Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor(MFTS) devices by using rapid thermal annealed (RTA) LiNbO$_3$/AIN/Si(100) structures were successfully fabricated and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with high dielectric AIN thin films showed no hysteresis and good interface properties. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteristics was about 8. The C-V characteristics of MFIS capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 23. The memory window width was about 1.2 V at the gate voltage of $\pm$5 V ranges. Typical gate leakage current density of the MFIS structure was the order of 10$^{-9}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the range of within $\pm$500 kV/cm. The ferroelectric capacitors showed no polarization degradation up to about 10$^{11}$ switching cycles when subjected to symmetric bipolar voltage pulse(peak-to-peak 8 V, 50 % duty cycle) in the 500 kHz.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensors utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and dipole patch antenna. The operation and design were proved by the BPM simulation. A dc switching voltage of ~16.6 V and an extinction ratio of ~14.7 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf power, the minimum detectable electric-fields are ~1.12 V/m and ~3.3 V/m corresponding to a dynamic range of about ~22 dB and ~18 dB at frequencies 10 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for the applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

The $LiNbO_3$ thin films were prepared directly on Si(100) substrates by conventional RF magnetron spurttering system for nonvolatile memory applications. RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) treatment was performed for as-deposited films in an oxygen atmosphere at 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. The rapid thermal annealed films were changed to poly-crystalline ferroelectric nature from amorphous of as-deposition. The resistivity of the ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ film was increased from a typical value of $1{\sim}2{\times}10^8{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about $1{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at 500 kV/cm and reduced the interface state density of the $LiNbO_3/Si$ (100) interface to about $1{\times}10^{11}/cm^2{\cdot}eV$. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a Sawyer-Tower circuit yielded remanent polarization ($P_r$) and coercive field ($E_c$) values of about 1.2 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

$LiCoO_2$ powder was synthesized in an aqueous solution by a sol-gel method and used as a cathode active material for a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The layered $LiCoO_2$ powders were prepared by igniting in air for 12 hrs at 600 ℃ $(600-LiCoO_2)$ and 850 ℃ $(850-LiCoO_2)$. The structure of the $LiCoO_2$ powder was assigned to the space group R bar 3 m (lattice parameters a=2.814 Å and c=14.04Å). The SEM pictures of $600-LiCoO_2$ revealed homogeneous and fine particles of about 1 μm in diameter. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode displayed a set of redox peaks at 3.80/4.05 V due to the intercalation/deintercalation of the lithium ions into/out of the $LiCoO_2$ structure. CVs for the $850-LiCoO_2$ electrode had a major set of redox peaks at 3.88/4.13 V, and two small set of redox peaks at 4.18/4.42 V and 4.05/4.25 V due to phase transitions. The initial charge-discharge capacity was 156-132 mAh/g for the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode and 158-131 mAh/g for the $850-LiCoO_2$ electrode at the current density of 0.2 mA/cm2. The cycleability of the cell consisting of the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode was better than that of the $850-LiCoO_2$. The diffusion coefficient of the $Li^+$ ion in the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode was calculated as $4.6{\times}10^{-8}\; cm^2/sec$.

The propose of this study is research and improvement of LiNiO$_2$as cathode material for Lithium secondary batteries. LiNiO$_2$is prepared by heating LiOH . $H_2O$ and Ni(OH)$_2$(mole ratio 1 : 1) on various heat condition. In the result of XRD mesurement, all LiNiO$_2$prepared at this study showed hexagonal structure. In Cyclic Voltammetry, LiNiO$_2$is not conspicous about oxidation peak but oxidation curve change steeply over 3.8V and reduction peak discover at 3.6V. In discharge capacities, specific capacity is higher $O_2$than air when preliminary heated and 75$0^{\circ}C$ than $700^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$ when heated. Therefore, when preliminary heat at $650^{\circ}C$ $O_2$and heat at 75$0^{\circ}C$ carried out, discharge property is the best.

Specific structural properties of Li intercalation reaction into the spinel relatedmanganese dioxide, $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}(0.2{\leq}x{\leq}2.0)$, are investigated by X-ray diffractional and electrochemical studies of Li/1M $LiClO_{4}$-propylene carbonate solution/$Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ cell. The effect of the chemical composition and the reaction temperature on electrochemical parameter of $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ are studied by the phenomena of phase-transition, analysis of crystal lattice, fine structure, and thermal analysis. Treatment of the spinel $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ with aqueous acid was found to result in conversiton of $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ to nearly pure $MnO_{2}$, as evidenced by a reduction in the lattice constant $a_{c}$ from 8.255 to $8.031\;{\AA}$. At a composition range of $0.2{\leq}x{\leq}0.6$ in $Li_{x}Mn_{2}O_{4}$ the reduction proceeded in a homogeneous phase, which was characterized by a constant voltage of 3.9~3.7 V together with a lattice constant of $8.255\;{\AA}$.

Dielectric heating materials were prepared through the thermal treatment for composites of Li and Zn type precursors that are major materials being responded to microwave under diversified conditions. The prepared heating material samples were analyzed by SEM and it was confirmed that $Li_5Fe_5O_8$ materials being formed on the surface was a major influencing factor for the heating performance. Heating materials improved the moisture removal in a sludge drying facility, for example, the moisture content of 25 v/v% sludge decreased to 15.22 v/v%. Accordingly, heating materials were confirmed to directly affect the performance and efficiency of the microwave drying process.

Electrical characteristics of LiF-$Li_{2}O-B_{2}O_{3}-P_{2}O_5$ glasses with fixed $Li_2O$ content have been investigated by using AC impedance spectroscopy. Part of the total lithium ions present in these glasses contributes to conduction, and the changes in electrical conductivity with composition was inconsistent with the weak electrolyte model. The power law could not be used to determine the hopping ion concentration in these glasses. Both mobile carrier density and mobility have been modified as Li were added in the form of LiF. The formation of $(B-O-P)^-,di^-$, and metaborate group gave additional available sites for Li+ diffusion causing the enhancement of conductivity. The observed maximum conductivity was $2.43 \times 10^{-4}$S/cm at $150^{\circ}C$ at the composition containing 8mol% LiF. The decomposion potential amounted to 5.94V. The Li/glass electrolyte/$TiS_2$ solid-state cell showed open circuit voltage of 3.14V and energy density of 22 Wh/Kg at $150^{\circ}C$.
