Microwave dielectric characteristics and physical properties of the new Zr$_{1-x}$ (Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ (0.2$\leq$x$\geq$ 1.0) system have been investigated as a function of the amount of Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$substitution. With increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content (x), two phase regions were observed: $\alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x<0.4), mixture of the rutile type Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$Ti $O_4$ and the $\alpha$-Pb $O_2$ solid solution (x$\geq$0.4). In the$\alpha$-Pb $O_2$solid solution region below x<0.4, the Q.f$_{0}$ value sharply increased and the Temperature Coefficient of the Resonant Frequency(TCF) decreased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ contents while dielectric constant (K) showed nearly same value. In the mixture region above x$\geq$4, the dielectric constant and TCF increased with increasing Bn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$ $O_2$ content. Zr$_{1-x}$ (Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2/3}$)xTi $O_4$ materials have excellent microwave dielectric properties with K=44.0, Q.f$_{0}$ : 41000 GHz and TCF =-3.0 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at x=0.35.=0.35. x=0.35.=0.35.

This study investigates $Bi_2O_3$-$B_2O_3$-BaO-ZnO glass with variations of the $Co_3O_4$ content (0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt%) and the interaction between transparent dielectric and Ag electrodes heat-treated at $500-560^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The glass transition temperature, softening temperature and thermal expansion coefficient were $432^{\circ}C$, $460^{\circ}C$ and $81.4{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. The transmittance of 0.25 wt% $Co_3O_4$ to which dielectric was added was highest and was decreased due to coloration with the addition of more than 0.25 wt%. However, without $Co_3O_4$, the transmittance of the transparent layer was decreased due to the formation of $Ba_5Bi_3$; however, the occurrence of the crystal phase decreased as a result of the addition of $Co_3O_4$. The amount of $Co^{2+}$ ions increased as the $Co_3O_4$ increased. With a maximum of $Co^{3+}$ ions, the highest transmittance was observed.

II-VI의 넓은 밴드갭 (3.37 eV)을 가지는 ZnO는 solar cells, transparent conductive electrodes, ultraviolet light emitters, and chemical sensors 등에 응용되고 있다. 특히 고효율 ZnO계 발광 소자 구현을 위하여 MgO (7.7eV), CdO (2.0eV) 등의 고용을 통한 밴드갭을 엔지니어링 하며, 단파장 영역의 광원을 확보하기 위하여 MgO 첨가를 통한 밴드갭 에너지를 증가시키는 방향으로의 연구가 활발하다. 그러나 ZnO의 wurtzite 구조와 MgO의 rocksalt 구조의 상이한 결정구조로 인하여 Mg의 고용한계는 4 at. %, 4.1 eV 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 p-type Si (100), c-sapphire (0002)과 GaN 기판 위에 MgO (99.999 %)와 ZnO (99.999 %) 두가지 타겟을 사용하여 RF co-스퍼터링법으로 ZnMgO 박막을 증착 하였다. 이때 ZnO 타겟의 power 밀도는 고정 시키고 MgO 타겟의 power 밀도를 변화 시키며 Mg의 함량을 조절하여 그에 따른 광학적 구조적 특성의 변화를 연구 하였다. 성장된 ZnMgO 박막은 MgO 타겟의 power 밀도가 증가할 때 Mg의 함량이 10 at. %까지 증가 하며, 그에 따른 표면의 거칠기 및 입계 크기가 감소하며, 박막의 성장속도 또한 감소함을 SEM과 AFM을 통하여 알 수 있었다. XRD를 동하여 ZnMgO 박막의 (0002) peak의 위치는 $34.50^{\circ}{\sim}34.7^{\circ}$로 오른쪽으로 이동하며, c-축으로 성장하였음을 알 수 있다. PL과 UV룰 동하여, Mg의 함량이 증가 할수록 박막의 밴드갭 에너지는 3.2 eV에서 4.1 eV 로 증가하였다.

The stability constants of 1,15-diaza-3,4:12,13-dibenzo-5,8,11-trioxacycloheptadecane (NenOdien H$_4$, L) with transition metal ions such as $Co^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;and\;Zn^{2+}$ have been determined by potentiometry in 95% methanol solution at 25$^{\circ}$C. The complex formation of the NenOdien $_4$ with the transition metal ions depends on the basicity of the donor atoms. The order of complex stability was Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II). The geometries of the complexes in solid state were discussed by visible-near infrared and infrared spectrophotometry, elemental analysis and electro-conductivity. The results suggest that the geometries of the solid complexes are octahedral for $[CoL_2(OH_2)Cl]Cl{\cdot}2H_2O$, $[NiL_2(OH_2)Cl]Cl{\cdot}2H_2O$, and $[ZnLCl_2]{\cdot}\frac{1}{2}H_2O$ and square pyramidal for [CuLCl]Cl, respectively.

