High brightness (Y$_{x}$/Gd$_{1-x}$ )$_2$O$_3$:Eu Phosphor Particles were directly Prepared in the spray Pyrolysis by adding flux materials such as LiCl and HBO$_3$. The (Y$_{x}$/Gd$_{1-x}$ )$_2$O$_3$:Eu particles prepared from solution with flux material had higher PL (photoluminescence) intensities than those prepared from solution without flux. In the spray pyrolysis, the flux acts as promoter of the growth of crystallite and activation of doping material as in the solid state reaction method. Additionally, the flux improved PL intensity of (Y$_{x}$/Gd$_{1-x}$ )$_2$O$_3$:Eu phosphor particles by densifying the internal structure and eliminating the defect existing inside and surface of (Y$_{x}$/Gd$_{1-x}$ )$_2$O$_3$:Eu phosphor particles.r particles.

[ $Gd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_3O_7$ ] (GdBCO) coated conductors on IBAD-MgO templates have grown by pulsed laser deposition. Critical current of the films were measured as about 90 A/cm by a four-probe method. The optical response of the films was investigated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. According to the Raman scattering spectra, the peaks at $328\;cm^{-1}$, $451\;cm^{-1}$, $504\;cm^{-1}$ were found and assigned to one $B_{1g}$ mode and two $A_{1g}$ modes, respectively. The high critical-current carrying behaviors of the GdBCO coated conductors are ascribed to their 123-structure without exchange of cation and incorporation of oxygen into the cuprates.

The temperature-dependent magnetization curves of amorphous Fe-Co-(Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb)-B alloys were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer from 77 K up to 900 K. The spin wave stiffness constants and the range of the exchange interaction were calculated from the saturation magnetization values at 0 K. Curie temperatures and the Bloch coefficients estimated from the saturation magnetization curves. The low temperature dependence of magnetization is in good agreement with Bloch relation, $M_{s}(T)=M_{s}(O)(1-BT^{3/2}-CT^{5/2})$. The spin wave stiffness constant and the range of exchange interaction are decreased by substitution of heavy rare earth (Tb, Gd).

We studied the effect of substrate-induced strain state on the superconducting transition in GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-x(GdBCO)/La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) bilayers deposited on a LaAlO₃ (LAO) substrate. The stain state of LSMO is controlled by increasing the thickness from 20 nm to 80 nm. Analyses on the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements reveal difference in the direction of MnO₆ octahedral distortion depending on the LSMO thickness, which leads to a difference in anisotropy of magnetization of LSMO layer. The superconducting transitions of our system are strongly correlated with the magnetic anisotropy accompanied by the MnO₆ octahedron distortion in a specific direction. This result suggests the possibility of improving the superconducting transition in the GdBCO/LSMO bilayer system by controlling the degree of competition between superconductivity and ferromagnetism via adjusting strain state in the LSMO layer.

0.04% Gd-duplex stainless steels (Gd-DSTSs) for neutron absorbing materials were inert arc-melted and poured into a Y-shape block with the size of $100{\times}100{\times}20[mm]$. The Gd-DSTS was hot rolled at $1200^{\circ}C$ followed by cold rolling to have 33% reduction. The average grain sizes of the rolling (RD), transverse (TD) and short transverse (ST) directions were 6, 7, $11{\mu}m$, respectively. The micro-hardnesses of the RD, TD and ST directions were 258.5, 292.3, 314.7 $H_V$, respectively. Corrosion potential and corrosion rate of the cold rolled Gd-duplex stainless steel in aerated artificial sea water and 0.1M $H_2SO_4$ solution were $0.2216V_{SHE}$, $0.0106A/cm^2$, $-0.0825V_{SHE}$, $0.0168A/cm^2$ for RD, $0.2210V_{SHE}$, $0.0077A/cm^2$, $0.0817V_{SHE}$, $0.0092A/cm^2$ for TD, $0.1056V_{SHE}$, $0.0059A/cm^2$, $0.0475V_{SHE}$, $0.0069A/cm^2$ for ST, respectively. The corrosion behavior depended on the texture, which were due to mainly grain boundary and minorly crystallographic texture. Friction coefficient and wear resistance were 2.07 and 0.48 mm, respectively.

A diffusion heat treatment process for YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y bulk superconductor in a Gd₂O₃ powder was attempted. As a result of measuring the critical temperature of the superconducting bulk, there was no change in the superconducting transition temperature as the Gd particles diffused into the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y lattice, resulting in dense microstructure. As a result of measuring the critical current, the critical current density (J_c) of the superconducting bulk having treated by the Gd thermal diffusion treatment at 0 T increased to 3×10⁴ A/cm² at 0 T, which was higher than that of the superconducting bulk without thermal diffusion treatment. The surface magnetic force of the superconducting bulk with Gd thermal diffusion treatment was observed at the center of the superconducting bulk with the maximum trapped magnetic force (Hmax) of 1.51 kG. This result means that the Gd thermal diffusion treatment contributes to improving the critical current density Jc of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y, and it is believed that Gd particles migrating into the superconducting bulk through thermal diffusion either fill the surface pores of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductors or act as a flux pinning center.

Electrochemical behaviors of $U^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ were investigated in LiCl-KCl eutectic molten salt by using various electrochemical techniques. The electrodeposition and dissolution currents for uranium show the maximum at -1.51V and -1.35V, respectively while, for gadolinium,at -2.15V and -1.9V, respectively. In case of LiCl-KCl molten salt containing both of $U^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$, the peak potential of electrodeposition of gadolinium shifts to more positive potential than in the solution without $U^{3+}$. The potentials in chronopotentiometric data suddenly dropped to negative value as soon as the reduction currents were applied and became constant at the potential around which the $U^{3+}$ and $Gd^{3+}$ are electrodeposited. The results of normal pulse voltammetry (NPV) and square wave voltammetry show that those methods can be used to qualitatively analyze the elements in the melts. Especially, the differentiation of NPV result was found to be useful for the separation of the peaks of which potentials are close each other.

Many methods have been developed to overcome the PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio) problem. Selective mapping(SLM) partial transmit sequence(PTS), subblock phase weighting(SPW) and gradient descent(GD) are used widely to reduce the PAPR. In this paper, we present a effective PAPR reduction method, decrease the calculation through Radix-2 DIF IFFT procedure and GD method. and can transmit selecting data sequence that satisfy threshold value as one part of proposed method, in case satisfy fixed threshold value, or transmit selecting data sequence with the lower papr operating remained part for performance improvement.

In this paper, we have studied the effect of earth (Gd, Er) on the various properties (microstructure, shrinkage, initial permeability, permeability as a function of frequency, etc) of Ba-ferrite. The permeabilities were analyzed by Impedance Analyzer(100KHz~40MHz) and Network Analyzer(30KHz~3㎓). As the result of XRD, all of the Ba-ferrite doped with rat earth was found to be Y-hexagonal phase. The resonance frequencies at the maximum imaginary value of complex permeability were observed near 2㎓. The complex permeabilities of the Ba-ferrite doped with Gd$_2$O$_3$at 3wt% and doped with Er$_2$O$_3$at 3wt% and 5wt% as a function of frequency showed the highest value at sintered temperature at 95$0^{\circ}C$/3h.
