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.

MOT에 포획된 원자 구름의 분포가 포획광의 편광, 어긋난 정렬에 따라 구형, 막대형, 고리형, 가운데 구를 포함한 고리형, 구-구형, 구-고리형 등으로 다양하게 변하는 것을 관측하였다. 이는 포획광의 어긋난 정렬 등에 의한 좌표의존 비대칭 광압(Coordinate-dependent asymmetry radiation force ; CDARF)으로 설명할 수 있었다. 루비듐-87 원자의 S1/2(F=2), P3/2(F=3)준위에 축퇴된 제만 부준위에 대하여 제만 주파수 이동, 자기장과 포획광 방향에 따른 전이 확률, 편광에 따른 전이 확률, 레이저광의 편광, 레이저 광의 공간 분포 등을 고려하여 가능한 정확한 운동방정식을 세우고, 이를 풀어 다양한 형태의 원자구름 분포를 설명하였다.

Ti/Ni multilayered films (MLF) are ideal for neutron optics particularly in neutron guides and focusing devices. This system also possesses the tendency of amorphization through a solid-state reaction (SSR). This behaviors are closely related to the electronic structures and both magneto-optical (MO) and optical properties of metals depend strongly on their electron energy structures. Mutual inter-diffusion of the Tin and Ni atoms in the MLF caused by a low temperature annealing should decrease the thickness of pure Ni, as well as change the chemical and atomic order in the reactive zone. The application of the MO spectroscopy to the study of SSR in the MLF allows us to obtain an additional information on the changes in the atomic and chemical orders in the interface region. The optical one has no restriction on the magnetic state of the constituent sublayers. Therefore, the changes in magnetic, MO and optical properties of the Ti/Ni MLF due to SSR can be expected. To the best of our knowledge, the MO and optical spectroscopies were not used for this purpose. SSR has been studied in the series of the Ti/Ni MLFs with bilayer periods of 0.65-22.2nm and constant ratio of the Ti to Ni sublayers thickness by using MO and optical spectroscopies as well as an x-ray diffraction. The experimental MO and optical spectra are compared with the computer-simulated spectra, assuming various interface models. The relative changes in the x-ray diffraction spectra and MO properties of the Ti/Ni MLF caused by annealing are bigger for the multilayers with "thick" sublayers, or the SSR with the formation of amorphous alloy takes place mainly in the Ti/Ni multilayers with "thick" sublayers, while in the nominal threshold thickness of the Ni-sublayer for the observation of the equatorial Kerr effect in the as-deposited and annealed Ti/Ni MLFs of about 3.0 and 4.5nm thick is explained by the formation of amorphous alloy during the deposition or the formation of the nonmagnetic alloyed regions between pure components as a result of the SSR. For the case of Ti/Ni MLF the MO approach is more sensitive for the determination of the thickness of the reacted zone, while x-ray diffraction is more useful for structural analyses.structural analyses.

The vortex-driven magnetization process of micron-sized, exchange-coupled square elements with composition of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ (12 nm)/$Ir_{20}Mn_{80}$ (5 nm) is investigated. The exchange-bias is introduced by field-cooling through the blocking temperature (TB) of the system, whereby Landau-shaped vortex states of the $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ layer are imprinted into the $Ir_{20}Mn_{80}$. In the case of zero-field cooling, the exchange-coupling at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface significantly enhances the vortex stability by increasing the nucleation and annihilation fields, while reducing coercivity and remanence. For the field-cooled elements, the hysteresis loops are shifted along the cooling field axis. The loop shift is attributed to the imprinting of displaced vortex state of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ into $Ir_{20}Mn_{80}$, which leads to asymmetric effective local pinning fields at the interface. The asymmetry of the hysteresis loop and the strength of the exchange-bias field can be tuned by varying the strength of cooling field. Micromagnetic modeling reproduces the experimentally observed vortex-driven magnetization process if the local pinning fields induced by exchange-coupling of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers are taken into account.

본 연구에서는 파라핀으로 코팅된 Rb원자 증기셀에서 전자기 유도 투과(Electromagnetically induced transparency: EIT)와 Hanle 스펙트럼을 관측하고 분석하였다. EIT스펙트럼은 독립적으로 발진하는 두 대의 외부 공진형 반도체 레이저를 이용하여 $^{85}Rb$의 $D_1$ 전이선($F_g=2$, $3{\rightarrow}F_e=3$)에서 관측하였고, Hanle 스펙트럼은 한대의 외부 공진형 반도체를 이용하여 $^{87}Rb$의 $D_1$ 전이선($F_g=2{\rightarrow}F_e=1$)의 자기 부준위 사이의 3준위 $\Lambda$형 구도에서 관측하였다. 파라핀 코팅된 루비듐 증기 셀에서 Hanle 스펙트럼에서 이중구조를 관측할 수 있었고,증기셀 주변의 자기장의 세기를 변화시켜서 얻은Hanle 스펙트럼에서 이중구조의 스펙트럼 형태의 변화를 외부자기장의 방향과 크기에 따른 조사하였다. 이때 이중 구조에서 좁은 영역의 스펙트럼의 선폭은 200 Hz로 측정되었다.
