We investigated the effect of different spin direction of anti-ferromagnetic layer on the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic layer in Fe-NiO and Fe-CoO bi-layer systems. For Fe-NiO system, we prepared the clean MgO(001) surface half-covered with 20 nm Ag films as a substrate for magnetic layers. Then we grew NiO wedge layers on the substrate, and added 8 monolayer(ML) Fe layers on the wedge layer. We examined magnetic properties of the bi-layer system using the surface magnetic optical Kerr effect(SMOKE) and X-ray magnetic linear dichroism(XMLD). From SMOKE measurement we observed the coercivity enhancement due to the set-up of anti-ferromagnetic order of NiO films in both of the Fe/NiO/MgO(001) and Fe/NiO/Ag/MgO(001) system. The most remarkable results in our observation is that the coercivity enhancement of Fe/NiO/Ag/MgO(001) is much larger than that of Fe/NiO/MgO(001). XMLD experiments confirmed the out-of-plane spin direction of NiO layers in Fe/NiO/MgO(001) and in-plane spin-direction of NiO layers in Fe/NiO/Ag/MgO(001), and we concluded that the origin of large enhancement of coercivity is due to the strong parallel coupling between Fe layers and NiO layers. We also confirmed that this strong parallel coupling maintained across the thin Ag layer inserted between Fe and NiO layers. For Fe-CoO system, we prepared Fe/CoO/Ag(001) and Fe/CoO/MnO(001) systems and observed much larger coercivity enhancement in Fe/CoO/Ag(001).

The Fe/MgO catalysts with different Fe loadings (1, 4, 6, 15 and 30 wt% Fe) were prepared by a wet impregnation with iron nitrate as precursor. All of the catalysts were characterized by BET surface analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The maximum removal capacity of $H_2S$ was obtained with 15 wt% Fe/MgO catalyst which had the highest BET surface area among the measured catalysts. XRD of Fe/MgO catalysts showed that well dispersed Fe particles could be present on Fe/MgO with Fe loadings below 15 wt%. The crystallites of bulk $\alpha$-$Fe_2O_3$ became evident on 30 wt% Fe/MgO, which were confirmed by XRD. TPR profiles showed that the reducibility of Fe/MgO was strongly related to the loaded amounts of Fe on MgO support. Therefore, the highest removal efficiency of $H_2S$ in wet oxidation could be ascribed to a good dispersion and high reducibility of Fe/MgO catalyst. XPS studies indicated that the $H_2S$ oxidation with Fe/MgO could proceed via the redox mechanism ($Fe^{3+}\;{\leftrightarrow}\;Fe^{2+}$).

Activated magnetite ($Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$) was applied to reducing $CO_2$ gas emissions to avoid greenhouse effects. Wet and dry methods were developed as a $CO_2$ removal process. One of the typical dry methods is $CO_2$ decomposition using activated magnetite ($Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$). Generally, $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ is manufactured by reduction of $Fe_3O_4$ by $H_2$ gas. This process has an explosion risk. Therefore, a non-explosive process to make $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was studied using $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $N_2$. $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and $(NH_4)_2C_2O_4{\cdot}H_2O$ were used as starting materials. So, ${\alpha}-FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ was synthesized by precipitation method. During the calcination process, $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ was decomposed to $Fe_3O_4$, CO, and $CO_2$. The specific surface area of the activated magnetite varied with the calcination temperature from 15.43 $m^2/g$ to 9.32 $m^2/g$. The densities of $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $Fe_3O_4$ were 2.28 g/$cm^3$ and 5.2 g/$cm^3$, respectively. Also, the $Fe_3O_4$ was reduced to $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ by CO. From the TGA results in air of the specimen that was calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ for three hours in $N_2$ atmosphere, the ${\delta}$-value of $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was estimated. The ${\delta}$-value of $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was 0.3170 when the sample was heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and 0.6583 when the sample was heat treated at $450^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was oxidized to $Fe_3O_4$ when $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was reacted with $CO_2$ because $CO_2$ is decomposed to C and $O_2$.

