In the present paper some of the magnetic properties of the nanocrystalline Fe-based magnets produced by an appropriate annealing of their metallic glass precursors are reviewed. These properties are discussed on the grounds of their characteristics measured at the elevated temperatures. It is shown that the effective magnetostriction these magnets display, results from the competition among two contributions of the opposite sign originating from the individual magnetic phases, crystalline phase and the residual glassy matrix in which the nanocrystallites are embedded. It is also shown that at certain conditions the magnets considered expose superparamagnetic behavior and that their isothermal magnetization characteristics can successfully be used to calculate the distribution of the particle volumes. Application of the recently invented new genetic algorithm method, a powerful tool to calculate these distributions is, finally, presented.

In order to study the effect of the magnetic anisotropy on the giant magnetoresistance in a Co/Cu multilayered system, the angle dependent magnetoresistance (MR) was measured. The experimental results showed that the maximum MR ratio depends on the angle between the direction of the applied field and the easy axis. The angular modulation of the MR ratio can be explained by the alignments of the two 'effective' magnetization vectors that are bound to their own easy axes. Two maxima observed in MR loops at the second antiferromagnetic maximum are discussed in relation to the magnetic anisotropy, The simulated results under the assumption of the existence of two in-plane easy axes in the sample are compared with the experiments.

In order to study the effect of the magnetic anisotropy on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR), the angle dependent magnetoresistance (MR) was measured. The experimental results show that the maximum MR ratio depends on the angle between the direction of the applied field and that of the easy axis. The angular modulation of the MR ratio can be explained by the alignments of the two 'effective' magnetization vectors that are bound to their own easy axes. The typical property of MR loops at 2$\^$nd/ antiferromangtic maximum (AFM) such as two maxima was discussed in relation with the magnetic anisotropy (MA). The simulated results under an assumption of the two in-plane easy axes, which exist in the sample, were compared with the experiments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of chemical reaction with a bonding glass on physical and magnetic properties of Fe-Hf-N/SiO$_2$ and Fe-Hf-N/Cr/SiO$_2$ thin films. When the Fe-Hf-N/SiO$_2$ films were reacted with the bonding glass, the soft magnetic properties of them were extremely degraded. At $600^{\circ}C$, the saturation magnetization of the reacted film decreased to 1 kG, and its coercivity increased to 27 Oe, and its effective permeability decreased to 70. It was found that the degradation of soft magnetic properties of the Fe-Hf-N/SiO$_2$ films reacted with the bonding glass were attributed to the oxidation of the Fe-Hf-N layers to HfO$_2$ and Fe$_3$O$_4$. The soft magnetic properties of the Fe-Hf-N/Cr/SiO$_2$ films reacted with the bonding glass were degraded less than those of Fe-Hf-N/SiO$_2$ films. At $600^{\circ}C$, the saturation magnetization of the reacted film decreased to 13.5 kG, and its coercivity increased to 4 Oe, and its effective permeability decreased to 700. It was found that the Cr layer suppressed the oxidation of the Fe-Hf-N layers during the chemical reaction between the Fe-Hf-N layer and bonding glass.

It has been found that B is very effective for the increase of magnetization and Curie temperature in $NdFe_{11}TiN_x$-type compounds having $ThMN_{12}$-type structure. Experimental results have shown that magnetization and Curie temperature of $NdFe_{10.7}TiB_{0.3}N_x$ are 148 $Am^2$/kg and $560^{\circ}C,$ respectively, by about 20 $Am^2$/kg and $90^{\circ}C$ higher than those of $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}N_x.$ On the other hand, Mo is effective for the increase of anisotropy field, and it seems to strongly inhibit the formation of ${\alpha}-Fe$ phase during the nitrification treatement. The anisotropy field of $NdFe_{10.7}TiMo_{0.3}N_x$ is about 7960 kA/m (100 kOe) which is about 1590 kA/m (20 kOe) higher than that of $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}N_x$.

