A commercial NiO (green nickel oxide, 86 wt% Ni) powder was reduced using a batch-type fluidized-bed reactor in a temperature range of 500 to $600^{\circ}C$ and in a residence time range of 5 to 90 min. The reduction rate increased with increases in temperature; however, agglomeration and sintering (sticking) of Ni particles noticeably took place at high temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$. An increasing tendency toward sticking was also observed at long residence times. In order to reduce the oxygen content in the powder to a level below 1% without any sticking problems, which can lead to defluidization, proper temperature and residence time for a stable fluidized-bed operation should be established. In this study, these values were found to be $550^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, respectively. Another important condition is the specific gas consumption rate, i.e. the volume amount ($Nm^3$) of hydrogen gas used to reduce 1 ton of Green NiO ore. The optimum gas consumption rate was found to be $5,000Nm^3/ton$-NiO for the complete reduction. The Avrami model was applied to this study; experimental data are most closely fitted with an exponent (m) of $0.6{\pm}0.01$ and with an overall rate constant (k) in the range of 0.35~0.45, depending on the temperature.

Spinel ferrites (Ni_xFe_3-xO₄; x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) have been prepared at 550℃ by egg white auto-combustion route using egg white at 550℃ and characterized by physicochemical (TGA, IR, XRD, and SEM) and electrochemical (CV and Tafel polarization) techniques. The presence of characteristic vibration peaks in FT-IR and reflection planes in XRD spectra confirmed the formation of spinel ferrites. The prepared oxides were transformed into oxide film on glassy carbon electrodes by coating oxide powder ink using the nafion solution and investigated their electrocatalytic performance for OER in an alkaline solution. The cyclic voltammograms of the oxide electrode did not show any redox peaks in oxygen overpotential regions. The iR-free Tafel polarization curves exhibited two Tafel slopes (b₁ = 59-90 mV decade^-1 and b₂ = 92-124 mV decade^-1) in lower and higher over potential regions, respectively. Ni-substitution in oxide matrix significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction. Based on the current density for OER, the 0.75 mol Ni-substituted oxide electrode was found to be the most active electrode among the prepared oxides and showed the highest value of apparent current density (~9 mA cm^-2 at 0.85 V) and lowest Tafel slope (59 mV decade^-1). The OER on oxide electrodes occurred via the formation of chemisorbed intermediate on the active sites of the oxide electrode and follow the second-order mechanism.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative treatment for liver cancer to the surgical intervention preferred by surgeons. However, the main challenge remains the use of RF for the ablation of large tumours (i.e., tumours with a diameter of >3 cm). For large tumours, RFA takes a large duration in the ablation process compared with surgery, which increases patient pain. Therefore, RFA for large tumours is not preferred by surgeons. The currently materials used in RF electrodes, such as the nickeltitanium alloy (nitinol), are characterized by low thermal and electrical conductivities. On the other hand, the use of materials that have high thermal and electrical conductivities, such as titanium aluminide alloy (gamma titanium), produces more thermal energy for tumours. In this paper, we developed a cool-tip RF electrode model that uses nickel-titanium alloy and replaced it with titanium aluminide alloy by using the finite element model (FEM). The aim of this paper is to study the effect of the thermal and electrical conductivities of gamma titanium on the ablation volume. Results showed that the proposed design of the electrode increased the ablation rate by 1 cm³ /minute and 6.3 cm³/10 minutes, with a decrease in the required time ablation. Finally, the proposed model reduces the ablation time and damages healthy tissue while increasing the ablation volume from 22.5% cm³ to 62.5% cm³ in ten minutes compared to recent studies.

In the RABiTS approach to coated conductor development, successful (both economic and technological) depends on the refinement and optimization of each of three important components: the metal tape substrate, the buffer layer(s), and the HTS layer. Here we will report on the ORNL approach and progress in each of these areas. - Most applications will require metal tapes with low magnetic hysteresis, mechanical strength, and excellent crystalline texture. Some of these requirements are competing. We report on progress in obtaining a good combination of these characteristics on metal alloys of Ni-Cr and Ni-W. - The deposition of appropriate buffer layers is a crucial step. Recently, base research has shown that the presence of a stable sulfur superstructure present on the metal surface is needed for the nucleation and epitaxial growth of vapor-deposited seed buffer layers such as YSZ, CeO$_2$ and SrTiO$_3$. We report on the details and control of this superstructure for nickel tapes, as well as recent results for Cu and Ni-13%Cr. - Processes for deposition of the HTS coating must economically provide large values of the figure-of-merit for conductors, current x length. At ORNL, we have devoted efforts to a precursor/post-annealing approach to YBCO coatings, for which the deposition and reaction steps are separate. We describe motivation for and progress toward developing this approach. - Finally, we address some issues for the implementation of coated conductors in real applications, including the need for texture control and electrical stabilization of the HTS coating.

