This study was focused on the optimization of low-pressure ultrasonic spraying process for synthesis of pure ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles. As process variables, pressure in the reactor, precursor concentration, and reaction temperature were changed in order to control the chemical and microstructural properties of iron oxide nanoparticles including crystal phase, mean particle size and particle size distribution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed that pure ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles with narrow particle size distribution of 5-15 nm were successfully synthesized from iron pentacarbonyl ($Fe(CO)_{5}$) in hexane under 30 mbar with precursor concentrations of 0.1M and 0.2M, at temperatures over $800^{\circ}C$. Also magnetic properties, coercivity ($H_c$) and saturation magnetization ($M_s$) were reported in terms of the microstructure of particles based on the results from vibration sampling magnetometer (VSM).

This study investigated the magnetic properties and frequency dispersion of complex permeability of Ni-Zn-Co ferrites used for magnetic shielding in near field communication (NFC) system. The sintered specimens of $(Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3})_{1-x}Co_xFe_2O_4$ composition were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The coercive force and saturation magnetization were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The complex permeability was measured by RF impedance analyzer in the range of 1 MHz~1.8 GHz. The coercive force increased and saturation magnetization decreased with increasing the Co substitution. The real and imaginary parts of complex permeability decreased and the resonance frequency increased with Co substitution, which was attributed to the increase in crystal anisotropy field and reduction in saturation magnetization. The effect of Co substitution could be found in reducing the magnetic loss to nearly zero at the operating frequency of NFC (13.56 MHz).

The attitude determination in LEO Satellite like KOMPSAT is one of the most important issues for Sun-Acquisition. Particularly, in KOMPSAT, the roll axis direction can be determined since the sun sensor gives the information on the Euler angle for pitch and yaw axes in Sun-Acquisition mode. In other words, it is the problem to determine the two unknown axes direction with one axis knowledge. This paper proposes a new effective method for attitude determination of general LEO satellites when one axis information is avilable and proves its usefulness throughout the simulation.

Multiferroic $CoCr_2O_4$ film was deposited on MgO and $MgAl_2O_4$ substrates by the rf-sputtering process. The films were prepared at an RF-magnetron sputtering power of 50 W and a pressure of 10 mtorr (20 sccm in Ar), and at substrate temperatures of $550^{\circ}C$. The crystal structure was determined to be a spinel (Fd-3m) structure by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) with Cu $K{\yen}{\acute{a}}$ radiation. The thickness and morphology of the films were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The magnetic properties were measured using a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQIUD) magnetometer. While the ferrimagnetic transitions were observed at about 93 K, which was determined as the Neel temperature, the magnetic properties all show different behaviors. The differences between the magnetic properties can be explained by the stress effects between $CoCr_2O_4$ and the substrates of MgO and $MgAl_2O_4$.

The high temperature superconducting YBCO films were deposited on the SrTiO$_3$(100) single crystals to find out the proper deposition conditions of YBCO on biaxially-textured metal substrates. Different sets of the substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure and laser fluence were used to investigate the effect of deposition conditions on the superconducting properties. The new apparatuses for measuring critical temperature (Tc) and critical current (Ic) were designed and manufactured, which were used to obtain Tc's and Ic's of the deposited films. The accuracy of the new apparatus was confirmed by comparing the results with those from SQUID magnetometer. The results on the YBCO films deposited on single crystal substrates which will be used to get the optimum deposition conditions of YBCO films in the coated conductor, are summarized in this report.

In the present study, the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial materials have been prepared by reaction between Nb-free or Nb-containing $Sm_2Fe_{17}$-type alloy and $N_2$ gas. Nitrogenation behaviour of the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type material and disproportionation characteristics of the nitrogenated materials have been studied by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermopiezic analysis (TPA). Magnetic properties of the produced $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial materials were characterised in vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) or thermomagnetic analyser (TMA). Epoxy-bonded or Zn-bonded $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type magnets were prepared, and their magnetic properties were investigated. It has been found that nitrogenation kinetics of the Sm2Fe17Nx-type alloy is improved significantly by the Nb-substitution for Fe in the alloy. The Nb-substitution is also found to enhance thermal stability of the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial material. Hard magnetic properties of the interstitial materials produced from Nb-free orNb-containing alloy is high enough (intrinsic coercivity : over 7 kOe) for application as bonded permanent magnets. The good hard magnetic properties of the interstitial material are maintained in the epoxy-bonded magnet. Intrinsic coercivity of the Zn-bonded magnets is improved significantly as post-bonding annealing time increases.

