We report a positive exchange bias (HE) in thinmultilayered filmscontaining nano-oxide layer. The positive HE, obtained for our system results from an antiferromagnetic coupling between the ferromagnetic (FM) CoFe and the antiferromagnetic (AFM) CoO layers, which spontaneously form on top of the nano-oxide layer (NOL). The shift in the hysteresis loop along the direction of thecooling field and the change in the sign of exchange bias are evidence of antiferromagnetic interfacial exchange coupling between the CoO and CoFe layers. Our calculation indicates that uncompensated oxygen moments in the NOL results in antiferromagnetic interfacial exchange coupling between the CoO and CoFe layers. One of the interesting features observed with our system is that it displays the positive HE even above the bulk Neel temperature (TN) of CoO. Although the positive HEsystem has a different AFM/FM interfacial spin structure compare to that of the negative HE one, the results of the angular dependence measurements show that the magnetization reversal mechanism can be considered within the framework of the coherent rotation model.

대표적인 연자성재료 중의 하나로 알려진 Ni-Fe 합금박막을 고주파 마그네트론 스파터링 장치를 사용하여 제작했다. 박막두께가 Ni-Fe 합금박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위하여, 스파터링 시간을 변화시켜 주면서 제작된 시료에 대해 강자성 공명 실험에서 얻은 미분형 공명흡 수곡선을 분석하여, 유효자화 $M_{eff}$, 교환상수(exchange stiffness constant) A, 그리고 분 광학적 분리인자 g를 구했다. 모든 시료에 대해 유효자화는 거의 일정한 값을 보였으나, 교환상수 는 시료의 두께가 증가함에 따라 비교적 큰 증가폭을 나타냈다. 분광학적 분리인자는 시료의 두께 가 증가함에 따라 약간 증가하는 경향성을 보였는데, 이는 스핀자기모멘트에 대한 궤도자기모멘트 의 상대적인 기여가 증가했기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Thin CrAlMgSiN films, whose composition were 30.6Cr-11.1Al-7.3Mg-1.2Si-49.8N (at.%), were deposited on steel substrates in a cathodic arc plasma deposition system. They consisted of alternating crystalline Cr-N and AlMgSiN nanolayers. After oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$ for 200 h in air, a thin oxide layer formed by outward diffusion of Cr, Mg, Al, Fe, and N, and inward diffusion of O ions. Silicon ions were relatively immobile at $800^{\circ}C$. After oxidation at $900^{\circ}C$ for 10 h in air, a thin $Cr_2O_3$ layer containing dissolved ions of Al, Mg, Si, and Fe formed. Silicon ions became mobile at $900^{\circ}C$. After oxidation at $900^{\circ}C$ for 50 h in air, a thin $SiO_2-rich$ layer formed underneath the thin $Cr_2O_3$ layer. The film displayed good oxidation resistance. The main factor that decreased the oxidation resistance of the film was the outward diffusion and subsequent oxidation of Fe at the sample surface, particularly along the coated sample edge.

This paper describes the fabrication of AlN thin films containing iron and iron nitride particles, and the magnetic and electrical properties of such films. Fe-N-Al alloy films were deposited in Ar and $N_2$ mixtures at ambient temperature using Fe/Al composite targets in a two-facing-target DC sputtering system. X-ray diffraction results showed that the Fe-N-Al films were amorphous, and after annealing for 5 h both AlN and bcc-Fe/bct-$FeN_x$ phases appeared. Structure changes in the $FeN_x$ phases were explained in terms of occupied nitrogen atoms. Electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that iron and iron nitride particles were randomly dispersed in annealed AlN films. The grain size of magnetic particles ranged from 5 to 20 nm in diameter depending on annealing conditions. The saturation magnetization as a function of the annealing time for the $Fe_{55}N_{20}Al_{25}$ films when annealed at 573, 773 and 873 K. At these temperatures, the amount of iron/iron nitride particles increased with increasing annealing time. An increase in the saturation magnetization is explained qualitatively in terms of the amount of such magnetic particles in the film. The resistivity increased monotonously with decreasing Fe content, being consistent with randomly dispersed iron/iron nitride particles in the AlN film. The coercive force was evaluated to be larger than $6.4{\times}10^3Am^{-1}$ (80 Oe). This large value is ascribed to a residual stress restrained in the ferromagnetic particles, which is considered to be related to the present preparation process.

