(PZT, PST, PT)/ YBCO structured have been grown on single crystal $LaAlO_3$ using in-situ Nb:YAG pulsed laser deposition technique. The optimum conditions of fabrication for high quality films have been established under various oxygen pressure. TBCO was used as a metallic electrode for polarizing ferroelectric thin fillms. Lattice mismatch of these materials were found to be with in 3%. As a result XRD patterns and rocking curves, (PZT, PST, PT)/ YBCO multiayered thin films on $LaAlO_3$ substrates showed preferred orientation to c-axis. For invastigation on electrical properties of ferroelectric thin films, remanent polaiztion $P_r$ and coercive field $E_c$ were measured for three samples. At each optimum condition, they showed the values of P_r=60 \mu C/cm^2 and E_c=240kV/ cm for PT, 30\mu C/cm^2 and 105kV/cm for PZT, 1.5\mu C/cm^2$ and 15kV/cm for PST. Frequency dependence of dielectric properties of ferroelectric thin fillms was also investigated. As a result, it showed the frequency dependence was relatively small in the range of 10Hz~10kHz.

BaTiO$_3$cerameic thin films doped with Mn were manufactured by rf/dc magnetron sputter technique. We have investigated crystal structure, surface morphology and PRCR(positive-temperature coefficient of resistance) characteristics of the specimen depending on second heat-treatment temperature. Second heat treatment of the specimen were performed in the temperature range of 400 to 1350$\^{C}$ X-ray diffraction patterns of BaTiO$_3$ thin films show that the specimen heat treated below 600$\^{C}$ is an amorphous phase and the one heat treated above 1100$\^{C}$ forms a poly-crystallization . In this specimen heat-treated at 1300$\^{C}$, a lattice constant ratio(c/a) was 1.188. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) image of BaTiO$_3$ thin films of the specimen heat treated in between 900 and 1100$\^{C}$ shows a grain growth. At 1100$\^{C}$, the specimen stops grain-growing and becomes a poly-crystallization . A resistivity-temperature characteristics of the specimen depends on the doping concentrations of Mn. A resistivity ratio between the value at room temperature and the one above Curie temperature was 10$^4$ for pure BaTiO$_3$ thin films and 10$\^$5/ fo BaTiO$_3$ : additive 0.127mol% MnO

A series of samples in the Sm1-xSrxCoO3-y(x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) system has been prepared at 1200 ℃ under ambient atmosphere. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples with x=0.00 and 0.25 are indexed with orthorhombic symmetry like GdFeO3 and x=0.50 appears to be perfectly cubic. In the tetragonal system (x=0.75), the structure is similar to that of SrCoO2.80. The composition of x=1.00, SrCoO2.52, shows the brownmillerite-type structure. The reduced lattice volume is increased with x value in this system. The chemical analysis shows the τ value (the amount of the Co4+ ions in the system) is maximized at the composition of x=0.50. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas are determined by the x, τ and y values. The electrical conductivity has been measured in the temperature range of 78 to 1000 K. The activation energy is minimum for those of x=0.25 and x=0.50 with metallic behavior. First-order semiconductor-to-metal transition of SmCoO3 is not observed. Instead, a broad, high-order semiconductor-to-metal transition is observed. In general, the effective magnetic moment is increased with increasing τ values at low temperature. At high temperature, the magnetic moment is maximum for that of x=0.00. The 3d-electrons are collective and give ferromagnetism in x=0.50.

Temperature-dependent, wide-angle, x-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns and infrared (IR) spectra were measured for biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and its copolymers, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) P(HB-co-HHx) (HHx=2.5, 3.4, 10.5, and 12 mol%), in order to explore their crystal and lamellar structure and their pattern of C-H...O=C hydrogen bonding. The WAXD patterns showed that the P(HB-co-HHx) copolymers have the same orthorhombic system as PHB. It was found from the temperature-dependent WAXD measurements of PHB and P(HB-co-HHx) that the a lattice parameter is more enlarged than the b lattice parameter during heating and that only the a lattice parameter shows reversibility during both heating and cooling processes. These observations suggest that an interaction occurs along the a axis in PHB and P(HB-co-HHx). This interaction seems to be due to an intermolecular C-H...O=C hydrogen bonding between the C=O group in one helical structure and the $CH_3$ group in the other helical structure. The x-ray crystallographic data of PHB showed that the distance between the O atom of the C=O group in one helical structure and the H atom of one of the three C-H bonds of the $CH_3$ group in the other helix structure is $2.63{\AA}$, which is significantly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals separation ($2.72{\AA}$). This result and the appearance of the $CH_3$ asymmetric stretching band at $3009 cm^{-1}$ suggest that there is a C-H...O=C hydrogen bond between the C=O group and the $CH_3$ group in PHB and P(HB-co-HHx). The temperature-dependent WAXD and IR measurements revealed that the crystallinity of P(HB-co-HHx) (HHx =10.5 and 12 mol%) decreases gradually from a fairly low temperature, while that of PHB and P(HB-co-HHx) (HHx = 2.5 and 3.5 mol%) remains almost unchanged until just below their melting temperatures. It was also shown from our studies that the weakening of the C-H...O = C interaction starts from just above room temperature and proceeds gradually increasing temperature. It seems that the C-H...O=C hydrogen bonding stabilizes the chain holding in the lamellar structure and affects the thermal behaviour of PHB and its copolymers.

