Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were used as dielectric lossy materials and NiFe particles were used as magnetic lossy materials. Total twelve specimens for the three types such as dielectric, magnetic and mixed radar absorbing materials (RAMs) were fabricated. Their complex permittivities and permeabilities in the range of $2{\sim}18$ GHz were measured using the transmission line technique. The parametric studios for reflection loss characteristics of each specimen to design the single-layered RAMs were performed. The mixed RAMs generally showed the improved absorbing characteristics with thinner matching thickness. One of the mixed RAMs, MD3with the thickness of 2.00 mm had the 10 dB absorbing bandwidth of 4.0 GHz in the X-band ($8.2{\sim}12.4$ GHz). It also showed very broad 10 dB absorbing bandwidth as wide as 6.0 GHz in the Ku-band ($12.0{\sim}18.0$ GHz) with the thickness tuning to 1.49 mm. The experimental results for selected several specimens were in very good agreements with simulation ones in terms of the overall reflection loss characteristics and 10 dB absorbing bandwidth.

Fabrication of nanocomposite material for the $Fe_2O_3-Al$ system by mechanical alloying (MA) has been investigated at room temperature. It is found that ${\alpha}-Fe/Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite powders in which $Al_2O_3$ is dispersed in ${\alpha}-Fe$ matrix are obtained by mechanical alloying of $Fe_2O_3$ with Al for 5 hours. The change in magnetization and coercivity also reflects the details of the solid state reduction process of hematite by pure metal of Al during mechanical alloying. Densification of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine using graphite dies at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$ under 60 MPa. Shrinkage change after SPS of MA'ed sample for 5 hrs was significant above $700^{\circ}C$ and gradually increased with increasing temperature up to $1100^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction result shows that the average grain size of ${\alpha}-Fe$ in ${\alpha}-Fe/Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ is in the range of 180 nm. It can be also seen that the coercivity (Hc) of SPS sample sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ is still high value of 88 Oe, suggesting that the grain growth of magnetic ${\alpha}-Fe$ phase during SPS process tend to be suppressed.

RFe$_2$(R=rare earth) Laves Phase intermetallic compounds are one of the promising materials for magnetostrictive applications, due to large magnetostriction coefficients in the order of 10$^{-3}$ . However, because RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds have large magnetostriction constants as well as large magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants, a large external magnetic field is necessary to reach saturation magnetostriction. Hence researches on giant magnetostriction have been concentrated on producing materials exhibiting a high value of magnetostriction in a low magentic field. The main research trend of the giant magnetostriction to obtain the large value in the low magnetic filed, fortunately as the signs of magnetocrystalline anisotropy constans in RFe$_2$intermetallic compounds alternate with the rare earth metals, has been to substitute the rare earth metal for others and hence to reduce the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. In addition, amorphous RFe$_2$alloys have been researched. In this research, both of the methods which are substitution of the rare earth metal and amorphization in RFe$_2$ intermetallic compounds are simultaneously conducted to obtain the large magnetostriction coefficient in the low external magnetic field. Among them, SmFe$_2$and PrFe$_2$are selected, and amorphized in substrate-free bulk state. Magnetism in amorphous bulk (Sm$_{1-x}$ Pr$_{x}$) Fe$_2$alloys is investigated in the low magnetic field.ld.

We have prepared magnetic thin films of FeSiB by sputtering and examined microstructure and magnetic properties of the annealed films in order to investigate the feasibility of the films to microsensor application. Effects of vacuum annealing on the magnetic properties of $Fe_{84}$$Si_{6}$$B_{10}$ films have been examined as a function of temperature. The heating rate and the holding time were 10 K/min and 1 hour, respectively. Vacuum condition was held during cooling to prevent oxidation of the films. The coercivity did not show any noticeable change (~1500 A/m), although the grain size of the crystalline phase in the annealed films increased gradually up to about 16 nm until 673 K. However, both the grain size and the coercivity increased steeply when the annealing temperature increased over 723 K. Since the saturation magnetization is closely related to the phase evolution, the variation of the saturation magnetization of the annealed films was similar to that of the ribbon materials; the thin films were transformed from amorphous to crystalline with $\alpha$-(Fe,Si) phase by increasing annealing temperature.

We investigated the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of Mn-doped $CuAlO_2$ delafossite ceramics ($CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O_2,\;0\le\;x\;\le0.05$), synthesized by solid-state reaction method in an air atmosphere at a sintering temperature of $1150^{\circ}C$. The solubility limit of Mn ions in delafossite $CuAlO_2$ was found to be as low as about 3 $mol\%$. Positive Hall coefficient and the temperature dependence of conductivity established that non-doped $CuAlO_2$ ceramic is a variable-range hopping p-type semiconductor. It was found that the Mn-doping in $CuAlO_2$ rapidly reduced the hole concentration and conductivity, indicating compensation of free holes. The analysis of the magnetization data provided an evidence that antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction is the dominant mechanism of the exchange coupling between Mn ions in $CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O$ alloy, leading to an almost paramagnetic behavior in this alloy.

상용 뮤-메탈, 방향성 및 무방향성 규소강판을 출발 재료로 하여 두께 0.1 mm의 차폐재 3 종류를 제조하여 전력 케이블 인근자계 차폐 효과를 조사하였다. 3상 전류일 때, 차폐재 위치의 자기장이 100 ${\mu}T$ 정도이면 뮤-메탈이(SF < 0.1) 가장 효과적이었고, 500 ${\mu}T$ 이상이면 규소강판이(SF 0.3~0.4) 더 효과적이었다. 또한, 안쪽에 방향성 규소강판, 바깥쪽에 뮤-메탈을 함께 둘러쌀 경우 500 ${\mu}T$까지도 SF를 0.1 이하로 할 수 있었다. 한편, 단상 전류에서는 고투자율 소재의 적용은 오히려 자기장을 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 자기장 강도 H의 크기에 따라 각 소재의 투자율 우열이 서로 다른 점과 이로 인해 차폐재 내에 유도되는 자기장 벡터와 원래의 자기장 벡터의 상호 상쇄 및 중첩 작용으로 설명할 수 있었다.

In this study, the optimum structure of a magnetic thin film inductor was designed for application of DC-DC converters. The Ni$\sub$81/Fe$\sub$19/ (at%) alloy was selected as a high-frequency($\geq$MHz) magnetic thin film magnetron sputtering system. As-deposited NiFe thin films show similar magnetic properties compared to bulk NiFe alloys, indicating that they have a good film quality. The optimum design of dolenoid-type magnetic thin film inductors was performed utilizing a Maxwell computer simulator (Ansoftt HFSS V7.0 for PC) and parameters obtained from the magnetic properties of magnetic core materials selected. The high-frequency characteristics of the inductance(L) and quality factor(Q) obtained for the designed inductors through simulation agreed well with those obtained by theoretical calculations, confirming that the simulated result is realistic. The optimum structure of high-performance (Q$\geq$60, L = 1${\mu}$H, efficiency $\geq$90%), high-frequency ($\geq$5MHz), and solenoid-type magnetic thin film inductors was designed successfully.
