The magnetic and electronic properties of Ni impurity in bcc Fe ($Ni_1Fe_{26}$) are investigated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method based the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We found that the Ni impurity in bcc Fe increases both the lattice constant and the magnetic moment of bcc Fe. The calculated equilibrium lattice constant of $Ni_1Fe_{26}$ in the ferromagnetic state was 2.84 A, which is slightly larger than that of bcc Fe (2.83 ${\AA}$). The averaged magnetic moment per atom of $Ni_1Fe_{26}$ unit cell was calculated to be $2.24{\mu}_B$, which is greater than that of bcc Fe (2.17 ${\mu}_B$). The enhancement of magnetic moment of $Ni_1Fe_{26}$ is mainly contributed by the nearest neighbor Fe atom of Ni, i.e., Fe1, and this can be explained by the spin flip of Fe1 d states. The density of states shows that Ni impurity forms a virtual bound state (VBS), which is contributed by Ni $e_{g{\downarrow}}$ states. We suggest that the VBS caused by the Ni impurity is responsible for the spin flip of Fe1 d states.

Microstructure and permeability as a function of sintering temperature and composition were studied on the Ni$\delta$Cu0.4-$\delta$Zn0.6Fe2O4 ($\delta$=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) which was prepared by Cu2+ substitution for Ni2+ in Ni.0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, then followed by 8 wt% CuO and 1wt% Bi2O3 as sintering aids. It was found that NiCuZn ferrite in which Cu2+ is substituted for Ni2+ is more effective in reduction of sintering temperature than Ni.0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, containing CuO as a sintering aid. The specimen $\delta$=0.2 sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr exhibited the highest initial permeability value ($\mu$o=280 at 1Mhz), but the real permeability decreased at the frequency under 10 MHz. EPMA analysis showed that Ni$\delta$Cu0.4-$\delta$Zn0.6Fe2O4 ($\delta$=0.4), sintered at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs consisted of three phase regions of Ni.0.3Cu0.1Zn0.6Fe2O4 region, Cu and Bi liquid existed at the 3-point boundary, although the stabilization energy of Ni2+ is higher than that of Cu2+ in B site.

In this study we manufacture a Ni-Cr-B-Si +WC/12Co composite coating layer on a Cu base material using a laser cladding (LC) process, and investigate the microstructural and mechanical properties of the LC coating and Ni electroplating layers (reference material). The initial powder used for the LC coating layer is a powder feedstock with an average particle size of $125{\mu}m$. To identify the microstructural and mechanical properties, OM, SEM, XRD, room and high temperature hardness, and wear tests are implemented. Microstructural observation of the initial powder and LC coating layer confirm the layer is composed mainly of ${\gamma}-Ni$ phases and WC and $Cr_{23}C_6$ carbides. The measured hardness of the LC coating and Ni electroplating layers are 653 and 154 Hv, respectively. The hardness measurement from room up to high temperatures of $700^{\circ}C$ result in a hardness decrease as the temperature increases, but the hardness of the LC coating layer is higher for all temperature conditions. Room temperature wear results show that the wear loss of the LC coating layer is 1/12 of the wear level of the Ni electroplating layer. The measured bond strength is also greater in the LC coating than the Ni electroplating.

Microstructural control to produce multiphase structure has received much attention to improve the high temperature strength as well as low temperature ductility of intermetallics. Transmission electron microscopic investigation has been carried out concerning the effect of Cr-precipitation on the mechanical properties of B2-ordered NiAl containing 4 to 8 mol% of Cr. By aging at temperatures around 973 K after solution annealing, fine spherical precipitates took place homogeneously in the NiAl matrix and the alloys hardened appreciably. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns have not revealed any additional extra-spots during aging, because the Cr-particles show cube-cube orientation relationship and keep a perfect coherency with the ordered matrix lattice. Dislocations were confirmed to bypass the particles during deformation. Although the dispersion of Cr-particles increased the yield strength of NiAl at intermediate temperature, the strength decreased appreciably at higher temperatures.

An effect of the spin-orbit coupling interaction of ligand orbitals on the ground state for octahedral $[Ti(Ⅲ)A_3B_3]$, $ [V(Ⅲ)A_3B_3]$, $ [Fe(Ⅲ)A_3B_3]$ and $ [Ni(Ⅱ)A_3B_3]$ type complexes has been investigated in this work, applying the degenerate perturbation theory. The wave functions are not affected but the energy level splitting for the ground state of these complexes by the spin-orbit coupling interaction of ligand orbitals. The extent of effect on the energy level splitting for the ground state is decreased in order Ti(Ⅲ) > V(Ⅲ) > Fe(Ⅲ).