FeMn에 의해 교환 바이어스된 Synthetic antiferromagnet(CoFe/Ru/CoFe)을 가진 Top Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/FeMm/Ta 스핀밸브 구조를 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 제조하여 유효 교환이방성 및 자기저항 특성을 조사하였다. FeMn 반강자성층의 두께가 100$\AA$정도일 때 자기저항비와 유효 교환바이어스 자장이 최대값을 나타내었으며, 100 $\AA$ 이상 두께 증가시 FeMn층을 통한 션팅 전류에 의한 자기저항 효율의 저하로 자기저항이 점점 감소하였다. 자유층의 두께가 40 $\AA$일 때 7.5% 이상의 최대 자기저항비가 얻어졌으며, 자유층의 두께 감소에 따라 자기저항비는 감소하였다. Synthetic antiferrormagnet 구조에서 Cu층에 인접한 CoFe(Pl)층의 두께를 증가시키고 FeMn층에 인접한 CoFe(P2)층의 두께를 감소시켜 그 두께 차이가 증가할수록 자기저항비는 증가하였고 반면 유효 교환 바이어스 자장은 감소하였다. 자기저항특성의 증가는 Pl층 두께 증가로 인한 스핀의존산란 효율의 증가로 이해되었으며, 유효 교환 바이어스 자장의 감소는 최소에너지 모델의 이론적 계산을 통해 감소경향을 검증할 수 있었다.

Thermoelectric Bi₂Te₃ thin films were synthesized by a co-sputtering method at 300℃. A Fe dopant was considered to enhance the thermoelectric properties of the system. The Seebeck coefficient of the Fe-doped films increased whereas the electrical conductivity decreased. As a result, the power factor of the system increased owing to the enhanced Seebeck coefficient. Grain growth inhibition was detected in the Fe-doped system, which produced more grain boundaries in the Fe-doped films than in the undoped system. The increased grain boundary scattering was deemed to be effective for a reduced thermal conductivity. This is advantageous for the preparation of high-performance thermoelectric films.

Synthetic antiferromagnet CoFe/Ru/CoFe/FeMn을 사용하고 자유층으로 NiFe/CoFe 이중 층을 사용한 top스핀밸브 구조를 dc magnetron 방식으로 제조하여, 자유층과 구속층의 두께변화에 따른 자기적 특성과 interlayer coupling field티 변화를 조사하였다 Si/Ta(50 $\AA$)/NiFe(x $\AA$)/CoFe(y $\AA$)/Cu(26 $\AA$)/CoFe(30 $\AA$)/Ri(7 $\AA$)/CoFe(15 $\AA$)/FeMn(100 $\AA$)/Ta(50 $\AA$) top synthetic 스핀밸브 시료에서 자유층의 두께 감소에 따른 interlayer coupling field를 조사한 결과 interlayer coupling field가 증가하였으며, 이것은 Neel 모델에 의한 정자기 교환결합에 기인하는 것으로 설명하였다. Top synthetic 스핀 밸브에서 Cu에 인접한 자성층(Pl)과 FeMn에 인접한 자성층(P2) 두께 차이에 따른 interlayer coupling field 의 의존성을 조사한 결과 $t_{P1}$> $t^{P2}$ 일 경우 interlayer coupling field(층간 교환 결합력 세기)는 기존 스핀 밸브에서 적용한 Kools이 제시한 modified Nel 모델에 잘 부합되나, $t_{P1}$ $\leq$ $t_{P2}$ 인 경우 모델과 부합되지 않음으로 새로운 모델이 필요함을 확인하였다 Cu 두께에 변화에 따른 층간 교환 결합력 세기 의존성을 조사한 결과 Cu 두께를 32 $\AA$으로 증가시 층간 교환결합력 세기는 10 Oe 이하로 감소하였다.감소하였다.다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of annealing conditions on the ferromagnetic resonance(FMR) of yttrium iron garnet ($Y_3Fe_5O_{12}$, YIG) thin film prepared on gadolinium gallium garnet ($Gd_3Ga_5O_{12}$, GGG) substrate. The YIG thin films were grown by rf magnetron sputtering at room temperature and were annealed at various temperatures from 700 to $1000^{\circ}C$. FMR characteristics of the YIG thin films were investigated with a coplanar waveguide FMR measurement system in a frequency range from 5 to 20 GHz. X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to characterize the phase formation, crystal structure and composition of the YIG thin films. Field dependent magnetization curves at room temperature were obtained by using a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). The FMR measurements revealed that the resonance magnetic field was highly dependent on the annealing condition: the lowest FMR linewidth can be observed for the $800^{\circ}C$ annealed sample, which agrees with the VSM results. We also found that the Fe and O composition changes during the annealing process play important roles in the observed magnetic properties.

Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin film was deposited by using Facing Target Sputtering (FTS) system. This work examined the properties of AZO thin film as a function of the substrate temperature. The sputtering targets were 4 inch diameter disks of AZO (ZnO : $Al_2O_3$ = 98 : 2 wt.% ). The properties of electrical, structural and optical were investigated by 4-point probe, Hall effect measurement, x-ray diffractometer (XRD), field-emitting scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV/VIS spectrometer. The lowest resistivity of films was $5.67{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}.cm$ and the average optical transmittance of the films was above 85% in the visible range.