In this work, we prepared Fe-Ni alloy nanopowders by wire electrical explosion in deionized water and ethanol. Particles size and morphology of the as-synthesized nanoparticles prepared in water and ethanol were observed by transmission electron microscopy. In both cases, the as-synthesized nanoparticles were in nearly spherical shape and their size distribution was broad. The particles prepared in the water were in core-shell structure due to the oxidation of Fe element. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the phase of the nanopowders. It showed that the nanopowders prepared in water had ${\gamma}$-Fe-Ni solid solution and FeO phase. The samples obtained in ethanol were in two phases of Fe-Ni solid solution, ${\gamma}$-Fe-Ni and ${\alpha}$-Fe-Ni. Bulk samples were made from the as-synthesized nanopowders by spark plasma sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Structure of the bulk sample was observed by scanning electron microscope. Magnetic properties of the as-synthesized nanopowders and the bulk samples were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer. The hysteresis loop of the assynthesized nanopowders and the sintered bulk samples revealed a ferromagnetic characteristic.

We have carried out the study of magnetocaloric effect for as-quenched and annealed $Fe_{91-x}Y_xZr_9$ alloys. Samples were prepared by arc melting the high-purity elemental constituents under argon gas atmosphere and by single roller melt spinning. These alloys were annealed one hour at 773 K in vacuum chamber. The magnetization behaviours of the samples were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The Curie temperature increases with increasing Y concentration (x=0 to 8). Temperature dependence of the entropy variation ${\Delta}S_M$ was found to appear in the vicinity of the Curie temperature. The results show that annealed $Fe_{86}Y_5Zr_9$ and $Fe_{83}Y_8Zr_9$ alloys a bigger magnetocaloric effect than that those in as-quenched alloys. The value is 1.23 J/kg K for annealed $Fe_{86}Y_5Zr_9$ alloy and 0.89 J/kg K for as-quenched alloy, respectively. In addition, the values of ${\Delta}S_M$ for $Fe_{83}Y_8Zr_9$ alloy is 0.72 J/Kg K for as-quenched and 1.09 J/Kg K for annealed alloy, respectively.

In this study, nickel-zinc ferrite nanoparticles, with the chemical formula of $Ni_{0.3}Zn_{0.7-x}Cu_xFe_2O_4$ (where x = 0.1- 0.6 by step 0.1), were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The effect of copper substitution on the phase formation and crystal structure of the sample was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo-gravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD result shows that due to the reduction of Zn content,the crystallite size of the sample increased. The results of the vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) exhibit an increase in saturation magnetization value (Ms) for samples with x ${\leq}$ 0.3 and a linear decrease for samples with x > 0.3. The variation of saturation magnetization and coercivity of the samples were then studied.

A preparation of $Ni_xMn_{1-x}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticles produced via the reduction of Nickel nitrate hexahydrate, Manganese (II) nitrate hexahydrate and Iron nitrate nonahydrate with hydrazine in Igepal CO-520/cyclohexane reverse micelle solutions was investigated. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) analyses showed that the resultant nanoparticles increased the molar ration of water to Igepal CO-520 as the concentrations of Nickel nitrate hexahyrate, Manganese (II) nitrate hexahydrate and Iron nitrate nonahydrate increased. The average size of the synthesized particles calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs was in the range of 20 nm to 30 nm, and the particle distribution was broadened. The phase of the synthesized particles was crystalline, and the magnetic behavior of the synthesized particles was superparamagnetism. The effect of the synthesis parameters of the molar ratio of water to surfactant and the calcination temperature was discussed.
