The objective of this investigation is to develop an efficient method to generate and measure torsional waves in non-ferromagnetic waveguides by using magnetostrictive transducers. In existing methods using a nickel strip that is attached circumferentially to the test specimen such as aluminum pipes, large current input to the magnetostrictive transducer often generates undesired wave modes in addition to desired torsional wave. However, we propose an improved method to generate the torsional waves without being accompanied by other undesirable wave modes regardless of the input current magnitude. The specific transducer configuration and its performance will be presented in the present investigation.

Periodic magnetic nanodot arrays were successfully produced on glass substrates by interference laser lithography and electron beam lithography methods. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) observation was carried out on fabricated nanodot arrays. MFM tip induced magnetization effects were clearly observed in ferromagnetic elliptical nanodots varying in material and aspect ratio. Fe-Cr dots with a high aspect ratio show reversible switching of the single domain magnetization state. At the same time, Co nanomagnets with a low aspect ratio exhibit tip induced transitions between the single domain and the vortex state of magnetization. The simple nanolithography is potentially an efficient method for fabrication of patterned magnetic arrays.

Although the rotation angle and its spectrum of the magneto-optical Kerr effect are physical quantities determined inherently by the material itself, we found that they can widely be designed by utilizing a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a ferromagnetic defect layer. By suitable choice of the film structure, the rotation angle at a designated narrow wavelength is resonantly enhanced up to as several hundred times larger as ordinary rotation angle of the magnetic. This is originated by the localization of light at the magnetic layer inside the film.

For predicting magnetic signals due to the remanent magnetization distributed on a ferromagnetic ship hull, this paper presents an efficient methodology for solving inverse problems, where the material sensitivity analysis based on the continuum mechanics is combined with the equivalent magnetic models. To achieve this, the 3D magnetic charge model and the magnetic dipole moment model are introduced and material sensitivity formulae applicable to each equivalent model are derived. The formulae offer the first-order gradient information of an objective function with respect to the variation of the magnetic charge or magnetic dipole and so an optimal solution can be easily obtained regardless of the number of design variables. To validate the proposed method, the numerical results are comparison with the real measurements of a mock-up model.

In this study, we have fabricated magnetoresistive sensors of $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$ cross type by trilayer structure of antiferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic. The magnetic signal and magnetic domain of this sensor is measured. The sensor hysteresis loop is not in symmetrical at 0 Oe. This is may be due to the exchange coupling between ferromagnetic layer and anti ferromagnetic layer. This exchange bias value is 20 Oe. The sensor signal is measured at between the applied magnetic field and current. The sensor signal is measured between the applied magnetic field and current at $20^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ angles. The sensitivity of sensor signals is $20{\mu}V/Oe$ and $7{\mu}V/Oe$ at $20^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ angles, respectively. In addition, this sensor is also applied for the detection of magnetic bacteria at $20^{\circ}$ angle. From these results, we calculate the stray field of single bacteria is to be $5{\times}10^{-5}$Oe.

Currently in increasing number of urban tunnels with small overburden are excavated according to the principle of the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). Successful design, construction and maintenance of NATM tunnel demands prediction, control and monitoring of ground displacement and support stress high accuracy. A magnetic anisotropy sensor is used for nondestructive measurement of stress on surfaces of a ferromagnetic material, such as steel. The sensor is built on the principle of the magneto-strictive effect in which changes in magnetic permeability due to deformation of a ferromagnetic material is measured in a nondestructive manner, which then can be translated into the absolute values of stresses existing on the surface of the material. This technique was applied to measure stresses of H-beams, used as tunnel support structures, to confirm expected measurement accuracy with reading error of about 10 to 20 MPa, which was confirmed by monitoring strains released during cutting tests The results show that this method could be one of the promising technologies for non-destructive stress measurement for safe construction and maintenance of underground rock structures encountered in civil and mining engineering.

We measured the microwave permeability in the frequency range of 100 MHz$\sim$9 GHz in the exchange biased CoFe/MnIr films. The results were analyzed based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory. The initial permeability and ferromagnetic resonance frequency was tuned by controlling the CoFe thickness and unidirectional anisotropy. The tunable range of ferromagnetic resonance frequency was up to 20 GHz in the thin CoFe layer of 1.5 nm. The CoFe/MnIr films showed the high permeability and low loss properties in the microwave frequency range. Thus, this material could be applied to the microwave devices.

The magnetic nondestructive test can be applied to evaluate the magnetic material characteristics and the fracture properties through the internal defects of SA-508 used in the pressure vessels of the nuclear power plants as the direct and accurate in-situ testing methods. The fracture toughness, yield strength and the stress distribution around the defects in the surface and sub-surface of magnetic materials can be directly estimated by Bark-hausen noise(BN) methods as NDT. The testing process of SA-508 by Barkhausen noise method was advanced by controlling the austenizing peak temperature and the time of maintenance at a constant austenizing peak temperature, therefore causing the variation of fracture toughness. Through above process. we can evaluate the variations of effective grain size and the correlation of effective grain size and FATT at each situation. And the stress distribution around the defects can be quantified nondestructively through Barkhausen method.

Complex oxide heterointerfaces have been extensively explored in the past due to the novel phenomenon emerging at such interfaces that differ from their individual bulk counterparts. The integration of a ferromagnetic (FM) material with the superconducting (SC) material leading to proximity effect is one of the commonly studied phenomenon in these heterostructures. In continuation, we have stabilized the FM layer La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) on SC material YBa2Cu3O7-${\delta}$ (YBCO) using pulsed laser deposition technique and explored the structural, magnetic, electrical and magneto-transport properties of this heterostructure. ${\Phi}$-scan measurements confirm the epitaxial nature of LCMO/YBCO heterostructure grown on single crystalline SrTiO3 substrate. The FM transition of LCMO and SC transition of YBCO are observed in the magnetization measurements of the bilayer structure. Through electrical measurements, we understood that the proximity effect leads to lowering of the SC transition of YBCO. The role of interface in the bilayer structure is also realized through electrical transport measurements.
