Single crystals of nanocomposite [GaO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12][Al(OH)6Mo6O18]2(OH)${\cdot}$30H2O, 2, were obtained by the reaction between [GaO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12]7+ and [Mo7O24]6- clusters in an aqueous solution, analogously to the [AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12][Al(OH)6Mo6O18]2(OH)${\cdot}$29.5H2O nanocomposite, 1. The crystal structure of 2 was determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction; space group $C2}c$ (No. 15), a = 27.418(2) $\AA$, b = 15.647(2) $\AA$, c = 23.960(4) $\AA$, $\beta$ = $102.850(9)^{\circ}$, V = 10,021.5(20) $\AA3$ , Z = 4. Detailed analysis of the structural data show that the clusters are held by intimate hydrogen bondings of the surface O2- and OH- groups of the clusters as well as the ionic interactions between the oppositely charged cluster ions.

A new bis(dicyclohexylammonium) chromate dihydrate complex, $[(C_6H_{11})_2NH_2]_2[CrO_4]{\cdot}2H_2O$, (I), has been synthesized and its structure analyzed by FT-IR, EDS, elemental analysis, ICP-AES, and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The Cr(VI) complex (I) is tetragonal system, I${\bar{4}}$2d space group with a = 12.5196(1), b = 12.5196(1), c = $17.3796(3){\AA}$, a = ${\beta}$ = ${\gamma}$ = $90^{\circ}$, V = $2724.09(6){\AA}^3$, Z = 4. The crystal structure of complex (I) consists of tetrahedral chromate $[CrO_4]^{2-}$ anion, two organic dicyclohexylammonium $[(C_6H_{11})_2NH_2]^+$ cations and two lattice water molecules. The chromate anion and protonated dicyclohexylammonium cation is mainly constructed through the ionic bond. The cyclohexylammonium rings of the dicyclohexylammonium cation take the chair form and vertical configuration with each other. The N-H${\cdot}$O and O-H${\cdot}$O hydrogen bond networks between the $N_{dicyclohexylammonium}$, $O_{water}$ and $O_{chromate}$ atom lead to self-assembled molecular conformation and stabilize the crystal structure.

In this study, we investigated the structural properties of $Ga_2O_3$ thin films and the photo-electrical properties of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors deposited by Ti/Au electrodes. $Ga_2O_3$ thin films were grown at different temperatures using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The crystal phase of $Ga_2O_3$ changed from ${\varepsilon}$-phase to ${\beta}$-phase depending on the growth temperature. The crystal structure of ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$ was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the formation mechanism of crystal structure was discussed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. From the results of current-voltage (I-V) and time-dependent photoresponse characteristics under the illumination of external lights, we confirmed that the MSM photodetector fabricated by ${\varepsilon}-Ga_2O_3$ showed much better photocurrent characteristics in the 266 nm UV range than in the visible range.

Parent glasses for the experiments were prepared to be ratio of Li2O : Al2O3 : SiO2=4.5 : 25 : 70.5 as basic components, and TiO2 and ZrO2 in the mixing ratio of 1 : 1 were added as the nucleating agents, whose contents were increased in each sample. DTA, XRD, SEM, IR were observed, and thermal expansion and transmissivities were measured for the crystallized samples under the controlled heat-treatments. The transformation temperatures and the dilatometric softening temperatures in thermal expansion curves, and also the exothermic peaks in differential thermo-analytical curves were shifted to lower temperature. The crystal phase deposited through the heat-treatment was identified as ${\beta}$-quartz solid solution with XRD and IR analysis. The crystalline phases in oopactified samples were ${\beta}$-spodumene coexiting with ${\beta}$-quartz solid solution. The samples having more than 3% nucleating agents were transparent. The crystallized grain sizes were ranged 0.05 to 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The crystallized transparent samples were exceeded 85% in the transmissivity.

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) / polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric composite films for nanogenerator devices were fabricated by spray coating method. When the CNT/PVDF mixture solution passes through the spray nozzle with small diameter by the compressed nitrogen gas, electric charges are generated in the liquid by a triboelectric effect. Then randomly distributed ${\beta}$ phase PVDF film could be re-oriented by the electric field resulting from the accumulated electrical charges, and might be resulted in extremely one-directionally aligned ${\beta}$ phase PVDF film without additional electric field for poling. X-ray diffraction patterns were used to investigate crystal structure of the CNT/PVDF composite films. It was confirmed that they revealed extremely large portion of the ${\beta}$ phase PVDF crystalline in the film. Therefore we could obtain the poled CNT/PVDF piezoelectric composite films by the spray coating method without additional poling process.

