Purpose : The objective of this study was to investigate effects of different smoothing kernel sizes on brain tissue-masked susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) obtained from normal elderly subjects using voxel-based analyses. Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy human volunteers (mean $age{\pm}SD$ = $67.8{\pm}6.09$ years, 14 females and 6 males) were studied after informed consent. A fully first-order flow-compensated three-dimensional (3D) gradient-echo sequence ran to obtain axial magnitude and phase images to generate SWI data. In addition, sagittal 3D T1-weighted images were acquired with the magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition of gradient-echo sequence for brain tissue segmentation and imaging registration. Both paramagnetically (PSWI) and diamagnetically (NSWI) phase-masked SWI data were obtained with masking out non-brain tissues. Finally, both tissue-masked PSWI and NSWI data were smoothed using different smoothing kernel sizes that were isotropic 0, 2, 4, and 8 mm Gaussian kernels. The voxel-based comparisons were performed using a paired t-test between PSWI and NSWI for each smoothing kernel size. Results: The significance of comparisons increased with increasing smoothing kernel sizes. Signals from NSWI were greater than those from PSWI. The smoothing kernel size of four was optimal to use voxel-based comparisons. The bilaterally different areas were found on multiple brain regions. Conclusion: The paramagnetic (positive) phase mask led to reduce signals from high susceptibility areas. To minimize partial volume effects and contributions of large vessels, the voxel-based analysis on SWI with masked non-brain components should be utilized.

We have investigated the dependence of the magnetization, anisotropy, coercivity, and Kerr rotation on the Fe concentration in FeCo/Pd multilayer thin films, where the Fe concentration in the FeCo sublayer varied between 0 and 100% with maintaining the same sublayer thickness of $2.5\;{\AA}$ FeCo and $10.5\;{\AA}$A Pd. The maximum saturation magnetization was observed at the Fe concentration of about 48at.% in the FeCo sublayer. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and coercivity of the FeCo/Pd multilayer thin film decreased monotonically with increasing the Fe con-centration. The Kerr rotation angle also decreased with increasing the Fe concentration and the amount of vari-ation was remarkably changed with decreasing the light wavelength.

Microstructural and electromagnetic properties of YIG ferrites, (Y, Ca)-(Fe, V, In, Al)-O for Isolator/Circulator were investigated with the sintering temperature. YIG ferrites of $Y_{2.1}Ca_{0.9}Fe_{4.4}V_{0.5}In_{0.05}Al_{0.05}O_{12}$ were fabricated by sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$, $1330^{\circ}C$, $1350^{\circ}C$, $1370^{\circ}C$. Crystallographic and microstructural properties were measured using XRD and SEM. Saturation magnetization$(4{\pi}M_s)$ were measured using VSM, and FMR(Ferromagnetic Resonance) experiment was conducted to measure ferromagnetic resonance line width$({\Delta}H)$. Microwave characteristics of YIG ferrites were measured using a Network Analyzer. The YIG ferrite of $Y_{2.1}Ca_{0.9}Fe_{4.4}V_{0.5}In_{0.05}Al_{0.05}O_{12}$, sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$, showed higher density, saturation magnetization and lower ferromagnetic resonance line width than those sintered at any other temperature.

The temperature-dependent saturation magnetization curves of amorphous $Fe_{80-x}Co_xB_{20}$ (8 ${\le}$ x ${\le}$ 40, the step of x is 8) alloys were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer from 77 K up to 1000 K. Curie temperature and the Bloch coefficient were estimated from the saturation magnetization curves. The low temperature dependence of magnetization is in good agreement with Bloch relation, $M_s(T)$=$M_s(O)$ (1-$BT^{3/2}$ - ${\cdots}.$). The spin wave stiffness constant, tne range of the exchange interaction, and the probable atomic spin were calculated from the saturation magnetization values.

Magnetization loss of high temperature superconductoring BSCCO tape and YBCO coated conductor(YBCOCC) is most important issue in the development of superconducting power devices. In this paper, the measured results of magnetization losses under various angles of external magnetic field in BSCCO tape stacked conductors and YBCO CC stacked conductors are presented and compared with each other. Also, we present the compared results of magnetization losses measured at arbitrary reaction magnetic fields and analyzed with perpendicular magnetic field components of those. The results show that magnetization losses of YBCO CC single and stacked conductors agree well with the analyzed value by it's perpendicular magnetic field component, but BSCCO single and stacked conductors are not.

The temperature dependence of DC magnetic susceptibilities of three austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni stainless alloys were measured in the temperature range of 4.2 and 300 K. Two alloys support a general magnetic description of austen-itic stsinless steels in terms of a two-magnetic-phase (spin glass + superparamagnetic cluster) model and one alloy shows magnetic double transition phenomena. Also this study shows that incressing the Ni/Cr ratio in Fe-Cr-Ni alloys causes a increase of the DC susceptibility peak value and a decrease of the magnetic transition temperature.

A new method to calculate the spin reorientation angle of cone anisotropy from magnetization curves of magnetically aligned powder is suggested. The spin reorientation angle of polycrystalline $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ determined by this method coincided with the results obtained from torque magnetometry or magnetization measurements on single crystal. The underestimation of about 9% is expected if the basal plane anisotropy is neglected in determination of the spin reorientation angle of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ at 4.2 K.

초전도선재를 사용한 전력기기에서 발생하는 교류손실은 전력기기의 효율을 저하시키기 때문에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 교류손실을 저감시키기 위해 분할형 초전도 연속전위도체(Continuously Transposed Coated Conductor, CTCC)를 제작하였으며, 제작된 분할형 CTCC에 교번자장을 인가하였을 때 발생하는 교류손실을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 분할된 필라멘트 수와 선재의 적층수가 증가함에 따라 교류손실 값의 변화 패턴을 확인하였다. 또한, 분할형 CTCC에 가해지는 외부교번 자장의 인가 각도에 따른 자화손실을 측정하여 그 경향을 확인하였다.
