A series of pH and temperature-responsive (N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-methylacrylic acid) copolymers were synthesized by radical copolymerization and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) $^1H$, $^{13}C$ and LLS. The effects of salt and pH on the phase transition behaviors of the copolymers were investigated by uv. With increasing NaCl concentration, significant salt effects on their phase transition behaviors were observed. UV spectroscopic studies showed that the phase transition became faster with increasing NaCl concentration. In addition, the phase transition behaviors of copolymers were sensitive to pH. The pH and temperature sensitivity of these copolymers would make an interesting drug delivery system.

Vanadium dioxide (VO₂) is a well-known material that undergoes insulator-to-metal phase transition near room temperature. Since the conductivity of VO₂ changes several orders of magnitude in the terahertz (THz) spectral range during the phase transition, VO₂-based active metamaterials have been extensively studied. Experimentally, it is reported that the metal nanostructures on the VO₂ thin film lowers the critical temperature significantly compared to the bare film. Here, we theoretically studied such early transition phenomena by developing an analytical model. Unlike experimental work that only measures transmission, we calculate the reflection and absorption and demonstrate that the role of absorption is quite different for bare and patterned samples; the absorption gradually increases for bare film during the phase transition, while an absorption peak is observed at the critical temperature for the metamaterials. In addition, we also discuss the gap width and VO₂ thickness effects on the transition temperatures.

Gd박막의 강자성-상자성 상전이 온도(Tc)이동을 조사했다. 강자성-상자성 상전이 온도에서 전기저항이 변화되는 변곡점을 관측하여 Tc를 결졍하였는데, 두께가 6600$\AA$인 Gd박막의 상전이 온도는 bulk상태의 Gd의 전이온도보다 4$\pm$0.$3^{\circ}C$정도 아래로 이동됨을 알았다. 이것은 강자성 Gd박막의 Tc이동에 대한 최초의 측정이며, 실험과 finite-sime scaling이론을 비교 분석했다.

The side chain liquid crystal triblock copolymers (TBCs), which underwent phase transitions below their decomposition temperature, were prepared by copolymerization of poly(n-butyl acrylate) and a comonomer containing the mesogenic azobenzene group. The physical properties of TBCs in the distinctive transition temperature ranges were investigated in terms of the liquid crystal (LC) content in the copolymers. The phase transition temperatures traced optically, thermally and rheologically were well coincided one another and clearly exhibited the phase transition of smectic-nematic-isotropic with increasing temperature. In the smectic phase, increasing temperature made the liquid crystal system more elastic, but viscosity (${\eta}'$) remained almost constant. In the nematic phase, increasing temperature abruptly decreased ${\eta}'$ and G', ultimately leading to isotropic phase. Both smectic and nematic phases exhibited Bingham viscosity behavior but the former gave much greater yield stress at the same LC content.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a strongly correlated oxide exhibiting a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is accompanied by a structural phase transition from a low temperature monoclinic phase to a high-temperature rutile phase. VO2 has attracted significant attention because of a variety of possible applications based on its ultrafast MIT. Interestingly, the transition nature of VO2 is significantly affected by stress due to doping and/or interaction with a substrate and/or surface tension as well as defects. Accordingly, there have been considerable efforts to understand the influences of such factors on the phase transition and the fundamental mechanisms behind the MIT behavior. Here, we present the influences of oxygen deficiency, hydrogen doping, and substrate-induced stress on MIT phenomena in single-crystalline VO2 nanobeams. Specifically, the work function and the electrical resistance of the VO2 nanobeams change with the compositional variation due to the oxygen-deficiency-related defects. In addition, the VO2 nanobeams during exposure to hydrogen gas exhibit the reduction of transition temperature and the complex phase inhomogenieties arising from both substrate-induced stress and the formation of the hydrogen doping-induced metallic rutile phase.

Organic-inorganic halide perovskite single crystals undergo phase transition of being cubic, tetragonal, or orthorhombic depending on the temperature. We investigated the $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals grown by the inverse temperature crystallization method with temperature-dependent UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence. From the temperature-dependent absorption measurement, the optical band gap is extracted by derivation of absorption spectrum fitting and Tauc plot. In our results, $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals show that an abrupt change in optical band gap, PL peak position and intensity appears around 120 K - 170 K regions, indicating the phase transition temperature.

가교제 poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)를 사용하여 제조한 poly(N-iso-propylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) 및 poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium methacrylate) (P(NIPAAm-co-SMA)) hydrogels의 부피 상전이 현상을 함수율과 표면적의 변화로 고찰하였다. Hydyogel의 부피 상전이 온도는 가교제의 농도에는 영향을 받지 않았으나 공단량체인 SMA의 소량 첨가로 4$0^{\circ}C$ 이상 상승하였다. 특히 PEGDA를 가교제로 사용하였을 경우 가교 길이가 길어짐에 따라 부피 상전이 온도가 더 높게 상승하였다. PNIPAAm 및 P(NIPAAm-co-SMA) hydrogels의 표면적 역시 부피 상전이 온도를 전후하여 감소하였는데 이는 부피 상전이 과정에서 기공의 크기가 현저하게 감소하였기 때문이다. 따라서 표면적과 기공 크기의 변화가 부피 상전이를 나타내는 주요한 인자임을 알 수 있다.

The ${\beta} to {\alpha}$ phase transition in silver iodide is studied with the (N, V, E) and (N, P, T) molecular dynamics (MD) method. In experiments, the phase transition temperature is 420 K. Upon heating of ${\beta}$ form, the iodine ions undergo hcp to bcc transformation and silver ions become mobile. MD simulations for the ${\beta}$ and ${\alpha}$ phases are carried out at several temperatures and the radial distribution functions (rdf) are obtained at those temperatures in the (N, V, E) ensemble. But the phase transition is not found in our calculation. Next the phase transition is studied with the (N, P, T) MD and we find some evidences of phase transition. At 3 Kbars and 2 Kbars the phase transition temperatu re is about 300 K. For 3.55 Kbars, the phase transition is higher (420 K) than the low pressure case. The phase transition temperature is somewhat dependent on the pressure in our calculations.

Electrical properties of the $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystals grown by use of the Bridgman technique were examined in the transition temperature range between $\alpha$-phase and $\beta$-phase. $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal has ' the rhombohedral structure and lattice constants are a=4.025 $\AA$, c=28.771 $\AA$ in c-axis. The transition temperatures of the stoichiometric $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ single crystal is 198.8$^{\circ}C$ according to the specimens. The temperature of $\alpha$longrightarrow$\beta$ phase transition decreased but the temperature of $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transition increased as the number of heating-cooling cycle increased.

Lead-free (1-x)$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-xLiNbO_3$, i.e., NKN-LNx (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mol) was prepared using the conventional solid state reaction method. The effects of LN mixing on the ferroelectric properties of NKN-LNx ceramics were studied using a dielectric constant and P-E (Polarization-electric field) measurements. Ferroelectricity was observed in the composition for x approximately varying between 0.0 and 0.4. Minimum remanent polarization $2P_r=5C/cm^2$ was achieved in the composition for x = 0.2. The ferroelectric phase transition temperature $T_C$ increased with increasing LN content. The ferroelectric phase transition of NKN-LNx ($x{\geq}0.1$) is a second-order phase transition, and that of NKN-LNx ($x{\leq}0.2$) is a first-order phase transition. These results indicate that the ferroelectric phase transition temperature of NKN-LNx change from that of second-order to weak first-order phase transition according to the LN content.
