Ni-Mn 산화물 NTC 서미스터의 미세구조와 전기적 특성에 미치는 Zr $O_2$ 첨가의 효과를 연구하였다. Zr $O_2$를 포함하는 Ni-Mn-Zr 산화물 소결체의 주요 상은 입방정 스피넬 구조를 가지는 NiO-Mn$_3$ $O_4$-Zr $O_2$의 고용체와 정방정 결정구조를 가지는 Zr $O_2$ 상이였다. Zr $O_2$의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 Ni-Mn-Zr산화물의 고용체를 형성하지 못하고 생성된 Zr $O_2$의 양이 증가하였다. NiO-Mn$_3$ $O_4$-Zr $O_2$ NTC 서미스터에 있어서 절대온도 역수(l/T)에 대한 로그 비저항(log $ho$)은 직선적인 관계가 있었고, 비저항, B$_{140}$320/정수 및 활성화 에너지는 Zr $O_2$ 함량이 증가함에 따라 크게 증가하였다.

The new emerging "High entropy materials" attract the attention of the scientific society because of their simpler structure and spectacular applications in many fields. A novel nanocrystalline high entropy (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 oxide has been successfully synthesized through mechanochemical treatment followed by sintering and air quenching. The present research work focuses on the possibility of single-phase formation in the aforementioned high entropy oxide despite the great difference in the atomic sizes of reactant alkaline earth and 3d transition metal oxides. Structural properties of (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 high entropy oxide were explored by confirmation of its single-phase Fd-3m spinel structure by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Further, nanocrystalline nature and morphology were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among thermal properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 high entropy oxide is thermally stable up to a temperature of 1200℃. Whereas phase evolution in (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 high entropy oxide before and after sintering was analyzed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Electrochemical studies of (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 high entropy oxide consists of a comparison of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of water and hydrazine hydrate oxidation. Values of activation energy for water oxidation (9.31 kJ mol-1) and hydrazine hydrate oxidation (13.93 kJ mol-1) reveal that (Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Zn,Ni)3O4 high entropy oxide is catalytically more active towards water oxidation as compared to that of hydrazine hydrate oxidation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is also performed to get insight into the kinetics of both types of reactions.

High temperature electrical conductivity was measured for perovskite La0.98Sr0.02MnO3 at 200~130$0^{\circ}C$ as a function of Po2 and 1/T. Perovskite La1-xSrxMnO3 system is the typical oxygen electrode in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Acetate precursors were used for the preparation of mixed water solution and the calcined powders were reacted with Na2CO3 flux in order to obtain highly reactive powders of perovskite La0.98Sr0.02MnO3. The relative density was greatly increased above 90% because of the homogeneous sintering. From the conductivity ($\sigma$)-temperature and conductivity-Po2 at constant temperature, the defect structure of La0.98Sr0.02MnO3 was discussed. From the slope of 1n($\sigma$) vs 1/T, the activation energy of 0.069 and 0.108eV were evaluated for above 40$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. From the relationship between $\sigma$ and Po2, it was found that the decomposition of La0.98Sr0.02MnO3 was occurred at 10-15.5 atm(97$0^{\circ}C$) and 10-11 atm(125$0^{\circ}C$). It is supposed that the improvement of p-type conductivity may be leaded by the increase of Mn4+ concentration through the substitution of divalent/monovalent cations for La site in LaMnO3.

In this study, the highly sensitive $CaSO_4:Tb$ glass capsule type TLDs are fabricated and their trap parameters are determined. The optimum conditions of fabricating of $CaSO_4:Tb$ phosphor was obtained to be in impurity concentration of Tb 1.0 mol% and sintering of $600^{\circ}C$, 2 hr. The glow curve of $CaSO_4:Tb$ consists of three glow peaks and these peaks are isolated by thermal bleaching method. Activation energy of the three glow peaks measured by the initial rise, the peak shape and the heating rate method are 0.70, 0.87, and 1.03 eV. The frequency factors are $1.76{\times}10^9,\;1.74{\times}10^9$, and $9.77{\times}10^8\;s^{-1}$, and the kinetic orders are 1.12, 1.46, and 1.34, respectively. The isolated glow peaks are fitted by least square method and optimum temperature range of the main peak for radiation dosimetry is $230{\sim}295^{\circ}C$.

Electrical behavior of AlN ceramics sintered with $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering aid has been investigated with respect to additional $TiO_2$ dopant. From the impedance spectroscopy, it was found that the grain and grain boundary conductivities have greatly decreased with addition of $TiO_2$ dopant. The $TiO_2$ dopant also increased the activation energy of the grain conductivity by about 0.37 eV; this increase was attributed to the formation of an associate between Al vacancies and Ti ions at the Al sites. Similarly, the electronic conductivity was reduced by $TiO_2$ addition. However, $TiO_2$ solubility in AlN grains was below the detection limit of typical EDX analysis. Grain boundary was clean, without liquid films, but did show yttrium segregation. The transference number of ions was close to 1, showing that AlN is a predominantly ionic conductor. Based on the observed results, the implications of using AlN applications as insulators have been discussed.

Thermoelectric conversion properties of commercial Fe-Si2 and Fe-Si alloy ingots prepared by RF inductive furnace were investigated. As sintering temperature increased, density of the specimen increased and the phase transformation from metallic phases ($\varepsilon$-FeSi, ${\alpha}$-Fe2Si5) to semiconducting phase (${\beta}$-FeSi2) occurred more effectively. The FeSi phase was detected even after 100hrs of annealing treatment. For the Fesi1.95∼FeSi2.05 specimens prepared by RF inductive furnace, the thermoelectric property improved as the composition of the specimen approached to stoichiometric composition FeSi2. Electrical conductivity of the specimen increased with increasing temperatures showing typical semiconducting behavior. From the electrical conductivity measurements, activation energy in the intrinsic region (above about 700 K) was calculated to be approximately 0.46 eV. In spite of non-doping, the Seebeck coefficient for every specimen exhibited p-type conduction due to Si deficiency. Its maximum value was located at about 475 K, and then decreased abruptly with increasing temperatures. The power factor was governed by the Seebeck coefficient of the specimen more significantly than by electrical conductivity.

ZnO:Al films were prepared by an rf magnetron sputtering and targets for the experiments were fabricated by sintering the mixture of ZnO and Al2O3. The most conductive film was obtained from the target with 2.0∼2.2 wt.% of Al2O3. Optical properties studied with spectroscopic ellipsometry showed band gap widening, i.e., the Burstein-Moss shift, with aluminum doping as well as with the elevation of deposition temperature. And it is found that the optical and electrical properties were related to the density of states as well as the variation of donor level. when hydrogen atoms were introduced into the films, the activation energy for the generation of oxygen vacancy was smaller for the films showing higher conductivity. This indicates that the optimum deposition condition for highly conductive ZnO:Al film has strong relation to the optimum doping condition.

La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ precursor solution were prepared by a sol-gel method. La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films were fabricated by a spin-coating method on a Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate. Structural and electrical properties with the variation of sintering temperature were measured. All specimens exhibited a polycrystalline orthorhombic crystal structure, and the average thickness of the specimens coated 6 times decreased from about 427 nm to 383 nm as the sintering temperature increased from 740℃ to 830℃. Electrical resistance decreased as the sintering temperature increased. In the La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films sintered at 830℃, electrical resistivity, TCR, B-value, and activation energy were 0.0374 mΩ·cm, 0.316%/℃, 296 K and 0.023 eV, respectively.
