Sintering behavior and microstructure development in the system ZnO-Bi2O3-CoO-Zn7Sb2O12 with Zn7Sb2O12 content(0.1mol%~2mol%) were studied. The pyrochlore phase was formed by the reaction of the Zn7Sb2O12 with Bi2O3 phase during heating (below 90$0^{\circ}C$). The formation temperature of the liquid phase (Bi2O3) was dependent on the Zn7Sb2O12 contents (about 74$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12>1 by the eutectic melting in the ZnOBi2O3 system, and about 110$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 1 by the decomposition of pyrochlore phase). Hence, sintering behavior and microstructure development were determined virtually by the Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 ratio, which were promoted by liquid (Bi2O3) phase and retarded by the pyrochlore (or spinel) phase. The grain growth of ZnO during sintering was sluggish with increasing Zn7Sb2O12 contents.

Perovskite형 PMN 은 약 -12$^{\circ}C$에서 Curie 최대치를 (Tm)를 가지며 1KHz에서 매우 5598;은 유전상수(~18000)를 갖기 때문에 유전체로의 응용이 큰데, PMN의제조시 쉽게 생성되는 Pyrochlore상은 일반적으로 매우 낮은 유전률(⊆210)을 가져 계의 전체 유전률을 크게 저하시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 이런 이유로 이제까지의 연구의 초점의 주로 제조공정중 Pyrochlore 상의 첨가량 및 입자크기에 따른 PMN-Pyrechlore 2상혼합체에서 Prochlore 상의부피분률을 변화시킬 때 유전물의 변화률 GEM(General Effective Media)식을 이용하여 논의하고자한다. Pyrochlore상의 입자크기가 클 경우 2상혼합체 PMN 의 유전률은 Pyrocholre 상의 양이 증가함에 따라 서서히 감소하였으나 입자크기가 작은 겨우 급겨한 갑소를 보였다. 결국 2상의 입자크기 차이는 2상혼합체인 PMN의유전류과 밀접하 ㄴ관계가 있으며. 또한 유전률이 급격히 떨어지는 임계부피분률이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Pyrochlore상의첨가량이 증가함에 따라 2상혼합체인 PMN의 유전률의 변화는 GEM식 적용에 있어서는 임계부피률과 t값을 정확히 정하는 것이 중요한데 임계부피분률의 설정은 Perovskite PMN 과 Pyrochlore상의 입자 크기비를 이용하여 Kusy 이론을 기초로 결정하였으며, t 값은 퍼콜레이션 Power-law식에 적용시켜 정하였다였다

Dielectric properties and the stabilization of perovskite phase for the (1-y)Pb(Mg(1-x)/3Znx/3Znx/3Nb2/3)O3-yBaTiO3 ((1-y)PM1-xZxN-yBT) ceramics have been investigated as a function of amount of x and y. In the (1-y)PM0.6Z0.4N-yBT ceramics, the amount of pyrochlore phae was decreased by the addition of 2 mol% BT and the dielectric constant was increased. However, the dielectric constant decreased with further addition of BT even though pyrochlore phase was decreased. Dielectric prooperties in (1-y)PM0.6Z0.4N-yBT ceracmis were affected by the character of the BT rather than the amount of pyrochlore phase. The phase transitions were broadened and phase transition temperatures were lowered by the increase of BT contents.

Thulium oxide-doped barium titanate ceramics for MLCCs with perovskite structure were prepared by a sintering process at $1320^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in a reduced atmosphere. The effect of $Tm_2O_3$ addition on dielectric property of barium titanate ceramics has been studied in terms of their microstructures. Moreover, the phase identification of the dielectric specimens was conducted to define the secondary phase (pyrochlore). The specimen doped with 1 mol% $Tm_2O_3$ exhibited the highest dielectric constant. However, the dielectric constants of specimens with more than 2 mol% $Tm_2O_3$ to $BaTiO_3$ were the lower values than that of 1 mol% doped one. The grain size and the formation of pyrochlore phase associated with the dielectric properties were examined through morphology development and the structural analysis. Furthermore, these data were compared with the property of the dielectric material doped with $Er_2O_3$. It could be concluded that the dielectric property of ceramic capacitors were attributed to the change of pyrochlore phase and the tetragonality of $BaTiO_3$ with doping.

While sintering the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-BaTiO3 system through solid-reaction route, pyrochlore(Pb3Nb4O13) phase while reduces the dielectric constant is inevitably formed. Substitution of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 with PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 can retard the occurrence of pyrochlore phase. The perovskite solid-solution without containing pyrochlore phase can be obtained when we consolidated the materials consisting of PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 at 1200℃ for 2 hours. The sintered body composed of 0.8Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.1PbTiO3-0.1BaTiO3 composition showed the diffused phase transition(DPT) phenomena and the maximum value of dielectric constant at 0℃ (Tc') with the value of 1.3×104.

