Direct nitridation of Al-alloys such as Al-Y, Al-Ca, and Al-Li was investigated with particular emphasis on the alloy composition, reaction temperature and reaction time. The alloys Al-2.3wt% Li, Al-5.0wt% Li and Al-5.0wt% Ca converted completely to AlN in very short soaking time at 1000°C. For Al-1.0wt% Li and Al-0.5wt% Li conversion ratios at 1000°C for 5h were 28.2 and 12.6%, respectively. On the other hand, no noticeable reaction was seen for Al-Y alloy and pure Al. The product from Al-Ca alloy was difficult to crush, which seemed to be a disadvantage for AlN powder synthesis. The reaction using Al-2.3wt% Li alloy could be divided into three categories: namely, surface nitridation, volume nitridation and breakaway nitridation. In the surface nitridation, the conversion ratio was very low, indicating the thickness of AlN layer was several tens of micron meters. In the volume nitridation the conversion ratio was in the extent of about 10%, and AlN porous surface layer formed. In the breakaway nitridation, complete conversion to AlN was attained, and the product greatly expanded to show no trace of the original form. The AlN product in the breakaway nitridation consisted of rod-like, plate-like and spherical grains. The size increased with increasing reaction temperature.

The mechanism of the changes in the refractive index of sol-gel derived 80TiO
2⋅20SiO
2 films dip-coated on commercial soda-lime-silicate glass and silicon wafer has been investigated by the ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As the drying time after coating increased, the refractive index increased along with the decrease in film thickness by the evaporation of ethanol and water which were produced by the hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction. The refractive index of films coated on glass substrate was markedly lower than that coated on silicon wafer. This was due to sodium ions in films, which diffused from glass substrate and induced Na

2Ti
6O
16 phase formation in the film. The refractive index of thick films was higher than that of thin films because sodium ion took more time to diffuse through thick films. The increase in the refractive index along with the decrease in the thickness of films prepared by the fast heating process was due to the sudden collapse and fast shrinkage of gel film before polycondensation reaction and thus to the higher packing density of film.

The crystal system of BCC (basic calcium carbonate) was determined by analyzing XRD patterns and SAED spot patterns. It was proved that the BCC was assigned to an orthorhombic system, having the lattice constants of
a=7.094Å,
b=8.627Å, and
c=6.558Å. The decomposition process of BCC in water at 40-80°C was investigated by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, and SAED. XRD measurement showed that BCC decomposed to Ca(OH)
2, calcite, and aragonite. Elevation of the slurry temperature resulted in an exponential increase of the decomposition rate and a decrease of the yield of aragonite. SEM, TEM observations and SAED measurement indicated that CaCO
3 (calcite and aragonite) deposited on the surface of BCC particles resulting from the dissolution of Ca
2+ ion from BCC in the early stage of decomposition. With progress of decomposition, the aragonite grew in the [001] direction and the number of calcite particles increased. Ca
2+ ion dissolved into the liquid phase precipitated as Ca(OH)
2 and grew to large single crystals with progress of the decomposition.

Gold-dispersed BaTiO
3 thin films and gold-dispersed SiO
2 thin films were prepared by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. The as-deposited films were heat-treated in air at temperature ranging from 700 to 900°C for 1h, and were compared to the optical properties of these films. For the SiO
2 matrix, an absorption peak position shifted toward longer wavelength from 520 to 535nm as the volume fraction of gold increases, and gold fine particles were spherical and were uniformly dispersed in the films. In contrast, for the BaTiO
3 matrix, an absorption peak position shifted from 580 to 640nm. The matrix had substantially crystallized, and the size of matrix grain and the gold particle size varied widely. The nonlinear optical property of these thin films was measured by the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) method using a frequency-doubled Nd: YAG laser with 7ns pulse duration. Third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ
(3) of gold-dispersed BaTiO
3 films increased with increasing the heat-treating temperature, volume fraction of gold in these films and the mean particle size of gold. The values of χ
(3)/α
532 of BaTiO

3N
4 ceramics and the SiC whisker-reinforced Si
3N
4 ceramics (within 14-20GPa) were greater than the conventional Si
3N
4 (10-12.5GPa). It was found that the strength of Si
3N
4 ceramics under shock compression is strongly influenced by their microstructure, and the key to the high Hugoniot-elastic limit is to achieve a fine-grained microstructure or a composite structure containing high-strength materials such as SiC whiskers. It was also pointed out that the yield strength per unit weight under shock compression of the Si
3N
4 monolithic ceramics was proportinal to the static strength, but the yield strength per unit weight under shock compression of the SiC whisker reinforced Si
3N
4 was comparatively larger than that of monolithic Si
3N
4. In addition, it was suggested that the Hugoniot-measurement experiments are useful for evaluating the performance of ceramics, because the ceramics show the strength close to the intrinsic value under shock compression, due to the very high strain rate at the shock wave front.

