In this study, we have investigated the effects of Cr dopant on the bulk trap levels and grain boundary characteristics of $Bi_2O_3$-based ZnO (ZB) varistor using admittance spectroscopy and dielectric functions (such as $Z^*,\;Y^*,\;M^*,\;{\varepsilon}^*$, and $tan{\delta}$). Admittance spectra show more than two bulk traps of $Zn_i$ and $V_o$ probably in different ionization states in ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ (ZBCr) system. Three kinds of temperature-dependant activation energies ($E_{bt}'s$) were calculated as 0.11~0.14 eV of attractive coulombic center, 0.16~0.17 eV of $Zn_{\ddot{i}}$, and 0.33 eV of $V_o^{\cdot}$ as dominant bulk defects. The grain boundaries of ZBCr could be electrochemically divided into two types as a sensitive to ambient oxygen i.e. electrically active one and an oxygen-insensitive i.e. electrically inactive one. The grain boundaries were electrically single type under 460 K (equivalent circuit as parallel $R_{gb1}C_{gb1}$) but separated as double one ($R_{gb1}C_{gb1}-R_{gb2}C_{gb2}$) over 480 K. It is revealed that the dielectric functions are very useful tool to separate the overlapped bulk defect levels and to characterize the electrical properties of grain boundaries.

고온 프로톤전도체인 $Y_2O_3$가 도핑된 $SrZrO_3$에 대하여 전기전도도의 가스 분위기 및 온도 의존도를 impedance spectroscopy로 측정하였다. 수소의 용해는 산소가 공존할 때 더 큰 열역학적 추진력을 갖게 되어 결과적으로 수증기 형태로 결정 속으로 유입되며, 프로톤전도도는 ${P_w}^{1/2}$ (수증기분압)에 의존하여 증가하였다. 순수 수소 분위기에서의 수소의 용해반응 $H_2(g)=2H_{i}$ +2e'은 전자가 산소이온공공에 trapping됨에 따른 열역학적 활동도의 감소에 의해 반응의 추진력이 커지며 그 결과 저온에서는 아르곤 분위기에서 보다 높은 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 전기전도도의 활성화에너지는 $600~900^{\circ}C$ 온도범위의 아르곤분위기에서 50kJ/mo1로 문헌에 나타난 프로톤전도도의 그것과 비슷한 크기를 나타냈다. 프로톤전도도의 입계저항은 10% 도핑한 경우 $700^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 현저하게 나타났다.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia with erbia-lanthana were investigated with respect to the amount of Ln2O3 (Ln; Er, La) addition in the range of 0.5∼5 mol% to the base composition of 8 mol% yttriazirconia. Following analysis and measurement were adopted for the characterization of synthesizes of solid electrolyte; phase transformation, lattice parameter, crystallite size, relative density, chemical composition and SEM/EDS. Electrical conductivity by two-probe method versus temperature from 350$^{\circ}C$ to 800$^{\circ}C$ and frequency in the range of 5Hz∼13MHz by complex impedance method was also conducted together with the determination of oxygen ion transference number by EMF method for the evaluation of their electrical properties. The results were as followsing; Electrical conductivity were decreased with increase in Ln2O3 content, but their activation energies increased. In the case of La2O3 addition, espicially, its electrical conductivity was decreased owing to the segregation of second phases at the grain-boundary. Grain-boundary conductivity of the specimen contained 0.5 mol% Er2O3 exhibited a maximum conductivity among thecompositions experimented. However, their bulk conductivities decreased in both case. Oxygen ion transference number was also reduced with decrease in oxygen partial pressure. For example, in the case of Er2O3 addition it retained value in the range of 0.97∼0.94 abvove 4.74${\times}$10-2in oxygen partial pressure. With the increase in the quantities of the evaporation of additive components, the crystallite size of stabilized zirconia decreased, and their relative density also reduced owing to the formation of porosity in their matrices. In the case of La2O3 the sinterbility was improved in the limited amount of addition up to 0.5 mol%, in the same range of addition the strength of sintered bodies were improved perhaps owing to the precipitation of metastable tetragonal phase in the fully stabilized zirconia.

