Mechanical alloying (MA) by high energy ball mill of pure copper and niobium powders was carried out under the Ar gas atmosphere. The supersaturated solid solution can be produced in the range up to $Cu_xNb_{100-x}$(x=5-30) by MA for 120 hrs, as demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, DSC analysis and the electronic studies through a change in the superconducting transition in the low-temperature specific heat. The $Cu_{30}Nb_{70}$ samples ball-milled for 120 hrs exhibit only a broad exothermic heat release. The total energy, ${\Delta}H_t$ accumulated during MA far the mixture of $Cu_{30}Nb_{70}$ powders increased with milling time and approached the saturation value of 7.5 kJ/mol after 120 h of milling. It can be seen that the free energy difference between the supersaturated solid solution and the mixture of $Cu_{30}Nb_{70}$ powders is estimated to be 7 kJ/mol by Miedema et al. Hence it is thermodynamically possible to assume the formation of a supersaturated solid solution phase in this system.

The sorption of U(Vl) on a domestic granite is studied as a function of experimental conditions such as contact time, solution-solid ratio, ionic strength, and pH using a batch procedure. The distribution coefficients, $K_{d}$＇s, of U(VI) are about 1-100mL/g depending on the experimental conditions. The sorption of U(VI) onto granite particles is greatly dependent upon the contact time, solution-solid ratio, and pH, but very little is dependent on the ionic strength. It is noticed that an U(VI)-carbonate ternary surface complex can be formed in the neutral range of pH. In the alkaline range of pH above 7, U(VI) sorption onto granite particles is greatly decreased due to the formation of anionic U(VI)-carbonate aqueous complexes.s.

The mechanical alloying effect has been studied on the three Cu-based alloy systems with a positive heat of mixing. The extended bcc solid solution has been formed in the Cu-V system and an amorphous phase in the Cu-Ta system. However, it is round that a mixture of nanocrystalline Cu and Mo Is formed in the Cu-Mo system. The neutron diffraction has been employed at a main tool to characterize the detailed amorphization process. The formation of an amorphous phase in Cu-Ta system can be understood by assuming that the smaller Cu atoms preferentially enter into the bcc Ta lattice during ball milling.

Effect of alkali $SO_3$ and $C_2S$ content and cooling condition of clinker on the formation of unstable alkali and cooling condition of clinker on the formation of unstable alkali was investigated. As a result alkali and $SO_3$ content of clinker were the main factors of unstable alkali formation and equation (7) in which the two factors were the variables showed a good agreement with the observed results. Water soluble alkali content of sulphate was decreased with increase of $C_2S$ content of clinker resulted by the increase of solid solution rate of alkali to clinker minerals. But change of unsatble alkali content accordint to the increase of $C_2S$ content was slight. A increasing tendency of ignition loss of clinker with increase of unstable alkali content was found.

The degree of supersaturation is an important measure for the operation of crystallization processes, because it is directly related to the control of crystal size distribution and shape. A conventional technique utilizing solution composition and temperature has a variety of problems caused from the measurement error and the handling of analyzing samples. A monitoring system of the supersaturation using a quartz crystal sensor is proposed here, and its performance is examined applying different manipulations of coolant temperature. The experimental outcome and photographic examination indicate that the measurements of resonant frequency and resistance of the sensor can be used for the prediction of the formation and growth of solid crystal from the crystallization process. The monitoring system eliminates the intrinsic error source of the conventional system to give the improved measurement and on-line application availability.

Herein, the effect of counter anions on the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in a propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolyte solution was investigated. Although the reversible capacities were different, reversible intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium ions occurred in the graphite negative electrode in the PC-based electrolyte solutions containing 1 M $LiClO_4$, $LiPF_6$, $LiBF_4$, and $LiCF_3SO_3$ at low temperature ($-15^{\circ}C$). This indicated that the surface films acted as an effective SEI to suppress further co-intercalation and decomposition reactions at low temperature. However, the SEIs formed at the low temperature were unstable in 1 M $LiPF_6$ and $LiBF_4/PC$ at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). On the other hand, increasing reversible capacity was confirmed in the case of $LiCF_3SO_3/PC$ at room temperature, because the SEI formed at the low temperature was still maintained. These results suggest that counter anions are an important factor to consider for the formation of effective SEIs in PC-based electrolyte solutions.

In this study, a transport model was developed in order to analyze and predict the transport behaviors of radionuclides mediated by pseudo-colloid in the fractured rock media. It was resulted that the transport of Pu-239 was faster than Ni-63 because pseudo-colloid formation constant of Pu-239 was greater than that of Ni-63. Also, the effect of pseudo-colloid formation on the transport of a radionuclide was shown to be very significant when the apparent pseudo colloid formation constant, $K_{ap}(m^{3}/kg)$, was greater than 100. Thus, it can be concluded that acceleration of radionuclide migration may be occurred because the pseudo-colloid formation of radionuclides increases the amount of mobile components in the solution and consequently decreases the amount of radionuclides adsorbed on the stationary solid medium.

Effect of agglomeration of $Nb_20_5$ of the same primary particle size on formation reaction and sintering of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}\;Nb_{2/3})O_3$ was examined. Both solid state reaction and molten salt synthesis were adopted. With decreasing agglomeration of $Nb_20_5$ increased the rate of formation reaction of perovskite PMN in solid state reaction, but had little influence in molten salt synthesis. It was concluded that the increase in the inhomogeneity of the dispersion state of intermediate pyrochlore with increasing agglomeration of $Nb_20_5$ retarded the formation reaction of perovskite PMN in solid state reaction, while had little influnce in molten salt synthesis due to its solution - precipitation mechanism -mainly depends on powder surface area.

The formation of , $\beta$-quartz solid solution in the $LiO_2-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$glasses containing $TiO_{2}$ and $ZrO_{2}$ as nucleating agents was investigated for various temperatures and times. Linear thermal expansion coefficients of base glasses and crystallized glasses were $45\sim 55 \times 10^{-7} \textrm{cm}/^{\circ}C$ and $ -8\sim +8 \times 10^{-7}\textrm{cm}/^{\circ}C$ ($25^{\circ}C \sim 525^{\circ}C$), respectively. The crystal phase formed by heat-treatment below $900^{\circ}C$was , $\beta$--quartz solid solution, and the crystal sizes were less than 0.21m. On the other hand, the crystal size of the base glasses containing 3.5 wt% MgO is relatively uniform and is independent with temperature. The specimen containing 3.5 wt% ZnO shows a minimum crystal size(O.l8$\mu \textrm{m}$), and it strongly depends on temperature of heat-treatment.

Compacts of mixed SiO2-Si powder were liquid phase sintered at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for up to 60 min in a hydrogen atmosphere. In contrast to the conventional microstructures of liquid phase sintered materials, the specimens showed that the solid phase of SiO2 formed a matrix while the liquid phase of Si was the dispersed in the solid matrix. The dispersion of liquid Si pockets was attributed to the high wetting angle of liquid Si on solid SiO2. Because of relatively high solubility of SiO2 in liquid Si at 145$0^{\circ}C$, SiO2 particles accommodated their shape via a solution-reprecipitation process. The liquid Si pockets grew by coalescing with their neighbour pockets. In the latter stage of the sintering, plate-shape grains appeared in the liquid Si pockets. The grains were SiO2 phase precipitated from the liquid Si which was oversaturated with oxygen during cooling to room temperature. By the formation and subsequent removal of the gaseous SiO phase due to the reaction between SiO2 and Si, the specimens became porous.
