Single phae Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-based solid solutions, the Mg2+ of which are replaced by 20mol% of Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and the Pb2+ of which are replaced by 0∼20 mol% of La3+, were synthesized and their ordering structures of B-site cations were investigated by XRD and TEM. The B'-site cations (Mg2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+) are disordered while these B'-site cations and the B"-site cations (Nb5+) are nonstoichiometrically 1:1 ordered within the ordered nano-domains dispersed in the Nb5+-rich disordered matrix. The charge imbalance between the B'-rich ordered nano-domains and the B"-rich disordered matrix are compensated by the doping of electron donor such as La3+, which enhances the degree of nonstoichiometric 1:1 ordering. For a given La3+ content, the degree of nonstoichiometric 1:1 ordering increases as the average ionic size difference between the B'-and B"-site cations increases, Ni2+

Using the micro-pulling down method, $Nd_2O_3$ doped crack-free stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals were grown in 1 mm diameter and 30∼35 mm length. The homogeneous distributions of $Nd_2O_3$ concentration were confirmed by the electron probe micro analysis. The absorption and photoluminescence spectra were measured with respect to the $Nd_2O_3$ doping.

$LiNbO_{3}$ single crystals (undoped, 5 mol% MgO-doped and 5 mol% ZnO-doped) were grown by the floating zone method which has the characteristics of a compositional homogeneity and uniform distribution of the dopants. The optimum growth condition was established experimentally and the defect structures such as domain structure, dislocation structure, slip band, and microtwins were characterized using a microscopic method.

최근에는 압전체의 환경오염 문제의 해결 및 가격경쟁력을 갖추기 위해서 비납계 압전체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. (Na,K)$NbO_3$ 계는 페로브스카이트 구조를 가지는 비납계 세라믹스로 현재 가장 많이 연구되고 있는 물질 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 압전성이 우수한 $(Na_{0.44}K_{0.52}Li_{0.04})(Nb_{0.9}Ta_{0.04}Sb_{0.06})O_3$ 조성에 CuO, $Cu_2O$ 등의 Cu 산화물을 첨가하였을 때의 전기기계결합계수, 기계적품질계수, 비유전율, 압전전하상수, 문극-전계 이력곡선 (P-E hysteresis curve) 등을 변화를 평가하고자 하였다.

We have demonstrated the combinatorial synthesis of a variety of transparent conducting oxides using a combinatorial sputter system. The effects of a wide range of Nb or Zn doping rate on the optical and electrical properties of Indium-tin oxides (ITO) films were investigated. The Nb or Zn doped ITO films were fabricated on glass substrates, using combinatorial sputtering system which yields a linear composition spread of Nb or Zn concentration in ITO films in a controlled manner by co-sputtering two targets of ITO and $Nb_2O_5$ or ITO and ZnO. We have examined the work-function, resistivity, and optical properties of the Nb or Zn-doped ITO films. Furthermore, the effects of Hz plasma treatment on the physical properties of Ga or Zn doped ITO films synthesized by combinatorial sputter system were investigated.

The photocatalytic activity of TiO$_2$ was investigated as a function of added amount of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$, heat treatment temperature and the decomposition rate of 1 mM dichloroacetic acid(DCA). Mixed oxides of TiO$_2$ and Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ was prepared by the sol-gel process. The addition of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ into TiO$_2$ has deleterious effect on the decomposition rate of DCA, which was decreased as the amount of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ was increased. The excess electrons due to the doping of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ into TiO$_2$ can promote the reduction process instead of oxidation or recombination rate with electron holes. The most efficient photocatalyst was the one heat treated at 40$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour as far as the heat treatment temperature is concerned. The lower the pH of the solution, the higher the quantum yield.tum yield.

The piezoelectric properties and the doping effect for$0.95Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3+0.05Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3)O_3$ compositions were studied. Also, the heat generation and the change of electromechanical characteristics, the important problem in practical usage, were investigated under high electric field driving. As a experiment results under low electric field, the values of kp and $\varepsilon33T$ were maximized, but Qm was minimized(Kp=0.57, Qm=1550) in the composition of x=0.51. In order to increase the values of Qm $Nb_2O_5$ was used as a dopant. As the result of that, the grain size was suppressed and the uniformity of grain was improved. Also, the values of kp decreased, and the values of Qm increased with doping concentration of $Nb_2O_5$. As a experiment results under high electric field driving, when vibration velocity was lower than 0.6[m/s], the temperature increase was $20[^{\circ}C]$, and the change ratio of mechanical quality factor was less than 10[%]. So, its electromechanical characteristics was very stable. Conclusively, piezoelectric ceramic composition investigated at this paper is suitable for application to high power piezoelectric devices.

The effects of MnO$_2$ addition on the properties in Pb(Mg$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$ relaxor ferroelectrics were studied in the phase transition temperature range from -4$0^{\circ}C$ to 11$0^{\circ}C$. Specimens were made via solid state processing method. Dielectric properties, piezoelctric properties, electric-field-induced strain were examined to clarify the effect of MnO$_2$ addition in 0.9MN-0.1PT. As the amount of MnO$_2$ increases, the maximum dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decreases. Q$_{m}$ increased by increasing the doping contents of Mn. When 0.5wt% MnO$_2$ was doped, Q$_{m}$ increased from 95 to 480. The electric-filed-induced strain and polarization decreases as the amount of MnO$_2$ increases. From the experimental results, it was suggested that Mn behaves as an ferroelectric domain pinning element.ent.
