Nickel can be deposited by e-beam evaporation, sputtering or electroplating. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment.
Nickel can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering at DTU Nanolab. For electroplating you will have to contact other institutes at DTU, e.g., DTU Mechanical Engineering.

Some process information is available here for e-beam evaporated films:
