We investigated the evolution of magnetic property with varying palladium (Pd) contents and elevating substrate temperatures up to 200 $^{\circ}C$ during dc-sputtering. We observed that saturation magnetization (Ms), remanence and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) ratio decrease with Pd contents in the case of keeping the substrate temperature at 3$0^{\circ}C$. However they increase by adding 2 %Pd, then decrease above 3 %Pd when we keep the substrate temperature at 20$0^{\circ}C$. Coercivity does not change with Pd contents. Our results imply that we may tune the Ms and AMR with Pd contents and substrate temperature in permalloy films.

In this paper, we discussed an optimal design of BLDC motor using rare earth magnet. In motor design using rare earth magnet, because of the characteristics that rare earth magnets have high remanence, the effect of saturation of steel has to be considered. For this, we used nonlinear finite clement method. For optimal design, a Niching genetic algorithm is used. As a result, we found out a set of BLDC motor shapes increasing motor efficiency, and decreasing cogging torque.

This article reviews findings and progresses in the past decade on manganese-aluminium (MnAl) based magnets as the interest has been revived to fulfill their potential as commercial magnets. The challenges in developments of these rare-earth-free magnets are to acquire a high remanence and coercivity from the ferromagnetic τ-phase in MnAl alloys. To this end, the phase transformation to this τ-MnAl with L10 body centered tetragonal structure has been promoted by a variety of methods and a few percents of carbon (C) is often added to prevent the phase decomposition. Magnetization and coercivity are not only influenced by the phase composition but also the microstructure. The fabrication processes and factors affecting the phase and microstructure are therefore covered. Finally, the productions of bulk MnAl magnets are addressed.

The Effects of Co-substitution in the nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloys were investigated. $\alpha$-Fe based nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloys were prepared by crystallization process of amorphous Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloy produced by rapid solidification process. The substitution of Co resulted in the decrease of grain size and improves the hard magnetic properties. The remanence, coercivity, and Curie temperature of nanocrystalline N $d_4$(F $e_{0.85}$ $Co_{0.15}$)$_{82}$ $B_{10}$M $o_3$Cu alloy showed more improved magnetic properties than those of Co-free alloy. The grain size was measured to be about 15 nm. The coercivity, remanence and maximum energy product were 239 kA/m, 1.41, and 103.5 kJ/ $m^3$, respectively, for the nanocrystalline N $d_4$(F $e_{0.85}$ $Co_{0.15}$)$_{82}$ $B_{10}$M $o_3$Cu alloy annealed for 0.6 ks at 640 $^{\circ}C$.

A palaeomagnetic study was carried out on Early through Late Cretaceous sandstones and volcanic sequences (the Songnaedong Formation, Chaeyaksan Volcanics, Konchonri Formation, and Jusasan Andesite it ascending order) from Konchonri area in the northern Milyang subbasin of the Kyongsang Basin, Korea. A high-temperature stable remanence with direction of $d=22.9^{\circ},\;i=59.1^{\circ}\;({\alpha}_{95}=3.0^{\circ})$ has been isolated and a corresponding pole was $71.6^{\circ}N,\;199.6^{\circ}E\;(A_{95}=4.2^{\circ})$. The characteristic high-temperature component resides in both hematite and magnetite. The primary nature of this remanence is confirmed from positive fold and reversals tests, The palaeopole is consistent with those of the Hayang Group in other parts of the Kyongsang Basin. A comparison of the palaeomagnetic pole position from the studied area with the contemporary pole from China west of the Tan-Lu fault presents that Konchonri area has experienced little latitudinal displacement nor vertical-axis block rotation relative to the Chinese blocks since the Cretaceous. Based on the formations indicating dual polarity, radiometric and paleontologic data, the magnetostratigraphic age of the studied sequence from the Songnedong Formation to the Jusasan Andesite ranges from upper Albian to lower Campanian reverse polarity chronozone. On the other hand, volcanic samples of the Chaeyaksan Volcanics and the Jusasan Andesite showed the scattered directions considered in group, even though individual sample showed a stable remanent magnetization in response to thermal demagnetization. It indicates that they have been reworked after acquisition of the stable remanent magnetization.

