$BiFeO_3$ films were hetero-epitaxially grown on $SrTiO_3$ substrate with a various orientation by pulse laser deposition. $BiFeO_3$ films grown on (111) $SrTiO_3$ substrate have a rhombohedral structure, identical to that of single crystals. On the other hand, films grown on (110) or (001) $SrTiO_3$ substrate are monoclinically distorted from the rhombohedral structure due to the epitaxial constraint. The easy axis of spontaneous polarization is close to [111] for the variously oriented films. Dramatically enhanced polarization and magnetization have been found for $BiFeO_3$ thin films grown on $SrTiO_3$ substrate comparing to that of $BiFeO_3$ crystals. The results are explained in terms of an epitaxially-induced transition between cycloidal and homogeneous spin states, via magneto-electric interactions.

The microwave dielectric properties of (I-x)CaTiO$_{3}$-xLaAIO$_{3}$ were investigated. The solid solution of (1-x)CaTiO$_{3}$-xLaAIO$_{3}$ had the perovskite structure in the range of all compositions. The crystal system of (1-x)CaTiO$_{3}$-xLaAIO$_{3}$ was transformed to orthorhombic(x.leq.0.4), psudo-cubic(x=0.5), and rhombohedral (x.geq.0.7) in turn, as the amount of LaAIO$_{3}$ increased. The dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of solid solution were decreased with the content of LaAIO$_{3}$, whereas, the value of Q . f$_{o}$ was increased. The microwave dielectric material having Q . f$_{o}$ = 32, 500, .epsilon.$_{r}$ = 42, and .tau.$_{f}$ = 5 ppm/.deg. C was obtained from the 0.35CaTiO$_{3}$-0.65LaAIO$_{3}$ composition sintered at 1600.deg. C for 4hrs.hrs.hrs.

We investigated the structural and dielectric properties of PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films that fabricated by the alkoxide-based Sol-Gel method. PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films were spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate with PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure and PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure by turns. Each layers were dried to remove the organic materials at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min and sintered at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. This procedure was repeated several times to form PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered films and thickness of the film obtained by one-times of drying/sintering process was approximately 80-90nm. PZt-1, 3, 5 films with top layer of PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure showed fine grain structure and PZT-2, 4, 6 films with top layer of PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure showed the dense grain microstructure without rosette-type. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT-6 film were approximaterly 1385 and 3.3% respectively. Increasing the number of coatings remanent polarization was increased and coercive field was decreased and the values of the PZT-6 film were 8.13$\mu$C/cm$^2$and 12.5kV/cm respectively.

In this work, PZT(20/80)/(80/20) heterolayered thin film that has the tetragonal and rhombohedral structure was fabricated by Sol-Gel method spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by turns. The thickness of PZT-1 film obtained by six-times of drying/sintering process was about 480[nm]. This procedure was repeated several times to form PZT heterolayered thim film. PZT-5 thin films with top layer of tetragonal PZT(20/80) thin film showed dense grain structure and PZT-6 thin film with top layer of rhombohedral PZT(80/20) thin film showed the microstructure without rosette. Dielectric constant increased with increasing the number of coatings, and it was about 13S5 at PZT-6 thin film. Dielectric loss was not depend on the number of coatings.

The possibility of the existence of a field-induced micro-macrodomain switching was proposed and examined using 9 mol % PbZrO3-doped 0.6Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PNN-PT) systems having rhombohedral symmetry at room temperature. the thermally depoled (freshly prepard) specimens prepared from the rhombohedral side of the system exhibited a relaxor behavior for the whole range of temperature examined (for T

We have investigated the magnetic properties of $ErFe_2O_4$. Stoichiometric polycrystalline sample of $ErFe_2O_4$ was prepared by solid-state reaction method in a stream of CO/$CO_2$ gas. The X-ray power diffraction pattern shows that the diffraction peaks are indexed with respect to the rhombohedral structure with a space group of R3m. The temperature dependent magnetization for $ErFe_2O_4$ shows two-step phase transitions at about 220 and 250 K. The transition at 250 K is an antiferromagnetic transition and that at 220 K is a structural transition.

In order to understand the electrostrictive behavior of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3(PMN-PT) solid solutions the dielectric constants and the electric-field-induced strains in (1-x)PMN-xPT (x=0.0-0.4) were investigated in the temperature range -5$0^{\circ}C$-20$0^{\circ}C$. Powder of (1-x)Pb(Mg2/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4) were prepared from the oxide forms of Pb, Mg, Nb and Ti via a columbite precursor method As the amount of PbTiO3 increases the temperature of maximum dielectric constant(T$\varepsilon$max) increases and the phase transition become less diffusive. The strain maximum occurs only when the diffuse phase transition occurs from rhombohedral to cubic or rhombohedral to tetragonal as in x=0.1-0.35 The strains monotonically decrease with temperature in the materials in which phase transition occurs from tetragonal to cubic as in x=0.4.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the synthesis characteristics of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate(for short PCC) in Ca(OH)$_2-CO_2-H_2O$ system by the continuous drop method of Ca(OH)$_2$ slurry into the solution containing $CO_2$(aq). When the flow rate of $CO_2$(g) increases and the concentration of Ca(OH)$_2$ slurry become low, the absorption rate of $CO_2$(g) become faster than the dissolution rate of Ca(OH)$_2$. Consequently, the growth of the calcite crystal plane is facilitated resulting in synthesis of $1.0{\mu}m$ of rhombohedral calcite. On the other hand, when the flow rate of $CO_2$(g) decreases and the concentration of Ca(OH)$_2-CO_2-H_2O$ slurry become high, new nuclei is created along with the crystal growth resulting in synthesis of $0.1{\mu}m$ of prismatic calcite. Maintaining 1.0wt% of Ca(OH)$_2-CO_2-H_2O$ slurry, 120 drops/min of drop rate and $25^{circ}C$ of temperature, the shape of PCC shows colloidal and spherical agglomerate at 100 mL/min of the flow rate of $CO_2$(g); the mixture of rhombohedral and plate-shaped calcite, at 200∼500 mL/min. Therefore, as the flow rate of $CO_2$(g) increases, the shape of PCC changes from colloidal and rhombohedral calcite to plate-shaped calcite. Maintaining 500 mL/min of the flow rate of $CO_2$(g), 120 drops/min of the drop rate of Ca(OH)$_2$ slurry, and $25^{circ}C$ of temperature, the shape of PCC shows the plate-shaped calcite at 1.0∼3.0 wt% of Ca(OH)$_2$ slurry; the hexagonal plate-shape calcite of the thickness of $0.1{\mu}m$ and the width of $1.0{\mu}m$, at 4.0 wt%.

상온에서 단결정 Sapphire가 충격에 의해서 파괴될 때에 수반되는 미세 조직변화에 대하여 관찰하였다. 파괴된 시편을 광학현미경으로 조사한 결과 cleavage는 주로 rhombohedral plane에서 일어나고 있음을 알았다. 그러나 관찰시료 파면의 양상을 박막(replica)으로 만들어 투과형 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과로는 국부적으로 소성변화가 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 국부적인 소성변화는 crack의 진행을 저해하거나 또는 진로를 변경 시켜주므로 보다 높은 fracture energy를 유발시키는 원인이 됨을 알 수 있다.
