전기전도성이 우수하면서 입자 크기가 작은 $LiFePO_4$ 분말을 얻기 위해서, 이종원소(Cr+B 또는 Cr+Al) 도핑이 $LiFePO_4$의 전기전도도에 미치는 영향과 열처리 조건이 입자 크기에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 조성이 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}B_{0.005}PO_4$ and $LiFe_{0.065}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$인 두 종류의 분말을 기계화학적 밀링법으로 혼합 후 $675{\sim}759^{\circ}C$에서 $5{\sim}10$시간 열처리하여 합성하였다. 이종원소 도핑은 입자성장을 촉진하였고 전기전도도를 높이는 효과가 있었다. $LiFe_{0.065}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$의 전기전도도는 $1{\times}10^{-8}S/cm$로 도핑하지 않은 것의 $5{\times}10^{-10}S/cm$보다 높았다.

In order to acquire fundamental informations to fabricate high precision thin film resistors, NiCr/NiCrSi alloy films were prepared using Ni and Cr targets. Effect of composition on the electrical properties of the NiCr/NiCrSi alloy film were then investigated. Considering the effect of Si doping on the electrical and material characteristics, the lower TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) values could be achieved for samples with Ni/Cr ratio of $0.8{\sim}1.5$ (in a range of relative higher specific resistivity and Cr composition of $40\;wt%{\sim}55\;wt%$) and with Si doping. Consequently, the sample prepared using a DC power showed a good TCR of $-25\;ppm/^{\circ}C$, which implies that increase of specific resistivity and decrease of TCR would be achieved more efficiently not for Ni-Cr binary material but for Si doped Ni-Cr ternary material, and not using RF power but using DC power in the sputtering process.

This study reports the root cause of the improved rate performance of $LiFePO_4$ after Cr doping. By measuring the chemical diffusion coefficient of lithium ($D_{Li}$) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the correlation between the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ and Li diffusion is acquired. The diffusion constants for $LiFePO_4$/C and $LiFe_{0.97}Cr_{0.03}PO_4$/C measured from CV are $2.48{\times}10^{-15}$ and $4.02{\times}10^{-15}cm^2s^{-1}$, respectively, indicating significant increases in diffusivity after the modification. The difference in diffusivity is also confirmed by EIS and the $D_{Li}$ values obtained as a function of the lithium content in the cathode. These results suggest that Cr doping facilitates Li ion diffusion during the charge-discharge cycles. The low diffusivity of the $LiFePO_4$/C leads to the considerable capacity decline at high discharge rates, while high diffusivity of the $LiFe_{0.97}Cr_{0.03}PO_4$/C maintains the initial capacity, even at high C-rates.

In this study, we have investigated the effects of Cr dopant on the sintering and electrical properties of ZnO-$Sb_2O_3$ (ZS) ceramics for varistor application. Spinel phases including $\alpha-$ and $\beta$-type was formed at ZS system and $\alpha$-spinel was stabilized by Cr doping in ZS system. Densification of ZS and ZSCr system was retarded to $1000^{\circ}C$ by the formation of spinel at $800^{\circ}C$. The morphology and its distribution of spinel phases in ZS system was homogeneous but disturbed by Cr doping. In ZSCr the densification of ZnO compared with ZS system was more retarded by low concentration of Zn interstitial defects induced by Cr doping in addition to the effect of spinel phase formation. The defects in each system were identified as attractive coulombic center (ZS: 0.13 eV, ZSCr: 0.12 eV) and singly charged oxygen vacancy $V_0^{\cdot}$ (ZSCr: 0.33 eV). In all ZS and ZSCr system have week varistor behavior by the formation of double Schottky barrier at grain boundary but its stability of barrier was very sensitive to sintering temperature.

The structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of $CoMn_{1-x}Cr_xGe$ (x=0.05-0.125) have been investigated by using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, calorimetric and magnetic measurements. In this study, our aim is to justify the magnetocaloric effect by tuning the structural and magnetic transition temperature with Cr doping on CoMnGe pure system. The substitution of Cr for Mn leads to a decrease of both structural and magnetic transition temperatures. However, structural and magnetic transition temperatures do not close to each other. From magnetization measurement, we calculate that isothermal entropy change associated with magnetic transition can be as high as 3.82 J $kg^{-1}K^{-1}$ at 302 K in a field of 7 T. Meanwhile, structural phase transition contribution to isothermal entropy change is calculated as 5.85 J $kg^{-1}K^{-1}$ at 322 K for 7 T.

