  • The dense sintered bodies with >95% theoretical densities were successfully obtained from the $BaZrO_3,\;BaCeO_3,\;Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution, and core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite powders prepared by sol-gel methods. The activation energy of $Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution calculated from the Arrhenius plot of the proton conductivities was similar to that of $BaZrO_3$. The activation energy of core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite, however, was much lower than that of $BaZrO_3$ or $Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution, and was very similar to that $BaCeO_3$. These results could be assigned to the Ce-rich grain boundary which was clearly observed by EDX in core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite.

  • Au/TiO$_2$ core-shell structure nanoparticles were synthesised by sol-gel process, and the morphology and crystallinity of TiO$_2$ shell were investigated by TEM and UV-Vis. absorption spectrometer. Au/TiO$_2$ core-shell structure nanoparticles could be prepared by the hydrolysis of TOAA (Titanium Oxide Acethylacetonate) in Au colloid ethanol solution with $H_2O$. The thickness of TiO$_2$ shell on the surface of Au particles was about 1 nm. To investigate the crystallinity of TiO$_2$ shell, UV light with 254 nm and radioactive lay of $^{60}$ CO were irradiated on the TiO$_2$ coated Au colloid ethanol solution. The surface plasmon phenomenon of Au nanoparticles appeared only when the radioactive lay was irradiated on the TiO$_2$ coated Au colloid ethanol solution. From these results, it was found that the TiO$_2$ shell was amorphous and the MUA (Mercaptoundecanoic Acid) layer on the Au particle for its dispersion didn't act as an obstacle to disturb the movement of electron onto the surface of Au particle.

  • An Er-doped sulfide fiber was drawn, and its spectroscopic properties were analyzed. Compositions of a 1000 ppmwt Er3+-doped core and an undoped clad were Ge30-Ga1-Asg-S61 and Ge30-As8-S62, in at.%, respectively. Refractive index of the core composition was approximately 0.01 high than that of the clad. In order to enhance the mechanical stability as well as to prevent infiltration of impurity ions such as OH-, an UV-curable polymer was used for the coating. The optical loss of a fiber formed directly from a polymer coated core rod without cladding was ∼15 dB/m at 1.06$\mu\textrm{m}$. In the case of a fiber with core/clad structure, the optical loss was so high that the stimulated emission of erbium fluorescence was not evident. It is believed that presence of inhomogeneous core/clad interface and crystalline aggregates precipitated in the clad region were responsible for the high optical loss. On the other hand, fluorescence characteristics of Er3+ embedded in the core region were more or loss deteriorate compared to fiber preform, which is attributed to the redistribution of the Er ions along with the partial crystallization of the core glass during the fiberization process.

  • To reduce the imbalance of impedance matching between the magnetic metal nanowires and free space, $Fe/TiO_2$ core/shell nanowire arrays with different diameters were fabricated in the templates of anodic aluminum oxide membranes by electrodeposition. The influences of the microstructure on the microwave absorption properties of the $Fe/TiO_2/Al_2O_3$ composites were studied by the transmission/reflection waveguide method. It was demonstrated experimentally that both the interfacial polarization and the diameter of the $Fe/TiO_2$ core/shell nanowires have critical effects on the microwave absorption properties. We also investigated the angle dependence of the microwave absorption properties. Due to the interfacial polarization and associated relaxation, the $Fe/TiO_2/Al_2O_3$ composites exhibited optimal microwave absorption properties when microwave propagation direction was accordant with the axis of the nanowires. Finally, we managed to obtain an optimal reflection loss of below -10 dB (90% absorption) over 10.2-14.8 GHz, with a thickness of 3.0 mm and the minimum value of -39.4 dB at 11.7 GHz.

