The LT-MBE (low temperature molecular beam epitaxy) allows to dope GaAs with Mn over its solubility limit. A 75 urn thick GaMnAs layers are grown on a low temperature grown LT-GaAs buffer layer at a substrate temperature of $260^{\circ}C$ by varying Mn contents ranged from 0.03 to 0.05. The typical growth rate for GaMnAs layer is fixed at 0.97 $\mu\textrm{m}$/h and the V/III ratio is varied from 25 to 34. The electrical and magnetic properties are investigated by Hall effect and superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) measurements, respectively. Double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXRD) is also performed to investigate the crystallinity of GaMnAs layers. The $T_{c}$ of the $Ga_{l-x}$ /$Mn_{x}$ As films grown by LT-MBE are enhanced from 38 K to 65 K as x increases from 0.03 into 0.05 whereas the $T_{c}$ becomes lower to 45 K when the V/III ratio increases up to 34 at the same composition of x=0.05. This means that the ferromagnetic exchange coupling between Mn-ion and a hole is affected by the growth condition of the enhanced V/III ratio in which the excess-As and As-antisite defects may be easily incorporated into GaMnAs layer.

We have studied magnetic properties of Co/Pt multilayered films which have attracted great interest as high-density magneto-optical (MO) recording media due to their good MO properties. For this study, [Pt(45 )/Co(35 )]$\times$8 films were deposited with a Pt buffer layer of 60 on Si(100) substrate by alternating electron-beam evaporation in a high vacuum and were ion beam mixed by using 80keV Ar+ at 25$0^{\circ}C$. Especially, an external magnetic field was added to help changing magnetic property during ion beam mixing (IBM). The intermixing of Co and Pt layers after IBM was confirmed with Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The MO property of the film was measured with magneto-optical Kerr spectrometer and the change of magnetic easy axis in the film plane was observed from Ker loop data. This anomalous result might be correlated with the change of atomic structure due to the intermixing effect.

SrTiO₃ (STO) thin fims were deposited on the biaxially textured Ni-3 wt%W alloy substrates to be used as a single buffer layer for YBa₂CU₃O/sub 7-8/(YBCO) coated conductor. Thin films of YBCO and STO were deposited using pulsed laser. The deposition condition for epitaxial growth of STO on the textured metal was identified, and YBCO coated conductor with a single STO buffer layer with critical current density of 1.2 MA㎠ at 77 K under zero magnetic field and critical temperature of 86 K, was fabricated.

The dependence of magnetoresistance (MR) ratio on various variables like the thickness of the second Co layer, on the presence of cap layer, on deposition field (Hdep) and on annealing in Co/Cu/Co sandwiches was investigated. Spin-valve sandwiches were deposited on the corning glass by means of the 3-gun dcmagnetron sputtering at a 5 mTorr partial Ar pressure and room temperature. The deposition field was varied from 70 Oe to 720 Oe. The MR curve was measured by the four-terminal method with applied magnetic field up to 1000 Oe perpendicular to the direction of a current in the film plne. The MR ratio of glass/Fe(50${\AA}$)/Co(17${\AA}$)/Cu(24${\AA}$)/Cot(${\AA}$) fabricated by making 50 ${\AA}$ of Fe buffer layer has the maximum value of 8.2% when the thickness of the second Co layer was 17${\AA}$and the deposition field was 350 Oe. In the case of glass/Fe(50${\AA}$)/Co(17${\AA}$)/Cu(24${\AA}$)/Cot(${\AA}$) with Cu cap layer on top, the decrease in the MR ratio seemed to relate with the oxidation of the second Co layer. Samples prepared with deposition field showed greater MR ratios through the formation of more complete spin valve films. After annealing for 2 hours at 300$^{\circ}C$, the MR ratio of the samples prepared with deposition field decreased rapidly while the MR raito of the sample prepared without the field remained.

We present the epitaxial growth of high-quality ZnO layers by chemical vapor transport (CVT) technique on (01-12) sapphire with a ZnO buffer layer growth by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The surface of the grown ZnO epitaxial layers has atomically flats and the RMS is 0.11 nm. PL spectrum of as-grown samples exhibits two emissions originated by interactions between photon and free excitons.

NAND-type flash memory is becoming increasingly popular as a large data storage for mobile computing devices. Since flash memory is an order of magnitude more expensive than magnetic disks, data compression can be effectively used in managing flash memory based storage systems. However, compressed data management in NAND-type flash memory is challenging because it supports only page-based I/Os. For example, when the size of compressed data is smaller than the page size. internal fragmentation occurs and this degrades the effectiveness of compression seriously. In this paper, we present an efficient flash compression layer (FCL) for NAND-type flash memory which stores several small compressed pages into one physical page by using a write buffer Based on prototype implementation and simulation studies, we show that the proposed scheme offers the storage of flash memory more than $140\%$ of its original size and expands the write bandwidth significantly.

$Buffer/[NiFe/Cu/CoFe(Co)/Cu]_N$ spin valve multilayers prepared by dc magnetron sputtering on a corning glass substrate using NiFe and CoFe(Co) posses different coercivities. Dependence of magnetoresistance on the type and thickness of buffer layer, thickness of Cu, NiFe, stacking number of multilayer, substrate temperature and annealing temperature in the form $[NiFe/Cu/CoFe(Co)/Cu]_N$ spin-valve multilayers were investigated. To evaluate effect of magnetoresistance for this samples, X-ray diffraction analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer analysis, and magnetoresistance measurement (4-probe method) were performed the maximum magnetoresistance ratio and coercivity were 7.5 % and 140 Oe, respectively for $Cr-50{\AA}/[NiFe-20{\AA}/Cu-{\AA}/Co-20{\AA}/Cu-50{\AA}]_10$ at substrate temperature of 9$0^{\circ}C$. Magnetoresistance slope maintained 0.25%/Oe until 15$0^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature, and then decreased to 0.03%/Oe at 20$0^{\circ}C$. It was confirmed that the main factor of thermal stability was deteriorating of soft magnetic properties in the NiFe layer.

This paper deals with an efficient superconducting joint method between 2G high superconducting(HTS) wire, YBCO coated conductor(CC). Recently CC is one of the most promising superconducting wire due to high n-value and critical current independency from external magnetic field. It is expected to be used many superconducting application such as fault current limiter, persistent current system and cable etc. In most HTS applications, superconducting magnet is used, and it is necessary to joint between superconducting wire to fabricate superconducting magnet system. A CC tape used in this research consists of copper stabilizer, silver layer, YBCO layer, buffer and substrate. Direct joint using soldering method was inefficient due to resistance of copper, then copper lamination is removed by chemical etching method to reduce resistance between CC tapes. Jointed tapes were fabricated and tested. Transport current through jointed area and induced voltage were measured to characterize the I-V curve. Resistance between CC wire using chemical etching was compared with resistance of direct jointed tapes using soldering method in this paper.
