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.

비휘발성 메모리 소자로의 응용의 관점에서, sol-gel 방법으로 La 을 10mo1% 로 고정시킨 PLZT (10/y/z) 박막을 제작하여 Zr/Ti 조성비에 따른 구조적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 로제트와 파이로클로르 상이 관찰되었으며, Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, (100) 배향성, 결정립 크기와 표면 거칠기는 증가되었다. 또한 Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, 10㎑ 에서 비유전율은 600 에서 400 으로 감소된 반면, 유전손실은 0.028 에서 0.053 로 증가되었으며, 170 ㎸/cm 에서 누설전류밀도는 1.64×$10^{-6}$ 에서 1.26×$10^{-7}$A/㎠ 으로 감소되었다. 그리고 ± 170㎸/㎝ 에서 측정한 PLZT 박막의 이력곡선을 측정한 결과, Zr/Ti 조성비가 40/60 에서 0/100 로 변화함에 따라 PLZT 박막의 잔류분극과 항전계는 6.62 에서 12.86 μC/cm2, 32.15 에서 56.45㎸/㎝ 로 각각 증가되었으며, 피로와 retention 특성 역시 개선되었다. PLZT 박막에 ±5V 의 사각펄스를 $10^9$ 회 인가하여 피로특성을 측정한 결과, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막의 잔류분극은 초기분극값으로부터 50% 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 30% 감소되었다. 또, $10^5$ 초의 retention 결과에서 PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 초기분극값에서 오직 11% 만이 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 40% 감소되었다.

The effects of Zr/Ti concentration ratio in PLZT (10/y/z) thin films prepared by sol-gel method are investigated for the NVFRAM application. Rosette and pyrochlore phase are observed in PLZT (10/40/60) thin film and the (100) orientation, the grain size, and the surface roughness of PLZT thin films increase due to the increase of Ti amount in Zr/Ti concentration ratio. As Ti amount of Zr/Ti concentration ratio increases, the dielectric constants at 10KHz decrease from 600 to 400, while the loss tangents increase from 0.028 to 0.053 and the leakage current densities at 170 kY/cm decrease from 1.64$\times$10$^{-6}$ to 1.26$\times$10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. In the results of hysteresis loops measured at $\pm$ 170 ㎸/cm, the remanent polarization and the coercive field increase from 6.62 to 12.86 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and from 32.15 to 56.45 ㎸/cm, respectively, according to the change from 40/60 to 0/100 in Zr/Ti concentration ratio. Fatigue and retention properties also improve much as the Zr/Ti concentration ratio change from 40/60 to 0/100. After applying 10$^{9}$ square pulses with $\pm$5V, the remanent polarization of the PLZT (10/40/60) thin film decreases 50％ from the initial state while that of the PLZT (10/0/100) thin film decreases 30％. In the results of retention measurements of 10$^{5}$ s, the remanent polarization of the PLZT (10/0/100) thin film decreases only 11％ from the initial state, while that of the PLZT (10/40/60) thin film decreases 40%.

The Boziguoer A-type granitoids in Baicheng County, Xinjiang, belong to the northern margin of the Tarim platform as well as the neighboring EW-oriented alkaline intrusive rocks. The rocks comprise an aegirine or arfvedsonite quartz alkali feldspar syenite, an aegirine or arfvedsonite alkali feldspar granite, and a biotite alkali feldspar syenite. The major rock-forming minerals are albite, K-feldspar, quartz, arfvedsonite, aegirine, and siderophyllite. The accessory minerals are mainly zircon, pyrochlore, thorite, fluorite, monazite, bastnaesite, xenotime, and astrophyllite. The chemical composition of the alkaline granitoids show that $SiO_2$ varies from 64.55% to 72.29% with a mean value of 67.32%, $Na_2O+K_2O$ is high (9.85~11.87%) with a mean of 11.14%, $K_2O$ is 2.39%~5.47% (mean = 4.73%), the $K_2O/Na_2O$ ratios are 0.31~0.96, $Al_2O_3$ ranges from 12.58% to 15.44%, and total $FeO^T$ is between 2.35% and 5.65%. CaO, MgO, MnO, and $TiO_2$ are low. The REE content is high and the total ${\sum}REE$ is $(263{\sim}1219){\times}10^{-6}$ (mean = $776{\times}10^{-6}$), showing LREE enrichment HREE depletion with strong negative Eu anomalies. In addition, the chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the alkaline granitoids belong to the "seagull" pattern of the right-type. The Zr content is $(113{\sim}1246){\times}10^{-6}$ (mean = $594{\times}10^{-6}$), Zr+Nb+Ce+Y is between $(478{\sim}2203){\times}10^{-6}$ with a mean of $1362{\times}10^{-6}$. Furthermore, the alkaline granitoids have high HFSE (Ga, Nb, Ta, Zr, and Hf) content and low LILE (Ba, K, and Sr) content. The Nb/Ta ratio varies from 7.23 to 32.59 (mean = 16.59) and the Zr/Hf ratio is 16.69~58.04 (mean = 36.80). The zircons are depleted in LREE and enriched in HREE. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the zircons are of the "seagull" pattern of the left-inclined type with strong negative Eu anomaly and without a Ce anomaly. The Boziguoer A-type granitoids share similar features with A1-type granites. The average temperature of the granitic magma was estimated at $832{\sim}839^{\circ}C$. The Boziguoer A-type granitoids show crust-mantle mixing and may have formed in an anorogenic intraplate tectonic setting under high-temperature, anhydrous, and low oxygen fugacity conditions.
