The grain-boundary microcracking materials in the system $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ -ZrTiO$_4$(ZAT) is influenced by the thermal expansion anisotropy. The range of ZAT compositions investigated had showed very low thermal expansions of 0.3~1.3$\times$10$^{-6}$ K loin compared to 8.29$\times$10$^{6}$ K of pure ZrTiO$_4$and 0.68$\times$10$^{6}$ K of polycrystalline $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ , respectively, compared with the theoretical thermal expansion coefficient for a single crystal of $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ , 9.70$\times$10$^{6}$ K. The low thermal expansion and microcraking temperature are apparently due to a combination of thermal contraction and expansion caused by the large thermal expansion anisotropy of the crystal a ies of the $Al_2$TiO$_{5}$ phase.

A series of sitting-atop (SAT) complexes, [(ZrO)$H_2t(X)pp(NO_3)_2$], have been prepared via the reactions of free base meso-tetraarylporphyrins, $H_2$t(X)pp, with zirconyl nitrate hydrate, ZrO(N$O_3)_2{\cdot}xH_2$O. The products have been characterized by a variety of methods including $^1H\;NMR,\;^{13}C$ NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, elemental analysis and conductance measurements. The data indicate that the meso-tetraarylporphyrins coordinate with two pyrrolenine nitrogen atoms to the zirconyl cation located above the distorted porphyrin plane and two protons remain on the pyrrole nitrogens. Such half sandwich-type sitting-atop complexes may be considered as models for the initial steps of the metallation of the macrocycles.

원자력 발전소의 핵연료 피복관 재료로 사용되고 있는 Zr합금의 부식특성에 미치는 Sn의 영향을 조사하기 위해 Sn 함량을 0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0wt.%로 조절한 Zr-xSn 2원계 합금과 Zr-0.4Nb-xSn 3원계 합금을 제조하여 36$0^{\circ}C$ 물 분위기의 mini-autoclave에서 부식실험을 수행하였다. 2원계 합금에서 Sn이 0.5, 0.8, 1.5wt.% 첨가된 합금에서는 15일에서 속도천이가 발생한 후 급격한 부식 가속 현상이 나타났으나, 2.0wt.%가 첨가된 합금에서는 100일까지 부식 실험에서도 천이 현상을 보이지 않는 매우 높은 부식 저항성을 보였다. 그러나 3원계 합금에서는 2원계 합금과는 달리 40일 시험에서도 모든 합금들이 속도 천이 현상을 보이지 않고 천이전 영역에서의 부식 거동을 보이며, Sn 함량 변화에 따른 부식 속도의 차이를 감지할 수 없었다. 이러한 경향은 2원계 합금과 3원계 합금에서 Sn의 고용도 차, 미량 첨가된 Nb의 영향 및 석출물의 특성과 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 수소 흡수율면에서도 Sn 함량 변화에 따라 부식 거동과 비슷한 경향을 보이면서 2.0wt.%에서 가장 낮은 수소흡수율을 보였다 천이전 영역에서 산화막 구조 관찰 결과 천이전 영역의 모든 산화막에서 보호적 성질을 나타내는 tetragonal-ZrO$_2$가 관찰되었는데, tetragonal-ZrO$_2$의 분율은 Sn 함량에 따라 거의 같게 나타났다.

In recent years Sol-Gel processing provides an interesting alternative method for the fabrication of ferroelectric thin layers and powder. PZT powder was prepared from an alkoxide-based solution by a Sol-Gel method. Gelation of synthesized complex solutions, microstructure, thermal analysis and crystallization behaviors of the calcined powder were studied in accordance with a water content and a catalyst. Especially gelation and crystallization behavior were analysed with the change of pH. The gelation time decreased as the pH of the mixed solution increased. For PZT powder with 650.deg. C heat treatment, 100% perovskite phase was formed by using either acidic or basic catalyst. By using either acidic or basic catalyst, we were able to get very fine powders of uniform shape with an average particle size of 0.8-1.mu.m.