Pyrochlore is known as one of the most promising materials for the immobilization of radionuclide in high level waste. This study included the synthesis, phase relation and characteristics of $pyrochlore(CaCeZr_xTi_{2-x}O_{7,\;x=0.2\~2.0)$ in the system of Ca-Ce-Zr-Ti-O. Using the CPS(Cold pressing and sintering) method, the mixtures of $CaCO3_,\;CeO_2,\;ZrO_2\;and\;TiO_2$ oxides were pressed, and sintered at $1100\~1600^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours. The optimal synthetic conditions at various compositions were differed from 1300 to $1600^{\circ}C$ Even in the optimal temperatures, pyrochlore or fluorite coexisted with minor amount of perovskite, $CeO_2\;or\;Ce_{0.75}Zr_{0.25}O_2$. It was confirmed that pyrochlore and fluorite structures were stable at $x\leq0.6\;and\;x\geq1.0$, respectively. Especially, the compositions of pyrochlore or fluorite showed non-stoichiometric compositions in that contents of Ca and Ti were more deficient and those of Zr and Ce were more excess than batch compositions with the increase of x value. These characteristics stemmed from the behavior of elements occupied at eight- and six-coordinated site, and then caused the coexistence of perovskite, $CeO_2\;or\;Ce_{0.75}Zr_{0.25}O_2$ along with pyrochlore or fluorite.

New pyrochlore-type phases($A_2$$B_2$$O_{7}$) were synthesized in the systems: CaO-C$eO_2$-T$iO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-Z$rO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-$Gd_2$$O_3$-T$iO_2$-Z$rO_2$, 및 CaO-T$hO_2$-S$nO_2$. The starting materials were pressed with the pressure of 200~400 MPa and sintered at 1500~ 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 4~8 hours in air and at 1300~ 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 ~50 hours under oxygen atmosphere. The products were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS and TEM. In the bulk compositions of CaCe$Ti_2$$O_{7}$, CaTh$Zr_2$$O_{7}$,($Ca_{0.5}$ Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$) ($Ca_{0.5}$Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$, ($Ca_{0.5}$G$dU_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$ and CaTh$Sn_2$$O_{7}$ , pyrochlore was the major phase, together with other oxide phase $of_2$$O_{7}$ fluorite structure. In the samples with target compositions CaU$Zr_2$$O_2$및 $Ca_{0.5}$ G$dU_{0.5}$)$Zr_2$T$iO_{7}$ pyrochlore was not identified, but a fluorite-structured phase was detected. The formation factor as the stable phase depended on crystal chemical characteristics of the actinide and lanthanide elements of the system concerned.

Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃(denoted as PZT) in the perovskite phase is used as a dielectric, piezoelectric, and super appetizer material owing to its ferroelectric properties. A PZT film was formed by an RF magnetron sputtering process by preparing a target composed of Pb_1.3(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃. The PZT film was formed by dividing the material into a mono-layer PZT produced continuously with the same sputtering power and a bi-layer PZT produced with two-stage sputtering power. The bi-layer PZT consisted of a lower layer produced under low-power sputtering conditions and an upper layer produced under the same conditions as the mono-layer PZT. XRD revealed small amounts of pyrochlore phase in the mono-layer PZT, but only the perovskite phase was detected in the bi-layer PZT. SEM and AFM revealed the upper part of the bi-layer PZT to be more compact and smooth. Moreover, the bi-layered PZT showed superior symmetry polarization and a significantly reduced leakage current of less than 1×10-5 A/cm². This phenomenon observed in bi-layer PZT was attributed to the induction of growth into a pure perovskite phase by suppressing the formation of a pyrochlore phase in the upper PZT layer where the densely formed lower PZT layer was produced sequentially.

Thin films of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}\;nBaTiO_3(n=1&2)$ were prepared using sols erived Ba-Bi-Ti complex alkoxides. The sols were spin-cast onto $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates and followed by pyrolysis for 1 hr at $620^{\circ}C,\;700^{\circ}C\;and\;750^{\circ}C$ In the thin films a pyrochlore phase seemed to be formed at a lower temperature and then tran-formed to the layered perovskite phase as the heating temperature increased. In the thin films pyrolyzed at formed to the layered perovskte phase as the heating temperature increased. In the films pyrolyzed at $750^{\circ}C$ the amount of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ reached to 94% while $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ was 77% in composition. This result shows that the formation of the layered pervoskite phase becomes difficult as the amount of complexing $BaTiO_3$ increases. The microstructures and the electrical properties of the thin films were gen-erally improved with the incease of the heating temperature. However the presence of the pyrochlore phase could not be removed effectively. Our study showed that the electrical properties of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}BaTiO_3$ were pronouncedly improved with complexing with BaTiO3 when compared to those of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ while the presence of the pyrochlore phase was detrimental to the those of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}{\cdot}2BaTiO_3$.

Single phase ruthenium oxides with perovskite (ATi1-xRuxO3 (A=Ca, Sr)) and pyrochlore structure (Bi2Ru2O7, Pb2Ru2O6.5) have been prepared reproducibly by solid state reaction methods and their electrocatalytic activities for oxygen evolution have been examined by Tafel plots. Tafel slopes vary from a low value of 42 mV/decade up to 222 mV/decade at room temperature. The high exchange current densities and high Tafel slopes compared with those obtained from the RuO2 DSA electrode at the crystalline single phase metal oxide electrodes suggest that they are better electrocatalysts at low overpotentials. A favorable change in the Tafel slope for the oxygen evolution reaction occurs as the ruthenium content increases. Substitution of Ti for Ru in the perovskite solid solutions enhanced their chemical stability by losing marginal electrochemical activity.
