This study was carried out to analyze the microstructure characteristics of electrolyte membrane through XRD, SEM and AC impedance measurement for using in high temperature steam electrolysis(HTE). It was investigated that thermal stability and electric characteristics by sintering condition using dry and wet process, and confirmed growth of particle and density change by sintering temperature. The sintering temperature and behavior had an effect on the relative density of the ceramic and the average grain size. The more amount of dispersant in organic compound increase, the more the density increased. But the binder was shown opposite phenomenon. It was analyzed that electrolyte resistance and electrical characteristics using AC impedance. The electrical properties of YSZ grain boundary changed with the sintering temperature.

As a basic study for cathode materials of {{{{ { {LiMn }_{2 }O }_{4 } }}-based lithium-ion secondary batteries Li({{{{ { { { {Mn }_{1-$\delta$ }Nb }_{$\delta$} )}_{2 }O }_{4 } }} ($\delta$=0.05, 0.1, 0.2) materials which Nb is substituted for Mn were synthesized by the solid state reaction at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 110$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The second phase {{{{ { LiNbO}_{3 } }} appeared above $\delta$=0.1 As the result of im-pedance analysis as the amount of substituted Nb increased the resistivity of grain boundary increased greatly. Compared to undoped-{{{{ { {LiMn }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} the electrical conductivity of Li({{{{ { { { {Mn }_{1-$\delta$ }Nb }_{$\delta$} )}_{2 }O }_{4 } }} decreased slightly but is charging capacity and potential plateau increased.

Polycrystalline transparent semiconducting zinc oxide film has been characterized for their electrical properties. The conductivity of the film could be increased by approximately five times of magnitude by annealing it in hydrogen at 400 C. The electrical properties measured on the temperature range of RT to 120 K give support well to the model which depicts the importance of the grain boundary effects on the electrical conduction of zinc oxide film.

Electrical conductivity, I - V and DLTS have been measured on polycrystalline samples of $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ containing small deviation from stoichiometry and small amounts of added titanium. DLTS (Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy) in the current transient mode has been applied to the measurement of the trap density at the grain boundary. Titanium enters the $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ lattice substitutionally as $Ti^{4+}$, thus producing an $Fe^{2+}$ and maintaining the average charge per cation at three. The $Fe^{2+}$acts as a donor center with respect to the surrounding $Fe^{3+}$ions.

Aluminum alloys, known for their high strength-to-weight ratios and impressive electrical and thermal conductivities, are extensively used in numerous engineering sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. Recently, significant efforts have been made to develop novel aluminum alloys specifically tailored for additive manufacturing. These new alloys aim to provide an optimal balance between mechanical properties and thermal/electrical conductivities. In this study, nine combinatorial samples with various alloy compositions were fabricated using direct energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing by adjusting the feeding speeds of Al6061 alloy and Al-12Si alloy powders. The effects of the alloying elements on the microstructure, electrical conductivity, and hardness were investigated. Generally, as the Si and Cu contents decreased, electrical conductivity increased and hardness decreased, exhibiting trade-off characteristics. However, electrical conductivity and hardness showed an optimal combination when the Si content was adjusted to below 4.5 wt%, which can sufficiently suppress the grain boundary segregation of the α-Si precipitates, and the Cu content was controlled to induce the formation of Al₂Cu precipitates.

Alumina/silver ($Al_2O_3/Ag$) nanocomposites with Ag content up to 9 vol% were prepared from nanopowder by soaking method using ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ of needle type and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The mechanical properties of specimens were investigated three-point flexural strength and toughness as a function of the Ag contents. The maximum flexural strength of the alumina/silver nanocomposite was 850 MPa for the 1 vol% composite, and also higher than monolith alumina as about 800 MPa at 3, 5, and 7 vol% Ag contents. Fracture toughness by single edged V-notch beam (SEVNB) was $4.05MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for the 3 vol% composite and maintained about $4.00MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ at 5, and 7 vol% Ag content. Microstructure of fracture surface for each fracture specimens was observed. Due to the inhibition effect of alumina grain growth, the average grain size of nanocomposites depends on the content of Ag nano particles. The fracture morphology of nanocomposite with dislocation (sub-grain boundary) by silver nano-particles of second phases in the alumina matrix also showed transgranular fracture-mode compare with intergranular of monolith alumina. Thermal conductivity of specimens at room temperature was about 40 W/mK for the 1 vol% Ag content.

