Nonstoichiometry($\delta$) and the phase stability region of a ferrite spinel (Mg0.29Fe0.71)3-$\delta$O4 have been investigated by a coulometric titration method as a function of temperature(T) and oxygen partial pressure(Po2). It has been found that the spinel is thermodynamically stable in the ranges -8.0$\leq$log(PO2/atm)$\leq$-2.4, -7.0$\leq$log(PO2/atm)$\leq$-1.7 respectvely at 100$0^{\circ}C$. The nonstoichiometry extends over the ranges of -0.004$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$0.007, -0.008$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$0.006, -0.033$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$0.004 at 100$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$, respectvely. The observed PO2-dependence of $\delta$ suggests that the majority ionic defects are cation interstitials in the low PO2 region and cation vacancies in the high PO2 region.

Brazing of Fe-Cr-Al alloy was carried out at $1200^{\circ}C$ in vacuum furnace using nickel-based filler metals : BNi-5 powder(Ni-Cr-Si-Fe base alloy} and MBF-50 foil (Ni-Cr-Si-B). The effect of boron content on the stability of oxide scale on the brazed joint was investigated by means of cyclic oxidation test performed at $1050^{\circ}C$ and $1200^{\circ}C$. Apparently, the joints brazed with MBF-50 containing boron showed relatively stable oxidation rates compared to boron-free BNi-5 at both temperatures. However, it was considered that the slower weight loss of MBF-50 brazed specimen wasn’t resulted from the low oxidation rate but from the spallation of oxide layer. The oxide layer consisted of thick spinel oxide on the surface and $Al_2 O_3$ internal oxide layer along the interface between mother alloy and braze, the mother alloy was also eroded seriously by the formation of spinel oxides such as $FeCr_2 O_4$ and $NiCr_2 O_4$ on the surface, likely to be induced by the change of oxide forming mechanism due to diffusion of boron from the braze. On the contrary, the joint brazed with BNi-5 showed the good oxidation resistance during the cyclic oxidation test. It seems that the oxidation can be retarded by the formation of stable $Al_2 O_3$ layer at the surface.

The recombination of oxygen and nitrogen atoms on the surfaces of two coating m materials of the Space Shuttle Orbiter (SSO), a reaction cured glass (RCG) and a spinel (C742), was investigated. The recombination probability, $\gamma$, i.e., the probability that atoms im p pinging on the surface will recombine, was measured in a diffusion reactor. Value of $\gamma$ for oxy g gen atom on C742 ($3 {\times} 10^{-2}$) was much higher than that on RCG ($4 {\times} 10^{-4}$) at the tempera t ture of SSO re-entry (ca. 1000K). The higher value of $\gamma$ on C742 indicates a higher number d density of active sites than RCG. It suggests the possibility of designing less active surfaces by i inducing the desorption at lower temperature.

In these recent years, low cost and stable battery electrode materials have been studied for HV/HEV application. Spinel cathode material $LiMn_2O_4$ is widely studied as a promising cathode material of lithium ion secondary batteries because of it is low cost, easily to be prepared and capable to be operated in high voltage range. In this study, $LiMn_2O_4$ was undergoing surface modification with spinel lithium titanium oxide by sol-gel method in order to enhance its capacity retention. Properties of both unmodified and surface-modified $LiMn_2O_4$ were characterized by XRD, SEM, particle size analyzer while their cycling performance was tested with charge and discharge tester.

The effects of Cr2O3 content on the properties of direct-bonded MgO-Cr2O3 bricks were investigated in the range of 10 to 30 wt% of Cr2O3. Modulus of rupture of bricks was excellent in about 20 wt% of Cr2O3 content. The corrosion resistance of bricks was improved by increasing Cr2O3 content and was directly pro-portional to the amount of secondary spinels. On the other hand, the spalling resistance of bricks depended on the amount of flux rather than Cr2O3 content.

A N₂H₄-Cu(I)-HNO₃ solution was used to dissolve magnetite powders and a simulated oxide film on Inconel 600. The addition of Cu(I) ions to N₂H₄-HNO₃ increased the dissolution rate of magnetite, and the reaction rate was found to depend on the solution pH, temperature, and [N₂H₄]. The dissolution of magnetite in the N₂H₄-Cu(I)-HNO₃ solution followed the contracting core law. This suggests that the complexes of [Cu⁺(N₂H₄)] formed in the solution increased the dissolution rate. The dissolution reaction is explained by the complex formation, adsorption of the complexes onto the surface ferric ions of magnetite, and the effective electron transfer from the complexes to ferric ions. The oxide film formed on Inconel 600 is satisfactorily dissolved through the successive iteration of oxidation and reductive dissolution steps.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the $Mg_{1-x}Zn_xFeAlO_4\;(0{\leq}x\leq1.0)$ have been investigated by means of x-ray diffractometry and $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The samples$(0{\leq}x\leq1.0)$ have been prepared by the ceramic sintering method. The x-ray diffraction pattern shows that the crystal structure of the samples is a cubic spinel type. The lattice constant has been found by extrapolation using the Nelson-Riley function and it increases slightly from $8.3496\AA\;to\;8.4128\AA$ with Zn concentration. The $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra for x<0.4 show a superposition of two sextets ana a paramagnetic doublet at room temperature. The superparamagnetic doublet for x<0.4 seems to be due to Al ion in tetrahedral site by the superparamagnetic clustering effect.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the $Ni_{1-x} Cd_xFeAlO_4$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.5) have been investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The samples($0\leq$x$\leq$0.5) have been prepared by the ceramic sintering method. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the crystal structure of the samples is a cubic spinel type. The lattice constant has been found by extrapolation using the Nelson- Riley function and it increases slightly from $8.321{\AA}$ to $8.410{\AA}$ with Cd concentration. The Mossbauer spectra for x<0.4 show a superposition of two sextets and a paramagnetic doublet at room temperature. The cation distribution for x=0 was determined to be $[Fe_{0.75}Al_{0.25}]^A[NiFe_{0.25}Al_{0.75}^BO_4$. The superparamagnetic doublet for x< 0.4 seems to be due to A1 ion in tetrahedral site by the superparamagnetic clustering effect.

Interface effects on properties of NTC thermistors having Mn-Co-O spinel crytal structure system are analyzed by a mixing rule in case of mixed types and layered types between CuO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ added compounds. With adding CuO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$, The compounds form completely solid solution and their resistance and B constant are changed due to the variation of conduction electrons by their ionic substitutions. The properties of mixed NTC thermistors are depended on the logarithmic mixing rule by a dispersed phase and they show slightly lower values due to the lattice mixing affect in compared with calculated values. The resistance of layered NTC thennistors is depended upon the series mixing rule containing the value of an interface layer and effected by the variation of its thickness, and it is changed rapidly to the logarithmic mixing rule by the connection between two layers with increasing the interface layer.

Discrete-variational(DV)-$X{\alpha}$ method was applied to investigate the electronic structures of spinel- type manganese oxide which is well known to the high performance adsorbent or cathode material for lithium ion. The results of DOS(density of states) and Mulliken population analysis showed that Li was nearly fully ionized and interactions between Mn and O were strong covalent bond. The effective charge of Li and Mn was +0.77 and +1.44 respectively and the overlap population between Mn and O was 0.252 in $LiMn_2O_4$. These results from DV-X$\alpha$ method were well coincided with the experimental result by XPS analysis and supported the feasibility of theoretical interpretation for the $LiMn_2O_4$ compound.
