최신 강자성 메모리 공정과 실리콘 비메모리 공정에서 Co, Ni, Fe 등 천이금속 계열의 증착 조건이 소자의 특성 향상 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 중요성이 점점 중요해 지고 있다. 강자성 메모리(MRAM)의 출현과 함께 Co, Ni, Fe 등의 수십 $\AA$ 두께를 전체 기판에 대해 균일하게 증착할 요구가 생겼다. MRAM에 요구되는 자기저항특성은 이러한 박막의 수 $\AA$ 두께 변화에 급격히 변화할 수 있으므로[1,2] 원하는 두께로 균일하게 증착 할 수 있는 기술의 확보가 필요하다[3]. (중략)

In this research, 15 patients were diagnosed with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI instruments (Philips, Medical System, Achieva) to minize Ferromagnetic artifact and find the optimized Tesla. Based on the theory that the 3.0T, when compared to 1.5T, show relatively high signal-to-ratio(SNR), Scan time can be shortened or adjust the image resolution. However, when using the 3.0T MRI instruments, various artifact due to the magnetic field difference can degrade the diagnostic information. For the analysis condition, area of interest is set at the background of the T1, T2 sagittal image followed by evaluation of L3, L4, L5 SNR, length of 3 parts with Ferromagnetic artifact, and Histogram. The validity evaluation was performed by using the independent t test. As a result, for the SNR evaluation, mere difference in value was observed for L3 between 1.5T and 3.0T, while big differences were observed for both L4, and L5(p<0.05). Shorter length was observed for the 1.5T when observing 3 parts with Ferromagnetic artifact, thus we can conclude that 3.0T can provide more information on about peripheral tissue diagnostic information(p<0.05). Finally, 1.5T showed higher counts values for the Histogram evaluation(p<0.05). As a result, when we have compared the 1.5T and 3.0T with SNR, length of Ferromagnetic artifact, Histogram, we believe that using a Low Tesla for Spine MRI test can achieve the optimal image information for patients with disk operation like PLIF, etc. in the past.

Oxygen-deficient anatase and rutile titanium dioxide $(TiO_{2-\delta})$ thin films were prepared by a sol-gel method and their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties were investigated. Both anatase and rutile $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$ Fe films exhibited ferromagnetism at room temperature for a limited range of Fe doping. For the same amount of Fe doping, the anatase sample exhibited a higher magnetic moment than the rutile one. Result of conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements indicates that $Fe^{3+}$ ions substituting the octahedral $Ti^{4+}$ sites mainly contribute to the room-temperature ferromagnetism. Some of the anatase $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$ films exhibited p-type character but the observed feromagnetism turns out to be independent of the hole concentration. The room-temperature ferromagnetism can be explained in terms of a direct ferromagnetic coupling between two neighboring $Fe^{3+}$ ions via an electron trapped in oxygen vacancy in $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$.

Spin dynamics of magnetic tunnel junctions with free and fixed reference layers is investigated by ferromagnetic resonance micromagnetic simulations. First, in magnetic tunnel junctions with an exchange biased synthetic ferrimagnetic reference layer, a magnetization direction of each layer and the tunneling magnetoresistance are calculated for a DC magnetic field. To investigate the spin exciting modes in magnetic tunnel junctions, we simulate the ferromagnetic resonance frequency spectra with small RF magnetic fields. Exciting modes of the tunneling magnetoresistance calculated by an included angle between free and reference layers is interpreted from those of each layer. Spin exciting modes are different according to a signs of the DC magnetic field. In a negative magnetic field, FMR frequency spectra of free and reference layers are well elucidated by the modified Kittel's equation. However, in a positive magnetic field, there is no simple analytic solution related to FMR frequency spectra due to the coupled modes. Since ferromagnetic layers in magnetic tunnel junctions are interactive each other, careful considerations of the reference and fixed layer as well as the free layer are required for understanding on the spin dynamics of magnetic tunnel junctions with an exchange biased synthetic ferrimagnetic reference layer.

We have investigated the effects of Al codoping on the structural, electrical transport, and magnetic properties of oxide diluted magnetic semiconductor $Zn_{1-x}Cr_xO$ thin films prepared by reactive sputtering. Nondoped $Zn_{0.99}Cr_{0.01}O$ thin films show semiconducting transport behavior and weak ferromagnetic characteristic. The Al doping increases the carrier concentration and results in an decrease of resistivity and metal-insulator transition behavior. With increasing carrier concentration, the magnetic properties drastically change, exhibiting a remarkable increase of the saturation magnetization. These results show carrier-enhanced ferromagnetic order in Cr-doped ZnO.

