The (Sr$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$) thin films ale deposited OR Pt-Coated electrode(Pt/TiN/SiO$_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method with substitutional contents of Ca. The maximum grain of thin films is obtained at SCT15 thin film. The dielectric constant was increased with increasing the substitutional contents of Ca, while it was decreased if the substitutional contents of Ca exceeded over 15[mol%]. The temperature properties of the dielectric loss have a stable value within 2% independent of the substitutional contents of Ca.Ca.

Amorphous vanadium titanates (aVTOs) are examined for use as a negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries. These amorphous mixed oxides are synthesized in nanosized particles (<100 nm) and flocculated to form secondary particles. The $V^{5+}$ ions in aVTO are found to occupy tetrahedral sites, whereas the $Ti^{4+}$ ions show fivefold coordination. Both are uniformly dispersed at the atomic scale in the amorphous oxide matrix, which has abundant structural defects. The first reversible capacity of an aVTO electrode ($295mAhg^{-1}$) is larger than that observed for a physically mixed electrode (1:2 $aV_2O_5$ | $aTiO_2$, $245mAhg^{-1}$). The discrepancy seems to be due to the unique four-coordinated $V^{5+}$ ions in aVTO, which either are more electron-accepting or generate more structural defects that serve as $Li^+$ storage sites. Coin-type Li/aVTO cells show a large irreversible capacity in the first cycle. When they are prepared under nitrogen (aVTO-N), the population of surface hydroxyl groups is greatly reduced. These groups irreversibly produce highly resistive inorganic compounds (LiOH and $Li_2O$), leading to increased irreversible capacity and electrode resistance. As a result, the material prepared under nitrogen shows higher Coulombic efficiency and rate capability.

In order to increase the thermal stability at high temperatures, new hybrid ceramic percursors were synthesized by chemical modification of polycarbosilane (PCS). The structure of hybrid ceramic percursors were investigated by using FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR spectrometers. The syntheses of hybrid ceramic precursors were confirmed by monitoring the change of the adsorption peaks appearing at 0893, 1092, 609 $cm^{-1}$ / on the FT-IR spectra, and also by the presence of peaks at 3.8, 2.0, 0.6 ppm on the $^1$H-NMR spectra. The conversion of hybrid ceramic percursor was around 74 and 10 wt% higher than that of the pure PCS. After the heat-treatment at 150$0^{\circ}C$, the crystalline peaks for $\beta$-SiC were observed at 2$\theta$=35.7, 42.2, 61.0$^{\circ}$ on the X-ray powder diffractogram. It showed the conversion of hybrid ceramic percursor to crystalline $\beta$-SiC.

The purpose of this study was to manufacture a high-performance titanium yellow pigment. Anatase type $TiO_2$ was the skeleton of the pigment and $Sb_2O_3$ is used as the color assistant for the coloring agent, $Cr_2O_3$. Mixed raw materials for the pigment were $TiO_2$(98%), $Sb_2O_3$(99.5%), and $Cr_2O_3$(99.5%). The raw materials were mixed by a dry process and crystallized by calcination at $1,000{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$. The crystalline material was pulverized in a Jar Mill under $1{\mu}m$ by a wet process and dried for 12 hours at $100^{\circ}C$. The pigment was finally made by a fine grinding process. To determine the best temperature for calcination, 4 temperature sections ($1000^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, $1150^{\circ}C$, and $1200^{\circ}C$) were set up. The X-ray diffraction peak of the rutile crystalline structure was highest at $1,150^{\circ}C$. The yellow ceramic pigment, which has the rutile structure, was applied for coating materials. The synthesized pigments underwent a discoloration tests on the acid resistance, alkaline resistance, weather resistance and heat resistance. In addition, a detection test on harmful heavy metals ($Cr^{+6}$) was done. The resulting values (${\Delta}E$) of the weather resistance test (2000hr), acid resistance test, alkaline resistance test, and heat resistance test were 0.74, 0.16, 0.07 and 0.29. The resulting value for heavy metals testing was 34ppm.

We investigated the morphological characteristics of the pearlescent pigment by using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and thermal analyzer. The result is that the shape of pigment is platy polygonal form through observing the pearlescent pigment by the scanning electron microscope. The size of pigment is various and not formed in standardized size or shape. The pigment flakes were measured about from $30{\mu}m$ to $300{\mu}m$. The tip of the piece of pigment is pointed shape or angled. The result of observing them by the scanning electron microscope in magnifying high power is that the edge and the lateral face of them is an round form and the measurement of thickness is about $9{\mu}m$. As well using the high magnification scanning electron microscope, the surface of the pigment flake observed like rugged as coating with the $TiO_2$ element, the diameter of the coating particle is around 60 nm, then the coating particle consists of granular substance. Analysis of the configuration elements of pearlescent pigment using by the energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry is that O, Si, C, Na, Ca, Ti, Zn detected in the surface of pigment and its lateral face identifies similar components. In thermal analysis, there are no contained quantity differences between them in beginning from $100^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ showing thermal analysis, 1.1% out of contained quantity reduced at $115^{\circ}C$, 1.7% dropped at $416^{\circ}C$, and 1.9% decreased at $797^{\circ}C$.

