Some polycrystalline ferromagnetic mms are composed of continuously connected nanometer scale islands with random crystallite orientations. The nanometer perturbations of the mm introduce a large number of nearly degenerate local field configurations that are indistiguishable on a macroscopic scale. As a first step, this situation is modelled as a thin ferromagnetic disc coupled by exchange and dipole interactions to a homogeneous ferromagnetic plane, where the disc and plane have different easy axes. The model is solved to find the partial $N\acute{e}el$ domain walls that minimize the magnetic energy. The two solutions give a bistable configuration that, for appropriate geometries, provides an important microsopic ferromagnetic degree of freedom for the mm. These results are used to interpret recent measurements of exchange biased bilayer films.

Bacillus cereus can cause blood infections (i.e., sepsis). Its early detection is very important for treating patients. However, an antibody with high binding affinity to B. cereus is not currently available. Bacteriophage cell wall-binding domain (CBD) has strong and specific binding affinity to B. cereus. Here, we report the improvement in the sensitivity of an ATP bioluminescence assay for B. cereus detection using CBD-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (CBD-MNPs). The assay was able to detect as few as 10 colony forming units (CFU) per mL and $10^3CFU\;per\;mL$ in buffer and blood. CBD-MNPs did not show any cross-reactivity with other microorganisms. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the ATP assay for the detection of B. cereus.

Novel soft magnetic materials can be achieved by altering material properties such as morphology, composition, crystallinity, and grain size of soft magnetic alloys. Especially, magnetic properties (i.e., saturation magnetization, coarcivity) of soft magnetics are significantly affected by grain boundaries which act as a control of magnetic domain wall movement. Thus, we herein develop a two-step electroless plating method to control morphology and grain size of FeCo films for excellent magnetic properties. Accordingly, the chemical composition to control the degree of polarization of FeCo alloys was altered by electroless deposition parameters; for example, electrolyte concentration and temperature. The grain size and crystallinity of FeCo alloys was dramatically affected by the reaction temperature because the grain growth mechanism dominantly occurs at $90^{\circ}C$ where as the neucleation only happens at $50^{\circ}C$. By simply controlling the temperature, the micron-sized FeCo grains embedded FeCo film was synthesized where the large grains allow high magnetization originated from larger magnetic domain with low corecivity and the nano-sized grains allow excellent soft magnetic properties due to the magnetic correlation length.

In this paper, We study on the fabrication of amorphous this film of zeromagnetostriction material and the magnetic properties. This films are fabricated by using sputtering method with input power of 400∼607[W], Ar gas pressure of 3∼ 9[mTorr] and target composition of Fe$\sub$4.7/ Co$\sub$74.3/Si$_2$B$\sub$19/. Sample this films with diameter of 14[mm ] and thickness of 27-30[$\mu\textrm{m}$] were obtained through experiments. When we analyzed the magnetic properties before and after annealing with sample thin films, we confirmed that magnetic domain wall amorphous thin films consisted for Neel magnetic domain wall with the width of about 1[$\mu\textrm{m}$].

The dominant magnetization reversal behavior of electrodeposited CoPt samples with various thicknesses deposited at different current densities was the domain wall motion by means of wall pinning. The magnetic interaction mechanism was dipolar interaction for all samples. The dipolar interaction strength was significantly affected by the sample thickness rather than by the current density, while the magnetic properties were closely related to the current density.

Mn doped ZnO films were prepared on Si (100) substrates using sol-gel method. The prepared films were annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ for decomposition and oxidation of the precursors. XRD analysis revealed the presence of ZnMnO hexagonal wurtzite phase along with the presence of small quantity of $ZnMn_2O_3$ secondary phase and poor crystalline nature. The 2D, 3D views of magnetic domains and domain profiles were obtained using magnetic force microscopy at room temperature. Rectangular shaped domains with an average size of 4.16 nm were observed. Magnetic moment measurement as a function of magnetic field was measured using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry at room temperature. The result showed the ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with a curie temperature higher than 300 K.

Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) was used to image the surface magnetic domain structure of the 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick 3% Si-Fe sheet. The thin-gauged 3% Si-Fe strips with magnetic induction ($B_{10}$) from 1.98 to 1.57 Tesla were prepared via conventional metallurgical processes including melting, hot-and cold-rolling, intermediate annealing and final annealing. Using SEMPA, it was observed that the $B_{10}$ (1.98 T) Tesla sample was almost composed of 180$^{\circ}$ stripe domains which are parallel to rolling direction. On the other hand the 3% Si-Fe sheet with $B_{10}$ (1.57 T) Tesla was composed of large 180$^{\circ}$stripe domains that are slanted about 30$^{\circ}$to the rolling direction and complex magnetic domain structures like tree and zigzag pattern. The 180$^{\circ}$stripe domains, which covered a major part of the sample, had (110)<001> Goss texture parallel to the rolling direction. The domain walls between 180$^{\circ}$stripe domains were the conventional Bloch type walls. On the other hand, the 90$^{\circ}$domains, which covered minor part on edge of the sample, were observed in (200) grains. The domain walls between 90$^{\circ}$domains were the Neel type walls. In high magnification, the elliptical singularity at the Neel walls was clearly observed.

Human Tid1, belonging to the family of the Hsp40/DnaJ, functions as a co-chaperone of cytosolic and mitochondrial Hsp70 proteins. In addition, the conserved J-domain and G/F-rich region of Tid1 has been suggested to interact with the p53 tumor suppressor protein, to translocate it to the mitochondria. Here, backbone NMR assignments were achieved for the putative p53-binding domain of Tid1. The obtained chemical shift information identified five ${\alpha}$-helices including four helices characteristic of J-domain, which are connected to a short ${\alpha}$-helix in the G/F-rich region via a flexible loop region. We expect that this structural information would contribute to our progressing studies to elucidate atomic structure and molecular interaction of the domain with p53.

Tid1, belonging to the Hsp40/DnaJ family of proteins, functions as a cochaperone of cytosolic and mitochondrial Hsp70 proteins. In particular, the N-terminal J-domain of Tid1 (Tid1-JD) constitutes the major binding sites for proteinprotein interactions with client proteins, including p53, as well as its partner chaperone, Hsp70. In the present study, soluble, recombinant protein of Tid1-JD could be obtained by using the pCold vector system, and backbone NMR assignments were completed using the isotope $[^{13}C/^{15}N]$-enriched protein. Far-UV CD result implied that Tid1-JD is an ${\alpha}$-helical protein and the secondary structure determined using chemical shift data sets indentified four ${\alpha}$-helices with a loop region containing the HPD (conserved tripeptide of His, Pro and Asp) motif. Additionally, NMR spectra under different conditions implied that the HPD motif, which is a critical region for protein-protein interactions of Tid1-JD, would possess dynamic properties.

Amorphous FeBSiNb alloy ribbons having bulk glass forming ability and high saturation magnetic flux density were produced by single-roller melt spinning apparatus in the thickness range of 22∼102㎛. With the increase of thickness, the coercive force and squareness ratio decreased, while maximum permeability and AC permeability increased. However electrical resistivity was almost constant. Furthermore refined and complex magnetic domain structure was observed in thicker ribbons owing to the change in internal magnetic anisotropy. For the alloy with the thickness of 81㎛, small coercive force of 24 mOe and high effective permeability of 12,000 at 1㎑ were obtained, those are considered to be better comparing to the conventional soft magnetic amorphous alloys (∼20 ㎛). The good soft magnetic properties of the thick FeBSiNb amorphous alloys were attributed to the decrease in surface pinning effect during wall motion, appearance of perpendicular anisotropy and resulted domain refinement.
