We have investigated magnetic properties of monolayer (ML)-thickness Co film deposited on InP(2${\times}$4) reconstruction surface using in situ Surface Magneto-Optical Kerr Effects (SMOKE) measurement system. InP(2${\times}$4) reconstruction surface, obtained by repeated sputtering and annealing, was confirmed by reflection hish energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) measurements. From both longitudinal and polar SMOKE measurements, we have observed three distinguishable regions showing different magnetic properties depending on the Co thickness. In the Co film thickness smaller than 7 $m\ell$, no SMOKE signal was detected. In the following thickness between 8 $m\ell$ and 15 $m\ell$, both longitudinal and polar Kerr hysteresis loops were observed, which implies a metastable phase coexisted of in-plane and perpendicular anisotropies. In the film thickness larger than 16 $m\ell$, only longitudinal MOKE signal without polar signal was detected, which implies existence of in-plane anisotropy in this thickness region.

Neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) sintered magnets have excellent magnetic properties such as the remanence, coercive force, and the maximum energy product compared to other hard magnetic materials. The coercive force of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets is improved by the addition of heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium and terbium instead of neodymium. Then, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets increases. However, additional elements have increased the production cost of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets. Hence, a study on the control of the microstructure of Nd-Fe-B magnets is being conducted. As the coercive force of magnets improves, the grain size of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grain is close to 300 nm because they are nucleation-type magnets. In this study, fine particles of Nd-Fe-B are prepared with various grinding energies in the pulverization process used for preparing sintered magnets, and the microstructure and magnetic properties of the magnets are investigated.

Melt-spun $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_4B_6$ and $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_2Zr_{1.5}B_7$ ribbons were prepared under an externally applied magnetic field. Magnetic properties in terms of anisotropy were evaluated by discussing the effect of textured structure of the ribbon samples as well as its powders. About 32 % increase in $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$ and 18.8 % increase in $B_r$ were observed along the perpendicular direction of the ribbon plane which is more prominent for the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B than for the Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy. The enhancement of magnetic anisotropy was monitored by measuring the anisotropy constant of each alloy as a function of quenching rate of the ribbon. It was found that for the melt-spun ribbon quenched at slow rate(less than 7 m/s) the magnetic field effect was overwhelmed by the heat gradient effect through the ribbon thickness while the field effect was prominent at intermediate quenching rate (more than 7~11 m/s). The reproducible maximum energy product, $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$=16.4 MGOe can be obtained from the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B alloy.

Nickel cobalt ferrite($Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$) powder was prepared through the ceramic route by the calcination of a stoichiometric mixture of NiO, CoO and $Fe_2O_3$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. The pressed pellets of $Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ were isothermally reduced in pure hydrogen at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis, the reduction behavior and the kinetic reaction mechanisms of the synthesized ferrite were studied. The initial ferrite powder and the various reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, reflected light microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer to reveal the effect of hydrogen reduction on the composition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the produced Fe-Ni-Co alloy. The arrhenius equation with the approved mathematical formulations for the gas solid reaction was applied to calculate the activation energy($E_a$) and detect the controlling reaction mechanisms. In the initial stage of hydrogen reduction, the reduction rate was controlled by the gas diffusion and the interfacial chemical reaction. However, in later stages, the rate was controlled by the interfacial chemical reaction. The nature of the hydrogen reduction and the magnetic property changes for nickel cobalt ferrite were compared with the previous result for nickel ferrite. The microstructural development of the synthesized Fe-Ni-Co alloy with an increase in the reduction temperature improved its soft magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization($M_s$) and by decreasing the coercivity($H_c$). The Fe-Ni-Co alloy showed higher saturation magnetization compared to Fe-Ni alloy.

Absorption characteristics of 2-methylpiperidine (2MPD), 3-methylpiperidine (3MPD) and 4-methylpiperidine (4MPD) absorbents were studied by a vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) apparatus and a differential reaction calorimeter (DRC). Using a VLE apparatus, the $CO_2$ loading capacity of each absorbent was estimated. After reaching the absorption equilibrium, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) had been conducted to characterize the species distribution of the ($H_2O$-piperidine-$CO_2$) system. Using a DRC, the reaction of heat was confirmed in accordance with the absorption capacity. The unique characteristics of 2MPD, 3MPD and 4MPD absorbents appeared by the position of methyl group. The 2MPD possessing the methyl group at the ortho position showed its hindrance effect during the absorption process; however, piperidine derivatives possessing the meta position and para position did not show its characteristics in $H_2O$-piperidine-$CO_2$ system.

The laser patterning of sputter-deposited CoNdZr/Cu/CoNbZr multi-layered films had been tried using Nd:YAG laser. However generally it is very difficult to remove metal films because of their high reflectance of the laser on the surfaces. As a counterproposal for this problem authors for the first time tried to deposit energy-absorbing layers on the metal films and then irradiated the laser on the surfaces of energy-absorbing layers. Here the energy-absorbing layers consisted of laser energy-absorbing fine powders and binding polymers. Three kinds of powders for the energy-absorbing layers had been used to see the difference in the pattern formation with the degree of laser energy absorption. They were electrically conductive silver powders insulating BaTiO$_3$powder and semiconducting carbon powder. Remarkable difference in width of the formed pattern and the roughness of pattern edge were observed with the characteristic of the powder for the energy-absorbing layer. The pattern width using carbon paste was about three times larger than that using BaTiO$_3$paste. It was observed that the energy-absorbing layer with carbon was the most effective on this micro-patterning.

We have fabricated a magnetic micro-deflector for a microcolumn system and tested its performance by operating it in the low energy region. The micro-deflector is composed of Cu coils around cylindrical cores with $500{\mu}m$ diameter. The diameter of the Cu coil itself is $100{\mu}m$. Two pairs of deflectors designed for a 2-dimensional scan, that is X and Y deflection, are fixed on an insulating plate. The low power performance of a magnetic micro-deflector attached to a microcolumn system has been tested and the magnitude of deflection is measured to be ${\sim}100{\mu}m/A$, which offers the possibility for practical applications of the magnetic micro-deflector.

In this paper, we address the development of magnetic levitation positioning system. This planar magnetic levitator employs four permanent magnet liner motors. Each motor generates vertical force for suspension against gravity, as well as horizontal force for driving levitation object called a platen. This stage can generate six degrees of freedom motion by the vertical and horizontal force. We derived the mechanical dynamics equation using Lagrangian method and used coenergy to express an electromagnetic force. We proposed a control algorithm for the position and posture control from its initial value to its desired value using sliding mode control. Some simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
