The development of telecommunication and information technology requires to develop new piezoelectric materials with small size, low impedance, wide pass band width and high thermal stability of frequency. Langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) single crystal has been researched substitute of quartz and LiNbO3 for the applications of SAW filter, BAW filter and resonator. Its single crystal growth has been carried out by Czochralski Method. So, in order to get single crystal with higher quality, in this study, lnagasite (La3Ga5SiO14) single crystal was grown by using Floating Zone (FZ) method and characterized. For the growth of langasite single crystals, the langasite powder was synthesized at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5hrs and the feed rod was sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5hrs. The growing rate was 1.5mm/h and the rotation speed was 15 rpm for an upper rotation and 13 rpm for a lower rotation. In order to prevent the evaporation of gallium oxide, Ar and O2 gas mixture was flowed. The growth direction was analyzed by Laue back-scattered analysis. The composition of grown crystal was analyzed suing XRD and WDS. The electrical properties of grown crystal at various frequencies and temperature were discussed.

It was grown Er2O3 doped LiNbO3 single crystal thin films with high crystal quality by liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) method. Er2O3 was doped with a concentration of 1, 3, and 5 mol% respectively. After the growth of single crystal thin film, we examined the crystallinity and the lattice mismatch along the c-axis between the film and the substrate with the variation of Er2O3 dopant using X-ray double crystal technique. There were no lattice mismatches along the c-axis for the undoped and the films doped with 1 and 3 mol% of Er2O3. For 5 mol% of Er2O3 doped film, there was a lattice mismatch of 7.86x10-4nm along the c-axis.

A large NaX type zeolite crystal of a uniform particle size of 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ are grown with various {{{{{H}_{2}O}}}} content by hydrothermal reaction and added seed crystal (2~3$\mu\textrm{m}$) to reactant solution as a function of different adding seed levels from 3 to 15%. The result that increased purity of NaX zeolite above 95% and homogeneity of crystal size by increasing adding seed levels, also decreased crystallization time. It was explained that adding seed to synthesis solution leaded out increase of surface area for physical contact reaction and directed growth of seed crystal, so more rapid consumption of reaction gel as increase seeding levels.

Glutamic acid can be crystallized inside cation exchange column when displacer NaOH concentration is high enough to concentrate displaced glutamic acid beyond its solubility limit. Resulting crystal layer of glutamic acid was moved with liquid phase through the column, and thus could be eluted from the column and recovered in fraction collector. For the purpose of enhancing crystal recovery, effects of operating parameters on the crystal formation were investigated. The increase in the degree of crosslinking of resin favored crystal recovery because of its low degree of swelling. Higher concentration of displacer NaOH was advantageous. If NaOH concentration is too high, however, crystal recovery was lowered due to the solubility-enhancing effects of high pH and ionic strength. The decrease of mobile phase flow rate enhanced crystal recovery because enough time to attain local equilibrium could be provided, but film diffusion would control the overall crystal formation with extremely low flow rate. Lower temperature reduced solubility of glutamic acid and thus favored crystal formation unless the rate of ion exchange was severely reduced. The ion exchange operated by displacement mode coupled with crystallization was advantageous in reducing the burden of further purification steps and in preventing purity-loss resulted from overlapping between adjacent bands.

Numerical simulations are carried out for the liquid encapsulant Czochralski(LEC) by imposing a magnetic field. The use of a magnetic field to the crystal growth is to suppress melt convection and to improve the homogeneity of the crystal. In the present numerical investigation, we focus on the range of 0-0.3Tesla strength for the axial and cusped magnetic field and the effect of the magnetic field on the melt-crystal interface, flow field and temperature distribution which are the major factors to determine the quality of the single crystal are of particular interest. For both axial and cusped magnetic field, increase of the magnetic field strength causes a more convex interface to the crystal. In general, the flow is weakened by the application of magnetic field so that the shape of the melt-crystal interface and the transport phenomena are affected by the change of the flow and temperature field.

