$BaTiO_3$ dielectric ceramics are widely used to multi-layer ceramic capacitor. The $BaTiO_3$ powder was synthesized at $950^{\circ}C$ by using a solid state reaction and grinded by using a high-energy mill. And then, 2.53 wt% glass frit was added to the synthesized $BaTiO_3$ powders for lowering the sintering temperature. The mixed powders were sintered at various temperatures of $1170^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$, $1230^{\circ}C$. Microstructures of the sintered $BaTiO_3$ ceramics were inspected by SEM and crystal structures were analyzed by XRD method. The relative dielectric constant was measured by using a impedance/gain phase analyzer. The synthesized $BaTiO_3$ powder had the tetragonal perovskite structure without secondary phase and the particle size was below 200 nm. The relative densities measured at the samples sintered at the temperature above $1200^{\circ}C$ were about 95%. The relative dielectric constant showed maximum value of 2310, which was measured in the specimen sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. From these results, we could know that the added glass frit had effects on both lowering the sintering temperature and improving the dielectric property.

Microstructure and ferroelectric properties of sol-gel derived PZT(52/48) and PT interlayered PZT(52/48) thin films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates were investigated. Films were fabricated using Acetylacetone chelated PT and PZT(52/48) sols. PZT(52/48) thin films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 20 min showed the rosette structure with the size of 1.2~1.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the pyrochlore phse was contained. PT interlayered PZT thin films, which is inserted by PbTiO3 thin layer with the thickness of 130 $\AA$ between PZT thin film and electrode, consisted of a single perovskite phase after annealing above 55$0^{\circ}C$. They exhibited the uniform and columnar grains of 0.1~0.16${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, which are applicable for microelectronic device including non-volatile memory. Typical P-E hysteresis loops could be obtained from PT interlayered PZT thin film at as low as the annealing temperature of 50$0^{\circ}C$. Ferroelectric properties of PT interlayered PZT thin films were improved as increasing annealing temperature up to $700^{\circ}C$, and then deteriorated at 75$0^{\circ}C$. PZT(52/48) and PT interlayered PZT(52/48) thin film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 20 min displayed Ps=38.8$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Pr=10.0$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Ec=65.3 kV/cm and Ps=28.5$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Pr=9.8$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Ec=76.1 kV/cm, respectively.

저온 박막 공정을 위해 비등점이 낮은 용매인 isopropanol을 사용하였고, 용질로 zinc acetate의 몰 농도를 0.3∼1.3 mol/l까지 변화시켜 sol을 합성하였다. Zn 농도 변화에 따른 ZnO 박막의 구조 및 광학, 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. XRD 측정에서 Zn의 농도가 0.7 mol/l 일 때 c-축으로 결정 배향성이 뚜렷하였다. SEM으로 박막의 표면 morphology를 관찰한 결과 0.7 mol/l 에서 균일한 표면층을 갖는 나노구조를 이루고 있었다. UV-vis. 측정을 통한 ZnO 박막의 광투과도는 Zn의 농도가 0.7 mol/l 이하에서 87%였으나, 1.0 mol/l 이상의 농도에서는 급격히 감소하였다. 이때 광 밴드갭 에너지는 3.07∼3.22 eV의 값을 나타내며, 벌크 ZnO의 특성과 유사하였다. 박막의 전기 비저항 값은 150 $\Omega$-cm로 Zn의 농도변화에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, I-V 특성분석에서 전형적인 ohmic contact 특성을 보였다.

Ferroelectric properties of{{{{ { { { {SrBi }_{2 }Ta }_{2-x }Nb }_{x }O }_{9 } }} (SBIN) thin films were affected by the amount of Bi content in SBTN. The addition of Bi into the SBTN films could be accomplished by heat treating SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN het-erostructures fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. The variation of Bi content was controlled by changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN heterostructure from 50 to 400$\AA$. As changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in Bi2O3 films was increased from 0 to 100$\AA$ the grain grew faster and the ferroelectric pro-perties were improved. On the other hand when the thickness of Bi2O3 films was thicker than 150$\AA$ the fer-roelectric properties were deteriorated Especially for SBTN thin films inserted by 400$\AA$ Bi2O3 layer a Bi2Phase appeared as a second phase resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The maximum remanent po-larization (2Pr) and coercive field(Ec) were obtained for the SBTN/Bi2O3/(100$\AA$)/SBTN thin films. In this case 2Pr and Ec were 14.75 $\mu$C/cm2 and 53.4kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V respectively.

In order to investigate the behavior of $SiO_2$ in the molybdenum silicide powders, crystal structure of these powders was measured by XRD, in addition, surface composition and surface phase (or chemical states) and microstructure were analysed by XPS and TEM, respectively. Mo-silicide powders containing $SiO_2$ were synthesized by SHS (Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis) technique. In XRD result, according to increase of $SiO_2$ contents, the crystal structure for synthesized $MoSi_2$ powders was still typical $MoSi_2$ bct without any other phases. By XPS analysis, the surface of Mo and Si source powders was covered with $MoO_3$ and $SiO_2$, respectively, and the surface of synthesized $MoSi_2$ powder was also covered with $MoO_3$ and $SiO_2$, which were stable oxides at room temperature. However, according to increase of $SiO_2$ addition, $MoSi_2$ phase in XPS spectra decreased and $SiO_2$ phase increased relatively in synthesized $MoSi_2$ powders. From the results by XPS and XRD, we found that the existent $SiO_2$ has amorphous structure. In the microstructure, the small particulates of the synthesized products added $SiO_2$ agglomerated together to form larger clusters (from ~10 nm to ~1 ${\mu}m$). From TEM, XPS, and XRD results, we found that the out layer of agglomeration of synthesized $MoSi_2$ powder is surrounded by amorphous $SiO_2$.

