In MRI, an image contrast can be developed as a result of the susceptibility effect if an object has paramagnetic substances. This is mainly due to the non-uniform phase distribution or linear gradient developed by the magnetic susceptibility within a voxel, which in turn reduces the signal intensity; e.g., spin phases are dephased and thereby cancel each other resulting in a reduced signal. In this paper, a new concept for manipulating the susceptibility effect through the use of tailored RF pulses is proposed. As potential applications of the method, two different types of tailored RF pulses are introduced: one for susceptibility artifact correction and the other for contrast enhancement. The latter, for example, can be applied to angiography utilizing the paramagnetic property of deoxygenated blood. Both a theoretical study of the method and experimental results are reported.

The bi-layered films composed of Co-Cr-Ta layers and paramagnetic $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer were deposited by suing Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS). The effects of $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer on the crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of the Co-Cr-Ta layer deposited on the underlayer was investigated. The diffraction intensity $I_{p(002)}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers on the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ layer was stronger than that of single layer and Co-Cr-Ta/Ti double layer. Therefore, the crystallinity of Co-Cr-Ta layer was imporved by the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer rather than Ti ones. However, te coercivity H$_{c\bot}$ of Co-Cr-Ta layers deposited on $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer was as low as 250 Oe even at substrate temperature of $220^{\circ}C$. This H$_{c\bot}$ decrease seems to be attributed to the effect of the $Co_{67}Cr_{33}$ underlayer as well as interval time between deposition of the underlayer and the Co-Cr-Ta layer.

The Magnetization behaviour has been measured for amorphous $Fe_{80-x}Mn_xZr_{10}$ (x = 4,6,8,10) alloys. The Curie temperature decreased from 236 K to 195 K with increasing Mn concentration (x = 4 to x = 10). The magnetization measurements were conducted at temperatures above the Curie temperature in the paramagnetic region. In all samples, the magnetic properties showed superparamagnetic behavior above $T_c$ where the mean magnetic moment of the superparamagnetic spin clusters decreased with increasing temperature. A large magnetic entropy change, ${\Delta}S_M$, which is calculated from H vs M curves associated with the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transitions in amorphous, has been observed. With Mn concentration increasing, ${\Delta}S_M$ decreases 1.04, 0.95, 0.87 J/kg K at 222, 210, 195 K (the Curie temperature), respectively.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the direct antioxidative effect of 90 Kda heat shock protein (Hsp90) obtained from duck muscle. Methods: The interaction of Hsp90 with phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids was studied with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and their further oxidation in the presence of Hsp90 was evaluated with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. The scavenging effect on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) was measured, and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in combination with 5-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide and 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5,-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO) was utilized to determine the abilities of Hsp90 in scavenging hydroxyl and PTIO radicals. Results: SPR showed Hsp90 could bind with both phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids, and prevent their further oxidation by the TBARS assay. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity increased with Hsp90 concentration, and could reach 27% and 20% respectively at the protein concentration of 50 μM. The EPR spectra demonstrated Hsp90 could directly scavenge ·OH and PTIO· radicals. Conclusion: This suggests that Hsp90, a natural antioxidant in meat, may play an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress, and may have potential use in meat products.

강자성 초전도체의 발견은 상극으로 알려진 강자성과 초전도성이 어떻게 상호작용하여 조화롭게 공존하는지에 대한 학문적인 연구뿐만 아니라 새로운 기술적인 응용을 위한 광범위한 탐구를 이끌고 있다. 본 해설논문에서는 강자성 초전도체에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여, 먼저 초전도체의 쿠퍼쌍을 깨뜨리는 강한 자기장의 궤도 효과와 상자성 효과에 대하여 설명한다. 자기장의 이러한 효과 이외에도 초전도체/강자성체 복합 구조의 계면에서 발생하는 근접 효과에 의해 단일상 쿠퍼쌍은 강자성체를 지나가는 동안 불안정하여 아주 짧은 침투깊이를 가진다. 그러나 쿠퍼쌍이 홀-진동수 삼중상인 경우 안정되고 긴 유효길이를 가지게 되는데, 새로운 스핀 전자소자로서의 개발을 위해 그 연구의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 마지막으로 다양한 강자성 초전도체와 양자구속효과에 의해 두 성질이 공존하는 저차원의 물질들을 소개한다.