The stoichiometric mix of evaporating materials for he CuInS₂ single crystal thin films was prepared. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuINS₂ mixed crystal was deposited on etched semi-insulator GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were 640℃ and 430℃, respectively and the thickness of the single crystal thin films was 2 ㎛. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility deduced from Hall data are 9.64x10/sup 22//㎥ and 2.95x10/sup -2/ ㎡/V·s, respectively at 293 K. he optical energy gap was found to be 1.53 eV at room temperature. From the photocurrent spectrum obtained by illuminating perpendicular light on the c-axis of the thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit coupling splitting ΔSo and the crystal field splitting ΔCr were 0.0211 eV and 0.0045 eV at 10K, respectively. From PL peaks measured at 10K, were can assign the 807.7 nm (1.5350 eV) peak to E/sub x/ peak of the free exciton emission, the 810.3 nm(1.5301 eV) peak to I₂ peak of donar-bound exciton emission and the 815.6 nm(1.5201 eV) peak to I₁ peak of acceptor-bound excition emission. In addition, the peak observed at 862.0 nm(1.4383 eV) was analyzed to be PL peak due to donor-acceptor pair(DAP).

For further improvement of osseo-integration of bone crystal with a dental implant, a design optimization study is carried out for various holes inside its body to deliver bioactive materials and the effect of bioactive material injection on the bone crystal growing. When bioactive material is absorbed, the bone crystal can grow into holes, which would increase the strength of implant bonding as well as a surface integration. The stress concentrations near the uppermost outlet holes were reduced with increasing the number of outlet holes. A design improvement in the uppermost outlet was shown to be effective in reducing the stress concentration. For design parameters under consideration in this study, total area of outlet of 6.38 $mm^2$ and maximum stress of 1.114 MPa, which corresponds to type 6-C. It is due to the minimization of maximum stress and total area of outlet. The design of the outlet facing down was more effective in reducing the maximum stress value compared with a horizontal symmetry.

High quality of $Er_{2}O_{3}$ doped $LiNbO_{3}$ single crystal thin films were grown by the liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) method using $Er_{2}O_{3}$ doped at concentrations of 1,3, and 5 mol% respectively. After the growth of single crystal thin film, the crystallinity and the lattice mismatch along the c-axis between the film and the substrate was examined as a function of the variations of{{{{{Er}_{2}{O}_{3}}}}} dopant concentration using a X-ray double crystal technique. There was no lattice mismatch along the c-axis for the undoped film and those doped with 1 and 3 mol% of $Er_{2}O_{3}$. For 5 mol% of $Er_{2}O_{3}$ doped film, the lattice mismatch was $7.86{\times}10^{-4}$nm along the c-axis.

In this work we report methods of formation of three-dimensional structures of particles in a liquid crystal host. We found that, under the appropriate conditions, the particles are captured and dragged by the moving isotropic/nematic front during the phase transition process. This movement of the particles can be enhanced significantly or suppressed drastically with the influence of an electric field and/or with changing the conditions of the phase transition, such as the rate of cooling. As a result, a wide variety of particle structures can be obtained ranging from a fine-grained cellular structure to stripes of varying periods to a course-grained "root" structures. Changing the properties of the materials, such as the size and density of the particles and the surface anchoring of the liquid crystal at the particle surface, can also be used to control the morphology of the three-dimensional particle network and adjust the physical properties of the resulting dispersions. These particle structures may be used to affect the performance of LCD's much as polymers have been used in the past.

Abstract The surface of 6H - SiC bulk crystal grown by sublimation process was investigated by optical microscope observation. Since, in the 6H crystal growing, the crystal had the habitual step growth attitude such that the lateral growth rate along the random a - axis orientation was higher than that along the c - axis of the growth direction, then many steps were developed. There were, also, many micropipes on the surface in the form of as-like large voids. However, they were differenciated with pores and cross- sectional shape of them were close to the circle. In this study, many micropipes, planar defects and the growth steps appeared on the grown crystal surface were investigated.