$\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanobelts and nanoparticles were synthesized from mechanically ground GaN powders with thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere and an oxygen atmosphere, respectively. The study of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) on the microstructures of nanomaterials revealed that the nanobelts synthesized in the nitrogen atmosphere are with the range of 20~1000nm width and 10 ~100nm thickness, and that nanomaterials are nanoparticles with 20~50nm radius obtained by thermal annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. The crystal structure of the $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanobelts and nanoparticles was in this study investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The formation processes of the nanobelts and nanoparticles will be discussed in this paper.

ZSM-5 crystals grew on the surface of ${\alpha}$-SiC and ${\beta}$-SiC particles by hydrothermal synthesis method. SiC particles which were > $50{\mu}m$ of size were used, and oxide layer were developed on the surface of the particles to induce growth of ZSM-5 from the surface. Then, synthesis time and temperature condition were considered growing ZSM-5. In this study, oxide layer was formed on ${\beta}$-SiC at $900^{\circ}C$ in air, and it was controlled to grow ZSM-5 grew from the ${\beta}$-SiC surface with $150^{\circ}C$ synthesis condition. This is due to Si-O-Si or Si-O-Al bond, which is basic framework of ZSM-5 can be easily formed, from the silicon oxide film on the surface of ${\beta}$-SiC. When the synthesis temperature was $200^{\circ}C$, the size of ZSM-5 was increased, and it covered much area of the SiC surface with better crystal shapes with longer synthesis time.

The PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) fibers were prepared using the wet spinning processing. To improve ${\beta}$-phase crystalline which closely related piezoelectric property PVDF wet spun fibers conducted post treatment. Post treatment is consisted of heat stretching and annealing process. The heat stretching and annealing conditions were controlled by changing temperature between glass transition temperature and melting temperature. From these experimental data, the resulting crystal structure of the ${\beta}$-phase crystalline was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD experiments. From these analysis results, optimum stretching and annealing conditions of the wet spun PVDF fibers were founded to increase high ${\beta}$-phase crystalline. Furthermore results showed that thermal processing had a direct effect on modifying the crystalline microstructure and also confirmed that heat stretching and annealing could increase the degree of crystallinity and ${\beta}$-phase crystalline. Finally, piezoelectric constant ($d_{11}$) of the post heat treated PVDF fibers reinforced composite were measured to investigate the feasibility for the sensing materials.

High-density SiC-AIN solid solutions were fabricated from powder mixtures of $\beta$-SiC and AIN by hot-pressing in the 1870 to $2030^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The reaction of AIN and $\beta$-SiC (3C) powder transformed to the 2 H (wurzite) structure appeared to depend on the temperature and SiC/A1N ratio and seeds present. The crystalline phases consisted of a SiC-rich solid-solution phase and an A1N-rich solid-solution phase. At $2030^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, for a composition of 50 % AIN/50 % SiC with a seeding of $\alpha$-SiC, the complete solid solution could be obtained and the microstructures are equiaxed with a relatively homogeneous grain size of 2 H phases. The variation of the seeding of $\alpha$-SiC in SIC-A1N solid solutions could be attributed to the transformation behaviour and differences in size and shape of the grains, as well as to other factors, such as grain size distributions, compositional inhomogeneity, and structural defects.

In general the chemical composition of glass ceramics in Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 system is similar to the composition of $\beta$-spodumene (Li2O-Al2O3-4SiO2). With the object to manufacture the glass ceramics which can be produced in the domestic pot the composition of glass was so settled at 1.0 Li2O.0.9Al2O3.6.0SiO2 in order to reduce the contents of Li2O, to prevent the corrosion of the pot and to decrease the cost of raw materials. 0.2 mole and 0.1 mole of the mixture of TiO2 and ZrO2 as nucleants were added to the basic composition of 1.0 Li2O-0.9Al2O3-6.0SiO2. Each sample was divided into two kinds with a TiO2/ZrO2 ratio of 2 to 1 and the other with a TiO2/ZrO2 ratio fo 1 to 1. Thermal expansion coefficient, the most important property of glass ceramics, was tested. The softening point and the melting point of the samples were observed by the use of a heating microscope. The results obtained were as follows. The manufacturing of glass ceramics seems to be possible in the industrial plant using the domestic pot. 1) The composition of the glass which can be melted in the domestic pot process was near 1.0 Li2O.0.9Al2O3.6.0SiO2. 2) The temperature range of crystal creation and crystal growth was between 850-94$0^{\circ}C$, and 5 hours holding the samples at the temperature range was enough to crystallize them. The major crystal was $\beta$-spdumene and there existed petalite partialy. 3) The thermal expansion coefficient fo the crystallized glass was negative. 4) The deforming point of the crystallized glass was 1435$^{\circ}C$.
