Transverse magnetic field annealing (TFA) was carried out on $Fe_{73.5}Cu_1Nb_3Si_{15.5}B_7$ nano-crystalline magnetic core with the aim at decreasing coercivity ($H_c$) while keeping high inductance ($L_s$). The magnetic field generated by direct current (DC) was applied on the magnetic core during different selected annealing stages and it was proved that the nanocrystalline magnetic core achieved lowest $H_c$ when applying transverse field during the whole annealing process (TFA1). Although the microstructure and crystallization degree of the nanocrystalline magnetic core exhibited no obvious difference after TFA1 compared to no field annealing, the TFA1 sample showed a more uniform nanostructure with a smaller mean square deviation of grain size distribution. $H_c$ of the nanocrystalline magnetic core annealed under TFA1 decreased along with the increasing magnetic field. As a result, the certain size nanocrystalline magnetic core with low $H_c$ of 0.6 A/m, low core loss (W at 20 kHz) of 1.6 W/kg under flux density of 0.2 T and high $L_s$ of $13.8{\mu}H$ were obtained after TFA1 with the DC intensity of 140 A. The combination of high $L_s$ with excellent magnetic properties promised this nanocrystalline alloy an outstanding economical application in high frequency transformers.

In this parer, we present a real-time path planning algorithm which is integrated the artificial potential field(APF) and simulated annealing(SA) methods for mobile robot. The APF method in path planning has gained popularity since 1990's. It doesn't need the modeling of the complex configuration space of robot, and is easy to apply the path planning with simple computation. However, there is a major problem with APF method. It is the formation of local minima that can trap the robot before reaching its goal. So, to provide local minima recovery, we apply the SA method. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation.

The NiMn/NiFe bilayer structure which was short time annealed in order to induce unidirectional anisotropy were studied as a function of annealing temperature. The maximum exchange bias field of NiMn/NiFe bilayer was presented at $250^{\circ}C$ after short time annealing process with no external field. The appearance of exchange bias was due to phase transformation of NiMn layer. In plane angular dependence of a resonance field distribution which measured by FMR was analysed as a combined effect of unidirectional anisotropy and uniaxial anisotropy. The resonance field and the line width from FMR measurement were also analysed with annealing temperature.

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to optimization algorithm which is a distributed Mean field Genetic algorithm (MGA) implemented in MPI(Message Passing Interface) environments. Distributed MGA is a hybrid algorithm of Mean Field Annealing(MFA) and Simulated annealing-like Genetic Algorithm(SGA). The proposed distributed MGA combines the benefit of rapid convergence property of MFA and the effective genetic operations of SGA. The proposed distributed MGA is applied to the channel routing problem, which is an important issue in the automatic layout design of VLSI circuits. Our experimental results show that the composition of heuristic methods improves the performance over GA alone in terms of mean execution time. It is also proved that the proposed distributed algorithm maintains the convergence properties of sequential algorithm while it achieves almost linear speedup as the problem size increases.

The rotation of uniaxial anisotropy field of 700 ${\AA}$ thick sputtered NiFe thin film due to magnetic annealing was investigated. NiFe film was annealed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the initial induced uniaxial anisotropy field. The NiFe film becomes nearly isotropic after 1 hour annealing at 160 $^{\circ}C$. With increase of annealing temperature over 160 $^{\circ}C$, the film gets uniaxial anisotropy field again. An abrupt increase of H$\sub$c/ was observed with annealing temperature over 400 $^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction analysis and Auger electron spectroscopy with Ar ion etching showed extensive grain growth in NiFe film with (111) texturing and interdiffusion with adjacent Au electrode layer by 400 $^{\circ}C$ magnetic annealing.

The effect of field annealing on the velocity changes of magneto surface acoustic wave (MSAW) devices has been investigated for deposited $(Fe_{1-x}Co_x)_{89}Zr_{11}$ (x = 0~1.0) amorphous films. By means of two step field annealing at $195^{\circ}C$ for 10 minute in the magnetic field of 130 Oe, the MSAW device with x=0.4 film among the devices showed the superior velocity change of 0.1 %. This gigantic value was obtained in the DC bias field of 40 Oe at the exciting frequency of 8.7 MHz. It was confirmed that such behavior was due to the variation of differential permeability caused by an optimal stress within the magnetic film.

Effects of annealing and thickness of Co layer in Co/IrMn bilayers on the magnetic properties have been investigated. The highest interfacial exchange coupling energy($J_{K}$ = 0.12 erg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) was obtained for 10 nm Co layer thickness. Exchange bias field is inversely proportional to the magnetization, the thickness of the pinned layer, and the grain size of antiferromagnetic layer. Also it is related to the interfacial exchange energy difference, which is expected to depend on the surface roughness. These results almost agree with the random-field model of exchange anisotropy proposed by Malozemoff. Exchange bias field decreased slowly with increasing annealing temperature up to X$300^{\circ}C$. However, exchange bias field increased above $300^{\circ}C$.

For improving the magnetic properties of the amorphous Fe-B-Si alloy, we annealed the sample in a magnetic field oriented in the plane of the ribbon longitudinal to its long axis. By field annealing, coercive force and total core loss are reduced from 0.04 Oe to 0.02 Oe, and from 0.25 watt/kg to 0.15 watt/kg respectively in comparsion with non-field annealed specimen. These reductions were caused by the formation of 180 dcmain wall parallel to the annealing field due to the induced anisotropy.

By field annealing, coercive force and total core loss are reduced from 0.04 Oe to 0.02 Oe, and from 0.25 watt/kg to 0.15 watt/kg respectively comparing with non-field annealed specimen. These reductions were caused by the formation of $180^{\circ}$ domains parallel to the annealing field due to the induced anisotorpy.

The magneto-impedance (MI) has been measured in the annealed Co66Fe4Ni1B14Si15 amorphous ribbon for the evaluation of anisotropy field. MI at the frequency of 10 MHz is related to the transverse permeability from rotational magnetization depending on the local anisotropy field. MI varies sensitively with the annealing temperature, reflecting the change of anisotropy field distribution. The local anisotropy fields evaluated from MI Profiles are discussed in terms of the magnetic softness and microstructural change by the annealing.
