Two kinds of steels whose compositions were Fe-34.4Cr-14.5Ni-2.5Mo-0.4W-0.4Mn-0.5Si-(0.009 or 0.35)S (wt.%) were centrifugally cast, and oxidized at $900^{\circ}C$ for 50-350 h in order to find the effect of sulfur on the high-temperature oxidation of Fe-34.4Cr-14.5Ni-2.5Mo-0.4W-0.4Mn-0.5Si-(0.009 or 0.35)S (wt.%) alloys. These alloys formed oxide scales that consisted primarily of $Cr_2O_3$ as the major oxide and $Cr_2MnO_4$ as the minor one through preferential oxidation of Cr and Mn. They additionally formed $SiO_2$ particles around the scale/alloy interface as well as inside the matrices. The high affinity of Mn with S led to the formation of scattered MnS inclusions particularly in the 0.35S-containing cast alloy. Sulfur was harmful to the oxidation resistance, because it deteriorated the scale/alloy adherence so as to accerelate the adherence and compactness of the formed scales.

Multi-layered chip inductors were prepared with good magnetic properties by sintering Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites at a lower temperature. A slurry with 49.5mol%Fe$_{2}O_{3}$, 20.5mol% ZnO, 20mol% NiO and 10nol% CuO was cast into tapes with 60-100\ulcorner of thickness with a doctor blade techniques. The tapes were screen-pronted with 100% silver electrodes, layered and pressed at 250kg/cm$^{2}$ and then sintered ant 900$^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Inductance with internal electrodes printed 5, 10, and 15 turns showed 4.9, 15 and 24$\mu$, respectively, at 1MHz.

RAINBOW(Reduced And Internally Biased Oxide Wafers) are a new class of high-displacement, piezoelectric actuator produced by selectively removing oxygen from one surface of ceramic using a high-temperature chemical reduction process. In this paper, RAINBOW actuator materials of $0.4Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.6Pb(Zr_{x}Ti_{1-x})O_3$ ceramics were prepared. Its dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated in the vicinity of MPB. The piezoelectric properties showed the maximum value of ${\epsilon}r$ = 4871, $d_{33}$ = 610 ($10^{-12}$ m/V), $d_{31}$ = -299 ($10^{-12}$ m/V), $k_{33}$ = $71\%$, Qm = 70, in $0.4Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}-0.6Pb(Zr_{405}Ti_{595})O_3$ composition sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$. The strain - electric field characteristics of RAINBOW actuator were significantly improved comparison with the conventional bulk actuator. The prepared RAINBOW actuator showed about $390\;{\mu}m/100\;V$ displacement.

In order to improve the efficiency of methane steam reforming process, a part of the system which produces hydrogen from heavy hydrocarbon resources such as coal, we combined metal catalyst with CaO sorbent and fabricated catalyst/sorbent. To increase the porosity and the compressive strength of sorbent, carbon black and ${\alpha}-alumina$ were mixed with CaO powder during preparation. The effects of sorbent composition on the physical properties were investigated by SEM, TGA, BET, XRD, abrasion strength measuring device and adsorption-desorption instrument. Sorbent with 5 wt％ $Al_2O_3$ and 10 wt％ carbon black showed the best physical features with $7.61kg_f$ strength and 47％ $CO_2$ adsorption capability. Various metal catalysts such as Ni, Co and Fe were supported on the sorbent developed and 10 wt％ Ni/sorbent was selected for methane steam reforming process based on the result of reaction experiment. The reaction system using the catalyst/sorbent showed better $H_2$ productivity compared to the detached system with catalyst and sorbent, indicating the effectiveness of the system developed in this study.

High temperature superconducting coated conductor has various buffer structures on Ni-W alloy. We comparatively studied the growth conditions of a multi buffer layer $(CeO_2/YSZ/CeO_2)$ and a single buffer layer$(CeO_2)$ on textured Ni-W alloy tapes. XRD data showed that the qualities of in-plane and out-of-plane textures of the two type buffer structures were good. Also, we investigated the properties of SmBCO superconducting layer that was deposited on the two type buffer structure. The SmBCO superconducting properties on the single and multi buffer structure showed different critical current values and surface morphologies. FWHM of In-plane and out-of-plane textures were $7.4^{\circ},\;5.0^{\circ}$ in the top CeO2 layer of the multi-buffer layers of $CeO_2/YSZ/CeO_2$, and $7.3^{\circ},\;5.1^{\circ}$ in the $CeO_2$ single buffer layer. $1{\mu}m-thick$ SmBCO superconducting layers were deposited on two type buffer layer. $I_c$ of SmBCO deposited on single and multi buffer were 90 A/cm, 150 A/cm and corresponding $J_c$ were $0.9MA/cm^2,\;1.5MA/cm^2$ at 77K in self-field, respectively.