  • This study examined the shear bond strength between the zirconia core and pressed lithium disilicate veneering ceramics. The Schmitz-Schulmeyer test method was used to investigate the core-veneer shear bond strength of industrially manufactured zirconia core ceramic (Zirtooth, HASS, Gangneung, Korea) and pressed veneer ceramic (IPS e.max Zirpress, Vita PM9, GC Initial IQ, HASS Rosetta SM) (N=40). Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (a=0.05). The fractured surfaces of the specimens were examined to determine the failure pattern using a digital microscope. The mean ± SD shear bond strength in MPa were 16.69±3.11, 14.21±3.63, 11.17±2.92, and 27.90±5.71 for IPS e.max Zirpress, VITA PM9, GC Initial IQ, and HASS Rosetta SM, respectively. The average shear bond strength was largest for HASS Rosetta SM, followed by IPS e.max Zirpress, Vita PM9, and GC Initial IQ(p<0.05). The digital microscopy examination of the fracture surface showed adhesive and cohesive failure in pressed lithium disilicate veneering ceramics. The use of lithium disilicate veneer ceramic produced a significantly higher shear bond strength.

  • Coating materials used in the electron beam (EB) deposition method, which is being studied as one of the fabrication methods of thermal barrier coating, are exposed to high power electron beam at focused area during the EB deposition. Therefore the coating source for EB process is needed to form as ingot with appropriate density and microstructure to sustain their shape and stable melts status during EB deposition. In this study, we tried to find the optimum powder condition for fabrication of ingot of 8 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia which can be used for EB irradiation. It seems that the ingot, which is fabricated through bi-modal type initial powder mixture which consists of tens of micro and nano size particles, was shown better performance than the ingot which is fabricated using monolithic nanoscale powder when exposed to high power EB.

  • The objective of this study was to characterize the mechanical properties of $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass infiltrated ceramic core material, which was made by pressureless powder packing method. A pure alumina powder with a grain size of about $4{\mu}m$ was packed without pressure is silicon mold to form a bar shaped sample, and applied PVA solution as a binder. Samples were sinterd at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. After cooling, $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass($SiO_{2},\;Y_{2}O_{3},\;B_{2}O_{3},\;Al_{2}O_{3}$, ect) was infiltrated to the sinterd samples at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and cooled. Six different proportions $Y_{2}O_{3}$ of were used to know the effect of the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient between alumina powder and glass. The samples were ground to $3{\times}3{\times}30$ mm size and polished with $1{\mu}m$ diamond paste. Flexural strength, fracture toughness, hardness and other physical properties were obtained, and the fractured surface was examined with SEM and EPMA. Ten samples of each group were tested and compared with In-Ceram(tm) core materials of same size made in dental laboratory. The results were as follows : 1. The flexural strengths of group 1 and 3 were significantly not different with that of In-Ceram, but other experimental groups were lower than In-Ceram. 2. The shrinkage rate of samples was 0.42% after first firing, and 0.45% after glass infiltration. Total shrinkage rate was 0.87%. 3. After first firing, porosity rate of experimental groups was 50%, compared with 22.25% of In-Ceram. After glass infiltration, porosity rate of experimental groups was 2%, and 1% in In-Ceram. 4. There was no statistical difference in hardness between two materials tested, but in fracture toughness, group 2 and 3 were higher than In-Ceram. 5. The thermal expansion coefficients of experimental groups were varied to $4.51-5.35{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ according to glass composition, also the flexural strengths of samples were varied. 6. In a view of SEM, many microparticles about $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter and $4{\mu}m$ diameter were observed in In-Ceram. But in experimental group, the size of most particles was about $4{\mu}m$, and a little microparticles was observed. The results obtained in this study showed that the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between alumina powder and infiltrated glass affect the flexural strength of alumin/glass composite. The $Y_{2}O_{3}$-containing glass infiltrated ceramic core made by powder packing method will takes less time and cost with sufficient flexural strength similar to all ceramic crown made with slip casting technique.

  • The monodisperse spherical $SiO_2$ particles were overcoated with $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor layers via a Pechini sol-gel process and the resulting $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ core-shell phosphors were subsequently annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ at an ambient atmosphere. The crystallographic structure, morphology, and luminescent property of core-shell structured $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The spherical, nonagglomerated $SiO_2$ particles prepared by a Stober method exhibited a relatively narrow size distribution in the range of 260-300 nm. The thickness of phosphor shell layer in the core-shell particles can be facilely controlled by varying the coating number of $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors. The core-shell structured $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors showed a strong red emission, which was dominated by the $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition (610 nm) of $Eu^{3+}$ ion under the ultraviolet excitation (263 nm). The PL emission properties of $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were also compared with pure $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphors.
