In this article, magnetic properties of multiferroic bi-layer $BiFeO_3$ (BFO)/$BaTiO_3$ (BTO) thin films were studied. It was found that the magnetization increased by the insertion of BTO buffer layer even though the interfacial stress was slightly relaxed, which indicated a coupling between the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders. Furthermore, with slightly increase of BFO film thickness, both BFO and BFO/BTO bi-layer films showed anisotropic magnetic properties with higher in-plane magnetization than the values measured out-of-plane. These are attributable to strain constraint effect at the interface.

강자성체인 철과 니켈의 박막에서 전류와 자기장이 이루는 각도의 변화에 따른 자기저항의 변화를 관찰하였다. 경사각에 따른 PMR과 NMR의 크기가 같은 ${\phi}_{mix}$의 변화는 전류에 수직한 자기장의 성분과 평행한 자기장의 성분이 같게 되는 각도에서 자기저항 루프의 역전이 되는 것을 이용하면 ${\phi}_{mix}=tan^{-1}(1+tan{\theta})$와 같이 구해진다. 위 관계식은 실험치와 잘 일치함을 보여준다. 반면에 철박막의 경우에는 니켈박막과 자화축이 다르게 나타나서 ${\phi}_{mix}$가 위 식으로 주어진 관계와 일치하지 않는다.

FeM2X4 spinel structures, where M is a transition metal and X is oxygen or sulfur, are candidate materials for spin filters, one of the key devices in spintronics. Both the Fe and M ions can occupy tetrahedral and octahedral sites; therefore, these types of compounds can display various physical and chemical properties [1]. On the other hand, the electronic and magnetic properties of these spinel structures could be modified via the control of cation distribution [2, 3]. Among the spinel oxides, iron manganese oxide is one of promising materials for applications. FeMn2O4 shows inverse spinel structure above 390 K and ferrimagnetic properties below the temperature [4]. In this work, we report on the structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial FeMn2O4 thin film on MgO(100) substrate. The reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that films were epitaxially grown on MgO(100) without the impurity phases. The valance states of Fe and Mn in the FeMn2O4 film were carried out using x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), indicating that the samples are ferromagnetic at room temperature. The structural detail and origin of magnetic ordering in FeMn2O4 will be discussed.

Crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of CoCr-based magnetic thin film for perpendicular magnetic recording media were influenced on preparing conditions. In these, there is that substrate temperature was parameter that increases perpendicular coercivity of CoCrTa magnetic layer using recording layer. While preparation of CoCr-based doublelayer, by optimizing substrate temperature, we expect to increase perpendicular anisotropy of CoCr magnetic layer and prepare ferromagnetic recording layer with a good quality by epitaxial growth. CoCrTa/Si doublelayer showed a good dispersion angle of c-axis orientation $\Delta\theta_{50}$ caused by inserting amorphous Si underlayer which prepared at underlayer substrate temperature 250C. Perpendicular coercivity was constant, in-plane coercivity was controlled a low value about 200Oe. This result implied that Si underlayer could restrain growth of initial layer of CoCrTa thin film, which showed bad magnetic properties effectively without participating magnetization patterns of magnetic layer. In case of CoCrTa/Si that prepared with ultra thin underlayer, crystalline orientation of CoCrTa was improved rather underlayer thickness 1nm, it was expected that amorphous Si layer played a important role in not only underlayer but also seed layer.

Fe를 상하지층으로 증착하였을 때 자기저항은 9.5 %dptj 11 %로 증가하였고 포화자기장은 2.8 kOe에서 1.8 kOe로 개선되었다. 300 .angs. 이하의 합금박막에 강자성 상하지층의 피복은 교환결합에 의하여 합금박막의 포화자기장을 감소시키는 효과가 있었다. 강자성 상하지층에 의한 자기저항의 증가는 표면에서의 전도전자의 스핀 전도산란의 감소와 계면저항에 의한 전류새흐름의 감소로 기인되는 것으로 보인다. 자기저항의 증가 효과는 합금박막의 두께가 약 300 .angs. 이하에서 나타났다. 교환결합 강자성체인 NiFe 그리고 Fe 중에서 Fe가 교환결합에 의한 포화자기장 감소에 좀더 효과적이었다.