본 연구는 1H-MRS 검사 시 조영제 사용이 대사물질의 spectrum에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 비교 분석함으로써, 조영제 주입 후 MRS 시행의 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2017년 1월부터 동년 5월까지 뇌 MRI 검사를 시행한 30명을 대상으로, 조영제 주입 전, 후 전두엽 백질 부분의 spectrum을 획득하여 뇌 조직의 대사물질 spectrum을 비교평가 하였다. 연구결과, 조영제를 주입할 경우 각 대사물질의 spectrum은 통계적으로 의미가 없어 조영제 사용이 대사물질의 spectrum에 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 대조도가 떨어져 병변의 위치파악이 힘든 경우 정확한 위치의 spectrum을 얻기 위해선 조영제를 사용하여 대조도를 높인 다음 MRS를 시행하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

교류전위차법 (alternating current potential drop : ACPD)을 이용하여 이차원 표면균열을 갖고 있는 상자성체 (paramagnetic material)의 모드 I (opening mode) 응력확대계수($K_I$)를 실험적으로 평가하기 위하여 하중에 따른 교류전위차 변화(change in ACPD)를 연구하였다. 아울러 하중에 의한 전위차 변화의 원인 그리고 전위차 변화에 미치는 자속(magnetic flux) 탈자(demagnetization) 및 균열길이의 영향을 연구하였다. 상자성체의 교류전위차는 인장하중을 증가시킬수록 선형적으로 감소하였다. 전위차 감소의 원인은 균열선단 주위의 도전율(conductivity)이 인장하중의 증가에 따라 증가하고 이는 시험편의 저항과 내부 인덕턴스를 감소시키기 때문이다. 도전율의 변화는 균열선단 주변의 응력상태에 의존하기 때문에 일정 $K_I$ 변화에 따른 전위차 변화량은 균열길이에 의존하지 않는다. 하중에 의한 전위차변화량은 시험편 주위의 자속의 유무에 영향을 받지만 탈자의 유무에는 영향을 받지 않는다.

This study explores and interprets in a new way the complex solvent and the temperature dependence of the NMR shifts for the N-$CH_2$ protons in tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato) iron(III) in acetone, benzene, carbon disulfide, chloroform, dimethylformamide and pyridine. The NMR shifts are interpreted in terms of the Fermi contact interaction and the dipolar term from the multipole expansion of the interaction of the electron orbital angular momentum and the electron spin dipolar-nuclear spin angular momentum. This analysis yields a direct measure of the effect of the solvent system on the environment of the transition metal ion. The results are analysed in terms of the crystal field environment of the transition metal ion with contributions from (a) the dithiocarbamate ligand (b) the solvent molecules and (c) the interaction of the effective dipole moment of the polar solvent molecule with the transition metal ion complex.

The authors investigated the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) from an magnesium (Mg)-doped GaN thin film with a delta-doped layer. The regularly doped sample shows a PL peak at 2.776 eV for the as-grown sample, and the peak shifts to 2.904 eV and increases in intensity for the annealed sample. The delta-doped sample also shows the same PL peak as does the regularly doped sample. However, only the annealed delta-doped layer shows a sharp EPR with a small isotropic Lande g-factor, $g_{II}$, of 2.029. This resonance is attributed to the delta-doped layer, which forms a hole-bound Mg-N atomic structure instead of the $Mg_{Ga}-V_N$ defect complex, indicating that the delta-doped sample was not optically activated to form PL centers but was instead electrically activated to form a hole-bound state.
