    The superconducting transition temperature (TC), and the Hall coefficient (RH) at room temperature (RT) and 77K were measured under hydrostatic pressure up to 1.2GPa for La2CuO4+δ system, where δ=0.015-0.108. Anomalous δ-dependence was observed in the RH, which suggests a change in the electronic system. At 77K, there was little pressure effect in the RH irrespective of δ-value. At RT, however, there was positive pressure dependence for the intermediate δ values between 0.060 and 0.080. The TC of the 15K phase showed a negative pressure effect of -2 to -6K/GPa. The TC of the 32K phase, however, showed a large positive pressure effect of 7 to 16K/GPa. The TC of the 44K phase had a positive pressure effect.

    High-temperature oxidation behavior of Fe-20Cr-4Al alloys with 3, 7, 35, 53, 104, 171, 185, 491, 1300 and 6300ppm of sulfur was studied for 18.0ks in oxygen at 1273, 1373, 1473, 1573 and 1673K by mass change measurements, observation of surface appearance of the alloys, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. Mass change of the alloys increased roughly with increasing oxidation temperature. However, the mass changes of the alloys with 7, 35 and 53ppm of sulfur at 1473K, with 7, 35, 53 and 104ppm of sulfur at 1573K and with 7ppm of sulfur at 1673K showed negative values. This fact was in good agreement with spalling of the oxide on the alloys. On the other hand, mass changes of the alloys with more than 171ppm of sulfur decreased with increasing content of sulfur at 1673K. The oxide adherence of these alloys with more than 7ppm of sulfur may be attributed to the size and shape of chromium sulfide particles at the oxide/alloy interface.

    The gels has lately attracted attention as functional materials of actuator, sensor and artifical muscle, etc. But their mechanical response and strength are still insufficient to apply these as functional materials. Hence, we synthesized gels with good response, and investigated their bending rates in electrolytic solutions by impressing electric field. We prepared Polyallylamine-metacryl acid, sodium salt gels (PAlAm-MAANa gels) from Allylamine phosphate, Methacrylic acid and N, N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide, and measured its bending rate in electrolytes solution under electric field. The result, the PAlAm-MAANa gels (PAlAm ratio; 50% and MBAA ratio; 7%) indicated bending rates of; 21.00°/s. Thus, the PAlAm-MAANa gels were found to be applicable to actuator and artifical musle as new functional materials.

    The granular-ice making method for cool-heat storage has been experimentally investiguted. Granular-ices were formed through injecting water droplets into a low temperature immiscible coolant whose specific gravity is smaller than water. As a low temperature immiscible coolant, kerosine or mixture of kerosine and engine oil has been utilized, where oil concentration was ranged from 0 to 40% in volume. It was found that the granular-ice can be successively produced even at -5°C. Above at -5°C, the ice-bridging phenomenon occurred for any concentration measured. Optimum conditions for succesive production of granular-ice were obtained as follows. 1) circulation of the mixture of kerosine and engine oil, and 2) no circulation of kerosine only. The effect of coolant temperature and viscosity on the successive production of granular-ices were discussed.

    New (Nb, Ta)3Sn conductors with excellent high-field performance have been fabricated using Ta-Sn powder as a core material. The Ta-Sn powder was easily synthesized by the melt diffusion reaction between Ta and Sn powders. The powder was encased in a Nb or Nb-Ta alloy sheath to form a composite, and then fabricated into wire and tape specimens. The resulting specimens were reacted at 800-925°C in vacuum. After the reaction a thick (Nb, Ta)3Sn layer, several tens micrometers in thickness, is formed between the sheath and the core. No void is formed in the core after the reaction. Ta is incorporated into the (Nb, Ta)3Sn layer from both the Ta-Sn core and the Nb-Ta sheath. The Jc of the (Nb, Ta)3Sn layer reaches 5×104A/cm2 at 23T and 4.2K. The tape specimens show large critical current at 23T due to the large thickness of the (Nb, Ta)3Sn layer.

