We have studied magnetic and transport properties of NbN/FeN/Cu/FeN/FeMn spin-valve structure. In-plane magnetic moment exhibited typical hysteresis loops of spin valves in the normal state of NbN film at 20 K. On the other hand, the magnetic hysteresis loop in the superconducting state exhibited more complex behavior in which exchange bias provided by antiferrmagnetic FeMn layer to adjacent FeN layer was disturbed by superconductivity. Because of this, the ideal superconducting spin-valve effect was not detected. Instead the stray field originated from unsaturated magnetic states dominated the transport properties of NbN/FeN/Cu/FeN/FeMn multilayer.

We investigated the low firing of $Li_2CO_3$ added $0.2Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ - 0.3Pb($Fe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}$) - $0.5Pb(Zr_{0.475}Ti_{0.525})O_3$ (PMN-PFN-PZT) ceramics and multilayer actuators (MLAs) using Ag inner electrodes. It was found that 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ was quite effective in lowering the sintering temperature of PMN-PFN-PZT ceramics from $1,100^{\circ}C$ down to $900^{\circ}C$ without deteriorating their piezoelectric ceramics ($d_{33}$ = 425 pC/N and $k_p$ = 61.9%). However, excess $Li_2CO_3$ up to 0.3 wt% brings about unwanted problems such as the formation of a $LiPbO_2$ secondary phase and subsequent degradation in the piezoelectric properties. Using 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ added PMN-PFN-PZT ceramics, MLAs with Ag inner electrodes were successfully fabricated, resulting in a normalized strain of 580 pm/V at an electric field of 1.5 kV/mm.
