The strain sensing properties of th system xNiO-(1-x) CaO with various compositions (x=0.001-0.05) are evaluated and the origin of the phenomena is guessed. We have found out that the high temperature electrical conductivity of the xNiO-(1-x)CaO increases by applying the compressive stress at $1000^{\circ}C$. When the applied load is removed, the electrical conductivity rapidly decreases and returns to the original value, but a small hysteresis of the stress-conductivity curve is observed. After the loading test, the lattice parameter of the specimen is found lengthened. The correlation between the lengthening of the lattice parameter and the increases in the electrical conductivity by loading is discussed. The amount of the "expanded type" Ni(II)O6 clusters in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO grains is supposed to be increased by the applied stress, which would be the origin of the strain dependent electric conduction in the xNiO-(1-x)CaO system.aO system.

The electromagnetic properties of Ni$\_$0.8/Zn$\_$0.2/Fe$_2$O$_4$ having stable characteristics in high frequency range were investigated as functions of Bi$_2$O$_3$, CaO contents. Power loss increased in proportion to the amount of Bi$_2$O$_3$ up to 0.3 wt％ and decreased over 0.3 wt％. Also, permeability increased with Bi$_2$O$_3$ contents. The lowest power loss and highest resonance frequency were obtained to the specimens added Bi$_2$O$_3$ of 0.7wt％ and CaO of 0.3 wt％ due to creation of resistivity layers in the grain boundaries originated by the solid solution of Bi$_2$O$_3$ and CaO.

Lithium-ion batteries have been considered the most important devices to power mobile or small-sized devices due to their high energy density. $LixCoO_2$ has been studied as a cathode material for the Li-ion battery. However, the limitation of its capacity impedes the development of high capacity cathode materials with Ni, Mn, etc. in them. The substitution of Mn and Ni for Co leads to the formation of solid solution phase $LiNi_xMn_yCo_{1-x-y}O_2$ (NMC, both x and y < 1), which shows better battery performance than unsubstituted $LiCoO_2$. However, despite a high discharge capacity in the Ni-rich compound (Ni > 0.8 in the metal site), poor cycle retention capability still remains to be overcome. In this study, aiming to improve the stability of the physical and chemical bonding, we investigate the stabilization effect of Ca in the Ni-rich layered compound $Li(Ni_{0.83}Co_{0.12}Mn_{0.05})O_2$, and then Ca is added to the modified secondary particles to lower the degree of cationic mixing of the final particles. For the optimization of the final grains added with Ca, the Ca content (x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 at.%) versus Li is analyzed.

To reduce noise in high frequency and distortion of signal, the composition of $(Ca_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})(Zr_{0.97}Ti_{0.03})O_3$ and $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ was developed. The composition was not solid solution, but mixtures of various phases composed of Ca, Sr, Zr, Ti and Ba oxides. The dielectric constant increased, the quality factor and the insulation resistance decreased with $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ content. The composition of $0.4(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ satisfied the electric characteristics and the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (TCC). In addition, the glass frit and $MnO_2$ also affected the electric characteristics. From the result of the best fit simulation, $MnO_2$ 0.3 mol%, the glass frit 0.6 wt% showed the insulation resistance $906{\Omega}{\cdot}F$, the quality factor 821, and the dielectric constant 92. With the selected composition, MLCC capacitors sized $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}2.5mm$ were manufactured with 105 layered of the dielectric thickness $16{\mu}m$ using Ni inner electrode, They represented the capacitance $98{\sim}102$ nF, the quality factor 1,200 and the insulation resistance $1,500{\Omega}{\cdot}F$. Also, they had high break-down voltage with $107{\sim}115V/{\mu}m$, and satisfied the SL TCC characteristics.