본 연구에서는 $Fe/Al_2O_3$ 및 $Fe/TiO_2$계 나노복합분말을 제조하기 위하여 실온 기계적 합금화법(MA)을 적용하였다. $Fe_3O_4-M$(M= AI, Ti)이고 여기서 순금속 Al 및 Ti은 고상반응 시 환원제로서 선택하였다. $Fe_3O_4$-순금속의 각각 25시간 및 75시간 MA 처리한 결과 $Fe/Al_2O_3$ 및 $Fe/TiO_2$ 나노복합분발이 얻어졌으며, 이것은 나노결정립의 ${\alpha}$-Fe 기지에 $Al_2O_3$ 및 $TiO_2$가 각각 미세하게 분산된 나노복합분말임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Fe$_3$O$_4$-AI계에서 보다 짧은 반응 시간에 복합분말이 생성되는 것은 $Fe_3O_4$의 Al에 의한 환원반응 시 큰 반응열에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. MA법으로 제조된 $Fe/TiO_2$ 복합분말의 X선 회절분석으로부터 ${\alpha}$-Fe 결정립 크기는 30 nm 임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 MA 과정 중 시료의 자기 측정으로부터 $Fe_3O_4$의 순금속 Al 및 Ti 에 의한 고상환원반응 과정을 자세히 관찰할 수 있었다.

PECVD법을 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ 기판위에 증착된 $Fe_3O_4$박막의 상전이를 통하여 ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ 박막을 제조하였다. ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ 박막의 상전이는 주로 증착온도와 $Fe_3O_4$의 산화과정에 의해 유도되었다. $Fe_3O_4$ 상은 $200{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 증착온도에서 in-situ로 얻을 수 있었다. 증착온도에 따른 상변화는 없었으며 $250^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 $Fe_3O_4$상이 가장 안정된 상을 나타내었다. ${\gamma}-Fe_3O_3$ 상은 $280{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 $Fe_3O_3$ 상을 산화시켜 유도하였다. $Fe_3O_4$ 상과 ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ 상은 같은 spinel구조를 가지고 있으며 공존상으로서 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, $Al_2O_3$에 산화된 ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ 박막은 다공성의 미세구조를 나타내었다.

$Al_2O_3/Fe$ 복합재료 제조는 반응소결법에 의한 2단계 공정을 통해서 제조되었으며 이 공정은 장비가 간단하고 near-net-shape이 가능한 장점이 있다.$Al_2O_3/Fe$ 복합재료를 제조하기 위해서 1차로 $650^{\circ}C$에서 5시간동안 산화/환원 처리를 행하고 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 2차로 소결처리를 행하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 상분석결과 $\alpha$-Fe 와 $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3/Fe$가 주된 상이었고 소량의 $FeAl_2O_4$가 검출되었다. 이 소량의 $FeAl_2O_4$상은 Fe가 $Al_2O_4$기공을 채우는 것을 방해함으로써 소결동안 미세구조 내에 약간의 기공을 발생시킨다.

We synthesized Fe-doped $TiO_2/{\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core-shell nanowires(NWs) by means of a co-electrospinning method and demonstrated their magnetic properties. To investigate the structural, morphological, chemical, and magnetic properties of the samples, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used, as was a vibrating sample magnetometer. The morphology of the nanostructures obtained after calcination at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited core/shell NWs consisting of $TiO_2$ in the core region and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ in the shell region. In addition, the XPS results confirmed the formation of Fe-doped $TiO_2$ by the doping effect of $Fe^{3+}$ ions into the $TiO_2$ lattice, which can affect the ferromagnetic properties in the core region. For comparison, pure ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ NWs were also fabricated using an electrospinning method. With regard to the magnetic properties, the Fe-doped $TiO_2/{\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core-shell NWs exhibited improved saturation magnetization(Ms) of approximately ~2.96 emu/g, which is approximately 6.1 times larger than that of pure ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ NWs. The performance enhancement can be explained by three main mechanisms: the doping effect of Fe ions into the $TiO_2$ lattice, the size effect of the $Fe_2O3_$ nanoparticles, and the structural effect of the core-shell nanostructures.

