We synthesized nano-sized $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ ($x=0.1{\sim}0.4$) cathode catalyst for the zinc air secondary batteries by citrate method, And we measured the cathode's electrochemical characteristics according to content of strontium compose the cathode catalyst. We controlled the pH of precursor solution by 10 in the process of manufacturing the precursor, We heat treated the prepared precursor at various calcination temperature ($500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$), and examined the optimum calcinations temperature by XRD analysis and electrochemical evaluation. We examined the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) and OER (oxygen evolution reaction) performance of the prepared $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ catalyst powder. When we consider ORR and OER performance simultaneously, $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}CoO_3$ catalyst has shown the best performance because of its lowest voltage deference between charge and discharge.

Perovskite type oxides of $SrTiO_3,SrZrO_3,and\;SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ have been systematically synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$and $1550^{\circ}C$ with specimens containing additions of up to x=0.9 of zirconium by solid state reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the compound $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ has cubic structure. The lattice paramters of $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ solid solutions obey the Vegard's law and fairly large increase in volume can acompany the formation of this solution with increasing Zr content(X). Assuming the lattice constants of perovskite type compounds $A(B_{1-x}B'_x)O_3$where $B_{1-x}B'_x$ is $Ti_{1-x}Zr_x$, to be a linear function of the ionic radii of B and B' ions, the disordered ion pair of $Ti^{4+}$and $Zr^{4+}$ was verified from the lattice constants of a series compounds varying x=0,0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.9, and 1.0 with known isovalent pairs.

The variations of certain major and trace elements of the Onjong granite mass was studied on the basis of petrological and geochemical characteristics and compared with those of the Eonyang-Yucheon granite masses in order to investigate the geochemical differences of the granitic rocks in relation to mineralization between Pb-Zn ore district and Pb-Zn-Mo-W ore district in Kyeongsang basin. The Onjong granite mass is classified into granodiorite and monzo-granite, and the Eonyang-Yucheon granite masses into monzo-granite by the Streckeisen's diagram. Between both granite masses there are clear differences in contents of certain major elements and lithophile trace elements. The former have high contents of Ca (2.94%), Mg (1.66%) and Sr (365 ppm), and low contents of K (3.52%), Na (3.51%), Rb (116 ppm), Ba (640 ppm) and Li (18.9 ppm), whereas the latter have high contents of K (4.02%), Na (4.28%), Rb (145 ppm), Ba (695 ppm) and Li (19.3 ppm), and low contents of Ca (1.42%), Mg (0.43%) and Sr (161 ppm). Except for Mo, there are not clear differences in chalcophile trace elements between two granite masses: the Onjong granite mass has higher Mo content (7.1 ppm) lnan that (1.7 ppm) of the Eonyang-Yucheon granite masses, but Pb and Zn contents are similar between the Onjong granite mass (Pb=8.7 ppm, Zn=37.1 ppm) and the Eonyang-Yucheon granite masses (Pb=7.8 ppm, Zn=39.8 ppm). Ca and Sr contents of the Onjong granite mass (Ca> 1.5%, Sr> 270 ppm) are higher than those of the Eonyang- Yucheon granite masses (Ca<1.5%, Sr<270ppm), and Rb/Sr, Rb-Rb/Sr and K-Rb/Sr ratios are clearly distinguishable between the Onjong granite mass(Rb/Sr<0.51, Rb-Rb/Sr>250 and K-Rb/Sr>5.2) and the Eonyang- Yucheon granite masses (Rb/Sr>0.51, Rb-Rb/Sr<250 and K-Rb/Sr<5.0). Thus, variations of certain major and trace elements and ratios are applicable as geochemical index to distinguish the types of mineralization of the ore districts related to the Cretaceous granitic rocks in the Kyeongsang basin.

$(Ba_{0.6-x}Sr_{0.4}Ca_x)TiO_3$ + ywt% MgO (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20, y=0.0~3.0) ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state reaction, and their structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio and MgO doping content. A second phase, representative of MgO, appears in 3wt% MgO-doped BSCT specimens. Average grain sizes decreased with increasing amounts of MgO, and the BSCT(40/40/20) specimens doped with 3wt% MgO showed a value of $9.3{\mu}m$. The Curie temperature and relative dielectric constant at room temperature were decreased with increasing MgO doping content and Ca composition ratio. The relative dielectric constant was non-linearly decreased as the field strength is increased. The tunability was increased with decreasing a Ca content and the BSCT(50/40/10) specimen doped with 1.0wt% MgO content showed the highest value of 6.4% at 5kV/cm.

