For LiMn2O4 based spinel structures the stoichiometric reaction conditions need be considered carefully because the electrical properties depend on the structural stability. In order to obtain the homogeneous compound the Pechini process was chosen which could obtain a stoichiometry phase even low temperature and dependency of the synthetic condition on structural stability and electrochemical performance was investigated. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the compounds doped with transition metal have smaller lattice constants than those un doped. The dc conductivity was evaluated by a four probe method in the low and high temperature region respectively. The variations of basal spacings for the cathode were detected to be dependent on the extent of current flows (under dc)

Optical and electrical properties of the $In_2Se_3$ single crystals grown by use of the Bridgman technique were examined in the transition temperature range between $\alpha$-phase and $\beta$-phase. $In_2Se_3$ single crystal has the rhombohedral structure and lattice constants are a=4.025 $\AA$, c=28.771 $\AA$ in C-axis. The transition temperatures of the stoichiometric $In_2Se_3$ single crystal is $10^{-2}{\Omega}cm^{-1}$ according to the specimens. However it varies rapidly in the transition region.

We have used acetic acids ethanol and distilled water as a solvent to synthesize $La_{2/3}Sr_{1/3}Mn_{0.99}{^{57}}Fe_{0.01}O_3$(LSMFO) precursor. Crack-free LSMFO granular polycrystalline thin films have been deposited on thermally oxidized silicon substrates by spin coaling. The dependence of crystallization, surface morphology, magnetic and transport properties on annealing temperature was investigated. With increasing annealing temperature, the metal-semiconductor (insulator) transition temperature and the magnetic moment decrease while the resistivity increases. The lattice constants remain almost unchanged. For LSMFO thin films, spin-dependent interfacial tunneling and/or scattering magnetoresistance were observed. Our results indicate that the annealing temperature is very important in determining the intrinsic and extrinsic magnetotransport properties.

3-D photonic band-gap structures are fabricated from dielectric colloidal polystyrene beads through a centrifuge method. The fabricated photonic crystals exhibit opalescent colors under white light and show a clear diffraction peak dependent on the incident angle of the light beam. Also the scanning electron microscope image was taken to verify the face-centered cubic crystal structure. Bragg's law and Snell's law are employed to describe the position of angle resolved diffraction peaks. It was shown that the optically deduced effective refractive index and lattice constants were in good agreement with the crystal structure identified by scanning electron microscope.

Undoped, cobalt-doped and erbium-doped $ZnAl_2S_4, ;ZnAl_2Se_4, ;CdAl_2S_4, ;and;CdAl_2Se_4$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The crystal structures, the lattice constants, the optical energy gaps, and the photoluminescence properties of these single crystals were investigated. Also, the optical transition mechanisms by the impurities of cobalt and erbium were identified from these results.

In order to study the relation between expansion of the specimen and the hydrogen absorption rate, thin palladium plates with cold rolling were used. Thin palladium plates were hydrogenated in the 0.1mol $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte by electrochemical method. The expansion behavior on hydrogen absorbing can be obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis and by micrometer measurement It is noted that the expansion rate of Palladium specimens in thickness direction is larger than in length and width direction. The lattice constants increase quickly with increasing hydrogen absorbing rate up to 0.5, but above the rate they keep constant. Also the clues for plastic deformation, such as slip lines and voids, were observed in abundantly even though the plates were hydrogenated once.

Electrical properties of the $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystals grown by use of the Bridgman technique were examined in the transition temperature range between $\alpha$-phase and $\beta$-phase. $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal has ' the rhombohedral structure and lattice constants are a=4.025 $\AA$, c=28.771 $\AA$ in c-axis. The transition temperatures of the stoichiometric $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal is 198.8$^{\circ}C$ according to the specimens. The temperature of $\alpha$longrightarrow$\beta$ phase transition decreased but the temperature of $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transition increased as the number of heating-cooling cycle increased.

Nd-doped $BiFeO_3$ materials were synthesized via a sol-gel method. The crystal structure, magnetic properties, and complex impedance spectroscopy of multiferroic $Bi_{1-x}Nd_xFeO_3$ (BNFO) materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and complex impedance spectroscopy. Our results show that the lattice crystal constants (a, c) and the ratio c/a of BNFO materials decreased with increasing Nd concentration. All samples exhibited weak ferromagnetism at room temperature, and the magnetization of samples was enhanced by the presence of $Nd^{3+}$ ions. There was an enhancement in the spontaneous magnetization of BFO with increasing Nd concentration, which is attributable to the collapse of the spin cycloid structure.

The Mn-substituted M-type Ba-ferrite ($BaFe_{12-x}Mn_xO_{19}$; x = 0, 2, 4, 6) powders were prepared by the HTTD (High Temperature Thermal Decomposition) method. The effect of $Mn^{3+}$ Jahn-Teller ions on the magnetic properties has been studied by x-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. With increasing Mn substitution, the lattice parameter $a_0$ increases while $c_0$ decreases. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants ($K_1$) were determined as 2.9, 2.2, 1.8, and, $1.3{\times}10^6\;erg/cm^3$ for x = 0, 2, 4, and 6, respectively, by the LAS method. We have studied the change of cation distribution by $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy which is closely related to $K_1$.

The author assumes that pure liquid metal is composed of molecular oscillators whose energy states are classified into two subgroups, i.e., A and B states, each being accesible to either one of the two sorts of lattice sites. The partition function involves constants characteristic of substance, which are obtainable from the Debye characteristic temperature assigned to its solid state. Calculation has been made for the various thermodynamic properties such as the vapor pressure, the entropy, and the heat capacity of liquid metals of GroupⅠelements over the temperature range from the melting points to the boiling points. The theoretical values thus obtained are in good accordances with those observed, within experimental error, although a slight derivation is observed in the atomic heat capacity.
