Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composites were electrodeposited on mild steel substrate for mechanical and corrosion resistance applications. This study focused on the preparation of Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coating with various quantity of Al₂O₃ incorporations. The addition of Al₂O₃ in the electrolytes were varied from 1-10 g/L in electrolytes and the Al₂O₃ incorporation in Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coatings were obtained from 1.82 to 13.86 wt.%. The incorporation of Al₂O₃ in Ni-W alloy matrix influenced the grain size, surface morphology and structural properties were observed. The distributions of Al₂O₃ particle in alloy matrix were confirmed using electron microscopy (FESEM and TEM) and EDAX mapping analysis. The crystal structure informations were studied using X-ray diffraction method and it confirms that the deposits having cubic crystal structure. The better corrosion rate (0.87 mpy) and microhardness (965 HV) properties were obtained for the Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coating with 13.86 wt.% of Al₂O₃ incorporations.

Ultrafine TEX>$Al_2O_3$ powders were prepared from $AlCl_3$ and $Al_2(SO_4)_3$3 by using inductively coupled plasma (lCP) of ultrahigh temperature (above 5000 K) in heat source. The prepared $Al_2O_3$ powders had ${\alpha} - group ({\alpha}, {wdelta} ;and; {\theta})$ phase, a narrow size distribution and around 20 nm in meansize. It could be suggested that gas - solid reaction growth and interparticle sintering occured at the center of ICP tail flame (X = 500 mm) through the results of deposited aggregates - flock, whisker and platy on MgO polycrystal plate. And the formation mechanism of $Al_2O_3$ powders In spray - ICP reactor were described from upper results.

The structures of fully dehydrated Ca2+- and Rb+-exchanged zeolite X, Ca31Rb30Si100Al92O384(Ca31Rb30-X; a=25.009(1) Å) and Ca28Rb36Si100Al92O384(Ca28Rb36-X; a=24.977(1) Å), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in the cubic space group Fd&bar{3} at 21(1) ℃. Their structures were refined to the final error indices R1=0.048 and R2=0.041 with 236 reflections for Ca31Rb30-X, and R1=0.052 and R2=0.043 with 313 reflections for Ca28Rb36-X; I>3σ(I). In both structures, Ca2+ and Rb+ ions are located at six different crystallographic sites. In dehydrated Ca31Rb30-X, sixteen Ca2+ ions fill site I, at the centers of the double 6-rings (Ca-O=2.43(1) Å and O-Ca-O=93.3(3)°). Another fifteen Ca2+ ions occupy site II (Ca-O=2.29(1) Å, O-Ca-O=119.5(5)°) and fifteen Rb+ ions occupy site II opposite single six-rings in the supercage; each is 1.60 Å from the plane of three oxygens (Rb-O=2.77(1) Å and O-Rb-O=91.1(4)°). About two Rb+ ions are found at site II', 1.99 Å into sodalite cavity from their three-oxygen plane (Rb-O=2.99(1) Å and O-Rb-O=82.8(4)°). The remaining thirteen Rb+ ions are statistically distributed over site III, a 48-fold equipoint in the supercages on twofold axes (Rb-O=3.05(1) Å and Rb-O=3.38(1) Å). In dehydrated Ca28Rb36-X, sixteen Ca2+ ions fill site I (Ca-O=2.41(1) Å and O-Ca-O=93.6(3)°) and twelve Ca2+ ions occupy site II (Ca-O=2.31(1) Å, O-Ca-O=119.7(4)°). Sixteen Rb+ ions occupy site II; each is 1.60 Å from the plane of three oxygens (Rb-O=2.81(1) Å and O-Rb-O=90.6(3)°) and four Rb+ ions occupy site II'; each is 1.88 Å into sodalite cavity from their three-oxygen plane (Rb-O=2.99(1) Å and O-Rb-O=83.8(2)°). The remaining sixteen Rb+ ions are found at III site in the supercage (Rb-O=2.97(1) Å and Rb-O=3.39(1) Å). It appears that Ca2+ ions prefer sites I and II in that order, and that Rb+ ions occupy the remaining sites. Rb+ ions are too large to be stable at site I, when they are competing with other smaller cations like Ca2+ ions.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) has excellent electrical insulation property, high thermal conductivity, and a low thermal expansion coefficient; therefore, it is widely used as a heat sink, heat-conductive filler, and heat dissipation substrate. However, it is well known that the AlN-based materials have disadvantages such as low sinterability and poor mechanical properties. In this study, the effects of addition of various amounts (1-6 wt.%) of sintering additives $Y_2O_3$ and $Sm_2O_3$ on the thermal and mechanical properties of AlN samples pressureless sintered at $1850^{\circ}C$ in an $N_2$ atmosphere for a holding time of 2 h are examined. All AlN samples exhibit relative densities of more than 97%. It showed that the higher thermal conductivity as the $Y_2O_3$ content increased than the $Sm_2O_3$ additive, whereas all AlN samples exhibited higher mechanical properties as $Sm_2O_3$ content increased. The formation of secondary phases by reaction of $Y_2O_3$, $Sm_2O_3$ with oxygen from AlN lattice influenced the thermal and mechanical properties of AlN samples due to the reaction of the oxygen contents in AlN lattice.

