Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) are currently active areas of research. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, ~100% spin polarization (P), and has a high Curie temperature (TC~850 K). On the other hand, Spinel ferrite CoFe2O4 has been widely studies for various applications such as magnetorestrictive sensors, microwave devices, biomolecular drug delivery, and electronic devices, due to its large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, chemical stability, and unique nonlinear spin-wave properties. Here we have investigated the magneto-transport properties of epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 thin films. The epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 (x=0; 0.4; 0.6; 1) thin films were successfully grown on MgO (100) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The quality of the films during growth was monitored by reflection high electron energy diffraction (RHEED). From temperature dependent resistivity measurement, we observed that the Werwey transition (1st order metal-insulator transition) temperature increased with increasing x and the resistivity of film also increased with the increasing x up to $1.6{\Omega}-cm$ for x=1. The magnetoresistance (MR) was measured with magnetic field applied perpendicular to film. A negative transverse MR was disappeared with x=0.6 and 1. Anomalous Hall data will be discussed.

Variation of magnetic properties through Cr substitution for Co in inverse-spinel $CoFe_2O_4$ has been investigated by vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM) and conversion electron $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy (CEMS). $Cr_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ samples were prepared as thin films by a sol-gel method. The lattice constant of the $Cr_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ samples was found to remain unchanged, explainable in terms of a reduction of tetrahedral $Fe^{3+}$ ion to $Fe^{2+}$ due to substitution of $Cr^{3+}$ ion into octahedral $Co^{2+}$ site. The existence of the tetrahedral $Fe^{2+}$ ions in $Cr_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ was confirmed by CEMS analysis. Room-temperature magnetic hysteresis curves for the $Cr_{x}Co_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ films measured by VSM revealed that the saturation magnetization $M_s$ increases by Cr doping. The $M_s$ is maximized when x = 0.1 and decreases for higher x but is still bigger than that of $CoFe_2O_4$. The increase of $M_s$ can be explained partly by the reduction of the tetrahedral $Fe^{3+}$ ion to $Fe^{2+}$.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were used to investigate the influence of Ni ions on the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of nickel-ferrites ($Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$). Spinel $Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ ($x{\leq}0.96$) samples were prepared as polycrystalline thin films on $Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates, using a sol-gel method. XRD patterns of the nickel-ferrites indicate that as the Ni composition increases (x > 0.3), a structural phase transition takes place from cubic to tetragonal lattice. The XPS results imply that the Ni ions in $Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ substitute for the octahedral sites of the spinel lattice, mostly with the ionic valence of +2. The minority-spin d-electrons of the $Ni^{2+}$ ions are mainly distributed below the Fermi level ($E_F$), at around 3 eV; while those of the $Fe^{2+}$ ions are distributed closer to $E_F$ (~1 eV below $E_F$). The magnetic hysteresis curves of the $Ni_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ films measured by VSM show that as x increases, the saturation magnetization ($M_s$) linearly decreases. The decreasing trend is primarily attributable to the decrease in net spin magnetic moment, by the $Ni^{2+}$ ($2{\mu}_B$) substitution for octahedral $Fe^{2+}$ ($4{\mu}_B$) site.

The fatigue crack propagation behaviors of Z3CN20.09M duplex stainless steel (DSS) were investigated by studying oxide films of specimens tested in $290^{\circ}C$ water and air. The results indicate that a full oxide film that consisted of oxides and hydroxides was formed in $290^{\circ}C$ water. By contrast, only a half-baked oxide film consisting of oxides was formed in $290^{\circ}C$ air. Both environments are able to deteriorate the elastic modulus and hardness of the oxide films, especially the $290^{\circ}C$ water. The fatigue lives of the specimens tested in $290^{\circ}C$ air were about twice of those tested in $290^{\circ}C$ water at all strain amplitudes. Moreover, the crack propagation rates of the specimen tested in $290^{\circ}C$ water were confirmed to be faster than those tested in $290^{\circ}C$ air, which was thought to be due to the deteriorative strength of the oxide films induced by the mutual promotion of oxidation and crack propagation at the crack tip. It is noteworthy that the crack propagation can be postponed by the ferrite phase in the DSS, especially when the specimens were tested in $290^{\circ}C$ water.

