  • 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.

  • In order to measure fine rotation angles by magneto-optic effects of magneto-optical recording thin films, a polarization modulation method is used. In the experiment, the polarization of laser (He-Ne laser) beam is modulated by a Faraday rotator and the amplified modulated signals are selectively detected by phase sensitive detector. The magnetic Kerr rotation and Faraday rotation hysteresis loops are investigated by this method for thermally evaporated amorphous TbFeCo thin films and RF sputtered garnet thin films. Rotation angles about $0.25^{\circ}$ are measured easily from TaFeCo thin films. In the case of longitudinal Kerr rotation, very small rotation angle of $2.5\times10^{-3^\circ}$ is measured with good accuracy of the measurement (about $1\times10^{-3^\circ}$). And it is found that each thin films have the hysteresis curves of high coercivity and good squareness.

  • We have observed the nonlinear magneto-optic effect(NMOE) based on atomic coherence in $^{87}$ Rb D$_1$-line using the Rb vapor cell containing 50 Torr of Ne. The width of the NMOE signal was measured to be 2$\pi$${\times}$464 Hz, when the peak-to-peak B-field variation was 1 mGauss. The result of this work may be applied to a high-sensitivity magnetometer.

  • The magneto impedance (MI) behaviors of patterned $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwire were investigated with respect to its shape variation. After preparing $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwires using electrodeposition and photolithography methods, impedance measurements were conducted to compare the MI ratios of the devices with different aspect ratios. As a result, the anisotropy field and transverse permeability were found to be strongly affected by the aspect ratio of the device. The external field value at the maximum impedance and maximum sensitivity of the device was found to increase with increasing device width, which was attributed to the increased transverse anisotropy with decreasing aspect ratio. While an increase in the thickness also contributed to an increase in the MI ratio, a variation in the thickness not only increased the anisotropic field, but the variation in the MI ratio was as also affected by the skin effect. Conversely, the MI ratios of the present devices were hardly affected by variations in the length. Considering the typical aspect ratios of our devices, it was expected that the length effect would emerge when the aspect ratio was reduced to less than 10. Nevertheless, our results show that for the practical application of MI devices, the MI characteristics can be optimized by tailoring the aspect ratio of the devices.

  • We investigated the characteristics of the nonlinear magneto-optic effect (NMOE) depend on the transitions, the laser intensity and the temperature of the vapor cell, in the $D_1$ transition of $^{87}Rb$ atoms by using the Rb vapor cell contained with buffer gas of Ne 6.7 kPa. The size and the width of NMOE signal were increased according to the light intensity and temperature in the transition of F=2$\to$F'=2. However, In the case of using the F=2$\to$F'=1 transition, the size of the signal could be increased according to the light intensity without additional broadening of the width. We confirmed that the sensitivity of detecting small magnetic flux improved in this transition, and explained these effects by the different of the CPT configuration between Zeeman sublevels. At the optimal condition in experiment, the sensitivity of this system was evaluated less then $70pT/\sqrt{Hz}$.

  • In our study, the Hanle spectrum and nonlinear magneto-optic effect (NMOE) signals were observed as a function of magnetic field on $D_1$ line of $^{87}Rb$ atoms contained in a paraffin coated vapor cell. We observed the double structure from the Hanle and the NMOE spectrum in the paraffin coated Rb vapor cell. The narrow spectral width of the narrow resonance signal is approximately 1 kHz and the magnitude is approximately 10 percent of the total spectrum. Also, the NMOE signals corresponding to the Hanle configuration consisted of two different dispersion-like features. At the near zero magnetic field, a sharp slope signal was centered, and its value was 10 mV/${\mu}T$ with laser power was $200{\mu}W$.

  • The nonreciprocal phase shift characteristics of infinite slab optical waveguides with magneto-optic materials in the cladding layer was calculated at 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for optical isolators. The infinite slab waveguide structures considered in this paper were as follows. rho magneto-optic materials used as a cladding layer were Ce:YIG and LNB(LuNdBi)$_3$(FeAl)$_{5}$)$_{12}$,). Their specific Faraday rotations Θ$_{F}$ are 4500$^{\circ}$/cm, 500$^{\circ}$/cm at wavelength 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively. The guiding layer with multi-quantum well structure was used, and it consists of 1.3Q and InGaAs. In order to investigate the effect of evanescent field penetrating the cadding, layer, guiding mode characteristics were calculated for the cases when the substrate is InP and air. We calculated the minimum lengths of 90$^{\circ}$ nonreciprocal phase shifters and their optimum guiding layer thicknesses in various optical waveguide structures.res.s.

  • We have constructed the foundations to a series of theoretical diagnostic methods to probe the jet phenomenon in young stars as observed at various optical forbidden lines. We calculate and model in a self-consistent manner the physical and radiative processes which arise within an inner disk-wind driven magneto centrifugally from the circumstellar accretion disk of a young sun-like star. Comparing with real data taken at high angular resolution, our approach will provide the basis of systematic diagnostics for jets and their related young stellar objects, to attest the emission mechanisms of such phenomena. This work can help bring first-principle theoretical predictions to confront actual multi-wavelength observations, and will bridge the link between many very sophiscated numerical simulations and observational data. Analysis methods discussed here are immediately applicable to new high-resolution data obtained with HST and Adaptic Optics.

  • We present a few significant advances in methods and concepts of magnetic measurements, aimed both at providing novel routes in the characterization of hard and soft magnetic materials and at improving our basic knowledge of the magnetization process. We discuss, in particular, investigation methods and experimental arrangements that have been developed in recent times for: 1) Hysteresis loop determination in extra-hard magnets by means of Pulsed Field Magnetometry; 2) Broadband observation of domain wall dynamics by highspeed stroboscopical Kerr techniques; 3) Entropy measurements in magnetocaloric materials by calorimetry in magnetic field. While pertaining to somewhat independent fields of investigation, all these measuring techniques have in common a solid approach to the underlying physical phenomenology and have a potential for further developments.