In the present study, three clay deposits, named the Seongsan, Ogmaesan and Haenam deposits, were investigated. The altered zones are recognized in the hydrothermally altered rocks of the clay deposits from the center of the alteration to the margin: Kaolin, Kaolin-Quartz, Quartz, Sericite and Chlorite zones in the Seongsan deposits; Quartz zone, Alunite zone, Kaolin zone, Sericite zone and Chlorite zone in the Ogmaesan deposits; Quartz zone, Pyrophyllite zone, Sericite zone and Chlorite zone in the Haenam deposits. These zones can be grouped into two types of alteration: Acidic alteration such as Pyrophyllite zone, Alunite zone, Quartz zone, Kaolin zone, Kaolin-Quartz zone and a part of Sericite zone; Propylitic alteration such as Chlorite zone and a part of Sericite zone. All clay deposits belong to high-sulfidation (acid-sulfate) system. The rocks of the acidic alterations are composed of pyrophyllite, alunite, kaolin minerals, sericite, quartz and pyrite. On the basis of bulk chemical compositions, it was found that some components such as $SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, FeO, MgO, CaO, $K_2O$ and $Na_2O$ were mobilized considerably from the original rocks. The mobility of these major elements is related to, and controls, mineral assemblages in each altered zone. Polytypes of sericite are determined as $2M_1$ and 1M by X-ray diffraction method. The amount of $2M_1$ is nearly equal to that of 1M in the Seongsan deposits whereas $2M_1$ is less and higher than that of 1M in the Ogmaesan and the Haenam deposits. These facts indicate that formation temperature of sericite is relatively high in the Haenam deposits, moderate in the Seongsan deposits, and low in the Ogmaesan deposits. The ratios of Na/(K+Na) for alunite in the Ogmaesan deposits determined by electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA) are higher than those in the Seongsan deposits. Thus, the alunite of the Ogmaesan deposits must have been formed from the solutions with relatively high aqueous Na/(K+Na) ratios and low pH at a high temperature rather than that of the Seongsan deposits. From all data, it is clarified that alunite is hypogene in origin, and has been formed by oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the steam-heated environment, and that alunite has been produced by the spectacular solfataric alteration observed at the surface of some present-day hydrothermal systems.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been recognized as major contributor to air pollution. Catalytic oxidation in VOCs can give high efficiency at low temperature. In this study, monometallic Pt, Ir and bimetallic Pt-Ir were supported to $TiO_2$. Xylene, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) were used as reactants. The monometallic or bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the excess wetness impregnation method and characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM analysis. Result reveal that Pt catalyst has higher conversion than Ir catalyst and Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts. The existence of multipoint actives in, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts gives improved performance for the Pt metalstate. Bimetallic catalysts have higher conversion for VOCs than monometallic ones. The addition, VOCs oxidation follows first order kinetics. The addition of small amount of Ir to Pt promotes oxidation conversion of VOCs.

The Daeyou pegmatite is located at the central westerm part of the peninsula. Geology of the mine area consists mainy of pre-Combrian granite gneiss and leucoratic gneiss which are intruded by Mesozoic granites. The pegmatite deposits occur within granite gneiss. Most of pegmatites contain quartz, perthite, microcline-perthite, microcline, sodic plagioclase and tourmaline as dominant minerals with accessory minerals of mica (muscovite, biotite, sericite)and pyrite. Tourmaline occurs as four types: 1) unaltered single crystals, 2) patially sericitized grains bordered by sericite assemblage, 3) tourmaline intergrown with feldspar and qurtz grains, and 4) tourmaline introduced veinlet/ On the basic of optical, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis, the composition of tourmaline mostly falls on the schorl-elbaite join, in the composition of tourmaline mostly falls on the schorl-elbraite join, in the composition of schorl end member from 0 to about 50%. In spite of the different occurrences, chemical composition of tourmaline shows the limited ranges as follows: $SiO_{2}$ (34.53~35.01 wt.%), $Al_{2}O_{3}$ (33.58~34.26wt.%), FeO (13.73~14.17wt.%), $Na_{2}O$ (1.60~1.72wt.%), MgO (0.56~0.72wt.%), MnO (0.12~0.18wt.%), CaO (0.02~0.06wt.%), $K_{2}O$(0.02~0.03wt.%) $TiO_{2}$ (0.02~0.05wt.%) and $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ (0.02~0.03wt.%). K-Ar ages of the muscovite and sericite fall between 1010$\pm$15 and 1074$\pm$16Ma and between 161.56$\pm$3.09 and 161.67$\pm$Ma, respectivrly. This means that hydrothrmal alteration occurred during middle Jurassic, whereas the pegmatite was initally formed during the late proterozoic age.

Pure titanium rods were oxidized by anodic oxidation, furnace oxidation and flame oxidation and used as a electrode in the photodecomposition of water. The maximum photoelectrochemical conversion efficiency(${\eta}$) was found for flame oxidized electrode ($1200^{\circ}C$ for 2 min in air), 0.8 %. Anodically oxidized electrodes have minimum photoelectrochemical conversion efficiencies, 0.3 %. Furnace oxidized electrode ($800^{\circ}C$ for 10min in air) has 0.5% phtoelectrochemical efficiency and shows a band-gap energy of about 2.9eV. The efficiency shows a parallelism with the presence of the metallic interstitial compound $TiO_{O+X}$(X < 0.33) at the metal-semiconductor interface, the thickness of the sub oxide layer and that of the external rutile scale.

$(Na_{0.5}LaK_{0.5})NbO_3$ (NKN) thin films were fabricated by the alkoxide-based MOD method. NKN stock solutions were made spin-coated onto the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. The structural properties of the NKN thin films examined by x-ray diffraction. The perovskite phase was obtained as a function of the annealing temperature from $550^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The crystallinity and grain size of the NKN thin films increased with increasing annealing temperature. The dielectric constants and loss of the NKN thin films annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ ($t_{eq}$=2.35 nm) showed 323 and 0.025.
