2O_3$ concentration also made the slag/refractory interface indistinguishable. Equilibrium calculations predicted that higher $Fe_2O_3$ concentrations favor chromite formation at gasification temperatures. The chromite formation was most favorable when the amount of $Cr_2O_3$ was limited, as in the case of dissolved $Cr_2O_3$ in slag. When the concentration of $Fe_2O_3$ in slag was less than 20%, the formation of chromite was least favorable in the system with equal amounts of slag and refractory.

Change in phases, microstructures, and magnetic properties by the variation of quench rate and heat treatment were investigated for melt-spun $Fe_{77}Pr_{15}C_8$ ribbons. The amorphization of as-spun ribbons increased as the quench rate increased. As a result, the ribbon quenched at 40 m/s was almost entirely amorphous. Similarly to cast alloys, the primary phase in crystalline ribbons quenched at 10 m/s was $\alpha$-Fe followed by the secondary $Fe_{17}Pr_2C_x$. Crystalline phases were still dominant in the ribbon spun at 20 m/s, but in this case crystallization of $Fe_{17}Pr_2C_x$ was remarkable with a little suppression of $\alpha$-Fe. At 30 m/s an amorphous phase obviously dominated in the as-spun ribbons with small fraction of crystals. Therefore, substantial amount of hard magnetic $Fe_{14}Pr_2C$ was not obtained from the as-spun state but, as in cast alloys, produced only by a solid-state transformation. Within a few minutes fine grains of $Fe_{14}Pr_2C$ were easily obtained at relatively low temperature when the degree of amorphization of as-spun ribbons was higher. The grain size of $Fe_{14}Pr_2C$ was well less than 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The ribbons quenched at 20 or 30 m/s yielded higher coercivities after heat treatment.

Nano-magnetic materials such as iron-nitrides have been actively studied as an alternative to the application of high density, high performance needs for next generation information storage and also alternative to the rare earth and neodymium magnet. $Fe_4N$ is the basic materials for magnetic storage media and is one of the important magnetic materials in focus because of its higher magnetic recording density and chemical stability. Single phase ${\gamma}^{\prime}-Fe_4N$ nanoparticles have been prepared by a PAD (Plasma Arc Discharge) method and nitriding in a $NH_3-H_2$ mixed gases at temperature, $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs. Also $Fe_{17}Sm_2N_x$ powders were synthesized by nitriding after reduction/diffusion of $Fe_{17}Sm_2$ to compare the magnetic properties with nano-sized $Fe_4N$ particles. The saturation magnetization of $Fe_4N$ and $Fe_{17}Sm_2N_x$ were 149 and 117 emu/g, respectively, but the coercive force was considerably smaller than that of bulk or acicular $Fe_4N$.

A method to determin Fe(II) and Fe(III) ion in aqueous solution by chemiluminescence method using a stopped flow system has been studied. The method is based on the increased chemiluminescence intensity with the addition of Fe(III) ion to a solution of lucigenin and hydrogen peroxide. The effects of KOH concentration, flow rate of reagents, $H_2O_2$ concentration and citric acid concentration used for the masking of Fe(II) ion on the chemilu-minescence intensity have been investigated. The calibration curve for total Fe was linear over the range from 1.0${\times}$$10^{-6}$ M to 1.0${\times}$$10^{-4}$M, coefficient of correlation was 0.996 and the detection limit was 1.0${\times}$$10^{-7}$M under the optimal exper-imental conditions of 4.0 M, 2.0 M, 3.5 mL/min for the concentration of $H_2O_2,$ KOH and flow rate of reagents, respec-tively. The calibration curve for Fe(Ⅲ) was linear over the range from 1.0${\times}$$10^{-6}$M to 1.0${\times}10^{-4}$ M, the coefficient of correlation was 0.997 and the detection limit was 5.0${\times}$$10^{-7}$M under the optimal experimental conditions.

Thermal properties of Fe- base amorpous alloys were investigated. $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were fabricated by melt spinning method and thermal analysis was done by differential scanning calorimeter. After isothermal crystallization. the Avrami exponents of $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were 1.8-2.2 and 2.5-4.0, respectively. It means the former alloy shows diffusion controlled growth and the latter one shows interface controlled growth. For $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys. the activation energies of isothermal crystallization was 353 and 371kJlmol. Also the activation energies of nucleation and growth were 301, 324kJlmol and 273. 30lkJ/mol, respectively. Thus $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy is considered to be more stable than $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy.

