The catalysts for decomposition reaction of acetaldehyde were investigated. The catalysts were prepared with transition metal Ni, Mo, Al on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ support by impregnation method. Physio-chemical properties of catalysts were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, BET and TPR techniques. The conversion efficiency of catalysts for acetaldehyde was measured in the temperature range of $150{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ by GC through the micro reactor system. The 8 wt% $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was found to be the most active catalyst of mono-metal catalysts tested, and the 1-3 wt% $Ni-Al/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ showed higher conversion efficiency than other bimetallic catalysts.

Geochermical characteristics of the fluvial sediments deprnding on particle size distribution size were investigated in the respect of majir, minor and rare eath element chemisitry. Ratios of $Al_{2}O_{3}/Na_{2}O$ and $K_{2}O/Na_{2}O$ of the sediments show the homogeneous valus, and partly positive correlation with $SiO_{2}/Al_{2}O_{3}$, respecively. Characteristics of minor element ratios (V/Ni, Cr/V, Ni/Co and Zr/Hf)are within the lower and narrow range. Thesesuggested that sediment sources may be acidic to intermediate granitic rock, and may be explained by simple weathering and sedimentation. With increasing SiO2 contents, concentrations of $Al_{2}O_{3}$, $Fe_{2}O_{3}$, CaO and MgO decreased, but those of $K_{2}O$ and $Na_{2}O$ increased, Concentrations of Ba, Be, Cs, Cu, Li, Ni, Sr, V and Zr show comparatively normal negative and some positive trends. Compared with the mean composition of granite, concentrations of $Al_{2}O_{3}$, $Fe_{2}O_{3}$, MnO, CaO and MgO in the sediments of the study area were highly enriced. Among some minor and rare earth elements, concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, and V were enriched, but those of Be, Ce, Rb, Sc, Sr and Zn were depleted when compared with average composition of granite. By decreasing of particle size fractions, SiO2, Rb and Sr conterts decreased, but concentrations of $Al_{2}O_{3}$, $Fe_{2}O_{3}$, CaO, MgO, $TiO_{2}$, MgO, $P_{2}O_{5}$, Be, Cu, Hf, Pb, V and Zr increased. From the correlations between particle size fractions and element concenreations, some elements of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$, CaO, MgO, $P_{2}O_{5}$, Cu, Ni, Zn and Zr showed typical trends in the secondary contramination sediments. These trends are typically shown under 100 mesh fractions. It indicates that the fraction of minus 100 mesh is the optimum size fraction for geochemical and environmental survey.

The $N_2O_2$ tetradentate Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis(salicylidene)pentane-1,3-diamine (Salpn), coupled with 1:2 concentration ratio of 1,3-diaminopentane and salicylaldehyde was used to produce a series of macrocyclic Nikel(II) complexes. In the metal complexation, it was observed that Salpn macrocyclic ligand can adopt more than a metal ion giving an unique multinuclear metal complexes including Ni(II)Salpn and $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$. Characteristic IR ${\upsilon}(M-O)$ peaks for Ni(II)Salpn and $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were observed to be $1028cm^{-1}$ and $1024cm^{-1}$, respectively. Characteristic UV-Vis absorption ${\lambda}_{max}$ peaks for $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were observed to be 241nm and 401 nm. Structural characterization of $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ by NMR exhibits that the salicylidene ring moiety has two different resonance signals originated from the magnetically asymmetric diligand and trinuclear bis complex. Complete NMR signal assignments and characterizations elucidating structural features of $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were described in detail.

Nickel substituted nano-sized ferrite powders, $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$, $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$), were fabricated using a sol-gel method, and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were subsequently compared. The lattice constants decreased as quantity of nickel substitution increased, while the particle size decreased in $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite but increased for the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites. For the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$) ferrite powders, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the $Fe^{3+}$ ions. However, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum of $Mn_{0.8}Zn_{0.1}Ni_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ consisted of two Zeeman sextets and one single quadrupole doublet due to the ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic behavior. The area ratio of the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be used to determine the cation distribution equation, and we also explain the variation in the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ parameters by using this cation distribution equation, the superexchange interaction and the particle size. The saturation magnetization decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. The coercivity decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. These variations could thus be explained by using the site distribution equations, particle sizes and spin magnetic moments of the substituted ions.

