A sample of YBa2Cu3O7-x fluorinated by a high temperature (400$^{\circ}C$) gas exchange technique has been investigated by means of 19F NMR (nuclear magneti resonance) measurements in both superconducting and normal state. As a result, behaviors characteristic of the superconductor, including a peculiarity in the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) around 250 K, were observed.

Recently, artificially modulated magnetic multilayer materials, for examples giant magnetoresistant magnetic head materials and magneto-optic recording materials in the wavelength of a blue laser beam, attract great attention in the electronics industry due to their unique properties derived from the modulated multilayer structure. Since the multilayer structure as well as amorphous structure, is non-equilibrium state in terms of free energy, an assessment of the thermal staibility in the multilayer structure is crucially importnat both for basic research and applications. In this review paper, effective microscopic interdiffusion process in the two dimensional multilayer structure will be described in terms of steep concentration gradient effect, strain effect and magnetic transition effect.

We have studied magnetostructural phase transitions in the perovskite-type layered structure compound (C18H37NH3)2 MnCl4 by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements. Distinct slopes were observed in the linear temperature dependences of the Mn++ EPR linewidth in the low and high temperature phases. Besides, linewidth anomalies at the transition temperatures sensitively reflect the magnetic changes arising from the MnCl6 octahedra.

A review of mechanical sensing techniques based on magnetic methods is presented, with special reference to magnetoelastic strain gauges and force sensors. A novel strain sensor based on soft amorphous ribbons is described. Other types of magnetic sensors, for the measurement of torque and displacement are briefly discussed. An overview of magnetic actuators based on giant magnetostrictive materials, with some practical examples, is presented. Recent advances in the development and application of magnetic shape memory materials are discussed, together with the analysis of recent studies for the description of magnetic shape memory phenomena.

We studied the magnetic properties of $TmFe_2O_4$. The magnetization measurements revealed the magnetic ordering of Fe spins at around 240 K. The difference between zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) magnetization was close to the thermoremanent magnetization (TRM), indicating the glass behavior exhibited by this material.

A portable HTS RF SQUID-based system, weighing less than 20 kg has been built for susceptometry applications in weak magnetic fields, It includes a YBCO sensor for measuring the axial magnetic field component with a resolution of about $7{\times}10^{-13} T/Hz^{1/2}.$ This is determined by the intrinsic magnetic noise in the quasi-white noise region. There is a relaxation for a sudden increase in field due to magnetic flux creep in HTS. In this instance the time did not exceed 3~5 minutes.

In this paper a structurally coupled and magnetically decoupled Ba-ferrite thin film medium is proposed to evade the superparamagnetic limit and reduce media noise. The proposed medium consists of ferrimagnetic Ba-ferrite nano-grains (< 10 nm) and a non-magnetic grain boundary material. Magnetic grains are crystallographically matched with the grain boundary material. Spherical or cubic shaped Ba-ferrite particle is also proposed for above 100 Kfci particulate recording application.

This paper presents a non-destructive evaluation study on a radiator with cooling fins as a complex shaped specimen. Radiator structures are used in various heat exchangers, such as automobiles, air conditioners and refrigerators. An eddy current testing method, namely multi-frequency excitation and spectrogram method (MFES), was employed to detect a defect on the radiator tube surrounded by cooling fins. Overall, experimental results suggested that the influence of cooling fin is not as noticeable as that of the defect signals.

Synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) are used as free layer structures for various magnetic devices utilizing spintransfer torque (STT). Therefore, it is important to understand current-induced excitation of SAFs. By means of drift-diffusion and macrospin models, we studied the current-induced excitation of a SAF-free layer structure (NiFe/Ru/NiFe). The simulation results were compared with the previous experimental results [N. Smith et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 247205 (2008)]. We confirmed that a nonzero STT through the Ru layer is essential for explaining the experimental results.

High-coercive garnet films have certain parameters suitable for creating reconfigurable magnetic atomic chips with visible geometry. However, the inner stresses and morphological properties, namely, networks of dislocations, layering and surface relief, and dependence of coercivity on thickness must be taken into account. Select features of films important for atomic trap creation have been studied experimentally and the supposed traps concept provided.
