[FeⅡ2(N-Et-HPTB)Cl2]BPh4(1), where N-Et-HPTB is the anion of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(N-ethyl-2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-l,3-diaminopropane, has been synthesized to model dioxygen binding to the diferrous centers of proteins. 1 has a singly bridged structure with a μ-alkoxo of N-Et-HPTB and contains two five-coordinate iron(Ⅱ) centers with two chloride ligands as exogenous ligands. 1 exhibits an electronic spectrum with a λmax at 336 nm in acetone. 1 in acetone exhibits no EPR signal at 4 K, indicating diiron(Ⅱ) centers are antiferromagnetically coupled. Exposure of acetone solution of 1 to O2 at -90 ℃ affords an intense blue color intermediate showing a broad band at 586 nm. This absorption maximum of the dioxygen adduct(1/O2) was found in the same region of μ-l,2-peroxo diiron(Ⅲ) intermediates in the related complexes with pendant pyridine or benzimidazole ligand systems. However, this blue intermediate exhibits EPR signals at g = 1.93, 1.76, and 1.59 at 4 K. These g values are characteristic of S = 1/2 system derived from an antiferromagnetically coupled high-spin Fe(Ⅱ)Fe(Ⅲ) units. 1 is the unique example of a (μ-alkoxo)diferrous complex which can bind dioxygen and form a metastable mixed-valence intermediate. At ambient temperature, most of 1/O2 intermediate decays to form a diamagnetic species. It suggests that the dacay reaction of the intermediate might be bimolecular, implying the formation of mixed-valence tetranuclear species in transition state.

The Sr2Co0.5Nb(Ta)0.5O4 and Sr3CoNb(Ta)O7 compounds, both with Ruddlesden-Popper structures, have been synthesized by the ceramic method at $1150^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure. The crystallographic structure of the compounds was assigned to the tetr agonal system with space group 14/mmm by X-ray diffraction(XRD) Rietveld refinement. The reduced lattice volume and lattice parameters increased as the Ta with 5d substitutes for the Nb with 4d in the compounds. The Co/Nb(Ta)O bond length has been determined by X-ray absorption spectroscopic(EXAFS/XANES) analysis and the XRD refinement. The CoO6,octahedra were tetragonally distorted by elongation of Co-O bond along the c-axis. The magnetic measurement shows the compounds Sr2Co0.5Nb(Ta)0.5O4 and Sr3CoNb(Ta)O7 have paramagnetic properties and the Co ions with intermediate spin sates between high and low spins in D4h symmetry. All the compounds showed semiconducting behavior whose electrical conductivity increased with temperature up to 1000 K. The electrical conductiviy increased and the activation energy for the conduction decreased as the number of perovskite layers increased in the compounds with chemical formula An+1BnO3n+1.

Ultrafine $Co_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powders have been fabricated by a sol-gel method. Structural and magnetic properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Co-Mn ferrite powders that were fired at and above 773 K contained only a single spinel phase and behaved ferrimagnetically. Powders fired at 673 and 723 K had a spinel structure and were mixed paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic in nature. The magnetic behavior of Co-Mn ferrite powders fired at and above 873 K showed that an increase of the firing temperature yielded a decrease in the coercivity and an increase in the saturation magnetization. The maximum saturation magnetization and coercivity of Co-Mn ferrite powders were 66.7 emu/g and 1523 Oe, respectively, Mossbauer spectra of the powder fired at 923 K were taken at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 850 K. The iron ions.at both A (tetrahedral) and B (octahedral) sites were found to be in ferric high-spin states. The Nel temperature $T_N$ was found to be 850 $\pm$ 2 K. Debye temperatures far A and B sites were found to be $\Theta_A = 757 \pm$5K and $Theta_B = 282 \pm$5 K, respectively.

The structure and magnetic properties of Fe-Ni-N/Cu multilayered films, prepared by the DC magnetron sputter, as a function of different thicknesses of Fe-Ni-N ($t_{FeNiN}$) and Cu ($t_Cu$) layers have been studied by the methods of x-ray diffraction and measurement of magnetic moment. It has been found that the enhancement of (200) orientation in Fe-Ni-N layers is observed at the ratio of layer thickness with about $t_{FeNiN}/t_{Cu}$ $\underline{\simeq}$ 3.75. The reduction of magnetization due to the formation of interdiffusion near the interface is explained by means of the dead layer model. The temperature dependence of magnetization exhibits the feature of Blochs $T^{\frac{2}{3}}$ law. The layer thickness dependence of Curie temperature has been discussed by critical temperature theory of Heisenberg model.

