In this study, $FeSi_2$ as high temperature performance capable thermoelectric materials was manufactured by powder metallurgy.The as-casted Fe-Si alloy was annealed for homogenization below $1200^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. Due to its high brittleness, the cast alloy transformed to fine powders by ball-milling, followed by subsequent compaction (hydraulic pressure; 2 GPa) and sintering ($1200^{\circ}C$, 12 h). In order to precipitate ${\beta}-FeSi_2$, heat treatment was performed at $850^{\circ}C$ with varying dwell time (7, 15 and 55 h). As a result of this experiment thermoelectric phase ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ was quickly transformed by powder metallurgical process. There was not much change in powder factor between 7h and 55h specimens.

Nanoparticles $Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ is fabricated by a sol-gel method. The magnetic and structural properties of powders were investigated with XRD, SEM, $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, and VSM. $Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ powders annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ have a spinel structure and behaved superparamagnetically. The estimated size of $Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 11 nm. $Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500^{\circ}C$ has a typical spinel structure and is ferrimagnetic in nature. The isomer shifts indicate that the iron ions were ferric at the tetrahedral (A) and the octahedral (B). Blocking temperature $(T_B)\;of\;Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 260 K. The magnetic anisotropy constant of $Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3}Fe_2O_4$ annealed $300^{\circ}C$ were calculated to be $1.7X10^6\;ergs/cm^3$. Also, temperature of the sample increased up to $43^{\circ}C$ within 7 minutes under AC magnetic field of 7 MHz.

The hydrogen decrepitation behaviour of the $Sm_{2}Fe_{17} alloy containing 4at%Nb was examined by means of DTA and SEM metallography, and the magnetic properties of the alloy were studied by means of VSM or TMA. It has been found that a simple hydrogenation and degassing treatment for the alloy caused a poor hydrogen decrepitation. The cycle treatment consisting of repeated hydrogenation and degassing, however, caused a severe hydrogen decrepitation with a combination of intergranular and transgranular failure. The disproportionation temperature of the hydrogenated $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}-type alloy was enhanced significantly by small addition of Nb. It has also been found that the Curie temperature of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17} matrix phase in the Nb-containing alloy has been enhanced by the hydrogenation, and this was attributed to the increase in interatomic distance between the neighbouring iron atoms caused by the interstitial occupancy of the hydrogen atom into the $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}-type lattice. The magnetisation of the $Sm_{2}Fe_{17} alloy containing Nbwas found to be lower than that of the Nb-free alloy, and this was explained by the dilution effect due to the presence of the paramagnetic $Sm_{2}Fe_{17} phase.

Chemical analyses and Rietveld structural refinement with powder X-ray diffraction data were done for Nb-rich perovskite, named latrappite ($Ca_2NbFe^{3+}O_6$)from the Oka, Quebec, Canada. Latrappite is shown to be a member of a continuous solid solution of $CaTiO_3-NaNbO_3-Ca_2NbFe^{3+}O_6$ and approximately $(Ca_{1.5}Na_{0.4})\;(Nb_{0.1}Ti_{0.6}Fe_{0.4})O_6$ in composition. The crystal structure of latrappite, determined by Rietveld refinement, is similar to that of perovskite ($CaTiO_3$). It differs in that replacement of Ti by Nb and $Fe^{3+}$ results in greater distortion and tilting of the $TiO_6$ framework octahedra relative to $CaTiO_3$. Revised unit-cell parameters of latrappite are a=5.4474(4), b=5.5264(4), c=7.7519(5) ${\AA},\;V=233.4(3){\AA}^3$ space group Pbnm.

This study aims at making a research into the physical and chemical properties of the neolithic era potterys, which are unearthed from Gosanli, Sagaeli, Bukchonli, Samyangdong and Gonaili districts in Cheju Island, by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. This results are as follows. The principal component of five plain coarse pottery sherds by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrum at the room temperature is silicate mineral which is equal to SiO$_2$, and they also have a little magetite, hematite and goethite. The most existent Fe is Fe$\^$+3/ through Mossbauer spectroscopy analysis of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is presumed that the magnetic hyperfine splitting caused this result. The ratio of Fe$\^$2+//(Fe$\^$2+/+Fe$\^$3+/) is mostly zero by Mossbauer spectrum at the room temperature of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is thought because they were fired in the atmosphere.

