A magnetic field annealing is firstly used for nanostructured Sm-Co/Co films, prepared by magnetron sputtering method. The effects of magnetic field annealing on single-layered Sm-Co films are different from those on multi-layered Sm-Co/Co films. A detailed analysis of microstructures and magnetic properties is made by means of HRTEM, Auger electron spectroscopy, XRD and Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). From magnetic properties and microstructure analysis, it was confirmed that these differences originate from the effects of magnetic field annealing on crystallization behavior of the films. The relationship between magnetic properties and microstructures explains a different demagnetization process of single-layered and multilayered films. For the single-layered Sm-Co films, magnetic-field-annealing makes the main phases change from $CaCu_5/ to Zn_2Th_{17}$ structure, resulting in a decrease of coercivity. The results show that the magnetic-field-annealing is useful to improve the properties of nanostructured Sm-Co(30 nm)/Co(10 nm) films, which ascribe to improving the pinning effectiveness in coercivity mechanism and decreasing the magnetostatic interaction of films. A very high coercivity about 0.7 T was obtained from nanoscaled multi-layered Sm-Co(30 nm)-/Co(10 nm) films.

In this paper, the effects of different 3D printing conditions including oil lubrication and annealing are observed for their effects on tensile testing. In 3D printing, a press-out extrude filament is rapidly heated and cooled to create internal stress in the printed part. The 3D printing internal stress can be removed using oil-coated filament and annealing. During the oven cooling at an annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the specimens with laminated angle $0^{\circ}$ tends to increase by 12.6%, and that of the oil-coated filament printing specimens is increased by 17%. At the annealing temperature of $106^{\circ}C$, the stress of the oil-coated filament printing specimens tends to increase by 35%. In this study, we have found that the oil lubrication and annealing remove the internal stresses and increase the strength of the printed specimens. The oil lubrication and annealing reform the crystalline structures to even out the areas of high and low stress, which creates fewer fragile areas. These results are very useful for the manufacture of 3D printing products with a suitable mechanical strength for applications.

In order to clarify the heat annealing process for Magnesium Oxide (MgO), cathodoluminescent (CL) analysis was performed. Our results in the present work prove that the heat annealing has effects on not only removing water from the surface of MgO, but also increasing density of O and Mg defect pairs. It is the first work that the influence of annealing process on physical properties of the vacuum evaporated MgO thin films by using CL spectra.

We electroplated copper-cobalt thin films on a silicon substrate, which had 150 nm thick copper seed layer. The adhesion between the two metallic layers could be increased by utilizing a proper organic additive, pulse plating technique, and high temperature annealing. The thin films exhibited columnar growth of the deposits and enhanced adhesion. This is attributed to the grain growth mechanism introduced by the additive and annealing.

Cellulose(cell)/dimethylacetamide(DMAc)/lithium chloride(LiCl) solutions were prepared and spun to fibers in coagulants. Then, obtained fibers were annealed in appropriate chemicals. The fibers from cell/DMAc/LiCl showed cell III morophology prior to annealing without differenciating the kind of coagulants. Morphology of crystallite, however, was affected by annealing. Annealed fibers at 17$0^{\circ}C$ showed cell IV morphology and had better mechanical properties than others.

Silicon oxide with thickness lee than 9 nm is fabricated by tube furnace oxidation. Nitrogen is added to dilute the oxidation rate. Aluminum dots with radius of 0.05 cm are deposited on the oixde. High frequency capacitance-voltage(HF C-V), conductance-voltage(G-V) and current-voltage(I-V) characteristics are measured. Annealing under nitrogen atmosphere is carried out with different time and at different temperature. Densities of the interface states before and after annealing are compared. After annealing, a decrease in density of the interface states is found. Experiments show that 45$0^{\circ}C$ annealing for 30 minutes has the lowest density of the interface states.

Amorphous carbon nitride films deposited on Si(001) substrates by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique using CH$_4$and $N_2$as reaction gases were thermally annealed at various temperatures under$ N_2$atmosphere, then their physical properties were investigated particularly as a function of annealing temperature. Above $600^{\circ}C$ a small amount of crystalline $\beta$-$C_3$$N_4$ phase evolves, while the film surface becomes very rough due to agglomeration of fine grains on the surface. As the annealing temperature increases, both the hardness and the $sp^3$ bonding nature are enhanced. In contrast to our expectation, higher annealing temperature results in a relatively higher friction mainly due to big increase in roughness at that temperature.

In this article, a novel annealing technique using alternating magnetic field (AMF) is adopted to improve the electrical characteristics of pentacene film, thereby enhancing the performance of pentacene-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). According to the investigation results, the electrical conductivity in the pentacene film could be increased from 0.32 to 1.18 S/cm by annealing the pentacene film using AMF. And also, OTFTs with the pentacene film annealed by AMF exhibited an improved performance compared to the device without annealing. These results suggest that an annealing using AMF can be an effective method to improve the performance of devices based on organic semiconductors.

Effects of annealing on the dielectric properties and microstructures of thin tantalum oxide film(25nm) deposited on p-type Si substrate with rf reactive magnetron sputtering were investigated. The leakage current density was remarkably reduced from $10^-8$ to $10^-12$ A/$\mum^2$at the electric field of 2MV/cm after rapid thermal annealing(RTA) in $O_2$at $1000^{\circ}C$, while little leakage reduction was observed after furnace annealing in $O_2$ at $500^{\circ}C$. The structural changes of thin tantalum oxide film after annealing were examined using high resolution electron microscope(HREM). The results of HREM show that substantial reduction in the leakage current density after the RTA in $O_2$ can be attributed to crystallization and reoxidation of the thin amorphous tantalum oxide film.
