Electron magnetic resonance (EMR) of paramagnetic Cr$^{3+}$, Mn$^{2+}$, and Fe$^{3+}$ impurity ions in ferroelectric LiNbO$_3$ and LiTaO$_3$ single crystals has been studied. The actual sites location of paramagnetic impurity ions in the crystals was suggested from the experimental results and zero field splitting parameters calculated by superposition model. It turns out that Cr$^{3+}$ ions in LiNbO$_3$ crystal have two resonance centers and enter both the Li$^{+}$ and Nb$^{5+}$ ions. Mn$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{3+}$ impurity ions in LiNbO$_3$ substitute for Nb$^{5+}$ ions. However, both Cr$^{3+}$ and Fe$^{3+}$ ions in LiTaO$_3$ crystal reside at Li$^{+}$ ions.$ +/ ions.+/ ions.

PNW-PMN-PZT ceramics were fabricated with the variations of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ addition and their microstructural and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. When the amount of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ increased, grain size decreased gradually. At 0.3wt％ Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ which is the same weight percent with Fe$_2$O$_3$, maximum tetragonality(c/a) and density were shown due to the complexed doping effects. Also, this composition that showed Qm of 2,041, kp of 0.55, grain size of 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and $\varepsilon$r of 1704 were proper for high power application. Using this composition, Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer was fabricated as the size of 1 ${\times}$ 16 ${\times}$ 5㎣ and its electrical characteristics were investigated with the variations of load resistance and driving frequency. At the resistance of 200㏀, maximum step-up ratio of 13.68 was shown. After driving PDA CCFL for 25 min using the inverter circuit, at driving frequency of 214.4KHz, input voltage of 31.78 V and input current of 21.1mA were measured at the input part of piezoelectric transformer. And then, output voltage of 293.2 V and output current of 2.2mA were shown at the output part of piezoelectric transformer. At the same time, efficiency of 96.2％ and temperature rise of 3.5$^{\circ}C$ were appeared at the piezoelectric transformer.ormer.

RBS와 XRD를 이용하여 C o-Nb이중층 실리사이드와 구리 배선층간의 열적안정성에 관하여 조사하였다. Cu$_{3}$Si등의 구리 실리사이드는 열처리시 40$0^{\circ}C$정도에서 처음 형성되기 시작하였는데, 이 때 형성되는 구리 실리사이드는 기판의 상부에 존재하던 준안정한 CoSi의 분해시에 발생한 Si원자와의 반응에 의한 것이다. 한편, $600^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리 후에는 CoSi$_{2}$층을 확산.통과한 Cu원자와 기판 Si와의 반응에 의하여 CoSi$_{2}$/Si계면에도 구리 실리사이드가 성장하였는데, 이렇게 구리 실리사이드가 CoSi$_{2}$/Si 계면에 형성되는 것은 Cu원자의 확산속도가 여러 중간층에서 Si 원자의 확산속도 보다 더 빠르기 때문이다. 열처리 결과 최종적으로 얻어진 층구조는 CuNbO$_{3}$/Cu$_{3}$Si/Co-Nb합금층/Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$CoSi$_{2}$/Cu$_{3}$Si/Si이었다. 여기서 상부에 형성된 CuNbO$_{3}$는 Cu원자가 Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$및 Co-Nb합금층과 반응하여 기지조직의 입계에 석출되어 형성된 것이다.

High-quality $Er^{3+}$ doped Mg : $LiNbO_3$single crystal fibers were grown by a micro-pulling down ($\mu$-PD) method. Single crystal fibers were pulled down through the nozzle, at a pulling down rate of 0.5 mm/min and using a Pt crucible with a nozzle 1 mm in diameter in air atmosphere. Defects such as bubbles, cracks and inclusions were not detected in any of the grown crystals. The optical transmission of Er : Mg : $LiNbO_3$crystal was measured and the energy levels of $Er_2O_3$ ion could be calculated. The photoluminescence spectrum of crystal fibers showed an energy band emission with the strongest line corresponding to the $^4I_{3/2}{\to}^4I_{15/2}$transition. The concentration dependence of the entire wavelength region emission intensity upon excitation intensity measured emission intensity for the 3 mol% MgO doped fibers was larger than that for the 1, 5 mol% MgO doped fibers.

In this study, both structural and microwave dielectric properties of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) cation-deficient perovskite ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated. All sample of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$. The bulk density and quality factor of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were increased with increasing sinterning temperature in the range of $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$, but these were decreased the sintering temperature of above $1450^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased continuously with increasing sintering temperature. And the dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased in as the sintering temperature increasesfrom $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$ but was decreased at the temperatures above $1475^{\circ}C$. In the case of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}\;and\;Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 5h, the dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) were 8.2, 259,473 GHz, $-10.91ppm/^{\circ}C$ and 14, 37,350 GHz, $-52.3ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

We developed a pulsed laser deposition(PLD) apparatus for depositing various thin films. In this study, the formation of $NbS_2$ thin film was performed in the vacuum chamber by PLD method. $Al_2O_3$(012) and Si(111) were used as the substrates. In order to investigate the growth conditions of a high crystalline $NbS_2$ thin film, the S/Nb composition ratio was varied from 2.0 to 5.25 and the substrate temperature was varied from the room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$. From the result of X-ray diffraction studies of the prepared $NbS_2$ thin films, it was reported that the $NbS_2$, thin film showed a good crystallinity at substrate temperature $600^{\circ}C$ and with S/Nb composition ratio 4.0 on $Al_2O_3$(012) but did not on Si(111). The films exhibited c-axis orientation.

With the synthetic standards, valuable metals $(Ta_2O_5, Nb_2O_5, TiO_2, SnO_2$, and $ZrO_2$) in the tin slags have been determined by the x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The powder sample and the standards are homogeneously mixed with anhydrous $Li_2B_4O_7$ and La_2O_3$ in weight ratio of 15 : 42 : 3 respectively. The mixed material is fused at $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to be changed into the glass bead. The bead is ground to (-) 325 mesh size and pelletized. The analytical results obtained in this work are consistent with the data obtained by other common methods within allowable error range. The standard deviation for $Ta_2O_5$ in PTS-H sample is 0.12 % at level of 3.40 % content.

The effects of sintering atmosphere and dopant addition on the behavior of densification and grain growth of SnO2 ceramics were investigated with consideration of defect chemistry. CoO and Nb2O5 were chosen as dopants, and oxygen and nitrogen were used for controlling of sintering atmospheres. With the decrease of oxygen partial pressure, densification was depressed due to evaporation of SnO2 ceramics. In the case of SnO2 sintering, the addition of CoO, which produced oxygen vacancy in SnO2 ceramics, led to acceleration of densification and grain growth. On the contrary, when Nb2O5 as a dopant producing Sn vacancy was added to SnO2 ceramics, densification and grain growth were simultaneously retarded. As results, it was conformed that diffusion of oxygen ions was rate determinant in densification and grain growth of SnO2 ceramics.
