Dielectric and Piezoelectric properties of complex perovskite 0.92Pb($Zr_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_{3}-(0.08-x)Pb(Cu_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-xPb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.080$) (PZT-PCN-PMN) system were investigated as a function of PMN content. With the increase of PMN content of the sintered specimens, tetragonal phase was coexisted with rhombohedral phase, the dielectric constant was decreased, mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) was inceased, and optimal sintering temperature was increased up to 1050$^{\circ}C$. For the composition of x = 0.064 sintered at 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, 1939 of maximum mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$), 57$\%$ of electromechanical coupling factor ($k_{p}$), and 1100$^{\circ}C$ of dielectric constant, 0.37$\% $ of dielectric loss (tan $\delta$) were obtained.

In this paper, the structure, dieletric and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Fe$_{\frac{1}{2}}$/Sb$_{\frac{1}{2}}$$O_3$+ Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$ Ti$_{0.48}$ )O$_3$system ceramics were investigated and the effects of donor Nb$^{+5}$ on these properties were characterized for the application of the actuator. In xPb(Fe$_{\frac{1}{2}}$Sb$_{\frac{1}{2}}$)O$_3$+ (1-x) Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$ Ti$_{0.48}$ )O$_3$system ceramics, tetragonality decreased as x and Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ wt% were increased. In 0.05Pb(Fe$_{\frac{1}{2}}$Sb$_{\frac{1}{2}$}$)O$_3$+ 0.95 Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$ Ti$_{0.48}$ )O$_3$system, grain size was smallest but showed best dielectric and piezoelectric properties. The specimen sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ in 0.05pb(Fe$_{\frac{1}{2}}$Sb$_{\frac{1}{2}}$ )O$_3$+ 0.95 Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$ Ti$_{0.48}$ )O$_3$+ Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ 0.6wt% exihibited best piezoeletric properties such as $K^{p}$ =64%, d$_{33}$ =490 [$\times$10$^{-12}$ C/N] and strain was 1320[$\times$10$^{-6}$ Δ$\ell$/$\ell$]at AC 6kV/cm

Conventional decontamination methods utilize water-based systems, which generate high amounts of secondary wastes. Herein, we describe an environmentally benign decontamination method using liquid and supercritical $CO_2$. The use of $CO_2$ as a solvent affords effective waste reduction by its ability to be recycled, thereby leaving be hind only the contaminants upon its evaporation. In this study, a $CO_2$ solution process was assessed using t-salen(t-butylsalen), DC18C6 (dicyclohexano-18Crown6), 8-HQN(8-hydroxyquinoline), NEt4PFOSA(perfluoro-1-octanesulfonic acid tetra-ethyl ammonium salt), and NEt4PFOA(pentadecafluorooctanoic acid ammonium salt) to extract spiked radioactive contaminants(Nb,Zr,Co,Sr) from an inert sample matrix, namely filter paper. With the static extraction method, Sr was extracted with a maximum extraction rate of 97%, and Nb was extracted with a maximum extraction rate of 75%. Additionally, we were also able to extract Co and Zr with maximum extract ion ratesof 73% and 64%, respectively.

Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) alloy has been widely used as an alternative to bone due to its excellent biocompatibility. However, it still has many problems, including a high elastic modulus and toxicity. Therefore, nontoxic biomaterials with a low elastic modulus should be developed. However, the fabrication of a uniform coating is challenging. Moreover, the coating layer on Ti and Ti alloy substrates can be peeled off after implantation. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to produce bulk Ti and Ti alloy with hydroxyapatite (HA) composites. In this study, Ti, Nb, and Zr powders, which are biocompatible elements, were milled in a mixing machine (24h) and by planetary mechanical ball milling (1h, 4h, and 6h), respectively. Ti-35%Nb-7%Zr and Ti-35%Nb-7%Zr-10%HA composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at $1000^{\circ}C$ under 70MPa using mixed and milled powders. The effects of HA addition and milling time on the biocompatibility and physical and mechanical properties of the Ti-35%Nb-7%Zr-(10%HA) alloys have been investigated. $Ti_2O$, CaO, $CaTiO_3$, and $Ti_xP_y$ phases were formed by chemical reaction during sintering. Vickers hardness of the sintered composites increases with increased milling time and by the addition of HA. The biocompatibilty of the HA added Ti-Nb-Zr alloys was improved, but the sintering ability was decreased.

