[ $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ ]permanent magnetic powders ($_iH_c$ = 9.2 kOe, $B_r$ = 12.2 kG) were produced by HDDR process. Their coercivity was enhanced to 12.6 kOe through the grain boundary diffusion process with dysprosium hydride ($DyH_x$). $DyH_x$ diffusion process was optimized through rotating diffusion process, resulting in distinct phases rich in Nd and Dy observable by field emission scanning microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanism of coercivity enhancement that resulted in restrain the coupling effect between $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains is also discussed.

Co-22%Cr alloy films are promising for high-density perpendicular magnetic recording media with their perpendicular anisotropy and large coercivity of 3000 Oe. We observed that a self organized nano structure(SONS) of fine ferromagnetic Co-enriched phase and paramagnetic Cr-enriched phase appears inside the grain of Co-Cr magnetic alloy thin films at the elevated substrate temperature after do-sputtering. We prepared 1000 $\AA$-thick Co-22%Cr films on 2000 $\AA$- SiO$_2$/Si(100) substrates at the deposition rate of 100 $\AA$/min with substrate temperatures of 3$0^{\circ}C$, 10$0^{\circ}C$, 15$0^{\circ}C$, 20$0^{\circ}C$, 30$0^{\circ}C$, and 40$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. We employed a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) to measure the B-H loops showing the saturation magnetifation, coercivity, remanence in in- plane and out- of- plane modes. In- plane coercivity, perpendicular coercivity, and perpendicular remanence increased as substrate temperature increased, how-ever they decreased after 30$0^{\circ}C$ slowly. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) characterization revealed that the self organized nano structure (SONS) appears at the elevated substrate temperature, which forms fine Co-enriched phases inside a grain, then it eventually affect the perpendicular magnetic property. Our results imply that we may tune the perpendicular magnetic properties with SONS obtained at appropriate substrate temperature.

Magneto-optic Kerr Effect(MOKE), AFM and magnetoresistance measurements have been carried out on as-deposited and annealed Magnetic Tunnel Junctions(MTJs) with junction sizes 180, 250, 320 and 380 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in order to investigate the correlation among interlayer exchange coupling, surface roughness and junction size. Relatively irregular variations of coercivity $H_{c}$ (∼17.5 Oe) and interlayer exchange coupling $H_{E}$ (∼17.5 Oe) are observed over the junction in as-deposited sample prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. After annealing at $200^{\circ}C$, $H_{c}$ decreases to 15 Oe, while $H_{ E}$ increases to 20 Oe with smooth local variation. $H_{E}$ shows very good correlation with surface roughness across the junction in agreement with Neel's orange peel coupling. The increasing slope per $\mu\textrm{m}$ of normalized $H_{c}$ and $H_{E}$ are same near junction edge along free-layer direction irrespective of junction size, giving relatively uniform $H_{c}$ and $H_{ E}$ for wider junction size. Thickness profiles of the junctions measured with $\alpha$-step show increasingly flat top surface for larger junctions, indicating better uniformity for large. junctions in agreement with the normalized$ H_{c}$ and H$/_{E}$ curves. TMR ratios also increase with increasing junction size, indicating improvement for larger uniform junctions.

치환형 Ba-ferrite의 수소환원 거동은 순수한 Ba-ferrite와는 다르게 나타났다. 환원온도 250 .deg. C에서 520 .deg. C의 범위에서 치환형 Ba-ferrite의 보자력은 증가하다가 다시 감소하는 반면에 순수한 Ba-ferrite는 계속 감소 하였다. 치환형 Ba-ferrite의 환원과정은 환원되는 정도에 따라 3단계로 나뉘어진다. 1과 2단계에서 Ba-ferrite의 구조는 그대로 유지를 하지만 자기적 성질은 다르게 나타났다. 1단계에서 보자력은 증가하고 산화처리시 가역적이지만, 2단계에서는 보자력이 더욱 증가하고 산화처리시 비가역적이었다. 그러나 3단계에서는 Ba-ferrite 구조 자체가 붕괴되어 .alpha. -Fe와 소량의 BaFe $O_{3-x}$의 생성으로 $H_{c}$는 크게 감소하고 포화자화값은 130 emu/g으로 크게 증가하였다. 이 때 보자력 분포도는 크게 넓어지며 입자크기도 감소하였다. 또한 치환이온들은 환원과정에서 Ba-ferrite 구조의 붕괴를 억제하였으며, 2a + 4 $f_{IV}$ , 2b 및 12k 자리의 치환이온들이 4 $f_{VI}$ 와 12k'의 자리로 이동함을 확인하였다. 따라서 1과 2단계에서의 보자력 증가원인은 치환이온의 자리이동에 따른 고보자력 상의 생성 때문이었다.

