We have investigated the optical and electrochromic properties of molybdenum oxide(MoO$_3$) films by thermal evaporation. The MoO$_3$films deposited at substrate temperatures below 200$^{\circ}C$ are found to be amorphous and annealed films at temperature 300$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in air are crystalline. The optical energy gap calculated from the transmittance and reflectance spectra of MoO$_3$ films is near 2.75 eV and 3.25 eV for amorphous films and crystalline films, respectively. The MoO$_3$ thin films exhibit light blue to dark blue optical modulation on lithium intercalation and have a uniform transmittance modulation over a wavelength range of 300∼1100 nmcompared to tungsten oxide films.

Metal-Induced Crystallization (MIC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) using aluminum and nickel as catalysts were performed with a variation of metal thickness and temperature. Raman results showed that the crystallization of a-Si depended on the thickness of aluminum while not on nickel. Nickel that forms silicide nodules during annealing simply catalyzed the formation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) while aluminum was consumed and transferred during MIC, which resulted in more complex microstructural characteristics. Crystalline silicons after NIC had elongated shape with a twin along the long axis. Morphological change after Aluminum-Induced Crystallization (AIC) showed more equiaxial grains. The nucleation and growth mechanism of AIC was discussed.

In the present work, we investigate the basic physical and thermal properties and electrical resistance change due to phase change in chalcogenide-based $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ and $Ge_2Se_2Te_5$ thin films. The phase transition from amorphous to crystalline states, and vice versa, of $Ge_1Se_1Te_2$ and $Ge_2Se_2Te_5$ thin films by applying electrical pulses have been studied. The reversible phase transition between the amorphous and crystalline states, which is accompanied by a considerable change in electrical resistivity, is exploited as means to store bits of information.

In odder to investigate the magnetic properties of CoCr-based bilayered thin films on kind of underlayer, we introduced amorphous Si layer to Co-Cr(-Ta) magnetic layer as underlayer. First, we prepared CoCr and CoCrTa single layer using the Facing Targets Sputtering system to investigate theirs properties. It was revealed that with increasing the film thickness of CoCr, CoCrTa single layer, crystalline orientation and perpendicular coercivity was improved. The CoCrTa thin film showed bettor crystalline and magnetic characteristics than CoCr thin film. As a result of investigating magnetic properties of CoCr and CoCrTa magnetic layer on introducing the Si underlayer, perpendicular coercivity and saturation magnetization of CoCr/Si and CoCrTa/Si bilayered thin film were decreased due to the increased grain size and diffusion of Si atoms to magnetic layer. And they showed constant with increasing the film thickness of Si thin film. However, in case of CoCrTa/Si bilayered thin film, in-plane coercivity was controlled low at about 250Oe. The c-axis orientations of CoCr/si and CoCrTa/Si bilayered thin film showed a good crystalline characteristics as about $2^{\circ}$.

In this paper, the possibilities of the laser overlap spot welding were studied to utilize the advantageous properties of amorphous metal foils. In order to estimate the usage of amorphous metals foils as structural members, the tensile shear strength and the fracture features were investigated. Although the crystalline zone on the surface was formed, it was not the direct cause of the fracture of the weld. The fracture of the weld resulted from the geometry discontinuity between the workpiece and the protrusion zone, which was formed during the weld process. The vein pattern - the typical feature of the fracture of the amorphous metal - was formed on the fracture surface. The tensile shear stress was reached to 1200 N/㎟ (2-foils overlap welding) and 900 N/㎟ (10-foils overlap welding), whereas the tensile strength of the workpiece was 1500-2000 N/㎟.