Ta$_2$O$_5$, Nb$_2$O$_5$, SnO$_2$ and ZrO$_2$ in tin-slag samples were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using the dilution parameter method and the analytical results were compared with the data obtained by standard calibration curve method. Tin-slag samples and one standard sample having very similar composition to the tin-slags were diluted with a proper diluent (La$_2$O$_3$) to the ratio of 1: 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 3 and 1 : 4. After measuring the X-ray intensities of original and diluted samples, the values of dilution parameters were calculated by using the dilution parameter equation. Without any calibration curve, the analytical results were calculated from the equation including the dilution parameter term. The results were in good agreement with the reference data by the standard calibration curve method.

상용 Zircaloy-4보다 성능이 우수한 고연소도용 Zr 신합금을 개발하는 것을 목표로 외국에서 개발중인 12종의 신합금 피복관에 대한 특성평가, 부식기구 규명 연구, 국내에서 제조된 Zr 신합금의 특성평가를 실시하였다. 외국 피복관의 부식특성 평가로 부터 Sn을 0.6-1.0 wt.% 첨가하고 Nb을 0.4 wt.% 첨가하는 것이 내식성 관점에서 바람직함을 알 수 있었다. 여러 가지 LiOH용액에서의 부식기구 연구를 통해 수소화물이 부식가속의 원인임을 알 수 있었으며 수소화물 형성을 억제하는데는 Nb첨가가 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 토대로 신합금의 개발방안을 수립하였으며 예비적으로 합금을 설계. 제조하여 특성시험을 실시한 결과, Zr-Sn-Nb-FeCr 합금이 우수한 내식성을 보이며 Fe, Mo는 강도 증가 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 종합적으로 평가하여 신합금을 설계하고 노외성능 평가를 통해서 신합금을 선정한후, 단계적으로 하나로를 이용한 노내성능 평가를 실시할 예정이다.

Hydride blisters were formed on the outer surface of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube by a non- uniform steady thermal diffusion process. A thermal gradient was applied to the pressure tube with a heat bath kept at a temperature of 415$^{\circ}C$ and an aluminum cold finger cooled with flowing water of 15$^{\circ}C$. Optical microscopy and tree-dimensional laser profilometry were used to characterize the hydride blisters with different hydrogen concentrations and thermal diffusion time. Hydride blisters were expected to start at a hydrogen concentration of 30 - 70 ppm and a thermal diffusion time of 4 - 6$\times$10$^{5}$ sec. The hydride blister size increases with higher hydrogen concentrations and longer thermal diffusion time . Some of the samples revealed cracks on the hydride blisters. The ratio of hydride blister depth to height was estimated as approximately 8: 1.

Pb(Zr, Ti)O$^{3}$-Pb(Mg, Nb)O$^{3}$계에 MnO$_{2}$첨가량을 변화시켜 소결성, 미세구조, 유전상수, 비저항 및 압전특성에 미치는 영향을 XRD, EDAX 및 SEM을 이용하여 미세구조를 관찰하고 실험을 통하여 전기적 성질에 미치는 영향을 밝혔다. 비저항의 변화없이 그레인 성장이 억제되는 $MnO_{2}$의 첨가량은 0.4wt%이었으며 이때 분말의 합성이 촉진되어 소성된 시편의 밀도가 증가하였다. 그러나 고상반응의 범위를 벗어나는 과잉 $MnO_{2}$는 편석이 되어 그레인 경계상에 모임이 확인되었고 또한 기공을 형성하여 밀도를 낮추었다. $Mn^{+4}$는 $Mg^{+2}$ 와 치환되어 페로브스카이트 구조의 "A" 결핍을 유발하였으며 이것이 비저강을 감소시키는 원인으로 밝혀졌다.감소시키는 원인으로 밝혀졌다.