Microstructures and dielectric properties of (Sr$\_$1-x/Ca$\_$x/) TiO$_3$-0.006Nb$_2$O$\_$5/ (0.05$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) boundary layer ceramics were investigated. The samples fired in a reducing atmosphere(N$_2$) were painted on the surface with CuO paste for the subsequent grain boundary diffusion, and then annealed at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The metal oxide of CuO infiltrated by thermal diffusion from surface of sample presents continuously in not grain but only grain boundary, and makes up thin boundary phase. The SEM photo, and EDAX revealed that CuO was penetrated rapidly into the bulk along the grain boundaries during the annealing. The average grain sizes is continuously increased as the content of substitutional Ca is increased from 5[mol%] to 15[mol%], but the average grain size of the sample with content of 20[mol%] Ca is slightly decreased. In the samples with content of 10∼15[mol%] Ca, excellent dielectric properties were obtained as follows; dielectric constant <25000, dielectric loss <0.3[%], and capacitance change rate as a function of temperature <${\pm}$10[%], respectively. All samples in this study exhibited dielectric relaxation with frequency as a functior of the temperature.

We investigated the effect of substrate temperature, chemical composition and post-deposition heat-treatment on the crystal structure and electrical transport of $La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_{3-{\delta}}$(0.19${\leq}x{\leq}$0.31) thin films. As-prepared $La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_{3-{\delta}}$ films grown at $500^{\circ}C$ by sputter techniques were found to have the pseudo-tetragonal system(a/c=0.97) and a highly preferential <001> orientation. The films were changed to be of the cubic system by post-deposition annealing at around $900^{\circ}C$. A main target of $La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3$ as well as auxliary targets of $La_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}MnO_3$ ceramics were co-sputtered to control the chemical composition of the film. The Sr content(x) of the film ranged from 0.19 to 0.31, depending on the number of the auxiliary target. When x increased from 0.19 to 0.31, the electrical resistivity of the film decreased and the transition temperature between metal and semiconductor shifted to higher temperature. With a magnetic field of 0.18 T, the magneto-resistance ratio (MR(%) = (${\rho}_o-{\rho}_H/{\rho}_H$) of the $La_{0.69}Sr_{0.31}MnO_3$ thin film was about 390%.

This study evaluates the influence of strontium addition and holding time on mechanical properties for Al-10.5wt%Si-2wt%Cu secondary die-casting alloy and the measured electrical conductivity of modified alloys. A general improvement in the mechanical properties of the alloy was observed after adding the strontium. Ultimate tensile strength, elongation and electrical conductivity of modified alloys were improved by increasing strontium content and holding time. From these results, the optimal strontium content and holding time were identified on the mechanical properties of Al-10.5wt%Si-2wt%Cu secondary die-casting alloys.

In this work, we pointed out that Sr substitution for Ca leads to modify the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of $Pr_{0.7}Ca_{0.3-x}Sr_xMnO_3$ compounds. Analyzing temperature dependence of magnetization, M(T), proves that the Curie temperature ($T_C$) increased with increasing Sr content (x); $T_C$ value is found to be 130-260 K for x = 0.0-0.3, respectively. Using the phenomenological model and M(T,H) data measured at several applied magnetic field, the magnetocaloric effect of $Pr_{0.7}Ca_{0.3-x}Sr_xMnO_3$ compounds has been investigated through their temperature and magnetic field dependences of magnetic entropy change ${\Delta}S_m$(T,H) and the change of the specific heat change ${\Delta}C_P$(T,H). Under an applied magnetic field change of 10 kOe, the maximum value of $-{\Delta}S_m$ is found to be about $3J/kg{\cdot}K$, and the maximum and minimum values of ${\Delta}C_P$(T) calculated to be about ${\pm}60J/kg{\cdot}K$ for x = 0.3 sample. Additionally, the critical behaviors of $Pr_{0.7}Ca_{0.3-x}Sr_xMnO_3$ compounds around their $T_C$ have been also analyzed. Results suggested a coexistence of the ferromagnetic short- and long-range interactions in samples. Moreover, Sr-doping favors establishing the short-range interactions.

Ferroelectric properties of{{{{ { { { {SrBi }_{2 }Ta }_{2-x }Nb }_{x }O }_{9 } }} (SBIN) thin films were affected by the amount of Bi content in SBTN. The addition of Bi into the SBTN films could be accomplished by heat treating SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN het-erostructures fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. The variation of Bi content was controlled by changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN heterostructure from 50 to 400$\AA$. As changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in Bi2O3 films was increased from 0 to 100$\AA$ the grain grew faster and the ferroelectric pro-perties were improved. On the other hand when the thickness of Bi2O3 films was thicker than 150$\AA$ the fer-roelectric properties were deteriorated Especially for SBTN thin films inserted by 400$\AA$ Bi2O3 layer a Bi2Phase appeared as a second phase resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The maximum remanent po-larization (2Pr) and coercive field(Ec) were obtained for the SBTN/Bi2O3/(100$\AA$)/SBTN thin films. In this case 2Pr and Ec were 14.75 $\mu$C/cm2 and 53.4kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V respectively.
