[ $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$ ] thin films were fabricated on $LaAlO_3$(100) substrate by TFA-MOD process. Yttrium-excess (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 $at\%$) coating solution was prepared by adding extra amount of yttrium into a stoichiometric(Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3) TFA precursor solution. Results are presented concerning the influence of excess yttrium additions on the microstructure development and superconducting properties of $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$ film. Large sized CuO particles was observed by SEM EDS investigation. The addition of excess yttrium affected little on $T_c$ of $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$ film. $J_c$ of YBCO film was enhanced with excess yttrium addition. Jc maximum of $2.21\;MA/cm^2$ (77 K, self field) appeared with the $15\;at\%$ addition of excess yttrium. With further yttrium addition up to $20\;at\%$, Jc decreased down to $0.9\;MA/cm^2$.

[ $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ ] films have been prepared on $LaAlO_3$ (100) single-crystal substrates by the metal organic deposition using dichloroacetate precursors (DCA-MOD). DCA precursor solutions with different composition such as; Yttrium-excess(15 at%), barium-poor(25 at%), and a stoichiometric(Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3) were prepared in order to investigate the effects of precursor composition on the properties of YBCO films prepared by DCA-MOD method. Coated films were calcined at low temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$ in flowing humid oxygen atmosphere. Conversion heat treatment was performed $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in flowing Ar gas containing 1000 ppm oxygen with a humidity of 9.45%. For the film prepared using excess yttrium composition, high critical current density ($J_c$) of $>2MA/cm^2$ was obtained whereas, for the films prepared using barium-poor composition, $J_c$ was lower than $1MA/cm^2$.

Stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric $Y_{3-x}Fe_{5+x}O_{12})$ polycrystalline samples (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30, -0.05, -0.10, -0.30) were prepared by solid state reaction method. The magnetic properties of the sample were investigated by FMR (ferromagnetic resonance) technique at microwave frequency 5.11 GHz (G-band) and 23.39 GHz (K-band) respectively. The spectroscopic splitting factor g were estimated to be 2.04~2.35 from the derivative absorption lines. As the samples became yttrium $(Y^{3+})$ excess and iron $(Fe^{3+})$ excess, Magnetizations were decreased. But resonance linewidth were increased. To investigate the anisotropy, the angular dependence of resonance magnetic fields were measured. Angular dependence of effective magnetizations were measured by FMR from 77 K to 300 K at K-band microwave frequency (23.39 GHz) and the saturation magnetizations were measured by VSM. The Bloch coefficients B and C were determined by fitting. $M_{eff}(0)$ was obtained by the extrapolation from 80 K. From this result, the spin wave stiffness constant D $(about\; 162~206 \;eV{\AA}^2)$and average square range of exchange interaction $$$(about \;5.84~12.13\;{\AA}^2)$ were determined.

Recently developed Plasma Display Panels (PDP) require phosphors of high luminance at Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) excitation. The present investigation developed new PDP phosphors using combinatorial chemistry method. We applied T $b^{3+}$ -activated yttrium gadolinium phosphates system to our combinatorial fine-tuning technique. As a result, the optimum composition was determined to be (G $d_{0.74}$ $Y_{0.11}$T $b_{0.15}$) $P_{1.15}$ $O_{\delta}$ through the two-step combinatorial screening process including excess phosphorous and Gd replacement. We found that the sample of the optimum composition shows a higher luminescence efficiency at VUV excitation and a shorter decay time than the commercially available Z $n_2$ $SiO_4$:Mn phosphor.

The $Pb_{0.94}Y_{0.04}[(Zr_{0.6}Sn_{0.4})_{0.915}Ti_{0.085}]O_3$ ceramics which corresponded to the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase boundary composition were prepared for digital-type-piezoelectric/electrostrictive device application. Their dielectric, field-induced polarization (P) and strain (X) behaviors were studied with variations in sintering condition and excess PbO content. The orthorhombic structure of specimens was hardly affected either by excess PbO addition or sintering temperature. With increasing excess PbO content, grains tended to be smaller and rounded ones, and the optimum sintering temperature was lowered. Excess PbO addition stabilized the antiferroelectric phase of the specimen effectively, which was confirmed by P-E and X-E analyses. Also the digital-type-strain character was found to be enhanced despite of slight increase in phase transition (AFE-FE) field and electrical resistivity, and decrease in maximum strain. These results were explained in terms of possible lattice defects and domain wall motion.

The x-values in the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas $YO_{1.5+x}\;and\;HoO_{1.5+x}$, have been measured in the temperature range from 700$^{\circ}$C to 1000$^{\circ}$C under oxygen pressures from $2{\times}l0^{-1}\;to\;1{\times}10^{-6}$ atm by gravimetric method. The observed x-values increase with increasing temperature and oxygen pressure. The enthalpies of formation of excess oxygen in yttrium oxide and holmium oxide decrease with decreasing oxygen pressure and are all positive values representing an endothermic process. The 1/n values calculated from the slopes of the plots of log x vs. log $P_{O2}$ increase with temperature and are positive values which means the higher oxygen pressure dependence at higher temperature. We have examined the nonstoichiometric defect and conduction mechanism from x-values and thermodynamic data.
