The structural and optical properties of Ni-doped transparent glass-ceramics are reviewed. The quantum efficiencies of ceramics were examined to explore suitable crystalline phase for Ni-doping in glass-ceramics. Inverse spinel $LiGa_5O_8$ have the quantum efficiency of almost 100 % at room temperature. Transparent glass ceramics containing $LiGa_5O_8$ was successfully synthesized by heat treatment of $Li_2O-Ga_2-O_3-SiO_2-NiO$ glass. Most of $Ni^{2+}$ ions in glass-ceramic were incorporated into $LiGa_5O_8$ nanocrystals. The near-infrared emission covering from the O-band to L-band (1260-1625 nm) was observed from the Ni-doped $Li_2O-Ga_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass-ceramic though it was not observed from the as-cast glass. The lifetime of the emission was about $580\;{\mu}sec$ even at 300K. The emission quantum efficiency was evaluated as about 10 % that is enough high for practical usage as gain media of optical fiber amplifiers. The figure of merit (the product of the stimulated emission cross section and lifetime) was as high as that of rare-earth-doped glasses. The broad bandwidth, high quantum efficiency and high figure of merit show that transparent glass-ceramics containing $Ni^{2+}:LiGa_5O_8$ nanocrystals are promising candidates as novel ultra-broadband gain media.

PVDF as a semicrystal polymer, having a structure with C-F dipole moments, has been widely investigated because of its excellent chemical stability, mechanical strength, and ferroelectricity. In this study, ferroelectic ${\beta}$ type - PVDF layer was prepared by using an electrostatic spray deposition method and the effects of the addition of Ni-nitrate in precursor solution on the properties of PVDF layer were evaluated. Crystallinity and chemical structure of the PVDF layer were analyzed by a X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer. Surface structure and fractured cross section of the layer were examined by a field emission-scanning electron microscope. LCR meter was used to obtain the dielectric properties of the layer. As the addition of an inorganic metal salt in PVDF sol, ${\beta}$ type - PVDF crystals were appeared in the hydrated metal salts doped-layer since the strong hydrogen bondings $(O-H{\cdots}F-C)_n$ due to high polarity of OH- were formed.

대면적 그래핀을 합성하는 방법으로 주로 화학기상증작법, SiC 기판을 고온 열처리하는 방법 그리고 최근에는 고체소스를 활용하여 그래핀을 합성하는 방법 등이 보고되고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 폴리머 용액들을 원하는 기판에 스핀코팅하여 건조시킨 후, 후 열처리 공정을 통해 그래핀을 합성하고 물성을 평가해보았다. 그래핀 합성을 위해서 사용된 폴리머 탄소원은 Vinyl계 폴리머 용액으로, polystyrene (PS), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), 그리고 polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) 등으로 2wt%의 폴리머 용액을 $SiO_2$기판에 스핀 코팅을 하고, 그 위에 Nickel이나 Copper와 같은 catalytic metal을 capping layer로 증착하고, 고진공에서 후열처리 공정에 의해 그래핀을 성장하였다. 이때, 탄소원으로 쓰인 PS, PMMA 폴리머는 pristine graphene 합성을 위해, PAN 폴리머는 질소가 도핑된(n-type) 그래핀 합성을 위해 사용되었다. 그래핀의 물성은 폴리머 종류, 코팅된 두께, 촉매 금속층 종류와 두께, 그리고 후열처리 공정 온도와 시간에 따라서 조절이 가능하였다. 우리는 Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM 등을 활용하여 그래핀의 층수, 결함, 표면양상 등을 평가하였고, 또한 전사된 그래핀을 기반으로 제작된 FET의 게이트 전압에 따른 I-V 곡선을 측정하여 캐리어 종류 및 전하 이동도 등을 평가하였다. 더욱 상세한 내용은 프레젠테이션에서 논하겠다.

In this study, Ni silicide on the SOI substrate doped B11 is proposed to improve thermal stability. The sheet resistance of Ni-silicide utilizing pure SOI substrate increased after the post-silicidation annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, using the proposed B11 implanted substrate, the sheet resistance showed stable characteristics after the post-silicidation annealing up to $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

Gallium Oxide (Ga₂O₃) is preferred as a material for next generation power semiconductors. The Ga₂O₃ should solve the disadvantages of low thermal resistance characteristics and difficulty in forming an inversion layer through p-type ion implantation. However, Ga₂O₃ is difficult to inject p-type ions, so it is being studied in a heterojunction structure using p-type oxides, such as NiO, SnO, and Cu₂O. Research the lateral-type FET structure of NiO/Ga₂O₃ heterojunction under the Gate contact using the Sentaurus TCAD simulation. At this time, the VG-ID and VD-ID curves were identified by the thickness of the Epi-region (channel) and the doping concentration of NiO of 1×10¹⁷ to 1×10¹⁹ cm-3. The increase in Epi region thickness has a lower threshold voltage from -4.4 V to -9.3 V at I_D = 1×10^-8 mA/mm, as current does not flow only when the depletion of the PN junction extends to the Epi/Sub interface. As an increase of NiO doping concentration, increases the depletion area in Ga₂O₃ region and a high electric field distribution on PN junction, and thus the breakdown voltage increases from 512 V to 636 V at I_D =1×10^-3 A/mm.

