The multilayer structure of glass/Ta(5.8 nm)/NiFe(5 nm)/Cu(t nm)/NiFe(3 nm)/FeMn(12 nm)/Ta(5.8 nm) as typical GMR-SV (giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) films is prepared by ion beam sputtering deposition (IBD). The coercivity and magnetoresiatance ratio are increased and decreased for the decrease of Cu thickness when the thickness of nonmagnetic Cu layer from is varied 2.2 nm to 3.0 nm. It means that the decrease of non-magntic layer is effected to the interlayer exchange coupling of pinned layer and the spin configuration array of free layer. For experiment of detecting and dropping of magnetic beads we used the GMR-SV sensor with glass/Ta/NiFe/Cu/NiFe/FeMn/Ta structure. From the comparison of before and after for the dropping status of magnetic bead, the variations of MR ratio, $H_{ex}$, and $H_c$ are showed 0.9 %, 3 Oe, and 2 Oe, respectively. The fabrication of GMR-SV sensor was included in the process of film deposition, photo-lithography, ion milling, and MR measurement. Further, GMR-SV device can be easily integrated so that detecting biosensor on a single chip becomes possible.

Two-layered ferromagnetic alloy films (NiFe, CoFe) with a Conetic (NiFeCuMo) intermediately soft magnetic layer of different thickness were investigated to correlate the coercivity values and magnetization process with the strength of saturation field of hard axis. Thickness dependence of the $H_{EC}$ (coercivity of easy axis), $H_{HS}$ (saturation field of hard axis.), and X (susceptibility) of NiFe and NiFeCuMo thin films for the glass/Ta(5 nm)/[CoFe or NiFe(5 nm-t/2)]/NiFeCuMo(t = 0, 4, 6, 8, 10 nm)/[CoFe or NiFe(5 nm-t/2)]/Ta(5 nm) films prepared by the ion beam deposition method was measured. The magnetic properties $H_{EC}$, $H_{HS}$, and X of two-layered ferromagnetic CoFe, NiFe films with a NiFeCuMo intermediately super-soft magnetic layer were strongly depended on the thickness of NiFeCuMo layer. The value of the coercivity and magnetic susceptibility of the NiFeCuMo film decreased by 25% and doubled relative to that of the NiFe film.

희토류계 영구자석은 높은 보자력과 잔류 자화을 가지고 있어 자기기록저장매체, MEMS(엑츄에이터), 센서 등의 응용 분야에 적용시키기 위해 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 희토류계 원소의 수급 및 가격의 문제점으로 친환경자석으로의 전환 및 희토류나 중희토류를 사용하지 않는 비희토류계 영구자석을 개발하는 연구에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이 중 Fe-N 계 자성 물질인 $Fe_{16}N_2$는 포화 자화 값이 현재까지의 자성물질 중 가장 높은 값(240emu/g)을 나타내며 상대적으로 높은 결정자기이방성 상수를 가지고 있어 비희토류계 영구자석 물질 중 하나로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Fe_{16}N_2$ 박막을 얻기 위해 DC Magnetron Sputtering 방법을 이용하여 Si wafer 위에 박막을 증착하고 증착공정 조건 중 질소 유량 및 Sputtering Power를 변수로 따른 박막의 성장, 조직변화, 자성 특성을 관찰을 통해 최적의 공정 조건을 찾고자 하였다. $N_2$ 가스 유량 변화에 따른 박막의 성장 속도는 거의 변화가 없었으며 $N_2$ 가스 유량의 증가에 따라 박막 내 Fe의 함유량은 감소하였다. 모든 공정 조건에서 $Fe_3N$, $Fe_4N$, $Fe_{16}N_2$ 상들이 섞여 성장하였으며 XRD를 통한 상분석과 더불어 VSM을 통한 자성 특성을 분석해본 결과 $Fe_{16}N_2$의 분율이 가장 높게 성장된 공정 조건은 Power는 200W, $N_2$ 가스 유량은 20sccm이었으며 이 조건에서 2.45T의 포화 자화 값과 1.4T의 잔류 자화 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper describes the design and performance of a hovering AUV 'NOAH' constructed at Jeju National University. We analyse the dynamic performance of NOAH using simulation program and carry out depth control test at small basin. The main purpose of NOAH is to carry out fundamental tests on its attitude control and position control. Its configuration is similar to general ROV appearance for underwater works and dimension is $0.75m{\times}0.5m{\times}0.5m$. It has 4 thrusters of 450watt for longitudinal/lateral/vertical propulsion and is equipped with a pressure sensor for measuring water depth and a magnetic compass for measuring heading angle. The navigation of the vehicle is controlled by an on-board Pentium III-class computer, which runs with the help of the Windows XP operating system. These give us an ideal environment for developing various algorithm which are needed for developing and advanced hovering AUV.

