A FeRh alloy is a well-known efficient magnetocaloric material and some experimental and theoretical studies of bulk FeRh have been reported already by several groups. In this study we report first-principles calculations on magnetic properties of different thickness FeRh thin films in order to investigate the possibility to enhance further the magnetocaloric efficiency. We used Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) code. We found that the FeRh thin films have quite different magnetic properties from the bulk when the thickness is thinner than 6-atomic-layers. While bulk FeRh has a G-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, thin films which are thinner than 6-atomic-layers have an A-type AFM state or a ferromagnetic(FM) state. We will discuss possibility of magnetic phase transitions of the FeRh thin films in the view point of a magnetocaloric effect. And we found 4-, 5-, 6-layers films with Fe surface and 7-layers film with Rh surface are FM and they have dozens eV magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) energy. MCA energy leads to determine energy barrier when magnetic states are changed by external magnetic field.

The discoveries of antiferromagnetic coupling in Fe/Cr multilayers by Grunberg, the Giant Magneto Resistance by Fert and Grunberg and a large tunneling magnetoresistance at room temperature by Moodera have triggered enormous research on magnetic thin films and magnetoelectronic devices. Large opportunities are especially opened by the spin dependent tunneling resistance, where a strong dependence of the tunneling current on an external magnetic field can be found. We will briefly address important basic properties of these junctions like thermal, magnetic and dielectric stability and discuss scaling issues down to junction sizes below 0.01 $\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$with respect to single domain behavior, switching properties and edge coupling effects. The second part will give an overview on applications beyond the use of the tunneling elements as storage cells in MRAMs. This concerns mainly field programmable logic circuits, where we demonstrate the clocked operation of a programmed AND gate. The second 'unconventional' feature is the use as sensing elements in DNA or protein biochips, where molecules marked magnetically with commercial beads can be detected via the dipole stray field in a highly sensitive and relatively simple way.

The switching characteristics and the magnetization-flop behavior in magnetic tunnel junctions exchange biased by synthetic antiferromagnets (SyAFs) are investigated by using a computer simulations based on a single-domain multilayer model. The bias field acting on the free layer is found to be sensitive to the thickness of neighboring layers, and the thickness dependence of the bias field is greater at smaller cell dimensions due to larger magnetostatic interactions. The resistance to magnetization flop increases with decreasing cell size due to increased shape anisotropy. When the cell dimensions are small and the synthetic antiferromagnet is weakly, or not pinned, the magnetization directions of the two layers sandwiching the insulating layer are aligned antiparallel due to a strong magnetostatic interaction, resulting in an abnormal magneto resistance (MR) change from the high-MR state to zero, irrespective of the direction of the free-layer switching. The threshold field for magnetization-flop is found to increase linearly with increasing antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the synthetic antiferromagnet. Irrespective of the magnetic parameters and cell sizes, magnetization flop does not exist near zero applied field, indicating that magnetization flop is driven by the Zeeman energy.

The multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ has been investigated extensively in both thin film and ceramic form. However, the synthesis of a perfect sample with high resistivity is a prerequisite for examining its properties. This paper reports the synthesis of multiferroic $BiFeO_3$ along with its structural, electrical and magnetic properties in ceramic form. Polycrystalline ceramic samples of $BiFeO_3$ were synthesized by solid-state reaction using high purity oxides and carbonates. The formation of a single-phase compound was confirmed by x-ray diffraction and its lattice parameters were determined using a standard computer program. The microstructural studies and density measurement confirmed that the prepared samples were sufficiently dense for an examination of its electrical and magnetic properties. The dc electrical conductivity studies show that the sample was resistive with an activation energy of ${\sim}0.81\;eV$. The magnetization measurement showed a linear ($M{\sim}H$) curve indicating antiferromagnetic characteristics.

The spin exchange interactions of $(VO)_2(H_2O){O_3P-(CH_2)_3-PO_3}{\cdot}2H_2O$ were examined by spin dimer analysis based on extended Huckel tight binding method. The strongest spin exchange interaction occurs through the super-superexchange path $J_2$ and the second strongest spin exchange interaction occurs through the superexchange interaction path $J_1$. There are two strongly interacting spin exchange paths in $(VO)_2(H_2O){O_3P-(CH_2)_3-PO_3}{\cdot}2H_2O$. Therefore, magnetic susceptibility curve of $(VO)_2(H_2O){O_3P-(CH_2)_3-PO_3}{\cdot}2H_2O$ can be well reproduced by an alternating onedimensional antiferromagnetic chain model rather than an isolated spin dimer model.

A new 1D oxalato bridged compound Ni(en)(ox)-2$H_2$O, (ox = oxalate; en = ethylenediamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, TG analysis, and magnetic measurements. In the structure the Ni atoms are coordinated with four oxygen atoms in two oxalate ions and two nitrogen atoms in one ethylenediamine molecule. The oxalate anion acts as a bis-bidentate ligand bridging Ni atoms in cis-configuration. This completes the infinite zigzag neutral chain, [Ni(en)(ox)]. The interchain space is filled by water molecules that link the chains through a network of hydrogen bonds. Thermal variance of the magnetic susceptibility shows a broad maximum around 50 K characteristic of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic coupling. The theoretical fit of the data for T > 20 K led to the nearest neighbor spin interaction J = -43 K and g = 2.25. The rapid decrease in susceptibility below 20 K indicate this compound to be a likely Haldane gap candidate material with S = 1.

We have investigated magnetism of $Fe_2 /Ir_4$(001) superlattice in terms of a first-principles calculation by using an all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We considered two magnetic states, the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupled states between the Fe layers. It was found that the FM state was energetically more stable than the AFM one by 0.166 eV. Calculated magnetic moments of the Fe layers were, in absolute values, 2.45$\mu_B$ and 2.30 $\mu_B$for the FM and AFM states, respectively. We also found that the Ir layers had very small magnetic moments less than 0.1 $\mu_B$ for both magnetic states. In all the magnetic states, the subinterface Ir layers were coupled antiferromagnetically to the interface Ir layers, while the interface Ir layers were always coupled frerromagnetically to the interface Fe layers. These results contradicted to recent experimental reports of magnetically "dead"Fe layers in Fe/Ir superlattices for which the Fe layer thickness was less than two atomic layers. We attributed that the experimentally observed "dead"Fe layers were due to possible interdiffusion between Ir and Fe layers.en Ir and Fe layers.

DC/RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 Corning glass 위에 증착된 NiO/NiFe/Cu/NiFe 스핀밸브 박막에서 반강자성체 NiO와 강자성층 NiFe 사이의 교환결합력( $H_{ex}$)과 보자력( $H_{c}$), 그리고 두 NiFe 강자성층간의 사잇층 결합력( $H_{int}$)에 대해 고찰하였다. 사잇층 Cu의 두께증가에 따라 자성층간의 $H_{int}$는 서서히 감소하였고, $H_{ex}$는 거의 90 Oe로 일정한 값을 보였다. NiO와 교환 결합한 NiFe의 두께증가에 따라 $H_{ex}$는 감소하였으나, $H_{int}$는 80 Oe 까지 유지하다 감소하였다. 또한 NiO와 교환 결합되지 않은 NiFe 자성층의 두께 증가에 따라서는 $H_{ex}$의 값이 거의 변화하지 않았고, $H_{int}$는 두께에 따라 서서히 증가하는 결과를 보였다.결과를 보였다.를 보였다..
