Microstructure of the Fe-Ti system by ion beam mixing of multilayers at 300 K and 77 K has been studied in a wide composition range. The ion bombardment was carried out using $Ar^+$ ions at 80 keV. Using grazing angle x-ray diffraction we find that the lattice parameters of these bcc solid solutions are very close to that of $\alpha$-Fe. Extended x-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy have been performed to investgate the short-range order in the ion-beam-mixed state. The structure parameters, such as the interatomic distance and the coordination number are estmated from the Fe K-edge Fourier filtered EXAFS spectra. The interatomic distance is independent of the alloy concentration and it is almost constant. The study of x-ray absorption near-edge structure gives information on the individual $\rho$components of the partial densityof states of the conduction band of the Fe and Ti We also find that a charge transfer from Ti to Fe atoms takes place.

We report various synchrotron radiation laboratory based techniques used to characterize cement based materials in nanometer scale. High resolution X-ray transmission imaging combined with a rotational axis allows for rendering of samples in three dimensions revealing volumetric details. Scanning transmission X-ray microscope combines high spatial resolution imaging with high spectral resolution of the incident beam to reveal X-ray absorption near edge structure variations in the material nanostructure. Microdiffraction scans the surface of a sample to map its high order reflection or crystallographic variations with a micron-sized incident beam. High pressure X-ray diffraction measures compressibility of pure phase materials. Unique results of studies using the above tools are discussed-a study of pores, connectivity, and morphology of a 2,000 year old concrete using nanotomography; detection of localized and varying silicate chain depolymerization in Al-substituted tobermorite, and quantification of monosulfate distribution in tricalcium aluminate hydration using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy; detection and mapping of hydration products in high volume fly ash paste using microdiffraction; and determination of mechanical properties of various AFm phases using high pressure X-ray diffraction.

The crystallinity and phase ratio of anatase to rutile in $TiO_2$ were estimated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Traditionally, the structural characterization of $TiO_2$ powders has been carried out by XRD techniques, which are comparatively easy in use and analysis. However, materials with amorphous phase, nano-sized or nano-structured crystallinities cannot be fully characterized by XRD because XRD analysis has a limit for abnormal contributions of the nano-crystal such as the surface contribution. From the comparison with the experimental and calculated Ti K-edge XAS spectra, we found the possibility of efficient estimation in the crystalinites and the phase ratio of anatase to rutile for nano-sized $TiO_2$ mixture.

The anomlous signal, anomaly, recorded by a sub-bottem profiler is analized for exploration of buried objects in the ocean, This anomaly is known as a signal diffracted from the edge of the buried object. Signals obtained from model that and numerical simulation are analized for investigating characteristics of the diffracted signal. From this study a diffracted signal and a non-diffracted signal can be identified, and the location of the object can be obtained. In order to identify an object in the seafloor the dimension of the object should be greater than the wave length used for exploration, and the acoustic impedance should be much greater than that of sediments. A 2-trace stacking of the signals can enhance the feature of strongly diffracted signals whereas it can diminish weak signals.

In this paper, development of the noise barrier analysis program is described. The upper part of barriers may have complicated shapes like "Y", "T", inverted L, and other shapes. The insertion loss of the barrier is predicted by summation of multiple diffractions occurring at top edge points. In addition, the program considers diffractions occurring at both vertical sides, while reflections from ground due to mirror images are also included. In case of two barriers at both sides of the road, reflections from the other side of barriers are considered, in which magnitudes are decreased by the ratio of absorption coefficient.

Ultra thin tantalum nitride (TaNx) films with various thicknesses (10 nm to 40 nm) have been deposited by rf magnetron sputtering technique on glass substrates. The as deposited films were systematically characterized by several analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR double beam spectrophotometer and four point probe method. From the XRD results, the as deposited films are in amorphous nature, irrespective of the film thicknesses. The films composition was changed greatly with increasing the film thickness. SEM micrographs exhibited the densely pack microstructure, and homogeneous surface covered by small size grains at lower thickness deposited films. The surface roughness of the films was linearly increases with increasing the films thickness, consequently the transmittance decreased. The absorption edge was shifted towards higher wavelength as the film thickness increases.

Outdoor experimental study is presented the insertion loss caused by barrier considering discontinuous ground condition. Measurements ware made in 1/3 octave band over the frequency range 315 Hz~3150 Hz with the various geometry of the source, receiver and barriers. The frequency range of the interference pattern depends on the phase difference between path from the edge of barrier to receiver, and hence on the acoustical properties of the ground on the receiver side of the barrier. The insertion loss by barrier, in addition to diffraction, is shown to be dependent on the ground characteristic.

For H-polarized incident plane wave, an exact integral expression for the scattered field by an inversely tapered resistive half plane is obtained by using Kontorovich-Lebedev transform. Uniform asymptotic results available for all angles are obtained, and non-uniform asymptotic results which provide the ray-optical interpretation of the calculated scattered field are also obtained. The edge diffraction patterns for several values of inverse proportionality of resistivity are shown. We find out that the results are in agreement with physical reasoning.

In this paper, $As_{40}Se_{50-x}S_[x}Ge_{10}$(x=0, 25, 35, at.%) bulk and thin films, to develope device of reversible hologram, proved amorphous by X-RD analysis. On the thin films with composition rate, as Se-doped-quantity increased, absorption edge shifted to long wavelength, and we found that reversible photodarkening effect occurred when thin films are exposed and annealed. Optical energy gap was larger when thin films are annealed than exposed. In this effect thin films structurally stabilized by annealing. It is to formed grating hologram by the bragg method on the $As_{40}Se_{15}S_[35}Ge_{10}$ thisn films with the best transmittance properties As polariging angle grew larger, we found that maximum diffraction efficiency became smaller, and obtained it of 4.5% on the thin fim thicknesss of 0.6 m, polarizing angle of 40$^[\circ}$ and exposing for 20sec.
