Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick film with a pure tetragonal phase was prepared on patterned Pt electrodes by an ink dropping method. Nanostructured $SnO_2$ powder with a diameter of 10 nm was obtained by a modified hydrazine method. Then the ink solution was fabricated by mixing water, glycerol, bicine and the Pd-doped $SnO_2$ powder. When the Pd doping concentration was increased, the grain size of the Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick film became smaller. However, an agglomerated and extruded surface morphology was observed for the films with Pd addition over 4 wt%. The orthorhombic phase disappeared even at a low Pd doping concentration and a PdO peak was obtained for a high Pd doping concentration. The crack-free Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick films were able to successfully fill the $30{\mu}m$ gap of the patterned Pt electrodes by the optimized ink dropping method. The prepared 3 wt% Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick films showed monoxide gas responses ($R_{air}/R_{CO}$) of 4.0 and 35.6 for 100 and 5000 ppm, respectively.

The increasing interest in light weight materials coupled to the need for cost -effective processing have combined to create a significant opportunity for aluminum P/M. particularly in the automotive industry in order to reduce fuel emissions and improve fuel economy at affordable prices. Additional potential markets for Al PIM parts include hand tools. Where moving parts against gravity represents a challenge; and office machinery, where reciprocating forces are important. Aluminum PIM adds light weight, high compressibility. low sintering temperatures. easy machinability and good corrosion resistance to all advantages of conventional iron bm;ed P/rv1. Current commercial alloys are pre-mixed of either the AI-Si-Mg or AL-Cu-Mg-Si type and contain 1.5% ethylene bis-stearamide as an internal lubricant. The powder is compacted in closed dies at pressure of 200-500Mpa and sintered in nitrogen at temperatures between $580~630^{\circ}C$ in continuous muffle furnace. For some applications no further processing is required. although most applications require one or more secondary operations such as sizing and finishing. These sccondary operations improve the dimension. properties or appearance of the finished part. Aluminum is often considered difficult to sinter because of the presence of a stable surface oxide film. Removal of the oxide in iron and copper based is usually achieved through the use of reducing atmospheres. such as hydrogen or dissociated ammonia. In aluminum. this occurs in the solid st,lte through the partial reduction of the aluminum by magncsium to form spinel. This exposcs the underlying metal and facilitates sintering. It has recently been shown that < 0.2% Mg is all that is required. It is noteworthy that most aluminum pre-mixes contain at least 0.5% Mg. The sintering of aluminum alloys can be further enhanced by selective microalloying. Just 100ppm pf tin chnnges the liquid phase sintering kinetics of the 2xxx alloys to produce a tensile strength of 375Mpa. an increilse of nearly 20% over the unmodified alloy. The ductility is unnffected. A similar but different effect occurs by the addition of 100 ppm of Pb to 7xxx alloys. The lend changes the wetting characteristics of the sintering liquid which serves to increase the tensile strength to 440 Mpa. a 40% increase over unmodified aIloys. Current research is predominantly aimed at the development of metal matrix composites. which have a high specific modulus. good wear resistance and a tailorable coefficient of thermal expnnsion. By controlling particle clustering and by engineering the ceramic/matrix interface in order to enhance sintering. very attractive properties can be achicved in the ns-sintered state. I\t an ils-sintered density ilpproaching 99%. these new experimental alloys hnve a modulus of 130 Gpa and an ultimate tensile strength of 212 Mpa in the T4 temper. In contest. unreinforcecl aluminum has a modulus of just 70 Gpa.

An interlaboratory wear testing was performed in order to understand the friction behaviors and the wear mechanisms of the sintered composites. The specimens were the sintered bronze matrix composites having various contents of friction additives, friction control agents and reinforcements. The variation of the wear characteristics according to the constituents of the composites as well as the wear conditions was investigated by SEM, EPMA, OM, the hardness testing and the measurement of friction. The specimen having glass fiber as the matrix reinforcement showed a remarkable increase in wear resistance as increasing the content of glass fiber. Graphite particles in the composites exhibited the lubricating effect and also resulted in the lowering strength of the matrix. Addition of Mo powder to the composites led to the deterioration of wear properties at the room temperature, however, an enhanced wear properties were obtained in the containing Mo at an elevated temperature.

SnS-$TiO_2$ nanocomposites are synthesized using simple, cheap, and less toxic $SnCl_2$ as the tin (II) precursor. The prepared nanoparticles are characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The XRD and TEM results indicate that the prepared product has SnS nanoparticles and a grain diameter of 30 nm. The DRS demonstrate that SnS-$TiO_2$ possesses the absorption profile across the entire visible light region. The generation of reactive oxygen species is detected through the oxidation reaction from 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO). It is found that the photocurrent density and photocatalytic effect increase with the modified SnS. Excellent catalytic degradation of Texbrite BA-L (TBA) solution is observed using the SnS-$TiO_2$ composites under visible light irradiation. It is proposed that both the strong visible light absorption and the multiple exciton excitations contribute to the high visible light photocatalytic activity.

