We have studied magnetic structure and magnetic anisotropy energy of cubic transition metal mono-oxide cluster FeO and MnO using OpenMX method based on density functional method. The calculation results show that the antiferromagnetic spin arrangement has the lowest energy for FeO and MnO due to the superexchange interactions. The magnetic anisotropy is only found for antiferromagnetically ordered FeO cluster, since occupied electron of 3d down-spin level induces the spin-orbit couplings with <111> directed angular momentum.

In Fe/Gd multilayers, patterning effect on the interlayer coupling was studied by comparing patterned and unpatterned samples that were cut from a multilayer film. A comparative study of the two samples via temperature dependent Gd-specific magnetization vector using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) shows that the temperature dependence of the Gd magnetization vector can be modified in the patterned sample due to a competition between the patterning and antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling effects.

이중의 망간 perovskite 블록을 가진 Ruddlesden-Popper 상(R-P phase) $Sr_3Mn_2O_7$ 은 공기중에서 불안정하다. 본 연구에서는 망간 이온 자리에 철 이온을 소량 치환 함으로써 R-P 상을 안정화 시켰으며 이들의 결정구조는 X-선회절 데이터를 이용하여 Rietveld 법으로 정밀화하였다. 안정화에 필요한 Fe 이온의 양은 약 x=0.15로 나타났으며 Fe이온의 양이 증가함에 따라 쉽게 안정화 되었다. 자화율 측정결과 x=0.20 시료는 120K에서 paramgnetic-antiferromagnetic 전이를 나타내었고 이 전이 온도는 치환되는 Fe이온의 양이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

Using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) incorporating both semiempirical and nonlocal van der Waals interaction, the structural, adsorption, and magnetic properties of Ni/BN/Co systems were investigated. We proposed that the relative spin direction of Ni and Co magnets can be easily tuned, because the total energy difference between ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states is small. Despite this feature, very interestingly, both Ni and Co layers manifest half-metallic state, whereas the spacer BN layer becomes weak metal for one monolayer (ML) thickness and an insulating barrier for two ML thicknesses. The half-metallic behavior of the magnetic layers seems very robust, because it is independent of the magnetic coupling between Ni and Co. This finding indicates that the Ni/BN/Co system can be used as a potential candidate for tunneling magnetoresistance system.

Stabilized biocompatible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were prepared by controlled coprecipitation method for hyperthermia application. ESR measurements determined that all of the interactions in the individual SPIONs (1 nm and 11 nm) were antiferromagnetic in nature because the ions contributed to the magnetization with a range of magnetic moments. In-situ monitoring of the temperature increment was performed, showing that the microwave absorption rate of the SPIONs was dispersed in an appropriate host media (polar or non-polar solvents) during microwave irradiation. Microwave absorption energy rates and heat loss of SPIONs in solvent were calculated by non-linear data fitting with an energy balance equation. The microwave absorption rates of SPIONs dispersed in solvent linearly increases when the concentration of SPIONs increases, implying that the microwave absorption rate can be tunable by changing the concentration of SPIONs.

We study the effects of phonon interaction on the superconducting pairing in the high $T_c$ superconductors (HTSC). Using coupled BCS gap equations, we found that phonon interaction can induce a s-wave component to the d-wave gap, mediated by Antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations, in the (D+iS) form. However, $T_c$ is not enhanced compared to the pure d-wave pairing without phonon interaction. On the other hand, anisotropic phonon interaction can dramatically enhance the d-wave pairing and $T_c$ itself, together with the AFM spin fluctuation interaction. This ($D_{AFM}+D_{ph}$) type pairing exhibits strongly reduced isotope coefficient despite the large enhancement of $T_c$ by phonon interaction.

Electronic and magnetic properties of bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbon (bZGNR) are studied using pseudopotential density functional method. The edge atoms in the top and bottom layers of bZGNR make a weak hybridization, which leads to electronic structures different from monolayer ZGNR. For asymmetric bZGNR, where the top and bottom layers have different widths, one edge is pinched by the interlayer bonding and the other sustains antiferromagnetic ordering. A small amount of charge transfer occurs from narrower to wider layer, producing spin-polarized electron and hole pockets. External electric field produces asymmetric energy-gap opening for each spin component, inducing half-metallicity in bZGNR.

The authors studied the conduction mechanism in an uranium doped low dimensional magnetic system $Ca_2CuO_3$. This system exhibits the S=1/2 quasi 1D antiferromagnetic chains of -Cu-O- with strong magnetic coupling, and demonstrates continuous semiconductor-like behavior with constant covalent insulator character. This paper identifies the conduction is due to thermally activated phonon-assisted electron hopping between dopant uranium sites. The parameter a, the characteristic for hopping probability, was determined to be 0.18 ${\AA}^{-1}$. This value manifests a relatively stronger hopping probability for $Ca_2CuO_3$ as compared with other uranium doped ceramics.