Core/shell structured composite metal oxides of Fe2O3/MgO were prepared by thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3 adsorbed on the surface of MgO cores. The morphology of the composites conformed to that of the MgO used as the cores. Broad powder X-ray diffraction peaks shifted toward larger d, large BET surface area (∼350 m2/g), and the size of crystalline domains in nano range (4 nm), all corroborate to the nanocrystallinity of the Fe2O3/MgO composite which was prepared by using nanocrystalline MgO as the core. By use of microcrystalline MgO as the core, microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO composite was prepared, and it had small BET surface area of less than 35 m2/g. AFM measurements on nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO showed a collection of spherical aggregates (∼80 nm dia) with a very rough surface. On the contrary, microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was a collection of plate-like flat crystallites with a smooth surface. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption behavior indicated that microcrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was nonporous, whereas nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO was mesoporous. Bimodal distribution of the pore size became unimodal as the layer of Fe2O3 was applied to nanocrystalline MgO. The macropores in a wide distribution which the nanocrystalline MgO had were absent in the nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO. The decomposition of CCl4 was largily enhanced by the overlayer of Fe2O3 on nanocrystalline MgO making the reaction between nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO and CCl4 be nearly stoichiometric. The reaction products were environmentally benign MgCl2 and CO2. Such an enhancement was not attainable with the microcrystalline samples. Even for the nanocrystalline MgO, the enhancement was not attained, if not with the Fe2O3 layer. Without the layer of Fe2O3, it was observed that the nanocrystalline domain of the MgO transformed into microcrystalline one as the decomposition of CCl4 proceeded on its surface. It appeared that the layer of Fe2O3 on the particles of nanocrystalline Fe2O3/MgO blocked the transformation of the nanocrystalline domain into microcrystalline one. Therefore, in order to attain stoichiometric reaction between CCl4 and Fe2O3/MgO core/shell structured composite metal oxide, the morphology of the core MgO has to be nanocrystalline, and also the nanocrystalline domains has to be sustained until the core was exhausted into MgCl2.

$CuFe_2O_4$와 $Fe_3O_4$의 탄소 침적 및 환원 특성을 $900^{\circ}C$에서 TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM 등의 분석 및 반응 후 가스조성분석을 통하여 연구하였다. XRD 분석결과 환원된 $Fe_3O_4$는 Fe(iron)와 graphite(C) 그리고 $Fe_3C$으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 환원된 $CuFe_2O_4$에서는 graphite나 $Fe_3C$가 나타나지 않았다. SEM을 이용하여 표면 구조를 관찰한 결과 환원된 $Fe_3O_4$의 표면이 탄소로 뒤덮여 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 달리 $CuFe_2O_4$에서는 $CH_4$ 전환율 및 환원속도가 높았고, 환원반응 후 탄소량 추정결과 $Fe_3O_4$에서보다 훨씬 낮게 나타났다. TEM 분석결과 $Fe_3O_4$ 입자로부터 탄소가 판상구조의 형태로 성장한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fabrication of a ferromagnetic composite powder for the magnesium and BaFe12O19 system by mechanical alloying (MA) is investigated at room temperature. Mixtures of Mg and BaFe12O19 powders with a weight ratio of Mg:BaFe12O19 = 4:1, 3:2, 2:3 and 1:4 are used. Optimal MA conditions to obtain a ferromagnetic composite with fine microstructure are investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement. It is found that Mg-BaFe12O19 composite powders in which BaFe12O19 is dispersed in Mg matrix are successfully produced by MA of BaFe12O19 with Mg for 80 min. for all compositions. Magnetization of Mg-BaFe12O19 composite powders gradually increases with increasing the amounts of BaFe12O19, whereas coercive force of MA powders gradually decreases due to the refinement of BaFe12O19 powders with MA time for all compositions. However, it can be seen that the coercivity of Mg-BaFe12O19 MA composite powders with a weight ratio of Mg:BaFe12O19=4:1 and 3:2 for MA 80 min. are still high, with values of 1260 Oe and 1320 Oe compared to that of Mg:BaFe12O19=1:4. This clearly suggests that the refinement of BaFe12O19 powders during MA process for Mg:BaFe12O19=4:1 and 3:2 tends to be suppressed due to ductile Mg powders.
