The phase stability and the electrical properties of $La(Ni_{1-x}Cu_x)O_3$ (X=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) have been investigated. The single phases were observed in the compositions of X=0.2, 0.4, and these single phases were stable up to $870^{\circ}C$ and $950^{\circ}C$ respectively. The electrical properties of these single phase samples showed metallic behavior similar to LaNiO3 from room temperature to the temperature at which the phase was stable.

Nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ is fabricated by a sol-gel method. The magnetic and structural properties of powders were investigated with XRD, SEM, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and VSM. $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powders annealed at $300{^{\circ}C}$ have a spinel structure and behaved superparamagnetically. The estimated size of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 10 nm. The hyperfine fields at 13 K for the A and B patterns are found to be 533 and 507 kOe, respectively. The ZFC curves are rounded at the blocking temperature ($T_B$)and show a paramagnetic-like behavior above $T_B$. $T_B$ of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 250 K. Nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500{^{\circ}C}$ have a typical spinel structure and is ferrimagnetic in nature. The isomer shifts indicate that the iron ions were ferric at the tetrahedral (A) and the octahedral (B). The saturation magnetization of nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500{^{\circ}C}$ are 40 and 43 emu/g, respectively. The magnetic anisotropy constant of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at $300{^{\circ}C}$ were calculated to be 1.6 ${\times}$ $10^6$ ergs/$cm^3$.

Ultrafine NiO/YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconic) composite powders were prepared by using a glycine nitrate process (GNP) for anode material of solid oxide fuel cells. The specific surface areas of synthesized NiO/YSZ composite powders were examined with controlling pH of a precursor solution and the content of glycine. The binding of glycine with metal ions occurring in the precursor solution was analyzed by using FTIR. The characteristics of synthesized composite powders were examined with X-ray diffractometer, a BET method with $N_2$ absorption, scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Strongly acid precursor solution increased the specific surface area of the synthesized composite powders. This is suggested to be caused by the increased binding of metal ions and glycine under a strong acid solution of pH=0.5 that lets glycine consist of mainly the amine group of NH$_3$$^{+}$ After sintering and reducing treatment of NiO/YSZ composite powders synthesized by GNP, the Ni/YSZ pellet showed ideal microstructure very fine Ni Particles of 3-5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were distributed uniformly and fine pores around Ni metal particles were formed, thus, leading to an increase of the triple phase boundary among gas, Ni and YSZ.Z.

In perovskite solar cells with planar heterojunction configuration, selection of proper charge-transporting layers is very important to achieve stable and efficient device. Here, we developed solution processible Cu doped NiO_x (Cu:NiO_x) thin film as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) in p-i-n structured methylammonium lead trihalide (MAPbI₃) perovskite solar cell. The transmittance and thickness of NiO_x HTL is optimized by control the spin-coating rate and Cu is additionally doped to improve the surface morphology of undoped NiO_x thin film and hole-extraction properties. Consequently, a perovskite solar cell containing Cu:NiO_x HTL with optimal doping ratio of Cu exhibits a power conversion efficiency of 14.6%.

The quarternary system ceramics 0.5[yPb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-(1-y)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3]-0.5[xPbTiO3-(1-x)PbZrO3](PZN-PNN-PT-PZ) was fabricated by the columbite precursor method to obtain a stabilized perovskite structure and by conventional method to evaluate the efficiency of the former methd. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated and the stability of the perovskite phase was studied as a function of PZN and PT contents and firing temperature. In the samples prepared by the columbite precursor method, the pyrochlore phase, which is detrimental to both the dielectric and piezoelectric properties, was not observed in the absence of PZN, and electric properties were improved even when fabricated at low temperature. By adding PZN, some pyrochlore phase appeared and the morphotropic phase boundary of the samples shifted to more Zr-rich composition. The temperature dependence of piezoelectric constant decreased with the addition of PZN, due to the rising of the Curie point.

In this study, two different types of complementary electrochromic devices using amorphous $WO_{3}$ films as a working electrode, $V_{2}O_{5}$ film and NiO film as counter electrodes respectively were investigated. For the devices using amorphous and crystalline $V_{2}O_{5}$ films of $100{\sim}150nm$ thickness with $ITO/WO_{3}/LiClO_{4}-PC/V_{2}O_{5}/ITO$ structure, an optical modulation of $50{\sim}60%$ were obtained at a potential range of $1{\sim}2V$. It has been shown that transmittance and reflectance of light could be electrically controlled by low applied voltage. For the devices with $ITO/WO_{3}/LiClO_{4}-PC/NiO/ITO$ structure in which NiO film was deposited by a RF reactive sputtering, the optical modulation in visible light region (${\lambda}=550nm$) and in near infrared light region (${\lambda}=850nm$) were 25% and 30%, respectively.

NiCuZn Ferrites, known as preventing EMI/EMC, were prepared and their properties were investigated based on the chemical composition ratio, sintering temperature, and mean particle size. The NiCuZn ferrite made of $Fe_2O_3$ 49.0 mol%, NiO 9.0 mol%, CuO 8.0 mol%, ZnO 34.0 mol% could be applied at the largest range of electromagnetic wave. The optimal calcination and sintering temperature were $900^{\circ}C$ and $1080^{\circ}C$, respectively. The electromagnetic wave loss capacity of its mean particle size $1.12{\mu}m$ was superior to others examined.

The spallation of a thermal barrier coating layer depends on the formation of brittle spinels. thermal expansion mismatch between ceramic and metal. the phase transformation of a ceramic layer and residual stress of coating layer. In this work. the formation mechanism of oxide scale formed by oxidation treatment at 90$0^{\circ}C$ was investigated in order to verify oxidation behavior at the interface between E-beam coated $Zr0_2$-7wt.% $Y_20_3$ and plasma sprayed CoNiCrAIY. Some elements distributed in the bond coating layer were selectively oxidized after oxidation. At the initial time of oxidation. AI-depletion zone and $\alpha$-$Al_O_3$,O, were formed at the bond coating layer by the AI-outward diffusion. After layer grew until critical thickness. spinels. $Cr_20$, and $C0_2CrO_4$ by outward diffusion of Co. Cr, Ni were formed. It was found that the formation of spinels may be related to the spallation of $Zr0_2$-7wt.% $Y_20_3$ during isothermal oxidation.
