CoPtCr magnetic layer was fabricated on the Cr underlayer by RF magnetron sputtering and the protective $SiO_2$ layer was deposited at room temperature. As the thickness of Cr underlayer increased, the coercive force of magnetic layer increased, then saturated slightly further increasing Cr underlayer thickness. Maximum coercive force was 860 Oe. It is thought that in-plane arrangement of magnetic phase and magnetic decoupling between the magnetic crystallites could lead to the increase of the coercive force. Post-annealing raised the coercive force exceedingly. and maximum coercive force value was 1650 Oe which was acquired from the sample annealed at 55$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr.

High performance permanent magnets have become the subject of considerable attention because of the potential applications in the traction motors of hybrid and electric vehicles and wind generators. Nd-Fe-B magnets have attracted considerable interest due to a large maximum energy product. However, Nd-Fe-B magnet cannot be used in high temperature (${\sim}200^{\circ}C$) applications due to the thermal degradation of coercivity. Therefore, the development of high coercivity Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is a challenging issue. In case of high coercivity Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet, an increment in the intrinsic coercivity can be easily achieved by substituting Nd atoms with Dy or Tb atoms. However, these heavy rare-earth elements are known to cause a decrease in remanence due to the antiferromagnetic coupling between Dy and Fe atoms. In addition, Dy is relatively expensive and being limited in quantity. Hence, a new technology that can increase the coercivity of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet using only a small amount, or even, no amount of heavy rare-earth elements is being investigated. This article describes the research trend in reducing the heavy rare-earth elements in Nd-Fe-B magnets.

KIGAM (Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources) and MRAM (Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia) performed joint survey on Bayan-Onjuul W-Mo mineralized area. Following the survey, we carried out magnetic survey. W-Mo occurrences are located with keeping a certain distance from the northern boundary of granite which has higher magnetic susceptibility values. Also, the 3D imaging results of magnetic inversion show that granite bodies are extended to the W-Mo occurrence areas from the deep main body with decreasing of susceptibility. The results of magnetic data analysis are well matched with the general characteristics of ore solution involved with W mineralization. The further study about the hidden ore deposits which have similar spatial relationship between granite and known WMo occurrences are necessary to improve the economic feasibility.

Effect of deposition conditions on the magnetic properties of SmCo/Cr prepared by a RF magnetron sputtering method was studied. We obtained the maximum coercivity of 3.2 kOe in the sample of Cr(50 nm)/SmCo(40 nm, 50W, 20 mT)/Cr(150 nm, 100 W, 30 mT). The coercivity of the SmCo/Cr depends largely on the roughness of the Cr underlayer and the composition of SmCo. The roughness of the Cr underlayer increased with increasing the Ar pressure and thickness, and promoted the isolation of SmCo grains which resulted in an enhanced coercivity. The composition of the SmCo was changed with RF power and Ar pressure due to the mass difference between Sm and Co and the resputtering phenomena. The maximum coercivity was obtained in the composition of about 20 at.% Sm. The mechanism of magnetization reversal of the present SmCo films changed from domain wall motion to domain rotation as the RF power and the Ar pressure increase. This was though to be due to the defects, such as the roughness of Cr surface, porous column boundaries etc., which inhibit domain wall movement.

Silica is an essential material in the electronics industries of LCDs and OLEDs, which particularly require high purity. This study attempted to find the optimal design of a magnetic separator for silica sand containing iron compounds using CFD simulation. Three designs of magnetic separation were prepared and their efficiency was examined. As a result of the evaluation, the sufficient contact of particulate silica with the surface of magnetic emitters improved the magnetic separation effects. In addition, the loss of $SiO_2$ and the removal rate of $Fe_2O_3$ depended strongly on the particle size, flow rate and magnetic flux density. In addition, magnetic separation is quite effective for a particle size of $10{\mu}m$ with a 0.2 m/s flow rate.

Artificial aging was performed to simulate the microstructural degradation in 2.25Cr-1Mo steel arising from long time exposure at $540^{\circ}C$. Microstructural analysis (mean equivalent size, number of carbides per unit area) and measurement of mechanical properties(UTS, Vickers hardness) and magnetic properties(coercivity, remanence) were performed. By comparing these results, the relationship between magnetic properties and microstructural changes with artificial aging was clarified. The carbides were classified as rod, globular and acicular type in terms of morphology. The fine acicular carbides were found to diminish drastically in the initial stage of aging. The magnetic coercivity and remanence were observed to decrease rapidly in the initial about 920 hours of aging time and then decrease slowly afterwards. Linear correlations between the mechanical properties and magnetic properties such as correlations remanence were found.

