In order to investigate the ball-milling effect on the property changes of UO$_2$ ex-AUC powder, the sinterability of ball -milled powder was studied in terms of the ball -milling time. Spherical shape was found to be kept for ball-milled UO$_2$ powder and the particle size showed a bimodal distribution, which seems to have a higher packing ratio compared with those having monomodal gaussian distribution. The increase of sintered density of the ball -milled UO$_2$ powder is assumed to be mainly affected by the packing ratio, which increase with longer ball -milling time. It is confirmed that the sinterability of UO$_2$ ex-AUC powder is improved by the ball-milling process.

A new Cu-Hf-Al-Be monolithic bulk amorphous alloy was developed utilizing minimal use of toxic and expensive Be. The developed alloy exhibits a large glass forming ability (GFA) (${\Phi}8$ mm). The possible mechanisms underlying the enhancement of the glass forming ability by this alloy are discussed based on the dimensionless parameter ${\gamma}$. In addition, alloy design strategy for the improvement of GFA is proposed in the viewpoint of heat of mixing (${\Delta}H_{mix}$)difference and atomic packing state.

We investigated the changes of (U, Ce)$O_2$ powder characteristics with $CeO_2$ contents and ball-milling time and then studied on the sintering properties with those (U, Ce)$O_2$ powder characteristics. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the longer ball-milling time of (U, Ce)$O_2$ powder was, the finer its particle size was. Green and sintered densities were decreased with $CeO_2$ contensts increase. And also $CeO_2$ was recongized deteriorating oxide on the $UO_2$ sintering. In case of the lOwt. % $CeO_2$ contents, (U, Ce)$O_2$ sintered pellet which was made of ball-milled powder for 4 hours had few pores and its pores got near to the sphere. And its sintered density had the highest. Because its powder had higher surface area and its packing ratio was appropriated much better than others.

The early stage of the self assembly for octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)-based monolayers is investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Height measurements using AFM prove that the island height of the monolayers gradually increases with increasing the island size, and is close to the limiting value (h = $\sim$25 $\AA$) after d = $\sim$600 nm in size. Since the theoretical length of a covalently bound OTS molecule is 26.2 Å, the limiting value of the island height means that the islands with d ${\geq}$ 600 nm consist of close-packed, fully extended chains. The heights for the islands with d < 600 nm are lower than the limiting value and decrease with decreasing the island sizes. This observation indicates that the OTS molecules in the small islands are less densely packed, and that the packing densities of the islands increase as the islands grow in size.
