We have grown a high quality ZnSe(100) epilayer on the GaAs(100) substrate by hot-wall epitaxy method. The FWHM value from double-crystal x-ray diffraction rocking curve and growth rate of the ZnSe epilayer grown under the optimal growth conditions were 195 arcsec and 0.03 $\mu \textrm m$/min, respectively. The $I_2^U$ and $I_2^L$ peaks, which split by strain due to lattice mismatch between substrate and epilayer, were measured from the photoluminescence experiment. And we found that the residual impurities in ZnSe epilayer were concerned with Al or CI elements from the calculated binding energy of donor impurity.

L-Histidine tetrafluoroborate single crystals have been grown from the aqueous solution. The profitable pH value to grow large crystals, the relative flow rate to get clear crystals, crystals habit and the orientation of the obtained crystal have been clarified. We have also demonstrated that the LHBF crystal has very high damage threshold which is potentially good for generation of the phase conjugated waves.

$ LiNbO_3$ single crystals were grown using the Czochralski Method at various pulling speeds. Macroscopic defects such as cracks, bubbles and cellular structures were observed in some crystals. Cracks and bubbles observed in the crystals depended on the pulling speed and cooling rate. $ LiNbO_3$ crystals of about 15mm diameter could be grown properly at 6-7mm/h pulling speed and $ 20^{circ}C/h$ cooling rate. In order to investigate dielectric properties and optical properties for device application, these properties were measured for the sample cut along a axis and c axis at different temperatures.

CMR Materials RE/sub 1-x/Ca/sub x/MnO₃(RE=La, Nd, A=Ca, Sr) were grown using the floating zone image furnace with halogen lamps as heat source. The growth condition was at 2∼10 mm/hr growth rate in air atmosphere, were 445∼50 rpm and 20∼25 rpm of rotation rate of feedrod and growing crystal, respectively. The grown crystals showed shiny black color and annealed at 1500℃ in a box furnace to release the residual stress during cooling. Characterization analyses of the crystal were carried out using XRD and SEM. The crystal structure of Nd/sub 0.7/Ca/sub 0.3/MnO₃ was analyzed with smart CCD XRD was lattice parameter of a=5.425(4)Å, b=5.434(4)Å, and c=7.712(5)Å, an orthorombic system with space group of pbnm.

The nacre of imaged abalone pearls was obtained as a calcium carbonate of aragonite type. This result was same the nacre of natural abalone pearl. From the observation of SEM for the nacre adhered on the pearl nucleus, it was known that the layers of calcium carbonate and conchiolin were stratified. The growth rate of nacre was found to be 0.0056∼0.0074 mm/day, which is twice faster than that of traditional method used shells. The pendant and brooch were manufactured using the imaged abalone pearls.

Cubic Zirconia single crystals having changeable color with light source were grown by skull melting method. Strong absorption of yellow color region light by Co and Nd and the absorption in violet color region by Fe led the color change from blue-green to red-purple with the light source from fluorescent to incandescent lamp. Color of crystals varied not only by the dopants but yttria contents and the conditions far heat treatment.

26 bacterial strains capable of growing on Terephthalic acid (TPA) in minimal medium were isolated from soil and wastewater by selective enrichment culture, and among them, one isolate which was the best in the cell growth and TPA degradation was selected and identified as Pseudomonas sp. T-1 by its characteristics. Cell growth almost revealed a stationary phase at 24 hrs after cultivation. Cell growth dramatically increased in a minimal medium containing 0.1% of TPA as a sole carbon source and TPA was not detected any more at 80 hrs after cultivation. Therefore, it is suggested that Pseudomonas sp. T-1 could be effectively used for the biological treatment of wastewater containing TPA.

An alkaliphilic bacterium, Bacillus clausii SKAL-16, was isolated from soil that had been contaminated with vegetable oil. The optimal pH and general pH range for bacterial growth was 8, and 7 to 10, respectively. The bacterium could grow on tributyrin and glycerol, but could not grow on acetate and butyrate. The SKAL-16 strain excreted butyric acid during growth on tributyrin, and selectively ingested glycerol during growth on a mixture of butyric acid and glycerol. The SKAL-16 generated intracellular lipase, but did not produce esterase and extracellular lipase. The DNA fragment amplified with the chromosomal DNA of SKAL-16 and primers designed on the basis of the esterase-coding gene of Bacillus clausii KSM-KI6 was not identical with the esterase-coding gene contained in the GenBank database. Pyruvate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase activities were detected in the cell-free extract (crude enzyme).

$CuInSe_2$ thin films which have been widely used for thin solar cells as a light absorber were prepared by hydrazine solution processing, and their microstructural properties were investigated. Hydrazine $CuInSe_2$ precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving $Cu_2S$, S, $In_2Se_3$ and Se powder in hydrazine solvent. Multilayer $CuInSe_2$ chalcopyrite phase thin films were prepared by repeating spin-coating process using the precursor solution. Unfortunately, the presence of the interfaces between each $CuInSe_2$ layer formed by multi-layer coating impeded grain growth across the interface. Here, by doing simple interface engineering to solve the limited grain growth issue, the large grained (${\sim}1{\mu}m$) $CuInSe_2$ thin films were obtained.

Creep-fatigue crack growth behavior at the heat affected zone of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel weldment has been experimentally studied. Load hold times of the tests for trapezoidal fatigue waveshapes were varied among 0, 30, 300 and 3,600 seconds. Time-dependent crack growth rates were characterized by the {TEX}$C_{t}${/TEX} estimated with the equation proposed by the previous finite element analysis work. It was concluded that the {TEX}$C_{t}${/TEX} values calculated from the properties of parent metal were quite comparable to the accurate {TEX}$C_{t}${/TEX} values calculated from both of weld and parent metals. Scatter of data was claimed due to the difference of exact location of the cracks in HAZ. The cracks have a tendency to change their path from the original location eventually to the relatively soft HAZ(ie, near-FGHAZ region, fine grained heat affected zone).
