The structural, electrical and gas sensing characteristics of $LaFeO_3$ thin films fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method on $Al_2O_3$ substrates were investigated. (121) domonant crystalline plane was observed for the films heat-treated at above $600^{\circ}C$ and gas sensing properties showed p-type semiconductor behaviors. Gas sensing characteristics of the $LaFeO_3$ thin films was studied as a function of film thicknesses and heat treatment temperatures. While the variation of the film thickness showed a little effect on the sensitivity, the heat treatment temperature was critical to the sensitivity. The thin films with thickness of 400 nm heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$ showed the sensitivity of 400% for 5000ppm CO and 60% for 350ppm $NH_3$ at the working temperature of $300^{\circ}C$.

Doped and undoped barium hexaferrite powders ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$, $Ba_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}Fe_{12}O_{19}$ and $Ba_{0.7}La_{0.3}Fe_{12}O_{19}$) were produced by the sol-gel method. The effects of substituting elements were studied in terms of the magnetic properties of barium hexaferrite powders. The magnetic properties were remarkably changed by the substitution of $La^{3+}$ and $Ti^{4+}$ ions for the $Ba^{2+}$ ion and were accompanied by oxygen deficiency in the $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$. Coercivities ($H_C$) from 4200 to 5100 Oe, remanences ($M_R$) from 22 to 49 emu/g and saturation magnetizations ($M_S$) from 41 to 73 emu/g were obtained for different samples. The obtained results were discussed in detail.

The crystalline structure of $LaTi_{0.8}V_{0.2}O_3$ solid solutions, prepared by arc-melting palletized mixtures of predried $La_2O_3,\;V_2O_3,\;TiO_2$, and Ti, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and computer image simulation. Computer image simulations were performed by the multislice method for a wide range of sample thickness and defocusing value. The structure of $LaTi_{0.8}V_{0.2}O_3$ was determined as a $GdFeO_3$-type orthorhombic $(a\approx5.58{\AA},\;b\approx7.89{\AA},\;and\;c\approx5.58{\AA})$ with a space group $P_{nma-}$. No evidence of ordering of Ti and V atoms in $SaTi_{0.8}V_{0.2}O_3$ was found.

The electrochemical performance and Cr poisoning behavior of $La_{1-x}Ba_xCo_{0.9}Fe_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LBCF, x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) and $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LSCF) cathodes were investigated for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The polarization resistance of the LBCF/GDC/LBCF symmetrical cell was found to decrease with increasing Ba content (x value). This phenomenon might be associated with the high oxygen vacancy concentration in the LBCF sample, with x = 0.5. In addition, there was no chromium poisoning in the LBCF cathode. On the other hand, the polarization resistance of the LSCF cathode was found to significantly increase after exposure to gaseous chromium species; it appears that this result stemmed from the formation of $SrCrO_4$ phase. Therefore, it can be expected that LBCF can be a durable potential cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC).

Thick film formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensors were fabricated by using $La_1_{-x}Sr_xMO_3$ (M= Fe, Co, Mn) ceramics. The powders of $La_1_{-x}Sr_xMO_3$ (M=Fe, Co, Mn) were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction method. By using the $La_1_{-x}Sr_xMO_3$ (M=Fe, Co, Mn) paste, the thick-film formaldehyde sensors were prepared on the alumina substrate by silkscreen printing method. The experimental results revealed that $La_1_{-x}Sr_xMO_3$ (M= Fe, Co, Mn) ceramic powder has a perovskite structure and the thick-film sensor shows excellent gas-sensing characteristics to formaldehyde gas (sensitivity of $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}FeO_3$, S= 14.7 at operating temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ in 50 ppm HCHO ambient).

고상 반응법을 이용하여 $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Ga_{0.6}Fe_{0.4}O_{3-{\delta}}$ 분말을 합성하고 혼합전도체 분리막을 소결하여 제조하였다. 제조된 분리막은 $LaGaO_3$에 일치하는 폐롭스카이트 결정구조를 나타내었으며 95% 이상의 높은 상대밀도를 나타내었다. 스크린 프린팅 방법으로 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}CoO_{3-{\delta}}$ 후막을 disk의 양 표면에 코팅하였으며 코팅 막은 비교적 치밀한 미세구조를 나타내었다. 코팅되지 않은 분리막과 코팅된 분리막의 산소투과 성능을 비교 실험한 결과 $850^{\circ}C$에서 동일한 두께의 코팅된 분리막의 정상상태 산소 투과 유속이 $0.7{m{\ell}}/min.cm^2$ 정도로 코팅되지 않은 분리막에 비해 약 2~3배로 높게 나타났다.

Perovskite-type ceramic powder, $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$, have been synthesized successfully by the citrate method. As a result of TGA for precursor, metal-citrate complex in precursor was decomposed in the temperature range of $150{\sim}650^{\circ}C$. XRD analysis showed the single perovskite structure was observed over $1,000^{\circ}C$ without impurities. Typical dense membrane with 1.6 mm thickness has been prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing unilaterally and sintering at $1,300^{\circ}C$. The electrical conductivity of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membrane increased with increasing temperature at atmosphere of air and then decreased over $600^{\circ}C$ due to oxygen loss from the crystal lattice. The oxygen flux of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membrane in the range of 700 to $950^{\circ}C$ increased with the increasing temperature from 0.045 to $0.415ml/cm^2{\cdot}min$. The activation energy for oxygen permeation was calculated to be 89.17 kJ/mol.
