We investigate the electrical and thermal transport properties of a sesquicarbide superconductor $La_2C_3$, including electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity. The electrical resistivity exhibits a typical metallic character with a saturation behavior at high temperatures. The thermoelectric power shows a metallic behavior with pronounced phonon-drag effect, comparable with pure metals. The broad peak of the thermal conductivity is observed in the superconducting state, which is rapidly suppressed by magnetic fields. These observations suggest that the electron-phonon scattering is significant in $La_2C_3$, which is relevant with the relatively high-$T_c$ in $La_2C_3$ through strong electron-phonon coupling with low frequency phonon modes.

In motor design, an important factor is the content of silicon in coss material, which can effect the saturation of magnetic circuit and coss loss. While the content of silicon is high, the core loss will be reduced. At the same time, in order to assure the effective flux, the magnetizing current must be increased and then the copper loss becomes higher. Therefore the material with high content of silicon, which is used in the motor, can not always give the high efficiency. In this paper flux linkage of two different material s10 and s60 is compared according to the operating region and then exciting current to obtain same flux is estimated. By comparing core loss and copper loss between two material with the estimated current and flux linkage, this paper presents a criterion in determining the material for higher efficiency

This paper presents the dynamic analysis of a reciprocating actuation system based on moving magnet actuator for gas compression. For the analysis of the linear actuator, an axisymmetric finite element method (FEM) considering the saturation effect of the magnetic material is used, and electrical circuit equation, mechanical dynamic equation and pressure dynamics are coupled. In the FE analysis, we adopt a moving line technique. The pressure dynamics of the gas in the compressor is modeled by using the law of thermodynamics. The analysis results are compared fairly well with experimental ones.

In order to improve the read-out signal waveform, a shielded magnetoresistive (SMR) head has been designed and studied by applying the transmission-line model. The bias and signal field distribution, the voltage output, the harmonic output signal and resistance value of MR element are simulated as functions of bias current and recording displacement. The results show that the SMR head has good linear character with respect to the medium recording signal in high recording frequency of about 2.5 MHz. The amplitude and waveform of reroduction signal have been obviously improved. The saturation effect on the symmetry and amplitude of reproducing output have also been analyzed.

The vector control system of an induction motor is the high performance drive system to achieve the instantaneous torque control. The vector control system is greatly divided into the direct control, and the indirect control that the most widely is used, The indirect vector control needs the rotor time constant, which changes widely according to the temperature, frequency, and current amplitude. The incorrect time constant leads to the saturation of magnetic flux or under-excitation phenomena. As a result, that deteriorate the control performance. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of time constant variation is investigated and its on-line tuning algorithm is proposed. The time constant using the torque angles was calculated and that of the validity of algorithm proposed was proved through the computer simulation and the experiment.

This paper presents an window based user-friendly designed characteristics analysis program of permanent-split capacitor single-phase induction motor. For the analysis, equivalent magnetic circuit and symmetrical coordinate method are used. The saturation effect and iron loss of stator and rotor core are considered. The analysis program is made to GUI type which can be used easily by many elementary designer. The accuracy of analysis is verified by comparison with experimental results.

Magnetization behavior of sputter-deposited Co/Pd multilayers were characterized, and it has been found that even when the multilayers are sputtered at low pressure (10 mTorr), the coercivity of the multilayers can be increased to large extent without noticeable change of saturation magnetization by increasing the deposition pressure of Pd underlayer. It turned out that the surface topology of Pd underlayer gets rough as deposition pressure increases, which consequently affects the magnetization reversal mode of Co/Pd multilayers from domain wall motion to magnetic spin rotation. The enhancement of coercivity is attributed to the domain wall pinning effect which is comected with the surface roughness of Pd underlayer on which Co/Pd multilayers grow.

The waveforms of high voltage and current pulse were measured using laser measuring systems. Existing potential transformer and current transformer have low measuring precision because of resonance phenomena and waveform distortion due to the magnetic saturation. But using laser measurement, it is possible to obtain clear waveforms which have no effect of distortion and harmonic resonances. And electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the measuring of high voltage and current pulse, but the optical measuring systems are not subjet to the influence of EMI. Using laser measuring systems based upon Pockels effect and Faraday effect is not free from any errors yet, but it could replace existing measuring systems by routine experiments and error corrections. And it needs that more research and development of optical crystals and equipments would be taken.

Planar Hall effect of ferromagnetic GaMnAs thin films was investigated for the first time. The films were grown in an optimized growth condition via molecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures. For the optimization of the growth conditions, we used reflection high-energy electron diffraction, electrical conductivity, double crystal x-ray diffraction, and superconducting quantum interference device measurements techniques. We observed that the difference between the longitudinal resistance and the transverse resistance matches the planar Hall resistance. The ratio of the planar Hall resistance at saturation magnetic field to that at zero reached above 500%.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), which consisted of amorphous ferromagnetic NiFeSiB free layers, were investigated. The NiFeSiB layers were used to substitute for the traditionally used CoFe and/or NiFe layers with the emphasis being given to obtaining an understanding of the effect of the amorphous free layer on the switching characteristics of the MTJs. $Ni_{16}Fe_{62}Si_{8}B_{14}$ has a lower saturation magnetization ($M_{s}:\;800\;emu/cm^{3}$) than $Co_{90}Fe_{10}$ and a higher anisotropy constant ($K_{u}:\;2700\;erg/cm^{3}$) than $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$. The $Si/SiO_{2}/Ta$ 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe $7/AlO_{x}/CoFeSiB\;(t)/Ru\;60\;(in\;nanometers)$structure was found to be beneficial for the switching characteristics of the MTJ, leading to a reduction in the coercivity ($H_{c}$) and an increase in the sensitivity resulted from its lower saturation magnetization and higher uniaxial anisotropy. Furthermore, by inserting a very thin CoFe layer at the tunnel barrier/NiFeSiB interface, the TMR ratio and switching squareness were improved more with the increase of NiFeSiB layer thickness up to 11 nm.
