Lotus-type porous nickel with cylindrical pores was fabricated by unidirectional solidification under an Ar gas atmosphere using the thermal decomposition method of the compounds such as sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and titanium hydride. The decomposed gas does form the pores in liquid nickel, and then, the pores become the cylindrical pores during unidirectional solidification. The decomposed particles from the compounds do play a rule on nucleation sites of the pores. The behavior of pore growth was controlled by atmosphere pressure, which can be explained by Boyle's law. The porosity and pore size decreased with increasing Ar gas pressure when the pores contain hydrogen gas decomposed from calcium and sodium hydroxide and titanium hydride, ; however it they did not change when the pores contain containing carbon dioxide decomposed from calcium carbonate. These results indicate that nickel does not have the solubility of carbon dioxide. Lotus-type porous metals can be easily fabricated by the thermal decomposition method, which is superior to the conventional fabrication method used to pressurized gas atmospheres.

본 연구에서는 NCM [Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_z)O₂] 양극활물질을 합성하기 위한 내화갑의 재료로 순수 금속 재료인 Nickel을 제안하였다. Nickel은 산화에 강하고 녹는점이 높은 금속으로 알려져 있다. 니켈은 NCM 양극활물질의 주성분 중 하나로 양극물질 합성 동안에 saggar로 부터의 오염에 대한 문제에 자유로울 것으로 기대하였다. 본 연구진은 니켈이 NCM 양극물질 합성용 내화갑으로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 900℃에서 Ni 금속 도가니와 Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ (NCM 811) 전구체 물질을 장시간 반응시켰을 때, 시간 변화에 따른 도가니 표면 반응층 변화를 분석하였다. 900℃에서 열처리 동안에 형성된 니켈 도가니 반응층은 니켈 산화물이었으며, 양극 전구체 산화물로 부터의 산소확산과 대기 중의 산소와 반응이 동시에 이루어져서 생성된 것으로 생각된다. 산화층은 480시간 이후로 그 두께의 변화가 느려지는 것으로 보아 전구체로 부터의 산소 확산속도가 감소되는 것으로 생각된다. 480시간까지는 도가니로 부터 탈락되지 않고 결합되어 있었다. 그러나 720시간 후에는 산화층이 탈락되는 것이 확인되어 일정 시간까지만 NCM 합성용 Saggar로서 사용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

금속이 코팅된 FBG(fiber Bragg grating) 센서는 구조물이 과거에 겪은 최대 변형률을 기억하는 기억효과(memory effect)를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 도금법과 전해 도금법을 이용하여 약 $43{\mu}m$의 두께를 가지는 니켈(nickel)이 코팅된 FBG 센서를 제작하였다. 니켈 코팅된 FBG 센서의 잔류 변형률 생성 성능, 즉, 기억효과를 검증하기 위해 반복하중 실험(잔류 변형률 생성실험)을 수행하였다. 인가한 최대 변형률의 크기가 증가함에 따라 잔류 변형률이 증가함을 확인함으로써 기억효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 니켈이 코팅된 FBG 센서의 제작 기법과 센서에 대한 반복하중 실험결과는 향후 광섬유 센서를 이용한 구조물 건전성 감시(SHM, structural health monitoring)기법 개발에 기본 데이터로서 활용될 것이다.

In this paper, we investigated electrical and physical characteristics of nickel silicide using rare-earth metals(Er, Yb, Tb, Dy), Incorporated Ytterbium into Ni-silicide is proposed to reduce work function of Ni-silicide for nickel silicided schottky barrier diode (Ni-silicided SBD). Nickel silicide makes ohmic-contact or low schottky barrier height with p-type silicon because of similar work function (${\phi}_M$) in comparison with p-type silicon. However, high schottky barrier height is formed between Ni-silicide and p-type substrate by depositing thin ytterbium layer prior to Ni deposition. Even though the ytterbium is deposited below nickel, ternary phase $Yb_xN_{1-x}iSi$ is formed at the top and inner region of Ni-silicide, which is believed to result in reduction of work function about 0.15 - 0.38 eV.