High Temperature wear behavior of plasma sprayed zirconia coatings containing up to 10 mol% of Fe$_2$O$_3$ were investigated. The wear test results showed that the addition of Fe$_2$O$_3$ particles to zirconia improved the wear resistance and lowered the coefficient of friction. Optimum concentration of Fe$_2$O$_3$ was about 5 mol%. Similar degradation behavior was observed at about 40$0^{\circ}C$ for both zirconia and Fe$_2$O$_3$ added zirconia coatings. The results indicated that stabilization of tetragonal phase and changes in mechanical properties such as hardness and toughness were responsible for tribological behavior of plasma sprayed zirconia contain Fe$_2$O$_3$.

La substituted perovskite $BiFeO_3$ have been prepared by a sol-gel method. Magnetic and structural properties of the powders were characterized with Mossbauer spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and TG-DTA. The crystal structure is found to be a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure with the lattice constant $\alpha=3.985{\AA}\;and\;\alpha=89.5^{\circ}.\;Bi_{2/3}La_{1/3}FeO_3$ powders that were annealed at and above $600^{\circ}C$ have a single-phase perovskite structure. However, powders annealed at $900^{\circ}C$ have a typical perovskite structure with small amount of $Bi_2O_3$ phase. The Neel temperature of $Bi_{2/3}La_{1/3}FeO_3$ is found to be $680\pm3K$. The isomer shift value at room temperature is found to be 0.27 mm/s relative to the Fe metal, which is consistent with high-spin $Fe^{3+}$ charge states. Debye temperature far$Bi_{2/3}La_{1/3}FeO_3$ is found to be $305\pm5K$. The average hyperfine field $H_{hf}(T)$ of the $Bi_{2/3}La_{1/3}FeO_3$, shows a temperature dependence of $[H_{hf}(T)-H_{hf}(0)]/H_{hf}(0)=-0.42(T/T_N)^{3/2}-0.13(T/T_N)^{5/2}$ for $T/T_N<0.7$ indicative of spin-wave excitation.

To develop array magnetic sensors, specular-type giant magnetoresistive- spin valve (GMR-SV) film of Glass/Ta(5)MiFe(7)/IrMn(10)NiFe(5)/$O_2$/CoFe(5)/Cu(2.6)/CoFe(5)/$O_2$/NiFe(7)/Ta(5)(nm) was deposited by using a high-vacuum sputtering system. One of 15 way sensors in the area of $8{\times}8mm^2$ was Patterned a size of $20{\times}80{\mu}m^2$ in multilayer sample by Photo-lithography. All of 15 sensors with Cu electrodes were measured a uniform magnetic properties by 2-probe method. The highest magnetic sensitivity of MR and output voltage measured nearby an external magnetic field of 5 Oe were MS = 0.5%/Oe and ${\triangle}$V= 3.0 mV, respectively. An easy-axis of top-free layers of $CoFe/O_2/NiFe$ with shape anisotropy was perpendicular to one of bottom-pinned layers $IrMn/NiFe/O_2/CoFe$. When the sensing current increased from 1 mA to 10 mA, the output working voltage uniformly increased and the magnetic sensitivity was almost stable to use the nano-magnetic devices with good sensitive properties.

Inhibitory effects of quercetin and rutin on lipid peroxidation of microsomes caused by iron(II) were investigated with respect to the scavenging action for oxygen radicals produced during oxidation of iron and the chelating action for iron. Lipid peroxidation by $Fe^{2+}$ alone was markedly inhibited by quercetin or rutin in a dose dependent fashion. Lipid peroxidation by ascorbate or NADPH in the presence of $Fe^{2+}$ was almost completely inhibited by both quercetin and rutin. The peroxidative action of $Fe^{2+}$ was inhibited by SOD and DABCO and slightly inhibited by catalase, DMSO and mannitol. Quercetin and rutin inhibited oxidation of $Fe^{2+}$ which is responsible for DETAPAC and they showed a significant initial chelating effect. Quercetin and rutin effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation by $H_{2}O_{2}$ and decomposed $H_{2}O_{2}$. Both $OH{\cdot}$ production in the presence of $Fe^{2+}$ and $^1O_2$ production by U.V. irradiation were inhibited by quercetin and rutin. Lipid peroxidations by $Cd^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ were almost completely inhibited by quercetin. Quercetin and rutin significantly prevented the loss of sulfhydryl groups by $Fe^{2+}$. These results suggest that inhibitory effects of quercetin and rutin on the peroxidative action of $Fe^{2+}$ in the presence or absence of ascorbate and NADPH may be attributable to their scavenging action on reactive oxygen species and chelating action on iron.
