Alumina particles were grafted onto the surface of manganese oxide particles via the coprecipitation process using surfactant and cosurfactant. The phase of Mn/Al salts (Phase I) and the phase of precipitation agent (Phase II) were prepared in aqueous surfactant solution, separately. Phase II was added into Phase I and the reaction was performed to form the precursors of composites through hydrogen bonding between $Mn(OH)_2$ and $Al(OH)_3$ prepared by the reaction of Mn/Al salts with the precipitation agent. The alumina-grafted manganese oxide particles were obtained as a final product after calcination. The concentrations of Al salt and surfactant were varied to investigate their effects on the formation and the crystallinity of composites. In addition, the crystal structure of products could be controlled by changing the calcination temperature. Through thermal analyses, it was found that the thermal stability of manganese oxide was improved by the introduction of alumina on its surface.

A homogeneous and stoichimetric fine powder of the ferroelectric $Pb_[0.97}La_{0.02}(Zr_{0.64}Sn_{0.25}Ti_{0.11})O_3$ (PLZST) has been prepared by the hydroxide coprecipitation method. Studies on the crystallization behavior of precursor as a function of temperature by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy technique were consistent with the formation of the pyrochlore phase from amorphous, initially at low temperatures around 500~$550^{\circ}C$. Further heat treatment up to $750^{\circ}C$ resulted in development of the perovskite phase with no significant pyrochlore crystallite growth. At intermediate temperatures the precursor yields a fine mixture of pyrochlore and perovskite phases. When the pyrochlore phase was heat teated in air, slight weight increase was observed in the temperature range of 300~$700^{\circ}C$, which is thought to be caused from oxygen absorption. In argon atmosphere, weight increase was not observed. On the other hand, weight loss began to occur near $700^{\circ}C$, with giving off mostly CO2 gas. This implies that the pyrochlore phase seems to be crystallorgraphycally and thermodynamically metastable. An apparent activation energy of 53.9 ㎉/mol was estimated for the pyrochlore-perovskite phase transformation.

The hexagonal tungsten bronze $Cs_xWO_3$ nanoparticle was synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method of ammonium tungstate and $Cs_2CO_3$ in acidic condition. This synthetic method for cesium tungsten bronze is reported for the first time as far as we know. The synthesized $Cs_xWO_3$ as precipitated showed a weak crystallinity of hexagonal unit cell with a crystallite size of about 4 nm without annealing. When the synthesized $Cs_xWO_3$ was annealed in $N_2$ atmosphere, the crystallinity and crystallite size systematically increased maintaining the typical hexagonal tungsten bronze structure as the annealing temperature increased. The analyzed Cs content in the bronze was about 0.3 vs W, which is very close to the theoretical maximum value, 1/3 in cesium tungsten bronze. According to XPS analysis, the reduced tungsten ions existed as both the forms of $W^{5+}$ and $W^{4+}$ and the contents systematically increased as the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$. The $Cs_xWO_3$ thin films on PET substrate were also prepared by a wet-coating method using the ball-milled solution of the annealed $Cs_xWO_3$ nanoparticles at various temperatures. The near-infrared shielding property of these thin films increased systematically as the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$ as expected with the increased contents of reduced tungsten ions.

Strontium niobate, $Sr_2Nb_2O_{7}$ was prepared by the molten stilt synthesis (MSS) and the chemical coprecipitation method (CCP). Single phase $Sr_2Nb_2O_{7}$ was obtained by MSS and CCP at $750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. An intermediate phase of composition, $Sr_{5}Nb_4O_{15}$, appeared at $700^{\circ}C$ when CCP method was employed. The resulting powder was observed to have finer particles and more uniform distribution of particle sizes, as compared to those obtained through the conventional method. Such powder characteristics allowed the use of a much lower sintering temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$. Grain-orientation along (0k0) direction, which is advantageous for improving dielectric properties, was also observed. The sintering characteristics and the dielectric properties prepared by MSS and CCP, were better than those by the conventional method.

The Zn1-xMnxO ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) samples have been synthesized in the form of powder by the coprecipitation method at low temperature using $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$. $2H_2O$ and $Mn(CH_3COO)_2$. $4H_2O$ powders, as well as HCl and $NH_4OH$ solutions as starting materials. Characterization was conducted using XRD, TEM, XRF, FTIR and VSM. The result shows that the $Zn_{(1-x)}Mn_xO$ ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) nanoparticles have the wurtzite phase with a hexagonal structure and particle sizes ranging from 17.48 to 118.83 nm. In a qualitative analysis of XRF, the peaks that confirm the existence of the manganese element in Mn-doped ZnO samples were observed. Meanwhile, FTIR test result shows that there are peaks at around $500cm^{-1}$ and $400cm^{-1}$ in the FTIR spectra for Mn doped ZnO samples which clearly reveal the existence of the (Zn, Mn)-O strain mode. The (Zn, Mn)-O absorption peak positions have shifted to a lower wave number with increasing Mn doping content. The peak intensity is also lower if compared to that of the ZnO sample without doping. From the VSM test, it is shown that $Zn_{(1-x)}Mn_xO$ ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) nanoparticles are all paramagnetic having monotonically increased susceptibility as increasing Mn content.