The crystallization and morphology change of amorphous titanias by hydrothermal treatment have been investigated. The amorphous titanias were prepared by pure water hydrolysis of two different precursors, titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and TTIP modified with acetic acid (HOAc) and characterized prior to hydrothermal treatment. In order to avoid complicate situation, the hydrothermal treatment was performed in a single solvent water with and without strong acids at various temperatures. The effects of strong acid, temperature and time were systematically investigated on the transformation of amorphous titania to crystalline TiO₂ under simple hydrothermal condition. Without strong acid the titanias were transformed into only anatase phase nanoparticle regardless of precursor type, temperature and time herein used (up to 250 ℃ and 48 hours). The treatment temperature and time effected only on the crystalline size, not on the crystal phase et al. However, it was clearly revealed that the strong acids such as HNO₃ and HCl catalyzed the formation of rutile phase depending on temperature. HCl was slightly better than HNO₃ in this catalytic activity. The morphology of rutile TiO₂ formed was also a little affected by the type of acid. The precursor modifier, HOAc slightly reduced the catalytic activity of the strong acids in rutile phase formation.

Titanium and its alloys have been widely used for orthopedic implants because of their good biocompatibility. We have previously shown that the crystalline titania layers formed on the surface of titanium metal via anodic oxidation can induce apatite formation in simulated body fluid, whereas amorphous titania layers do not possess apatite-forming ability. In this study, hot water and heat treatments were applied to transform the titania layers from an amorphous structure into a crystalline structure after titanium metal had been anodized in acetic acid solution. The apatite-forming ability of titania layers subjected to the above treatments in simulated body fluid was investigated. The XRD and SEM results indicated hot water and/or heat treatment could greatly transform the crystal structure of titania layers from an amorphous structure into anatase, or a mixture of anatase and rutile.The abundance of Ti-OH groups formed by hot water treatment could contribute to apatite formation on the surface of titanium metals, and subsequent heat treatment would enhance the bond strength between the apatite layers and the titanium substrates. Thus, bioactive titanium metals could be prepared via anodic oxidation and subsequent hot water and heat treatment that would be suitable for applications under load-bearing conditions.

In this study, we investigated the thermal properties of $Zr_{66.4}Nb_{6.4}Cu_{10.5}Ni_{8.7}Al_{8.0}$ by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and then analyzed the composition of dendrite phase by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). A series of uniaxial compression tests has been performed under the strain rates between $10^{-5}/s$ and $10^{-2}/s$ at room temperature and near SLR. This BMGC has higher high temperature strength than other Zr-based monolithic BMGs because in-situ formed crystalline phases hinder a feasible viscous flow of amorphous matrix. Warm formability is also estimated by laboratory-scale extrusion test within supercooled liquid region. It was found that BMGC has poor formability compared with nother Zr-based bulk metallic glass composite presumably due to large volume fraction of 'brittle' crystalline phases distributed within amorphous matrix.

Recently plastic parts are molded for the purpose of mass production in multi-cavity system. Therefore, designer is usually designing mold that has geometrically balanced runner lay-out for filling balance at each cavity. Although, mold is manufactured with geometrically balanced runner lay-out, there are actually filling imbalances in the cavities. These filling imbalances phenomenon are caused by complicated interaction between melt and mold. In this study, based on previous studies for filling imbalances in cold-runner mold, filling imbalances in hot-runner mold were investigated by CAE and injection molding experiments. ABS and PMMA as amorphous polymer, PA as crystalline polymer were used to compare the filling imbalances. There were different results of CAE and experiment. The filling imbalances decreased as injection rate increased without regard to kind of resins and were lower than the one of cold-runner.

Joining of thermoplastics is an area of growing importance in the automotive, aerospace, electronics medical and other domestic appliance industries. While adhesive Bonding or mechanical fastening could be used to join thermoplastics, welding is very effective because of its speed and low cost. This study investgated the ultrasonic joining of thermoplastics. Four kinds of thermoplastics such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Polystyrene, Polyethylene and Polypropylene were used, ultilizing all possible joining combinations. In each combination of thermoplastics, the weldability of the joint was evaluated as a function of weld time, amplitude of vibration and pressure. It was generally found that joining of amorphous thermoplastics with semicrystalline thermopastics resulted in poor joints due to its different crystalline structure. Joining of the amorphous thermoplastics together and joining of the semicrystalline thermoplastics together produced the best joints owing to its same crystalline structure.