Sol-gel 공정으로 제조된 YMnO$_3$박막의 결정상과 강유전특성에 미치는 기판종류와 버퍼층의 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. Si(1OO) 기판위에는 hexagonal YMnO$_3$이 형성되었으나 Pt(111)/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si 기판위에는 hexagonal과 orthorhombic YMnO$_3$이 함께 형성되었다. 기판위에 미리 $Y_2$O$_3$버퍼층을 형성시킨 경우에는 Si(100)와 Pt(111)/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si 두가지 기판 모두 단일 hexagonal YMnO$_3$이 성장하였으며, 특히 c-축 배향성이 향상되었다. 박막내에 hexagonal과 orthorhombic YMnO$_3$이 혼재된 시편보다는 hexagonal 단일상이 형성된 시편이, 또한 단일상 시편중에서도 c-축 우선배향성이 좋은 시편이 그렇지 않은 시편에 비해 누설전류밀도 특성이 우수하였다. YMnO$_3$박막의 잔류분극값은 Si(100)기판을 사용했을 경우, 버퍼층 없이 제조된 시편은 0.14, 버퍼층이 삽입된 시편은 0.24$\mu$C/$ extrm{cm}^2$의 값을 나타내었다 한편 Pt(111)/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si 기판의 경우, 버퍼층 없이 형성된 YMnO$_3$시편은 이력곡선을 보여주지 못하였고, 버퍼층이 삽입된 시편은 1.14$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 잔류분극값을 나타내었다. 이상의 연구를 통하여 기판의 종류와 $Y_2$O$_3$버퍼층 삽입으로 YMnO$_3$박막의 결정상과 배향성을 제어함으로서 박막시편의 누설전류밀도 특성 및 강유전특성을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We have developed new type of superconducting-superionic conducting nanohybrids, $Ag_xI_wBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ (n=1 and 2) by applying the chimie douce reaction to the superconducting Bi-based cuprates. These nanohybrids can be achieved by the stepwise intercalation whereby the $Ag^+$ ion is thermally diffused into the pre-intercalated iodine sublattice of $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis, the Ag-I intercalates are found to have an unique heterostructure in which the superionic conducting Ag-I layer and the superconducting $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ layer are regularly interstratified with a remarkable basal increment of ~7.3$\AA$. The systematic XAS studies demonstrate that the intercalation of Ag-I accompanies the charge transfer between host and guest, giving rise to a change in hole concentration of $CuO_2$ layer and to a slight $T_c$ change. The Ag K-edge EXAFS result reveals that the intercalated Ag-I has a $\beta$-AgI-like local structure with distorted tetrahedral symmetry, suggesting a mobile environment for the intercalated $Ag^+$ ion. In fact, from ac impedance analyses, we have found that the Ag-I intercalates possess a fast ionic conductivity ($\sigma_i=10^{-1.4}\sim 10^{-2.6}\Omega^{-1}\textrm{cm}^{-1}\;at\;270^{\circ}C$ with an uniform activation energy ($\DeltaE_a=0.22\pm 0.02$ eV). More interesting finding is that these intercalates exhibit high electronic conducting as well as ionic ones ($t_i$=0.02~0.60) due to their interstratified structure consisting of superionic conducting and superconducting layers. In this respect, these new intercalates are expected to be useful as an electrode material in various electrochemical devices.

The pristine fluorine-doped $SnO_2$ (abbreviated as FTO) inverse opal (IO) was developed using a 410 nm polystyrene bead template. The nanolayered copper tungsten oxide ($CuWO_4$) was decorated on the FTO IO film using a facile electrochemical deposition, subsequently followed by annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for 90 min. The morphologies, crystalline structure, optical properties and photoelectrochemical characteristics of the FTO and $CuWO_4$-decorated FTO (briefly denoted as $FTO/CuWO_4$) IO film were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, showing FTO IO in the hexagonally closed-pack arrangement with a pore diameter and wall thickness of about 300 nm and 20 nm, respectively. Above this film, the $CuWO_4$ was electrodeposited by controlling the cycling number in cyclic voltammetry, suggesting that the $CuWO_4$ formed during 4 cycles (abbreviated as $CuWO_4$(4 cycles)) on FTO IO film exhibited partial distribution of $CuWO_4$ nanoparticles. Additional distribution of $CuWO_4$ nanoparticles was observed in the case of $FTO/CuWO_4$(8 cycles) IO film. The $CuWO_4$ layer exhibits triclinic structure with an indirect band gap of approximately 2.5 eV and shows the enhanced visible light absorption. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) behavior was evaluated in the 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$ solution under solar illumination, suggesting that the $FTO/CuWO_4$(4 cycles) IO films exhibit a photocurrent density ($J_{sc}$) of $0.42mA/cm^2$ at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE, denoted as $V_{RHE}$), while the FTO IO and $FTO/CuWO_4$(8 cycles) IO films exhibited a $J_{sc}$ of 0.14 and $0.24mA/cm^2$ at $1.23V_{RHE}$, respectively. This difference can be explained by the increased visible light absorption by the $CuWO_4$ layer and the favorable charge separation/transfer event in the cascading band alignment between FTO and $CuWO_4$ layer, enhancing the overall PEC performance.
