($Ti_{ 1-x}$$Al_{ x}$)N has been deposited on high speed steel (HSS) substrate using PECVD from the gas mixture of $TiC1_4$, $AlC1_4$, $NH_3$, $H_2$, and Ar. The correlation between the microstructure and the mechanical properties was investigated. ($Ti_{1-x}$$Al_{ x}$)N showed single phase NaCl-structure up to X=0.87, while a mixed phase of NaCl Type (Ti, Al) N and wurtzite structure AlN was observed for 0.87$Ti_{1-x}$ $Al_{x}$ )N became by degrees as increasing X, which made the hardness of the coating higher by Al addition. When the coating was composed of a mixed phase, however, the hardness decreased abruptly due to the effect of soft AlN phase. The wear volume of the coatings could be obtained as the concentration of the coating was varied, and the relation between the wear volume and hardness or the adhesion strength was discussed.

The formation of $Co_nTiO_{n+2}$ compounds, i.e., $CoTiO_3$ and $CO_2TiO_4$, in a 5wt% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst after calcination at different temperatures has been characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements to verify our earlier model associated with $CO_3O_4$ nanoparticles present in the catalyst, and laboratory-synthesized $Co_nTiO_{n+2}$ chemicals have been employed to directly measure their activity profiles for CO oxidation at $100^{\circ}C$. SEM measurements with the synthetic $CoTiO_3$ and $CO_2TiO_4$ gave the respective tetragonal and rhombohedral morphology structures, in good agreement with the earlier XRD results. Weak Raman peaks at 239, 267 and 336 $cm^{-1}$ appeared on 5wt% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ after calcination at $570^{\circ}C$ but not on the catalyst calcined at $450^{\circ}C$, and these peaks were observed for the $Co_nTiO_{n+2}$ compounds, particularly $CoTiO_3$. All samples of the two cobalt titanate possessed O ls XPS spectra comprised of strong peaks at $530.0{\pm}0.1$ eV with a shoulder at a 532.2-eV binding energy. The O ls structure at binding energies near 530.0 eV was shown for a sample of 5 wt% $CoO_x/TiO_2$, irrespective to calcination temperature. The noticeable difference between the catalyst calcined at 450 and $570^{\circ}C$ is the 532.2 eV shoulder which was indicative of the formation of the $Co_nTiO_{n+2}$ compounds in the catalyst. No long-life activity maintenance of the synthetic $Co_nTiO_{n+2}$ compounds for CO oxidation at $100^{\circ}C$ was a good vehicle to strongly sup port the reason why the supported $CoO_x$ catalyst after calcination at $570^{\circ}C$ had been practically inactive for the oxidation reaction in our previous study; consequently, the earlier proposed model for the $CO_3O_4$ nanoparticles existing with the catalyst following calcination at different temperatures is very consistent with the characterization results and activity measurements with the cobalt titanates.

It has been found that B is very effective for the increase of magnetization and Curie temperature in $NdFe_{11}TiN_x$-type compounds having $ThMN_{12}$-type structure. Experimental results have shown that magnetization and Curie temperature of $NdFe_{10.7}TiB_{0.3}N_x$ are 148 $Am^2$/kg and $560^{\circ}C,$ respectively, by about 20 $Am^2$/kg and $90^{\circ}C$ higher than those of $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}N_x.$ On the other hand, Mo is effective for the increase of anisotropy field, and it seems to strongly inhibit the formation of ${\alpha}-Fe$ phase during the nitrification treatement. The anisotropy field of $NdFe_{10.7}TiMo_{0.3}N_x$ is about 7960 kA/m (100 kOe) which is about 1590 kA/m (20 kOe) higher than that of $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}N_x$.

Pure titanium and its alloys are drastically used in implant materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. However, the widely used Ti-6Al-4V is found to release toxic ions (Al and V) into the body, leading to undesirable long-term effects. Ti-6Al-4V has much higher elastic modulus than cortical bone. Therefore, titanium alloys with low elastic modulus have been developed as biomaterials to minimize stress shielding. For this reason, Ti-30Ta-xZr alloy systems have been studied in this study. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr(5, 10 and 15 wt%) were 10 times melted to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace and then homogenized for 24 hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were cut and polished for corrosion test and Ti coating and then coated with TiN, respectively, by using DC magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface were carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM). The electrochemical characteristics were examined using potentiodynamic (- 1500 mV~+ 2000 mV) and AC impedance spectroscopy(100 kHz~10 mHz) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The equiaxed structure was changed to needle-like structure with increasing Zr content. The surface defects and structures were covered with TiN/Ti coated layer. From the polarization behavior in 0.9% NaCl solution, The corrosion current density of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys decreased as Zr content increased, whereas, the corrosion potential of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys increased as Zr content increased. The corrosion resistance of TiN/Ti-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys were higher than that of the TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys. From the AC impedance in 0.9% NaCl solution, polarization resistance($R_p$) value of TiN/Ti coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed higher than that of TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys.