27Al NMR chemical shielding, quadrupolar coupling, and dipolar coupling interactions for corundum (α-Al2O3) are determined from the single-crystal 27 Al NMR spectra according to the rotation about three orthogonal axis. 27 Al NMR parameters obtained in this work with high accuracy are as follows: δiso = 7.4(4) ppm, QCC = 2.30(4) MHz, h = 0.08(3), and R = 2.0(3) kHz. This work appears to be the first NMR measurement of an aluminum-aluminum dipolar coupling interaction in α-Al2O3 crystals.

This study evaluated the burnability and hydration reaction of clinker burned with high Al₂O₃ content OPC to apply large amounts of industrial by-products in the cement manufacturing process. Specifically, after preparing a clinker with a high C₃A content by burning the OPC raw material with a high content of Al₂O₃ in a laboratory electric furnace, the burnability of the clinker was evaluated through XRD Rietveld analysis and polarization microscopy, and clinker hydration reactivity was reviewed through the Isothermal conduction calorimetry analysis and the cement compressive strength. As a result, the kiln burning temperature for the production of high Al₂O₃ content clinker lower, and the compressive strength was equal to or higher than OPC. Therefore it was confirmed the possibility to manufacturing energy-saving high Al₂O₃ content clinker using a large amount of industrial by-products.

Crystallographic characteristics and interfacial structures of $Al_2$$O_3$and $ZrO_2$dielectric films prepared by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD) were investigated at atomic scale by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)/electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) coupled with a field-emission transmission electron microscope. The results obtained from cross-sectional and plan-view specimens showed that the $Al_2$$O_3$film was crystallized by annealing at a high temperature and its crystal system might be evaluated as either cubic or tetragonal phase. Whereas the $ZrO_2$film crystallized during deposition at a low temperature of ∼$300^{\circ}C$ was composed of both tetragonal and monoclinic phase. The interfacial thickness in both films was increased with the increased annealing temperature. Further, the interfacial structures of X$ZrO_2$$O_3$and $ZrO_2$films were discussed through analyses of EDS elemental maps and EELS spectra obtained from the annealed films, respectively.

AlN powder was synthesized by carbothermal reduction and nitridation using Al2(SO4)3.18H2O as the starting material. The synthesized AlN powder was fine but contained oxygen. Therefore carbonaceous material (carbon black or phenol novolac) was added teogether with the sintering aids (CaO, CaF2, CaCl2, Y2O3 and YF3). It was found that pressureless sintering at 1700~180$0^{\circ}C$ after deoxidation at 150$0^{\circ}C$ suppressed the formation of second phase (27R) and reduced the contents of lattice oxygen within AlN ceramics.

Single crystalline ZnO fims were successfully grown on r-plane sapphire substrate by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Epitaxial relationship between the ZnO film and the-r-plane sapphire was determined to be [-1101]$Al_2O_3\;{\parallel}$ [0001]ZnO, [11-20]$Al_2O_3\;{\parallel}$ [-1100]ZnO based on the in-situ RHEED analysis and confirmed again by HRXRD measurements. Grown (11-20) ZnO films showed faceted structure along the <0001> direction and the RMS roughness was about 4 nm.

We have proposed a characteristic method to estimate real composition when multi component oxide films are deposited by ALD. Final atomic concentration ratio was theoretically calculated from the film densities and growth rates for $HfO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ using ALD processed HfxAhOz mms.W e have transformed initial source feeding ratio during deposition to fins] atomic ratio in $Hf_xAl_yO_z$ films through thickness factors ($R_{HFO_2}$ ami $R_{Al_2O_3}$) ami concentration factor(C) defined in our experiments. Initial source feeding ratio could be transformed into the thickness ratio by each thickness factor. Final atomic ratio was calculated from thickness ratio by concentration factor. It has been successfully confirmed that the predicted atomic ratio was in good agreement with the actual measured value by ICP-MS analysis.
