The single crystal of CdTe was grown by modified 6 zone Bridgman method under the conditions of excess Te and excess Cd. To prevent the constitutional supercooling, the crystal growth was done under the temperature gradient of $17^{\circ}C/cm$ in front of the solid /liquid interface and the growth rate was 3mm/hr. The grain morphologies and the growth mechanism were investigated in excess Te and excess Cd conditions. The grain size of excess Te crystal was increased with an increase of the distance from the tip but, in the case of excess Cd crystal, single crystal was not obtained because of the cavities due to the excess Cd vapors so that the grain size was not increased with an increase of the distance from the tip. In addition, the growth of single crystal of CdTe was done with repeated necking ampoule. It was found that the necking had no effects on the grain selection because the cavities trapped in the necking portion acted as heterogeneous nucleation sites.

The crystal size was determined as a function of reaction temperature, during the crystallization process of NaX zeolite. The measured rate constants for linear growth were as 0.0441$\mu\textrm{m}$/h at $80^{\circ}C$, 0.0595$\mu\textrm{m}$/h at $90^{\circ}C$ and 0.0972$\mu\textrm{m}$/h at $100^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activation energy calculated from the relation between the linear growth rate an the reaction temperature was 43.243kJ/mol. The reaction of crystal growth were revealed as 20 days at $80^{\circ}C$, 16 days at $90^{\circ}C$ and 9 days at $100^{\circ}C$, respectively. Both the final product crystal size an the crystallization time were decreased with increasing reaction temperature.

Emerald (3BeO.Al2O3.6SiO2 : Cr3+) single crystals were crystals were grown by reflux method of temperature gradient in the flux solution of Li2O-MoO3-V2O5 system. The composition of flux materials were 3 mole ratio of MoO3-V2O5/Li2O, subtituted 0.2 mole% of K2O, Na2O, Nb2O5 etc to Li2O content, solved 10-15% of beryl to flux quantity and doped 1% of Cr2O3 to emerald amount. Those of mixing were melted at 110$0^{\circ}C$ in Pt containers of the 3 zone furnace of melt-growth-return to circulate continniously, specially it has been grown large emerald single crystal when thermal fluctuation was treated for 2hrs of once time a day at 1050-95$0^{\circ}C$ in growth zone, substitutional solid solution effect of Cr+3 ion for Al+3 to the growth of emerald single crystal was good. Emerald single crystals were c(0001) hexagonal crystal face of preferencial growth direction and m(1010) post side. When it had been durated for 5 months emerald single crystals of the firet size of 0.6mm thickness of seed crystal were grown 32$\times$65mm(c x m) of maximum size and 6.2mm thickness.

The size of crystallites in mono-dispersed cubic silver bromide grains was measured by applying a powder X-ray diffraction method and Scherrer's equation to grains that were suspended in swollen gelatin layers. In order to evaluate the existence of defects, the measured crystallite size was compared to those measured by using a scanning electron microscope. In the case of the grains prepared by the controlled double jet method, the size of crystallites was equal to the edge length of the grains that had edge lengths smaller than 400 nm. This result proved the usefulness of the above-stated method for measuring the size of crystallites and also evaluating the presence of any crystal defect in each grain. In the case of the grains, which were precipitated in the presence of a sensitizing dye and potassium iodide, the size of crystallites was smaller than the edge's length, indicating the discontinuities in the grains introduced during the precipitation process.

The infrared spectra were determined to discover the characteristics and properties of poff-, PV-, and cc-samples, and studied influence on the formation of mesophase or liquid crystal. The experimental results were as follows; a) Samples with long aliphatic side chain appear cracking texture on temperature forming liquid crystal. b) The fine isotropic microstructure appears in a heterogeneous material containing sulfur, 7.18 w%. c) In the size of molecular weight the lighter than 500 form liquid crystal. d) When poff-sample was treated at $400^{\circ}C$ aliphatic hydrocabon compounds decrease, presented well-oriented bulk liquid crystal.

A large single crystal of AlN was grown by PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) method. The AlN crystal shaped hexagonal of the diameter of about 46 mm and the thickness of 7.6 mm was grown using 33 mm seed crystal which was grown and made by ourselves. We tried to find out repeatable growth possibility for AlN crystal growth and then to evaluate the repeatability of the growth condition of the temperature of $1950{\sim}2100^{\circ}C$ and the ambient pressure of 0.1~1 atm.

Currently, diopside ($MgCaSi_2O_6$) crystal glaze is used frequently for pottery works or in earthen wares, though the process is not straightforward. However, to create and control the positions and sizes of the crystals in desired amounts when making pottery is difficult. To solve this problem, a diopside crystal seed was created at a temperature of $1450^{\circ}C$. After planting this seed in the glaze, a glaze combination and firing process which allows a user to create crystals with the desired position and at the desired size were established. In addition, in order to investigate the creation process of the crystals, the growth patterns of the crystals were observed and examined using Raman spectrography and XRD and SEM analyses. As a result, the optimum synthesis condition of the diopside seed was created by mixing 1 mole of $CaCo_3$, 0.2 mole of $(MgCo_3)_4(MgCoH)_2{\cdot}5H_2O$ and 2 moles of $SiO_2$ and then applying a firing process to the mixture at $1,450^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The optimum glaze content of the seed was 70 % feldspar, 20 % limestone and 10 % $MgCo_3$. For the firing process, it was confirmed that the size of crystal is larger with a longer firing time at $1100^{\circ}C$ by completing a two-hour process at $1280^{\circ}C$. In addition, the diopside crystal has columnar structure and is less than $1{\mu}m$ in size.

In this study, the optical properties of CaF2-Al2O3-B2O3-TiO2 (CABT) system glass doped with rare earth ion, that is used in various light devices due to its excellent luminous properties, were analyzed as a function of kind of crystal phases formed and size of crystals generated in the glass matrix. TiO2 was added to control nucleation and crystallization, and Eu2O3 was added to enhance the luminescence characteristics. DTA analysis was performed to confirm the heat treatment condition of crystal generation, and XRD and SEM anal ysis were carried out for the crystal phase change of nanometer size. As a result of the analysis, the luminous properties of oxy-fluoride-based glass were improved duo to crystallization of nanometer size, but was rather degraded when excessively large crystals were generated.

Nanosize $SiO_2$composite particles have been synthesized within reverse micelle via metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. The size of the particles can be controlled by manipulating the relative rates of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) within the microemulsion. The average size of synthesized particles was about in the size range 14~30nm. The effects of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to TEOS, the molar ratio of water to surfactant, and the amount of base catalyst, are discussed.

Nickel(Ni) powders were prepared from the mixture of nickel chloride and magnesium stearate by a hydrogen reduction process, and the effect of reaction temperature and the addition of magnesium stearate on the chracteristics of the powders were investigated. The effect of size reduction of nickel particles was observed in the presence of magnesium stearate owing to the inhibition of excess growth of paricles. The size reduction and the degree of agglomeration of the particles affected by the amounts of liqiud phase, which related to the increase of magnesium stearate.
