In this study, a very thin Ni/Au bilayer metal film was prepared by electron beam evaporation and thermal alloying to form ohmic contact on p-type GaN film. After thermal alloying, the current– voltage (I – V) characteristic of Ni/Au contact on p-type GaN film exhibited ohmic behavior. The Ni/Au contacts showed a specific contact resistance of 1.7310 V cm at an alloying temperature of 450 °C. I...

in this research, tribological characteristics of ni-p electroless coating and double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating were studied. for this purpose, ni-p electroless coating with 25 μm thickness was initially applied to the surface of steel ck45 samples; then, a double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating, including inner layer of ni-p with 15 μm thickness and outer layer of ni-b with 1...

A nickel bis(diphosphine) complex containing pendant amines in the second coordination sphere, [Ni(P(Cy)2N(t-Bu)2)2](BF4)2 (P(Cy)2N(t-Bu)2 = 1,5-di(tert-butyl)-3,7-dicyclohexyl-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane), is an electrocatalyst for hydrogen oxidation. The addition of hydrogen to the Ni(II) complex gives three isomers of the doubly protonated Ni(0) complex [Ni(P(Cy)2N(t-Bu)2H)2](BF4)2. U...

The Ni(II) atom in the title compound, [Ni(C(24)H(43)P(2))(NO(3))], adopts a distorted square-planar geometry with the P atoms in a trans arrangement. The compound contains a twofold rotational axis with the nitrate group offset from this axis, except for an O atom of the nitrate group, generating two positions of 50% occupancy for the other atoms of the nitrate group.

The title compound, [Ni(C(7)H(7)OS)(2)(C(3)H(9)P)(2)], was obtained as a product of the reaction of [NiMe(2)(PMe(3))(3)] with two molar equivalents of 4-methoxy-thio-phenol in diethyl ether. The compound is stable in the air for several hours, but rapidly decomposes at room temperature in solution. The Ni atom displays a square-planar coordination with two P-donor atoms lying in trans positions...

In the title complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)O(2)S)(C(26)H(24)P(2))]·CH(3)OH, the nickel(II) centre adopts an approximately square-planar geometry, with the Ni atom coordinating to the S and O atoms of the bidentate thio-salicylate ligand and the two P atoms of the chelating Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2) ligand. There is hydrogen bonding between the methanol solvent mol-ecule and the carbonyl O atom of the thio-...

The title ion-pair complex, (C(25)H(20)ClFP)(2)[Ni(C(2)N(2)S(3))(2)], was obtained by the direct reaction of (4-F,2-ClBzTPP)(+)·Br(-) [4-F,2-ClBzTPP(+) is (2-chloro-4-fluoro-benz-yl)triphenyl-phos-pho-nium], NiCl(2)·6H(2)O and Na(2)tdas (tdas(2-) is 1,2,5-thia-diazole-3,4-dithiol-ate) in methanol. The asymmetric unit of the title structure comprises one (4-F,2-ClBzTPP)(+) cation and half of an ...

The microstructure and martensitic transformation in the Ni-36.3Al-0.1Y (in at.%) alloy were investigated after ho~nogenisation and plastic deformation by hot upsetting at 1100°C. The alloy exhibited large, recrystallised grains of the Ni-A1 P phase wit11 spl~erical precipitates inside the grains and a thin layer of other phases located at the grain boundaries. The SEM and EDX analysis showed t...

—The recent discovery of herbivores that feed on Ni-hyperaccumulating plants and contain elevated Ni concentrations in their bodies suggests that Ni may be transferred to their predators. We tested this hypothesis using the high-Ni herbivore Melanotrichus boydi and four predator species: the spiders Pholcus phalangioides and Misumena vatia, the mantid Stagmomantis californica and the lacewing C...

In this paper we report a new nanometallic, self-activating catalyst, namely, Ni-supported Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs/Ni) for low temperature ammonia cracking, which was prepared using a novel approach involving the transfer of nanoparticles from the intermediate carrier, i.e. nano-spherical SiO2, to the target carrier technical grade Ni (t-Ni) or high purity Ni (p-Ni) grains. The method that was ...
