Rare earth based calcium aluminate phosphor ($CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Nd^{3+}$) supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are synthesized by using sol-gel method, which are further characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Visible spectroscopy (DRS UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD pattern of as-prepared and sintered phosphor supported $TiO_2$ does not show the tendency to change the crystal structure from anatase to rutile phase up to $600^{\circ}C$. This indicates that the phosphor support might inhibit the densification and crystallite growth by providing dissimilar boundaries. The diffuse reflectance spectral (DRS) measurements showed shift towards longer wavelength indicating reduction in the band-gap energy as compared to free $TiO_2$. The FT-IR spectra of phosphor supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles show shift in the peak positions to lower wavelengths. This indicates that the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are not free, but covalently bonded to the phosphor support. TEM micrographs show presence of crystalline and spherical $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (8 - 15 nm diameter) dispersed uniformly on the surface of phosphor.

Green-emitting $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors for PDP(Plasma Display Panel) application were synthesized by colloidal seed-assisted spray pyrolysis process. The codoping with $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$, which replaces $Si^{4+}$ site in the willemite structure, was performed to improve the luminous properties of the $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The particles prepared by spray pyrolysis process using fumed silica colloidal solution had a spherical shape, small particle size, narrow size distribution, and non-aggregation characteristics. The $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ codoping amount affected the luminous characteristics of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The codoping with proper amounts of $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ improved both the photoluminescence efficiency and decay time of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphor particles. In spray pyrolysis, the post-treatment temperature is another factor controlling the luminous performance of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ phosphors. The $Zn_{1.9}SiO_4:Mn_{0.1}$ phosphor particles containing 0.1 mol% $Gd^{3+}/Li^+$ co-dopant had a 5% higher PL intensity than the commercial product and 5.7 ms decay time after post-treatment at $1,145^{\circ}C$.

Morphology of methane/propane clathrate hydrate crystal was investigated under different undercooling conditions. After the water pressurized with compound guest gas was fully saturated by agitation, medium within the vessel was rapidly undercooled and maintained at the constant temperature while the visual observations using microscope revealed detailed features of subsequent crystal nucleation, migration, growth and interference occurring within liquid pool. The growth of hydrate was always initiated with film formations at the bounding surface between bulk gas and liquid regions under all tested experimental conditions. Then a number of small crystals ascended, some of which settled beneath the hydrate film. When undercooling was relatively small, some of the settled crystals slowly grew into faceted columns. As the undercooling increased, the downward growth of crystals underneath the hydrate film became dendritic and occurred with greater rate and with finer arm spacing. The shapes of the floating crystals within liquid pool were diverse and included octahedron and triangular or hexagonal platelet. When the undercooling was small, the octahedral crystals were found dominant. As the undercooling increased, the shape of the floating crystals also became dendritic. The detailed growth characteristics of floating crystals are reported focused on the influences caused by undercooling and memory effect.

Dielectric properties of $(Sr_{l-x}{\cdot}Ca_x)_mTiO_3+0.006Nb_2O_5$($0.05{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$, 0.996$N_2$) were painted on the surface with CuO paste, and then annealed at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2hr. Grain size increased with increasing substitutional contents of Ca up to 15[mol%], but decreased with further substitution. In the specimens with $10{\sim}15[mol%]$ of Ca and m=1, excellent dielectric properties were obtained as follows; dielectric constant <25000, dielectric loss($tan{\delta}[%]$) <0.3[%] and capacitance change rate with temperature <${\pm}10[%]$, respectively. All the specimens in this study exhibited dielectric relaxation with frequency as a function of the temperature. The dispersive frequency was over $10^6[Hz]$.

$SrCo_{0.8}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ oxide was synthesized by solid state reaction method. Dense ceramic membrane was prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing and sintering at $1250^{\circ}C$. XRD result of membrane showed single perovskite structure. The oxygen permeability were measured under 0.21 atm of oxygen partial pressure ($P_{O_2}$) and between 800 and $950^{\circ}C$. The oxygen permeation flux of $SrCo_{0.8}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membrane was increased with the increasing temperature. The maximum oxygen permeation flux was $1.839mL/min{\cdot}cm^2$ at $950^{\circ}C$. Long period permeability experiment was carried out to confirm the phase stability and $CO_2$-tolerance of membrane containing Nb in the condition of air with $CO_2$ (500 ppm) as feed stream at $900^{\circ}C$. The phase stability and $CO_2$-tolerance of $SrCo_{0.8}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ were investigated by XRD and TG analysis. The result of $SrCo_{0.8}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ which exposed carbon dioxide for 100 hours indicated 8wt% of $SrCO_3$. But it was known that the level of $SrCO_3$ production dose not have a significant effect on oxygen permeability.

