Surface resistance of electro-deposited copper with its thickness, current density and surface roughness was determined by using a 4-point probe analyzer. The copper was prepared electrochemically on 316 stainless steel substrate in copper sulfate solution at the condition of $1A/dm^2$, 298 K, and 6.5 cm-electrode distance. The surface resistance of the copper sheet in the range of $0.93-0.97{\Omega}$ increased with the copper thickness in the range of $21-70{\mu}m$. The surface resistance in the range of $0.963-1.009{\Omega}$ also increased with current density in the range of $0.5-2A/dm^2$. The increased surface resistances corresponded to 11% for thickness and 25% for current density, respectively.

The surface morphology of oil-lubricated surface for hydraulic piston motor is believed to be extremely effective in contact mechanics. adhesion. friction and wear. In order to describe morphology of various rubbed surface on driving condition, the wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions in oil-lubricated system. And fractal descriptors was applied to rubbed surface of hydraulic members with image processing system. These descriptors to analyze surface structure are fractal dimension. Surface fractal dimension can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. Morphology of rubbed surface can be effectively obtained by fractal dimension.

The plasma surface treatment, using hydrogen gas, of the silicon wafer was investigated as a pretreatment for the application to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using the silicon direct bonding technique. The chemical reactions of hydrogen plasma with surfaces were used for both the surface activation and the removal of surface contaminants. As a result of exposure of silicon wafer to the plasma, an active oxide layer was formed on the surface, which was rendered hydrophilic. The surface roughness and morphology were estimated as functions of plasma exposing time as well as of power. The surface became smoother with decreased incident hydrogen ion flux by reducing plasma exposing time and power. This process was very effective to reduce the carbon contaminants on the silicon surface, which was responsible for a high initial surface energy. The initial surface energy measured by the crack propagation method was 506 mJ/m2, which was up to about three times higher than that of a conventional RCA cleaning method.

Surface modification technique enabling the control of condensation provides various benefit in various engineering systems, such as heat transfer, desalination, power plants, and so on. In this study, lubricant oil-impregnation into Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic oxide layer of aluminum to enhance a de-wetting and mobility of water droplet on surface. Due to the surface treatment improving water-repellency, the condensation mode is changed to dropwise, thus the frequency of sliding condensed water droplet on surface is increased. For these reasons, the surface of oil-impregnated Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide shows significantly enhanced condensation heat transfer compared to bare aluminum surface. In addition, the porosity of anodic aluminum oxide affected the mobility of water droplet even with oil-impregnation and Teflon-coating, indicating that the optimization of porous structure of anodic oxide is required for maximizing the condensation heat transfer.

We have investigated a structural change of Si(100)-($2 \times 1$)-Sb surface caused by atomic hydrogen adsorption at room temperature using time-of-flight impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (TOF-ICISS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). We found that when atomic hydrogen adsorbs on the Si(100)-($2 \times 1$)-Sb surface, (1) the partial desorption of Sb atoms from the Si(100) surface occurs even at room temperature, (2) the rest Sb atoms are displaced from their original positions and form an almost two-dimensional layer with dispersive distribution of Sb atoms, and (3) the structural transformation into the Si(100)-($1 \times 1$)-H periodicity is induced by the formation of the $1 \times 1$-H dihydride phase on the Si substrate.

This paper aims to present an analytical methodology to investigate influences of nanoscale and surface energy on buckling stability behavior of perforated nanobeam structural element, for the first time. The surface energy effect is exploited to consider the free energy on the surface of nanobeam by using Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory. Thin and thick beams are considered by using both classical beam of Euler and first order shear deformation of Timoshenko theories, respectively. Equivalent geometrical constant of regularly squared perforated beam are presented in simplified form. Problem formulation of nanostructure beam including surface energies is derived in detail. Explicit analytical solution for nanoscale beams are developed for both beam theories to evaluate the surface stress effects and size-dependent nanoscale on the critical buckling loads. The closed form solution is confirmed and proven by comparing the obtained results with previous works. Parametric studies are achieved to demonstrate impacts of beam filling ratio, the number of hole rows, surface material characteristics, beam slenderness ratio, boundary conditions as well as loading conditions on the non-classical buckling of perforated nanobeams in incidence of surface effects. It is found that, the surface residual stress has more significant effect on the critical buckling loads with the corresponding effect of the surface elasticity. The proposed model can be used as benchmarks in designing, analysis and manufacturing of perforated nanobeams.

Lubricant-impregnated nanoporous surfaces (LIS), which is created by impregnating water-immiscible oil into nanoporous surface structure, have been explored considering wide range of application fields. Due to the lubricant impregnated in nanoporous structure, the surface shows extreme de-wetting with a high mobility of water droplets, so that various functionalities can be realized. The lubricant layer inhibits the contact of corrosive media to porous structure as well as metal substrate, thus the surface improves the corrosion resistance. The water on the surface freeze without any contact to solid porous structure, showing a low ice adhesion for de-icing an anti-icing. The extremely high mobility of water droplets on lubricant-impregnated porous surfaces also contributes the enhancement of condensation heat transfer as well as water harvesting from fog and moisture. Moreover, the bacteria adhesion on metal surface forming biofilms causing serious hygiene issues can be inhibited on the lubricantimpregnated surfaces. Despite of such superior functionalities, the lubricant-impregnated porous surface has a limitation of lubricant depletion by external flow of fluids. Therefore, extensive efforts to improve the durability of lubricant-impregnated surface are required for practical applications.

In this study, the surface of 40Cr steel was hardened by $CO_2$Laser, and then the microstructural transformations and the hardness distributions of the laser surface hardened layer were observed. The experimental results showed the surface hardening layer was consisted of three parts, which is outmost surface layer of needle martensite, middle layer of martensite and remained pearlite, and transitory boundary layer. In hardness distributions, the surface hardeness of the surface hardening layer had Hv 800~1000, that was 2 to 4 times of matrix's hardness. The hardeness distribution of laser hardening layer that of surface layer hardened by general heat treatment.

Surface treatment technologies are frequently used to improve mechanical properties of surface layers of machinery components in many practical situations. Surface hardness of piston in the oil hydraulic piston pumps is very important about wear resistance. To improve hardness, wear resistance of the oil hydraulic axial piston pump, it is needed to know the surface layer characteristics in the sliding contact parts. This paper reports an experimental study on surface treatment characteristics in the piston of the oil hydraulic axial piston pump. We investigated the surface wear of a piston between untreated and nitriding-treated surfaces. We obviously observed that the surface hardness of piston in the oil hydraulic axial piston pump plays an important role to have wear resistance and remain a longer life.
