IrMn을 반강자성체로 사용하고 순수한 Al을 자연산화시켜서 제작한 Al203를 절연층으로 사용한 spin-valve 형태의 NiFe/Co/Al2O3/Co/IrMn 터널링 접합의 자기저항효과를 조사하였다. IrMn의 두께가 약 100$\AA$이상일 경우 강자성체와의 교환상호작용이 발생하기 때문에 NiFe(183$\AA$)/Co(17$\AA$)/Al-oxide(16$\AA$)IrMn(100$\AA$) 터널링 접합에서 자기저항효과가 관찰되며 TMR비(%)는 $\pm$20 Oe의 인가자장에서 10% 이상의 값을 갖는다. 하부 자성층인 NiFe/Co의 길이방향으로 수행한 자장 중 열처리에 의해 저항은 다소 감소하고 TMR비(%)는 열처리온도에 따라 증가하여 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 23%의 최대값을 갖는다. 자성층의 폭을 변호시켜 접합면적을 달리한 시료의 TMR비(%)는 접합면적이 증가할수록 증가하고 저항은 감소한다.

Membrane disruption by an antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), was investigated by measuring the $^2H$ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectra of 1-palmitoyl-$d_{31}$-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (POPC_$d_{31}$) in the mixture of PG-1 and POPC_$d_{31}$ lipids deposited on thin cover-glass plates. The experimental line shapes of anisotropic $^2H$ SSNMR spectra measured at various peptide-to-lipid (P/L) ratios were simulated reasonably by assuming the mosaic spread of bilayers containing pore structures or the coexistence of the mosaic spread of bilayers and a fast-tumbling isotropic phase. Within a few days of incubation in the hydration chamber, the pores were formed by the peptide in the POPC_$d_{31}$ and POPC_$d_{31}$/cholesterol membranes. However, the formation of the pores was not clear in the POPC_$d_{31}$/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) membrane. Over a hundred days after hydration, a rapidly rotating isotropic phase increased in the POPC_$d_{31}$ and the POPC_$d_{31}$/cholesterol membranes with the higher P/L ratios, but no isotropic phase appeared in the POPC_$d_{31}$/POPG membrane. Cholesterol added in the POPC bilayer acted as a stabilizer of the pore structure and suppressed the formation of a fast-tumbling isotropic phase.

The size and surface effects on the magnetism of a fcc Fe (001) surface was investigated by performing firstprinciples calculations on 3, 5, 7, and 9 monolayers fcc Fe (001) single slabs with two different two-dimensional lattice constants, ${\alpha}=3.44{\AA}$ (System I) and 3.65 ${\AA}$ (System II), using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within a generalized gradient approximation. The surface layers were coupled ferromagnetically to the subsurface layer in both systems. However, the magnetism of the inner layers was quite different from each other. While all the inner layers of System II were ferromagnetically coupled in the same way as the surface layer, the inner layers of System I showed a peculiar magnetism, bilayer antiferromagnetism. The calculated spin magnetic moments per Fe atom were approximately 2.7 and 2.9 ${\mu}_B$ at the surface for Systems I and II, respectively, due to the almost occupied Fe d-state being in the majority spin state and band narrowing. The spin orientations of System I were out-of-plane regardless of its thickness, whereas the orientation of System II changed from out-of-plane to in-plane with increasing thickness.

A series of Fe/CeO$_2$/Fe$_{75}$Co$_{25}$ tunnel junctions (Magnetic Tunnel Junction, MTJ) having CeO$_2$ barrier layers from 30 to 90$\AA$ in thickness were prepared by ion beam sputtering (IBS) method. In order to compare the properties of MTJs, Fe/Al oxide/Fe-Co tunnel junctions were also prepared. Some junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer showed the ferromagnetic tunneling effect and the highest MR ratio at room temperature was 5%. The electric resistance of junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer was higher that that of junctions with an Al oxide barrier. On the other hand, The interface analysis of the Fe/CeO$_2$ bilayer was conducted by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that CeO$_2$ was decomposed to Ce and $O_2$ during sputtering, and Fe was oxidized with these decomposed $O_2$ molecules. The reduction of both electric resistance and MR ratio may be associated with the decomposed Ce in the barrier layer.r.r.

The syndecan family consists of four transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans present in most cell types and each syndecan shares a common structure containing a heparan sulfate modified extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. To get a better understanding of the mechanism and function of syndecan-4 which is one of the syndecan family, it is crucial to investigate its three-dimensional structure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to prepare the peptide because it is membrane-bound protein that transverses the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Here, we optimize the expression, purification, and characterization of transmembrane, cytoplasmic and short extracellular domains of syndecan4 (syndecan-4 eTC). Syndecan-4 eTC was successfully obtained with high purity and yield from the M9 medium. The structural information of syndecan-4 eTC was investigated by MALDI-TOF mass (MS) spectrometry, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It was confirmed that syndecan-4 eTC had an ${\alpha}$-helical multimeric structure like transmembrane domain of syndecan-4 (syndecan-4 TM) in membrane environments.

셀(cell) 단위의 생체분자의 자성특성 검출을 위한 거대자기저항-스핀밸브(giant magnetoresistance-spin valves; GMR-SV) 바이오센서로서 미세 패턴된 모양에 따라 길이 방향과 폭 방향 용이축에 의존하는 자기저항 특성을 연구하였다. 바이오센서(biosensor)로서 사용할 스핀밸브 다층구조는 glass/NiO/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/NiFe 이었다. 자성 다층박막의 일축이방성을 만들기 위해 증착시와 소자 패턴닝 후 진공 열처리를 $200^{\circ}C$에서 300 Oe 정도 외부자기장을 인가하였다. 형상자기이방성 효과를 고려하여 광 리소그래피 과정으로 얻은 미세 활성영역 패턴 사이즈는 $2{\times}5{\mu}m^2$로 정하였다. 2단자법으로 길이방향의 센싱전류와 폭 방향의 고정층의 용이축 방향 각도에 의존하는 자장민감도의 변화는 바이오센서 소자로서 활용에 중요한 요인임을 확인하였다.

비정질 합금인 CoSiB과 비자성체 Pd을 이용하여 CoSiB/Pd 다층박막을 제작하고, 그 자기적인 특성을 분석하였다. $[CoSiB\;t_{CoSiB}/Pd\;1.3nm]_5$ 다층박막을 $t_{CoSiB}$ = 0.1~0.6 nm의 범위로 제작하였고, 동일한 방법으로 $[CoSiB\;0.3nm/Pd\;t_{Pd}]_5$ 다층박막을 $t_{Pd}$ = 1.0~1.6 nm의 범위로 제작하여 두께에 따른 자기이방성과 포화자화도를 측정하였다. CoSiB 두께가 증함에 따라 포화자화도가 증가하는 경향을 보였는데, 특히 CoSiB의 두께가 0.2~0.3 nm 일 때 포화자화도가 급격하게 증가하였다. 보자력은 두께 0.2 nm 에서 최대값을 보이다가 두께가 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. Pd의 두께 변화 실험에서는 포화자화도는 1.1~1.2 nm 구간에서 약간 감소하다가 1.3 nm 이후 점차 증가하였으며, 보자력은 포화자화도에 비해 확연한 규칙성을 보이지 않았으나, 전체적으로 Pd의 두께가 증가함에 따라 값이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
