A non-rare earth-based strontium-aluminate red light emitting phosphor was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method and the effect of synthesis temperature and Mn⁴⁺ activator concentration on the photoluminescence characteristics of the phosphor was studied. The synthesized SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor showed broad band absorption characteristics in the near-ultraviolet and blue regions with peaks at wavelengths of near 330 and 460 nm, and a triple band deep red emission consisted of three peaks at near 644, 658, and 673 nm. The SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor synthesized at a temperature 1600℃ and a Mn⁴⁺ activator concentration of 0.5 mol% showed the strongest PL emission intensity, and concentration quenching was observed at concentrations higher than 0.7 mol%. FE-SEM and DLS particle size distribution analysis showed that the synthesized SrAl₂O₄:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor had a particle size distribution of 2~6.4 ㎛ and an irregular spherical shape with an average particle size of ~4 ㎛.

Piezoelectric properties of $Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbZrO_3-PbTiO_3$ ceramics were investigated with $Al_2O_3$ content $(0.0-1.0 wt\%)$. The constituent phases, microstructure, electromechanical coupling factor, dielectric constant, piezoelectric charge and voltage constants were analyzed. Diffraction peaks for (002) and (200) planes were identified by X-ray diffractometer for all the specimens doped with $Al_2O_3$, indicating the MPB (morphotropic phase boundary) composition of tetragonal structures. The highest sintered density of $7.8 g/cm^3$ was obtained for $0.2wt\%\;Al_2O_3-doped$ specimen. Grain size increased by doping $Al_2O_3$ up to $0.3 wt\%$, and it decreased by more doping. Electromechanical coupling factor, dielectric constant, piezoelectric charge and voltage constants increased by doping $Al_2O_3$ up to $0.2wt\%$, and it decreased by more doping. This might result from the formation of oxygen vacancies due to defects in $O^{2-}$ ion sites and the substitution of $Al^{3+}$ ions.

The effects of microstructures and some additives $(CoO and Al_2O_3$) on the magnetic properties such as initial permeability, $\mu$-T curve, coercive force, and magnetic induction of MnZn ferrites have been studied. The powder was prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying Method. The basic composition of MnZn ferrites was 25.5mole % MnO, 22.0 mole% ZnO, 52.5 mole% $Fe_2O_3$. CoO in a concentration range from 0.05 to 0.5 mole% and $Al_2O_3$ from 2.5 to 7.5 mole% were added. Sintered density increased up to 97.5% of theoretical density. Permeability increased as average grain size increased, and that coercive force decreased as average grian size increased. Magnetic induction increased as sintered density increased. The variation of initial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0$^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}C$ was lowered (a flatter $\mu-T$ curve) as sintering temperature decreased. The compensation temperature To ofmagnetocrystalline anisotropy constant K1 and initial permeability varied with the species and amount of additives. When 0.05 mole% CoO was added to the basic composition, initial permeability at $15^{\circ}C$ increased from 5200 to 5900. The variation ofinitial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0^{\circ}to $60^{\circ}C$ was smaller (a flatter $\mu$-T curve) than that of the basic composition of Mn Zn ferrites. When 2.5 mole% $Al_2O_3$ was added, initial permeability at $15^{\circ}C$ decreased from 5200 to 3000. But the variation of initial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0$^{\circ}$to $60^{\circ}C$ was smaller (a flat ter $\mu-T$ curve) than when 0.05 mole% CoO was added. Experimental results showed that the conditions necessary for the occurrence of a very high permeability and a flat $\mu$-T curve were controversial even in a temperature range from $0^{\circ}$to $60^{\circ}C$.

In Al-25Nb binary system, it was observed only formation of $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ intermetallic compound after 5hr milling but it was not observed formation of meta stable phase like L1$_2$ phase. In this state, $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ fabricated had nano sized grain of approximately 20nm. Ternary systems, transition metals such as Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn were added 6~12at.% as substitution of Al, showed formation of $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ like Al-25Nb binary system. In Al- l2Cu-25Nb system, it was observed that broad XRD pattern like amorphization of Al and not observed formation of $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ after 5hr milling. But there was mixed phase of a lot of amorphous Al and little $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ through TEM. In the states of unalloyed, 5~7hr milling time, those showed exothermic reaction at 35$0^{\circ}C$, which was formation of $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ like Al-25Nb binary system. With increasing milling time to 10hr, $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Nb$ was transformed to mixed phase of amorphous and nanocryatlline, having approximately 10nm grain but the meta stable $Al_3Nb$ was not fabricated by adding transition metals.