Y2O3 and Nb2O5 co-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystals((Y, Nb)-TZP) containing 10 to 30 vol% $Al_2O_3$ were prepared and hydrothermal stability of the composites was evaluated after aging for 5 h at the temperature range of $150^{\circ}C$ $250^{\circ}C$ under 4 MPa $H_2O$ vapor pressure in an autoclave. The (Y, Nb)-TZP/Al2O3 composites showed excellent phase stability under the hydrothermal conditions, as compared with the 3Y-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ composites, due to the combined effects of the Y-Nb ordering in the $t-ZrO_2$ lattice, the reduction of oxygen vacancy concentration, and the $Al_2O_3$ addition. The strength and fracture toughness of the (Y, Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ composite, containing 20 vol% of 2.8 $Al_2O_3$ particles, were 700 MPa and 8.1 MP.$am^{1/2}$, respectively.

The Weolaksan and Sokrisan granites yield high SiO₂ and alkali (Na₂O+K₂O) contents and low CaO and P₂O₅ contents. The Al saturation index is ≥1.3, which indicates that the granites are peraluminous. The mean U and Th contents are 8.3 and 39.3 ppm, respectively, higher than typical Mesozoic granites in South Korea and about twice the global mean for granitic rocks. The causes of such high radioelement contents are related to high degrees of fractionation and the crustal origin of the granites. U- and Thbearing radioactive minerals occur in the granites include zircon, thorite, monazite, xenotime, fergusonite and uraninite. The fact that the mean Th/U ratio of the granites (5.4) is similar to the global average crustal value suggests that the radioelement contents of granite were controlled by the crustal source material. Given the correlation of Zr, Y, and heavy rare earth elements for U and Th, radioelements are more likely hosted by xenotime than zircon and monazite.

$\beta$-Sialon powder was prepared by the reduction-nitridation reaction from the mixture of Wando Pyrophyllite and carbon black at 135$0^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere. $\beta$-SiC powder was added to the prepared $\beta$-Sialon powder to make $\beta$-Sialon-SiC composite. The $\beta$-Sialon-SiC composites were sintered pressurelessly at 175$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h, using $Y_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$(monoclinic) as sintering aids. Comparatively higher values of the fracture toughness (3.8 MN/㎥/2), M.O.R. (470 MN/$m^2$) and vickers microhardness (13.7 MN/$m^2$) were obtained when 10 wt% $Y_2O_3$ was added as a sintering aid. The improved fracture toughness and M.O.R. are assumed to be the results of crack deflection and crack branching by the second phase SiC particles.

Garnet has been considered as a possible matrix for the immobilization of radioactive actinides. It is expected that Fe­based garnet be able to have the high substitution ability of actinide elements because ionic radius of Fe in tetrahedral site is larger than that of Si of Si­based garnet. Accordingly, we synthesized Fe­garnet with the batch composition of $Ca_{2,5}$C $e_{0.5}$Z $r_2$F $e_3$ $O_{12}$ and $Ca_2$CeZrFeF $e_3$ $O_{12}$ and studied their phase relations and properties. Mixed samples were fabricated in pellet forms under the pressure of 400 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and were sintered in the temperature range of 1100∼140$0^{\circ}C$ in atmospheric conditions. Phase identification and chemical composition of synthesized samples were analyzed by XRD and SEM/EDS. In results, where the compounds were sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$, we optimally obtained Fe­garnets as the main phase, even though some minor phases like perovskite were included. The compositions of Fe­garnets synthesized from the batch compositions of $Ca_{2,5}$C $e_{0.5}$Z $r_2$F $e_3$ $O_{12}$ and $Ca_2$CeZrFeF $e_3$ $O_{12}$, are $Ca_{2.5­3.2}$C $e_{0.3­0.7}$Z $r_{1.8­2.8}$F $e_{1.9­3.2}$ $O_{12}$ and $Ca_{2.2­2.5}$C $e_{0.8­1.0}$Z $r_{1.3­1.6}$ F $e_{0.4­.07}$ F $e_{3­3.2}$ $O_{12}$, respectively. Ca contents were exceeded and Ce contents were exceeded or depleted in 8­coodinated site, comparing to the initial batch composition. These results were caused by the compensation of the difference of ionic radius between Ca and Ce.
