부유대용융법에 의하여 전이금속, 희토류금속, 및 3A족 금속이온의 종류와 농도를 조절하면서 Rutile 단결정을 성장하였으며, 결정결함과 1.55 ㎛에서의 광 투과도에 미치는 각 불순이온의 영향을 조사하였다. 주입된 불순이온 중에서 양호한 결정형을 나타내는 이온은 V5+, Fe3+, Al3+, Zr4+, Ga3+, Sc3+이었으며, Al3+, Zr4+, Sc3+ 이온은 우수한 투과도를 나타내었다. 성장된 결정 중에서 가장 양호한 결정형을 제공하고, 산소결핍 및 low-angle grain boundaries의 형성을 최대로 억제하며, 양호한 투과도를 나타낸 우수한 품질의 Rutile 단결정은 TiO2 99.4 at%-Al2O3 0.6 at%로 평가되었다.

Couplings between electric, magnetic, and structural order parameters result in the so-called multiferroic phenomena with two or more ferroic phenomena such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, or ferroelasticity. The simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism (magnetoelectricity) permits potential applications in information storage, spintronics, and magnetic or electric field sensors. The perovskite BiFeO3(BFO) is known to be antiferromagnetic below the Neel temperature of 647K and ferroelectric with a high Curie temperature of 1043K. It exhibits weak magnetism at room temperature due to the residual moment from a canted spin structure. It is likely that non-stoichiometry and second-phase formation are the factors responsible for leakage current in BFO. It has been suggested that oxygen non-stoichiometry leads to valence fluctuations of Fe ions in BFO, resulting in high conductivity. To reduce the large leakage current of BFO, one attempt is to make donor-doped BFO compounds and thin films. In this study, (Bi1-x,Ndx)(Fe1-y,Tiy)O3 thin films have been deposited on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The effect of dopants on the phase evolution and surface morphology are analyzed. Furthermore, electrical and magnetic properties are measured and their coupling characteristics are discussed.

Nb doped strontium titanate single crystals were grown by the floating zone method. The doping amount of $Nb_2O_5$ was 0.2 wt %. Those crystals were grown in air and N z atmosphere and the growth rate was 5 mmlhr and rotation speed of upper and lower shaft was 30 rpm. The shapes of melt - feed rod interface depending on sintering temperatures were observed. In air atmosphere, the flow rate of air was 1.5 ${\ell}/min$ and in $N_2$ atmosphere, that of $N_2$ gas was 0.5 ${\ell}/min$. As grown crystals were analyseQ by XRD, Laue back - reflection and chemical etching. After annealing in $N_2$ atmosphere, resistivities of crystals were measured and the activation energies of each samples were calculated.

In this study, the acoustic transducer of a thin circular disc-type with PZT/Metal was designed. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $0.5wt\%$ $MnO_2$ and NiO doped 0.1Pb($Mg_{1/3}$$Nb_{2/3}$)$O_3$-$0.45PbTiO_3$-$0.45PbZrO_3$ ceramics were investigated aiming at acoustic transducer applications. The vibration characteristics for the laminated circular plate was analyzed for the various thickness and diameter of the piezoceramic layer and metal layer. The acoustic characteristics which is radiated from the acoustic transducer within the finite space was simulated using the finite element method. It has been observed that the characteristics of the sound pressure ard impedance response calculated for the various models of the size and geometry of acoustic transducer.

By using the hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) technique, we have fabricated $MgB_2$ thick films on $Al_{2}O_3$ substrates with various impurity layers of Ni, Ti, and SiC. We have found a significant enhancement of the critical current density ($J_c$) for $MgB_2$ films grown on impurity layered substrates, indicating that additional impurity layers were provided as possible pinning sites by chemical doping in $MgB_2$ films. All samples doped by Ni, Ti, and SiC were observed to have high superconducting transition temperatures of 39 - 41 K. The $J_c$ of $MgB_2$ films grown on SiC impurity layered substrates showed three times higher than that of undoped films at high magnetic fields above 1 T.