The magnetoresistance (MR) and the saturation field behavior of the CoFe-Ag nano granular films as a function of the ferromagnetic underlayer and overlayer materials were investigated. The maximum MR ratio of 25.7 % and the saturation field of 2.1 kOe in the as-deposited 3000 $\AA$ $(Co_{92}Fe_8)_{31}Ag_{69}$ single alloy films at room temperature were obtained. The MR ratio and the saturation field of the 100 $\AA$ alloy film were 1.2 % and 5.2 kOe, respectively. Those of the sandwiched alloy films of 200 $\AA$ thick with the Fe under and overlayer of 100 $\AA$ were 11 % and 1.8 kOe respectively. The reduction of saturation field in the sandwiched alloy films is due to the exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic layers and the alloy layer. Among the Fe and FeNi, the more effective materials to reduce the saturation field of the sandwiched alloy films was Fe.

교환바이어스(exchange bias)현상은 강자성과 반강자성의 접합계면에서 강한 상호 교환결합력에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 현상은 1956년 Meiklejohn과 Bean에 의해 CoO 층으로 둘러싸인 Co 입자에서 발견된 이후, 강자성과 반강자성의 접합계면을 가지는 다층 박막에서의 교환바이어스에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 이는 강자성/반강자성 박막의 교환바이어스 특성을 이용하여, 강자성 박막의 스핀방향을 고정시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 교환바이어스 특성은 하드드라이브의 고밀도 자기헤드소자 및 비휘발성 자기메모리소자에 응용되어지는 등 경제적 가치를 갖는 기술적인 면과 교환바이어스라는 자기특성의 학문적인 가치로 인해 이 분야에 대한 집중적인 투자와 연구가 이루어지고 있다 최근에는 교환바이 어스 현상의 원인과 형성기구에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 강자성과 반강자성 박막의 단거리 상호 교환결합력에 의한 교환바이어스 현상은, 계면의 원자구조, 자기구조 및 각자성층의 여러 가지 인자들에 대해서 지속적으로 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Helmhertz 코일의 진동샘플형 자력계(VSM)을 이용하여 Si 기판위에 증착된 NiFe(10nm)/FeMn(t)/NiFe(10nm) 다층박막에서 FeMn층의 두께에 대한 각각의 교환바이어스 현상을 조사하고 사잇층 FeMn층의 surface를 Ar ion beam etching하여 etching 조건에 따른 교환바이어스를 비교분석 하고자 한다.

Abstract We report the result of measurement for the ferro-to paramagnetic phase transition temperature shift of a gadolinium film. The phase transition temperature has been determined by measuring the resistance changes of film as function of temperature. At the ferro-to paramagnetic transition temperature, we can observe the inflection point of resistance changes. The phase transition temperature of 6600$\AA$ gadolinium film is found to be shifted by 4 $\pm$ 0.$3^{\circ}C$ below the transition temperature of bulk gadolinium. This is the first measurement for the phase transition temperature shift of ferromagnetic gadolinium film. This and further results might give a milestone in resolving the differences between experiments and finite-size scaling theory.

전자의 스핀정보를 이용한 spintronics 기술이 발전하면서 상온 강자성 반도체에 대한 연구가 주목을 각광 받고 있다. 자성반도체에 대한 연구는 diluted magnetic semiconductor(DMS)에 대한 연구로 시작되었다 할 수 있다. 과거 DMS는 II-IV족 또는 III-V족 반도체에 Mn, Cr, Co, Fe 원소들을 도핑 시켜 제작하여 왔으나, 상온 이상에서 강자성 특성을 가지는 DMS을 제작하는 데는 실패하였다. 최근에 Dietl 팀이 mean field 이론을 이용하여 망간이 도핑된 ZnO가 실온이상의 Tc를 가질 수도 있을 것으로 예측하였다.

최근 Y. Masumoto[1]등에 의하여 Co가 도핑된 anatase 구조의 TiO$_2$ 물질에서 상온 강자성 현상이 보고된 이후, 이에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 다른 연구 그룹들에 의해 실험적으로 상온 강자성을 성공하였다는 보고[2,3]가 있으나 현재 그 메커니즘에 대하여 명확한 해석이 되어있지 않고 있기 때문에 이것이 정말 자성반도체의 성질인지 아니면 clustering에 의한 것인지 아직 확실히 밝혀져 있지는 않다. (중략)