We confirm the validity of the analytic expression for the temperature of the Joule heated nano-wire [C.-Y. You et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 89, 222513 (2006)] with finite element method. The temperature of the Joule heated nano-wire is essential information for the research of the current induced domain wall movement. The analytic expression includes an adjustable parameter which must be determined. Since the physical origin of the adjustable parameter is simplification of the heat source profile, the validity of the analytic expression must be examined for wide range of the nano-wire structure. By comparison with this analytic expression with the results of full numerical finite element method, the adjustable parameter has been determined. The numerically confirmed adjustable parameter values are in the range of 0.60$\sim$0.69, which is well matched with the theoretically expected one. Furthermore, it is found that the adjustable parameter is a slow varying function of the nano-wire geometry. Based on this numerical confirmation, we can apply the analytic expression for the wide range of the nano-wire geometry with proper adjustable parameters.

The Planar Hall effect in a spin valve structure has been applied as a biosensor being capable of detecting $Dynabeads^{(R)}$ M-280. The sensor performance was tested under the application of a DC magnetic field where the output signals were obtained from a nanovoltmeter. The sensor with the pattern size of $50{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ has produced high sensitivity; especially, the real-time profiles by using that sensor revealed significant performance at external applied magnetic field of around 7.0 Oe with the resolution of 0.04 beads per $\mu m^2$. Finally, a successful array including 24 patterns with the single sensor size of $3{\times}3{\mu}m^2$ has shown the uniform and stable signals for single magnetic bead detection. The comparison of this sensor signal with the others has proved feasibility for biosensor application. This, connecting with the advantages of more stable and high signal to noise of PHR sensor's behaviors, can be used to detect the biomolecules and provide a vehicle for detection and study of other molecular interaction.

As the performance and density of IC (integrated circuit) devices increase, power and signal integrities in the global interconnects of advanced packaging technologies are becoming more difficult. Thus, the global interconnect technologies should be designed to accommodate increased input/output (I/O) counts, improved power grid network integrity, reduced RC delay, and improved electrical crosstalk stability. This requirement resulted in the fine-pitch interconnects with a low-k dielectric in 3D packaging or wafer level packaging structure. This paper reviews an organic-inorganic hybrid material as a potential dielectric candidate for the global interconnects. An organic-inorganic hybrid material called polysiloxane can provide spin process without high temperature curing, an excellent dielectric constant, and good mechanical properties.

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of chalcopyrite (CH) AlGaAs2 with dopant Mn at 3.125 and 6.25 % concentrations are investigated using first-principles calculations. The CH AlGaAs2 alloy is a p-type semiconductor with a small band-gap. The AlGaAs2:Mn shows that the ferromagnetic (FM) state is the most energetically favorable one. The Mn-doped AlGaAs2 exhibits FM and strong half-metallic ground states.The spin polarized Al(Ga,Mn)As2 state (Al-rich system) is more stable than the (Al,Mn)GaAs2 state (Ga-rich system), which has a magnetic moment of 3.82mB/Mn. The interaction between Mn-3d and As-4p states at the Fermi level dominates the other states.The states at the Fermi level are mainlyAs-4p electrons, which mediate strong interaction between the Mn-3d and As-4p states. It is noticeable that the FM ordering of dopant Mn with high magnetic moment originates from the As(4p)-Mn(3d)-As(4p) hybridization, which is attributed to the partially unfilled As-4pbands. The high FM moment of Mn is due to the double-exchange mechanism mediated by valence-band holes.

Superconductor-ferromagnet thin film heterostructure is an ideal system for studying the interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism. These two antagonistic properties combined in thin film heterostructure create interesting proximity effects such as spin-triplet superconductivity. Thin film heterostructure of optimally doped La_2-xSr_xCuO₄(LSCO) cuprate superconductor and SrRuO₃(SRO) ruthenate ferromagnet has been grown by pulsed laser deposition. Its temperature-dependent resistivity and Hall effect measurements show that our LSCO/SRO heterostructure has both superconductivity and ferromagnetism. In the Hall effect measurement results, we find additional hump-like structures appear in the anomalous Hall effect signal in the vicinity of superconducting transition. We conclude that giant magnetoresistance of the LSCO layer distorts the AHE signal, which results in a hump-like structure.

In this study, the multilayered thin films of (Ba,Sr)TiO3/K(Ta,Nb)O3 were fabricated by the sol-gel and spin coating methods, and their structural and electrical properties were investigated. The specimen showed polycrystalline X-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics with a tetragonal structure. The average grain size and film thickness for one coating were about 30~40nm and 60nm, respectively. The phase transition temperature of specimen was lower than 10 ℃. The dielectric constant and loss at 20 ℃ of the specimen coated six times were 1,231 and 0.69, respectively. The rate of change in dielectric constant at an applied direct current (DC) voltage of the six times coated thin films was 17.3%/V. The electrocaloric effect was the highest around the temperature at which the remanent polarization rapidly changed. When an electric field of 660kV/cm was applied to the triply coated thin films, the highest electrocaloric property of 4.41 ℃ was observed.
