To obtain low switching field ($H_{SW}$) we introduced amorphous ferromagnetic $Co_{70.5}Fe_{4,5}Si_{15}B_{10}$ single and synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) free layers in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). The switching characteristics for MTJs with structures $Si/SiO_2/Ta$ 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe 7/AlOx/CoFeSiB 7 or CoFeSiB (t)/Ru 1.0/CoFeSiB (7-t)/Ru 60 (in nm) were investigated and compared to MTJs with $Co_{75}Fe_{25}$ and $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ free layers. CoFeSiB showed a lower saturation magnetization of $560 emu/cm^3$ and a higher anisotropy constant of $2800\;erg/cm^3$ than CoFe and NiFe, respectively. An exchange coupling energy ($J_{ex}$) of $-0.003erg/cm^2$ was observed by inserting a 1.0 nm Ru layer in between CoFeSiB layers. In the CoFeSiB single and SAF free layer MTJs, it was frond that the size dependence of the $H_{SW}$ originated from the lower $J_{ex}$ experimentally and by micromagnetic simulation based on the Landau-Lisfschitz-Gilbert equation. The CoFeSiB SAF structures showed lower $H_{SW}$ than that of NiFe, CoFe and CoFeSiB single structures. The CoFeSiB SAF structures were proved to be beneficial far the switching characteristics such as reducing the coercivity and increasing the sensitivity in micrometer to submicrometer-sized elements.

혼합형 고체추진제에는 연소속도를 증가시키는 촉매로서 철,구리,크롬등 전이금속 $화합물^1$ 이 사용되고 있다. 현재 당공장에서 양산되는 개량형 추진기관의 추진제에 철화합물인 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 가 사용되는데 그동안 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 를 공급해온 미국 Columbian chemical co.에서 생산을 중단함에 따라 새로운 수급이 필요하게 되었다. 이에 이원료의 안정적인 공급을 위해 국산 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 로 대체 개발하기 위해 국산 원료의 시장조사, 샘플 입수, 그리고 원료분석을 실시하였지만 당공장에서 사용해온 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 의 원료규격중 순도, 산도(PH값), 입도등 중요항목을 만족할만한 국산 원료는 발견하지 못했다. 하지만 국내 제조업체중 제조능력 및 시설을 고려하여 일신종합화학(인천 소재)을 선정한 다음 제조 공정의 개선을 통하여 당공장 사용 원료을 만족하는 원료를 생산할 수 있었고, 개향형 추진 기관의 추진제에 적용하여 추진제 공정성, 물성, 그리고 가장 중요한 연소특성을 만족하는 국산 $Fe_2$ $O_3$ 를 개발에 성공하여 양산에 적용하고 있다.

Thermal batteries are used for military power sources that require robustness and long storage life such as missiles and torpedoes. $FeS_2$ powder is currently used for cathode materials because of its high specific energy density, environmental non-toxicity and low cost. However, large particle size of conventional $FeS_2$ has been deterred its possible application for higher power thermal batteries. In order to improve the power density, high energy ball milling of $FeS_2$ has been introduced to crush the micron-sized $FeS_2$. Discharge characteristics of the single cells fabricated with nano-materials and conventional $FeS_2$ powder were evaluated.

We report the characteristics of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS) by controlling the carrier mobility according to the crystalline of Iron(II) Phthalocyanine(Fe-Pc) and metal-free Phthalocyanine (H$_2$-Pc). In order to change the recombination zone, we controlled the hole mobility by changing the crystal structures of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc. OLEDs were constructed with ITO/Fe-Pc/triphenyl-diamine (TPD)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq$_3$)/Al and ITO/H$_2$-Pc/triphenyl-diamine (TPD)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq$_3$)/Al. The electroluminescent properties were changed according to the heat-treatments of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc. We observed that the recombination zone and the carrier mobility were changed as the higher occupied molecular orbital levels of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc decreased.

The ZnFe2O4 powder were prepared under glycothermal conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. Ultrafine particles of the ZnFe2O4 were obtained at temperatures as low as 225-300$^{\circ}C$. The microstructure and phase of the ZnFe2O4 powder was studied by SEM and XRD. The properties of the powder were studied as a function of various parameters (reaction temperature, reaction time, solid loading). The average particle diameter of the ZnFe2O4 increased with increasing reaction temperature. After glycothermal treatment at 270$^{\circ}C$ for 8hrs., the average particle diameter of the ZnFe2O4 was about 50 nm.

