Magnetic funnel Junctions (MTJs) were fabricated on thermally oxidized Si (100) wafers using DC magnetron sputtering. The film Structures were Ta(50 ${\AA}$)/CU(100 ${\AA}$)$Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(20 $ ${\AA}$)/Cu(50 ${\AA}$)/$Mn_{75}Ir_{25}(100 $ ${\AA}$)/$Co_{70}Fe_{30}(25$ ${\AA}$)/Al-O(15 ${\AA}$)/$Co_{70}Fe_{30}(25 $ ${\AA}$)/$Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(t)/Ta(50 $ ${\AA}$), with t=0 ${\AA}$, 100 and 1000 ${\AA}$, respectively. X-ray diffraction has shown improvement of (111) texture of IrMn$_3$ and Cu by annealing. The exchange-biased energy is almost inversely proportional to temperature. The difference between the coercivity H$_c$ and the exchange biased field H$_E$ for t = 0 $_3$ sample is smaller than that for t = 1000 ${\AA}$. For the pinned layer, the decreasing rate of the coercivity with the temperature is higher compared to that of the exchange field, but variation of H$_c$ is similar to that of the exchange field for free layer.

속박층 (pinning layer) IrMn를 사용한 Ta/NiFe/IrMn/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/NiFe/Ta 구조의 스핀밸브 박막 (SV; spin valve)을 산화층이 코팅된 Si(111) 기판에 dc 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 상온에서 제작하였다. 이 SV에 대하여 교환결합자기장 (H$_{ex}$; exchange coupling field), 자기저항 (MR; magnetoresistance)비 및 보자력 (H$_{c}$ coercivity)의 열처리 순환수와 온도 의존성을 조사하였다. 증착조건과 후열처리 조건을 최적화 함으로써 MR비 3.6%, 피속박층의 H$_{ex}$ 11800 Oe을 얻었다. H$_{ex}$는 열처리 순환횟수가 2 이후에 일정한 값을 유지하여 열적으로 안정성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. H$_{ex}$는 24$0^{\circ}C$ 까지는 600 Oe를 유지하다가 점점 감소하여 27$0^{\circ}C$에 0이 되었다.

퍼말로이/교환중간층(Ru, V)퍼말로이 구조의 인위적 페리층을 만들어 이때 교환중간층의 두께를 4-20 $\AA$으로 변화시키며 이때의 보자력( $H_{c}$), 스핀플로핑 필드( $H_{sf}$ ), 포화자계( $H_{s}$ )의 변화를 SQUID로 확인하였다. 아울러 수직단면투과전자현미경을 이용하여 Ru, V의 인위적페리층의 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 퍼말로이를 채용한 인위적 구조는 모두 보자력이 10 Oe이하로 가능하였고 교환 층의 두께를 조절함으로써 적절한 $H_{s}$ , $H_{sf}$ 의 선택이 가능하였다. 특히 바나듐을 교환매개층으로 채택한 경우도 8 $\AA$의 두께에서 교환 작용이 확인되었다. 미세구조확인결과 V의 경우 퍼말로이와 혼입에 의해 유효두께가 얇아져서 교환 작용이 작아짐을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 CoFe/MnIr 이중층 구조의 계면에 존재하는 비상보성 반강자성(AF) 스핀들에 의한 교환 결합 에너지 특성을 강자성 공명(FMR) 측정법을 이용하여 분석하였다. MnIr의 두께가 $t_{AF}$= 0, 3 및 10 nm 재료를 열처리한 한 후 이들 재료의 FMR 신호를 측정하였으며, $t_{AF}$= 0 nm 재료를 기준으로 하여 $t_{AF}$= 3 및 10 nm 재료의 교환 바이어스 자기장($H_{ex}$)과 회전 이방성 자기장($H_{ra}$)을 도출하였다. $300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 재료의 경우, $H_{ex}$과 $H_{ra}$의 합은 MnIr의 임계 두께에 무관하게 동일한 값을 보이는데, 이는 비상보성 AF 스핀들이 모두 한 방향으로 정열 되었음을 의미한다. 이들 결과로부터 비상보성 AF 스핀들 중에서 일부분은 CoFe/MnIr의 계면에 고정되어 $H_{ex}$로 발현되어 나타나고, 나머지 부분은 자기장의 방향에 따라서 회전하므로 $H_{ra}$로 발현되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 교환 결합 에너지는 교환 바이어스 에너지 및 회전 이방성 에너지의 합으로 표현될 수 있음을 보였다.

The Korean government announced the "1st Basic Plan for the Transition to Hydrogen Economy" in 2021 and declared the establishment of a hydrogen industry ecosystem by 2040. To build a low-carbon power system, resources that can efficiently accommodate renewable energy are required, and green hydrogen is considered a potential solution. This study analyzed the economic feasibility of green hydrogen-based sector coupling to reduce curtailment of renewable generation in the Jeju power system by 2025 under the scenario of with or without HVDC#3. The result showed that HVDC#3 significantly reduced the frequency of curtailment from 16.1% to 3.0%. In addition, green hydrogen-based sector coupling was an economically feasible option as result showed an IRR of 4.86% when HVDC#3 was connected and 11.45% when it was not under the condition of achieving 50% curtailment reduction. This study shows that the higher the level of renewable energy deployment, the more delayed the HVDC connection between Jeju and the main land, and the lower the SMP, the more economically feasible the green hydrogen-based sector coupling is. Furthermore, this study suggests that the policy goal of completely reducing curtailment is not economically efficient.

