Magnetite, Fe3O4, is a ferrimagnet with a cubic inverse spinel structure and exhibits a metal-insulator, Verwey, transition at about 120 K.[1] It is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, 100% spin polarization, and high Curie temperature (850 K). Cobalt ferrite is one of the most important members of the ferrite family, which is characterized by its high coercivity, moderate magnetization and very high magnetocrystalline anisotropy. It has been reported that the CoFe2O4/Fe3O4 bilayers represent an unusual exchange-coupled system whose properties are due to the nature of the oxide-oxide super-exchange interactions at the interface [2]. In order to evaluate the effect of interface interactions on magnetic and transport properties of ferrite and cobalt ferrite, the CoFe2O4/Fe3O4 superlattices on MgO (100) substrate have been fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with the wave lengths of 50, and $200{\AA}$, called $25{\AA}/25{\AA}$ and $100{\AA}/100{\AA}$, respectively. Streaky RHEED patterns in sample $25{\AA}/25{\AA}$ indicate a very smooth surface and interface between layers. HR-TEM image show the good crystalline of sample $25{\AA}/25{\AA}$. Interestingly, magnetization curves showed a strong antiferromagnetic order, which was formed at the interfaces.

Multiferroic materials have been widely studied in recent years, because of their abundant physics and potential applications in the sensors, data storage, and spintronics. $BiFeO_3$ is one of the well-known single-phase multiferroic materials with $ABO_3$ structure and G-type antiferromagnetic behavior below the Neel temperature $T_N$ ~ 643 K, but the ferroelectric behavior below the Curie temperature $T_c$~1,103 K. In this study, the $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x=0 and 0.05) bulk ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering with high-purity $Bi_2O_32$, $Fe_3O_4$ and NiO powders. The powders of stoichiometric proportions were mixed, as in the previous investigations, and calcined at 450$^{\circ}C$ for $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ for 24 h. The obtained powders were grinded, and pressed into 5-mm-thick disks of 1/2-inch diameter. The disks were directly put into the oven, which has been heated up to 800$^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 20 min. The sintered disks were taken out from the oven and cooled to room temperature within several min. The phase of samples was checked at room temperature by powder x-ray diffraction using a Rigaku Miniflex diffractometer with Cu K${\alpha}$ radiation. The Raman measurements were carried out by employing a hand-made Raman spectrometer with 514.5-nm-excitation $Ar^+$ laser source under air ambient condition on a focused area of 1-${\mu}m$ diameter. The field-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a superconducting quantum-interference-device magnetometer.

The sodium-iron phosphate maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was synthesized using the ball mill method. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the prepared materials were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. Structural refinement of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was analyzed using the FullProf program. From the XRD patterns, the crystal structure of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was found to be orthorhombic with the space group Pmnb. The lattice parameters of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ are as follows: $a_0=6.866{\AA}$, $b_0=8.988{\AA}$, $c_0=5.047{\AA}$, and $V=311.544{\AA}^3$. Maricite-$NaFePO_4$ has an edge-sharing structure that consists of $FeO_6$ octahedral. Under an applied field of 100 Oe, the temperature dependences of zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) curves were measured from 4.2 to 295 K. $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra were also recorded at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 295 K. We thus confirmed that the $N{\acute{e}}el$ temperature of $NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ ($T_N=14K$) was lower than that of maricite-$NaFePO_4$ ($T_N=15K$).

Recently, multiferroic materials gain much attention due to their fascinating fundamental physical properties. These materials offer wide range of potential applications such as data storage, spintronic devices and sensors, where both electronic and magnetic polarizations can be coupled. Among single-phase multiferroic materials, $BiFeO_3$ is typical because of the room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling in view of long-range magnetic- and ferroelectric-ordering temperatures. However, $BiFeO_3$ is well known to have large leakage current and small spontaneous polarization due to the existence of oxygen vacancies and other defects. Furthermore the magnetic moment of pure $BiFeO_3$ is very weak owing to its antiferromagnetic nature. Recently, various attempts have been performed to improve the multiferroic properties of $BiFeO_3$ through the co-doping at the A and the B sites, by making use of the fact that the intrinsic polarization and magnetization are associated with the lone pair of $Bi^{3+}$ ions at the A sites and the partially-filled 3d orbitals of $Fe^{3+}$ ions at the B sites, respectively. In this study, $BiFeO_3$, $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}FeO_3$, $BiFe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ and $Bi_{0.9}Ho_{0.1}Fe_{0.97}Ni_{0.03}O_3$ bulk compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering. High-purity $Bi_2O_3$, $Ho_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $NiO_2$ powders with the stoichiometric proportions were mixed, and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h to produce the samples. The samples were immediately put into an oven, which was heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 1 h. The crystalline structure of samples was investigated at room temperature by using a Rigaku Miniflex powder diffractometer. The field-dependent and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating-sample magnetometer and superconducting quantum-interference device.