The low-temperature deposition of BaNi_(2-x)Co_xFe₁₆O₂₇ thin films with a Ba hexaferrite structure for electromagnetic shielding was studied. The BaNi_(2-x)Co_xFe₁₆O₂₇ thin films produced through the spin spray process were suitable for thin film deposition on a flexible substrate because it crystallized well at low temperature below 90℃. The change in shielding characteristics depending on the Co content of the BaNi_(2-x)Co_xFe₁₆O₂₇ thin film was investigated, and excellent shielding characteristics with S21 of -1 dB were obtained in a wide frequency range of 26~40 GHz when the Co content was 0.4 or more. The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in shielding properties caused by change in Co content in relation to phase changes in BaNi_(2-x)Co_xFe₁₆O₂₇ and obtain basic data for developing excellent flexible electromagnetic wave shielding materials.

Sol-gel 법을 이용하여 $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4$(x=0.0, 0.15, 0.5, 1.0) 박막 시료을 만들어 V 치환에 따른 $Fe_3O_4$의 결정구조적 특성을 X-ray diffraction(XRD)과 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)로 조사하였다. 특히 Fe 이온의 전하상태와 거동에 관하여 강력하게 조사할 수 있는 conversion electron $M\"{o}ssbauer$(CEMS) 분광법을 이용하여 양이온들의 거동과 초미세 자기적 성질을 분석하였다. X-선 회절실험의 결과 $V_xFe_{3-x}O_4(X{\leq}1.0)$ 박막 시료들의 결정구조는 스피넬구조로서 V 조성값 증가에 따라 격자상수값이 약간 증가함을 보여준다. XPS 조사에서 x값 증가에 따라 처음에는 $V^{3+}$ 이온이 B-자리의 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온을 주로 치환하고 x값이 더 커지면서 $V^{2+}$ 이온의 $Fe^{2+}$ 치환도 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 격자상수값이 증가하는 분석 결과를 잘 설명하여 준다. CEMS 측정 결과에서 나타난 양이온 거동은 주로 B-자리의 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온에 대한 $V^{3+}$ 이온 치환이 나타나고, V 조성값이 더 크게 증가함에 따라 $V^{2+}$ 이온의 $Fe^{2+}$ 치환도 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이것은 V 치환이 Fe 이온 주위의 국부적 전하분포와 대칭성의 변화를 가져와 초미세 자기적 성질의 변화를 초래함을 의미한다.

Co 페라이트 $CoFe_2O_4$에서 Fe의 미량을 Al으로 치환시킨 시료인 $Al_{0.2}CoFe_{1.8}O_4$ 분말과 박막을 sol-gel 방법으로 각각 제조하였다. 이 시료에 대한 열처리 온도에 따른 결정학적 및 자기적 특성의 변화를 비교하기 위하여 X선 회절기, FE-SEM, $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ 분광기, 진동자력계 등을 이용한 측정을 하였다. 분말 시료를 673K 이상으로 열처리 했을 때 cubic spinel구조가 나타나기 시작하고, 박막 시료는 873 K 이상으로 열처리 했을 때 cubic spinel 구조가 나타나기 시작했다. $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ 분광 분석을 통해 873 K 이상의 온도로 열처리한 분말시료에서 준강자성 성질이 얻어졌으나 673K로 열처리한 시료는 작은 입자크기 때문에 상자성이 공존하고 473K로 열처리한 시료는 상자성 성질만이 나타났다. VSM 측정에서 분말 시료의 보자력이 673K에서 열처리한 시료까지는 증가하다가 그 이상 열처리한 시료에서는 감소하였으며, 포화자화는 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 계속 증가하였다. 그러나 박막 시료는 873K에서 열처리한 경우 보자력이 1.084kOe이었으나 1073K에서 열처리한 시료의 경우 0.540kOe로 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 보자력이 오히려 감소하였다.

Hot ductility behavior of precipitation-hardened low-carbon iron alloys containing 0.02 wt% Ti and 0.05 wt% Nb was characterized by a hot tensile stress test. Carbon (0.05, 0.1, 0.25 wt%) and boron (0.002 wt%) contents were varied to study the effect of precipitates on the high-temperature embrittlement of the alloys in the temperature range of $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Ductility loss was observed at $700^{\circ}C$ for the tested alloys. The cause of the ductility loss was mainly attributed to the carbides and ferrite films formed at the grain boundaries during deformation. Although the carbon content tended to raise the total fraction of Nb (C, N), the precipitates were formed mostly in the grain interior as the precipitation temperature was raised above the deformation temperature by the high carbon content. Hence, carbon in excess suppressed the hot ductility loss. Meanwhile, boron addition improved the hot ductility of the alloys. The improvement is likely due to the boron atoms capturing carbon atoms and thus retarding the carbide formation.