YBCO산화물초전도체의 고온변형 특성을 조사하기 위하여 $890^{\circ}C$ ~ $930^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 $1.0 x 10^{-5}s^{-1}\sim 1.0^{-4}s^{-1}$의초기변형속도로 압축시험을 수행하였다. 변형온도가 증가함에 따라 또한 초기변형속도가 감소함에 따라 flow stress는 감소하였다. 변형률속도 민감지수는 0.41-0.46이었다. 이는 초소성 변형이 일어났음을 보여준다. 초소성변형에 대한 활성화 에너지는 약 500 ~ 580KJ/mol이었으며 Ag첨가량이 증가할수록 활성화에너지는 감소하였다. 초소성변형된 시편들의 미세조직 관찰결과 변형중에 결정립 성장이 일어났으며 Ag양이 증가함에 따라 이러한 현상을 뚜렷하였다. 변형후 결정립 형태는 등축상을 유지하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼때, YBCO 초전도체의고온변형기구는 확산을 동반한 결정립계 미끄러짐으로써 그 비율은 전 변형량중 약 65%정도였다.

Lead-free compound $(Na_{0.5}Bi_{0.5})(Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25})O_3$ was prepared using conventional ceramic technique at $1070^{\circ}C$/4h in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of single-phase orthorhombic structure. Permittivity data showed low temperature coefficient of capacitance ($T_{CC}{\approx}5%$) up to $100^{\circ}C$. Complex impedance studies indicated the presence of grain boundary effect, non-Debye type dielectric relaxation and evidences of a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The ac conductivity data were used to evaluate the density of states at Fermi level and apparent activation energy of the compound.

Reaction diffusion and formation of $Ni_3Al$phase with $L1_2$ structure have been studied in temperature range of 1432K to 1573K using the diffusion couple of (Ni-40, 5at%Al)/(Ni-14, 1at%Al) and (Ni-49, 2at%Al)/ (Nickel). The layer growth of Ni$_{3}$Al pyhase in the annealed diffusion couple was measured by optical microscope and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The layer growth of $Ni_3Al$phase in diffusion zone obeyed the parabolic law without any indication of grain boundary effects. The layer growth of $Ni_3Al$phase in temperature range of 1423K to 1573K was mainly controlled by the volume diffusion mechanism. The rate of layer growth of $Ni_3Al$phase was found to be colsely related to the composition of intermetallic compound NiAl phase. The activation energy for layer growth of $Ni_3Al$phase was calculated to be 127kJ/mol.

Due to excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, austenitic stainless steel is widely used as the material for chemical plants. nuclear power plants, and food processing facilities. But, the zone affected by heat in the range of 400 to $800^{\circ}C$ during welding loses corrosion resistance and tensile strength since Cr-carbide precipitation like $Cr_{23}C_6$ forms at the grain boundary and thereby takes place the intergranular corrosion. In this study, AISI 304 stainless steel with the added Nb of 0.3 to 0.7 wt% was solutionized at $1050^{\circ}C$ and sensitized at $650^{\circ}C$. Specimen was welded by MIG. The phase and the microstructure of the specimens were examined by an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and a x-ray diffractometer. The corrosion characteristics of specimens were tested by electrolytic etching and by double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation method(EPR) in the mixed solution of 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ + 0.01M KSCN. The melting zone had dendritic structure constituted of austenitic phase and $\delta$-ferrite phase. Cr carbide at the matrix did not appear, as Nb content increased. At the grain boundaries of the heat affected zone, the precipitates decreased and the twins appeared. The hardness increased, as Nb content increased. The hardness was highest in the order of the heat affected zone>melted zone>matrix. According to EPR curve, as the Nb content decreased, the reactivation current density(Ir) and the activation current density(la) were highest in the order of the melted zone

