A room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed for oxygen-deficient rutile and anatase $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ films. XPS data revealed the existence of $Ti^{3+}$ ions, for compensating the charge imbalance caused by oxygen vacancies in the film. The observed ferromagnetism is attributable to the spin ($3d^1$) alignment of the $Ti^{3+}$ ions. Such spin alignment can happen through magnetic polaron formed by trapped electron in oxygen vacancy and magnetic $Ti^{3+}$ ions around it.

The rotatable anisotropy effect was observed in the ferromagnetic resonance measurement in exchange coupled ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic thin films and it was due to rotation of antiferromagnetic layer by the exchange coupling energy. We analyzed the CoFe thickness dependence of rotatable anisotropy field and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth in exchange coupled $CoFe(t_F)/MnIr(2.5nm)$ thin films. The rotatable anisotropy field was inversely propositional to the CoFe thickness and it was well fitted by the rotatable anisotropy energy of $0.96erg/cm^2$. The ferromagnetic resonance linewidth were linearly propositional to the rotatable anisotropy field in $t_F$ < 50 nm, while it was more dominated by the eddy current effect in $t_F$ > 50 nm.

BiFeO3 (BFO)는 강자성과 유전체 특성을 모두 구현할 수 있는 재료로서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. BFO 박막을 제조하는 방법에는 sputtering, chemical solution deposition, pulsed laser deposition methods 등이 알려져 있으나, 이러한 방법들은 근본적으로 고 진공을 사용하거나, 고온에서의 열처리, 낮은 성막 속도 등의 문제점이 있어, 상온에서 비교적 쉽게 박막을 제조할 수 있는 Aerosol deposition에 관한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 BFO의 강자성, 강유전 특성을 향상시키기 위해 Ba(Cu1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BCN)를 첨가한 Ba(Cu1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BFO-BCN) 복합재료를 합성하였다. 합성한 마이크론 크기의 입자를 사용하여 나노 결정립 크기의 Ba(Cu1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BFO-BCN) 박막을 상온에서 진공 분말 분사 공정(Aerosol-Deposition)을 이용하여 제조하고, 강자성 및 강유전성 특성을 평가하였다. Aerosol deposition방법으로 제조된 BFO-BCN박막은 BFO박막에 비해 우수한 강자성과 강유전 특성 나타내었다.

The out-of-plane and in-plane angular dependence of ferromagnetic resonance field was measured in NiFe thin films fabricated by magnetron sputtering. The effective magnetization was obtained from the out-of-plane angular dependence of ferromagnetic resonance field, which was well agreed with calculated one. The decrease of effective magnetization with NiFe thickness was due to the surface anisotropy constant of $K_s=-0.23\;erg/cm^2$. The in-plane uniaxial anisotropy fields were obtained from the in-plane angular dependence of ferromagnetic resonance field. The easy axis of in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field was rotated to the reverse direction of applied magnetic field during sample fabrication, which was explained by the antiferromagnetic NiFeO layer at sample surface.

We analyzed the angular dependence of ferromagnetic resonance linewidth in exchange coupled CoFe/MnIr bilayers. The maximum and minimum linewidth was observed in the easy and hard direction of unidirectional anisotropy by exchange coupling, respectively, and it was well agreed with the angular dependence of exchange bias field. The maximum linewidth was due to the twist of CoFe magnetization near CoFe/MnIr interface from direction of pinned MnIr spin to direction of applied magnetic field. While, minimum linewidth more higher than that of CoFe was related to rotatable anisotropy field, and explained by easy axis distribution of MnIr grains.

We analyzed the ferromagnetic and spin wave resonance signals measured in amorphous CoFeB thin films with different thickness. The ferromagnetic resonance field ($H_{FMR}$) was not depend on the thickness of CoFeB films, but the spin wave resonance field ($H_{SWR}$) was well fitted with the theoretical prediction depending on the thickness. The uniaxial anisotropy field of $H_k$ = 37 Oe was obtained from the angular dependent $H_{FMR}$ in CoFeB films. The $H_{SWR}$ showed same angular behaviors with $H_{FMR}$, however, the amplitude of spin wave resonance signals showed 5.7 times higher than that of ferromagnetic resonance signals in CoFeB film with t = 100 nm. The higher signals were due to the two reasons; one was the small damping for the spin wave propagation without degradation, the other was uniform magnetization for the ideal standing wave modes.

Exchange bias effect of a various layered thin films were studied by FMR measurment. In plane angular dependence of a resonance field distribution which measured by FMR was analysed as a combined effect of an unidirectional anisotropy and an uniaxial anisotropy. Exchange biased NiFe/IrMn, IrMn/NiFe/IrMn, and NiFe/IrMn/CoFe thin films showed larger unidirectional anisotropy field and uniaxial anisotropy field with compared to that of an unbiased NiFe single thin film. In case of NiFe/Cu/IrMn, the film with thick Cu layer exhibited a similar trend to the unbiased NiFe thin film. NiFe/IrMn/CoFe thin film showed two resonance field distribution due to different ferromagnetic layers. In additon to the resonance field, the line width was also analysed with related to exchange bias effect.

Room temperature ferromagnetism of Co doped ZnO was studied using (ZnO/Co) multilayer structure, and the effects of ZnO sub-layer thickness on the RT ferromagnetism was investigated. As for the as-deposited state, the diamagnetism was observed for ($ZnO\;20{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$) while the ferromagnetism was observed for ($ZnO\;40{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$). After vacuum-annealed, both showed the RT ferromagnetism and ($ZnO\;40{\AA}/Co\;x{\AA}$) structure interestingly showed negative remanence magnetization behavior. UV-Vis spectrometer revealed that Co atoms were substituted with Zn in ZnO and Co cluster was not found in XPS and HRTEM EDS analysis.

The magnetoresistance and the saturation field behavior of the Co-Ag nano granular films as a function of the composition and the ferromagnetic underlayer and overlayermaterials were investigated. The maximum magnetoresistance of 23% and the saturation field of 2.3 kOe at room temperature were obtained in the as-deposited 3000$\AA$ $Co_{30}Ag_{70}$ single alloy films. The magnetoresistance and the saturation field of 100$\AA$ $Co_{30}Ag-{70}$ alloy film were 3.65 % and 3.0 kOe respectively. Those of the sandwiched films with 200$\AA$ Fe were 3.3 % and 1.23 kOe respectively. The saturation field of the sandwiched alloy films could be reduced by the exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic layers and the alloy layer. The effective depth of the exchange coupling was approximately 150$\AA$ in each Fe layer. Among the Fe, Co, and FeNi, the most effective materials to reduce the saturation field of the sandwiched alloy films was Fe.

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 $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$.