Some alloying elements such as Cr, B, Ti and Si were added individually or as a mixture to Fe-30 at.%Al alloys. The alloys were melted using an arc furnace and then heat-treated for homogenization at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and followed by rolling at 1000$^{\circ}C$. The alloying elements on rolling characteristics were investigated by the microstructures and fracture mode before and after rolling. The microstructures before rolling showed that all of the alloys had equiaxed grains. On the other hand, the microstructures of rolling plane as well as its perpendicular plane became elongated after rolling. The alloys such as Fe-30Al, Fe-30Al-3Ti, Fe-30Al-0.5B, Fe-30Al-5Cr and Fe-30Al-3Ti-0.5B revealed better rolling behaviour from the point that intergranular and cleavage fractures were not fundamentally occurred. But the addition of 5Ti or 3Si to Fe-Al alloys had detrimental effects. The Ti-added alloy system such as Fe-30Al-5Ti, Fe-30Al-5Ti-5Cr, Fe-30Al-3Ti-5Cr and Fe-30Al-5Ti-0.5B were cracked through grain and showed cleavage fracture. The Si-added alloy system such as Fe-30Al-5Si, Fe-27Al-3Si and Fe-27Al-5Cr-3Si were cracked along the grain boundary and showed intergranular fracture. $DO_3{\leftrightarrow}B_2$ transition temperature of Fe-30at.%Al alloy was 520$^{\circ}C$, whereas the addition of 3Ti and 3Ti+0.5B comparably increased the temperature to 797 and 773$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Y-type barium ferrite $Ba_2Co_2Fe_{12}O_{22}$ was synthesized by a solid state reaction method. Effects of metal ion mole ratio and calcination temperatures on magnetic properties and microstructures of the synthesized powders were investigated. Phase analysis and microstructure observation were performed with a XRD (X-ray diffractometer) and a FESEM (field effect scanning electron microscope), respectively. Magnetic properties of the powders were measured with a VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer). Single phase Y-type was synthesized when metal ion mole fraction $Fe^{3+}:\;Ba^{2+}:\;Co^{2+}$ was 6 : 1 : 1 and calcination temperature was $1050\;{^{\circ}C}$. High saturation magnetization value of 39.1 emu/g was obtained when metal ion mole fraction $Fe^{3+}:\;Ba^{2+}:\;Co^{2+}$ was 8 : 1 : 1 and calcination temperature was $1200\;{^{\circ}C}$.

$TiO_2$ nanotube arraysdecorated with ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ were prepared by forming a nanotube-like $TiO_2$ film on a Ti sheet using an anodization process, followed by electrochemical deposition treatment to decorate hematite (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$) nanoparticles on the $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays. The SEM and XRD results revealed that the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles were homogeneously embedded on the surface of the $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays. The activity of hydrogen production by photocatalytic water decomposition for the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanotube array composite was examined under visible light irradiation.

Arc-melted Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2) Si alloys were oxidized at 700, 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. The oxidation resistance of Ti-4Fe was comparable to that of Ti-6Al-4V, while the oxidation resistance of Ti-(1,2) Si was superior to that of Ti-6Al-4V. Ti-2Si displayed the best oxidation resistance among the four alloys, but failed after oxidation at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 17h. The oxide scale formed on Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2)Si consisted of ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of $Al_2$$O_3$), ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of dissolved iron), and ($TiO_2$ plus a small concentration of amorphous $SiO_2$), respectively. The oxide grains of the surface scale of the four alloys were generally fine and round.

In this study, iron oxide (FeO_x) nanoparticles were synthesized using iron (Fe) by-products recovered from NdFeB permanent magnet scraps, and the effect of heat-treatment temperature on the physical properties of the FeO_x nanoparticles was investigated. In order to prepare the FeO_x nanoparticles, 2.0 M ammonia (NH₄OH) solution was added to an iron by-product solution diluted to c.a. 10 wt% in D.I. water, which led to the precipitation of the iron oxide precursor. Then, the FeO_x nanoparticles were synthesized by heat-treatment at 300 ℃, 400 ℃, 500 ℃ and 600 ℃. After that, the physical properties of the FeO_x nanoparticles were investigated in order to understand the effect of the heat-treatment temperature. The results of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the diffraction peak in accordance with the <104> direction increased as the heat-treatment increased, and a diffraction peak indicating the α-Fe₂O₃ crystal structure was detected at heat-treatment temperatures above 500 ℃. The BET specific surface area analysis revealed that the specific surface area decreased as the heat-treatment temperature increased to above 400 ℃. Observation with a high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed that rod-shaped nanoparticles were formed, and the size of the nanoparticles showed a tendency to increase as the heat-treatment temperature increased.