(1) The flow data of f (stress) and ${\dot{s}$ (strain rate) for Fe and Ti alloys were plotted in the form of f vs. -ln ${\dot{s}$ by using the literature values. (2) The plot showed two distinct patterns A and B; Pattern A is a straight line with a negative slope, and Pattern B is a curve of concave upward. (3) According to Kim and Ree's generalized theory of plastic deformation, pattern A & B belong to Case 1 and 2, respectively; in Case 1, only one kind of flow units acts in the deformation, and in Case 2, two kinds flow units act, and stress is expressed by $f={X_1f_1}+{X_2f_2}$where $f_1\;and\;f_2$ are the stresses acting on the flow units of kind 1 and 2, respectively, and $X_1,\;X_2$ are the fractions of the surface area occupied by the two kinds of flow units; $f_j=(1/{\alpha}_j) sinh^{-1}\;{\beta}_j{{\dot{s}}\;(j=1\;or\;2)$, where $1/{\alpha}_j\;and\;{\beta}_j$ are proportional to the shear modulus and relaxation time, respectively. (4) We found that grain-boundary flow units only act in the deformation of Fe and Ti alloys whereas dislocation flow units do not show any appreciable contribution. (5) The deformations of Fe and Ti alloys belong generally to pattern A (Case 1) and B (Case 2), respectively. (6) By applying the equations, f=$(1/{\alpha}_{g1}) sinh^-1({\beta}_{g1}{\dot{s}}$) and $f=(X_{g1}/{\alpha}_{g1})sinh^{-1}({\beta}_{g1}{\dot{s}})+ (X_{g2}/{\alpha}_{g2})\;shih^{-1}({\beta}_{g2}{\dot{s}})$ to the flow data of Fe and Ti alloys, the parametric values of $x_{gj}/{\alpha}_{gj}\;and\;{\beta}_{gs}(j=1\;or\;2)$ were determined, here the subscript g signifies a grain-boundary flow unit. (7) From the values of ($({\beta}_gj)^{-1}$) at different temperatures, the activation enthalpy ${\Delta}H_{gj}^{\neq}$ of deformation due to flow unit gj was determined, ($({\beta}_gj)^{-1}$) being proportional to , the jumping frequency (the rate constant) of flow unit gj. The ${\Delta}H_{gj}\;^{\neq}$ agreed very well with ${\Delta}H_{gj}\;^{\neq}$ (self-diff) of the element j whose diffusion in the sample is a critical step for the deformation as proposed by Kim-Ree's theory (Refer to Tables 3 and 4). (8) The fact, ${\Delta}H_{gj}\;^{\neq}={\Delta}H_{j}\;^{\neq}$ (self-diff), justifies the Kim-Ree theory and their method for determining activation enthalpies for deformation. (9) A linear relation between ${\beta}^{-1}$ and carbon content [C] in hot-rolled steel was observed, i.e., In ${\beta}^{-1}$ = -50.2 [C] - 40.3. This equation explains very well the experimental facts observed with regard to the deformation of hot-rolled steel..

The migration of silver (Ag) in silicon carbide (SiC) and $^{110m}Ag$ through SiC of irradiated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel has been studied for the past three to four decades. However, there is no satisfactory explanation for the transport mechanism of Ag in SiC. In this work, the diffusion coefficients of Ag measured and/or estimated in previous studies were reviewed, and then pre-exponential factors and activation energies from the previous experiments were evaluated using Arrhenius equation. The activation energy is $247.4kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag paste experiments between two SiC layers produced using fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (FBCVD), $125.3kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from integral release experiments (annealing of irradiated TRISO fuel), $121.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from fractional Ag release during irradiation of TRISO fuel in high flux reactor (HFR), and $274.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag ion implantation experiments, respectively. The activation energy from ion implantation experiments is greater than that from Ag paste, fractional release and integral release, and the activation energy from Ag paste experiments is approximately two times greater than that from integral release experiments and fractional Ag release during the irradiation of TRISO fuel in HFR. The pre-exponential factors are also very different depending on the experimental methods and estimation. From a comparison of the pre-exponential factors and activation energies, it can be analogized that the diffusion mechanism of Ag using ion implantation experiment is different from other experiments, such as a Ag paste experiment, integral release experiments, and heating experiments after irradiating TRISO fuel in HFR. However, the results of this work do not support the long held assumption that Ag release from FBCVD-SiC, used for the coating layer in TRISO fuel, is dominated by grain boundary diffusion. In order to understand in detail the transport mechanism of Ag through the coating layer, FBCVD-SiC in TRISO fuel, a microstructural change caused by neutron irradiation during operation has to be fully considered.
