In this study, we investigated the effects of Mn dopant (0.1~3.0 at% $Mn_3O_4$ sintered at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air) on the bulk trap (i.e. defect) and grain boundary properties of ZnO, ZM(0.1~3.0) using admittance spectroscopy (AS), and impedance-modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS). As a result, three kinds of defect were found below the conduction band edge of ZnO as 0.09~0.14 eV (attractive coulombic center), 0.22~25 eV ($Zn^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}_i$), and 0.32~0.33 eV ($V^{\cdot}_o$). The oxygen vacancy increased with Mn doping. In ZM, an electrically single grain boundary as double Schottky barrier was formed with 0.82~1.0 eV of activation energies by IS & MS. We also find out that the barriers of grain boundary of Mn-doped ZnO (${\alpha}$-factor=0.13) were more stabilized and homogenized with temperature compared to pure ZnO.

Pulsed laser deposition(PLD) 박막 증착법을 이용하여 hexagonal $HoMn_{1-x}-Fe_xO_3$(x=0.0, 0.05) 물질을 박막으로 $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 증착하였다. 또한 x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), 및 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 통하여 박막의 결정학적 및 미세 구조를 분석하였고, conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy(CEMS)를 이용하여 자기적 특성에 관해 연구하였다. 결정구조는 hexagonal 구조로써 space group이 $P6_3cm$로 분석되었고, single crystal과는 달리 (110) 방향으로 우선 배향성을 가지고 증착되었다. $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 박막의 경우 single crystal과 비교했을 때 hexagonal unit cell의 $c_0$ 축은 일정하나 $a_0$ 축은 다소 감소함으로 분석되었다. 이는 박막 증착에 사용된 $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ 기판과의 lattice mismatch 때문으로 해석된다. Fe가 미량 치환된 $HoMn_{0.95}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 박막을 상온에서 CEMS 측정을 수행한 결과, $HoMn_{0.95}^{57}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ 분말의 경우 magnetic $T_N$이 72K 부근이므로, 상온에서 doublet absorption spectrum이 관측되었고, 전기사중극자 분열값(quadrupole splitting; ${\Delta}E_Q$)이 $1.62{\pm}0.01mm/s$로 비교적 큰 값을 가짐을 확인하였다.

The Mn4+-activated Li2ZnSn2O6 (LZSO:Mn4+) red phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction at temperatures of 1100-1400 ℃ in air. The synthesized LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors were confirmed to have a single hexagonal LZSO phase without the presence of any secondary phase formed by the Mn4+ addition. With near UV and blue excitation, the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors exhibited a double band deep-red emission peaked at ~658 nm and ~673 nm due to the 2E → 4A2 transition of Mn4+ ion. PL emission intensity showed a strong dependence on the Mn4+ doping concentration and the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor produced the strongest PL emission intensity. Photoluminescence emission intensity was also found to be dependent on the calcination temperature and the optimal calcination temperature for the LZSO:Mn4+ phosphors was determined to be 1200 ℃. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis revealed that the 0.3 mol% Mn4+-doped LZSO phosphor particles have an irregularly round shape and an average particle size of ~1.46 ㎛.

$LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$ (x = 0, 0.1, 1/6, 1.2, 0.3) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement. $LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$ samples give single phases of hexagonal layered structures with a space group of R-3m for x = 0.1, 1/6, 0.2, and 0.3. The lattice constants of a and c-axis were decreased with the increase in Co contents in samples. The thickness of MO2 slab was decreased and inter-slab distance was increased with the increase in Co contents in $LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$. According to XPS analysis, the valence states of Mn, Co, and Ni in the sample are mainly +4, +3, and +3, respectively. The discharge capacity of 202 mAh/g at 0.1C-rate in the potential range of 4.7 - 3.0 V was obtained in $LiNi_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ sample, and $LiNi_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.4}O_2$ gives excellent cycle performance in the same potential range.

In order to investigate the effect of Mn on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PMN-PT [$Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$], four different types of 71PMN-29PT samples were prepared using the solid-state single crystal growth (SSCG) method: (1) Undoped single crystals, (2) undoped polycrystalline ceramics, (3) Mn-doped single crystals, and (4) Mn-doped polycrystalline ceramics. In the case of single crystals, the addition of 0.5 mol% Mn to PMN-PT decreased the dielectric constant ($K_3{^T}$), piezoelectric charge constant ($d_{33}$), and dielectric loss (tan ${\delta}$) by about 50%, but increased the coercive electric field ($E_C$) by 50% and the electromechanical quality factor ($Q_m$) by 500%, respectively. The addition of Mn to PMN-PT induced an internal bias electric field ($E_I$) and thus specimens changed from piezoelectrically soft-type to piezoelectrically hard-type. This Mn effect was more significant in single crystals than in ceramics. These results demonstrate that Mn-doped 71PMN-29PT single crystals, because they are piezoelectrically hard and simultaneously have high piezoelectric and electromechanical properties, have great potential for application in fields of SONAR transducers, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and ultrasonic motors.

