$Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C electrocatalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells(PEMFCs) were synthesized by reduction with HCHO and their activity as a oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) was examined at half cell. The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) was studied by using a glaasy carbon electrode through cyclic voltammetric curves(CV) in a 1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. The ORR activities of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C were higher than $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C. Also potential-current curves of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C at 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6V for 5minutes respectively were higher than $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C. Physical characterization was made by using x-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The TEM images of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_{10}$/C catalysts showed homogenous particle distribution with particle size of about 2.7 nm, 3 nm respectively and then the XRD results showed that the crystalline structure of the synthesized catalysts are seen FCC structure.

The Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ exchange bias layers (EBLs), which have a small amounts of Pt, exhibit a high value of H$\_$ex/. The Si/Ni-Fe/Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ EBL shows the largest H$\_$ex/ of 187 Oe, which is equivalent to a exchange energy (J$\_$ex/) of 0.146 erg/cm$^2$. Mn$\_$80/Ir$\_$18.1/Pt$\_$1.9/ EBLS are estimated to have blocking temperature of about 250 $\^{C}$, which is higher than those of Mn-Ir EBLs and Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs with higher Pt contents. This result implies that a little addition of Pt element promotes thermal stability in the Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs. The chemical stability of Mn-Ir-Pt EBLs was characterized by potentiodynamic test, which was performed in 0.001 M NaCl solution. The current density of Mn-Ir-Pt films was gradually reduced with increasing Pt content. The present results indicate that the Mn-Ir-Pt with a small amount of Pt is suitable for an antiferromagnetic material for a reliable spin valve giant magnetoresistance device.

The oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) has been shown in pinned $[CoFe/Pt(t_{pt})/CoFe]/IrMn$ multi-layers with perpendicular anisotropy. The period of oscillation corresponds to about 2 monolayers of Pt. The oscillatory behavior of IEC depending on the nonmagnetic metallic Pt thickness is thought to be related the antiferromagnetic ordering induced by IrMn layer. Oscillatory IEC as function of insulating NiO thickness has been observed in $[Pt/CoFe]_4/NiO(t_{NiO})/[CoFe/Pt]_4$ multilayers. The effect of N (number of bilayer repeats) upon the magnetic property of [Pt/CoFe]N/IrMn is also studied.

Dependence of interlayer exchange coupling on antiferromagnetic IrMn thickness, thermal stability, and parallel anisotropy angle in perpendicular anisotropy [CoFe/Pt/CoFe]/IrMn multilayers was investigated. The magnetic property of [CoFe($10{\AA}$)/Pt($8{\AA}$)/CoFe($10{\AA}$)] induced by antiferromagnetic ordering of IrMn layer was maintained a stable perpendicular anisotropy up to $250^{\circ}C$ and from $7{\AA}$ to $160{\AA}$ of IrMn thickness. The value of interlayer exchange coupling of [CoFe/Pt/CoFe]/IrMn multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy increased to 1.5 times at anisotropy angle of $60^{\circ}$ more than of $0^{\circ}$. On the other side, the interlayer exchange coupling at anisotropy angle of $90^{\circ}$ was $\infty$ Oe, it was likely diverted to a parallel shape magnetization.

Electronic structures of the Heusler compounds, XMnSb (X=Ni, Pd, and Pt) are investigated systematically by using the linearized muffiu-tin orbital (LMTO) band method. LMTO band calculations yield that, by including the spinorbit interactions, the NiMnSb and PtMnSb are half-metallic, while PdMnSb is normal metallic at the experimental lattice constant. The effect of the spin-orbit interaction is substantial in PtMnSb, in contrast to NiMnSb and PdMnSb. The calculated X d and Mn 3d angular momentum projected local density of states's reveal that the hybridization between the Mn 3d X d states increases from X = Pt to Pd and Ni.

Crystal structures and magneto-optical properties of $(Mn_{0.5-Z}Sb_{0.5+Z})_{100-y}Pt_y$ (0$(Mn_{0.5-Z}Sb_{0.5+Z})_{100-y}Ag_y$ (0$^{\circ}C$ are C1b-type with fcc and NiAs-type with hcp, respectively. The MnSbAg films have a texture which the c-axis orientation is perpendicular to the film plane by annealing at 300 $^{\circ}C$ for less than 3 hours. The perpendicular anisotropy constants of the $Mn_{47.4}Sb_{47.5}Ag_{5.1}$ film annealed at 300 $^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours are $K_1=6.6{\times}10^5 \; erg/cm^3\;and\;K_2=1.9{\times}10^5\; erg/cm^3$. The Kerr rotation angle of MnSbPt films increases but that of MnSbAg film decreases by decreasing incident wavelength within the range of 700$\leq$ λ$\leq$1000 nm. High polar Kerr angles of 1.7$^{\circ}$ (λ =700 nm) and 0.6$^{\circ}$ (λ =1000 nm), 0.2$^{\circ}$ (λ =700 nm) and 0.97$^{\circ}$ (λ =1000 nm) have been obtained from $Mn_{41.1}Sb_{44,9}Pt_{14.0}$ and $Mn_{47.4}Sb_{47.5}Ag_{5.1}$ alloy films, respectively.

The effects of annealing after deposition on the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of MnSbPt thin films prepared by rf sputtering were investigated. The MnSbPt alloy thin films were annealed in a vacuum with $10^{-5}$ Torr and the air, respectively, as a function of temperature and time. The films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours was found to have the highest value of the saturation magnetization. The films annealed in the air did not show any thermal degradations, which indicates their chemical stability for the magneto-optical recording process. It was revealed that the $Mn_{43}Sb_{46}Pt_{11}$ films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 4hours in a vacuum with $10^{-5}$ Torr exhibit high Kerr rotation angle of $0.8^{\circ}$ for the incident wavelength of 550nm, which is ascribed to the increase of the volume ratio of Clb phase. However, similar to the PtMnSb alloy thin films, these films are still horizontally magnetized and have the coercive field less than 400 Oe.

$Mn_1-xCr_xPt_3$ alloy films have been prepared by depositing (Mn, Cr)/Pt multilayers using a rf magnetron sputterer followed by heat treatment. Small and wide angle x-ray diffractometry, magnetic hysteresis loops and Kerr rotation angle spectra of the films have been measured and used to investigate structural, magnetic and magneto-optic properties of the films. The films had a crystal structure of ordered AuCu$_3$ type and the strong preferred orientation of a (111)plane parallel to the film surface. The saturation magnetization of the films was decreased with Cr content reaching almost zero near x=0.58 and then increased for further increasement of Cr content up to x=0.77 over that stayed almost constant. This indicated that Cr atoms were antiferromagnetically coupled with Mn atoms. The magnetic easy axis of MnPt$_3$(x=0) film was parallel to the film surface but those of the films with x$\geq$0.58 increased as Cr content increased reaching about 4 kOe at x=1(CrPt$_3$). The dependence of the Kerr rotation angle on the Cr content was similar to that of the saturation magnetization on the Cr content. The films with x=0.77 and x=1 showed the larger Kerr rotation angle at the wavelengths of near infrared compared to the magneto-optic recording medium, TbFeCo, currently being used.