희토류계 영구자석은 대부분의 전기, 전자 제품의 핵심부품이며 높은 보자력, $BH_{max}$를 가지고 있어 자기기록저장매체, MEMS(엑츄에이터), 소형센서, 소형모터 등의 응용 분야에 적용시키기 위해 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 영구자석에 들어가는 희토류계 원소의 수급의 어려움 및 가격의 문제점으로 친환경 자석으로의 전환 및 희토류나 중희토류를 사용하지 않는 비희토류계 영구자석을 제조 및 개발하는데 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이 중 Fe-N 계 자성물질인 $Fe_{16}N_2$는 포화 자화 값이 현재까지의 비희토류계 자성물질 중 가장 높은 값(240emu/g)을 나타내며 상대적으로 높은 결정자기이방성 상수를 가지고 있어 비희토류계 영구자석 물질 중 하나로 주목받으며 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Fe_{16}N_2$ 박막을 얻기 위해 DC Magnetron Sputtering 방법을 이용하여 Si wafer 위에 박막을 증착하고 증착시간에 따라 두께를 제어하여 제조한 후 박막의 미세구조, 상 분석, 자성 특성을 관찰을 통해 최적의 공정 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 증착 시간에 따른 박막의 성장 속도는 일정하게 증가하였으며, 증착 시간의 증가에 따라 박막 내 $Fe_{16}N_2$의 상대적인 분율은 감소하였다. 모든 공정 조건에서 $Fe_3N$, $Fe_4N$, $Fe_{16}N_2$ 상들이 섞여 성장하였으며 XRD를 통한 상분석과 더불어 VSM을 통한 자성 특성을 분석해본 결과 $Fe_{16}N_2$의 분율을 가장 높게 성장된 공정 조건은 증착 시간이 10분이며 박막의 두께가 ${\sim}1{\mu}m$ 일 때, 최적의 조건을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이 때의 자성 특성을 분석한 결과 ~2.45T의 포화 자화 값과 ~1.41T의 잔류 자화 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

Several research cases using remote sensing methods to analyze changes of storage and dynamics of groundwater aquifer were reviewed in this paper. The status of groundwater storage, in an area with regional scale, could be qualitatively inferred from geological feature, surface water altimetry and topography, distribution of vegetation, and difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration. These qualitative indicators could be measured by geological lineament analysis, airborne magnetic survey, DEM analysis, LAI and NDVI calculation, and surface energy balance modeling. It is certain that GRACE and InSAR have received remarkable attentions as direct utilization from satellite data for quantification of groundwater storage and dynamics. GRACE, composed of twin satellites having acceleration sensors, could detect global or regional microgravity changes and transform them into mass changes of water on surface and inside of the Earth. Numerous studies in terms of groundwater storage using GRACE sensor data were performed with several merits such that (1) there is no requirement of sensor data, (2) auxiliary data for quantification of groundwater can be entirely obtained from another satellite sensors, and (3) algorithms for processing measured data have continuously progressed from designated data management center. The limitations of GRACE for groundwater storage measurement could be defined as follows: (1) In an area with small scale, mass change quantification of groundwater might be inaccurate due to detection limit of the acceleration sensor, and (2) the results would be overestimated in case of combination between sensor and field survey data. InSAR can quantify the dynamic characteristics of aquifer by measuring vertical micro displacement, using linear proportional relation between groundwater head and vertical surface movement. However, InSAR data might now constrain their application to arid or semi-arid area whose land cover appear to be simple, and are hard to apply to the area with the anticipation of loss of coherence with surface. Development of GRACE and InSAR sensor data preprocessing algorithms optimized to topography, geology, and natural conditions of Korea should be prioritized to regionally quantify the mass change and dynamics of the groundwater resources of Korea.

We designed a borehole deviation survey tool applicable for steel-cased holes, K-DEV, and developed a prototype for a depth of 500 m aiming to development of own equipment required to secure deep subsurface characterization technologies. K-DEV is equipped with sensors that provide digital output with verified high performance; moreover, it is also compatible with logging winch systems used in Korea. The K-DEV prototype has a nonmagnetic stainless steel housing with an outer diameter of 48.3 mm, which has been tested in the laboratory for water resistance up to 20 MPa and for durability by running into a 1-km deep borehole. We confirmed the operational stability and data repeatability of the prototype by constantly logging up and down to the depth of 600 m. A high-precision micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope was used for the K-DEV prototype as the gyro sensor, which is crucial for azimuth determination in cased holes. Additionally, we devised an accurate trajectory survey algorithm by employing Unscented Kalman filtering and data fusion for optimization. The borehole test with K-DEV and a commercial logging tool produced sufficiently similar results. Furthermore, the issue of error accumulation due to drift over time of the MEMS gyro was successfully overcome by compensating with stationary measurements for the same attitude at the wellhead before and after logging, as demonstrated by the nearly identical result to the open hole. We believe that the methodology of K-DEV development and operational stability, as well as the data reliability of the prototype, were confirmed through these test applications.
