NiO 나노 결정을 수소 분위기에서 환원시켜 Ni 금속이 형성되는 거동에 대하여 고찰하였다. NiO 나노 결정은 $Ni(NO_3)_2\cdot6H_2O$를 열처리하여 얻었고, 200~500 nm의 입도와 정 팔면체의 형상을 나타내었다. 이 결정은 일반적인 합성조건에서는 잘 형성되지 않는 불안정 상태인 불안정상태인 (111)면이 발달한 결정체였다. 환원은 300과 $600^{\circ}C$에서 15분과 60분간 수행하였다. NiO 결정의 환원은 불안정한 (111)면에서 우선적으로 일어나기 시작하였으며, $300^{\circ}C$ 환원에서는 팔면체 형상을 유지하면서 Ni로 환원되었다. $600^{\circ}C$ 환원에서는 팔면체 결정의 facet 면이 사라지고, 인접한 결정립들 간의 neck가 형성되면서 Ni 상의 입자로 응집되어가는 것을 확인하였다.

$Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$를 원료로 하여 고온에서 열처리함으로써 얻어진 NiO 나노 결정의 성장거동에 대하여 고찰하였다. 성장된 결정의 상은 정 8면체의 구조를 갖고 있었으며, 200${\sim}$500 nm 크기로 성장하였다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리하였을 때, $600^{\circ}C$ 이하의 열처리 온도에서 나타나지 않았던 (110)과 (100) facet이 생성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다 또한 $900^{\circ}C$ 열처리에서는, $600^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 열처리 한 시료보다 크기가 작은 결정상이 neck을 형성하면서 성장하였음을 관찰하였다.

The effects of oxidation on the order-disorder transition in NiPt bimetallic alloy crystal have been investigated using in-situ synchrotron x-ray scattering technique. The temperature dependence of the crystal structure and the order parameter were measured during in-situ heating and cooling under vacuum and oxygen environments. The order-disorder transition temperature of NiPt alloy crystals in vacuum was between $615^{\circ}C$ and $627^{\circ}C$. On the other hand under oxygen environment, the transition temperature decreases by about $31^{\circ}C$ after the oxidation. The change of the transition temperature can be explained by the formation of NiO crust on the surface of NiPt crystal, which alters the composition of the Ni and Pt atoms. Since the transition temperature depends sensitively on the Ni-Pt composition, the transition temperature changes as Ni atoms diffuse out to form NiO.

We investigated the surface oxidation behavior of cube-textured polycrystalline nickel at various oxidation conditions. Cube-textured NiO film was formed on a cube-textured polycrystalline nickel regardless of oxidation conditions but different growth behavior of NiO crystals was observed depending on the oxidation conditions. The introduction of water vapor into $O_2$ did not affect the texture evolution, but rough and porous microstructure was developed. Microstructure of NiO film tends to be denser as the oxygen partial pressure increases. It is interesting that (111) peak of theta - two theta diffraction pattern started to get stronger in air atmosphere and (111) plane became the major texture in the substrate oxidized in high purity argon gas. Small amount of high index crystallographic plane NiO peak crystal was observed when $N_{2}O$ was used as an oxidant while only (200) plane crystal was formed in dry $O_2$ atmosphere. Flat and smooth surface was changed into rough faceted one when ramping rate to oxidation temperature was faster. The grain size of NiO was decreased when the oxygen partial pressure was low. It was also observed that the modification of nickel surface suppressed the development of (200) texture.

The Pt-Ni alloy is an electro-catalyst of interest in the low temperature direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs). It has been already reported that the Pt-Ni alloy catalysts may even have enhanced activity compared to pure platinum catalyst, depending on how the surfaces are prepared. The order-disorder transition in bimetallic alloy such as $\beta$-CuZn, Cu3Au, and CuAu have been investigated greatly by x-ray diffraction. After annealing the bimetallic alloy, the crystal structure changes as observed in the order-disorder transition of Cu3Au which changes from the face centered cubic to a simple cubic structure. Pt-Ni bimetallic alloy has been already reported to have the face centered cubic structure. However, in nano-scale Pt-Ni bimetallic alloy crystals the crystal structures changes to a simple cubic structure. In this experiment, we have studied the order-disorder transition in Pt-Ni bimetallic nanocrystals. Pt/Ni thin films were deposited on sapphire(0001) substrates by e-beam evaporator and then Pt-Ni alloy were formed by RTA at 500, 600, and $700^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum environment and Pt-Ni nano particles were formed by RTA at $1059^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum environment. We measured the structure of Pt-Ni bimetallic alloy films using synchrotron x-ray diffraction and SEM.
