Nd and Ti co-doped bismuth ferrite $(Bi_{1-x}Nd_x)(Fe_{1-y}Ti_y)O_3$ (x, y = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) ceramics and thin films were synthesized through the conventional mixed-oxide process and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), respectively. Nd and Ti co-doping effect was examined with emphasis on how these impurities affect phase formation behavior as there could be the improvement in leakage current problems often associated with multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) thin films. The lattice constants of BFO ceramics decreased with Nd doping concentration up to 10mol%, while they further decreased with Nd and Ti co-doping to about 20%. BFO thin films obtained by the PLD process revealed random polycrystalline structure. Similar to bulk BFO ceramic, Nd and Ti co-doping effectively suppressed the formation of unwanted secondary phase and thus stabilized the perovskite phase in BFO thin films.

The $Nd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$(Nd123) superconductor exhibits high performance in high magnetic field and high temperature. We have studied phase stability for Nd123 under reduced oxygen partial pressure and various heat-treatment conditions. The main phase is Nd123 and some samples contain small amounts of Nd422 depending on the temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The decomposition temperature decreases with decreasing oxygen partial pressure from $1052^{\circ}C(P(O_2)$=150 Torr) to about $845^{\circ}C(P(O_2)$=0.1 Torr). The liquidus line was steeper temperature with decreasing oxygen partial pressure. In same condition of oxygen partial pressure, the region of stable Nd123 phase was formed at slightly higher temperature than the region of stable YBCO phase.

Destructive methods were used for the burnup determination of U-Zr alloy nuclear fuel irradiated in the High-flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor (HANARO) at KAERI. The dissolution rate of unirradiated U-Zr alloy fuel in $HNO_3$/HF mixtures was investigated for the experimental conditions of a different temperature, and initial concentrations of HF and $HNO_3$. The irradiated U-Zr alloy fuel specimen was dissolved in a mixed acid condition of 3 M HNO3 and 1 M HF at $90^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours under reflux. The total burnup was determined from measurement of the Nd isotope burnup monitors. The method includes U, Pu, $^{148}Nd,\;^P{145}Nd+^{146}Nd,\;^{144}Nd+^{143}Nd$ and total Nd isotopes determination by the isotope dilution mass spectrometric method (IDMS) using triple spikes $(^{233}U,\;^{242}Pu\;and\;^{150}Nd)$. The effective fission yield was calculated from the weighted fission yields averaged over the irradiation period. The results are compared with that obtained by the destructive -spectrometric measurement of the $^{137}Cs$ monitor.

고체 레이저매질로 가장 널리 쓰이는 Nd:YAG 단결정을 Czochralski 방법으로 육성하였다. 자체 제작한 Czochralski 결정 육성로 및 자동 결정 적경제어 장치를 써서 유효 직경 50mm, 길이 100mm의 Nd3+ 이온농도가 0.9at%이고 <111>방향의 단결정을 육성하였다. 단결정 육성시 융액의 수직방향에 대한 온도구배가 중용한 변수인 것이 확인되었으며, 결정 직경은 자동 제어가 가능하도록 컴퓨터 프로그램을 제작하였다. 육성된 단결정을 절단, 가공, 연마, 코팅 과정을 거쳐서 레이저 발진용 Nd:YAG막대를 제작하고 흡수 스펙트럼, 형과 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 정확한 Nd:YAG의 레이저 발진특성을 확인하였다. 자체 가공된 레이저 막대로부터 발진된 CW 레이저의 최대 출력은 70W이었고, 발진문턱값과 효율은 각각 1.3kW, 1.64%이었다.

Diagrams of $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ versus Ba/Nb and MgO/FeO are scattered, and $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ variation with the increase of $SiO_2$ are scattered in Gwangju granitoid. Diagrams of $(^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr)$i versus $(^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd)$i and ${\varepsilon}Nd$ versus 1/Nd variation are also scattered in Gwangju granitoid. It shows that the source magma of Gwangju granitoid are derived from partial melting materials of heterogeneous upper crust. Very low ${\varepsilon}Nd$ values (-15.19~-19.49) and very high ${\varepsilon}Sr$ values (92.72~308.85) mean that the source magma of Gwangju granitoid is derived from sedimentary substance melting. According to $(^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr)$ 180Ma, and the plot of ${\varepsilon}Sr$ versus ${\varepsilon}Nd$, the Gwangju granitoid shows that the source magma is derived from upper crust materials. Nd model ages of Gwangju granitoid (1.82~2.42G.A.) are older than meta-sediments of Okcheon formation (1.15~1.60G.A.) and similar or close to Pre-Cambrian gneiss complex of Ryoungnam massif (2.17~2.47G.A.or 2.11~2.38G.A.).Therefore, the source magma of the Gwangju granitoid could be derived from the partial melting of Pre-Cambrian gneiss complex of Ryoungnam massif.

The solubilities of different multicomponent lanthanide oxide (Ln₂O₃) solid solutions including binary (Ln₁ and Ln₂ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), ternary (Ln₁, Ln₂, and Ln₃ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), and higher systems (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) were studied after aging for four weeks at 60℃. Our recent study revealed that the phase transformations in binary ((La, Nd) and (La, Eu)) and ternary (La, Nd, Eu) systems are responsible for the formation of (La, Nd)(OH)₃, (La, Eu)(OH)₃, and (La, Nd, Eu)(OH)₃ solid solutions, respectively. The variations in the mole fractions of La³⁺, Nd³⁺, and Eu³⁺ in the sample solutions of these hydroxide solid solutions indicated that a thermodynamic equilibrium might account for the apparent La, Nd, and Eu solubilities. Conversely, the binary and ternary systems containing Tm₂O₃ as the heavy lanthanide oxide retained the oxide-based solid solutions, and their solubility behaviors were dominated by their congruent dissolutions. In the higher multicomponent system, the X-ray diffraction patterns of the solid phases, before and after contact with the aqueous phase indicated the formation of a stable oxide solid solution and their solubility behavior was explained by its congruent dissolution.

Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets have been utilized on various industrial fields such as electric vehicles, generator, robots with actuator, etc, due to their outstanding magnetic properties even 10 times better than conventional magnets. Recently, there are many researches that report magnetic properties improved by controlling microstructure through adjusting alloying elements or conducting various processing. Especially, post-sintering annealing (PSA) can significantly improve the coercivity by modifying the distribution and morphology of Nd-rich phase which formed at grain boundaries. In this study, Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets were subjected to primary heat treatment followed by secondary heat treatment at 460℃, 500℃, and 540℃ to investigate the changes in microstructure and magnetic properties with the secondary heat treatment temperature. EBSD analysis was conducted to compare anisotropic characteristics. Through the SEM and TEM observation for analyzing the morphology and distribution of Nd-rich phase, we investigated the relationship between microstructure and magnetic properties of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.