Nickel-doped lanthanum cobalt oxide (LaCo_1-xNi_xO_3-δ, LCN) was investigated as an alternative anode material for solid oxide fuel cells. To improve its catalytic activity for steam methane reforming (SMR) reaction, Ni²⁺ was substituted into Co³⁺ lattice in LaCoO₃. LCN anode, synthesized using the Pechini method, reacts with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte at high temperatures to form an electrochemically inactive phase such as La₂Zr₂O₇. To minimize the interlayer by-products, the LCN was coated via a double-tape casting method on the Ni/YSZ anode as a catalytic functional layer. By increasing the Ni doping amount, oxygen vacancies in the LCN increased and the cell performance improved. CH₄ fuel decomposed to H₂ and CO via SMR reaction in the LCN functional layer. Hence, the LCN-coated Ni/YSZ anode exhibited better cell performance than the Ni/YSZ anode under H₂ and CH₄ fuels. LCN with 12 mol% of Ni (LCN12)-modified Ni/YSZ anode showed excellent long-term stability under H₂ and CH₄ conditions.

Lithium-ion batteries have been considered the most important devices to power mobile or small-sized devices due to their high energy density. $LixCoO_2$ has been studied as a cathode material for the Li-ion battery. However, the limitation of its capacity impedes the development of high capacity cathode materials with Ni, Mn, etc. in them. The substitution of Mn and Ni for Co leads to the formation of solid solution phase $LiNi_xMn_yCo_{1-x-y}O_2$ (NMC, both x and y < 1), which shows better battery performance than unsubstituted $LiCoO_2$. However, despite a high discharge capacity in the Ni-rich compound (Ni > 0.8 in the metal site), poor cycle retention capability still remains to be overcome. In this study, aiming to improve the stability of the physical and chemical bonding, we investigate the stabilization effect of Ca in the Ni-rich layered compound $Li(Ni_{0.83}Co_{0.12}Mn_{0.05})O_2$, and then Ca is added to the modified secondary particles to lower the degree of cationic mixing of the final particles. For the optimization of the final grains added with Ca, the Ca content (x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 at.%) versus Li is analyzed.

This paper studies the effects of the Mn-site substitution by nickel on the magnetic properties and the magnetocaloric properties of $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}Mn_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.1). The orthorhombic crystal structures of the samples are confirmed by the room temperature X-ray diffraction. The dependence of the Curie temperature ($T_C$) and the magnetic entropy change (${\Delta}S_M$) on the Ni doping content was investigated. The samples with x = 0 had the first order phase transition, while the samples with x = 0.05 and 0.1 had the second order phase transition. As the concentration of Ni increased, the maximum entropy change (${\mid}{\Delta}S_M{\mid}_{max}$) decreased gradually, from 2.78 $J{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ (x = 0) to 1.02 $J{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ (x = 0.1), in a magnetic field change of 15 kOe. The measured value of $T_C$ was 185 K, 150 K and 145 K for x = 0, 0.05 and 0.1, respectively. The phase transition temperatures became wider as x increased. It indicates that the Mn-site substitution by Ni may be used to tailor the Curie temperature in $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}Mn_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$.

The oxidation resistance of the diffusion aluminide bond coat (BC) is compromised largely by interdiffusion (ID) effects on coated turbine blades of aeroengines. The present study is designed to understand the influence of ID on βNiAl coatings or BC. In this regard, nickel substrate and CMSX-4 superalloy are deposited. In total, four sets of BCs are developed, i.e. pure βNiAl (on Ni substrate), simple βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate), Zr-βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate) and Pt-βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate). The main aim of this study is to understand the interdiffusion of Al, Zr and Pt during preparation and oxidation. In addition, the beneficial effects of both Zr and platinum are assessed. Pure βNiAl and simple βNiAl show Ni-out-diffusion, whereas for platinum inward diffusion to the substrate is noticed under vacuum treatment. Interestingly, Zr-βNiAl shows the least ID in all BCs and exhibit stability under both vacuum and oxidation treatments. However, its spallation resistance is slightly lower than that of Pt-βNiAl BC. All BCs show similar oxide growth trends, except for Zr-βNiAl, which exhibits two-stage oxidations, i.e. transient and steady-state. Moreover, it is suggested that the localized spallation in all BCs is caused by βNiAl - γ'-Ni₃Al transformation.

본 논문에서는 nickel/silicon carbide(Ni/SiC) 접합에 의한 Schottky 다이오드를 제작하고, 그 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. Ni/4H-SiC의 경우, 산화막 모서리 단락을 하였을 때 상온에서 973V의 역방향 항복전압이 측정되었으며 이는 모서리 단락되지 않은 Schottky 다이오드의 역방향 항복전압 430V에 비해 매우 높았다. Ni/6H-SiC Schottky 다이오드의 경우, 산화막으로 모서리 단락시켰을 때와 시키지 않았을 때의 역방향 항복전압은 각각, 920V와 160V 였다. 고온에서의 소자 특성도 매우 좋아서 Ni/4H-SiC Schottky 다이오드와 Ni/6H-SiC Schottky 다이오드 모두 300℃까지 전류 특성의 변화가 거의 없었으며 550℃에서도 양호한 정류 특성을 보였다. 상온에서의 Schottky barrier height와 이상인자(ideality factor) 및 specific on-resistance는 Ni/4H-SiC의 경우는 1.55eV, 1.3, 3.6×10/sup -2/Ω·㎠이었으며 Ni/6H-SiC Schottky 다이오드의 경우에 1.24eV, 1.2, 2.6×10/sup -2Ω·㎠/로 나타났다. 실험 결과 Ni/4H-SiC 및 Ni/6H-SiC Schottky 다이오드 모두 고온, 고전압 소자로서 우수한 특성을 나타냄이 입증되었다.
