  • In our previous work, microstructure and magnetic properties of two-phase exchange-coupled $Sm_2Fe_{15}Ga_2C_{x}$/$\alpha$-Fe nanocomposites have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and magnetization measurement. It was found the exchange coupling between the magnetically hard phase $Sm_2Fe_{15}Ga_2C_{x}$ and the magnetically soft one ${\alpha}$-Fe results in an enhancement of the remanence. The sizes of crystallites of both phases are, however much larger than the Block domain-wall width of the magnetically hard phase. This microstructure gives rise to a concave demagnetization curve and consequently reduces the maximum energy Product. In order to improve their magnetic properties, a few Percent of Zr, which may be effective to refine the microstructure through rapid quenching, was introduced into the nanocomposites. The addition of Zr was found to improve the magnetic properties significantly, Under optimum heat-treatment conditions, the remanence, coercivity and maximum energy Product increase from 0.65 T, 0.48 T and 50 kJ/$m^{3}$ for the Zr-free sample to 0.72 T, 0.77 T and 71.6 kJ/$m^{3}$ for the 1 at.% Zr-containing one, respectively, The improvements of magnetic properties are due to the refinement of microstructure by the addition of Zr.

  • We studied the effect of easy magnetization axis orientation with respect to the strip direction by measuring the magnetoresistance(MR), the magneto-optic Kerr effect(MOKE), and real-time domain evolution. The five strips were patterned on a single chip with the easy axis orientation of each strip relative to the longitudinal direction by around $0^{\circ}$, $18^{\circ}$, $36^{\circ}$, $54^{\circ}$ and $72^{\circ}$, respectively. The overall shape of field dependent MR was mostly governed by the anisotropy magnetoresistnace. The relative change of the longitudinal MR was significantly increased with increasing angle between the easy axis and strip direction, whereas, the transverse MR variation rate was decreased with increasing angle. Several MR steps were observed during the magnetization reversal, and the simultaneous measurement of the MOKE and the domain images identified that the MR steps were associated with evolution of the oppositely directed magnetic domain.

  • The NMR spin echo in pure iron was measured as a function of external magnetic field up to 10 kgauss at room temperature. We observed the signal coming from a single domain formed over 7.5 kgauss which has not been detected in previous works. The resonance frequency shift with external field confirmed that the hyperfine field in iron is -330.2 kgauss. From the comparison of the magnetization curve with the domain wall signal and the resonance frequency in external field, we showed that NMR could give the useful qualitative information on the magnetization process. The extent of the internal strain removed by annealing, which can be hardly seen in hysteresis curves, was clearly shown up in the NMR line-width.

  • In this study the mechanisms of magnetization reversal and magnetic interaction effects on activation volumes for Sr-ferrite with different particle sizes are investigated. The activation volumes of C2 sample are larger than those of C3 sample in the range of low magnetic fields. But the fields above the coercivity of sample C2, the activation volumes of both samples are decreased linearly with increasing the applied magnetic field. These phenomena can be explained by the strengths of two critical fields representing the reverse domain nucleation field and the domain wall pinning field as well as the strength of dipolar interaction.

  • We studied the effects of Pt and Cr addition in a new Co-Cr-P-Pt alloy system with the coercivity higher than 2000 Oe even when they were deposited without substrate heating and bias voltage. The coercivity of the films increased from 1000 to 2000 Oe or higher by addition of 12 at.%Pt. The variation of the anisotropy field with increasing Pt content was similar to that of the coercivity. This indicate that the increase of the coercivity might be associated with increase of the anisotropy field with Pt addition. With the addition of Cr, the coercivity of the films increased up to 8 at.%Cr and the coercive squareness of the films decreased. The angular variation of coercivity deviated at a lower angle from domain wall motion mode as the Cr content increases. From these result, it is believed that the grain isolation of the films is enhanced with the addition of Cr.
