Abstract:Nickel is typically used as one of the main components in electrical contact devices or connectors. Nickel oxide (NiO) is usually formed on the surfaces of electrodes and can negatively impact system performance by introducing electrical contact resistance. The thermal, electrical, and transport properties of NiO, as a Mott insulator or a p-type semiconductor, can be altered by operating and environmental conditions such as temperature and stress/strain by contact. In this study, we investigate the fundamental… Show more