Fine $La_{2/3}Ca_{1/3}MnO_3$ nanocrystalline powders have been successfully prepared by modified citrate pyrolysis process. The obtained LCMO nanoscale grains have a mean particle size of about 30 nm under optimal treatment conditions. The particle size can be controlled by adjusting processing parameters, such as treatment temperature and calcination time. X-ray diffraction, SEM and magnetoresistance effect were employed to study the crystal structure, morphology and magnetic property of these nanosized powders. A novel MR effect (MR > 45% (0 K < T < 340 K)) at room temperature has been found.

바이오매스 가스화 시 발생하는 타르의 개질 연구가 다양한 Ni 촉매를 이용하여 수행되었다. 바이오매스 타르의 주요 성분인 톨루엔을 이용하여 실험실 규모의 수증기개질을 수행하였다. 고정층 형태의 개질기를 이용하였고 반응온도 범위는 400-800 ℃로 변화시켰다. Ni 촉매에 증진제로 Ru (0.6 wt%)와 Mn 또는 K (1 wt%)를 적용하였다. Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 촉매가 Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ 촉매보다 전반적으로 높은 톨루엔 개질 전환 성능을 보였으며, X-선 회절분석과 열중량분석을 통해 촉매의 안정성을 확인하였다. 실험실 규모 연구 결과를 바탕으로 모노리스와 펠렛 형태의 촉매를 제작하고 1 톤/일 규모의 바이오매스 가스화 시스템에 적용하였다. 모노리스 촉매의 경우 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 촉매가 고온에서 특히 우수한 성능을 보였으며, Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ 촉매는 운전 시간 경과에 의한 활성저하가 관찰되었다. 펠렛 촉매의 경우 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 는 587 ℃에서 66.7%의 타르 전환율을 보였으며, 사용된 촉매의 재생 후 타르 개질 성능을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 촉매 중 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 펠렛 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 활성과 안정성을 보였다.

This study introduces a new investigation report on the microstructural and electrical property changes of $ZnO-Zn_2BiVO_6-Mn_3O_4$ (ZZMn), where 0.33 mol% of $Mn_3O_4$ and 0.5 mol% of $Zn_2BiVO_6$ were added to ZnO (99.17 mol%) as liquid phase sintering aids. $Zn_2BiVO_6$ contributes to the decrease of sintering temperatures by up to $800^{\circ}C$, and segregates its particles at the grain boundary, while $Mn_3O_4$ enhances ${\alpha}$, the nonlinear coefficient, of varistor properties up to ${\alpha}=62$. In comparison, when the sintering temperature is increased from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1,000^{\circ}C$, the resistivity of ZnO grains decreases from $0.34{\Omega}cm$ to $0.16{\Omega}cm$, and the varistor property degrades. Oxygen vacancy ($V_o^{\bullet}$) (P1, 0.33~0.36 eV) is formed as a dominant defect. Two different kinds of grain boundary activation energies of P2 (0.51~0.70 eV) and P3 (0.70~0.93 eV) are formed according to different sintering temperatures, which are tentatively attributed to be $ZnO/Zn_2BiVO_6$-rich interface and ZnO/ZnO interface, respectively. Accordingly, this study introduces a progressive method of manufacturing ZnO chip varistors by way of sintering ZZMn-based varistor under $900^{\circ}C$. However, to procure a higher reliability, an in-depth study on the multi-component varistors with double-layer grain boundaries should be executed.

In this study, $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode material and LiPON solid electrolyte were manufactured into thin films, and the possibility of their use in thin-film batteries was researched. When the RTP treatment was performed after $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin-film deposition on the SUS substrate by a sputtering method, a ${\beta}-Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin film was successfully manufactured. The LiPON solid electrolyte was prepared by a reactive sputtering method using a $Li_3PO_4$ target and $N_2$ gas, and a homogeneous and flat thin film was deposited on a $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin film. In order to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin films, coin cells using only a liquid electrolyte were prepared and the charge/discharge test was conducted. As a result, the amorphous thin film of RTP treated at $600^{\circ}C$ showed the highest initial discharge capacity of about $60{\mu}Ah/cm^2$. In cases of coin cells using liquid/solid double electrolyte, the discharge capacities of the $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin films were comparable to those without solid LiPON electrolyte. It was revealed that $Li_2MnSiO_4$ cathode thin films with LiPON solid electrolyte were applicable in thin film batteries.
