  • Yb$^{3+}$ 이온은 InGaAs LD 및 Ti:sapphire 레이저로 펌핑할 수 있는 940 nm에서의 흡수대를 가지고 있고, 1.03 $mu extrm{m}$의 형광방출 특성을 가지고 있으며, 지금까지 알려진 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장대의 레이저 활성이온 중에서 가장 적게 열을 발생하는 특성을 가지고 있음이 알려져 최근에는 Yb$^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가한 여러 가지 레이저 매질이 연구되고 있다.[1] 그 중에서도 Yb$^{3+}$ ion doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Yb:YAG) 단결정은 충분하게 넓은 흡수선폭, 좋은 열광학적 특성, 고출력 작동을 하게 하는 stokes shift, 그리고 LD에 의한 펌핑을 가능하게 하는 940 nm 영역에서의 흡수 및 긴 여기시간을 가진 이상적인 매질로 알려져 있다.[2] 이러한 특성으로 인해 Yb:YAG 단결정은 femtosecond 레이저 등 각종 레이저 시스템의 소형화[3]를 가져왔으며, 레이저 결정의 양산 가능성 및 레이저 기기의 소형화에 따르는 시스템의 가격 감소가 가능하므로 Yb:YAG microchip 레이저는 향후 고출력 레이저 기기 산업의 중추가 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • The single crystalline thick films of Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(YIG), Y$_3$Fe$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/(Bi:YIG), (TbBi)$_3$(FeAlGa)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (TbBi:YIG) were grown on (GdCa)$_3$(GaMgZr)$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/ (SGGG) by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE). The change of lattice mismatch, Bi concentration, characteristic of magnetic and surface morphology were investigated in the thick film growth as a function of species and amount of chemical element, while substrate rotation speed, supercooling and growth time were kept constant. It was observed that the lattice constant of garnet single crystalline thick films of TbBi:YIG (12.500 ${\AA}$) is closed to the one of the substrate (12.496 ${\AA}$). Besides magnetic field of saturation exhibits excellent results (150 Oe).

  • In this study, we investigated the effect of annealing conditions on the ferromagnetic resonance(FMR) of yttrium iron garnet ($Y_3Fe_5O_{12}$, YIG) thin film prepared on gadolinium gallium garnet ($Gd_3Ga_5O_{12}$, GGG) substrate. The YIG thin films were grown by rf magnetron sputtering at room temperature and were annealed at various temperatures from 700 to $1000^{\circ}C$. FMR characteristics of the YIG thin films were investigated with a coplanar waveguide FMR measurement system in a frequency range from 5 to 20 GHz. X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to characterize the phase formation, crystal structure and composition of the YIG thin films. Field dependent magnetization curves at room temperature were obtained by using a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). The FMR measurements revealed that the resonance magnetic field was highly dependent on the annealing condition: the lowest FMR linewidth can be observed for the $800^{\circ}C$ annealed sample, which agrees with the VSM results. We also found that the Fe and O composition changes during the annealing process play important roles in the observed magnetic properties.

  • In this study, phosphor ceramics were fabricated, and optical properties were analyzed for application to nextgeneration automotive laser headlamps by using a spherical YAG : Ce phosphor with a garnet structure synthesized based on the spray drying method. The thickness of phosphor ceramic using spherical YAG : Ce phosphor was obtained with 100 ㎛, 150 ㎛, and 200 ㎛ to investigate the effect of thickness on optical properties such as light conversion efficiency, heat dissipation, luminance and color temperature. The results of this study are expected to play a significant role in the manufacturing process for the fabrication of phosphor ceramic by solving issues such as the high cost and low yield in the conventional liquid method to manufacture YAG : Ce nano fluorescent materials.

  • $\beta-SiC $powder with or without the addition of 1 wt% of $\alpha-SiC$ particles (seeds) was pressureless-sintered at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 0.5, 2 and 4 h using $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ (yttrium aluminum garnet, YAG) as a sintering aid. The introduction of $\alpha-SiC$ seeds into $\beta-SiC$ accelerated :he grain growth of elongated large grains during sintering, resulting in the coarser microstructure. The fracture toughnesses of materials with $\alpha$-SiC seeds and without $\alpha-SiC$ seeds sintered for 4 h were 7.5 and 6.1 $MPa\cdot \textrm m^{1/2}$, respectively. Higher fracture toughness of the material with seeds was due to the enhanced bridging by elongated grains, resulting from coarser microstructure.

