Josephson junction arrays of the type $Nb/Al-Al_2O_3/Nb$ were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. The tunnel barrier was formed by in-situ thermal oxidation. Individual junctions were defined using selective niobium etching process(SNEP). The characteristic curves of Josephson junction arrays fabricated with and without cooling the substrate were represented. The junctions deposited without cooling showed poor characteristics(high leakage current, low gap voltage), and a high quality Josephson junction array of 2,000 junctions with high hysteresis was obtained with cooling and when operated at 74.6 GHz, it generated stable quantized voltage steps up to 2.2 V.

The epilayer of vertically stacked, self-assembled InAs Quantum Dots (QDs)was grown by MBE with solid sources in non-cracking K-cells, and the sample was fabricated to a FET structure using a conventional technology. The device characteristic and performance were studied. At 77K and room temperature, the threshold voltage shift values are 0.75V and 0.35 V, which are caused by the trapping and detrapping of electrons in the quantum dots. Discharging and charging curves form the part of a hysteresis loop to exhibit memory function. The electrical injection of confined electrons in QDs products the threshold voltage shift and memory function with the persistent electron trapping, which shows the potential use for a room temperature application.

The theological properties of aqueous suspensions of Black Hills bentonite were measured by using a Couette-type viscometer. Three kinds of flow units in aqueous bentonite suspension were postulated. Each has a different average relaxation time, one Newtonian. One of the non-Newtonian types is thixotropic, and the other is non-thixotropic. The thixotropic non-Newtonian unit is transformed to a Newtonian unit by shear stress. If the stress is relieved, the transformed unit returns to its original state. Two flow equations were derived by introducing chemical kinetics consideration for such a transition into the generalized theory of viscous flow. One equation describes the "upcurve," a diagram of rate of sheat versus shear stress, obtained by increasing the rate of shear, and the other relates to the "downcurve" obtained by decreasing the shear rate. The equations satisfactorilly describe the experimental thixotropic hysteresis of bentonite suspensions. The equations also were successfully applied to the flow curves of the suspensions containing various amounts of monovalent electrolyte (KCI).

Due to their intrinsic anisotropy, composite materials show quite complicated damage mechanism with their fiber orientation and stacking sequence and especially, their fatigue damage process is sequential occurrence of matrix cracking, delamination and fiber breakage. In the study, to propose new model capable of describing damage mechanism under fatigue loading, fatigue analysis of composite laminates based on damage mechanics, are performed. The average stress is disassembled with stress components of matrix, fiber and interlaminar interface through stress analysis. Each stress components are used to assess static damage analysis based on continuum damage mechanics (C.D.M.). Fatigue damage curves are obtained from hysteresis loop and assessed by the fatigue damage analysis. Then, static and fatigue damage analysis are combined. Expected results such as stress-cycle relation are verified by the experimental results of fatigue tests.

Various Models of the moisture content-capillary pressure hysteresie based on the approach of domain concept in porous media are compared with each other, Model III-1(Mualem, 1984) is superio to others as expected. A new model based on Model III-1 is proposed of which asuumption is the linearization of P$$($\theta$) accounting for the pore blockage effect against air-entry. The feature of this model is that only one branch of boundary curve is needed to calibrate it, which is the advantage to Model III-1. The prediction of boundary drying curve from boundary wetting curve using this model is better than that using Model I-1, II-1 compared with the experimental data. This model is to simulate scanning curves, while Model I-1, II-1 is not.

Variations with structural and electrical properties of Yttrium added PZT thin films were observed and measured respectively. Area of rosette was increased by Yttrium added and shapes of hysteresis curves were changed to slim type. $Y^{3+}$ ion substituted $Pb^{2+}$ ion and played the role of doner. Because the creation of space charges was restricted by Yttrium, degradation of remanent polarizations by cumutation of polarization reversals of PZT was protected. But coercive field was increased because of vacancies generated Yttrium added.

We have studied properties of step-edge Junction prepared with crystal orientation of sapphire substrate. The Step on sapphire substrates fabricated by conventional photolithography method and Ar ion milling method. $CeO_2$ buffer layer and in-situ YBCO thin film were deposited on the stepped sapphire substrates by a pulsed laser deposition method with the predetermined optimized condition. The step angle was centre fled low angle of about $25^{\circ}$. The YBCO film thickness was varied to obtain various thickness ratios of the film to the step height in a range from 0.7 to 1.2. I-V curves of junction were showed RSJ-behavior, double junction structure, and hysteresis due to the crystal orientation of substrate.

Soil-aggregate system in pavement foundations exist in unsaturated conditions. However, change in water content on foundation layers due to joint and structural cracks during rainfall may cause problems like layer deformations or partial settlements. Therefore, a need exist to evaluate the infiltration and drainage capacity of soil-aggregate foundation system under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. To do that, a laboratory soil-water characteristic curve and permeability under unsaturated conditions are assessed to establish hydraulic properties of geomaterials and limited numerical analysis are performed respectively. As a result, it was found that suction profiles and drainage process was greatly influenced by the initial suction of soil-aggregate system at the time of infiltration, soil water characteristics curves, and hysteresis effects.

X/40/60 PLZT thin films were prepared by sol-gel processing and annealed by rapid thermal annealing(RTA). X/40/60 PLZT thin films were crystallized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 5min by RTA. Hysteresis curves were narrowed and coercive field was decreased from 50kV/cm to 31.2 kV/cm and remnant polarization was also decreased from 14.3$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 6.72$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ as La mol% increased. Dielectric constanat and optical transmittance were increased with increasing La mol%.

The NMR spin echo in pure iron was measured as a function of external magnetic field up to 10 kgauss at room temperature. We observed the signal coming from a single domain formed over 7.5 kgauss which has not been detected in previous works. The resonance frequency shift with external field confirmed that the hyperfine field in iron is -330.2 kgauss. From the comparison of the magnetization curve with the domain wall signal and the resonance frequency in external field, we showed that NMR could give the useful qualitative information on the magnetization process. The extent of the internal strain removed by annealing, which can be hardly seen in hysteresis curves, was clearly shown up in the NMR line-width.