    Glass (plastic polymer) normally transforms to supercooled liquid (rubber) above the glass transition temperature (Tg). The transition causes the shape recovery effect. We have studied the shape recovery effect of SiO2 glass. The shape recovery effect was found in the temperature range from 770K to 1170K. The SiO2 glass can be a new actuator which can be operated at high temperature.

    Photo-electric plethysmograph has been widely used to measure caradiac pulse rate. However, the sensing device is remained without any improvement, even though the opto-electronic technology has been highly refined recently. In order to get rid of low-temperature burn, which is often experienced in long-term, continuous applications, and to guarantee motion-free measurements, we develop a new type of photo-electric sensing device. The dcesign criteria and the merit of the prototype device are discussed in some detail.

    The reactivity of fused silica glass (SiO2) with plasma irradiation was investigated using argon gas sheet plasma in order to examine the suitability of this material for semiconductor and nuclear fusion application. The surface of the samples was evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and noncontactive three-dimensional roughness meter (ZYGO). Surface deterioration was observed by the plasma irradiation with decreased Ar gas flow rate. It was able to suppose this reason, the electron density in sheet plasma increased with decreasing Ar gas flow rate.

    Quasicrystal has some interesting properties due to its quasiperiodisity, which include higher hardness, higher electrical resistivity, and so on. We know that Al5-Li3-Cu has stable quasicrystalline phase. So, we investigated the formation of Al-Li-Cu quasicrystalline phase at various temperatures by making TTT curve. In this way, we could obtain the fundamental knowledge about the self-organization of the phase. The reason for the stability of the phase is discussed in terms of the quasicrystal growth kinetics.

    The collision energy generates the electrical potential of PZT. As the value of the energy increases, the electrical potential becomes higher. We often find the opposite electrical potential. Thus, we investigate the electrical potential. When the residual strain is relaxed enough, we can explain that the integrated electrical potential approaches to zero. This may induce the opposite potential.

    Image charge interaction reported by Ishii et. al.1 at Cu/Y2O3-fully stabilized cubic ZrO2 interfaces produced in the thermal evaporation method, was reproduced on a personal computer simply with classical electrodynamics. The difference in the interfacial adhesion force was observed between continuum/ZrO2 (110) (a neutral plane) and continuum/ZrO2 (001) (polarized plane) even if no quantum mechanical computation was done. Continuum/ZrO2 (001) showed stronger adhesion force than that of continuum/ZrO2 (001) at large interfacial interval. This result indicates that the image charge interaction works in a long range.

    In recent years, high temperature ceramics as materials with high strength and high melting point are drawing the attention for ceramists. These ceramic materials are expected to be used as a fireplace for nuclear fusion, aircraft engine, rocket nozzle and fireplace material for high temperature incinerator. High-temperature oxidation behavior of sintered Cr3C2 body was studied in air at 300-1400°C for 5min to 25h by measuring mass gain and X-ray diffraction. In spite of increasing temperature and time, weight gain by the oxidation of sintered Cr3C2 body was not approved at 1400°C. However, the oxidation was admitted by X-ray diffraction analysis at higher then 600°C.

    Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) is common superplasticity ceramics and its deformation behavior at high temperatures is influenced strongly by trace impurities such as silica and alumina. Low purity materials more than 0.1% show only one region of stress exponent 2, while high purity materials show two deformation behavior region with stress exponent 2 at high stresses and 3 at low stresses. In the present study, another deformation region with stress exponent 1 at lower stresses is observed in high purity 3Y-TZP, by means of constant cross-head speed compression tests and constant load compression creep tests.

    Tensile strength of platinum alloys containing 5-20 mass% Rh were measured in temperature range of 300-873K. Both tensile strength and elongation decreased gradually with increasing temperature. The hardness was also measured using a micro hardness test, which decreased from HV103 at 373K to HV43 at 1273K. At the hardness of HV=50 and at the higher temperature, strongly increased brittleness was observed from the shape of indentation.