Muscovite, chlorite and biotite in metapelites of the Ogcheon Hetamorphic Belt are studied using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), backscattered electron images (BEI) of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and lattice fringe images of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These minerals are observed to be intergrown under a polarized light microscope and are apparently interlayered below EPMA resolution; EPMA data often indicate mixtures of phyllosilicates such as muscovite/chlorite (M/C), biotite/chlorite (B/C), muscovite/pyrophyllite/chlorite (M/P/C). biotite/pyrophyllite/chlorite (B/P/C) or biotite/muscovite/chlorite (B/M/C). BEI observations show that the three minerals (muscovite, chlorite and biotite) are mixed at various scales in a grain through the garnet zone, and the interlayering of the three minerals are observed from TEM lattice fringe images and selected area electron diffraction patterns. The result of TEM observations reveals that 7-$\AA$ layers (serpentine, precursor of chlorite) are interlayered within 10-$\AA$ layers (muscovite) at 100~200 $\AA$ scale as well as M/C in the chlorite zone. The 7-$\AA$ layers become smaller in size and less frequent in the biotite tone, and 10-$\AA$ layers are interlayered with chlorite (14 $\AA$) at an individual layer scale. The 7-$\AA$ layers are no longer observed in the garnet zone, and 10-$\AA$ layers (biotite) are interlayered with chlorite (B/C) at 50~100 $\AA$ scale. Relatively large scale (1000~2000 $\AA$) of intergrowth is also frequently observed from the garnet zone samples. However, rocks from all three metamorphic zones show interlayering of a few units of 7-, 10- and 14-$\AA$ layers with each other at TEM observations. The result of this study implies that metamorphic minerals such as muscovite, chlorite and biotite form through disequilibrum mineral reactions resulting in inhomogenious phases.

Al$\^$3+/ substituted garnet Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/Al$\_$x/O$\_$12/ (x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) was fabricated by sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/Al$\_$x/O$\_$12/ have been studied with Mossbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and vibrating samples magnetometer (VSM). The crystal structure of Y$_3$Fe$\_$5/O$\_$12/ is found to be a cubic with the lattice constant a$\_$0/= 12.381$\pm$0.005 $\AA$. The lattice constants a$\_$0/ decreases linearly from 12.381 to 12.304 A as the Al concentration (x) increases from x=0.0 to 1.0. Mossbauer spectra of measured at Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/A1$\_$x/O$\_$12/ various absorber temperatures of 13 to 600 K. Mossbauer spectrum for x = 0.0 is consist of well resolved two sets of six line patterns. While with increasing Al concentration outer sextet patters, which is originating from octahedral sites, broadens widely. These phenomena are interpreted in terms of random probability distributions of Fe$\^$3+/ and Al$\^$3+/ in tetrahedral site.

$CdS_{0.67}Se_{0.33}$ single crystal was grown by vertical sublimation method of closed tube physical vapour deposition. The (0001) growth plane of oriented single crystals was confirmed from the back-ref1ection Laue patterns. From the Hall effects by van der Pauw method, the as-grown $CdS_{0.67}Se_{0.33}$ single crystals were found to be n-type semiconductors. The mobility appeared to be decreased by lattice scattering at temperature range from 150K to 293K and by impurity scattering at temperatures ranging from 30K to 150K In order to explore its applicability in photoconductive cells, we measured the ratio of photo-current to dark-current (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD), spectral response and response time respectively. The results indicated that for the samples annealed in Cu vapour the photoconductive characteristics are best. We obtained sensitivity of 0.99, the value of pc/de of $1.84{\times}10^{7}$, the MAPD of 323mW and the rise and decay time of 9.3 ms and 9.7 ms, respectively.

The stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the polycrystal $CuInSe_2$, it was found tetragonal structure whose lattice constant $a_0$ and $c_0$ were $5.783\;{\AA}$ and $11.621\;{\AA}$, respectively. To obtain the $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film, $CuInSe_2$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) by the HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy) system. The source and substrate temperature were $620^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystalline structure of $CuInSe_2$ single crystal thin film was investigated by the double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). Hall effect on this sample was measured by the method of Van der Pauw and studied on carrier density and mobility depending on temperature. From Hall data, the mobility was likely to be decreased by impurity scattering in the temperature range 30 K to 100 K and by lattice scattering in the temperature range 100 K to 293 K. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $CuInSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.1851\;eV-(8.99{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+153\;K)$. The open-circuit voltage, short current density, fill factor, and conversion efficiency of $n-CdS/p-CuGaSe_2$ heterojunction solar cells under $80\;mW/cm^2$ illumination were found to be 0.51V, $29.3\;mA/cm^2$, 0.76 and 14.3 %, respectively.

$ThO_2-Tm_2O_3$ (TDT) solid solutions containing 1,3,5,8,10, and 15 mol% $Tm_2O_3$ were synthesized from spectroscopically pure $ThO_2$ and $Tm_2O_3$ polycrystalline powders. The TDT solid solutions were indentified to the fluorite structure by the X-ray powder technique. The values of the lattice parameter were decreased with increasing amount of $Tm_2O_3$ incorporated. But, there was no linearity for the samples containing 8, 10, and 15 mol% $Tm_2O_3$. It was concluded that these samples became incomplete solid solutions. From the intensity analyses of X-ray diffraction patterns, the residual factor was found below 0.13 even for the 15 mol% TDT system. lt was confirmed from the DTA and TGA analyses that any phase transitions did not occur under the experimental condition executed. Comparing the pycnometric density with the lattice parameter obtained from XRD, it was suggested that the predominant defect model be an oxygen vacancy.