Fe-Ni-Pt nanocatalysts were loaded on carbon black powders which were synthesized by a spontaneous reduction reaction of iron (II) acetylacetonate, nickel (II) acetylacetonate and platinum (II) acetylacetonate. The morphology and the loading weight of Fe-Ni-Pt nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analyzer. The amount of Fe-Ni-Pt catalyst supported on the carbon black surface was about 6.42-9.28 wt%, and the higher the Fe content and the lower the Pt content, the higher the total amount of the metal catalyst supported. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Analysis (BET) specific surface area of carbon black itself without metal nanoparticles supported was 233.9 m²/g, and when metal nanoparticles were introduced, the specific surface area value was greatly reduced. This is because the metal nanocatalyst particles block the pore entrance of the carbon black, and thereby the catalytic activity of the metal catalysts generated inside the pores is reduced. From the I-V curves, as the content of the Pt nanocatalyst increased, the electrolytic properties of water increased, and the activity of the metal nanocatalyst was in the order of Pt > Ni > Fe.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique has been used for the elemental composition of the soils. In this technique, a high energy laser pulse is focused on a sample to produce plasma. From the spectroscopic analysis of such plasma plume, we have determined the different elements present in the soil. This technique is effective and rapid for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of all type of samples. In this work a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser operating with its fundamental mode (1064 nm laser wavelength), 5 nanosecond pulse width, and 10 Hz repetition rate was focused on soil samples using 10 cm quartz lens. The emission spectra of soil consist of Iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca), Titanium (Ti), Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Potassium (K), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Mercury (Hg), Barium (Ba), Vanadium (V), Lead (Pb), Nitrogen (N), Scandium (Sc), Hydrogen (H), Strontium (Sr), and Lithium (Li) with different finger-prints of the transition lines. The maximum intensity of the transition lines was observed close to the surface of the sample and it was decreased along the axial direction of the plasma expansion due to the thermalization and the recombination process. We have also determined the plasma parameters such as electron temperature and the electron number density of the plasma using Boltzmann's plot method as well as the Stark broadening of the transition lines respectively. The electron temperature is estimated at 14611 °K, whereas the electron number density i.e. 4.1 × 10¹⁶ cm^-3 lies close to the surface.

울산(蔚山)의 철 중석 스카른광상에서 산출되는 유비철석(硫砒鐵石)은 그의 산출상태(産出狀態) 광물공생관계(鑛物共生關係) 화학조성(化學組成)을 근거로 세 가지 유형으로 구분된다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) I 은 다금속광화작용(多金屬鑛化作用) 초기에 정출된 것으로 주로 스카른대 내에서 산점상으로 분포하며, Ni-Fe-Co계 유화물과 밀접한 공생관계를 보여준다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) I 의 화학조성은 Ni, Co의 함량이 현저하게 높고 As/S(원자비(原子比))>1으로 과잉(過剩)의 비소를 함유한다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) II는 Cu 또는 As 광석중에서 산출되며, 비독사석 휘창연석 비스무스 황동석 섬아연석과 밀접한 공생관계를 보여준다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) II의 화학조성은 Ni, Co의 함량이 극히 미량이며, As/S>1으로 과잉(過剩)의 비소를 함유한다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) III은 최후기 열수광맥 형성시기에 정출되었으며, 황철석 방연석 섬아연석 자류철석과 밀접한 공생관계(共生關係)를 보여준다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) III의 화학조성(化學組成)은 $$As/S1{\leq_-}1$$로 과잉(過剩)의 S를 함유한다. 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) I 은 Ni, Co의 함유량이 1%이상이므로 지질온도계(地質溫度計)로 사용할 수 없지만, 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) II 는 비스무스-휘창연석의 공생관계(共生關係)를 보여 주고 있으므로, 이를 Kretschmar and Scott (1976)에 의한 $1/T-f(S_2)$도에 적용시켜보면 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) II의 정출환경은 $T=460{\sim}470^{\circ}C$, log $f(S_2)=-7.4{\sim}7.0$이고, 유비철석(硫砒鐵石) III의 정출환경은 $T=320{\sim}440^{\circ}C$, log $f(S_2)=-9.0{\sim}7.0$으로 추정된다.

