This study examined the magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe/Ni films on a Cu(001) surface using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The magnetic moment of Fe/Ni films was found to be insensitive to strain. Nevertheless, strain had a significant influence on the magnetization direction. For example, Fe/Ni films showed a thickness-dependent spin reorientation transition in the presence of strain, while the Fe/Ni films grown pseudomorphically on Cu(001) always showed perpendicular magnetization. In addition, the theoretically calculated X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) was examined.

By employing soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), the electronic structures of molecule-based nano bioparticles, such as Helicobacter pylori ferritin (H. pylori ferritin), Heme, $NaM[Fe(CN)_6]{\cdot}H_2O$-type Prussian Blue (M=Co, Ni) analogue, have been investigated. The measured Fe 2p XAS spectra reveal that Fe ions are trivalent ($Fe^{3+}$) in H. pylori ferritins, while they are in the $Fe^{2+}-Fe^{3+}$ mixed-valent states in $NaM[Fe(CN)_6]{\cdot}H_2O$ Prussian Blue analogues (M=Co, Ni). According to the Fe 2p XMCD spectrum of high-state H. pylori ferritin, all the $Fe^{3+}$ ions have the same local symmetry and their magnetic moments are aligned in the same direction. It is also found that the Fe 3d orbitals in $NaM[Fe(CN)_6]{\cdot}H_2O$ have a strong covalent bonding to $(CN)^-$ ligands, but with a very weak bonding to the 2p orbitals of O ligands.

The search for high-density recording materials has been one of most active and vigorous field in the field of magnetism. $FePt-L1_{0}$ nanoparticle has emerged as a potential candidate because of its high anisotropy. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent work at Argonne National Laboratory that contributes to the ongoing dialogue concerning the relation between structure and properties of the FePt nanoparticle system. In particular we discuss the ability to control structure and properties via dosing with Cr. Cr-dosed FePt films were grown via molecular beam epitaxy and annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber, and were studied with the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). We found that small dosage of Cr helps to generate $L1_{0}$ phase FePt magnetic nanoparticles with small size, defined shape and regular spatial distribution on MgO (001) substrate. The nanostructures are ferromagnetic with high magnetic coercivity (${\sim}0.9T$) and magnetic easy axis in the desired out-of-plane orientation. We also show that controlling the lateral region where nanostructures exist is possible via artificial patterning with Cr.

최근 새로운 과학기술의 발달로 자기다층박막등 자기 분야의 신소재를 비롯하여 XMCD( X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism), MFM(Magnetic Force Microscope)등 자성분석방법등이 개발되고 있고, 정보화 사회의 출현과 함께 자기기록에 대한 중요성이 증대되면서 자기 물성에 대한 연구는 새로운 르네상스 시기를 맞았다고 할 수 있다. 자기 현상의 근본 원리 규명에 대한 연구는 재료과학 또는 고체물성 연구과제중 가장 오랜 역사를 지닌 문제중의 하나라 할 수 있다. 자연계에 존재하는 자석은 기원전 7세기경부터 인간에게 알려진 것으로 기록되어 있고 그후 오랫동안 나침반으로 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 자석의 원리에 대한 규명은 양자역학이 생기고 전자의 스핀개념이 도입된 20세기 초에서야 시작되어졌다. 그나마 현재까지도 자기현상의 아주 기본적인 개념만이 알려진 상황이고, 금속, 부도체 또는 화합물등에서 일어나는 다양한 자기 현상들을 일관성 있게 설명하는 완전한 이론의 정립은 아직도 요원한 문제라 할 수 있다.

Fe/MnO multilayers with different bilayer thicknesses were grown by pulsed laser deposition method. Grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity results showed obvious multilayer Bragg peaks implying highly layered samples and, through their analysis, some structural parameters were quantiatively estimated. From the X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to MnO(111), Mn-oxide turned out to be dominantly MnO. To characterize the magnetic properties of $Mn^{+2}$, XMCD were carried out. Magnetic moments of MnO near interfaces were ordered in the opposite direction to those of Fe.
