Fabricated modified PZT system for pyroelectric IR sensor were analyzed and characterized for dielectric piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. Particle size and distribution of source powders were controlled by attrition milling process. 0.05PSS+yPT+(0.95-y)PZ+0.4 wt%MnO2 system was fabricated and investigated sintering density crystal structure and micro-structure through sintering conditions sintering temperature and sintering atmosphere. The poled sintered system of y=0.11 showed the lowest dielectric constant. The dielectric constants were increased with increasing y-mole ratio. The pyroelectric properties of modified PZT systems which were assembled to TO-5 package were measured by IR measurement system average out-voltage of 0.05PSS+0.1PT+0.84PZ+ wt%MnO2 was 3V.

The powder characteristics of UO2 via AUC prepared by precipitation from a UN with AC soiution produced from nuclear fuel powder conversion plant and that of the existing facility were compared. Mean particle size of AUC powder was decreased and agglomerates were much occured in case of using the AC solution that that of the gases but other properties such as particle size distribution and shape of particle are thought to be similarly. In compaction of UO2 powder the breaking pressur of agglomerated UO2 powder and the sintered density of final UO2 pellet from AC solution were measured 1.45$\times$108 N/m2 and 10.52 g/cc, These values could be used in nuclear fuel powder fabrication process.

La0.8Ca0.2Cr0.98O3 powder was prepared using the modified Pechini process. Various crystalline phases formed during thermal decomposition were investigated. (La,Ca)CrO4 phase, first formed from the precursor, was transformed to (La,Ca)CrO3 and CaCrO4 above 80$0^{\circ}C$, which remained up to 110$0^{\circ}C$. However, only (La,Ca)CrO3 phase consisting of orthorhombic and intermediate rhombohedral polymorphs was observed after sintering at 125$0^{\circ}C$. The specimens sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited 98% of relative density and rather wide grain size distribution with average grain size of 3-4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Densification and grain growth of the specimens observed above 125$0^{\circ}C$ were presumably attributed to liquid phase sintering resulted from melting of Ca3(CrO4)2 phase.

High-T$_{c}$, superconducting wire is very important element for the application of electrical power systems. But it is very difficult to develope the long high T, wire with excellent properties. BiSrCaCuO multi-layer tapes are fabricated by a rolling method and pressing method sintered for several step at 840.deg. C. The critical current densities of 637 filament multi-layer tapes sintering 100 hours fabricated by the rolling method and pressing method are 1.3*10$^{4}$ A/cm$^{2}$ and 5.5*10$^{3}$ A/cm$^{2}$. The critical cur-rent densites of multi-layer tapes made by rolling method are found to be better than those fabricated by the powder-in-tube method and pressing process. As result, the rolling method is the best way to fabricated the multi-layer filament.t.

In this study, to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PSN-PNN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured as a function of CuO addition. Its dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. With increasing the amount of CuO addition, grain size was increased and density increased until 0.3wt% CuO. Taking into consideration electromechanical coupling factor(kp) of 0.53, mechanical quality factor(Qm) of 423 and ${\epsilon}r$ of 1759, it can be cincluded that the CuO 0.5wt% added composition sintered at $920^{\circ}C$ is suitable for piezoelectric transformer application if Qm is improved.

Effects of CaO on microwave dielectric properties of (Ba, Pb)O-Nd2O3-TiO2 ceramic ystem were investigated. As the content of CaO increases, the sintered bulk density decreases due to the decrease of sinterability. However, with increasing the sintering tmperature, the relative dielectric constants increases. This has been attributed on the formation of the 2nd phase inclusion, TiO2(rutile). The Q values increase due to the compensation effect of Ca ions up to 1 wt%, and then decrease due to the interfacial relaxation effects. The temperature coefficient of resonance frequency increases to a positive direction with increasing the amounts of CaO.

In order to examine the effect of CuO and Al2O3 addition on the electrical conductivity of ZnO, both Al2O3 (0, 1, 2, 5, 10at.%) and CuO (1, 5at.%) were added to ZnO. Al2O3 addition (~2at.% Al) increased the total electrical conductivity of ZnO which was already decreased by CuO doping effect Above solid solubility of Al (~2at.%), ZnAl2O4 formed and the total electrical conductivity decreased due to the decrease of sintered density. Impedance measurements were used to know the reason and degree of contribution of three resistive elements, ZnO grain, ZnO/CuO, and ZnO/ZnO grain boundaries, to the total electrical conductivity changed.

This study was investigated on the recycle feasibility of the waste AC(Ammonium Carbonate) solution produ-ced in a commercial AUC(Ammonium Uranyl Carbonate) conversion plant. AUC particles were produced with the AC solution which was prepared with AC solid-agent instead of ammonia and carbon-dioxide gases. As the results particles of monoclinic shapes has been obtained regardless of the pH change if the carbonate concentration is sufficient in the mother liquore. Also a lot of twinned or aggregated particles were formed in case of the increase of pH in the reaction system but not affected in the change of temperature. Consequen-tly the characteristics of the particles which converted for AUC were produced withAC solution to UO2, particles specific surface area shape sintered density and others were similar to that of the particles which were produced with gases only when the pellets are fabricated in the nuclear fuel manufacturing process So the waste AC solution which is produced in the commercial AUC conversion plant is possible to recycle.

The charcteristics for the copper-contained spinel ferrites such as NiCu-and ZnCu ferrites with various copper content are investigated in this study which can provide a explanation for the behavior of copper in sintering at a low temperatuer. The bulk density and the grain size for these sintered ferrites were increased with the larger amount of copper in compositions. In microstructure of copper-contained spinel ferrites copper exists in the grain boundary which is sintering process. Electrical resistivity and frequency range with maximum Q-facor of NiCu-or ZnCu ferrites were decreased as increasing of copper content in ferrite composition.

The surface of SiC particles were partially oxidized to produce SiO2 layers on the SiC particles to prepare Al2O3/SiC composite by formation of mullite bonds between the grains of Al2O3 and SiC during sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$. This process is considered to enable the sintering of Al2O3/SiC composite at lower temperature and also to relieve the stress, produced by thermal expansion mismatch between Al2O3 and SiC. In fact, Al2O3/SiC composite prepared by oxidation of SiC was observed to be more effectively sintered and densified at lower temperature. Maximum density, flexural strength and microhardness were obtained with 5.65 vol% of mullite content in Al2O3/SiC composite.