Antitumor polyacetylenic alcohol, panaxytriol (Cl7 H26O3), was isolated and purified from a powder of the root of Pnnnx tin.1.encl C.A. Meyer. Panaxytriol possesses unusual property of being soluble in both water and organic solvents. Panaxytriol inhibited the growth of various kinds of human cultured cell lines in dose-dependent fashion in vitro. The in vivo effects of panaxytriol were tested against C57BL/6 mice transplanted with Bl6 melanomas. Panaxytriol (8 and 40 mg/kg) administered intra-muscularly(im) produced significant tumor growth delays in mice. Although a detailed mechanism of growth inhibition by panaxytriol is unknown, preliminary results appear to implicates a surface membrane site of action. And its action seems to be more dose-dependent than time-dependent. Finally, panaxytriol pharmacokinetics was evaluated in mice given single 8 mg/kg doses intraperitoneally (ip) or im. Serum panaxytriol content was measured using both tumor growth inhibitory assay and a gas chromatographic method. The maximum serum panaxytriol content after ip and im administration was 35.0 and 1.6 $\mu$g/ml respectively. These results indicate that the compound may act as cytotoxic substance even in patients.

In this study we present the reaction mechanism of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) nanoparticles synthesized by microwave-assisted chemical synthesis. We performed reactions every 10 minutes in order to identify different phases during quaternary CZTSe formation. The powder samples were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that in the first minutes copper phases are predominant, then copper and tin secondary phases react to form ternary phase. The quaternary phase is formed at 50 minutes while ternary and secondary phases are consumed. At 60 minutes pure quaternary CZTSe phase is present. After 60 minutes the quaternary phase decomposes in the previous ternary and secondary phases, which indicates that 60 minutes is ideal reaction time. The EDS analysis of pure quaternary nanocrystals (CZTSe) showed stoichiometric relations similar to the reported research in the literature, which falls in the range of Cu/(Zn+Sn): 0.8-1.0, Zn/Sn: 1.0-1.20. In conclusion, the evolution pathway of CZTSe synthesized by this novel method is similar to other synthesis methods reported before. Nanoparticles synthesized in this study present desirable properties in order to use them in solar cell and photoelectrochemical cell applications.

Sb doped SnO2(ATO: Antinomy doped Tin Oxide) thin films were prepared by a DC magnetron spttuering method using an oxide target and the electrical characteristics of ATO films were investigated. The experimen-tal conditions are as follows :Ar flow rate ; 0~100 sccm deposition tempera-ture ; 250~40$0^{\circ}C$ DC sputter powder ; 150~550W and sputteing pressure ; 2~7 mTorr, The thickness of depositied ATO films were 600$\AA$~1100 $\AA$ ranges. The resistivity of ATO films was decreased due to the increase of the crystallinity of ATO films with deposition temperature. The decrease of carrier concentration of films with the increase of oxygen flow rate and working pressure is responsible for the increase of resistivity. Increasing of sputtering power raised the resistivity of films by decreasing the carrier mobility.

A novel multi-layer type micro gas sensor for $NO_X$ detection was designed and fabricated. Micro platform defined as type II-1 in this article for micro gas sensor was fabricated using the MEMS technology to meet the demanding needs of lower power consumption. Nano composite materials were fabricated with nanosized tin oxide powder and $\underline{m}$ulti-$\underline{w}$all $\underline{c}$arbon $\underline{n}$ano $\underline{t}$ube (MWCNT) to improve sensitivity. We investigated characteristics of fabricated multi-layer type micro gas sensor with $NO_2$ concentration variations at constant 2.2 V. Sensitivity (S) of micro gas sensor were observed to increase from 2.9, to 7.4 and 11.2 as concentrations of $NO_2$ gases increased from 2.4 ppm, to 3.6 ppm and 4.9 ppm. When 2.4 ppm of $NO_2$ gas was applied, response time and recovery time of micro gas sensor were recorded as 101 seconds and 142 seconds, respectively.

The orientational cross-over phenomena in an RF sputtering growth of TiN films were studied in an in-situ, real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering experiment. For the films grown with pure Ar sputtering gas, the cross-over from the more strained (002)-oriented grains to the less strained (111)-oriented grains occurred as the film thickness was increased. As the sputtering power was increased, the cross-over thickness, at which the growth orientation changes from the <002> to the <111> direction, was decreased. The addition of $N_2$ besides Ar as sputtering gas suppressed the cross-over, and consequently resulted in the (002) preferred orientation without exhibiting the cross-over. We attribute the observed cross-over phenomena to the competition between the surface and the strain energy. The x-ray powder diffraction, the x-ray reflectivity, and the ex-situ AFM surface topology study consistently suggest that the microscopic growth front was in fact always the (002) planes. In the initial stage of growth, the (002) planes were aligned to the substrate surface to minimize the surface energy. At later stages, however, the (002) growth front tilted away from the surface by about $60^{\circ}$ to relax the strain, which caused the cross-over of the preferred growth direction to the <111> direction.

In this study, $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors in its application to field emission displays and electroluminescence were synthesized through the precipitation method and $Mn^{2+}$ ions. A green luminescence activator, $Cr^{3+}$ ions, and a red luminescence activator were separately doped into $ZnGa_2O_4$, which was then screen printed to an indium tin oxide substrate. The thick films of the $ZnGa_2O_4$ were deposited with the various thicknesses using nano-sized powder. The best luminescence characteristics were shown at a thickness of 60 ${\mu}m$. Additionally, green-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn^{2+}$ and red-emission $ZnGa_2O_4:Cr^{3+}$ phosphor thick films, which have superior characteristics, were manufactured through the screen-printing method. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors prepared through the precipitation method have wide application as phosphor of the full color emission.