MnBi alloys were fabricated by arc melting and annealing at 573 K. The heat treatment enhanced the content of the low-temperature phase (LTP) of MnBi up to 83 wt%. The Bi-excess assisted LTP MnBi alloys were used in the hybridization with the Nd-Fe-B commercial Magnequench ribbons to form the hybrid magnets (100-x)NdFeB/xMnBi, x = 20, 30, 40, 50, and 80 wt%. The as-milled powder mixtures of Nd-Fe-B and MnBi were aligned in a magnetic field of 18 kOe and warm-compacted to anisotropic and dense bulk magnets at 573 K by 2,000 psi for 10 min. The magnetic ordering of two hard phase components strengthened by the exchange coupling enhanced the Curie temperature ($T_c$) of the magnet in comparison to that of the powder mixture sample. The prepared hybrid magnets were highly anisotropic with the ratio $M_r/M_s$ > 0.8. The exchange coupling was high, and the coercivity $_iH_c$ of the magnets was ~11-13 kOe. The maximum value of the energy product $(BH)_{max}$ was 8.4 MGOe for the magnet with x = 30%. The preparation of MnBi alloys and hybrid magnets are discussed in details.

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..

The objective of this paper is to review the magnetic and magneto-transport properties of Co/$Co_2TiSn$ consisting of two metallic magnetic phases that are antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled at the phase boundary. The bulk Co/$Co_2TiSn$ system, which has a $Co_2$TiSn Heusler alloy precipitates in the hexagonal Co matrix, showed an unusual coercivity change with a concurrent change in temperature, and was modeled on the basis of a wall formation caused by exchange coupling at the phase boundary. For measurements of magneto-transport properties, Co/$Co_2TiSn$ thin films that had two-magnet phases were deposited using a magnetron sputtering system with a composite target. The magnetization process in the films is also explained on the basis of the model of wall formation at the phase boundary. Annealed Co/$Co_2TiSn$ films showed a 0.12% GMR effect, indicating the scattering of polarized conduction electrons due to the antiparallel exchange coupling at the phase boundary. The scattering process of conduction electrons at the phase boundary was modeled with relation to the magnetization process.

Antiferromagnet (AFM)/ferromagnet (FM) bilayer structures are widely used in the magnetic devices of sensor and memory applications, as AFM materials can induce unidirectional anisotropy of the FM material via exchange coupling. The strength of the exchange coupling is known to be sensitive to quality of the interface of the AFM/FM bilayers. In this study, we utilize proton irradiation to modify the interface structures and investigate its effect on the magnetic properties of AFM/FM structures, including the exchange bias and magnetic thermoelectric effect. The magnetic properties of IrMn/CoFeB structures with various IrMn thicknesses are characterized after they are exposed to a proton beam of 3 MeV and $1{\sim}5{\times}10^{14}ions/cm^2$. We observe that the magnetic moment is gradually reduced as the amount of the dose is increased. On the other hand, the exchange bias field and thermoelectric voltage are not significantly affected by proton irradiation. This indicates that proton irradiation has more of an influence on the bulk property of the FM CoFeB layer and less of an effect on the IrMn/CoFeB interface.

Without a definitive resolution of stoichiometry of cardiac Na$^{+}$-Ca$^{2+}$exchange (NCX), we cannot proceed to any quantitative analysis of exchange function as well as cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. The stoichiometry of cardiac NCX, however, is presently in doubt because reversal potentials determined by various groups range between those expected for a 3-to-1 and a 4-to-1 flux coupling. For a new perspective on this problem, we have used ion-selective microelectrodes to quantify directly exchanger-mediated fluxes of $Ca^{2+}$and Na$^{+}$in giant membrane patches. $Ca^{2+}$- and Na$^{+}$-selective microelectrodes, fabricated from quartz capillaries, are placed inside of the patch pipettes to detect extracellular ion transients associated with exchange activity. Ion changes are monitored at various distances from the membrane, and the absolute ion fluxes through NCX are determined via simulations of ion diffusion and compared with standard ion fluxes (Ca$^{2+}$ fluxes mediated by $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore, and Na$^{+}$ fluxes through gramicidin channels and Na$^{+}$/K$^{+}$pumps). Both guinea pig myocytes and NCX1-expressing BHK cells were employed, and for both systems the calculated stoichiometries for inward and outward exchange currents range between 3.2- and 3.4-to-1. The coupling ratios do not change significantly when currents are varied by changing cytoplasmic [Ca$^{2+}$] or by adding cytoplasmic Na$^{+}$. The exchanger reversal potentials, measured in both systems under several ionic conditions, range from 3.1- to 3.3-to-1. Taken together, a clear discrepancy from a NCX stoichiometry of 3-to-1 was obtained. Further definitive experiments are required to acquire a fixed number, and the present working hypothesis is that NCX current has an extra current via ‘conduction mode’.ent via ‘conduction mode’.