The effect of Cr$_2$O$_3$(0 to 0.5 wt%) doping on the microstructure and electrical properties of ternary Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$-Pb(Ni,Nb)O$_3$piezoelectric ceramic has been investigated. Abnormal grain growth (grain size 3.3 to 11.2 $\mu$m) and densification are found. Minor additives of $\leq$0.1 wt% improve the mechanical coupling factor, but with more additives of $\geq$0.2 wt% electrical properties deteriorate. Thus, these phenomna can be ascribed mainly to anomalous developed microstructure. The large grains were composed of a core region that is free of Cr and a surrounding shell region rich in Cr. The interfaces between the core and the shell were composed of misfit dislocations. The mechanical properties of the specimens were strongly influenced by this microstructural change. The microstrutural and compositonal evolution of the specimens containing different amounts of Cr$_2$O$_3$were monitored. Electrical properties were measured and related to the variations in the microstructure.

[ $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ ] (BST) dielectric thin films doped by Cr were prepared using an alkoxide-based sol-gel method on the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. Atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis showed that increasing the Cr doping ratio causes increased grain size while the surface remains smooth and crack-free. It was also found that compared with undoped films the increase of Cr content in BST improves the dielectric constant and the leakage-current characteristics. The figure of merit reached the maximum value of 72.3 at the 5 mol % of Cr doping. This composition showed the dielectric constant of 426, the loss factor of 0.0065, tenability of 47.7%, and leakage-current density (at the electric field of 100 kV/cm) of $5.31{\times}10^{-8}A/cm^2$. The results show that the Cr-doped BST thin films are prospective candidates for applications in tunable devices.

The electrical properties and dc aging behavior for specified stress state of system, which is composed of quaternary Zn-Pr-Co-Cr, were investigated for different $Dy_2O_3$ addition doping level. As $Dy_2O_3$ doping level increased, the density decreased in the range of 5.51-4.90 $g/cm^3$, reaching maximum at 0.5 mol% and the average ZnO grain size decreased in the range of 17.7-6.0 ${\mu}m$. The incorporation of $Dy_2O_3$ significantly improved the non-ohmic properties, above 30 in non-ohmic coefficient, compared with that of undoped samples. The samples with the best performance of non-ohmic properties were obtained for $Dy_2O_3$ doping level of 1.0 mol%, with 49 in non-ohmic coefficient and 2.6 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ in leakage current. The samples with the highest stability were obtained for $Dy_2O_3$ doping level of 0.5 mol%.

크롬이 도핑된 $LiFePO_4$ 분말이 도핑되지 않은 것보다 이차전지용 양극활물질로서 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 향상은 도핑에 의해서 양극활물질의 전자전도도가 높아지기 때문인 것으로 생각되고 있다. 크롬과 또 하나의 전형원소가 도핑된 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}B_{0.005}PO_4$와 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$의 전기전도도를 30에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 측정하였다. 도핑된 분말은 유성밀에 의한 기계화학적 혼합을 한 후 675~$750^{\circ}C$에서 5~10시간 열처리하여 합성하였다. 이러한 도핑은 분말의 전기전도도를 높이고 입자 성장을 촉진시켰다. 크롬과 알루미늄이 도핑된 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ 분말의 $30^{\circ}C$에서의 전기전도도는 $1{\times}10^{-8}S/cm$이었으며, 이 값은 도핑하지 않은 것보다 두 자릿수 높은 값 이었다.

This study developed a pigment by doping Cr to Pyrochlore-type stannate crystals and investigated the chromogenic relationship in a glaze. Crystal phases of the pigment according to firing temperatures were analyzed by XRD, and the doping relationship was analyzed by Raman Spectroscopy. Color and reflection rate of the pigment were measured by UV-vis Spectrophotometer. Consequently, stannate characteristic band appeared at 307, 408, 505 and $755cm^{-1}$ until 0.1 mole substitution of $Cr_2O_3$. However, as amount of $Cr_2O_3$ increased, the stannate characteristic peak was decreased and shift happened at the left hand side due to Cr-dope. In composition of 0.12~0.14 mole substituted, the unreacted $Cr_2O_3$ stannate characteristic peak, which was not engaged, was shown. This result shows the maximum limit of solid solution was 0.1 mole $Cr_2O_3$. The color of the glaze, which was produced by adding 6 wt% of $Y_2Sn_{1.94}Cr_{0.06}O_7$ pigment in a lime or a lime-magnesia glaze and fired the mixture at $1260^{\circ}C$, was grayish pink with $L^*$ 70.29, $a^*$ 5.68 and $b^*$ 6.27. It showed gray with $L^*$ 68.82, $a^*$ 3.07and $b^*$ 8.13 for $Y_2Sn_{1.9}Cr_{0.1}O_7$.
