The crystal structures of (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7M0.3)O3 (M=Ta, Nb) compounds were determined using the Rietveld method. Due to the tilting of a oxygen octahedron, (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7Nb0.3)O3 had a superlattice of doubled a, b and c of simple perovskite. The crystal structure of (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7M0.3)O3 was tetragonal with a space group 14/mmm. The crystal structure of (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7M0.3)O3 was a cubic with space group Pm3m, in which no tilting of oxygen octahedron was observed. The difference in the oxygen tilting of these two materials was due to the larger covalency of Nb-O bond than that of Ta-O bond, which induced a strong $\pi$Nb0 bonding in (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7M0.3)O3. Therefore, the higher transition temperature of (Na0.3Sr0.7)(Ti0.7M0.3)O3 could be related to the larger tilting of oxygen octahedron.

In diamond synthesis by metal film growth method under high pressure and high temperature, the nucleation and growth of diamond was observed dependent on the carbon source variation from graphite powder to the heat treated powders of lamp black carbon. At the low driving force condition near equilibrium pressure and temperature line, nucleation of diamond did not occur but growth of seed diamond appeared in the synthesis from lamp black carbon while both nucleation and growth of diamond took place in the synthesis from graphite. Growth morphology change of diamond occurred from cubo-octahedron to octahedron in the synthesis from graphite but very irregular growth of seed diamond occurred in the synthesis from lamp block carbon. Lamp black carbon transformed to recrystallized graphite first and very nucleation of diamond was observed on the recrystallized graphite surface. Growth morphology of diamond on the recrystallized graphite was clear cubo-octahedron even at higher pressure departure condition from equilibrium pressure and temperature line.

ZnO crystals with octahedral shape were synthesized by thermal evaporation technique. $ZnF_2$ powder was used as the source material. The thermal evaporation and oxidation of $ZnF_2$ powder was carried out for 1 hr at $1,000^{\circ}C$ in air under atmospheric pressure. SEM images showed that the ZnO crystals produced by oxidizing $ZnF_2$ vapor possessed a characteristic octahedral shape. XRD spectrum revealed that the ZnO octahedron had hexagonal wurtzite structure. In the room temperature photoluminescence spectrum, a strong green emission peak at around 510 nm was observed.

Cyclic deformations of polymer foam film are simulated using the finite element method. Material of polymer foam film is polypropylene (PP). The calculated polymer foam film is micro-scale thin film has cellular structure. The polymer foam film is used in ferro-electret applications. The polymer foam film is idealized to one cell structure as lens shaped stretched truncated octahedron model. Cyclic deformation is performed by uniaxial stretching. Stretching direction is perpendicular to plane of cellular film. Various cyclic strain amplitudes, pore wall thicknesses, pore shape are investigated to find deformation tendency of cellular structure. Consequently, cellular structure has various macroscopic stresses on cyclic deformation with various pore thickness and pore shape.

The diamond synthesis by combustion flame method is considerably affected by the substrate surface temperature and its distribution which are mainly controlled by the ratio of mixed gas, $O_2/C_2H_2$. In order to elucidate the role of gas ratio in the diamond synthetic process by combustion flame, under various gas ratios (R=0.87~0.98; R=ratio of flow-rate of $O_2/C_2H_2$ gas) the substrate temperature was measured by using thermal video system and the morphological change of diamond crystals was analysed by using SEM, Raman spectroscope, and X-ray diffraction method. With increasing the gas ratio, i.e., decreasing the hydrocarbon content, the nucleation rate of diamond crystal was lowerd. It was also found that the morphology of diamond crystals changed from the cubo-octahedron type consisting of (100), (111) plane to the octahedron type of (111) plane. The increase of the substrate temperature consistently resulted in the increase of the nucleation rate as well as the growth rate of diamond crystals in which the surface of diamond crystal dominantly consisting of (100) plane.

Uniform diamond films in a few $\textrm{mm}^2$ size and locally isolated diamond single crystals in size of 60 $\mu\textrm{m}$ were synthesized on Si-wafer and Al2O3 substrate by the method of acetylene flame. The effects of substrate temperature and flow ratio of oxygen to acetylene on the morphology of deposited diamond were investigated. According to the observations of growth behavior of diamond on Si substrate with respect to substrate surface pretreatment and flow ratio, it was shown that well faceted diamonds could grow uniformly when flow ratio was above 0.9 and substrates were densely scratched. With increasing substrates temperature, the crystal morphology changes from octahedron bounded by only {111} plane below 850$^{\circ}C$ to cubo-octahedron with almost equal development of {111} and {100} plane in the temperature range of 850∼950$^{\circ}C$. Between 950∼1050$^{\circ}C$, the {111} faces become rough and concave. Above 1050$^{\circ}C$, new crystallites begin to grow on concave {111} surface and overall morphology looks like cubo-octahedron with degenerated {111} faces. These changes of morphology can be understood in terms of the different growth mode of each crystallographic plane with respect to the substrate temperature and supersaturation. And the observed phenomena on {111} planes can be related to the face instability and twin generation.

Migration and interaction of multi-protons in a zinc-doped barium zirconate (Zn-doped $BaZrO_3$) super cell were investigated using a density functional theory. O ions in the super cell form interconnected octahedrons with Zr or Zn ions positioned in their centers and Ba ions positioned among the eight octahedrons. When one proton was added to the super cell, the energy barrier of 0.80 eV for proton transfer from the first to second nearest O ion sites from the Zn ion reached its highest value. When two protons were added to the super cell, the two protons preferred the first nearest O ions from the Zn ion. The two protons were accommodated by pushing the neighboring Zn ion further away from the center of the octahedron. Energy barriers for proton transfer from the Zn-octahedron to the neighboring Zr-octahedron were spread in the range of 0.36 ~ 1.02 eV.

Spinel structured lithium managanese oxide $(LiMn_2O_4)$ powder with well defined facetted morphology was prepared by precipitation-evaporation method. {111}, {110}, and {100} planes are mainly observed in the $LiMn_2O_4$ powder. And powder shape of tetradecahedron and octahedron was observed depending on the calcinations temperature. The observed powder morphology observed seemed to be related to the nonstoichiometry of the oxygen in the $LiMn_2O_4$ spinel structure. Oxygen nonstoichiometry might be responsible for the Jahn-teller effect and structure transition which in turn affects the surface energy of the {111}, {110}, and {100} planes. Powder shape transition from tetradecahedron to octahedron seemed to be related to the surface energy of the {111}, {110}, and {100} planes with oxygen nonstoichiometry.

It was examined that the relationship between microstructures, electrical properties and crystal structure of (1-x)CaMnO$_3$-xCaTiO$_3$solid solution system which was made by mixing a semiconducting material CaMnO$_3$of low resistance and a dielectric material CaTiO$_3$of high resistance with variable ratios (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0). As the CaTiO$_3$increased, the resistance, B constant and lattice constant were increased, but the grain size was decreased. On particular, above 50wt% of CaTiO$_3$, the resistance at 2 5$^{\circ}C$ was rapidly increased due to the correlation in connectivity of the lattices between the conductive Mn$^{+4}$ octahedron and the insulative Ti$^{+4}$ octahedron.ron.

In oxides characterized by the $K_2NiF_4-type$ structure, the low-spin${\to}$high-spin transition of trivalent cobalt ion was studied in function of the nature of competing bonds in the perovskite-plane and along the c-axis. Using Slichter and Drickamer's model the calculated values of parameters characterizing such a transition are correlated with the covalency of competing bonds along the c-axis of the $K_2NiF_4$-structure and the local structural distortion of the $(CoO_6)$ octahedron.