The average and maximum shear strengths of the joint with a coating layer of 20μm in thickness were 209 and 258MPa, respectively. Those of the joint without the coating layer were 149 and 218MPa, respectively. The Weibull slopes for the shear strength were 9.4 in the former and 3.8 in the latter. It was considered that the coating layer played an important role as an active layer of interfacial reaction and as a relaxation layer of thermal stress in the joint. The difference in interfacial structures between these joints was also discussed on the basis of TEM observation.

Material characteristics of powder compacts are closely related to the packing structure of particle aggregates. In order to express the microscopic structure, a probability function of regular-shaped voids in the interspaces among particles over a cross section of the compact was studied theoretically and experimentally. It was found that the regular shape of the voids is normally circular, and that the void diameter becomes small and uniform for low voidage and narrow size distribution of particles. The reduction and uniformity of void diameter has been attributed to an increase in the number of smaller particle sections. The actual existence probability of any void is lower than the theoretical prediction because of the ineffective void spaces which are formed in the packing of regular-shaped voids among interparticle void spaces. The difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities of voids was correlated by a simple equation based on the total void spaces available.

The pyrolysis of the low oxygen (1.7% O) SiC fiber prepared by the electron-irradiation curing method has been investigated. The pyrolytic rate was measured with a thermobalance in Ar at temperatures from 1673 to 1973K. The pyrolyzed fiber was examined by X-ray diffraction, SEM observation, specific resistance measurement and tensile test. Lowering of oxygen content in the fiber was found to be effective for the suppression of pyrolysis. The pyrolyzed fiber was composed of β-SiC and amorphous carbon. The growth and coarsening of SiC crystals were observed on the skin of the fiber, while the core was smooth and remained in the microcrystalline state. The tensile strength of the fiber, which was heated at 1973K for 3.6ks, retained 34% of that of the original fiber. The strength was correlated closely with the size of the β-SiC crystal in the fiber.

KIC was measured by the controlled surface flaw method and the chevron notched beam method. The value of
KIC by the CSF method was 3.8MPa√m at a grain size of 1.8μm. It increased with the increase in grain size, and reached 4.5MPa√m at grain sizes larger than 30μm. The value of
KIC by the CN method nearly agreed to the value of
KIC by the CSF method. The fraction of transgranular fracture was 10% at a grain size of 1.8μm. It increased with the increase in grain size, and reached about 30% at grain sizes larger than 30μm. The critical energy release rate calculated from
KIC linearly changed depending on the fraction of transgranular fracture. Consequently, it was shown that the change in frature toughness
KIC of polycrystalline Al

3N
4 to SiC at a constant temperature showed a maximum near the atomic ratio (C/Si) of 0.3 without obeying the theory of composite. This was assumed that the electrical conduction of the SiN

It increases with increasing amount of adsorbed di-valent cations and decreases with increasing amount of adsorbed tri-valent cations, especially Al

This paper presents a novel characterization method which can reveal the presence of large crystalline particles of very low concentration and particle orientation in optically anisotropic granules, i.e. alumina. It involves an adequate immersion liquid which makes granules transparent and subsequent polarized optical microscopic examination. Large alumina particles are easily detected by this method: They are clearly visible under the crossed polarized light mode. Particle orientation in the matrix particles was also noted: Dark cross pattern appeared on the granules, showing the orientation of particle along the tangential direction of granules. The significance of these features for ceramic processing was discussed.

3 ceramics substituted with Sr on the La site and with Zn, Cu and Li on the Cr site were prepared and investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis at room temperature and thermal expansion measurement in the range of 25 to 800°C. Single-phase solid solutions were obtained for the substitutions of Zn and Cu up to 20 and 15%, respectively. The transition temperature from an orthorhombic structure to a rhombohedral structure was determined from the inflection of the thermal expansion curve. While the substitution of Sr decreased the volume of the pseudocubic cell, lowering the transition temperature, the substitutions of Zn and Cu increased the volume, raising the transition temperature. The tolerance factor seems to affect the transition behavior. The substitutions of Sr, Zn, Cu and Li resulted in an increase in the thermal expansion coefficient. The relation between the thermal expansion coefficient and the melting point of component oxides as well as the transition temperature was discussed.

Surface oxygen content in as received and oxidized silicon nitride powders was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and chemical analysis. In the as received powders, the average difference in the measured values by the two methods was about 40%. It is suggested that the difference is due to some irrelevancies of the models on which these methods are based. On the other hand, the correlation of the results for the oxidized powders was reasonable. The agreement between the increment of the surface oxygen content and that of the total oxygen content in the oxidized powders was better for the XPS measurements.

Ni-Zn ferrite thin films were prepared on fused silica plates by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) flash evaporation method using ultrasonically atomized aqueous solutions of corresponding metal ions in the reduced Ar gas of 30kPa. All the films consisted same-size columnar particles and the particle size increased from 0.1 to 0.5μm in diameter with deposition time. The growth rate of the films was about 2.9μm/h. In this method, the metal composition agreed with that of the starting solution. Therefore, the ICP flash evaporation method using the mists of aqueous solutions was more advantageous to control the composition of complex metal oxide films than the method using the mixed oxide powders.