In present study, the cylindrical susceptor by the slip casting method was designed to apply high-temperature induction heating by using $(Mo,W)Si_2$ ceramics. $MoSi_2$-based materials were synthesized by SHS (Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) method. The phase and crystal structure of $MoSi_2$-based materials were confirmed by XRD analysis. The shape of cylindrical mold was synthesized for various thickness by using the slip casting method. Finally, the susceptor for induction heating was processed by sintering and heat treatment to form $SiO_2$ layer, which was confirmed on the surface of susceptor by SEM/EDS analysis. To evaluate the heating performance of $(Mo,W)Si_2$ cylinder susceptor, we measured the maximum surface temperature and heating rate in comparison with the rod heating element under constantly applied power. The induction heating of the $(Mo,W)Si_2$ cylinder showed excellent heating performance, reaches the maximum temperature of $1457^{\circ}C$, with the average heating rate of $19^{\circ}C/s$ at 2 kW

In this study, the leaching behavior of vanadium (V) was investigated through CaO roasting and sulfuric acid leaching from domestic V-bearing titanomagnetite (VTM). Changes in the phase according to the amount of CaO added and roasting temperature were analyzed. Regardless of the roasting conditions, perovskite (CaTiO₃) was preferred to form. When the CaO content was increased, the calcium ferrite (CaFeO_x) phase was formed; otherwise, ferrite (Fe₂O₃) was preferred. After CaO was roasted, leaching was performed for 6 h with 1M sulfuric acid at 50℃ and a 10% solid-liquid ratio. Results of leaching revealed that when the roasted product was sintered, V was not sufficiently oxidized, and the leaching efficiency decreased. In addition, when the roasting temperature was low, the leaching efficiency of V decreased due to the influence of unreacted excess CaO. To lower the leaching efficiency of iron and titanium in VTM concentrates, suppressing the formation of CaTiO₃ and CaFeO_x was necessary by minimizing the amount of CaO added. Consequently, a leaching efficiency of 86% V, 4.3% Fe, and 6.5% Ti was obtained when the roasted product of 1150℃ and 10 wt% CaO was leached.

High-T_C superconductivity (HTSC) has been the central issue in the field of condensed matter physics for decades. An essential part of the research on superconductivity is finding new exotic superconductors. It was recently suggested that Ir-substituted La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMIO) is a new high-T_C superconductor. However, systematic studies to experimentally verify the superconductivity have not been done. Here, we report the growth processes of LSMIO thin films and their electrical transport properties. We observed a clear negative correlation between the intensity of the laser utilized for film deposition and the Curie temperature of the deposited film. We attributed this effect to the suppression of Sr concentration in the LSMIO films as the laser intensity increased. However, our LSMIO films show conventional ferromagnetism instead of HTSC. To realize the HTSC in LSMIO systems, further exploration of diverse compositions of LSMIO compounds is essential.

$La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}$ oxide was synthesized by a citrate method and a typical dense membrane of perovskite oxide has been prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing and sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$. Precursor of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}$ prepared by citrate method was investigated by TGA and XRD. Metal-citrate complex in precursor was decomposed into perovskite oxide in the temperature range of $260{\sim}410^{\circ}C$ but XRD results showed $SrCO_3$ existed as impurity at less than $900^{\circ}C$. Electrical conductivity of membrane increased with increasing temperature but then decreased over $700^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere ($Po_2=0.2atm$) and $600^{\circ}C$ in He atmosphere ($Po_2=0.01atm$) respectively due to oxygen loss from the crystal lattice. The oxygen permeation flux increased with increasing temperature and maximum oxygen permeation flux of $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}$ membrane with 1.6 mm thickness was about $0.31cm^3/cm^2{\cdot}min$ at $950^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for oxygen permeation was 88.4 kJ/mol in the temperature range of $750{\sim}950^{\circ}C$. Perovskite structure of membrane was not changed after permeation test of 40 h and the membrane was stable without secondary phase change with 0.3 mol Sr addition.