The physical origin of complex dynamic domain configuration in nonequilibrium magnetic systems with mesoscopic length scales has been studied. An increasing complexity in the spatial feature of the evolution is found to accompany the increasing reversal speed, when a ferromagnetic element is driven by progressively faster switching fields applied antiparallel to the initial magnetization direction. As reversal rates approach the characteristic precession frequencies of spin fluctuations, the thermal energy can boost the magnetization into local configurations which are completely different from those experienced during quasistatic reversal. The sensitive dependence of the spatial pattern on switching speed can be understood in terms of a dynamic exchange interaction of thermally excited spins; the coherent modulation of the spins is strongly dependent on the rise time of switching pulses.

We present the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties in the (Al,Mn)N films with various Mn concentrations grown by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the (Al,Mn)N films have the wurtzite structure without secondary phases. All (Al,Mn)N films showed the ferromagnetic ordering. Particularly, ($Al_{1-x}Mn_{x}$)N film with x = 0.028 exhibited the highest magnetic moment per Mn atom at room temperature. Since all the films exhibit the insulating characteristics, the origin of ferromagnetism in (Al,Mn)N might be attributed to either indirect exchange interaction caused by virtual electron excitations from Mn acceptor level to the valence band within the samples or a percolation of bound magnetic polarons arisen from exchange interaction of localized carriers with magnetic impurities in a low carrier density regime.

We have investigated magneto-transport properties in a MoS2 lateral spin-valve structures for different ferromagnetic CoFe electrode shapes and MoS2 channel lengths. For these devices, high quality and large-scale MoS2 thin films were synthesized through sulfurization of epitaxial MoO3 films and these sulfurized-MoO3 thin films properties are in good agreements with measurements on exfoliated MoS2 film. Magneto-transport measurements show a clear rectangular magnetoresistance signal of 0.16% and a spin polarization of 0.00012%. By using the one-dimensional spin diffusion equation, we extracted the spin diffusion length and coefficient, finding them to be 12 nm and $1.44{\times}10-3cm2/s$, respectively. These small values of magnetoresistance and spin polarization could be enhanced by appeasement of conductivity mismatch between the ferromagnet and semiconductor interface.

$BiFeO_3$ films grown on (111) $SrTiO_3$ substrate have a rhombohedral structure, identical to that of single crystals. On the other hand, films grown on (110) or (001) $SrTiO_3$ substrate are monoclinically distorted from the rhombohedral structure due to the epitaxial constraint. The easy axis of spontaneous polarization is close to [111] for the variously oriented films. Dramatically enhanced polarization and magnetization have been found for hetero-epitaxially grown $BiFeO_3$ thin films comparing to that of $BiFeO_3$ crystals. The results are explained in terms of an epitaxially-induced transition between cycloidal and homogeneous spin states, via magneto-electric interactions.

For heat-assisted magnetic recording, magnetization reversal probabilities of nano-Pt/MnSb multilayer film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy under thermal pulse activation were investigated numerically by solving the Landau-Lifshift Gilbert Equation. Magnetic parameters of nano-Pt/MnSb multilayer were used with anisotropy energy of $3{\times}10^5$ erg/cc and saturation magnetization of 2100 G, which offer more than 10 y data stability at room temperature. Scheme of driven magnetic field and thermal pulse on writing mechanism was designed closely to real experiment. This study found that the chosen material is potential to be used as a high density magnetic storage that requires low writing field less than two-hundreds Oersted through definite heating and cooling interval. The possibility of writing data with a zero driven magnetic field also became an important result. Further study is recommended on the thickness of media and thermal pulse design as the essential parameters of the reversal magnetization.