(NdㆍDy)-(FeㆍCoㆍAIㆍM)-B 합금에 Sn,Mo등을 첨가하여 그에 따른 미세구조와 열적안정성 및 자기적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. Sn과 Mo의 첨가는 (NdㆍDy)-(FeㆍCoㆍAIㆍM)-B 합금리본의 큐리온도를 크게 향상시켰으며 자기특성, 특히 보자력을 1KOe이상 증가시켰다. 그리고 이러한 현저한 보자력 증가는 입계형 defect인 disturbed grain boundary defect에 기인하는 것이라 판단되었다. 또한 Sn과 Mo 첨가원소는 irreversible loss를 각각 4%와 6% 감소시켜 리본자석의 열적안정성을 향상시켰다. 이는 Sn과 Mo의 첨가가 보자력을 크게 증가시켰기 때문이다. 한편 (NdㆍDy)-(FeㆍCoㆍAIㆍM)-B 리본자석들의 열저항온도(heat resistance temperature)는 irreversible loss와 직선관계를 이루었다.

자기기록의 고밀도화로 인해 보자력(Hc)이 큰 자기기록매체가 필요하게 되었다. 고보자력매체에 신호를 충분히 기록하기 위해서는 보다 강한 자장이 필요하다. 이 때문에 포화자화(Ms)가 큰 재료가 필요하며 고주파 영역에서 실효투자율($\mu$eff)이 높아야 한다. Fe계 합금박막은 이에 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 Fe의 결정자기이방성에 영향을 미치는 Si과 Fe의 격자 변형을 유도할 수 있는 B를 첨가하였다. Fe-B-Si 계 박막을 질소분위기 중에서 RF Matnetron Sputter로 제작하여 연자기적 특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. Fe91.49B4.01Si4.50at% 박막은 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리를 행함으로써 약 900(10MHz) 정도의 투자율과 7.6Oe의 보자력을 나타냈으며 포화자화는 1300emu/㎤를 얻었다.

Glass와 실리콘 웨이퍼(p-type(100), $ ho$=6~8$\Omega$-cm)를 기판으로 하여 NiFe/glass , NiFe/Si, NiFe/Al/Si, NiFe/Ti/Si 의 박막을 제작하였다. 하지층으로 사용한 알루미늄과 티타늄은 RF 스퍼터링으로 증착하였으며 퍼럼로이(NiFe) 필름은 60, 80, 90wt%Ni로 조성을 변화시켜 증착하였다. 박막의 포화자화(Ms), 보자력(Hc), 각형비(F)는 sweep time을 1.7분으로 하여 시료 토크마그네토 메터로 측정하였다. 보자력에 영향을 주는 표면조도는 전자주사현미경(SEM)과 표면조도 측정기로써 알아보았다. 실험결과 80wt% Ni 의 퍼멀로이에서 자장 중 열처리(35 Oe,$ 350^{\circ}C$) 후 약 1의 각형비를 나타내었으며 열처리 후 보자력이 떨어짐을 보였다. 자기이방성은 알루미늄을 하지층으로 한 퍼멀로이 박막에서 가장 좋은 값(Ku=-9.60 $\times$106 emu/㎤)을 나타내었다.

고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 제조된 순철박막에 대해 증착속도, 미세구조 및 자기특성에 미치는 스퍼터링조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 증착속도는 기판에 자장을 가할 경우 현저히 증가햐였으며, 이는 자장에 의한 Ar 이온의 증가효과로 고찰되었다. 투입전력이 커질수록 결정립 크기와 격자상수가 증 가하였으며 (110)면이 강하게 발달하였다. Ar 압력의 증가에 따라 격자상수는 작아졌으나 결정립 크기는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 기판자장을 가하면서 60W에서 제조한 순철박막의 자화곤란방향이 가장 낮은 약 30e의 보자력을 나타내었다. 보자력은 5mTorr 이상의 Ar 압력에서 급증하는 경향을 보였으며, 이는 표면 이 거칠어진 효과 및 제2상의 효과로 고찰되었다. 두께에 따른 보자력의 변화는 50-200nm 두께의 범위에 서 Neel의 관계를 잘 만족하였다.
