The microstructure and tensile properties of Mg-Zn-Ca and Mg-Zn-Mn-Ca alloys have been investigated. The alloys were obtained by melting in a low carbon crucible coated with boron nitride under an Ar gas atmosphere to prevent oxidation and combustion. The Mg alloy melt was cast into the metallic mold at room temperature, and cooling part was located at the bottom of mold. The phase formed during solidification of the Mg-Zn-(Mn) alloys containing 0.5%Ca is $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the alloys increased with increasing Zn content, but the ductility did not change with increasing Zn content. The addition of Mn improves the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the alloys, but the ductility did not change. Tensile fracture of the alloys revealed brittle failure, with cracking along the $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phase. The variation of stress with strain obeyed the relationship of the ${\sigma}=K{\varepsilon}^n$.

Covalent functionalization of a $B_{12}N_{12}$ nano-cage with $CO_2$ molecule has been investigated using density functional theory in terms of energetic, geometric, and electronic property analyses. Results show that besides two physisorption configurations, $CO_2$ preferably tends to perform [2+2] addition on B-N bonds of the cluster which are shared between six-membered and four-membered rings, releasing energy of 14.99 kcal/mol for adsorption of the first $CO_2$ and of 15.45 kcal/mol for the second one (per each molecule). On the basis of calculated density of states, we have found that the electronic properties of the physisorbed $B_{12}N_{12}$ by $CO_2$ have not changed, while slight changes have been predicted in the functionalized cases. Present results might be helpful to provide an effective way to modify the $B_{12}N_{12}$ properties for further purifications and applications.

Along with the development of power electronics and magnetic materials, permanent magnet (PM) brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are now widely used in many fields of modern industry BLDC motors have many advantages such as high efficiency, large peak torque, easy control of speed, and reliable working characteristics. However, Compared with the other electric motors without a PM, BLDC motors with a PM have inherent cogging torque. It is often a principle source of vibration, noise and difficulty of control in BLDC motors. Cogging torque which is produced by the interaction of the rotor magnetic flux and angular variation in the stator magnetic reluctance can be reduced by sinusoidal air-gap flux density waveform due to reduction of variation of magnetic reluctance. Therefore, this paper will present a design method of magnetizing system for reduction of cogging torque and low manufacturing cost of BLDC motor with isotropic bonded neodynium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets in ring type by sinusoidal air-gap flux density distribution. An analytical technique of magnetization makes use of two-dimensional finite element method (2-D FEM) and Preisach model that expresses the hysteresis phenomenon of magnetic materials in order for accurate calculation. In addition, For optimum design of magnetizing fixture, Factorial design which is one of the design of experiments (DOE) is used.

The effects of $B_4C$ on the mechanical properties of WC/Ni-Si hardmetal were analyzed using sintered bodies comprising WC(70-x wt.%), Ni (28.5 wt.%), Si (1.5 wt.%), and $B_4C$ (x wt.%), where $$0{\leq_-}x{\leq_-}1.2$$ wt.%. Samples were prepared by a combination of mechanical milling and liquid-phase sintering. Phase and microstructure characterizations were conducted using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe X-ray micro analysis. The mechanical properties of the sintered bodies were evaluated by measuring their hardness and transverse rupture strength. The addition of $B_4C$ improved the sinterability of the hardmetals. With increasing $B_4C$ content, their hardness increased, but their transverse rupture strength decreased. The changes of sinterability and mechanical properties were attributed to the alloying reaction between $B_4C$ and the binder metal (Ni, Si).

Compared with the conventional magnetostriction in Ni alloys which are in the order of several tens ppm (Parts Per Million =10-6), RFe$_2$(R = rare earth element) Laves Phase intermetallic compounds show large saturation magnetostriction in the range of a few thousands ppm. However, the large external magnetic field necessary to obtain saturatio magnetostriction has due to large magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy restrained the applicationof magnetostriction materials in RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds. As a result of its solution, the largest published value of effective giant magnetostriction in a low external magnetic field (less than a few hundred Oe) is reported in this paper by means of amorphisation of RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds with the addition of boron, as a half metal. For the amorphous (SmFe$_2$)0.97 B0.03 alloys, the effective magnetostriction of -545 and -610 $\times$ 10-6 is obtained at 400 and 1,000 Ie, respectively. Moreover, the effective magnetostriction of 590 and 630$\times$10-6 in the amorphous (TbFe$_2$)0.98 B0.02 alloys is also found at 400 and 1,000 Oe, respectively. This result will provide a clue to understanding the effect of half metal on anomalous increase of the effective giant magnetostriction and attract the great attention for magnetostriction applications.