This work presents the way how to evaluate the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the nickel hydroxide film cathodically deposited on pure nickel as a positive electrode for electrochemical capacitor using the combined cyclic voltammetry and potential drop method, supplemented by galvanostatic discharge and open-circuit potential transient methods. The time interval necessary just to establish the current reversal of anodic to cathodic direction from the moment just after applying the potential inversion of anodic to cathodic direction, was obtained on cyclic voltammogram. The cathodic charge density passed upon dropping the applied potential, was calculated on potentiostatic current density-time curve. Both the time interval and the cathodic charge density in magnitude can be regarded as being measures of the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the positive active material for supercapacitor, i.e. , the longer the time interval is, the lower is the degree of reversibility and the greater the cathodic charge density is, the higher is the degree of reversibility. From the applied potential dependences of the time interval and cathodic charge density, discharge at $0.42 V_{SCE}$ was determined to be the most reversible.

Intracellular recordings of oscillatory firing (bursting activity) were obtained from Purkinje cells (PCs) in rat cerebellar slices. Apamin inhibited post-burst hyperpolarizations (PBHs) progressively and finally terminated oscillatory firing activity of PCs. Apamin did not affect the amplitude or duration of the after-hyperpolarization (AHP) between spikes within the burst. In the voltage clamp mode, apamin shifted the whole-cell, quasi-steady state I/V relationship in an inward direction and abolished the zero slope resistance (ZSR) region by blocking outward current. Nickel ($Ni^{2+}$) terminated oscillatory activity and also abolished the ZSR region. However, $Ni^{2+}$ did not have progressive blocking action on the post-burst hyperpolarization before it blocked oscillatory activity. $Ni^{2+}$ blocked an inward current at potentials positive to approximately -65 mV, which was responsible for the ZSR region and outward current at more negative potentials. These data indicated that oscillatory activity of PCs is sustained by a balance between a slow $Ni^{2+}$-sensitive inward current and an apamin-sensitive outward current in the region of ZSR of the whole-cell I/V curve.

Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is used to characterize coke species deposited on commercial nickel catalyst, C11-PR during propane pre-reforming. Propane pre-reforming performed under various condition, S/C from 1.5 to 2.5 and temperature from $350^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. There are three kinds of coke species detected by TPO: (i) reactive coke, (ii) coke deposited on metal site and (iii) coke deposited on acid support. Coke deposited on metal and support are minimized although reactive coke is generated at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0. Reactive coke is expected to remove easily below temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, optimized pre-reforming condition for propane is $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0.

Germane-sillicide phase formation on S $i_{0.25}$G $e_{0.75}$ with Ni 100$\square$, Co 10$\square$/Ni 100$\square$ and Ni 50$\square$/Co 10$\square$/Ni 50$\square$ layer was studied by sheet resistance and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM). Thermal stability of nickel germane-silicide is found to be improved by sputtering Ni/Co/Ni on the SiGe. After annealing at 600, 650, $700^{\circ}C$, 30min., the nickel germane-silicide formed by Ni 50$\square$/Co 10$\square$/Ni 50$\square$ layer achieved a sheet resistance less than 17ohms/sq.(almost the same to the value before furnace annealing for 30min.) , while the process of the other two ways result in high sheet resistance and even sheet resistance fail due to Ge segregation.ion.

Mechanical solderless chip packaging with small gold bumps or metal balls has increased in the electronic devices. The preparation of conductive particles (5~7 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diamiter) by electroless nickel plating have been investigated. Generally, batch type electroless plating is applied to provide conductivity on the nonconductors. Since the surface areas of particles are much larger than the bulk substrate, accordingly the electroless plating bath becomes unstable. Thus, we applied the continuous dropping method for the preparation of conductive particles. The uniform coverage of deposited nickel on the particles was obtained by using ammonium acetate as a complexing agent, and surface coverage is further improved without coagulation of particles by the surface active agent treatment before enter the plating bath.
