In this work, Ta-substituted $Li_7La_3Zr_{2-x}O_{12}$ (LLZTO) powder and pellets with garnet cubic structure were fabricated and characterized by modified and optimized sol-gel synthesis. Ta-substituted LLZO powder with the smallest grain size and pure cubic structure with little pyrochlore phase was obtained by synthesis method in which Li and La sources in propanol solvent were mixed together with Zr and Ta sources in 2-methoxy ethanol. The LLZTO pellets made with the prepared powder showed cubic garnet structure for all conditions when the amount of Li addition was varied from 6.2 to 7.4 mol. All the X-ray peaks of the pyrochlore phase disappeared when the Li addition was increased above 7.0 mol. When the final sintering temperature was varied, the LLZTO pellet had a pyrochlore-mixed cubic phase above $1000^{\circ}C$. However, the surface morphology became much denser when the final sintering temperature was increased. The sol-gel-driven LLZTO pellet with a sintering temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$ showed a lithium ionic conductivity of 0.21 mS/cm when Au was adopted as electrode material for the blocking capacitor. The results of this study suggest that modified sol-gel synthesis is the optimum method to obtain cubic phase of LLZTO powder for highly dense and conductive solid electrolyte ceramics.

본 연구에서는 $850^{\circ}C$의 $CaCl_2$ 용융염계에서 전해환원공정을 통해 $TiO_2$로부터 금속티타늄을 제조하였다. Ni-$TiO_2$ 조합전극을 환원전극으로 그라파이트를 산화전극으로 사용하였으며, 셀전위를 제어하면서 $TiO_2$의 전해환원 특성을 관찰하였다. XRD 분석을 통해 $TiO_2$가 $CaTiO_3$, $Ti_2O$, $Ti_6O$와 같은 다양한 반응 중간생성물을 거쳐 Ti 스폰지로 환원되는 것이 밝혀졌다. 또한 SEM 분석을 통해 $TiO_2$ 전해환원 반응동안 펠렛의 바깥표면부터 환원반응이 시작되어 펠렛중심으로 진행이 되는 것이 확인되었다. 전해환원 반응도중 환원된 티타늄금속은 초기에는 다공성 스폰지 구조를 보이나 고온에서 반응이 진행됨에 따라 점차 소결에 의해 수축되어 다공성 구조가 사라지는 현상을 보였다.

Various types of compounds were tested with the aspects of decomposition and formation of residue in a $CO_2$ or 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The evaporation temperature range of each compound was determined from thermogravimetric curve. Decomposition of dicarbon amide, stearic acid, acrowax and zinc stearate was studied by thermogravimetry in $CO_2$ or in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. All compounds were decomposed in $CO_2$ atmosphere at lower than 40$0^{\circ}C$, but the residue, ZnO remained for zinc stearate. ZnO did not decompose in $CO_2$ atmosphere up to 130$0^{\circ}C$, but reduced into Zn metal and disappeared in the temperature range of $600^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The effect of residue, which trapped in closed pores of sintered pellet, on the thermal stability was studied using the resintering test at 1$700^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. In the case of oxidative sintered pellet with admixing zinc stearate, the cavity formation accompanied with a density drop after resintering is due to the pressure of the Zn gases trapped in the isolated pores.

20mol% Gd-doped CeO2 ultrafine powders as a promising electrolyte for the low temperature solid ox-ide fuel cells were synthesized with particle sizes of 15-20 nm using glycine nitrate process(GNP) fol-lowed by sintering their pellets at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for various times in air and then the electrical properties of the sintered pellets were investigated. The sintering behaviors and electrical properties for the sintered 20 sintered mol% Gd-doped CeO2 pellets were analyzed using dilatometer and SEM and AC two-terminal impedance technique respectively. As the heating temperature increased the synthesized powder had the sintering behaviors to show the start of the significant shrink at temperature of about $700^{\circ}C$ and to show the end of the shrink at the temperature of about 147$0^{\circ}C$. When the pellets were sintered with the vaious times at 150$0^{\circ}C$ the temperatuer which the shrink had been already completed the grain sizes in the sintered 20 mol% Gd-doped GeO2 pellets increased with the increase of the sintering time but their electrical resis-tivities showed the minimum value at the sintering time of 10h. It is due that the pellet sintered for 10h had the minimum activation energy fior the electtrical conduction. Thus it is thought that the decrease of the activation energy with the increase of the sintering time to 10h is induced by the enhanced mi-crostructure like the decrease of pore amount and the grain growth and its increase with the sintering times more than 10h is induced by the increase of the amounts of the impurities such as Mg. Al and Si from the sintering atmosphere.