The manganese-, nickel-, and aluminum-doped cobalt ferrite powders, $Mn_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$, $Ni_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$, and $Al_{0.2}CoFe_{1.8}O_4$, are fabricated by the sol-gel method, and the crystallographic and magnetic properties of the powders are studied in comparison with those of $CoFe_2O_4$. All the ferrite powders are nano-sized and have a single spinel structure with the lattice constant increasing in $Mn_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$ but decreasing in $Ni_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$ and $Al_{0.2}CoFe_{1.8}O_4$. All the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra are fitted as a superposition of two Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the $Fe^{3+}$ ions. The values of the magnetic hyperfine fields of $Ni_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$ are somewhat increased in the A and B sites, while those of $Mn_{0.2}Co_{0.8}Fe_2O_4$ and $Al_{0.2}CoFe_{1.8}O_4$ are decreased. The variation of $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ parameters is explained using the cation distribution equation, superexchange interaction and particle size. The hysteresis curves of the ferrite powders reveal a typical soft ferrite pattern. The variation in the values of saturation magnetization and coercivity are explained in terms of the site distributions, particle sizes and the spin magnetic moments of the doped ions.

This paper deals with the recent development of high-voltage cathode materials of mono- and di- metal ions substituted spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ for lithium batteries. $LiCu_xMn_{2-x}O_4(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.5)$ shows reversible intercalation/deintercalation in two potential regions, $3.9\~43\;and\;4.8-5.0V$ and stable electrochemical cycling behavior but with low capacity. $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ obtained by a sol-gel process delivers a capacity of 127mAh $g^{-1}$ on the first cycle and sustains a value of 124 mAh $g^{-1}$ even after the 60th cycle. The $Li_xCr_yMn_{2-y}O_4(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.5)$ solid-solutions exhibit enhanced specific capacity, larger average voltage, and improved cycling behaviors for low Cr content. $LiCr_yMn_{2-y}O_4$ presents a reversible Li deintercalation process at 4.9V, whose capacity is proportional to the Cr content in the range of $0.25{\leq}x{\leq}0.5$ and delivers higher capacities. $LiM_yCr_{0.5-y}Mn_{1.5}O_4(M=Fe\;or\;Al)$ shows that the capacity retention is lowered compared with lithium manganate. The cumulative capacities obtainable with Al-substitutted materials are less than those with Fe-substituted materials. $LiCr_xNi_{0.5-x}Mn_{1.5}O_4(x=0.1)$ delivers a high initial capacity of 1$152mAh\;g^{-1}$ with excellent cycleability.

급냉응고법을 이용하여 고용한도 이상으로 Mn량을 첨가할 때 Mn량에 따른 인장특성의 변화와 시효특성을 조사하였다. 원심분무법으로 AI-4.7%Zn-2.5%Mg-0.2%Zr합금에 Mn량을 각기 달리 첨가한 급냉응고 분말을 제조 하였다. 이 분말을 냉간압축, 진공 탈가스처리를 한 후 15:1로 압출하여 봉상 시편을 만들었다. 분말의 미세조직은 $\alpha$-AI수지상과 수지상간 편석부로 이루어져 있으며 Mn첨가에 따라 조직의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 빠른 냉각속도로 인하여 2.0%Mn을 첨가한 경우에도 초정 Mn상을 발견할 수 없었다. 압출재의 미세조직은 아결정립으로 이루어져 있으며 약간의 제2상들이 관찰되었다. 대부분의 Mn 분산상은 압출후 용체화처리 과정에서 형성되었으며 시효경화량은 Mn양에 관계없이 일정하였다. 46$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 용체화처리하고 12$0^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 시효처리한 경우 최대의 시효경도값을 나타내었다. 인장강도는 Mn첨가량에 따라 증가 하였는데 이것은 Mn분산상의 밀도증가에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 2.0%Mn을 첨가한 합금의 시효후 인장강도는 590MPa, 연산율은 4%를 보였다.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $MnAl_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $MnAl_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $MnAl_2S_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=3.7920eV-5.2729{\times}10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+786 K)$. In order to explore the applicability as a photoconductive cell, we measured the sensitivity (${\gamma}$), the ratio of photocurrent to dark current (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD) and response time. The results indicated that the photoconductive characteristic were the best for the samples annealed in S vapour compare with in Mn, Al, air and vacuum vapour. Then we obtained the sensitivity of 0.93, the value of pc/dc of $1.10{\times}10^7$, the MAPD of 316 mW, and the rise and decay time of 14.8 ms and 12.1 ms, respectively.
