  • Magnetic and superconducting properties in a series of intermetallic compounds Y$_{1-x}Tb_xNi_2B_2C$ were investigated by measuring the temperature dependent magnetization, M (T), and resitivity, ${\rho}$ (T). As Tb concentration, x, is increased, the superconducting transition temperature, T$_c$, decreases and eventually disappears in the vicinity of x = 0.5 while Neel temperature, T$_N$, appears abruptly near x = 0.4 and increases linearly. Of particular interest is the collision of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism around x = 0.4. The linear decrease of T$_c$ for dilute Tb concentration seems to follow the Abrikosov-Gor'kov behavior, while the decay of T$_c$ below T$_c$ is expected to originate from the effective magnetic field on the conduction electrons. The Ginzburg-Landau theory was phenomenologically constructed to explain this competition of superconducting order parameter and antiferromagnetic order parameter with the multi-band model.

  • Co/Pd multilayered thin films with various ratios of Co sublayers to Pd sublayers(nCo/nPd = 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 5/4) were fabricated at different substrate temperatures($R.\;T.,\;100,\;150,\;200\;^{\circ}C$) with the conventional vacuum evaporation method, and their Hall voltage hysteresis curves were measured. These Hall curves were decomposed on the basis of the superpose of the transverse Hall effect term from the magnetizations of Co and Pd sublayers and the magnetoresistivity term, by the optimal fitting method. In the results, both of the ferromagnetic and anti ferromagnetic states coexisted through whole samples, and the uniaxial or unidirectional easy axis type Hall hysteresis curves occured were dependent upon the effects of the exchange anisotropy between both magnetic states and the domain wall pinning by the antiferromagnet inclusions.

  • We have investigated the finite temperature magnetic ordering in the quasi-two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic system $(C_nH{2n+1}NH_3)_2MnCl_4$ with various chain lengths n. Our results far the transition temperatures and the exchange energies for long chain compounds are in marked contrast to previous expectations.

  • The Oguchi theory of antiferromagnetism has been modified for antiferromagnetically interacting spin-pair systems with anisotropic exchange interaction. The parallel and perpendicular susceptibilities $({\chi}_{\parallel}\;and\;{\chi}_{\perp})$ have been expressed as functions of exchange interactions $(J_z\;and\;{\gamma}=J_x/J_z)$, anisotropic molecular field parameters $({\kappa}\;and\;{\kappa}_x)$, $g_z\;and\;g_x$. In contrast to the previous theories, the parallel susceptibilities are not the same as the perpendicular susceptibilities above Neel temperature $T_N$.

  • The spin density of ${\beta}-MnO_2$ structure was theoretically investigated by $DV-X_{\alpha}$ (the discrete variation $X{\alpha}$) method, which is a sort of the first principle molecular orbital method using Hatre-Fock-Slater approximation. The used cluster model was $[Mn_{14}O_{56}]^{-52}$. The ${\beta}-MnO_2$ is a paramagnetic oxide semiconductor material having the energy band gap of 0.18 eV and an 3 loan-pair electrons in the 3d orbital of an cation. This material exhibits spin-only magnetism and has the magnetic ordering temperature of 94 K. Below this temperature its magnetism appears as antiferromagnetism. The calculations of electronic state showed that if the initial spin condition of input parameters changed, the magnetic state changed from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic. When d orbital of all Mn atoms in cluster had same initial spin state as only up spin, paramagnetic spin density distribution appeared by the calculation. On the other way, d orbital had alternately changed spin state along special direction the resulted spin distribution showed antiferromagnetism.

  • The coexistence of the superconductivity and magnetism in the Ho1-xDyxNi2B2C is studied by using Ginzburg-Landau theory. This material violates the standard do Gennes scaling showing the coexistence and complex interplay of superconducting and magnetic order yielding an anomalous phase diagram. We propose a phenomenological model which includes two magnetic and two superconducting order parameters accounting for the multi-band structure of this material. We describe the magnetic fluctuations and order and demonstrate that they lead to anomalous behavior of the upper critical field. The doping dependence of Tc in Ho1-xDyxNi2B2C showing a reentrance behavior are analyzed yielding a very good agreement with experimental data.

  • The ceramic high transition temperature superconducting materials present many interesting characteristics that will be analysed from two points of view: physical behavior, and chemical aspects. From the first point of view, these materials display an enormous variety of different physical properties. At low doping levels the normal state shows antiferromagnetism and insulating behavior. At intermediate doping levels, an anomalous metallic state appears and, the optimum Tc in the superconducting state is generated. With increasing doping a normal metallic state develops and superconductivity starts to disappear. Many of the physical phenomena that describe the overall behavior when doping levels are changed will be discussed. From the poing of view of the chemical aspects. we well discuss some of the problems involved in the methods of preparation with particular emphasis on defects, crystal structures, critical currrents, and applications in technology.
