Metal nano-wire arrays on Cu-coated seed layers were fabricated by aqueous solution method using sulfate bath at room temperature. The seed layers were coated on Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) bottom substrates by electrochemical deposition technique, length and diameter of metal nano-wires were dominated by controlling the deposition parameters, such as deposition potential and time, electrolyte temperature. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) was used as a template to prepare highly ordered Ni, Fe, Co and Cu multilayer magnetic nano-wire arrays. This template was fabricated with two-step anodizing method, using dissimilar solutions for Al anodizing. The pore of anodic aluminum oxide templates were perfectly hexagonal arranged pore domains. The ordered Ni, Fe, Co and Cu systems nano-wire arrays were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The ordered Ni, Fe, Co and Cu systems nano-wires had different preferred orientation. In addition, these nano-wires showed different magnetization properties under the electrodepositing conditions.

This paper presents a study on the magnetic behaviour of selected doped SiAlONs with various compositions including Y, Yb, Sm, Gd, and Er. The resulting crystalline phases were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The magnetic hysteresis data for the samples were collected at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The study revealed that doped SiAlONs experience an appreciable level of magnetic hysteresis. Although the parameters corresponding to hysteresis loops in doped SiAlONs are less than those of common ferrites, their magnetic properties of SiAlONs may open up new potential areas of application as the host SiAlON ceramics have excellent structural properties.

The Co-Cr-Ta films are one of the most suitable candidates for perpendicular magnetic recording media. The facing targets sputtering(FTS) system has a advantage of preparing films over a wide range of working gas pressure on plasma-free substrates. In this study, we investigated the effect underlayers on the growths layers of Co-Cr-Ta recording layers. The Co-Cr-Ta/Ti(CoCr) double layers were deposited with sputter gas pressure$(P_N, 0.3-1mTorr)$ by using FTS apparatus at temperature of$40^{\circ}C~-300^{\circ}C$, respectively. Crystallographic and magnetic characteristics were evaluated by x-ray diffractometry(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), respectively.

We prepared CoCr thin film for perpendicular magnetic recording media by facing targets sputtering system(FTS system) which can deposit a high quality thin films in plasma-free state and wide range of working pressure. In this study, we investigated that the effect of sputtering condition , that Argon gas pressure and substrate temperature, on magnetic and crystallographic characteristic of CoCr thin film as well as the variation perpendicular coercivity in changing of film's thickness. Crystallographic and magnetic characteristic of prepared thin films were evaluated by x-ray fractometry(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and kerr hysteresis loop measurement.

In order to develop an ultra-thin CoCr perpendicular magnetic recording layer, we prepared CoCrTa/Ti double layer for perpendicular magnetic recording media by new facing targets sputtering system, Crystallgraphics and magnetic characteristics of CoCrTa on underlayer substrate temperature have been investigated. Crystallgraphic and magnetic characteristic of thin films were evaluated by X-ray diffractometry(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM). The coercivity and anisotropy field was increased by increasing under layer substrate temperature, c-axis orientation of CoCrTa magnetic recording layer was improved 8$^{\circ}$ to 5.6$^{\circ}$when under layer substrate temperature was 250[$^{\circ}C$]. Also, through annealing effect for CoCrTa/Ti double layer, it was certain that crystallgraphics and magnetic characteristics was improved.

The crystallization of FePt/MgO(001) magnetic thin films of various thicknesses has been studied using synchrotron x-ray scattering, atomic force microscope, and vibrating sample magnetometer. In film with a 499-$\AA$-thick, face-centered tetragonal, ordered FePt phase was dominantly crystallized into perpendicular (001) grains keeping the magnetically easy c-axis normal to the film plane during annealing. In film with a 816-$\AA$-thick, however, longitudinal (110) grains keeping the c-axis parallel to the film plane were grown on top of the perpendicular (001) grains. The behavior of the magnetic properties was consistent with the thickness dependence of the crystallization. We attribute the thickness dependence of the crystallization to the substrate effect, which prefers the growth of the c-axis oriented perpendicular grains near the film/substrate interfacial area.

The Ce-Cr(-Ta) film are one of the most suitable candidates for perpendicular magnetic media. the control of the preparation conditions, such as Ar gas pressure P$\_$Ar/ substrates temperature T$\_$s/, films thickness $\delta$, deposition speed R$\_$d/, is considered to be important to attain ultra high density recording far perpendicular magnetic recording media. In this study, the Co-Cr thin films and Co-Cr-Ta thin films were deposited on the glass side substrates by using Facing Targets Sputtering apparatus(FTS). Crystallographic characteristics and magnetic characteristics were evaluated by X-ray diffractometry(XRD), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer(VSM) respectively.

We prepared Co-Cr-Ta and Co-Cr-Ta/Ti thin film for perpendicular magnetic recording media by facing targets sputtering system (FTS system). Ti underlayer effects on crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of Co-Cr-Ta perpendicular magnetic recording media have been investigated. Crystallgraphic and magnetic characteristic of prepared thin films were evaluated by x-ray diffractometry(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and kerr hysteresis loop measurement. The coercivity and anisotropy field increase by introduced Ti underlayer when substrate temperature is higher than 150$^{\circ}C$. The c-axis dispersion angle and grain size of Co-Cr-Ta/Ti thin film is decrease than Co-Cr-Ta when substrate temperature is higher than 100$^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the use of a Ti underlayer highly orientated can be improved crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of Co-Cr -Ta perpendicular media layer.

The magnetic and metallurgical characteristics of Mischmetal(MM) -Ferroboron (FeB) Permanent magnets have been investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning and transmission electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer under hot-pressing and die-upsetting process. The best magnetic properties obtained in these studies were $H_c$=5.8 kOe, $B_r$=5.0 kG with $(BH)_{max}=7.6 MGOe for melt-spun ribbons, $H_c$=3.0 kOe, $B_r$=4.6 kG with $(BH)_{max}$=2.9 MGOe for hot-pressed magnets and $H_c$=1.8 kOe, $B_r$=5.5 kG with $(BH)_{max}$=4.1 MGOe for die-upset magnets. The higher magnetic properties in die-upset magnets were resulted from alignment of the c-axis along the die-upsetting direction.

We need to develop technology of identifying high temperature high pressure(HTHP) synthetic diamond and HTHP treated natural diamonds from untreated natural diamonds to cope with sophisticated diamond enhancing technology. We had successfully identified synthetic diamonds using a vibrating sample magnetometer due to their ferromagnetic property. In addition, we identified the HTHP enhanced TypeIa, TypeIIa diamonds by employing non-destructive Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy.
