The transformation sequence of kaolinite to mullite is examined with new electron diffraction data obtained mainly by an energy filtering transmission electron microscope. Kaolinite is transformed finally into mullite and cristobalite through several steps of continuous reactions by heating, which result in metakaolinite, microcrystalline spinel-type phase and amorphous silica. Metakaolinite maintains a short-range order in its structure ven at $920^{\circ}C$. Spinel phase results from a topotactictransformation of metakaolinite apart from the breakdown of metakaolinite structure. the first strong exothermic peak on DTA curve is mainly due to the extraction of amorphous silica from metakaolinite and the gradual nucleation of mullite. Metakaolinite decomposes around$ 940^{\circ}C$ to mullite that doesn't show a clear crystallographic relationship to the parent metakaolinite structure. However, spinel phase produced previously is maintained. The initially formed spinel and mullite phases are suggested to be Al-rich, but progressively gain Si in their structures at higher temperatures. Spinel phase decomposes completely through a second weak exothermic reaction promoting the growth of mullite, and crystallization of amorphous silica to cristobalite.

High pressure x-ray diffraction patterns of ${\alpha}$-cristobalite gallium phosphate ($GaPO_4$) were acquired up to 8.9 GPa at room temperature using Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell with high flux synchrotron radiation. Starting orthorhombic phase (phase-I) shows the splitting of peak which is possibly resulted from the pressure induced orientation disorder of the framework structure of tetrahedra. This is designated as phase-I'. This phase transforms to the orthorhombic high pressure phase-III between 2 and 3 GPa. Present phase transition sequence is not in accord with the recent high pressure X-ray diffraction results performed on the same starting sample (Ming et al., 2007). X-ray pattern of the unloaded sample to ambient pressure shows that the structure retains that of the high pressure phase prior to decompression.

Wire-woven Kagome is a kind of Periodic Cellular Metal, which is known to have high strength, stiffness for its weight, and potential for mass production. In this work, we developed a new structure that mimics ${\alpha}$-cristobalite. First, an ordinary wire-woven Kagome was fabricated using metallic wires, and the tetrahedral cells were then filled with metal balls and epoxy. The wire-woven Kagome was transformed to have a negative Poisson's ratio by carrying out a specified amount of initial deformation. The fabrication possibility and kinematic behavior were checked by using FEA simulation. Finally, the mechanical properties were measured using compressive tests.

A brown ring (hereinafter referred to as BR) on the inner surface of a quartz glass crucible used in the manufacturing process of a silicon ingot for semiconductor wafers was studied. BR is 20~30 ㎛ in size and has an asymmetric brown ring shape. The size and distribution of BR were different depending on the crucible location, and the size and distribution of BR were the largest and most abundant in the round part with the highest crucible temperature during Si ingot growth. BR contains cristobalite, which has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than quartz glass, so it is considered that surface cracks appear. The color development of BR and pin holes are presumed to be due to oxygen vacancies.

The scientific analysis and provenance study of potteries excavated from kiln site at Gyeongsang Nam-do were carried out using XRD, ICP-AES and NAA. We can summary the following Result :1. As a result of XRD analysis, it showed that soft potteries consisted of quartz, feldspar and clay minerals while hard potteries consisted of high temperature crystals such as mullite, tridymite, cristobalite.In case of firing temperature which are determined by XRD, potteries consisted of quartz, feldspar and clay mineral had very low firing temperature. While potteries having only cristobalite ranged above $1200^{\circ}C$.2. As a result of correlation analysis using trace element, the selected characteristic elements which was able to distinguish from each kiln site was Sm, Cs, Sc, Eu, Hf.3. Discriminant analytical showed that each kiln site were classified into 4-gruops;Kimhaeci Daesungdong, Hamangun Myosari, Changyounggun Yochori and one group mixed KimhaeciGuosandong, Kimhaeci Samgyeri. This suggests that there are no correlations between the raw materials used in each kiln sites except Kimhaeci Guosandong, Kimhaeci Samgyeri.

The main cystal phases of traditional ceramics made of clay, quartz, and feldspar are mullite and cristobalite. Although mullite can provide strength to the ceramic body, it cannot be used for the heat resistant ceramics because the thermal expansion coefficient of it is relatively high as 5.3 × 10^-6/℃. In this study, development of lightweight heat resistant ceramics was tried by producing cordierite phase, of which the thermal expansion coefficient is 2.6 × 10^-6/℃, instead of forming mullite phase in the ceramic body by using Sanchung Kaolin and Jangsu gobdol sludge. It was concluded that ceramics having good heat resistant, bending strength, and refractoriness under load could be fabricated when 80 wt% of Sanchung Kaolin and 20 wt% of Jangsu gobdol sludge were used as raw materials. Also, the bulk specific gravity is 1.78, which is lighter than the existing Buncheong ware.

In this study, porcelain insulator samples which have a different alumina composition were manufactured in order to test electrical and mechanical properties and make an analysis of the propagation phenomena of micro cracks on porcelain body. From XRD quantitative analysis the crystalline phases were different with alumina composition, sample C and D which have about 17wt% Corundum phase without the Cristobalite phase shows better electrical and mechanical properties than sample A and 8 which have the Cristobalite phase. In dielectrics test on porcelain samples with below 17wt% alumina composition, it was found that the amount of glass phase$(SiO_2)$have an main effect to decrease the dielectric loss$(tan{\delta})$, and the dielectric breakdown voltage of aluminous porcelain insulators was largely affected by its relative density. As a micro cracks analysis, HRS were measured, then the intensity of HRS increased with the amount of alumina composition. On the other hand, the propagation behaviors of cracks was fairly influenced by the distribution of pores.

In this study. porcelain insulator samples which have a different alumina composition were manufactured in order to test electrical and mechanical properties and make an analysis of the propagation phenomena of micro cracks on porcelain body. From XRD quantitative analysis the crystalline phases were different with alumina composition, sample C and D which have about l7wt％ Corundum phase without the Cristobalite phase shows better electrical and mechanical properties than sample A and B which have the Cristobalite phase. In dielectrics test on porcelain samples with below l7wt％ alumina composition, it was found that the amount of glass phase(SiO$_2$) have an main effect to decrease the dielectric loss(tan$\delta$), and the dielectric breakdown voltage of aluminous porcelain insulators was largely affected by its relative density. As a micro tracks analysis, HRB were measured, then the intensity of HRB increased with the amount of alumina composition. On the other hand, the propagation behaviors of cracks was fairly influenced by the distribution of pores.

Single crystals of the compound MeI $(LiMoO_4)$ and $Me^I(LiWO_4)$ ($Me^I=K$, Rb, Cs) were synthesized by slow evaporation from aqueous solution and bycooling from melt. The compounds of potassium or rubidium are hygroscopic and they form easily hydrated crystals $Me^I LiMoO_4$.$H_2O$ or $Me^ILiMoO_4$.$H_2O$ or $Me^ILiWO_4$.$H_2O$ from aqueous solution. The structures of these hydrated crystals are each other isotypic and they are built up of distorted layers of $(LiMoO_5)$ or $(LiWO_5)$. There exist two types of tetrahedral framework structures in this group of anhydrous molybdates and tung-states ; tridymite-type and cristobalite-type. $KLiMoO_4$ and $KLiWO_4$ have two types of polymorphic structures where as only the cristobalite-type is found in the Rb-and Cs-compounds. The system $KLiSO_4-KLiMoO_4$ was studied. Two components are almost immiscible but there eixst a narrow area of solid solution on the side of sulfate in the system.