리드프레임에 구리합금소재를 사용할 경우 구리이외의 고농도의 철, 니켈, 아연 등이 포함되며 여기서 발생되는 에칭폐액은 지정폐기물로 지정되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기도금용 산화구리(II)를 제조하기 위해 고농도 중금속을 함유한 리드프레임 에칭폐액의 맞춤형 정제과정을 설계하였다. 리드프레임 에칭폐액의 경우 중금속 함유량이 높아 이온교환수지법 단독으로는 중금속을 제거하는데 한계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물에 대한 용해도차를 이용한 환원-산화법을 연계하여 염화구리(I)을 제조한 후 산화제인 과황산나트륨을 이용하여 염화구리(II)로 재회수하는 방법을 사용하였다. 최적 환원제로는 하이드라진을 선택하였고, 최적 첨가량은 구리 1.0 mol당 1.4 mol이다. 환원-산화법과 이온교환수지법을 연결하여 중금속을 제거할 경우 3회 반복 시 $Fe^{3+}$ (4.3 ppm), $Ni^{2+}$ (2.4 ppm), $Zn^{2+}$ (0.78 ppm)로 전기도금용 산화구리(II) 제조용 원료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Gallium Oxide (Ga₂O₃) is preferred as a material for next generation power semiconductors. The Ga₂O₃ should solve the disadvantages of low thermal resistance characteristics and difficulty in forming an inversion layer through p-type ion implantation. However, Ga₂O₃ is difficult to inject p-type ions, so it is being studied in a heterojunction structure using p-type oxides, such as NiO, SnO, and Cu₂O. Research the lateral-type FET structure of NiO/Ga₂O₃ heterojunction under the Gate contact using the Sentaurus TCAD simulation. At this time, the VG-ID and VD-ID curves were identified by the thickness of the Epi-region (channel) and the doping concentration of NiO of 1×10¹⁷ to 1×10¹⁹ cm-3. The increase in Epi region thickness has a lower threshold voltage from -4.4 V to -9.3 V at I_D = 1×10^-8 mA/mm, as current does not flow only when the depletion of the PN junction extends to the Epi/Sub interface. As an increase of NiO doping concentration, increases the depletion area in Ga₂O₃ region and a high electric field distribution on PN junction, and thus the breakdown voltage increases from 512 V to 636 V at I_D =1×10^-3 A/mm.

제1세대 니켈계 단결정 초합금인 CMSX 6를 사용하여 셀렉타법으로 진공 정밀주조하여 단결정을 제작하였다. 주형온도 약 150$0^{\circ}C$, 주입온도 약 163$0^{\circ}C$와 용탕 주입 직후 주형을 2.5mm/분 속도로 하강시켜 단결정을 성장시켰다. 단결정 주조조직에서 기지와 공정조직은 ${\gamma}$' 석출물(Ni$_3$(Al, Ti)) 모양과 크기에 따라 각각 모두 두영역으로 구분되었으며, 공정조직의 Ti함랗은 기지보다 높았다. 즉, EPMA 및 CBED 분석 등으로 ${\gamma}$' 석출물을 분석한 결과, 기지내의 ${\gamma}$'은 크기가 0.5~0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하이며 화학조성상 Ni$_3$Al에 가까웠으며 격자구조도 Ll$_2$를 나타내었다. 반면에 공정조직에 가까울수록 ${\gamma}$' 크기는 1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$보다 컸으며, 모양도 판상형의 거대한 모양으로 바뀌었다. 화학조성 또한 Ni$_3$Ti에 가까웠으며 격자구조도 D $O_{24}$를 나타내었으므로 수지상과 공정조직의 ${\gamma}$' 석출물은 화학조성 및 격자구조가 상이함을 알 수 있었다.
