Effects of $SiO_x$ or C shells on electrochemical properties of Si nanoparticles were investigated. $SiO_x$ shells with thickness of 10~15 nm were formed on homogeneously crystalline Si nanoparticles. Incase of Si-C nanoparticles, there were 30~40 layers of C with a number of defects. Li-ion batteries were fabricated with the above-mentioned nanoparticles, and their electrochemical properties were measured. Pristine Si shows a high IRC (initial reversible capacity) of 2,517 mAh/g and ICE (initial columbic efficiency) of 87%, but low capacity retention of 22%, respectively. $SiO_x$ shells decreased IRC (1,534 mAh/g) and ICE (54%), while the retention increased up to 65%, which can be explained by irreversible phases such as $LiO_2$ and $Li_2SiO_3$. C shells exhibited no differences in IRC and ICE compared to the pristine Si but an enhanced retention of 54%, which might be from proper defect structures.

$LiGaO_2$ films have been grown on Si (100) substrates using a new single precursor $[Li(OCH_2CH_2OCH_3)_2-Ga(CH_3)_2]_2$ under high vacuum conditions $(5{\times}10^{-6}Torr)$. The $[Li(OCH_2CH_2OCH_3)_2Ga(CH_3)_2]_2$ was synthe-sized and characterized by using spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The chemical composition, crystalline structure, and morphology of the deposited films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that polycrystalline $LiGaO_2$ films preferentially oriented in the [010] direction can be deposited on Si (100) at 500-550$^{\circ}C$ by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The single precursor $[LiOCH_2CH_2OCH_3)_2-Ga(CH_3)_2]_2$ has been found suitable for chemical vapor deposition of $LiGaO_2$ thin films on Si substrates.

The characteristics of proton-diffused $LiNbO_3$ optical waveguides with self-aligned $SiO_2$-cladding are reported. When the proton diffusion occurs, the $SiO_2$-cladding limits the lateral diffusion of protons by out-diffusion of protons in unclad region. Proton indiffusion in depth direction is promoted by inhibition of out-diffusion in clad region. Consequently, the mode profile in depth direction can be nealy symmetric. The extent of the proton exchange was observed by measuring the infrared absorption peak at about $3500cm^{-1}$. It is confirmed that proton diffusion with $SiO_2$-cladding has structural excellency.

Glass-ceramic monoliths with an ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient have been synthesized by the sol-gel technique using metal alkoxides as starting materials and dimethyl formamide as a drying control chemical additive. The ternary gels: $Li_2O\cdot Al_2O_3\cdot 2, 4 or $6SiO_2$ were obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions of metal alkoxides of silicon, aluminum and lithium. To produce cylindrical crack-free gel monoliths, excess water was used to the starting solutions and drying rates were controlled precisely to prevent cracking. In conversion process ,${\beta}$-eucryptite, $Li_2O\cdot Al_2O_3\cdot 3SiO_2$ and P-spodumene with ,${\beta}$-quartz solid solution phase were obtained by heating at the range of 750 ~$1000^{\circ}C$. Above $800^{\circ}C$, the ,${\beta}$-spodumene phase increased while ,${\beta}$-eucryptite phase decreased. The thermal expansion coefficient of the crystallized specimens were -15~ $+5{\times}{10^{-7}}/{\circ}C$ over the temperature range from room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$.

$LiGd_9(SiO_4)_6O_2:Ce^{3+}$ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The structural characteristic was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The emission and excitation spectra of the $Ce^{3+}$ ions doped $LiGd_9(SiO_4)_6O_2$ phosphors were obtained under the UV excitation. The emission spectra of $LiGd_9(SiO_4)_6O_2:Ce^{3+}$ shows the band at 410 nm corresponding to the $^2F_{5/2}$ and $^2F_{7/2}$ states of $Ce^{3+}$. The red shift of $Ce^{3+}$ emission is found as the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration increases, which could be explained by the change in crystal-field symmetry and strength with increasing $Ce^{3+}$ concentration. Fluorescence decay time of $Ce^{3+}$ was about 20 ns. When the concentration of $Ce^{3+}$ increases life time was slightly reduced.

Metal ferroelectric semiconductor Field Effect- Transistors(MFSFET) with various gate electrodes, that are aluminum, platinum and poly -Si, using LiNbO$_3$/Si(100) structures were fabricated and the properties of the FETs have been discussed. The drain current of the state of FET with Pt electrode was more than 3 orders of magnitude larger than the state current at the same gate voltage of 1.5 V, 7.rich means the memory operation of the MFSFET. A write voltage as low as about $\pm$4 V, which is applicable to low power integrated circuits, was used for polarization reversal. The retention properties of the FET using Al electrode were quite good up to about 10$^3$s and using Pt electrode remained almost the same value of its initial value over 2 days at room temperature.

The effect of heat-treatment on catalytic crystallization in $LI_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system over its glass transition temperature was investigated. Glass composition $4Li_2O{cdot}22AL_2O_3{cdot}66SiO_2{cdot}2TiO_2{cdot}2.5ZrO_2{cdot}1.5P_2O_5{cdot}1.0Na_2O{cdot}1.0As_2O_3$ (wt%) was selected and heat-treated at different heating conditions to obtain transparent glass-ceramic. Nucleation and crystallization behaviour of this composition were estimated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and its thermal expansion coefficients were measured by Dilatometer. As a result, glass transition temperature was $730^{\circ}C$ and two maximum nucleation temperatures were estimated at $730^{\circ}C$ and 82$0^{\circ}C$ using JMA(Johson-Mehl-Avrami) equation by DTA. $ZrTiO_4$ $\beta$-Quartz solid solution and $\beta$-Spodumene crystals were identified by XRD. The optimum crystallization temperature was 92$0^{\circ}C$ and three step heating schedule was expected to be useful to obtain transparent glass-ceramic.

The study was aimed at investigating sintering characteristics, the overall properties from the ternary Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 system. This system, which was considered without additives and selected five compositions, was studied with variation of the amount of SiO2. The reactivity of the system was observed by D.T.A.. Characteristics of sintering, microstructure, property and stability of produced phase were studied. It was found that because the range of sintering was narrow and the temperature of sintering was close to the melting temperature, the sintering by the general method was difficult. Also, these linear thermal expansion coeffecients were measured.
