Motivated by two dimensional graphene, layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted scientific interests by their diverse electronic, optical and catalytic properties. In particular, group 6 TMDs such as $MoS_2$ and $MoTe_2$ have polymorphs (with metallic octahedral and semiconducting hexagonal phases) which are not present in graphene. Here, we introduce a new concept in 2D materials' studies, structural phase transition, with group 6 TMDs and its current research trend and applications for electric device and electrochemical catalyst.

We present the results of high resolution (R>35,000) optical spectroscopic monitoring observations of a new FU Orionis-like young stellar object, HBC 722. We observed HBC 722 with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) and Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) since November 26, 2010. HBC 722 is the FU Orionis-like object best characterized for the pre-outburst phase, and it provides the first opportunity to profile the burst phase of accretion across all wavelengths. We detected a number of lines such as $H{\alpha}$, $H{\beta}$, Fe II ${\lambda}$ 5018, Mg I ${\lambda}$ 5183, Na I D doublets, and metallic photospheric lines. In this work, we focus on the time variations of those spectral lines to understand the accretion process of HBC 722.

The magnetoresistance (MR) of $La_{1-\chi}S_{\chi}CoO_{3-\delta}$ films prepared by pulsed-laser deposition were investigated in order to clarify the magnetotransport properties around the metal-insulator transition. For the films in the metallic state ($\chi$ > 0.25), the MR(T) manifests a small peak at the Curie temperature due to the spin-disorder scattering. The transition of the film into the insulating state ($\chi\;\leq$ 0.25) is accompanied by an essential growth of the MR and results in a significant increase in the MR(T) with decreasing temperature, due to a phase separation into the ferromagnetic-metal clusters and the insulating matrix.

A method for evaluating bulk sensitive structural characteristics of unpurified, as-purified, and acid treated single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was described in the present study. The optical spectra of SWNT solutions were well resolved after prolonged sonication and they were correlated to the diameter and the distribution of nanotubes. The acid-treated SWNTs were similar to as-purified SWNTs in terms of catalyst residue, radial breathing mode (RBM) in the Raman spectra, and the first band gap energy of semiconducting tubes in the optical spectra. The solution phase optical spectra were more sensitive to changes in the small diameter and metallic tubes after the acid treatment than were the RBM spectra.

This study presents a methodology to predict the hardenability of quenched carbon steels. The equation of transient heat conduction is analyzed to formulate a cooling curve by a finite element method which incorperates coupled effects of temperature on physical properties, the metallic structures and also the latent heat by phase transformation. The volume traction of martensite and pearlite are the structural analysis for hardenability analysis. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of adopting a full quench model respectively. This procedure could be used as the database for optimal condition of heat treatment processes.

The electronic structures of the new organic conducting salts, the β'- and β''-phases of (BEDT-TTF)2[(IBr2)0.2(BrICl)0.1(ICl2)0.7], were examined by calculating their electronic band structures, Fermi surfaces and HOMO-HOMO interaction energies using the extended Huckel tight binding method. On the basis of these calculations, we probed why the β'-phase is semiconducting while the β ''-phase is metallic.

Layered perovskite La$_{2-x}$Ca$_{l-x}$Mn$_2$O$_{7}$ phases were synthesized by solid state reaction. Single phase R-P could be obtained in the range of 0.4$_{2-x}$Ca$_{l-x}$Mn$_2$O$_{7}$. About 30% of MR ratio was obtained at 270K when 5 T of magnetic field was applied.ied.ied.ied.

This paper was provided to help in detecting defects in power transformer. For this purpose, a partial discharge cell was designed and manufactured as a discharge source to simulate particle defected paper-oil insulation in power transformer. Experimental set-up for measuring PD signals was described. Magnitude of electromagnetic wave signals and corresponding amount of apparent discharge were measured simultaneously against phase of applied voltage to the discharge cell. Frequency range and pattern of PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) of partial discharge signals were examined and analyzed. The results will be contributed to build the defect database of power transformer and to decrease the substation faults.

To investigate an effect of sintering atmosphere on microstructure and properties of metallic particle dispersed ceramic based composites, the powder mixtures of $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni, synthesized by chemical solution process, were hot-pressed under different atmospheres such as hydrogen or argon gas and different sintering temperature. Hot-pressed composite in a hydrogen atmosphere exhibited less reaction phase of $FeAl_2O_4$ and enhanced mechanical properties than that in an argon atmosphere. Furthermore, decreasing hot-pressing temperature produced a refinement of ceramic matrix and metallic dispersion particles as well as improvement of mechanical properties. The change of mechanical properties in the composites with different sintering conditions was explained by microstructural characteristics relating to reaction phase formation.

Although Fe-Si based alloy has lower figure of merit than Si-Ge alloy applied for space probe, its low cost related to abundant raw material, rather simple processing, high temperature resistance and reliability up to $800^{\circ}C$ made it one of the most promising middle temperature thermoelectric generation materials. The effect of particle size and additive on the thermoelectric properties of p-$FeSi_2$ prepared by a RF inductive furnace was investigated. The electrical conductivity increased slightly with decreasing particle size and hence better grain-to-grain connectivity due to the increase of density. The Seebeck coefficient exhibited the maximum value at about 600~800K and decreased slightly with increasing particle size. This must be due to the amount of residual metallic phase ${\varepsilon}$-FeSi. $Fe_2O_3$ and/or $Fe_3O_4$-doped specimens showed the higher electrical conductivity and the lower Seebeck coefficient due to increase of the metallic phase and Si-vacancy. On the other hand, $SiO_2$-doped specimen showed the higher electrical conductivity and the higher Seebeck coefficients.