In order to make a $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) sputtering target sintered for solar cell application, synthesis of CZTSe compound by solid state reaction of Cu, Zn, Sn and Se mixed powders and effects of ball milling condition on sinterability such as ball size, combination of ball size, ball milling time and sintering temperature, was investigated. As a result of this research, sintering at $500^{\circ}C$ after ball milling using mixed balls of 1 mm and 3 mm for 72 hours was the optimum condition to synthesis near stoichiometric composition of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ and to prepare sintered pellet with high density relatively.

고연소도 경수로사용후핵연료를 이용하여 voloxidation 및 소결 열처리 공정으로부터 세슘의 시간에 따른 방출 거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 사용후핵연료 voloxidation 공정에서는 fragment 형태의 시편을 사용하여 최대 $1,500^{\circ}C$의 산화 및 환원 분위기에 따른 세슘 방출 거동을 상호 비교하였으며, 소결 공정에서는 압분체를 이용하여 4% H2/Ar 환원분위기 에서 열처리 온도 변화에 따른 세슘방출 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 산화 분위기에서 fragment 형태의 사용후핵연료로부터 세슘 방출 온도 구간은 $800{\circ}C{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$였으며, 환원 분위기에서 압분체로부터 방출 온도 구간은 $1,100{\circ}C{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$로서, 산화에 의한 사용후핵 연료의 분말화가 세슘 방출 거동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 사용후핵 연료로부터 세슘 방출 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자는 사용후핵 연료내 세슘 화합물의 화학적 형태뿐만 아니라 결정립 및 핵연료 표면으로의 확산 속도에 지배를 받음을 알 수 있었다.

Nb$_2$O$_{5}$가 첨가된 $UO_2$ 소결체의 미세조직을 수소와 이산화탄소 분위기에서 연구하였다. Pellet을 1$700^{\circ}C$ 수소분위기 그리고 130$0^{\circ}C$ 이산화탄소 분위기에서 1-41 시간 동안 소결하였다. Nb$_2$O$_{5}$를 첨가하면 큰 기공들이 형성되고, 이 기공들은 수소분위기에서는 어느정도 수축하지만 이산화탄소 분위기에서는 거의 소멸하지 않는다. 작은 기공들은 수소분위기에서는 거의 전부 소멸되며 이산화탄소 분위기에서는 거의 소멸하지 않는다. 그리고 결정립의 크기도 수소분위기에서 훨씬 증대한다. 따라서 Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ 첨가에 의한 우라늄 확산은 수소분위기에서 훨씬 증가하는 것으로 생각된다. 수소 분위기에서 소결한 Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ 첨가 $UO_2$ pellet의 미세조직을 노내성능의 관점에서 평가하였다. 우라늄 확산의 증가를 설명하기 위해서 Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ 첨가에 의해서 형성 가능한 결함들을 고찰하였다.함들을 고찰하였다.

We have investigated the electro-optical characteristics of AC-PDP with different MgO protective layers, which have been deposited by electron beam evaporation from various sintered pellets with different temperatures. We have measured the secondary electron emission coefficient ($\gamma$) by using the Gamma Focused Ion Beam ($\gamma$-FIB) system, the static margin, and the address delay time. Also, we have investigated photoluminescence (PL) characteristics for understanding the energy levels of MgO pellets and protective layers.

Porous and net-shaped tantalum powder for a capacitor was formulated in a SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) process. However, this powder, which has weak strength among its particles and low flow ability, cannot be used for a capacitor. Therefore, this powder was sintered in a high-vacuum furnace to increase agglomeration to improve the flow ability, bonding strength among the particles, and shrinkage during pellet sintering. Finally, it was deoxidated with 2 wt% Mg powder to remove the increased surface oxygen that arose during the sintering process. The final product was analyzed in terms of its chemical and physical properties and was compared with a commercial powder used by a capacitor manufacturer.
