In nonlinear optics, the properties of nonlinear optical responses such as polarization and nonlinear analysis of the nonlinear surfaces were investigated using the jellium model by optical second harmonic generation. The nonlinear response of the Al metal surfaces were calculated using TDLDA. Band structure, lattice constant and bulk modulus of the Al metal were investigated. Effective potential and electron density were compared by changing different.

Extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel tight-binding band structure calculations are used to address the chemical bonding and elastic properties of $Zr_2AC$ (A=Al, Si, P, and S). Elastic properties are interpreted by analyzing the density of states and the crystal orbital overlap population for the respective phases. Our results show that the bulk modulus of these ternary compounds is determined by the strength of Zr-A bonds.

A theoretical study of the electronic structures of $TiC_{1-x}$ and $Ti_{1-x}W_xC$ (x = 0, 0.25) is presented. The density of states and crystal orbital overlap population calculations were used to interpret variations of elastic properties induced by carbon vacancies and alloying substitutions. Our results show why the introduction of vacancies into TiC reduces bulk moduli, while W substitution at a Ti site increases the elastic modulus. The effect of the point defects on the bonding in TiC is investigated by means of extended Huckel tight-binding band calculations.

Polycrystalline MaF2(rutile structure) has been studied up to∼15 GPa under truly hydrostatic pressures in a diamond anvil cell(DAC) at room temperature. Its bulk modulus was determined to 96.0 GPa, from two independent runs using Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with an assumed Ko' of 5.1 from ultrasonic measurements. These are in good agreement with the previously reported values by both ultrasonic and X-ray diffraction meth-ods.

In general, under the repetitive dynamic load generated by rail cars running on the track, subgrade soil experiences changes of stress conditions such as deviatoric stress (${\sigma}_d$) and bulk stress (${\theta}$). Due to the repetitive change of deviatoric stress (${\sigma}_d$) with number of loadings, the resilient modulus ($M_R$) can be obtained by using the measured resilient strain (${\varepsilon}_r$) after a sufficient number of loadings. At present, no plausible and unified test method has been proposed to obtain the resilient modulus of railway track subgrade soil. In this study, a possible test method for obtaining the resilient modulus ($M_R$) of railway track subgrade soil is proposed; this test, by utilizing repetitive triaxial compression testing, can consider all the important parameters, such as the confining stress, deviatoric stress, and number of loadings. By adapting and using the proposed test method to obtain $M_R$, $M_R$ values for compacted track subgrade soil can be successfully determined using soil obtained in three field sites of railway track construction with changing water content range from OMC. In addition, shear modulus (G) ~ shear strain (${\gamma}$) relation data were also obtained using a mid-size RC test. A correlation analysis was performed using the obtained G and $M_R$ values while considering the strain levels and modes of strain direction.

Synthetic carbon-coated olivine-like structured lithium iron phosphate ($Li^+Fe^{2+}(PO_4)^{3-}/C$) powder composites were compressed up to 35.0 GPa in the symmetrical diamond anvil cell at room temperature. Bulk modulus of $LiFePO_4/C$ was determined to be $130.1{\pm}10.3$ GPa. New peak appears at the d-spacing of 3.386 ${\AA}$ above 18 GPa, and another new one at 2.854 ${\AA}$ around 35 GPa. The crystallographic symmetry of the sample (i.e. orthorhombic) is apparently retained up to 35 GPa as no clear evidence for the phase transition into spinel structure has been observed. The pressure-induced volume change in the M1 site ($Li^+O_6$) is more significant than those in M2($Fe^{2+}O_6$) and $PO_4$ tetrahedral sites.

The present study aims at the examination of the effects of 1 mol% NiO addition on the reaction, microstructure development, resultant electrical properties, and especially the bulk trap and interface state levels of $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (Sb/Bi=0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) systems (ZBS). The samples were prepared by conventional ceramic process, and characterized by density, XRD, SEM, I-V, impedance and modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS) measurement. The sintering and electrical properties of Ni-doped ZBS (ZBSN) systems were controlled by Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$) was decomposed more than $100^{\circ}C$ lowered in ZBS (Sb/Bi=1.0) by Ni doping. The reproduction of pyrochlore was suppressed by the addition of Ni in ZBS. Between two polymorphs of $Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$ spinel ($\alpha$ and $\beta$), microstructure of ZBSN (Sb/Bi=0.5) composed of a-spinel was more homogeneous than $Sb/Bi{\geq}1.0$ composed of $\beta$-spinel phase. In ZBSN, the varistor characteristics were not improved drastically (non-linear coefficient $\alpha\;=\;6{\sim}11$) and independent on microstructure according to Sb/Bi ratio. Doping of Ni to ZBS seemed to form ${V_0}^{\cdot}$ (0.33 eV) as dominant bulk defect. From IS & MS, especially the grain boundaries of Sb/Bi=0.5 systems were divided into two types, i.e. sensitive to oxygen and thus electrically active one and electrically inactive intergranular one with temperature.

