Recently, an amount of waste electronic devices such as LED and trichromatic fluorescent lamp has increased with the development of electronic industry. Reportedly, rare earth metals such as yttrium and europium have been discovered in the waste electronic devices. In order to improve the selectivity of yttrium and europium, the effects of the following factors on recovery experiment have been considered : i) fatty acids with various alkyl chain lengths, ii) the concentration of extractant, and iii) pH. The results show that the extraction efficiencies decrease at the same pH with decreasing the concentration of extractant and so $pH_{0.5}$ (That value of pH in an aqueous phase at which the distribution ratio is unity at equilibrium: 50% of the solute is extracted (E = 0.5) only when the phase ratio is unity.) moves into higher pH. The highest selectivity of yttrium and europium was obtained with tetradecanoic acid as extractant. The extraction mechanism of yttrium and europium was varied with the change of concentration of the tetradecanoic acid. $MR_3$single-species was formed from the yttrium and europium ion in the extractant concentration less than 0.1 M. On the other hand, the yttrium or europium ion is solvated with three molecules of tetradecanoic acid monomer like $MR_3{\cdot}$ 3RH in the extractant concentration more than 0.1 M.

Ni base superalloys are composed of solid sohltion hardening elements(Co, Cr. Mo. W and so on) and $\gamma '$ precipitation hardening elements(A1, Ti, Nb, Ta and so on). To Improve the mechanical properties and oxidation resistanre of superalloys, rare earth elements(%r, Hf, Y and so on) are added to the inner substrate, or are used as coating materials. Their pffects on the growth rate and adhes~on of oxide are changed according to the kinds of oxides such as $AI_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3$. The effect of yttrium on the oxidation rate, grain size of oxide, internal structure, and crack resistance was investigated for two kinds of Ni-base superalloys. One in AF'115 superalloy containing Hf and the other is MA6000 superalloy containing $Y_2O_3$. They werr owid~zed at high temperature after yttrium surface modification using ion coater. Yttrium coating on the AF115 and MA6000 superalloys results in a marked change in the growth of the inner oxide. For AF115 superalloy, the degree of gram boundary segregation of $Cr_2O_3$, and prefer en^ tial oxidation of Hf are decreased, and the shape of inner oxidation layer was changed from triangle to plate type. For MA6000 superalloy, $Cr_2O_3$ oxide scale was transformed as outer oxidation layer of CrZOI and inner oxidation layer of $Cr_2O_3$.

It was demonstrated that Y[N(TMS)2]3, the neutral yttrium-diamine complex 13 and yttrium-NPS complexes 15 are efficient precatalysts for intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkynes involving primary amines. Complex 13 and 15 were quantitatively prepared in situ by direct metalation of the ligands 4 and 9 with 1 equiv of Y[N(TMS)2]3 in benzene-d6 at 120 oC for 5 days and 10 days, respectively, via elimination of (TMS)2NH. 5-Exo- and 6-exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkynes using catalyst 12 and 13 proceeded smoothly to give nitrogen-contained cyclic products in good to excellent yields in all cases. In the case of 7- exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination, the desired product was produced in 41% and 48% yields despite the gem-dimethyl effect. However, treatment of catalyst 15 with aminoalkynes (19 and 22) having a methyl substituent at the carbon adjacent to triple bond and 6-exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination of 21 failed to give the desired products. Zirconium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of aminoallenes (25, 27, and 31) with 5 mol% 16 afforded 2-(trans-1-propenyl)pyrrolidine, 2-isopropylenepyrrolidine, and 2-(trans-1- propenyl)piperidine in 96%, 95%, and 93% yield, respectively. However, subjecting 25 to 5 mol% 15 was unsuccessful to produce the desired product.

The oxidation behavior of the crystallized $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ alloy has been investigated with an aim to compare with that of the amorphous $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ alloy. The oxidation at 873 K occurs as follows: (1) growth of an amorphous aluminum-yttrium oxide layer (~10 nm) after heating up to 873 K; and (2) formation of $YAlO_3$ crystalline oxide (~220 nm) after annealing for 30 hours at 873 K. Such an overall oxidation step indicates that the oxidation behavior in the crystallized $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ alloy occurs in the same way as in the amorphous $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$ alloy. The simultaneous presence of aluminum and yttrium in the oxide layer significantly enhances the thermal stability of the amorphous structure in the oxide phase. Since the structure of aluminum-yttrium oxide is dense due to the large difference in ionic radius between aluminum and yttrium ions, the diffusion of oxygen ion through the amorphous oxide layer is limited thus stabilizing the amorphous structure of the oxide phase.

The Ce-doped YAG(Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$) phosphor powders were synthesized by Sol-gel method. The luminescence, formation process and structure of phosphor powders were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and PL. The XRD patterns show that YAG phase can form through sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2h. This temperature is much lower than that required to synthesize YAG phase via the conventional solid state reaction method. There were no intermediate phases such as YAP(Yttrium Aluminum Perovskite, $YAlO_3$) and YAM(Yttrium Aluminum Monoclinic, $Y_4Al_2O_9$) observed in the sintering process. The powders absorbed excitation energy in the range 410~510nm. Also, the crystalline YAG:Ce showed broad emission peaks in the range 480~600nm and had maximum intensity at 528nm.

