Using the Micro-Pulling Down (${\mu}$-PD), $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ co-doped crack-free stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals were grown in 1.0 mm diameter and 25-30 mm length for c-axis. The homogeneous distributions of $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ concentration were confirmed by the Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). Also, the infrared OH absorption band of the single crystals observed by using a Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR) at room temperature and the photoluminescence spectra was measured with respect to the $MnO_2$ and $Tb_4O_7$ doping.

In this study, the formation of mullite phase with mineralizer have been investiagated Hadong Kaolin and boehmite were used as starting materials and also of TiCl4 and MnCl4 aquous solution were used as a mineralizer. In the addition of 3.5% MnO as a mineralizer, mullite single phase could be obtained at 125$0^{\circ}C$ without any other second phases. However in the addition of TiO2 as a mineralizer, mullite single phase is obtained at above 135$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore the formation of mullite is lowered in the case of MnO as a mineralizer than of TiO2. Because it is easy to obtain mullite single phase in the case of MnO addition, all the characteristics improved. The values of bulk density, water absorption and bending strength at room temperature were 2.72g/㎤, 0.27% and 180 MPa, respectively.

고주파 저손실 재질로 사용되고 있는 Mn-Zn 페라이트의 제조공정 중 소결조건과 Ta2O5첨가가 Mn-Zn 페라이트의전력손실에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. 등조성선을 따라 냉각하기 위하여 컴퓨터를 사용해서 정확하게 산소분압을 조절하였으며 적절한 등조성선을 선택함으로써 보다 좋은 손실특성을 얻을 수 있었다. CaO-SiO2 첨가계에 Ta2O5를 0ppm에서 400ppm으로 변화시켜 가며 첨가하였으며, Ta2O5 가 400ppm 첨가되었을 경우 균일한 grain 성장과 더불어 낮은 전력손실을 나타내었다. 온도에 상응하는 상평형 산소분압을 정확히 맞춰 냉각할 경우 전력손실 최소값이 질소 분위기에서 냉각시킨 시편보다 높은 온도쪽으로 이동됨도 확인할 수 있었다.

TiO$_2$의 첨가가 Mn-Zn ferrites의 전자기적 물성에 미치는 효과에 대해 연구하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 밀도와 전기비저항이 증가된 반면 초기투자율은 감소하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가에 따라 Fe$^{2+}$ ion의 증가에 기인하여 전력손실의 최소 값을 나타내는 온도가 저온으로 이동하였다. TiO$_2$를 0.12wt% 첨가한 시편의 경우, 100 kHz, 200 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$ 측정 조건에서는 소결온도가 증가함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 125$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 340 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 500 kHz, 50 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$의 측정 조건에서는 소결 온도가 감소함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 115$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 105 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 전력손실 값이 관찰되었다.

Piezoceramic filters were fabricated by adding $MnO_2 and FeZ0_3$ to the $0.05Pb(Al_{2/3}W_{1/3})O_3-0.95Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti0.48)O_3$ system using photolithography method. As the amounts of $MnO_2$ increased, the electro-mechanical coupling factor(Kp) decresed. On the other hand, for $Fe_2O_3$ added samples, Kp was 57%, but mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed relatively low value. The passband widths were 155kHz for 0.3wt % $MnO_2$ addition and 260kHz for 0.1 wt % $Fe_2O_3$ addition, and were inversely propotional to Qm values. Group delay time characteristics showed Gausian for $MnO_2$ additions and Butterworth for$Fe_2O_3$ additions.

The effect of$ZrO_2$addition on the microstructure and electrical properties of Ni-Mn oxide NTC thermistors was studied. Major phases present in the sintered bodies of $Ni_{1.0}Mn_{2-x}Zr_xO_4$ were the solid solutions of Ni-Mn-Zr oxides with a cubic spinel structure and the $ZrO_2$ with a tetragonal structure. The $ZrO_2$ was formed by the partial decomposition or incomplete formation of the Ni-Mn-Zr oxides during sintering. With increasing the amount of added $ZrO_2$, the $ZrO_2$ phase increased. The relationship between log resistivity (log p) and the reciprocal of absolute temperature (1/T) of the NTC thermistors prepared was linear, indicative of NTC characteristics. The resistivity, B constant and activation energy of the thermistors increased with increasing $ZrO_2$ content.

The trap levels of ZnO-based varistor are obtained by Isothermal Capacitance Transient Spectroscopy method. Here ICTS measuring system consists of YHP 4192A Impedance Analyzer and a personal computer for the data acquisition. Between $-40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, the grain boundary trap levels of 0.48 and 0.94eV were detected for $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-MnO$ system. The hole omission spectra are observed in the case of the addition of CoO into the $ZnO-Bi_2O_3$ system, while the electron emission spectra are detected in the case of the addition of MnO. The nonlinear resistance coefficient $\alpha$ increases with the decrease of the dormer concentration. Finally, the trap level density of $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-MnO$ system is found to decrease with the amount of CoO, while $\alpha$ is found to increase with the amount of CoO.

It is well known that the addition of CaO-SiO$_2$to Mn-Zn ferrites forms an insulating grain bounary layer with high electrical resistivity. This study investigated the effect of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ on the electromagnetic properties of high frequency low loss Mn-Zn ferrites. The addition of 300ppm Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ developed an exaggerated grain growth while the addition of CaO-SiO$_2$addition with 200ppm Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ more effectively increased the density than that without Nb$_2$O$_{5}$. The addition of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ showed the lower power loss below 100 ppm SiO$_2$and the Nb$_2$O$_{5}$-CaO addition lowered the power loss at higher sintering temperature.

Electrical, mechanical and sinterability properties of yttria-stabilized zirconia doped with 5.35wt% $Y_2$O$_3$(Y$_2$O$_3$- containing stabilized zirconia : YSZ) were studied as a function of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ addition. The ratio of monoclinic phase to tetragonal phase was changed by the addition of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ to 8.00 wt% and sintered density decreased with increasing $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ addition. Fracture toughness increased with the increase of monoclinic to tetragonal phase ratio and was maximum at about 18%. When transition metals such as CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ or MnO$_2$ was added more than 1.5 wt%, the electrical conductivity of YSZ increased. But $Al_2$O$_3$ hardly affected the electrical conductivity of YSZ. The addition of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ into YSZ resulted in the more complex behavior of fracture toughness and hardness variation and the specimen with 1.5wt%-Fe$_2$O$_3$, 3.0wt%-Al$_2$O$_3$ and 1.5wt%-CoO showed the monoclinic to tetragonal phase ratio of 18% and the highest toughness of 10.8 MPa.m$^{1}$2/ and Vickers hardness of 1201 kgf/mm$^2$.

The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of piezoelectric properties with compressive cy-clic loading, the change in bending strength before and after poling treatment and fracture strength in MPB depending on the amount of MnO2 addition. The MPB with 0.25 wt.% MnO2 showed the best resistance against the piezoelectric degradation with compressive cyclic loading. Bending strength increased when pol-ing and loading directions are parallel, however decreased when poling and loading directions are per-pendicular each other. Because, during poling treatment, compressive residual stress is generated in the pol-ing direction but tensile residual stress in the perpendicular direction to poling direction.