Talc ($Mg_3Si_4O_{10}(OH)_2$), one of sheet silicates, is soft and has been widely used in industry. Powdered talc specimen was synthesized at the pressure of 200 MPa and temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ using external heated hydrothermal high pressure apparatus. High pressure angular dispersive X-ray diffraction (ADXRD) mode experiments were performed at the Pohang Light Source (PLS) using the symmetrical diamond anvil cell (SDAC). Compression pressure was loaded up to 11.06 GPa at room temperature. This synthetic talc shows no phase transition(s) within the present pressure limit. Based on ADXRD data, bulk modulus of talc was calculated to be 72.4 GPa using Birch-Muranghan equation of state (EOS). This value is lower than that of natural talc determined previously.

Yttria-antimonia-stabilized zirconia was investigated with respect to the amount of $Sb_2O_3$ addition in the range of 0.5~5mole% to the base composition of $(ZrO)_{0.92}(Y_2O_3)_{0.08}$ The sinterbility modulus of rupture Vickers hardness evaporation of components phase form-tion and mcicrostructure were evaluated with antimonia content. Also two probe A. C conductivity measurement was subjected to all specimens and the best results are achieved with 1mol% $Sb_2O_3$ as a sinter agent and relative density of~98% obtained at 140$0^{\circ}C$ and this composition has a maximum electrical conductivity due to the possible substition of $Sb^{3+}$ for $Zr^{4+}$ site. The effect of $Sb_2O_3$ on the electrical conductivity of th bulk and the grain boundaries has on investigated using frequency dispersion analysis (5~106 Hz) Antimonia addition has a negative in-fluence on both the bulk and the grain boundary conductivity except for a 1 mon% addition. The additive antimonia has improve a modulus of rupture to 60~MPa due to metastable-tetragonal phase apparence and decrease the hardness with increasing the $Sb_2O_3$ content.

Eight crop residues : 1, sorghum (Sorqhum bicolor) straw, 2, maize (Zea mays) straw, 3, cotton (Gossypium Sp.) straw, 4, sunflower (Helianthus Sp.) straw, 5, cotton (Gossypium Sp.) seed hulls, 6, groundnut (Archais hypogaea) hulls, 7, maize (Zea mays) cobs, 8, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse and two forest grasses 9, Heteropogan contortus dry grass and 10, Sehima nervosum dry grass were subjected to three physical processing 1, chopping (2-3 cm) 2, grinding (8 mm sieve) and 3, pelleting (10 mm die holes). The processed material was fed ad lib. Along with 250 g of concentrate mixture per head per day to 6 adult local goats and 16 adult Nellore rams in ten digestion experiments and finally assessed the nutritive value of the processed roughages by difference method. Grinding increased bulk density by 32.4 (cotton seed hulls, CSH) to 88.1% (Sehima dry grass) while pelleting of ground material increased bulk density by 53.9 (maize cobs) to 235.8% (maize straw). The average particle size ranged from $584.1/^U$ (sorghum straw) to $1467/^U$ (CSH). Modulus of uniformity ranged from 2:5:3 (sorghum straw) to 7:2:1 (CSH) while modulus of fineness ranged from 3.4 (sorghum straw) to 5.4 (CSH). Molasses absorbability was highest with cotton seed hulls and least with maize cobs. Pelleting increased DM intake of the residues except cotton seed hulls compared to grinding. Grinding of chopped material/unprocessed material increased DM intake on sorghum straw and cotton seed hulls. Sheep consumed more DM compared to goats on all the residues except sorghum and sunflower straws. Pelleting increased nutritive value of all the residues compared to grinding and chopping. However, no difference was observed in the nutritive value due to grinding and chopping. Goats performed better compared to sheep in utilizing the fibrous residues.