NiO thin films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on glass substrates. The processing variables of the oxygen content, sputtering power, and pressure were varied to investigate the electrical properties and surface morphology of NiO films. It was found that the resistivity of NiO films at $1.22{\times}10^2{\Omega}cm$ (2.5% $O_2$ in Ar gas) was greatly reduced to$ 2.01{\times}10^{-1}$ ${\Omega}cm$ (100% oxygen) under a typical sputtering condition of 6 mTorr and 200 watts. In an effort to observe the resistivity variances, the sputtering power was varied from 80 to 200 watts at 6 mTorr with 100% $O_2$. However, the resistivity of the NiO films changed in the range of $10^{-1}-10^{-2}$ ${\Omega}cm$. The dependence on the sputtering power was therefore found to be weak in this experiment. When the sputtering pressure was changed from 3 to 60 mTorr at 200 watts with 100% $O_2$, the resistivity of the NiO films showed the lowest value of $5.8{\times}10^{-3}$ ${\Omega}cm$ at 3 mTorr, which is close to that of commercial ITO films (${\sim}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm$). As the sputtering pressure increased, the resistivity also increased to 4.67 cm at 60 mTorr. The surface morphology of the NiO films was also checked by Atomic Force Microscopy. It was found that the RMS surface roughness values ranged from 0.6 to 1.5 nm and thtthe dependence on the sputtering parameters was weak.

In this study, we tried to find out the appropriate synthetic condition and magnetic properties of Ni-Zn ferrite {(NixZn1-x)Fe2O4} powders (where X=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ……0.9, 1). Ferrite powders were prepared by wet-direct method at 86℃ for 6hrs from FeCl36H2O, NiCl26H2O, and ZnCl2. The powders of (NixZn1-x)Fe2O4 (where X=0.4, 0.5, 0.6) have a good crystallinity, but the other ferrite powders consist of crystal and precursor ferrite. The ferrite powder's lattice constant is increased when ratio of ZnO contant is increased in the ferrite composition. And initial permeability was measured after sintering, result indicated regular pattern except (Ni0.4Zn0.6)Fe2O4 when the frequency were changed 10KHz to 10MHz.

This study develops a highly transparent ohmic contact scheme using indium oxide doped ZnO (IZO) as a current spreading layer for p-GaN in order to increase the optical output power of nitride-based lightemitting diodes (LEDs). IZO based contact layers of IZO, Ni/IZO, and NiO/IZO were prepared by e-beam evaporation, followed by a post-deposition annealing. The transmittances of the IZO based contact layers were in excess of 80% throughout the visible region of the spectrum. Specific contact resistances of $3.4\times10^{-4}$, $1.2\times10^{-4}$, $9.2\times0^{-5}$, and $3.6\times10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ for IZO, Ni/Au, Ni/IZO, and NiO/IZO, respectively were obtained. The forward voltage and the optical output power of GaN LED with a NiO/IZO ohmic contact was 0.15 V lower and was increased by 38.9%, respectively, at a forward current of 20 mA compared to that of a standard GaN LED with an Ni/Au ohmic contact due to its high transparency, low contact resistance, and uniform current spreading.

$LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4-x\;wt.%LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$를 단순화한 연소법에 의하여 합성하고, 그것들의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 30분동안 밀링하여 준비한 $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4-x\;wt.%LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ (x=9, 23, 33, 41 and 47) 혼합물 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. x=33 조성의 전극이 가장 큰 초기방전용량(132.0mAh/g at 0.1C)을 나타내었다. x=9조성의 전극은 비교적 큰 초기방전용량(109.9mAh/g at 0.1C)과 우수한 싸이클 특성을 나타내었다. 싸이클링에 따른 혼합물 전극의 방전용량의 감소는 주로 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$의 퇴화에 기인한다고 생각된다. 그런데 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$의 퇴화는 $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$로부터 용해된 Mn이 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$를 둘러쌈(coating)으로써 야기되는 것으로 생각된다.

Nanomaterials have been widely used in many fields. This study investigates the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles (CuO, NiO, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$, ZnO) on germination and germination index (G.I.) of seeds, Lactuca and Raphanus. Under aqueous exposure, CuO on Lactuca shows the most significant impacts on activities compared to others, showing $EC_{50s}$ for germination and G.I. as 0.46 mg/L and 0.37%, respectively. The effects of nanoparticle phytotoxicity on seed Lactuca was much higher than that of Raphanus. In general, the toxicities on seed germination and germination index were as following orders : CuO > ZnO > NiO ${\gg}$ $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$. No measurable inhibition was observed at 1,000 mg/L (maximum exposure concentration) of $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$.
