Glass-ceramics transparent above $10\;{\mu}m$ in the infrared, have been synthesized. They are based on germanium and antimony sulphides or selenides associated to alkali halides. They are prepared by heating glass samples at temperatures above the glass transition, as a function of time. Ceramisation can be controlled, so that sub-100 nm crystals are generated in the glass matrix. Then, low light scattering is achieved and the transparency window of the original glass is maintained. When gallium sulphide is added, glass ceramics can be doped with rare-earth ions. Emissions from the $^4F_{3/2}$ and $^4I_{13/2}$ of $Nd^{3+}$ and $Er^{3+}$ ions, respectively, are more intense in glass-ceramics, as compared to their vitreous counterpart. Examination of band profiles and decaytimes show that rare-earth ions are embedded in both crystalline and glassy environments.

For photosensitive and micro-structuring in $Li_2O-A1_2O_3-SiO_2$glasses by laser treatment, Nd:YAG laser in 355 nm and 1064 nm wavelength was irradiated to the glass to investigate fracture characterization and optical changes. The fractured glass surfaces irradiated by 1064 nm laser was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and optical microscope, and optical changes caused by 355 nm later was identified from absorption spectra. In this study, it could be expected that the laser treatment technology will be utilized for 3-dimensional micro-structure, internal waveguide, optical memory by optical absorption changes in glass matrix.

졸겔법은 건식공정에서 습식공정으로 마이크로 단위에서 나노 단위로의 전환을 의미하는 정밀세라믹스의 제조공정에 새로운 개념으로서 세라믹스의 초기 제조공정에 표면이나 계면을 조절함으로써 재료내에 이들로 인해 발생하는 불균질을 제거하여 우수한 물성의 세라믹스를 얻고자 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 고출력 레이저 발진용 매질로 각광받고 있는 Nd:glass를 기존의 건식공정인 용융법대신 습식공정인 sol-gel process를 이용하여 제조하고자 연구하였다.

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy(LIBS) system is being developed as an in-situ analysis system for the radioactive waste glass in the cold crucible melter. In order to complete the LIBS system, a spectrometer, a detector, and a laser were structured. An ESA 3000 (LLA Instruments GmbH, Germany) including a calibrated Kodak KAF-1001 CCD detector was selected as the spectrometer. A Q-switched Nd-YAG Brilliant(Quantel, France) laser was selected as an energy source. As the first research stage, the excitation temperatures of Fe(I) as a function of the detector's delay intervals(500, 1000, 1500, 2000ns) were evaluated using the Einstein-Boltzmann equation. The optimized excitation temperature of Fe (I) was 7820k at the delay time of 1500㎱ using the 532nm Nd-YAG laser pulse. This LIBS system will be optimized under the real environment vitrification facility in the near future and then used to be in-situ analyzed the glass compositions in the melter qualitatively.

Effects of pH, bentonite and Portland cement on the leaching of the simulated waste glass were investigated. The simulated waste glass showed the low leach rate in the neutral pH region, while the leach rate in both acidic and alkaline regions increased. Addition of bentonite to the leachant enhanced the leaching of the waste glass. When the waste glass was leached at 72$^{\circ}C$ for 36 days in the ground water with gel state Na-bentonite, approximately 2.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of the surface was corroded out and the large amount of Ti, Nd, and Zr was observed on the surface. The amount of B leached from the simulated waste glass in the presence of domestic bentonite was about three times higher than that in the presence of Aldrich bentonite as well as Portland cement.

Five solution styrene butadiene rubber/neodymium butadiene rubber (SSBR/NdBR) composites were manufactured using different ratios of SSBR and NdBR. In this study, the composites were reinforced with NdBR and silica to confirm the physical properties of SSBR used for treads of automobile tires and the dispersibility with silica. The morphologies of the rubber composites were observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The crosslinking behaviors of the composites were tested using a rubber process analyzer (RPA), and the abrasion resistances were tested using a National Bureau of Standards (NBS) abrasion tester. The hardness values, tensile strengths, and cold resistances of the composites were also tested according to ASTM standards. Increased NdBR content yielded composites with excellent crosslinking properties, abrasion resistances, hardnesses, tensile strengths, and cold resistances. The crosslinking point increased due to the double bond in NdBR, thereby increasing the degree of crosslinking in the composites. The NdBR-reinforced composites exhibited excellent abrasion resistances, which is explained as follows. In SSBR, a breakage is permanent because a resonance structure between styrene and SSBR forms when the molecular backbone is broken during the abrasion process. However, NdBR forms an additional crosslink due to the breakdown of the molecular backbone and high reactivity of the radicals produced. In addition, the low glass transition temperature (Tg) of NdBR provided the rubber composites with excellent cold resistances.

The glass-electroceramics were composed of glass composition(CaO, $SiO_2$, $B_2$ $O_3$) and electroceramic composition(BaO, N $d_2$ $O_3$, B $i_2$ $O_3$ and Ti $O_2$) Their dielectric properties have been investigated as a function of sintering temperature and glass contents. In the ceramics composed of 0.16BaO-0.15(N $d_{0.87}$,B $i_{0.13}$)$_2$ $O_3$-0.69Ti $O_2$with glass ［EG-2782］ 3wt% addition and sintered at 108$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h, we could obtain microwave properties of dielectric constant $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 80.1, quality factor Q $\times$f = 810(at 3.5 GHz) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency $\tau$$_{f}$ = -1.3 ［ppm/$^{\circ}C$］. These experimental results show that dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency could be estimated by empirical equations involving the rule of mixture.e.

Recently low resistance of bus line is required for large screen size TFT-LCD panels. As a result, lower resistance Al-alloy is currently reviewed extensively. The resistivity is required smaller than 10 $\mu$$\Omega$cm. In this paper, Al-Nd thin film were deposited on glass substrates by D.C. magnetron sputtering system under various condition. Its properties were characterized by SEM, AFM, XRD, 4-ping-probe. The optimal condition of Al-Nd was 12$0^{\circ}C$, 125W, 0.4Pa, 30sccm(Ar) and 35$0^{\circ}C$, 20min. annealing. At that condition the resistivity of Al-Nd(2wt.%) was about 4 $\mu$$\Omega$cm. The minimum contact resistance of ITO/Nd was about 110$\mu$$\Omega$cm in the condition of 30$0^{\circ}C$, Ar 30 sccm. O2.