7050 Al합금의 응력부식저항성에 미치는 2단 시효처리의 영향을 미세조직관찰, 전기전도도시험 및 SCF값을 평가함으로써 조사하였다. 최대 경도 이상 과시효에 의해 주 강화상인 η'상이 η상으로 변태되었고, 입내 및 입계에 존재하는 η상의 크기와 간격이 커졌으며 그 결과 응력부식저항성이 증대되었다. 2차 시효시간의 증가에 따라 전기전도도값은 증가되었으나 항복강도의 감소로 인하여 SCF값은 감소되었는데, 이러한 결과는 응력부식저항성의 증가를 의미한다. AMS 4107규격을 기준으로 하였을 때 7050 Al합금 단조재의 적정시효조건은 1차시효가 12$0^{\circ}C$에서 6시간, 2차시효는 $175^{\circ}C$에서 12시간이었다.

Sn을 도핑한 In$_2$O$_3$(ITO) 박막을 R.F. 마그네트론 반응성 스퍼터링법에 의해서 증착하였다. 동일한 마그네트론 스퍼터링 조건에서 증착위치에 따른 ITO 박막의 저항, 자유 전하 농도 및 이동도 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 동일한 마그네트론 스퍼터링 조건임에도 불구하고, ITO 박막의 전기적 특성은 증착위치에 따라 불균질성을 나타내었다. 타겟의 중심에 위치한 기판위에 증착된 ITO 박막의 저항은 최소 값인 2~4$\times$$10^{-4}$ $\Omega$.cm인 반면, 중심에서 멀어질수록 박막의 전기 저항은 대칭적으로 증가하였다. ITO 박막의 밀도 측정 결과도 중심에서 이론 밀도 값의 97%에 해당하는 7.0g/$cm^3$를 나타내나, 위치가 중심에서 멀어질수록 박막의 밀도가 대칭적으로 감소하였다. ITO 박막에서 이동도와 전도도는 밀도에 직접적으로 영향을 받는 것이 실험적으로 확인되었다. ITO 박막의 밀도가 7.0g/$cm^3$(이론 밀도의 97%)인 경우, 자유행정거리와 입자크기(=주상의 직경)가 동일한 값을 가지나, 밀도가 이 보다 감소하면 자유행정거리와 입자크기의 차이는 더욱 증가하였다. 이 결과는 ITO 박막의 밀도가 7.0g/$cm^3$인 경우는 입계가 자유 전자의 전도에 중요한 산란 원으로 작용하는 반면, 그 외의 경우는 결정 내의 공격자점, 공공, 기공 등이 다른 산란 원으로 작용하고 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

Alloy 617 is considered as a candidate Ni-based superalloy for the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) of a very high-temperature gas reactor (VHTR) because of its good creep strength and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. Helium is used as a coolant in a VHTR owing to its high thermal conductivity, inertness, and low neutron absorption. However, helium inevitably includes impurities that create an imbalance in the surface reactivity at the interface of the coolant and the exposed materials. As the Alloy 617 has been exposed to high temperatures at $950^{\circ}C$ in the impure helium environment of a VHTR, the degradation of material is accelerated and mechanical properties decreased. The high-temperature strength, creep, and corrosion properties of the structural material for an IHX are highly important to maintain the integrity in a harsh environment for a 60 year period. Therefore, an alloy superior to alloy 617 should be developed. In this study, the mechanical and high-temperature corrosion properties for Ni-Cr alloys fabricated in the laboratory were evaluated as a function of the grain boundary strengthening and alloying elements. The ductility increased and decreased by increasing the amount of Mo and Cr, respectively. Surface oxide was detached during the corrosion test, when Al was not added to alloy. However the alloy with Al showed improved oxide adhesive property without significant degradation and mechanical property. Aluminum seems to act as an anti-corrosive role in the Ni-based alloy.

Impedance spectroscopy allows for simultaneous characterization of interface-controlled materials and/or devices in terms of electrical and dielectric aspects. Recently, there have tremendous interests in 2-dimensional electron gas layers (2DEGs) involving $LaAlO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ whose features incorporates extremely high mobility and carrier concentrations along with metallic responses unlike the constituents, $LaAlO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$. Impedance spectroscopy offers the following unique features, such as simultaneous determination of conductivity and dielectric constants, identification of electrical origins among bulk-, grain boundary-, and electrode-based responses. Impedance spectroscopy was applied to the 2DEG $LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3$ system, in order to extract the electrical and dielectric information operating in the 2DEG system. The unique responses of the 2DEG system are investigated in terms of temperature and device structures. The underlying mechanism of the 2DEG system is proposed with the aim to optimizing the high-mobility 2DEG responses and to expedite the associated devices towards the high-density integrated chips.
