Poling condition in 2 mol% MgO-doped $LiNbO_3$ crystals is investigated by varying the amplitude of poling electric field from 3V/cm to 7V/cm. It is found that 5V/cm is the best value for the formation of single domain by analysing the characteristics of the second harmonic generation(SHG) as the function of temperature. The temperature dependence of the phase-matching profile of SHG for the crystal applied by a spatially modulated electric field is observed to be very different from the simple sinc function. The distorted profile can be consistently fitted with the numerical simulations. This shows that the crystal homogeneity can be tested by the SHG temperature phase-matching profile. In addition, the thermo birefringence coefficient and electro birefringence coefficient of SHG were measured from the temperature dependence of phase-matching profile and shifts of phase-matching temperature by appling electric field along c-axis.

Ferroelectric $(Ba_xSr_{1-x})TiO_3$ (BST) thin films have been deposited on (001) MgO single crystals by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The structure of deposited BST thin films were investigated by an x-ray diffractometer. Calculated c-axis lattice parameters of the BST films exhibit a strong lattice distortion, which was not observed in ceramic BST at room temperature. This lattice distortion of BST has been attributed to strains caused by lattice constant difference between film and substrate, oxygen vacancies in BST film, and thermal expansion difference between film and substrate. Ferroelectric properties at 10 GHz have been measured using a HP 8510C vector network analyzer. Dielectric properties, capacitance tunability and quality factor, of the interdigitaed capacitors fabricated on BST films were calculated from the measured s-parameters. Two distinct behaviors in structural, opitical, and microwave properties of BST films were observed; below and above 200 mTorr of oxygen pressure in the deposition chmber.

Single crystals of sodium thiosulfate $(Na_2S_2O_3) have been grown from the saturated solution by the evaporation method at the optimum condition. Radiation damages in the crystal by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of $20{\times}10^6$ Rontgen have given rise to paramagnetic centers. The anisotropic spectra of each paramagnetic species have been obtained with the X-band EPR spectrometer at room temperature. When an isotropic D.P.P.H. at g value of 2.0036 is based on. ESR Spectra of the single crystal are recorded for each rotation about the perpendicular a, b and c axis with intervals of $10^{\circ}$ from $0^{\circ}$to $180^{\circ}$ in order to find out the properties of the crystal for anglar variation of the anisotropic peaks. The g values are calculated from the line position between the anisotropic peaks and the isotropic peaks of D.P.P.H. and then principal g values and their direction cosines of the species is obtained by the diagonalization of 9 matrix elements of the corresponding g values. From the analysis of the characteristic principal g values and direction cosines for ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Na_2S_2O_3$ crystal, anisotropic peaks corresponding to $SO_2^+, SO_2^- $are identified and the existences of unidentified and unstable paramagnetic defects are verified.

The c - axis oriented single crystal of $LiNbO_3$ and $LiNbO_3$ : 5mol%MgO was success-fully grown by Floating zone method using halogen lamp as a heat source. The effects of the sintering condition of the feed rod and the atmosphere gas during the crystal growth on the be havior of the feed rod/melt interface were studied for growing crystal with the high quality, and then, the optimum growth conditions were determined by studying the experimental param eters, such as gas flow rate, pulling rate, rotation speeds of the feed rod and the seed. The grown crystals were analyzed using the chemical etching to observe the tch pattern and the ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) to determine the composition uniformity and the impurity content of Fe. The effects of additive (5 mol % MgO) on the transmittance and refractive index was, also, analyzed. In order to compare the nonlinear optical oharacteristics of $LiNbO_3$ with those of the other optical materials, the nonlinear optical refractive index ($n_2$) was calcu l lated using the measured refractive index.

Two crystal structures of dehydrated $Ag_{2.8}ZN_{4.6}-A$ and of its ethylene sorption complex have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at 23(1)$^{\circ}$C. Dehydration of two crystals studied were achieved at 400$^{\circ}$C and $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days and one crystal was treated with 250 Torr of ethylene at 25(1)$^{\circ}$C. The structures of dehydrated $Ag_{2.8}ZN_{4.6}-A$ (a = 12.137(2) ${\AA}$ and of its ethylene sorption complex (a = 12.106(2)${\AA}$) were refined to final error indices, R(weighted) = 0.044 with 237 reflections and R(weighted) = 0.050 with 301 reflections, respectively, for which I > 3${sigma}$(I). 2.8 $Ag^+$ ions are recessed 0.922(2) ${\AA}$ from (111) plane of three 6-ring oxygens into the large cavity where each forms a lateral ${\pi}$ complex with an ethylene molecule. These $Ag^+$ ions are in 2.240(5)${\AA}$ from three framework oxide ions and 2.290(5) ${\AA}$ from each carbon atom of an ethylene molecule. The $Zn^{2+}$ ions occupy two different threefold axis positions of the unit cell. 2.8 $Zn^{2+}$ ions are recessed 0.408(2) ${\AA}$ from (111) plane of the 6-ring oxygens and each $Zn^{2+}$ ion forms a $\pi$ complex with an $C_2H_4$ molecule. The distances between $Zn^{2+}$ ions and carbon atom of ethylene molecule, Zn(2)-C = 2.78(4) ${\AA}$ are long. This indicates that this bond is relatively weak.

Two crystal structures of dehydrated $Ag^+$ and $Rb^+$ exchanged zeolite A, stoichiometries of $Ag_{9}Rb_{3}-A$ (a = 12.278(2)${\AA}$) and $Ag_{10}Rb_{2}-A$ (a = 12.286(2)${\AA}$) per unit cell, have been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction techniques. Their structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at 21(1)$^{\circ}$C. The crystals of $Ag_{10}Rb_{2}-A$ and $Ag_{10}Rb_{2}-A$ were prepared by flow methods using exchanged solution in which mole ratios of AgNO$_3$ and RbNO$_3$ were 1:5 and 1:50, respectively, with the total concentration of 0.05 M. The structures of the dehydrated $Ag_{9}Rb_{3}-A$ and the $Ag_{10}Rb_{2}-A$ were refined to the final error indices, $R_1$ = 0.064 and $R_2$ = 0.060 with 291 reflections, and $R_1$ = 0.063 and $R_2$ = 0.080 with 416 reflections respectively, for which I >3${\sigma}$(I). In both structures, one reduced silver atom per unit cell was found inside the sodalite cavity. It may be present as a hexasilver cluster in 1/6 of the sodalite units or as an isolated Ag atom coordinated to 4 $Ag^+$ ions in each sodalite unit to give $(Ag_5)^{4+}$, symmetry 4 mm. In the structure of dehydrated $Ag_{9}Rb_{3}-A$, 8 $Ag^+$ ions lie on the threefold axis and each is nearly at the center of the 8-rings at the sites of $D_{4h}$ symmetry. In the structure of dehydrated $Ag_{10}Rb_{2}-A$, two crystallographically different eight 6-ring $Ag^+$ ions were found; $7Ag^+$ ions in the (111) planes of their O(3) framework oxygens and one $Ag^+$ ion inside of sodalite cavity. Two crystallographically different 8-ring cations were also found; two $Rb^+$ ions at the centers of the 8-oxygen rings and one $Ag^+$ ion into the large cavity. Both structures indicate that $Rb^+$ ions prefer to occupy the 8-ring sites, while $Ag^+$ ions prefer to occupy the 6-ring sites.