sol-gel 방법을 이용하여 제작된 $^{57}Fe_xCu_{1-x}O$(x = 0.0, 0.02) 분말 시료들에 대한 결정구조 및 초미세 자기적 특성을 X-선 회절(XRD)과 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ 분광법을 이용하여 조사하였다. XRD 측정 결과 단사(monoclinic) 구조의 CuO 단일상 만이 나타났고, 열처리 온도 상승에 따라 격자상수 값들은 소폭 증가하였다. 또한, 열처리 온도 증가에 따라 $Fe^{3+}$ 스핀들의 정렬과 관련되는 산소 vacancy 농도가 증가하며, 이에 따라 상온에서의 강자성 상의 세기가 증가되었다. Jahn-Teller 효과에 의하여 왜곡된 팔면체 자리에 위치하는 $^{57}Fe$ 이온에 대하여 CuO의 Neel 온도보다 매우 낮은 17 K에서 사중극자 상호작용과 초미세 자기장 상호작용이 동시에 작용하는 조건을 적용하여 분석한 결과, 초미세 자기장 방향은 전기장 기울기 텐서의 세 주축에 대하여 ${\theta}=65^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$이고, 비대칭인자 ${\eta}=0.6$으로 나타났다. 그리고 Jahn-Teller 효과에 의한 왜곡으로 비교적 큰 사중극자 분열 ${\Delta}E_Q=-3.67\;mm/s$ 값이 나타났으며, 이성질체 이동 값은 $Fe^{3+}$에 대한 값인 0.32 mm/s으로 얻어졌다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 통하여 얻어진 $^{57}Fe_{0.02}Cu_{0.98}O$ 시료에 대하여 17 K에서 취한 $H_{hf}$ 값은 426.94 kOe로 비교적 작은 값으로 얻어졌는데, 이것은 $H_{hf}$에 관계되는 세가지 항 $H_L$, $H_d$, $H_c$ 사이의 온도 의존성 차이에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다.

A strong antiferromagnetic coupling in Fe/Si multilayered films (MLF) had been recently discovered and much consideration has been given to whether the coupling in the Fe/Si MLF system has the same origin as the metal/metal MLF. Nevertheless, the nature of the interfacial ron silicide is still controversial. On one hand, a metal/ semiconductor structure was suggested with a narrow band-gap semiconducting $\varepsilon$-FeSi spacer that mediates the coupling. However, some features show that the nature of coupling can be well understood in terms of the conventional metal/metal multilayered system. It is well known that both magneto-optical (MO) and optical properties of a metal depend strongly on their electronic structure that is also correlated with the atomic and chemical ordering. In this study, the nature of the interfacial regions is the Fe/Si multilayers has been investigated by the experimental and computer-simulated MO and optical spectroscopies. The Fe/Si MLF were prepared by rf-sputtering onto glass substrates at room temperature with the number of repetition N=50. The thickness of Fe sublayer was fixed at 3.0nm while the Si sublayer thickness was varied from 1.0 to 2.0 nm. The topmost layer of all the Fe/Si MLF is Fe. In order to carry out the computer simulations, the information on the MO and optical parameters of the materials that may constitute a real multilayered structure should be known in advance. For this purpose, we also prepared Fe, Si, FeSi2 and FeSi samples. The structural characterization of Fe/Si MLF was performed by low- and high -angle x-ray diffraction with a Cu-K$\alpha$ radiation and by transmission electron microscopy. A bulk $\varepsilon$-FeSi was also investigated. The MO and optical properties were measured at room temperature in the 1.0-4.7 eV energy range. The theoretical simulations of MO and optical properties for the Fe/Si MLF were performed by solving exactly a multireflection problem using the scattering matrix approach assuming various stoichiometries of a nonmagnetic spacer separating the antiferromagnetically coupled Fe layers. The simulated spectra of a model structure of FeSi2 or $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the spacer turned out to fail in explaining the experimental spectra of the Fe/Si MLF in both intensity and shape. Thus, the decisive disagreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical properties ruled out the hypothesis of FeSi2 and $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the nonmagnetic spacer. By supposing the spontaneous formation of a metallic ζ-FeSi, a reasonable agreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical spectra was obtained.