The effect of calcining temperature on planar coupling factor Kp resonance and antiresonance frequency of $Pb(Z_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$ doped with $Nb_2O_5$ has been investigated. The calcining temperature ranged from $700^{\circ}C$ to 110$0^{\circ}C$ The calcining temperature affected on antiresonance frequency more strongly than the resonance frequency. Therefore the Kp was almost entirely dependent upon the antiresonance frequency. The p and antiresonance frequency of the sample in creased with the calcining temperature reaching a maximum at about 90$0^{\circ}C$ When a poling electric field of 35KV/cm was applied to the sample calcined at 90$0^{\circ}C$ and sintered for two hours at 120$0^{\circ}C$ Kp attained a maximum value of 0.64 which is in good agreement with the results of other investigators.

The effect of calcining temperature ranged from $700^{\circ}C$ to 110$0^{\circ}C$ on sintering characteristics of morphotropic $Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3 doped with $Nb_2O_5$ has been investigated. The ratio of sintered grain size to calcined grain size decreased as the calcining temperature increased. The hardness as well as the sintered density of the samples reached a maximum at about 90$0^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sintered sample showed both tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The tetragonal phases intensity increased with the calcining temperature going through a maximum at about 90$0^{\circ}C$ while the rhombohedral phase intensity remained uneffected. The both intensity were about the same at 90$0^{\circ}C$ The dielectric constant of the sintered samples reached a maximum um while the dielectric dissipation factor showed a minimum at the calcining temperature of about 100$0^{\circ}C$.

The solid solutions of the Pb(Sc$\_$0.5/Nb$\_$0.5/)$\_$0.57/Ti$\_$0.43/O$_3$ system were prepared. In the PSNT system, it had been known that two-phase region between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases was observed between 0.425 of PT at room temperature. In this paper, Fe$_2$O$_3$-doped 0.57PSN-0.43PT composition was prepared by conventional method. The dielectric and strain properties were examined using an computerized measuring apparatus, and the resonance characteristics were measured using an impedance gain phase analyzer. We got the data of dielectric constant, dielectric loss, piezoelectric coefficient, piezoelectric voltage coefficient, frequency constant strain constant mechanical quality factor and electromechanical coupling factor.

0.03Pb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3}-0.03Pb(Mn{1/3}Nb{2/3)O_{3}-(0.94-x)PbTiO_{3}-xPbZrO_{3}$ ceramics doped with $CeO_{2}$ were synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. Phases analysis, microstructures and piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of $CeO_{2}$ content (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 wt%). Microstructures and phases information were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) and coupling factor(kp) were obtained from the resonance measurement method. Both $Q_{m}$ and $k_{p}$ were shown to reach to the maximum at 0.1 wt% $CeO_{2}$. In order to evaluate the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor ($K_{eff}$) as a function of $CeO_{2}$, the variation of resonance and anti-resonance frequency were also measured using a high voltage frequency response analyzer under various alternating electric fields from 10 V/mm to 80 V/mm. It was shown that the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor were increased with increasing the $CeO_{2}$ contents.

The TMA gas sensors are fabricated with the ZnO-based thin films grown by a RF magnetron sputtering method. We investigate the surface carrier concentration, Hall electron mobility, electrical resistivity and sensitivity according to temperature variation and TMA gas concentration. The ZnO-based thin film sensors prepared by sputtering in oxygen showed higher surface carrier concentration, higher Hall mobility, higher sensitivity, and lower electrical resistivity than sensors prepared by sputtering in argon. The doping ZnO-based thin film sensors showed the same electrical properties in comparison with nondoping sensors. In case of sputtering on the oxygen gaseous atmosphere, the ZnO-based thin film sensors doped with 4.0 wt.% $Al_{2}O_{3}$, 1.0 wt.% $TiO_{2}$, and 0.2 wt.% $V_{2}O_{3}$ showed the highest surface carrier concentration of $5.95{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$, Hall electron mobility of $177\;cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$, lowest electrical resistivity of $0.59{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and highest sensitivity of 12.1(working temperature, $300^{\circ}C$, TMA gas, 8 ppm).