  • Chemical composition, crystal structure, refractive index, specific gravity, color, and luster were studied fur pyrope-almandine series garnets. The main coloring agents determining the reddish or brownish garnets were also investigated. It was also examined if there is any relationship between mineralogical properties with respect to the various chemical compositions in the solid solution, in the hope to figure out the existing classification values of R.I. and S.G. using gem- testing facilities to distinguish pyrope from almadine. It was found that 17 out of the 24 specimens belong to pyrope and the rest almandine. R.I. of pyrope goes up to 1.77 and that of almandine is higher than the value.5.5. of pyrope reaches to 3.88 and that of almandine is greater than the value of pyrope. X-ray diffraction data revealed that pyrope-almandine garnets are isometric with space group Ia3d, and also show that the variation of cell parameters are not significant enough to parallel with the chemical compositions of the series. R.I. and S.G. increase with FeO content. Fe and Mn are most responsible to the red-purple and orange coloration of the specimens, respectively. Both zircon and rutile crystals are most common inclusions in the reddish stones.

  • Sangdong scheelite deposit is confirmed to have been formed by replacement of limestone beds by metasomatic mineralization. Mineralogical zonal distribution and filling temperatures are related with order of its formation and tungsten mineralization. The first formed garnet-pyroxene zone, left in the margins of the ore body, shows the highest filling temperature of fluid inclusions in pyroxene, averaging $420^{\circ}C$. The central part of the ore body, mainly composed of quartz-mica-scheelite, shows higher fi11ing temperatures of fluid inclusions in quartz, than hornblende-quartz-scheelite zone surrounding the quartz-mica-scheelite zone, averaging $240^{\circ}C$. The distribution of highter filling temperatures above average temperature is applicable to the richest part of scheelite distribution. Generally scheelite shows higher filling temperature by about 20 to $100^{\circ}C$ than quartz in a given sample. The crystallization temperature of the main phase of scheelite deposition is $311^{\circ}C$ at the pressure of 230 to 500 bars at Sangdong area. Gas-rich inclusions in the pyroxene are homogenized into either gas or liquid phase or into both phases in a given crystal of the pyroxene, which suggests boiling at the formation of skarn.

  • Polycrystalline nonstoichiometric bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet films with cation ratios of Bi:Y:Fe=1.5+u:1.5:5 and Bi:Y:Fe=1.5:1.5+v:5, where $-0.7{\leq}u{\leq}1.0$ and $-0.7{\leq}v{\leq}1.3$, have been prepared by pyrolysis. The crystal phases formed in these films at various temperatures have been analyzed by high power x-ray diffractometry (XRD). The saturation ma- gnetization, the Curie temperatures, and the Faraday rotation at the wavelength of 633 nm have been measured as a function of u and v. The XRD studies indicated that the bismuth and yttrium depleted (u < 0 and v < 0) films consisted of the mixed phases of garnet and impunity. While in the bismuth and ytrium overdosed films, no impurity lines were observed over a wide composition range of $0{\leq}u{\leq}0.5$ and $0{\leq}v{\leq}0.7$. The observed magnetic and magneto-optic data of these overdosed films, however, could only be reasonably explained by assuming the presence of samll amount of spurious phases, not detectable by the XRD.

  • Yttrium Iron Garnet($Y_{3}Fe_{5)O_{12}$) films have been succsssfully grown on(111)GGG wafer by KrF excimer laser ablation of stoichiometric garnet target at the oxygen partial pressure, $P(O_{2}$, ranging 20 to 500 mTorr. During the deposition of the films the substrate temperature was maintained at $700^{\circ}C$ and the laser beam energy density at $7.75\;J/cm_{2}$. Microstructure, composition and magnetic properties of the films obtained were investigated as a function of oxygen pressure and thickness of the films. Epitaxial films with a dense and a smooth surface were reproducible at a low oxygen pressure. The films of $2.75\;{\mu}$ min thickness deposited at 20 mTorr of $P(O_{2})$ showed $4{\pi}M_{s}$ of 1500 Gauss and $H_{c}$ of 3 Oe after annealing at $800\;^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. As-deposited films of $0.8\;\mu\textrm{m}$ in thickness exhibited the $4{\pi}M_{s}$ of 1730 Gauss and $H_{c}$ of 7 Oe. The magnetic properties of the films obtained were almost identical to those of a single crystal YIG.

  • In this study, spherical monodispersed cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG : $Ce^{3+}$) phosphor particles were synthesized via homogeneous precipitation method using the mixed solution of yttrium nitrate, cerium nitrate, aluminum nitrate, ammonium aluminum sulfate, and urea as a precipitant. During the process of precursors of monodispersed YAG : $Ce^{3+}$, aluminum ions which form spherical aluminum compounds precipitated first and yttrium compounds precipitated onto the surface of the existing spherical aluminum compounds. Drying process using lyophilization could obtain monodispered spherical YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ particles compare to using oven. The thermal calcination process of YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ precursors under the temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$ for 6 h was enough to obtain 400~500 nm sized YAG particles with pure YAG phase.