Electroless Ni and Cu platings were conducted on $B_4C$ and SiC. In the electroless Ni plating, the deposition rate on $B_4C$ was higher than on SiC. However, the electroless Cu deposition occured with high deposition rate regardless of the carbide substrates used in this study. Uniformity of the deposits was better in the electroless Cu deposition than in the electroless Ni deposition. In the topographies of the electroless depositions, Ni deposits have grown as colony, whereas Cu deposits have grown as fine individual grains.

The effect of$ZrO_2$addition on the microstructure and electrical properties of Ni-Mn oxide NTC thermistors was studied. Major phases present in the sintered bodies of $Ni_{1.0}Mn_{2-x}Zr_xO_4$ were the solid solutions of Ni-Mn-Zr oxides with a cubic spinel structure and the $ZrO_2$ with a tetragonal structure. The $ZrO_2$ was formed by the partial decomposition or incomplete formation of the Ni-Mn-Zr oxides during sintering. With increasing the amount of added $ZrO_2$, the $ZrO_2$ phase increased. The relationship between log resistivity (log p) and the reciprocal of absolute temperature (1/T) of the NTC thermistors prepared was linear, indicative of NTC characteristics. The resistivity, B constant and activation energy of the thermistors increased with increasing $ZrO_2$ content.

The crystallographic properties and cationic distribution of $M_{0.2}Fe_{2.8}O_4$ (M =Mn, Ni, Cu) and $Fe_3O_4$ thin films prepared by sol-gel method have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and conversion electron M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy (CEMS). The ionic valence, preferred site, and hyperfine field of Fe ions of the ferrites could be obtained by analyzing the CEMS spectra. The $M_{0.2}Fe_{2.8}O_4$ films were found to maintain cubic spinel structure as in $Fe_3O_4$ with the lattice constant slightly decreased for Ni substitution and increased for Mn and Cu substitution from that of $Fe_3O_4$. Analyses on the CEMS data indicate that $Mn^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ ions substitute octahedral $Fe^{2+}$ sites mostly, while $Cu^{2+}$ ions substitute both the octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The observed intensity ratio $A_B/A_A$ of the CEMS subspectra of the samples exhibited difference from the theoretical value. It is interpreted as due to the effect of the M substitution for A and B on the Debye temperature of the site. The relative line-broadening of the B-site CEMS subspectra can be explained by the dispersion of magnetic hyperfine fields due to random distribution of M cations in the B sites.

Structure of premartensite in $Ti_{50}Ni_{49}Fe_1\;and\;Ti_{50}Ni_{50}$ prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method has been investigated by a detailed transmission electron microscopy. $Ti_{50}Ni_{49}Fe_1$ consists of microdomain area and needle type domain area. On the other hand, $Ti_{50}Ni_{50}$ consists of microdomain-free and microdomain area, and needle type domain area. Various types of extra superreflections, such as 1/2<100>, 1/2<110> and 1/4<210> type superreflection have been observed in the selected area electron diffractions from microdomain area. Such extra superreflections are due to transformation from B2 structure to distorted B2 structure or premartensite. The present study shows that incommensurate phase forms as an intermediate phase during martensitic transformation. Particularly, in Fe-free $Ti_{50}Ni_{50}$, two types of matrix phases have been observed, microdomain and microdomain-free area. Types of extra superreflections in $Ti_{50}Ni_{50}$ are different from those in $Ti_{50}Ni_{49}Fe_1$, i.e. 1/7<321> type superreflections have been observed, instead of 1/2<110>, 1/2<100>, 1/4<210> types in $Ti_{50}Ni_{49}Fe_1$.

Let {$X_{ni}$,1$\leq$i$\leq$,n$\geq$1} be an array of rowwise independent B-valued random variables which is uniformly bounded by a random various X satisfying $E|X|^{2p}<\infty$ for some p$\geq$1. Let {$a_{ni}$,1$\leq$i$\leq$,n$\geq$1} be an array of constants. Under some auxiliary conditions on {$a_{ni}$}, it is shown that $sum_{i=1}^n a_{ni}X_{ni}\rightarrow0$ in probability if and only if $sum_{i=1}^n a_{ni}X_{ni}$ converges completely ot 0.