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) is a solid waste generated by the steel-scrap recycling process. It mainly consists of zinc oxides (ZnO), alumina ($Al_2O_3$), iron oxides ($Fe_2O_3$), and silica ($SiO_2$). Here we report the preparation and characterization of blue ceramic pigments using EAFD powder as a starting material. $(Zn(EAFD),Co)Al_2O_4$ blue ceramic pigment was prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The color characteristics of the pigment obtained were compared with those of pure $CoAl_2O_4$. The new pigment was characterized using XRD, CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ color-measurements, SEM, and EDX. The XRD analysis revealed that the $(Zn(EAFD),Co)Al_2O_4$ pigment was composed of mainly the spinel phase of $(Zn,Co)Al_2O_4$. The $Zn(EAFD)_{0.25}Co_{0.75}Al_2O_4$ pigments showed a vivid blue color with a $b^*$ value of -28.64 and a good glaze stability with a transparent glaze.

Liquid phases in ZnO varistors cause more complex phase development and microstructure, which makes the control of electrical properties and reliability more difficult. Therefore, we have investigated 2 mol% $CaCO_3$ doped $ZnO-Co_3O_4-Cr_2O_3-La_2O_3$ (ZCCLCa) bulk ceramics as one of the compositions without liquid phase sintering additive. The results were as follows: when $CaCO_3$ is added to ZCCLCa ($644{\Omega}cm$) acting as a simple ohmic resistor, CaO does not form a secondary phase with ZnO but is mostly distributed in the grain boundary and has excellent varistor characteristics (high nonlinear coefficient ${\alpha}=78$, low leakage current of $0.06{\mu}A/cm^2$, and high insulation resistance of $1{\times}10^{11}{\Omega}cm$). The main defects $Zn_i^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$ (AS: 0.16 eV, IS & MS: 0.20 eV) and $V_o^{\bullet}$ (AS: 0.29 eV, IS & MS: 0.37 eV) were found, and the grain boundaries had 1.1 eV with electrically single grain boundary. The resistance of each defect and grain boundary decreases exponentially with increasing the measurement temperature. However, the capacitance (0.2 nF) of the grain boundary was ~1/10 lower than that of the two defects (~3.8 nF, ~2.2 nF) and showed a tendency to decrease as the measurement temperature increased. Therefore, ZCCLCa varistors have high sintering temperature of $1,200^{\circ}C$ due to lack of liquid phase additives, but excellent varistor characteristics are exhibited, which means ZCCLCa is a good candidate for realizing chip type or disc type commercial varistor products with excellent performance.

In this study, porous ZnO sphere and Cu-ZnO composite were synthesized by coprecipitation method in diethylene glycol solvent. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared composite materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, $N_2$-sorption and $H_2$-TPR. A series of porous Cu-ZnO with different Cu contents (0, 6.6, 21.3, 36.4, 54.6, 77.8 wt%) was investigated for CO oxidation activity in a fixed bed reactor system. With increasing Cu content in Cu-ZnO the surface area and micropore volume of Cu-ZnO are decreased and Cu (36.4 wt%)-ZnO shows higher activity for CO oxidation compared to the others.

We have studied the structural and optical properties of the non-doped and Co 0.08 at.%, Co 0.02 at.%, and Co 0.11 at.% doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) synthesized using the simple low-temperature chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at 95℃ for 2 hours. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images confirmed the morphology of the ZnO NRs are affected by Co incorporation. As observed, the Co 0.08 at.% doped ZnO NRs have a larger dimension with an average diameter of 153.4 nm. According to the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) number #00-036-1451, the x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of non-doped and Co-doped ZnO NRs with the preferred orientation of ZnO NRs in the (002) plane possess polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with the space group P63mc. Optical absorbance indicates the Co 0.08 at.% doped ZnO NRs have stronger and blueshift bandgap energy (3.104 ev). The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO NRs exhibited excitonicrelates ultraviolet (UV) and defect-related green band (GB) emissions. By calculating the UV/GB intensity, the Co 0.08 at.% is the proper atomic percentage to have fewer intrinsic defects. We predict that Co-doped ZnO NRs induce a blueshift of near band edge (NBE) emission due to the Burstein-Moss effect. Meanwhile, the redshift of NBE emission is attributed to the modification of the lattice dimensions and exchange energy.

Reverse-Water-Gas-Shift reaction (RWGSR) was carried out over the ZnO, $Al_2O_3,\;and\;ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalysts at the temperature range from 400 to 700 ℃. The ZnO showed good specific reaction activity but this catalyst was deactivated. All the catalysts except the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) showed low stability for the RWGSR and was deactivated at the reaction temperature of 600 ℃. The $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was stable during 210 hrs under the reaction conditions of 600 ℃ and 150,000 GHSV, showing CO selectivity of 100% even at the pressure of 5 atm. The high stability of the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) was attributed to the prevention of ZnO reduction by the formation of $ZnAl_2O_4$ spinel structure. The spinel structure of $ZnAl_2O_4$ phase in the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was confirmed by XRD and electron diffraction.
