We have investigated the magnetoresistance (MR) effect of the spin valve structures composed of perpendicularly magnetized Pd/Co multilayers, with changing the space layer (Pd or Cu) thickness, the stacking number of the Pd/Co multilayers, and the Co insertion-layer thickness. The Cu space layer showed larger MR ratio than the Pd space layer. The Co insertion-layer between Cu layer and pinned layer enhanced the MR ratio about three times. The maximum MR ratio of 7.4 % was established in the sample with the Co insertion-layer thickness of 0.62 and 1.01 nm.

1. 철근출막은 결정자기이방성의 영향이 작기 때문에, 자기특성이 막의 기하학적구조에 의해 거의 결정되고 그것에 의하여 자성막의 설계가 가능하다. 2. 코발트 근출막은 결정자기이방성이 자기특성에 영향은 크기때문에 코발트 결정의 자화용역축(C축)의 배향에 의하여 자기특성은 크게 변한다. 따라서 이 C축의 배향성을 변화시켜 석출입자의 형태를 바꾸지 않고 작은 포아직경에서도 항자력의 제어가 가능하였다. 3. 코발트-철합금신출막은 조성변화에 의하여 자기특성을 제어할 수 있다. 또 ㅈ포화자화, 항자력도 철을 석출한 자성막에 비해서 높은 값을 나타냄을 물론, 우수한 각형화(Mr/Ms)로 얻어지는 큰 자기에너지적으로 수직 자기기록방식의 고정밀의 로타리 엔코다에의 응용이 유망하다.

We study the giant magneto-resistance (GMR), coercivity and their dependence on the ferromagnetic layers adjacent to the nonmagnetic layer in a spin-valve structure, [Pd/ferromagnetic] multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. We fabricated a basic spinvalve structure of $[Pd/Co]_2$/ferro-magnetic layer/nonmagnet/ferro-magnetic layer/$[Pd/Co]_2$/FeMn and investigated the dependence of its GMR and magnetic properties such ad coercivity on the ferromagnetic material to reduce the coercivity of the free layer. We try to reduce the freelayer coercivity by controlled the anisotropy, we insert the material NiFe, $Co_8Fe_2$, $Co_9Fe_1$ to ferromagnetic layers adjacent to the Cu layer. Then, we have been able to reduce the coercivity as low as 100 Oe, and also achieved 6.7% of magneto-resistance ratio when the ferromagnetic layer thickness was 0,7 nm.

Magnetotelluric (MT) survey investigates electrical structure of subsurface by measuring natural electromagnetic fields on the earth surface. For the accurate interpretation of MT data, the precise three-dimensional (3-D) modeling algorithm is prerequisite. Since MT responses are affected by electrical anisotropy of medium, the modeling algorithm has to incorporate the electrical anisotropy especially when analyzing time-lapse MT data sets, for monitoring engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, because changes in different-vintage MT-data sets are small. This study developed a MT modeling algorithm for the simulation MT responses in the presence of electrical anisotropy by improving a pre-existing staggered-grid finite-difference MT modeling algorithm. After verifying the developed algorithm, we analyzed the effect of vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) anisotropy on MT responses. In addition, we are planning to extend the applicability of the developed algorithm which can simulate not only the horizontal transversely isotropic (HTI) anisotropy, but also the tiled transversely isotropic (TTI) anisotropy.

Dependence of interlayer exchange coupling on antiferromagnetic IrMn thickness, thermal stability, and parallel anisotropy angle in perpendicular anisotropy [CoFe/Pt/CoFe]/IrMn multilayers was investigated. The magnetic property of [CoFe($10{\AA}$)/Pt($8{\AA}$)/CoFe($10{\AA}$)] induced by antiferromagnetic ordering of IrMn layer was maintained a stable perpendicular anisotropy up to $250^{\circ}C$ and from $7{\AA}$ to $160{\AA}$ of IrMn thickness. The value of interlayer exchange coupling of [CoFe/Pt/CoFe]/IrMn multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy increased to 1.5 times at anisotropy angle of $60^{\circ}$ more than of $0^{\circ}$. On the other side, the interlayer exchange coupling at anisotropy angle of $90^{\circ}$ was $\infty$ Oe, it was likely diverted to a parallel shape magnetization.

We investigate the exchange bias effect in $[Pd/Co]_5$ superlattice structures which are representative system of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We fabricate Si/$[Pd/Co]_5$/FeMn structures, and study the exchange bias variations by measuring hysteresis loop variations with thickness of FeMn layer. In order to optimize the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, we fix the thickness of Pd with 1.1 nm and investigate the dependence of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy on the ferromagnetic Co layer thickness. As results, we find that the biggest coercivity in 0.3 nm of Co layer without FeMn layer. The biggest exchange bias field is found for 0.3 nm of Co layer when we change the Co thickness with fixed FeMn thickness. When we vary thickness of FeMn layer, the biggest coercivity is found for 5 nm of FeMn layer. No exchange bias is observed when the FeMn layer is thinner than 3 nm, and the exchange bias field increases with FeMn layer thickness continuously up to 15 nm.