Sr-ferrite having magnetoplumbite structure is similar to Ba-ferrite in magnetic characteristics, but better magnetic characteristics for using motor application. To improve remanence magnetic flux density(Br) and coercive force(iHc), it is necessary that sintered ferrites must have high density and grain size less than 1 $\mu$m. By varying n values in SrO.nFe2O3 basic composition, calcination temperature, and BaO addition, Sr-ferrite powder and sintered specimen was prepared. The n values, calcination temperature, and BaO addition affected secondary phase formation, particle size, and particle shape. BaO addition enhanced Fe2O3 secondary phase and hexagonal shape particle. Fe2O3 phase reduced sintered density which greatly decreased Br.

This paper deals with the stability analysis of concrete pipes mixed with nanoparticles conveying fluid. Instead of cement, the $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles are used in construction of the concrete pipe. The Navier-Stokes equations are used for obtaining the radial force of the fluid. Mori-Tanaka model is used for calculating the effective material properties of the concrete $pipe-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles considering the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for mathematical modeling of the structure. The motion equations are derived based on energy method and Hamilton's principal. An exact solution is used for stability analysis of the structure. The effects of fluid, volume percent and agglomeration of $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, magnetic field and geometrical parameters of pipe are shown on the stability behaviour of system. Results show that considering the agglomeration of $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, the critical fluid velocity of the concrete pipe is decreased.

The crystallization of amorphous Ba-ferrite/sapphire(001) thin films was studied in real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering experiments. In the sputter-grown amorphous films, we found the existence of epitaxial $Fe_3O_4$ interfacial crystallites (50-${\AA}$-thick), well aligned $[0.03^circ$full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)] to the sapphire [001] direction. The amorphous precursor was crystallized to epitaxial Ba-ferrite and \alpha-Fe_2O_3$grains in two steps; i) the nucleation of crystalline \alpha-Fe_2O_3$ phase started at $300^circ{C}$ together with the transformation of the $Fe_3O_4$ crystallites to the \alpha-Fe_2O_3$ crystallites, ii) the nucleation of Ba-ferrite phase occurred at temperature above $600^circ{C}$. In the crystallized films irrespective of the film thickness, the crystal domain size of the \alpha-Fe_2O_3$grains was about 250 ${\AA}$ in the film plane, similar to that of the Ba-ferrite grains.

The effects of reaction temperature and precursor concentration on the microstructure and magnetic properties of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles synthesized as final products of iron acetylacetonate in chemical vapor condensation (CVC) were investigated. Pure ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ phase was obtained at temperature above $900^{\circ}C$ and crystallite size of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles decreased with lowering precursor concentration. Also, the coercivity decreases with decreasing crystallite size of nanopowder. The lowest coercivity was 7.8 Oe, which was obtained from the ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowder sample synthesized at precursor concentration of 0.3M. Then, the crystallite size of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles was 8.8 nm.

Barium ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$) powders were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. $Fe^{3+}:Ba^{2+}$ mole ratio was fixed 8 and relative amount of $Fe^{3+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ was controlled. The effects of the pH (= 8, 9, 10), calcination temperature and time on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of the barium ferrite particles are characterized using XRD, FESEM, and VSM respectively. Coercivity and magnetization value of powders were changed with calcination temperature and time, relative amount of $Fe^{3+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ and pH. Single-phase barium ferrite was obtained when pH value was 9 in the investigated range of $Fe^{3+}:Ba^{2+}$ relative amount and secondary phases were appeared at $Fe^{3+}:Ba^{2+}$ relative amount of 14.4 : 1.8. The largest value of magnetization (65.7 emu/g) was obtained when $Fe^{3+}:Ba^{2+}$ mole ratio was 12.8 : 1.6 and calcination temperature was $900^{\circ}C$ with air calcination atmosphere. The largest value of coercivity (5280 Oe) was obtained with $O_2$ calcination atmosphere.
