Fabrication condition and magnetic properties of ultrathin Co-based amorphous alloy have been investigated. When the ejection gas pressure was lower than 0.05 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the roll speed of 55 m/s, ultrathin ribbons with the thickness less than 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were successfully obtained. The ribbon thickness decreased linearly with the decrease in ejection pressure. Moreover the significant decrease in ribbon width was accompanied with the decrease of thickness in the range of ejection pressure to form an ultrathin ribbon. This behavior was attributed to the decrease of effective ejection pressure in the both end-sides of rectangular nozzle due to the larger friction between molten metal and nozzle wall. The effective permeability at low frequency (1 kHz) decreased largely with the decrease in ribbon thickness, while the coercive force increased with the thickness decrease. It was considered that these behaviors were due to the enhancement of surface effect leading to the suppression of wall motion. However effective permeability at high frequency (1 MHz) increased with the decrease in ribbon thickness, and this was ascribed to the easier magnetization rotation owing to the reduction of eddy current.

This paper deals with eddy current loss of magnetic coupling with radial permanent magnet (PM) using analytical method such as a space harmonic method. Superposition of two kinds analysis model is used to analyze eddy current loss induced in inner PM and outer PM of magnetic coupling. When the eddy current is induced, the environmental temperature increases, and the permanent magnet(PM) characteristics are degraded because the performance of PM is greatly influenced by temperature rise. Hence, the calculation of eddy current loss becomes an important factor in the magnetic coupling. In order to analyze eddy current loss, first, on the basis of the magnetic vector potential and two-dimensional(2-D) polar-coordinate system, the magnetic field solutions of the radial magnetized PM are obtained. And we obtain the analytical solutions for the eddy current density produced by permanent magnet. Lastly, analytical solutions for eddy current loss are derived by using equivalent, electrical resistance calculated from magnet volume and analytical solution for eddy current density. This analytical results are validated by comparing with the 2-D finite element analysis (FEA).

고휘도 고효율 백색 LED (lighting emitting diode)가 차세대 조명광원으로 급부상하고 있다. 백색 LED를 생산하기 위한 공정에서 MOCVD (유기금속화학증착)장비를 이용한 Epi wafer공정은 에피층과 기판의 격자상수 차이와 열팽창계수차이로 인하여 생성되는 에피결함의 제거를 위하여 기판과 GaN 박막층 사이에 완충작용을 해줄 수 있는 버퍼층 (Buffer layer)을 만들고 그 위에 InGaN/GaN MQW (Multi Quantum Well)공정을 하여 고휘도 고효율 백색 LED를 구현할 수 있다. 이 공정에서 기판의 온도가 불균일해지면 wafer 파장 균일도가 나빠지므로 백색 LED의 yield가 떨어진다. 균일한 기판 온도를 갖기 위한 조건으로 기판과 induction heater의 간격, 가스의 흐름, 기판의 회전, 유도가열코일의 디자인 등이 장비의 설계 요소이다. 코일에 교류전류를 흘려주면 이 코일 안 또는 근처에 있는 도전체에 와전류가 유도되어 가열되는 유도가열 방식은 가열 효율이 높아 경제적이고, 온도에 대한 신속한 응답성으로 인하여 열 손실을 줄일 수 있으며, 출력 온도 제어의 용이성 및 배출 가스 등의 오염 없다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 유도가열방식의 induction heater를 이용하여 회전에 의한 기판의 온도 균일도 측정을 하였다. 기초 실험으로 저항 가열 히터를 통하여 대류에 의한 온도 균일도를 평가하였다. 그 결과 gap이 3 mm일 때, 평균 온도 $166.5^{\circ}C$ 에서 불균일도 6.5 %를 얻었으며 이를 바탕으로 induction heater와 graphite susceptor의 간격이 3 mm일 때, 회전에 의한 온도 균일도를 측정을 하였다. 가열원은 induction heater (viewtong, VT-180C2)를 사용하였고, 가열된 graphite 표면의 온도를 2차원적으로 평가하기 위하여 적외선 열화상 카메라(Fluke, Ti-10)을 이용하여 온도를 측정하였다. 기판을 회전하면서 표면 온도의 평균과 표준 편차를 측정한 결과 2.5 RPM일 때 평균온도 $163^{\circ}C$ 에서 가장 좋은 5.5 %의 불균일도를 확인할 수 있었고, 이를 상용화 전산 유체 역학 코드인 CFD-ACE+의 모델링 결과와 비교 분석 하였다.

Composites of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder and epoxy were prepared using a thermal curing process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and network analyzer were used to analyze the structure, electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption of the composites. Results show that the saturation magnetization depends on the fraction of the $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder in the composite, which affects initial permeability. It is believed that the eddy current loss is a dominant factor over 1 GHz and that the resonance frequency of the composite decreases with increasing fractions of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder. Finally, reflection loss was calculated from the permeability and permittivity of these composites. Composite with 50 wt.% $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder fractions and 5 mm thickness showed reflection loss below -20 dB from 3.66 GHz to 4.16 GHz. Therefore, it is believed that thin Fe-Si/epoxy composites may be a good candidate for microwave absorption application.

For the aim of thin electromagnetic wave absorbers used in mobile telecommunication frequency band (0.8-2.0㎓), we investigate high-frequency magnetic, dielectric and microwave absorbing properties of iron particles dispersed in rubber matrix in this study. The major experimental variables are particle shape (sphere and flake) and initial particle size (in the range 5-70 $\mu\textrm{m}$) of iron powders. High value of magnetic permeability and dielectric permittivity can be obtained in the composites containing thin plate-shape (flake) iron particles (of which thickness is less than skin depth in ㎓frequency), which can be produced by mechanical forging of spherical iron powders using an attrition mill. This result is attributed to the reduction of eddy current loss (increase of permeability) and the increase of space charge polarization (increase of permeability). The optimum initial particle size is found to be about 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ for the attainment of the material parameters (particularly, real part of complex permeability) satisfying the wave impedance matching. With the iron powders controlled in size and shape as absorbent fillers in rubber matrix, the thickness can be reduced to about 0.7mm with respect to -5㏈ reflection loss (70% power absorption) in mobile telecommunication frequency band.

The powder core, conventionally fabricated from iron particles coated with insulator, showed large eddy current loss under high frequency, because of small specific resistance. To overcome the eddy current loss, the increase in the specific resistance of powder cores was needed. In this study, copper oxide coating onto electrically conductive iron particles was performed using a planetary ball mill to increase the specific resistance. Coating factors were optimized by the Response surface methodology. The independent variables were the CuO mass fraction, mill revolution number, coating time, ball size, ball mass and sample mass. The response variable was the specific resistance. The optimization of six factors by the fractional factorial design indicated that CuO mass fraction, mill revolution number, and coating time were the key factors. The levels of these three factors were selected by the three-factors full factorial design and steepest ascent method. The steepest ascent method was used to approach the optimum range for maximum specific resistance. The Box-Behnken design was finally used to analyze the response surfaces of the screened factors for further optimization. The results of the Box-Behnken design showed that the CuO mass fraction and mill revolution number were the main factors affecting the efficiency of coating process. As the CuO mass fraction increased, the specific resistance increased. In contrast, the specific resistance increased with decreasing mill revolution number. The process optimization results revealed a high agreement between the experimental and the predicted data ($Adj-R^2=0.944$). The optimized CuO mass fraction, mill revolution number, and coating time were 0.4, 200 rpm, and 15 min, respectively. The measured value of the specific resistance of the coated pellet under the optimized conditions of the maximum specific resistance was $530k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.
