Purpose : In an attempt to further improve the radiofrequency (RF) magnetic ($B_1$) field strength in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging, a 4-channel spiral-loop coil array with RF circuitry was designed and compared with a 4-channel single-loop coil array in terms of $B_1$ field, RF transmit (${B_1}^+$), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and applicability to TMJ imaging in 7T MRI. Materials and Methods: The single- and 4-channel spiral-loop coil arrays were constructed based on the electromagnetic (EM) simulation for the investigation of $B_1$ field. To evaluate the computer simulation results, the $B_1$ field and ${B_1}^+$ maps were measured in 7T. Results: In the EM simulation result and MRI study at 7T, the 4-channel spiral-loop coil array found a superior $B_1$ performance and a higher ${B_1}^+$ profile inside the human head as well as a slightly better SNR than the 4-channel single-loop coil array. Conclusion: Although $B_1$ fields are produced under the influence of the dielectric properties of the subject rather than the coil configuration alone at 7T, each RF coil exhibited not only special but also specific characteristics that could make it suited for specific application such as TMJ imaging.

In this study, the basic theory of geomagnetism was introduced and the field data of first order magnetic survey was analyzed to determine geographical distribution of magnetic elements such as Declination(D), Inclination(1), Horizontal Component(H), Vertical Component(Z) and Total Force(F). From this distribution equations, the distribution of geomagnetism of Korean peninsula was examined and the declination was calculated for National Base Maps.

Magnetic tunneling junction을 이용한 MRAM의 실용화에 있어서 무엇보다 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 밀도를 높이는 것으로, MRAM이 경쟁력을 갖는 메모리 소자가 되기 위해서는 소자의 크기를 submicron 영역까지 줄여야 한다. 소자의 크기가 submicron까지 줄어도 end domain이 존재하는데, 이것은 자화반전을 incoherent하게 일어나게 함으로써 자기저항비를 감소시키고, 또한 자화반전을 불규칙하게 함으로써 자화반전이 일어나는 자기장의 크기가 일정하게 되지 않기 때문에 소자의 신뢰성에 큰 문제를 야기시킨다 [1].
