Material Characteristics of zirconium oxide thin films obtained by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on p-type Si(100) substrates were investigated to explain their unable electrical properties. The films obtained without heating had polycrystalline nanograins that are mostly of a tetragonal phase under oxygen-deficient plasma conditions but transformed into a monoclinic phase with increasing $O_2$ addition in the plasma. Mostly amorphous bulk $ZrO_2$ with a relatively thicker and smoother interfacial layer was obtained from oxygen-rich plasmas, resulting in a decrease in both the overall dielectric constant and the leakage current density. the interfacial layer formed between the bulk $ZrO_2$ and Si substrate was analyzed to be zirconium silicate, which approached $SiO_2$ as its zirconium content decreased with the increasing gas phase $O_2$ content.

Electroactive monolayers based on zirconium(Ⅳ) phosphonate film were prepared on gold and tin oxide electrodes by sequential layer-by-layer depostion technique. High transfer coefficient values and surface coverages of surface bound redox molecules were obtained from the electrochemical measurements of heterogeneous electron transfer rates for monolayer modified electrodes. 1,10-Decanediylbis(phosphonic acid) (DBPA) monolayer as insulating barrier was effective in blocking electron transfer. However, these film modified oxide electrode shows voltammetric behavior of diffusion/permeation process taking place at very small exposed area of modified electrode through channels due to structural defects within film when a very fast redox couple such as Ru(NH3)63+ is hired.

1. The oxide thickness on the fuelled test rods was within the following range from 7 ${\mu}m$ to 17 ${\mu}m$. In general, the HANA claddings showed better corrosion behavior than the two reference alloys (A-Cladding and Zr-4). 2. The weight gains of corrosion coupons were ranged from 21 to 56 mg/$dm^2$.

Zirconium titanate($Zr_xTi_{1-x}O_2$)와 같은 다성분계 금속산화물의 박막을 형성함에 있어 비교적 저온에서 박막성분 간의 정확한 조성조절이 이루어지며 균일한 박막특성을 같게 하는 새로운 박막제조 공정방법을 제시하였다. 이 공정방법은 우선 다성분계 금속산화박막을 구성하는 단성분계 금속산화막들을 적층식구조로 형성하여 적절한 열처리로 고상확산 반응을 통한 단일상 다성분계 박막을 형성하는 것을 특징으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 단성분계 산화박막층을 형성하는 방법으로 나노두께의 박막을 형성할 수 있는 능력과 두께조절성이 우수한 PRTMOCVD(pulsed rapid thermal metalorganic chemical vapor deposition) 법이 개발 적용하였다. PRTMOCVD 법으로 $ZrO_2$와 $TiO_2$ 단성분 산화막의 두께를 제어하면서 교차로 적층시킨 후 $850^{\circ}C$의 질소분위기에서 30분간 열처리를 통한 박막간의 상호확산을 통해 $Zr_xTi_{1-x}O_2$ 다성분계 산화박막을 형성하였다. 박막내의 Zr과 Ti의 조성은 $ZrO_2$와 $TiO_2$ 단성분 산화막의 두께로 조절하였다. 형성된 $Zr_xTi_{1-x}O_2$ 박막에 대한 상세한 물성을 분석하였다.

The effect of Cu addition on the corrosion characteristics of Zr alloys that developed for nuclear fuel cladding in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) was evaluated. The alloys having different element of Nb, Sn, Fe, Cr and Cu were manufactured and the corrosion tests of the alloys were performed in static autoclave at $360^{\circ}C$, distilled water condition. The alloys were also examined for their microstructures using the optical microscope and the TEM equipped with EDS and the oxide property was characterized by using X-ray diffraction. From the result of corrosion test more than 450 days, the corrosion rate of the Zr-based alloys was changed with alloying element such as Nb, Sn, Fe, Cr and especially affected by Cu addition. The corrosion resistance was increased with increasing the Cu content and the tetragonal $ZrO_2$ layer was more stabilized on the Cu-containing alloys.

A colorless and transparent zirconium oxide ($Zr_{0.73}Y_{0.27}O_{1.87}$) crystal has been synthesized by the Bridgman-Stockbager method. The gem-quality material is produced by adding 20${\sim}$25 wt.% $Y_2O_3$ (stabilizer) and 0.04 wt.% $Nd_2O_3$ (decolorising agent) to the $ZrO_2$ powder. It shows a vitreous luster with a slight oily appearance. Under a polarizing microscope, it shows isotropic nature with no appreciable anisotropism. Mohs hardness value and specific gravity is measured to be 8${\sim}$$8{\frac{1}{2}}$ and 5.85, respectively. Under ultraviolet light it shows a faint white glow. The crystal structure of yttria-stabilized zirconia with 0.27 at.% Y has been re-investigated, using single crystal X-ray diffraction, and confirmed to be a cubic symmetry, space group $Fm{\overline{3}}m$ ($O^5_h$) with a=5.1552(5) ${{\AA}}$, V=136.99(5) ${{\AA}}^3$, Z=4. The stabilizer atoms randomly occupy the zirconium sites and there are displacements of oxygen atoms with amplitudes of ${\Delta}/a{\sim}$0.033 and 0.11 along <110> and <111> from the ideal positions of the fluorite structure, respectively.

To investigate the effect of hydrogen and oxygen contents on hydride reorientations during cool-down processes, zirconium-niobium cladding tube specimens were hydrogen-charged before some specimens were oxidized, resulting in 250 ppm and 500 ppm hydrogen-charged specimens containing no oxide and an oxide thickness of $0.38{\mu}m$ at each surface. The nonoxidized and oxidized hydrogen-charged specimens were heated up to $400^{\circ}C$ and then cooled down to room temperature at cooling rates of $0.3^{\circ}C/min$ and $8.0^{\circ}C/min$ under a tensile hoop stress of 150 MPa. The lower hydrogen contents and the slower cooling rate generated a larger fraction of radial hydrides, a longer radial hydride length, and a lower ultimate tensile strength and plastic elongation. In addition, the oxidized specimens generated a smaller fraction of radial hydrides and a lower ultimate tensile strength and plastic elongation than the nonoxidized specimens. This may be due to: a solubility difference between room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$; an oxygen-induced increase in hydrogen solubility and radial hydride nucleation energy; high temperature residence time during the cool-down; or undissolved circumferential hydrides at $400^{\circ}C$.