$(1-x)BaTiO_3+(x)Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic technique, i.e., solid state reaction at high temperature. The concentration of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3C$ was varied from 0.01 to 0.15 mole fraction. In order to study the phase transitions of our ceramics, the Raman scattering spectra were measured as functions of concentration x and temperature. It was found that the soluble limit of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ in $BaTiO_3$ was the x=0.05 composition and $BaTiO_3$ phase disappeared above x=0.10. A new phase identified as $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ was detected in all samples of our compositions. The Curie temperature shifts up to $130^{\circ}C$ as the concentration x increases from zero to 0.05 and shift down to $95^{\circ}C$ as further increases to 0.08. For the increase of the Curie temperature, it is suggested that it can result from the inhibition of displacement of $Ti^{4+}$ in the distorted octahedron due to well dispersed $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ and $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ phase.

The effect of WO3 addition on microwave dielectric properties of BaTiO3-3{(1-x)TiO2-xWO3} system was studied. Addition of WO3 to this system resulted in the formation of BaWO4 and Ba2Ti9O20 phases. Both the dielectric constant (K) and the temperature coefficientof resonant frequency (Tf) were decreased with the amount of WO3 addition. The value of Q$\times$f0 was increased as the amount of WO3 was increased up to x=0.0275, and then decreased when x exceeded 0.03. At x=0.0275, this ceramic showed excellent microwave proprties of K=34-35, Q$\times$f0=50,000-53,000, and near zero ppm/$^{\circ}C$ of Tf.

Perovskite type oxides of $SrTiO_3,SrZrO_3,and\;SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ have been systematically synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$and $1550^{\circ}C$ with specimens containing additions of up to x=0.9 of zirconium by solid state reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the compound $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ has cubic structure. The lattice paramters of $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ solid solutions obey the Vegard's law and fairly large increase in volume can acompany the formation of this solution with increasing Zr content(X). Assuming the lattice constants of perovskite type compounds $A(B_{1-x}B'_x)O_3$where $B_{1-x}B'_x$ is $Ti_{1-x}Zr_x$, to be a linear function of the ionic radii of B and B' ions, the disordered ion pair of $Ti^{4+}$and $Zr^{4+}$ was verified from the lattice constants of a series compounds varying x=0,0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.9, and 1.0 with known isovalent pairs.

The microwave dielectric properties and microstructures of the Complex Perovskite (1-x)$(Li_{1/2}Sm_{1/2})TiO_3-x (Na_{1/2}Sm_{1/2})TiO_3$(LNST) system were investigated using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). LNST had not only the antiphase tilting of oxygen octahedron but also the inphase tilting of oxygen octahedron and the antiparallel shift of cations. Also, when $0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$, LNST had the vacancy ordering of A-sites because of the evaporation of Li ions. From the observation of the microstructure, abnormal grain growth phenomena were observed over the whole range of x. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($T_{cf}$) of the $({Li_{1/2}}^{+1}{Sm_{1/2}}^{+3})TiO_3$(LST) system has a large negative value ($-220ppm/^{\circ}C$) but the $({Na_{1/2}}^{+1}{Sm_{1/2}}^{+3})TiO_3$(NST) system which substituted $Na^{+1}$ has a large positive value ($+173ppm/^{\circ}C$). The dielectric properties of ${\varepsilon}_r=103,\;Q*f_{0}=3,700GHz$ and $T_{cf}=+50ppm/^{\circ}C$ at 4GHz were obtained when x =0.4.

The (1-x)MgTiO$_3$-xSrTiO$_3$(x=0.02∼0.08) ceramics were fabricated by conventional mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 1250$^{\circ}C$∼1400$^{\circ}C$, 2hr., respectively. The structural and microwave dielectric properties were investigated by varying sintering temperature and composition ratio. In the (1-x)MgTiO$_3$-xSrTiO$_3$(x=0.02) ceramics, the cubic SrTiO$_3$and hexagonal MgTiO$_3$phases were coexisted. The dielectric constant was increased and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency( $\tau_f$) was decreased with addition of SrTiO$_3$. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau_f$) was gradually varied from negative value to positive value with increasing the SrTiO$_3$.
