The magnetic isotropy property from the magnetoresistance (MR) curve and magnetization (MH) loop for the PtMn based spin valve (SV) multilayer films fabricated with different the bottom structure after post-annealing treatment was investigated. The exchange biased coupling field ($H_{ex}$), coercivity ($H_c$), and MR ratio of Glass/Ta(10 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/Ta(4 nm) SV multilayer film without antiferromagnetic PtMn layer are 0 Oe, 25 Oe, and 3.3 %, respectively. MR curve for the Glass/Ta(10 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/PtMn(6 nm)/Ta(4 nm) SV multilayer film showed $H_{ex}=2Oe$, $H_c=316Oe$, and MR (%) = 4.4 % with one butterfly MR curve having by the effect of antiferromagnetic PtMn layer. MR curve for the dualtype Glass/Ta(10 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/PtMn(6 nm)/CoFe(3 nm)/Cu(2.5 nm)/CoFe(6 nm)/Ta(4 nm) SV multilayer film showed $H_c=37.5Oe$ and 386 Oe, MR = 3.5 % and 6.5 % with two butterfly MR curves and square-like hysteresis MH loops. The anisotropy property in CoFe spin valve-PtMn multilayer is neglected by the effects of a very small value of $H_{ex}$ and a very slightly shape magnetic anisotropy. This result is possible to explain the effect of magnetization configuration spin array of the bottom SV film and the top SV film of PtMn layer.

We have studied the electrical and magnetic transport properties of tunneling device with FePt magnetic quantum dots. The FePt nanoparticles with a diameter of 8~15 nm were embedded in a $SiO_2$ layer through thermal annealing process at temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ gas ambient. The electrical properties of the tunneling device were characterized by current-voltage (I-V) measurements under the perpendicular magnetic fields at various temperatures. The nonlinear I-V curves appeared at 20 K, and then it was explained as a conductance blockade by the electron hopping model and tunneling effect through the quantum dots. It was measured also that the negative magneto-resistance ratio increased about 26.2% as increasing external magnetic field up to 9,000 G without regard for an applied electric voltage.

We investigated the structural md magnetic properties of Fe-Pt nanowires with linear and zigzag structures by using first-principle calculational methods. Structural degrees of freedom are optimized, the bond lengths and bond angles are determined, magnetic moments, spin density, and density of states are calculated. Results show that the zigzag structure is more stable than the linear one, and has a longer bond length and smaller magnetic moments for both Fe and Pt atoms.

Multi-layer film of $MgO/(FePt-B)_{50nm}/ MgO$ was deposited on Si(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The boron chips were uniformly placed oil tile FePt target. The boron content of thin film was found to be about 5, 10, 15, 25 and $33 at\%$ by using a CAMECA SX-51 wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDX). It is observed that X-ray diffraction patterns of FePt-B film by post-annealing exhibited a transformation from disordered fcc structure to ordered $Ll_0$ phase with fct structure from around $400^{\circ}C$. By adding B, annealing temperature for ordering is about $200^{\circ}C$ lower than that of pure FePt. This remarkable decrease of the annealing temperature is closely related to the high diffusivities of Fe and Pt associated with the defects caused by movements of B atoms. The maximum coercivity(Hc) for FePt films was found to be ${\~}$13 kOe after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1hr.

NiO thickness dependences of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in the $NiO/[CoFe/Pt]_5$ multilayers for exchange biasing and $[CoFe/Pt]_4/Pt/[CoFe/Pt]_4$ for interlayer exchange coupling were investigated. Perpendicular magnetization curve was obtained by out-of-plane extraordinary Hall measurement. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has been used for the investigation of magnetic domains on thin films. We confirmed that the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) as a function of NiO thickness at room temperature existed with a period of two monolayers.

The magnetic properties and ordering behavior of Nb-doped FePt alloy films prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering were investigated. It was found that Nb addition retarded the ordering reaction from the disordered face-centered-cubic (fcc) Al phase to the ordered face-centered-tetragonal (fct) L1₀ phase. The tetragonality (c/a ratio) of the ordered fct L1₀ phase increased with the Nb concentration. Nb addition hampered c-axis contraction during ordering, probably because the larger Nb atoms occupy Pt sites. Consequently, the coercivity and magnetocrystalline anisotropic energy of Nb-doped FePt alloy films are lower than those of un-doped FePt film under equivalent annealing conditions.

Fe-Ni-Pt nanocatalysts were loaded on carbon black powders which were synthesized by a spontaneous reduction reaction of iron (II) acetylacetonate, nickel (II) acetylacetonate and platinum (II) acetylacetonate. The morphology and the loading weight of Fe-Ni-Pt nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analyzer. The amount of Fe-Ni-Pt catalyst supported on the carbon black surface was about 6.42-9.28 wt%, and the higher the Fe content and the lower the Pt content, the higher the total amount of the metal catalyst supported. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Analysis (BET) specific surface area of carbon black itself without metal nanoparticles supported was 233.9 m²/g, and when metal nanoparticles were introduced, the specific surface area value was greatly reduced. This is because the metal nanocatalyst particles block the pore entrance of the carbon black, and thereby the catalytic activity of the metal catalysts generated inside the pores is reduced. From the I-V curves, as the content of the Pt nanocatalyst increased, the electrolytic properties of water increased, and the activity of the metal nanocatalyst was in the order of Pt > Ni > Fe.
