$YBaCo_2O_{5+{\delta}}$ oxide was synthesized by solid state reaction and a typical dense membrane has been prepared using as-prepared powder by unilateral pressing and sintering at $1,180^{\circ}C$. The $YBaCo_2O_{5+{\delta}}$ membraneswas analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). XRD analysis showed the double layered perovskite structure was observed over $1,150^{\circ}C$ without impurities. Oxygen permeation was measured in the temperature range from 750 to $950^{\circ}C$ according to oxygen partial pressure difference between feed and permeation side. The oxygen permeation flux increased with increasing temperature and oxygen partial pressure and the maximum oxygen flux of $YBaCo_2O_{5+{\delta}}$ membrane with 1.0 mm thickness was about 0.15 mL/$cm^2{\cdot}min$ at $950^{\circ}C$ and $PO_2$ = 0.42 atm. The activation energy for oxygen permeation decreased with decreasing oxygen partial pressure to be 76.0 kJ/mol at the condition of $PO_2$ = 0.21 atm.

대형구조물의 구조안정성 진단, 로봇과 같은 지능기계의 제어, 환경오염을 감지하기 위한 센서의 중요성은 날로 증대되고 있다. 이러한 센서의 감도와 성능을 높이기 위해서 소형화, 다기능화, 집적화가 요구되고 있는데, 고성능 센서소자들의 집적화를 위해서 기존에 적용된 벌크형태의 재료들을 박막화하여 다층적층 및 소형화할 필요가 있다. 집적화 센서의 구현에 있어서 전극박막은 센서의 특성을 좌우하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 일반적으로 금속박막이 전극으로 사용되고 있으나 열적 불안정성 및 박리현상의 문제점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해 전도성산화막을 전극으로 적용하고자하는 연구가 요구되고 있다. 전도성산화막을 전극으로 적용하면 센서소자의 성능이 개선되는 경향이 있다. $Sr_2FeMoO_6$(SFMO) 산화물은 자기장을 인가했을 때 저항이 감소하는 CMR(colossal magnetoresistance) 물질이며 상온비저항이 낮은 것으로 알려져 있다. 이중 페롭스카이트 (double perovskite) 구조를 갖는 $Sr_2FeMoO_6$ 박막은 센서소자의 전극으로 적용 가능할 것으로 생각되어 박막을 제조하고자 하였으며 미세구조와 전기전도 특성을 조사하였다. 박막제조를 위해서는 RF 스퍼터법을 사용하였다. 스퍼터를 위한 타겟은 고상반응법으로 분말타겟을 제조하였다. Ar/$O_2$ 가스 유랑변화, 압력변화, 기판 온도변화가 박막의 상형성 등 박막특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 기판으로는 $SiO_2$(100nm)/Si 기판을 사용하였다. 증착직후에는 비정질막이 얻어졌으며 SFMO 상을 만들기 위해서는 후열처리가 필요하였는데, 환원성 가스 분위기 [$H_2$(5%)/Ar] 에서 열처리 조건을 최적화하여 이중 페롭스카이트 구조의 단일상 박막을 제조할 수 있었다. SFMO 단일상 박막은 증착시에나 후열처리 시 산소의 억제가 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

Perovskite manganites such as $RE_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ (RE = rare earth, A = Ca, Sr, Ba) have been the subject of intense research in the last few years, ever since the discovery that these systems demonstrate colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The CMR is usually explained with the double-exchange (DE) mechanism, and CMR materials have potential applications for magnetic switching, recording devices, and more. However, the intrinsic CMR effect is usually found under the conditions of a magnetic field of several Teslas and a narrow temperature range near the Curie temperature ($T_c$). This magnetic field and temperature range make practical applications impossible. Recently, another type of MR, called the low-field magnetoresistance(LFMR), has also been a research focus. This MR is typically found in polycrystalline half-metallic ferromagnets, and is associated with the spin-dependent charge transport across grain boundaries. Composites with compositions $La_{0.7}(Ca_{1-x}Sr_x)_{0.3}MnO_3)]_{0.99}/(BaTiO_3)_{0.01}$ $[(LCSMO)_{0.99}/(BTO)_{0.01}]$were prepared with different Sr doping levels x by a standard ceramic technique, and their electrical transport and magnetoresistance (MR) properties were investigated. The structure and morphology of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). BTO peaks could not be found in the XRD pattern because the amount of BTO in the composites was too small. As the content of x decreased, the crystal structure changed from orthorhombic to rhombohedral. This change can be explained by the fact that the crystal structure of pure LCMO is orthorhombic and the crystal structure of pure LSMO is rhombohedral. The SEM results indicate that LCSMO and BTO coexist in the composites and BTO mostly segregates at the grain boundaries of LCSMO, which are in accordance with the results of the magnetic measurements. The resistivity of all the composites was measured in the range of 90-400K at 0T, 0.5T magnetic field. The result indicates that the MR of the composites increases systematically as the Ca concentration increases, although the transition temperature $T_c$ shifts to a lower range.
