The pure and 6mol% MgO-doped ZrO2 powders were prepared by hot petroleum drying method. The power characterization of homogeneous fine powder was indentified by the method of thermal analysis, BET and electron microscope. The transformation, content of t-ZrO2, crystallite size and apparent strain were measured by X-ray diffraction technique. The prepared powders were transformed in order of amorphouslongrightarrowmetastable cubic ZrO2longrightarrowmetastable tetragonal ZrO2longrightarrowstable monoclinic ZrO2 by a adequate heat treatment. The stabilization of metastable phase can be discussed in terms of energetial concept ; the difference of surface energy and internal strain in particle.

We have fabricated pure YBCO films and $BaZrO_3$ doped ones on $CeO_2$ buffered YSZ single crystal substrates using rf-sputtering method. In this work, pure YBCO and 2 vol% BZO doped YBCO target were used to investigate the flux pinning properties of BZO doped YBCO films compared to undoped ones. BZO nanodots within the superconducting materials was known to comprise the self-assembled columnar defects along the c-axis from the bottom of YBCO films up to the top surface, thus can be a very strong pinning sites in the applied magnetic field parallel to them. We will discuss the possibility of growing self-assembled columnar defects in the rf-sputtering method. It is speculated that BZO and YBCO phases can separate and BZO form nanodots surrounded by YBCO epitaxial layers and continuous phase separation and ordering between these two materials, which was well studied in Pulsed Laser Deposition method. For this purpose, some severe experimental conditions such as on-axis sputtering, shorter target-substrate distance, high rf-power, etc was adopted and their results will be presented.

We report on the characteristics of Zr-doped $In_2O_3$ (IZrO) films prepared by DC-RF magnetron cosputtering of $In_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$ targets for use as a transparent electrode for high efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). The effect of $ZrO_2$ doping power on electrical, optical, structural, and surface morphology of the IZrO film was investigated in detail. At optimized $ZrO_2$ RF power of 50 W, the IZrO film exhibited a low sheet resistance of 20.71 Ohm/square, and a high optical transmittance of 83.9 %. Furthermore, the OSC with the IZrO anode showed a good cell-performance: fill factor of 61.71 %, short circuit current (Jsc) of $8.484mA/cm^2$, open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.593 V, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.106 %. In particular, the overall OSC characteristics of the cell with the IZrO anode were comparable to those of the OSC with the conventional Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (FF of 65.03 %, Jsc of $8.833mA/cm^2$, Voc of 0.608 V, PCE of 3.495 %), demonstrating that the IZrO anode is a promising alternative to ITO anode in OSCs.

We studied the transfer of oxygen vacancy and proton in Y-doped BaZr$O_3$ (BYZ) using density functional theory (DFT). An oxygen vacancy was generated in the $2{\times}2{\times}2$ BYZ superstructure by replacing two Zr atoms with two Y atoms to satisfy the charge neutrality condition. The O vacancy transfer between the first and second nearest O atom sites from a Y atom showed the lowest activation energy barrier of 0.42 eV, compared to the other transfers between first and first, and second and second in the superstructure. Two protons were inserted in the structure by adding a proton and hydroxyl that were supplied by the dissociation of a water molecule. The two protons bonded to the first and second nearest O atoms were energetically the most favorable. The activation energy barrier for a proton transfer in the structure was 0.51 eV, when either proton transferred to its neighbor O atom. This value was well matched with the experimentally determined one.

Dielectric properties were investigated at Mn doped $(Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x})ZrO_{3}$ with x=0.38 in microwavefrequencies. Both the density and Q values of sintered ceramics increased with increasing calciningtemperature. In the sample sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, the deped Mn ions completely solubled in $(Pb,Ca)ZrO_{3}$ phase until 0.5wt% and the grain size was independent of doping amount. It was observed thathigh dielectric constant of 90 - 100 and high quality factor of 1300 at 4 GHz for O.l5wt% Mn doped$(Pb_{0.62}Ca_{0.38})ZrO_{3}$. The Mn" and Mn" worked as acceptors in $(Pb,Ca)ZrO_{3}$ which created the oxygen vacancies and affected the increment of the Q values. However, the excess Mn doping more than 0.5wt% resulted in decreasing Q values.decreasing Q values.

The ceramic diffusion coupling with the green body of calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$CLC- G) and sintered calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$ CLC) by Pechini's method on yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) plate has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction pattern of CLC sides at the reacted CLC-G/ CLC and CLC/YSZ interface were identified as La$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$CrO$_3$ and the unreacted YSZ side was cubic-ZrO$_2$ at the treated condition, 1300~1500 C for 10 hr in air, respectively. The order of migration components between CLC/YSZ interface was Zr>La>>Cr>>>Ca and these changes were not dependent upon the treated conditions. The grain shape and size at the interface of CLC-G/CLC was appeared to have a uniform distribution with increasing temperature. The bonding reaction of YSZ/CLC was occurred without a large amount change of the compositions in SEM photos.os.otos.os.

Effects of microstructures on the electrical properties of ZrO2 based ceramics were analyzed by modeling layer arrangements and mixed phase structures. Single layers and alternating multilayers were made from 3mol% and 8mol% Y2O3 doped ZrO2 powders, while mixed specimen was made by blending and compacting these raw powders. After sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr in air, AC impedance characteristics were measured. Contributiion of bulk comonent to total resistivity and its temperature-dependence were larger in 8Y-ZrO2 single layer than in 3Y-ZrO2 single layer. The multilayered specimen connected in serial to electrodes showed partial characteristics of both 3Y-ZrO2 and 8Y-ZrO2 single layers. The multilayered specimen connected in parallel to electrodes and the mixed specimen exhibited characteristics mainly of 8Y-ZrO2 single layer. The multilayered specimen connected in parallel to electrodes revealed the highest electrical conductivity near the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell. However, it is expected that the mixed specimen is appropriate for the applications because of its relatively high electrical conductivity with high strength expected.