The influence of $O_2$partial presure on saturation magnetization, coercivity and effective permeability(0.5~100MHz) of as-deposited Fe-Sm-O thin films, which were fabricated by RF magnetron reactive sputtering method, were investigated. The nanocrystalline Fe(sub)83.4Sm(sub)3.4O(sub)13.2 thin film fabricated at $O_2$partial pressure of 5% exhibits the best magnetic softness with saturation magnetization of 18kG, coercivity of 0.82 Oe and effective permeability about 2,600 at 0.5~100MHz. $\alpha$-Fe grain size is decreased with increasing $O_2$partial pressure. In case of $O_2$partial pressure of 10%, it is observed that FeO compound is formed and soft magnetic properties are decreased. The electrical resistivity of Fe-Sm-O thin films were increased with increasing $O_2$partial pressure, the electrical resistivity of Fe(sub)83.4Sm(sub)3.4O(sub)13.2 thin film with the best soft magnetic properties was 130 $\mu$$\Omega$cm. Therefore, It is assumed that the good soft magnetic properties of Fe(sub)83.4Sm(sub)3.4O(sub)13.2 thin film results from high electrical resistivity and decreasing $\alpha$-Fe grain size due to precipitation of Sm-Oxide phase.

Thin films of Fe-Zr-N were fabricated by rf magnetron reactive sputtering method. The saturation magnetization and coercivity as functions of annealing temperature and partial pressure of nitrogen gas, effective permeability at high frequencies, and thermal stability were investigated. Magnetic softness was exhibited in the composition range of $Fe_{72-78}Zr_{7-10}N_{15-18}$ which was boundary between polycrystalline and amorphous structure. These films exhibited magnetic softness with saturation magentic flux density of 1.55 T and effective permeability of about 3000 at 1 MHz. These films also exhibited thermal stability by sustaining effective permeability of 2500 or above as the temperature was raised to $550^{\circ}C$. It is asswned that good magnetic softness is obtained because grain growth of $\alpha-Fe$ is prohibited due to the precipitation of ZrN nanocrystals. The grain sizes of $\alpha-Fe$ films were $40~50\AA$ and the grain sizes of ZrN nanocrystals were $10~15\AA$.

Fabrication condition and magnetic properties of ultrathin Co-based amorphous alloy have been investigated. When the ejection gas pressure was lower than 0.05 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the roll speed of 55 m/s, ultrathin ribbons with the thickness less than 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were successfully obtained. The ribbon thickness decreased linearly with the decrease in ejection pressure. Moreover the significant decrease in ribbon width was accompanied with the decrease of thickness in the range of ejection pressure to form an ultrathin ribbon. This behavior was attributed to the decrease of effective ejection pressure in the both end-sides of rectangular nozzle due to the larger friction between molten metal and nozzle wall. The effective permeability at low frequency (1 kHz) decreased largely with the decrease in ribbon thickness, while the coercive force increased with the thickness decrease. It was considered that these behaviors were due to the enhancement of surface effect leading to the suppression of wall motion. However effective permeability at high frequency (1 MHz) increased with the decrease in ribbon thickness, and this was ascribed to the easier magnetization rotation owing to the reduction of eddy current.

As a result of the recent miniaturization and enhancement in the performance of thin film inductors and thin film transformers, there are increased demands for the thin films with a high magnetic permeability in the high frequency range, a high saturation magnetization, a high electrical resistivity, and a low coercive force. In order to improve high frequency properties, we will investigate anisotropy field by shape and size of pattern. The Fe-Al-O thin films of 16mm diameter and 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness were deposited on Si wafer, using RE magnetron reactive sputtering technique with the mixture of argon and oxygen gases. The fabricating conditions are obtained in the working partial pressure of 2m Torr, O$_2$ partial Pressure of 5%, Input power of 400w, and Al pellets on an Fe disk with purity of 99.9%. For continuous thin film is the 4Ms of 19.4kG, H$\sub$c/ of 0.6Oe, H$\sub$k/ of 6.0Oe and effective permeability of 2500 up to 100MHz. In this work, we expect to enhanced effect of magnetic anisotropy on patterned of Fe-Al-O thin films.

Fast and accurate fault diagnosis of the position sensor is of great significance to ensure the reliability as well as sensor fault tolerant operation of the Switched Reluctance Wind Generator (SRWG). This paper presents a fault diagnostic scheme for a SRWG based on the residual between the estimated rotor position and the actual output of the position sensor. Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), which could build a nonlinear mapping among flux linkage, current and rotor position, is utilized to design an assembled estimator for the rotor position detection. The data for building the ELM based assembled position estimator is derived from the magnetization curves which are obtained from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an SRWG with the structure of 8 stator poles and 6 rotor poles. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed fault diagnosis method are verified by simulation at various operating conditions. The results provide a feasible theoretical and technical basis for the effective condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of SRWG.