Epitaxial yttrium-stabilized HfO$_2$ thin films were deposited on p-type (100) Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition at a relatively lower substrate temperature of 550. Transmission electron microscopy observation revealed a fixed orientation relationship between the epitaxial film and Si; that is, (100)Si.(100)HfO$_2$ and [001]Si/[001]HfO$_2$. The film/Si interface is not atomically flat, suggesting possible interfacial reaction and diffusion, X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis also revealed the interfacial reaction and diffusion evidenced by Hf silicate and Hf-Si bond formation at the interface. The epitaxial growth of the yttrium stabilized HfO$_2$ thin film on bare Si is via a direct growth mechanism without involoving the reaction between Hf atoms and SiO$_2$ layer. High-frequency capacitance-voltage measurement on an as-grown 40-A yttrium-stabilized HfO$_2$ epitaxial film yielded an dielectric constant of about 14 and equivalent oxide thickness to SiO$_2$ of 12 A. The leakage current density is 7.0${\times}$ 10e-2 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 1V gate bias voltage.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the metameric disparities among monolithic zirconia materials with differing yttrium compositions across various lighting conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six square-shaped zirconia samples measuring 10 × 10 × 0.5 mm were prepared from monolithic zirconia materials with three different yttrium contents. A 0.2 mm thick layer of polymerized dual-polymerizable self-adhesive resin cement was created using a silicone mold with the same dimensions as the prepared zirconia specimens. To evaluate metamerism, color measurements were conducted using a spectrophotometer device on a neutral gray background in a color measurement cabinet that offers four different illumination environments. All samples underwent aging by subjecting them to 10000 thermal cycles using a thermal cycle tester. Following thermal aging, color measurements were taken once more, and the data were recorded using the CIE L^*, a^*, b^* color system. Two-way ANOVA and Post-hoc Bonferroni tests were employed to analyze the data. RESULTS. It was observed that there was no statistical difference among the color measurements made in different illumination environments of the monolithic zirconia ceramics used to evaluate metamerism (P > .05). This observation remained consistent both before and after thermal aging. After thermal aging, the color of monolithic zirconia materials exhibited a tendency towards red and yellow hues, accompanied by a decrease in brightness levels. CONCLUSION. It can be stated that different illumination conditions did not affect the metamerism of monolithic zirconia materials, but there was a color change in monolithic zirconia materials after a thermal aging period equivalent to one year.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser in different output powers for removing permanent resin cement residues and therefore its influence on microshear bond strength compared to other cleaning methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 90 extracted human molars were sectioned in 1 mm thickness. Resin cement was applied to surface of sliced teeth. After the removal of initial cement, 6 test groups were prepared by various dentin surface treatment methods as follows: no treatment (Group 1), ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid application (Group 2), Endosolv R application (Group 3), 1.25 W Erbium, Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser irradiation (Group 4), 2 W Erbium, Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser irradiation (Group 5) and 3.5 W Erbium, Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser irradiation (Group 6). The topography and morphology of the treated dentin surfaces were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (n=2 for each group). Following the repetitive cementation, microshear bond strength between dentin and cement (n=26 in per group) were measured with universal testing machine and the data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis H Test with Bonferroni correction (P<.05). Fracture patterns were investigated by light microscope. RESULTS. Mean microshear bond strength ${\pm}$ SD (MPa) for each group was $34.9{\pm}17.7$, $32.1{\pm}15.8$, $37.8{\pm}19.3$, $31.3{\pm}12.7$, $44.4{\pm}13.6$, $40.2{\pm}13.2$ respectively. Group 5 showed significantly difference from Group 1, Group 2 and Group 4. Also, Group 6 was found statistically different from Group 4. CONCLUSION. 2 W and 3.5 W Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser application were found efficient in removing resin residues.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the surface roughness, phase transformation, and surface topography of dental zirconia with three different yttrium oxide compositions under same grinding and polishing conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three zirconia disks (IPS e.max ZirCAD LT, MT, MT multi, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were selected for experimental materials. Sixty-nine bar-shaped specimens were fabricated as 12.0 × 6.0 × 4.0 mm using a milling machine and glazing was conducted on 12.0 × 6.0 mm surface by same operator. With a custom polishing device, 12.0 × 6.0 mm surfaces were polished under same condition. Surface roughness (Ra[㎛]) was measured before grinding (C), after grinding (G), and at every 3 steps of polishing (P1, P2, P3). X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM observation was conducted before grinding, after grinding, and after fine polishing (P3). Statistical analysis of surface roughness was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney-U test was used as a post hoc test (α = .05). RESULTS. There were no significant differences of surface roughness between LT, MT, and MM groups. In LT, MT, and MM groups, P3 groups showed significantly lower surface roughness than C groups. X-ray diffraction showed grinding and polishing didn't lead to phase transformation on zirconia surface. In FE-SEM images, growths in grain size of zirconia were observed as yttrium oxide composition increases. CONCLUSION. Polished zirconia surface showed clinically acceptable surface roughness, but difference in yttrium oxide composition had no significant influence on the surface roughness. Therefore, in clinical situation, zirconia polishing burs could be used regardless of yttrium oxide composition.