속박층 (pinning layer) IrMn를 사용한 Ta/NiFe/IrMn/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/NiFe/Ta 구조의 스핀밸브 박막 (SV; spin valve)을 산화층이 코팅된 Si(111) 기판에 dc 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 상온에서 제작하였다. 이 SV에 대하여 교환결합자기장 (H$_{ex}$; exchange coupling field), 자기저항 (MR; magnetoresistance)비 및 보자력 (H$_{c}$ coercivity)의 열처리 순환수와 온도 의존성을 조사하였다. 증착조건과 후열처리 조건을 최적화 함으로써 MR비 3.6%, 피속박층의 H$_{ex}$ 11800 Oe을 얻었다. H$_{ex}$는 열처리 순환횟수가 2 이후에 일정한 값을 유지하여 열적으로 안정성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. H$_{ex}$는 24$0^{\circ}C$ 까지는 600 Oe를 유지하다가 점점 감소하여 27$0^{\circ}C$에 0이 되었다.

Influence of small additions ($\leq$2.0 at.%) of Al, Ti, Co, and Ni on the microstructural development and the magnetic properties of melt-spun Fe-Bd-C alloys was investigated. Addition of these elements tended to stabilize the crystallization of as-spun ribbons. Especially, Al and Ti preferred to stabilize$ Fe_{17}Nd_2C_x.$ The average grain size of Fe17Nd2Cx (0.1~0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), obtained by a proper annealing, in the ribbon treated with 0.5 at.% additive was much smaller than that of additive-free ribbons, which would be the major source of large increase in coercivity. Among the additives, Ni was very effective to increase the coercivity whereas Co had beneficial effect on $T_c.$ By adding 0.5 at.% Ni, intrinsic coercivities of more than 1.4 T, 40~50% higher than that (~1.0T) of additive-free ribbons, can be obtained after annealing at 750~80$0^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 DC magnetron sputtering 장비를 이용하여, GdFe, Co, CoCr 박막을 제작함에 있어서 sputtering 조건에 관계되는 Ar 압력, 투입전력, 기판의 종류 등의 요소가 박막의 특성, 특히 보자력과 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. GdFe의 경우 성막속도가 증가함에 따라 Gd의 atomic%가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었으며, Ar압력이 증가함에 따라 성막속도는 감소하였고, 투입전력이 증가함에 따라 성막속도는 거의 선형적으로 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 투입전력이 증가함에 따라 박막의 보자력도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Co 박막에 대해서는 투입전력과 Ar 압력에 관한 성막속도와 미세구조에 관하여 관찰하였다. 이로써 투입전력이 증가하면 성막속도가 증가하며 결정립의 크기가 감소함을 알 수 있었고, Ar 압력이 증가하면 성막속도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. CoCr의 박막에서는 substrate 종류에 따라 보자력 및 미세구조에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구를 행하였으며, substrate의 종류가 미세구조와 보자력에 상당한 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, nanocrystalline ferrite powders with the composition $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ were prepared by the autocombustion method. The obtained powders were sintered at $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$ and $1,000^{\circ}C$ for 4 h in air atmosphere. The as-prepared and the sintered powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and magnetization studies. An increase in the crystallite size and a slight decrease in the lattice constant with sintering temperature were observed, whereas microstrain was observed to be negative for all the samples. Two significant absorption bands in the wave number range of the $400cm^{-1}$ to $600cm^{-1}$ have been observed in the FT-IR spectra for all samples which is the distinctive feature of the spinel ferrites. The force constants were found to vary with sintering temperature, suggesting a cation redistribution and modification in the unit cell of the spinel. The M-H loops indicate smaller coercivity, which is the typical nature of the soft ferrites. The observed variation in the saturation magnetization and coercivity with sintering temperature has been attributed to the role of surface, inhomogeneous cation distribution, and increase in the crystallite size.
