In this paper, the Si vertical Hall devices ale fabricated by using standard bipolar process and investigated in terms of the opeating and noise properties. The sensitivity of device with P+ isolation dam(type B) has been increased up to about 1.2 times compared to that device without the dam also noise has been increased. With the condition of f=I[KHz], band-width 1[Hz], the resolution of magnetic-field detection were about $0.97[{\mu}T]$/ type B and $1.25[{\mu}T]$/ type A, respectively, thus we must consider correlation the low noise or good resolution and high sensitivity in the situation for device geometry design or even for the materials.

Magnetohydrodynamic wave phenomena have been investigated in the deep plasmasphere by the electric field measurements in the EXOS-D(Akebono) satellite. EXOS-D has highly eccentric orbits(the perigee: 274km, the apogee: 10,500km), which allows relatively long observational time interval near the apogee region compared to other satellites which pass by the same region with less eccentric orbits. Case studies are performed on one month data of October in 1989 where the apogee is located near the equator and the magnetic local time is about 9:00-12:00 a.m. in the dayside plasmasphere. The observational region ranges from L=2 to L=3 and the magnetic latitude is restricted to less than 30 degrees. The power spectrum is examined for each 128 point series of 8-sec averaged data through a FFT, which covers f = 0~62.3 mHz frequency bands. The results are well consistent with field line resonances (FLRs) and cavity modes in the plasmasphere.

The accuracy of MR sensor-based electronic compass is influenced by the temperature drift and DC offset of the MR sensor and the OP-amp, the magnetic distortion of nearby magnetic materials, and the compass tilt We design the 3-axis MR sensor and accelerometers-based electronic compass which is compensated by the set/reset pulse switching method on the temperature drift and DC offset, by the execution of hard-iron calibration routine on the magnetic distortion, and by the execution of the Euler rotational equation on the compass tilt. We qualitatively analyze the measured azimuth error on the execution of sensitivity calibration routine which is the normalization process on the different sensitivity of each MR sensor and the different gain of each op-amps. This compensation and analytic result make us design the one degree accuracy electronic compass.

We have attempted to give some physical into the factors that control the response of subsurface target to plane wave excitation at VLF (very low frequency) frequencies. Although the VLF technique has some serious disadvantages, such as a lack of penetration depth and limited frequencies, its advantages are also extremely important to have made it by far the most popular electromagnetic technique in current use. In the magnetic-field measurement mode these lightweight, relatively low-priced tools allow us to survey large areas rapidly and inexpensively, to locate and roughly define subsurface electrical conductors. When used in the electric-field mode the technique is, in simple environments, capable of quantitative interpretation and once again the speed and relative cheapness of these devices makes them a natural 'first electromagnetic tool ' to use in reconnaissance mapping.

We studied the effect of easy magnetization axis orientation with respect to the strip direction by measuring the magnetoresistance(MR), the magneto-optic Kerr effect(MOKE), and real-time domain evolution. The five strips were patterned on a single chip with the easy axis orientation of each strip relative to the longitudinal direction by around $0^{\circ}$, $18^{\circ}$, $36^{\circ}$, $54^{\circ}$ and $72^{\circ}$, respectively. The overall shape of field dependent MR was mostly governed by the anisotropy magnetoresistnace. The relative change of the longitudinal MR was significantly increased with increasing angle between the easy axis and strip direction, whereas, the transverse MR variation rate was decreased with increasing angle. Several MR steps were observed during the magnetization reversal, and the simultaneous measurement of the MOKE and the domain images identified that the MR steps were associated with evolution of the oppositely directed magnetic domain.

흑점은 태양 표면에 검은 구멍처럼 보이는 것으로 흑점이 나타나면 태양활동이 활발함을 의미한다. 이러한 태양활동은 플레어나 홍염 등의 형태로 표출되어 지구의 자기장을 변동시킴으로써 전력, 통신 시스템의 장애를 유발하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 흑점 데이터를 예측함으로써 사전에 대비할 수 있도록 할 필요가 있다. 흑점 시계열 데이터의 예측에 사용된 시스템은 병렬구조를 갖는 퍼지시스템(PSFS)으로 각 퍼지시스템의 규칙은 주어진 입출력 데이터를 클러스터링하여 생성하였다. 특히, 흑점 시계열 데이터와 같이 주기성향을 갖는 테이터의 경우에도 적용가능하도륵 유연한 구조를 갖는 개선된 PSFS를 제안하여 그 성능을 검증하였다.

태양풍 동압력은 지구 자기장에 부딪히면서 많은 영향을 준다. 여기서 우리는 태양풍 동압력이 증가하는 경우 밤 지역 극관의 위도 상 위치 변화에 대해 관심이 있다. 동압력 증가 이전과 이후의 극관의위치를결정하기위해 DMSP(Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) 위성이 관측한 하강 입자 자료를 사용하였고 이로부터 산출된 b5e parameter 값을 통해 극관의 위치를 결정하였다. 특히 IMF의 각 성분 별 방향과 크기에 대한 조건이 극관의 위치에 영향을 미친다는 점을 고려하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 통해 동압력이 증가하는 경우 극관의 위치가 고위도로 올라 간다는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 극관의 크기가 수축한다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 IMF Bz가 북쪽 방향(northward IMF Bz)인 경우와 남쪽 방향(southward IMF Bz)인 경우에 따라 극관이 이동하는 정도에 약간의 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그런데 통계적으로 볼 때 극관의 위도상 위치가 상당히 분산되어 있음을 알게 되었다. 즉, 가능한 극관의 위도 분포가 매우 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 있음을 말한다. 이러한 분산 현상은 극관의 위치를 결정하는데 여러 이유가 복합적으로 작용 할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling algorithm in homogeneous half-space was developed using the extended Born approximation to an electric field integral equation. To examine the performance of the extended Born approximation algorithm, the results were compared with those of the full integral equation results. For a crosshole source-receiver configuration, the agreement between the integral equation and the extended Born approximation was remarkable when the source frequency is lower than 20 kHz and conductivity contrast lower than 1:10. Beyond this conductivity contrast, the simulated results by the extended Born approximation exhibit a difference with respect to those by the integral equation. Therefore, the limit of accuracy lies below contrast of 1:10 in the extended Born approximation. Since for the source frequency range from 20 kHz to 100 kHz, however, the difference is relatively small, the extended Born approximation could be used for a reasonable 3-D EM modeling algorithm.

The system of magnetic exploration with a drone flight was constructed and applied to the iron mine site. The magnetic probe system installed on the drone used a sensor as Bartington's fluxgate type magnetometer, Mag639 and the A/D converter to collect magnetic intensity values on the tablet PC. The drone flight control module is a highly expandable Pixhawk with allowing 15 minutes of flight by loading 3kg. Experiments on the magnetic field interference range were performed to remove the erroneous effect from the drone with applying RTK GPS to obtain the magnetic intensity value at the accurate position. The accurate location information enabled to obtain the gradient measurement of magnetic field by measuring twice at different altitudes. Also, by using the terrain information, we could eliminate the terrain effect by setting the flight path to fly along the terrain. These results are in line with the field experiments using the nuclear proton magnetometer G-858 of Geometrics Co., Ltd, which adds to the reliability of the drone based aeromagnetic survey system we constructed.