The epi-CoSi$_{2}$ layer was formed by alloying a Co(120$\AA$)/Ti(50$\AA$) bilayer. In addition, the ultra shallow p$^{+}$n junction of which depth is about not more than 40nm at the background concentration, 10$^{18}$atoms/cm$^{3}$ could be formed by annealing (RTA-II) the ion implanted epi-silicide. When the temperature of RTA-I is as low as possible and that of RTA-II is moderate, the p$^{+}$n junction that has low leakage current and stable epi-silicide layer could be obtained. That is, when th econdition of TRA-I was 900$^{\circ}C$/20sec and that of RTA-II was 900$^{\circ}C$/10sec, the reverse leakage current was as high as 11.3$\mu$A/cm$^{2}$ at -5V. The surface of CoSi$_{2}$ appeared considerably rough. However, when the conditon of RTA-I was 800$^{\circ}C$/20sec or 700$^{\circ}C$/20sec, the leakage currents were as low as 8.3nA/cm$^{2}$ and 9.3nA/cm$^{2}$, respectively and also the surfaces appeared very uniform.

The achievement of high gas permeability is a key factor in the development of porous SiC ceramics for applications of hot gas filter, vacuum chuck, and air spindle. However, few reports on the gas permeability of porous SiC ceramics can be found in the literature. In this paper, porous SiC ceramics were fabricated at temperatures ranging from $1600^{\circ}C$ to $1800^{\circ}C$ using the mixing powders of SiC, silicon, carbon and boron as starting materials. In some samples, expanded hollow microspheres as a pore former were used to make a cellular pore structure. It was possible to produce Si bonded SiC ceramics with porosities ranging from 42% to 55%. The maximum bending strength was 58MPa for the carbon content of 0.2 wt% and sintering temperature of $1700^{\circ}C$. The increase of air permeability was accelerated by addition of hollow microsphere as a pore former.

$^{11}$B NMR measurements have been performed to investigate local electronic structure and 4f spin dynamics for TbNi$_2$B$_2$C single crystal. $^{11}$B NMR spectra show three resonance peaks due to the quadrupolar interaction. Shift and linewidth are huge and strongly temperature-dependent. In addition, both are proportional to magnetic susceptibility, indicating that the hyperfine field at the boron site originates from the 4f spins of Tb. $^{11}$B NMR shift and relaxation rates show high anisotropy for field parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis. Anisotropy of the shift and the relaxation rates suggests that the hyperfine field perpendicular to the c-axis is larger.

An high frequency induction hardening technology of vehicle body press-formed of thin sheet steel has been developed to increase the strength of vehicle body parts locally by high frequency induction heating, thereby eliminating the need for reinforcements. And this technique for increasing the tensile strength of sheet steel was practically applied to the front floor cross member and center pillar reinforcement of a passenger car. The side impact behavior has been investigated when induction hardening technology is applied to the conventional low-carbon steel and weight reduction of an automotive body is expected. In this paper, basic experiments were performed for the hat-shaped specimen under high frequency induction heating process. Martensitic transformation was found in the heating zone through microscopic observation which showed higher hardness. In addition, the hardness and strength of the center-pillar specimen made of boron steel increased remarkably by high frequency induction heating.

Boron Nitride (BN) doped GeSbTe films were grown by the ion beam sputtering deposition (IBSD). The in-situ sheet resistance data and the x-ray diffraction patterns showed the crystallization is suppressed due to the BN incorporation. The phase change speed in BN doped GeSbTe films were investigated using the static tester equipped with nanosecond pulsed laser. The phase change speed for BN doped GST films become faster than the corresponding values for an undoped GST film. The Johnson-Mehl-Avrami(JMA) plot and Avrami coefficient for laser crystallization showed that the change in growth mode during the laser crystallization is a most important factor for the phase change speed in the BN doped GST films. The JMA results and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images indicate that the origin of the change in the crystalline growth mode is due to an increase in the number of initial nucleation sites which is produced by the incorporated BN. In addition, the retension properties for the laser writing/erasing are remarkably improved in BN doped GeSbTe films owing to the stability of the incorporated BN.