Steam reforming of n-hexadecane, a major component of diesel over Ni-based hydrotalcite-like catalyst was carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure with space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ and feed molar ratio of steam/carbon=3.0. Ni-based hydrotalcite catalyst was prepared by a solid phase crystallization (spc) method and characterized by $N_2$-physisorption, CO chemisorption, TPR., XRD, and TEM techniques. It was found that spc Ni/MgAl catalyst showed higher catalytic stability and inhibition of carbon formation than Ni/$\gamma-Al_2O_3$ catalyst under the tested conditions. The results suggest that the modified spc-Ni/MgAl catalyst after optimization may be applied for the SR reaction of diesel.

Unpolarized 1.047-GeV proton inelastic scatterings from the Ni isotopes $^{62}Ni$ and $^{64}Ni$ are analyzed phenomenologically employing an optical potential model and the first-order collective model in the relativistic Dirac coupled channel formalism. The Dirac equations are reduced to $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger-like$ second-order differential equations, and the effective central and spin-orbit optical potentials are analyzed by considering the mass-number dependence. The multistep excitation via the $2^+$ state is found to be important for the $4^+$ state excitation in the ground state rotational band for proton inelastic scatterings from the Ni isotopes. The calculated deformation parameters for the $2^+$ and the $4^+$ states of the ground state rotational band and for the first $3^-$ state are found to agree pretty well with those obtained from nonrelativistic calculations.

Nowadays, research interest in developing the wearable devices are growing remarkably. Portable consumer electronic systems are becoming lightweight, flexible and even wearable. In fact, wearable electronics require energy storage device with thin, foldable, stretchable and conformable properties. Accordingly, developing the flexible energy storage devices with desirable abilities has become the main focus of research area. Among various energy storage devices, supercapacitors have been considered as an attractive next generation energy storage device owing to their advantageous properties of high power density, rapid charge-discharge rate, long-cycle life and high safety. The energy being stored in pseudocapacitors is relatively higher compared to the electrochemical double-layer capacitors, which is due to the continuous redox reactions generated in the electrode materials of pseudocapacitors. Generally, transition metal oxides/hydroxide (such as $Co_3O_4$, $Ni(OH)_2$, $NiFe_2O_4$, $MnO_2$, $CoWO_4$, $NiWO_4$, etc.) with controlled nanostructures (NSs) are used as electrode materials to improve energy storage properties in pseudocapacitors. Therefore, different growth methods have been used to synthesize these NSs. Of various growth methods, electrochemical deposition is considered to be a simple and low-cost method to facilely integrate the various NSs on conductive electrodes. Herein, we synthesized amorphous $NiWO_4$ NSs on cost-effective conductive textiles by a facile electrochemical deposition. The as-grown amorphous $NiWO_4$ NSs served as a flexible and efficient electrode for energy storage applications.

Inconel 617 and Hastelloy X are the most promising candidate materials for the heat exchanger of next generation nuclear reactor. Surface coating and its effects on high temperature properties for the Inconel 617 and Hastelloy X under molten FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF) salt environment have been investigated. For TiAlN and $Al_2O_3$ overlay coatings, the two different PVD (physical vapor deposition) methods of an arc discharge and a sputtering were applied, respectively. A study for the thermal stability of the surface modified Ni-Cr alloy substrates has been conducted. To evaluate the corrosion mechanism of Ni-Cr alloys in the molten salt, a ruptured Inconel pipe used for the molten salt transportation has been analyzed. The thermal properties of morphological and structural properties each sample were characterized before and after heat-treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ in molten FLiNaK salt. The results showed that the TiAlN and $Al_2O_3$ overlay coated specimens had the enhanced high temperature stability.
