Detailed aspects of the charge disproportionation (CD) transition for a polycrystalline $La_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{2.96}$ were studied with the X-ray diffraction, $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometer. The crystal structure was found to be rhombohedral with a space group R/3c. The lattice parameters were $a_R=5.4874\;\AA,\;and\;a_R=60.07^{\circ}$, respectively. $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra were taken within a wide range of temperature from 4.2 K up to room temperature. In the low temperature region, the spectra were comprised of two superimposed sextets which originated from $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{5+}$, respectively. This was the antiferromagnetic mixed valence state produced by the charges disproportionated into two different species. In the high temperature region, however, only a singlet from $Fe^{3.6+}$ was observed, indicating that it was a paramagnetic averaged valence state. The CD transition occurred in the temperature range from 175 K to 200 K, in which the two phases coexisted. The origin for the CD transition was explained by the thermally generated fast hopping of electrons. Hysteresis loop showed that there existed a strong antiferromagnetic interaction among magnetic ions. As the temperature increased thru the CD transition temperature, it was very likely that the interaction between $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{5+}$ was replaced by a more stronger one.

$TiO_2$ films on soda-lime-silica glasses were prepared by spin coating-pyrolysis process using titanium naphthenate as a starting material. As-deposited films were pyrolyzed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in air and annealed at 500, 550 and $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in air. Crystallinity of the film was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope were used for characterizing the surface morphology and the surface roughness of the film. After annealing at 550 and $600^{\circ}C$, the X-ray diffraction patterns consist of only anatase peak. Films annealed at 500 and $550^{\circ}C$ exhibited flat surfaces. While with the increase in annealing temperature to $600^{\circ}C$, the $TiO_2$ film showed abnormal growth of three-dimensional needle-shaped grains. For all samples, high transmittance, above 90 % at 500 nm, was obtained at visible range. To investigate photocatalytic properties, IR absorbance associated with the C-H stretching vibrations of a thin solution-cast film of stearic acid under 365 nm (2.4 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$) UV irradiation was estimated.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of $KFeO_2$ powder prepared by ball-mill method, have been studied by x-ray diffraction(XRD), $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) measurements. The crystal structure of $KFeO_2$ powder at room temperature is determined to be an orthorhombic structure of Pbca with its lattice constants $a_0=5.557{\AA},\;b_0=11.227{\AA},\;c_0=15.890{\AA}$ by Rietveld refinement. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra of $KFeO_2$ were taken at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 818 K. The magnetic hyperfine field and isomer shift value at 4.2 K and RT were 519 kOe, 489 kOe and 0.19 mm/s, 0.05 mm/s respectively. The average hyperfine field $H_{hf}(T)$ of the $KFeO_2$ shows a temperature dependence of $[H_{hf}(T)-H_{hf}(0)]/H_{hf}(0)=-0.36(T/T_N)^{5/2}$ for $T/T_N$<0.7, indicative of spin-wave excitation.

Sialolith is one of the most common pathologic conditions found in the salivary glands. The mechanisms responsible for the formation of sialoliths have not been elucidated so far. In this article, the chemical composition and micromorphology of a sialolith of a 58-year old female patient suffering from chronic sialoadenitis of the submandibular gland was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). In a SEM evaluation, the highly mineralized amorphous core surrounded by lamellar and concentric structures was revealed, however no foreign body, organic material, or signs of microorganism were observed in the core of the sialolith. EDX analysis showed the central core was composed of only Ca, O and P, and that a high level of C was detected near the central area as well. These results indicated that the inorganic composition of the sialolith was hydroxyapatite crystals, and that inorganic and organic substances existed around the central cores. This study suggests that the sialolith was composed mainly of hydroxyapatite crystals and the formation of the nucleus of the sialolith in the submandibular gland duct was secondary to sialadenitis, which favors the growth of an inorganic crystalline nucleus.

The title complex, $[Cd(N_3)_2(2-ethylimidazole)_2]$, I, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray single crystallography. The complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, Cc space group with a = 16.200(3), b = 12.926(3), $c=7.007(1){\AA}$, ${\beta}=102.29(3)^{\circ}$, $V=1433.7(5){\AA}^3$, Z = 4, $R_1=0.0239$ and ${\omega}R_2=0.0604$ for 1874 independent reflections. Cd(II) atom has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with four end-on (${\mu}-1$,1) bridging azido ligands and two 2-ethylimidazole ligands bonding through nitrogen atom. The central cadmium(II) atoms are run in parallel to the c-axis and are doubly bridged with neighboring cadmium(II) atoms by the end-on (${\mu}-1$,1) bridging azido ligands. Thus, this complex has a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure in which the 2-ethylimidazole is in the cis conformation.

We tested performance of the 4C1 beamline for analyzing structures of proteins in solution using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at the Pohang Light Source(PLS). Structurally well-known proteins such as lysozyme and $Bcl-XL(\vartriangle TM/\vartriangle loop)$ were used for the study. Low resolution solution structures of lysozyme and $Bcl-XL(\vartriangle TM/\vartriangle loop)$ were obtained at a resolution of at least i.2 nm, and the structures were basically same as those calculated from the crystal structures of the proteins. We also used $Bcl-XL(\vartriangle TM/\vartriangle loop)$ with a long flexible loop attached [$Bcl-XL(\vartriangleTM))$] and obtained significantly different data from $Bcl-XL(\vartriangle TM/\vartriangle loop)$, although the electron density map of the loop is known to be invisible from the crystal structure of $Bcl-XL(\vartriangleTM))$. We confirm that SAXS experiment is a powerful tool for the structural study of proteins in solution and the 4Cl beamline at the PLS is well-equipped and suitable for the protein solution SAXS experiment.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene; P(VDF-TrFE)) is one of the most promising electroactive polymers with numerous application potentials in many fields of industry. Because of its good electro-mechanical properties P(VDF-TrFE) has been used for a number of sensors and actuators and also can be used for monitoring composite structure behaviors as a sensor. Three different ways (Electrical poling, annealing-cooling, and pressing) to enhance ${\beta}$-phase of P(VDF-TrFE) film were carried out. A microscopic analysis was conducted using X-ray diffraction to investigate the effect of such treatments on piezoelectric properties of P(VDF-TrFE) film. From the results, poling, annealing-cooling, and pressing were all effective to enhance ${\beta}$ crystallinity of P(VDF-TrFE) film and the maximum increase rate was 62.80% from 45.29% of the control group.

Lead scandium niobate powders were prepared by a molten salt synthesis method using KCl as a flux. Variations in phase formation and particle morphology were investigated for the temperature range $700^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$. Pure $Pb(Sc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_3$ perovskite phase was formed at $850^{\circ}C$ after 2hrs and the average particle size of powder was below 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The results are discussed with respect to DTA, X-ray diffraction, and microstructural characterization data.