Irradiation-induced changes in mechanical properties and magnetic parameters were measured and compared to explore possible correlations for Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel surveillance specimens which were irradiated to a neutron fluence of $2.3\times10^{19}n/cm^2$(E>1.0MeV) in a typical pressurized water reactor environment at about $288^{\circ}C$. For mechanical property parameters, microvickers hardness, tensile and Charpy impact test were performed and Barkhausen noise amplitude, coercivity, remanence, maximum induction were measured for magnetic parameters. respectively. Results of mechanical property measurements showed an increase in yield and tensile strength, microvickers hardness. 41J indexed $RT_{NDT}$ and a decrease in upper shelf energy irrespective of base and weld metals. However, in the case of tensile properties, the changes in weld metal were negligible compared to the base metal. In the case of magnetic measurements, it is found that magnetic remanence, BN amplitude. BN energy have dropped significantly but coercivity(H,) has increased rapidly after irradiation. In this study. the measurements conducted on surveillance specimens of Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel showed that there were strong correlations between mechanical properties and magnetic properties.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the sample F $e_{0.8}$ $Co_{0.18}$(BN)$_{0.02}$ synthesized by microwave arc-melting with the maximum power of 3.5 kW have been studied by the methods of an X-ray diffraction and the measurement of the magnetic hysteresis using the vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The samples were prepared in a form of pellet pressed under the pressure of 9,000 N/c $m^2$, rolled coldly, and treated with the different temperatures. The X-ray diffraction pattern of pelleted sample shows that the crystal structure of the sample is bcc as same as that of Fe with a good uniformity. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that a residual stress, which exists in the sample, is eliminated by final 90$0^{\circ}C$ annealing. As rolling rate and heat treatment temperature increases, the saturation magnetization and the remanence of the samples increase whereas the coercivity of the samples shows decrease. Also the saturation magnetization and the remanence of the samples were affected by rolling rate and rolling direction than heat treatment temperature, but the coercivity of the samples was affected by rolling rate and direction as well as heat treatment temperature. This means that a domain wall motion is easy due to elimination of a residual stress and an inclusion which exists in the sample by rolling and heat treatment and a local induced-magnetization easy axis was also formed to parallel to the rolling direction due to creation of the like-atom pairs across the slip plane by rolling......

Magnetic properties of $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}(x=\;3,\;4,\;5)$ rrelt-spun alloys with 6 at% B content were studied aiming for finding out a new $\alpha$-Fe based Nd-Fe-B nanocrystalline alloy with good hard magnetic properties. $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys prepared by RSP crystallized to nanocrystalline phase. An optimally annealed $Nd_{3}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{87}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys had larger volume ratio of $\alpha$-Fe(Co) than that of higher Nd content alloy and showed high remanence of about 1.6 T. On the contrary, the increase of Nd content in $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloys gave rise to gradual increase of an amount of $Nd_{2}{(Fe,\;Co)}_{14}B$ phase and improved coercivity. An optimally annealed $Nd_{5}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{85}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloy showed the most improved hard mag¬netic properties. The remanence, coercivityand energy product of the alloy were 1.35 T, 219 kA/m (2.75 kOe), and $129\;kJ/m^{3}$ (16.2 MGOe), respectively.

Petrographic and palaeomagnetic studies have been conducted to understand the origin of dark-colored enclaves occurring in the hornblende biotite granite within the Wondong caldera. The enclaves are commonly elongted and rounded in shape. They are finer-grained and darker-colored than enclosing granite, but they have simliar mineral assemblage to that of granite. Under the microscope the enclaves show microstructures reflecting an igneius origin. The microstructures of igneous origin include elongate grain shapes of plagioclase, hornblende, apatite, poikilitic anhedral quartz and zoning of plagiclase. All above features indicate that the enclaves belong to the 'microgranitoid enclaves' of Vernon (1984). a total of 91 orirnted samples were drilled from 4 sites, and their AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) axis directions and remance components were analyzed. The result shows thar both enclave and host granite have same AMS priniciple axis direction and same remanence magnetic direction in each site. The result of this study suggests that the anclaves were derived from the globules of magma, which were formed by pillowing of synpltonic dike of magma that is more mafic than the host granite magma.

Paleomagnetic data have been obtained from the Lower Triassic Tonggo formation which is exposed in the E-W trending Baekunsan syncline comprising the Pyongan Supergroup in eastern Korea. Two ancient components of magnetization are recovered in this formation by detailed thermal demagnetization: a post-folding component and a pre-folding component The post-folding component ($D/I=58.8/55.5^{\circ}$) is normally magnetized and appears to acquire in the Cretaceous Normal Superchron. It is a magnetic signature of the Daebo Orogeny and has been rotated clockwise since this magnetization has been acquired, in common with the main synclinal axis. The pre-folding component ($D/I=1.1/19.4^{\circ}$, Paleopole at $306.1^{\circ}E$, $63.2^{\circ}N$) passes fold and reversal tests and is inferred to be a post-depositional or early chemical diagenetic remanence of Lower-Middle Triassic age. This paleopole corresponds only with the Lower Triassic poles from the North China Block: it is removed from the contemporary poles from the South China Block. If the result of this study is corrected for the clockwise rotation deduced from the Cretaceous overprint, the enhanced agreement with the Lower Triassic poles from the North China block can be achieved. Therefore, a first order correlation between the Korean Peninsula and North China at least since Lower Triassic times is identified in this study.
