Ultrafine cadmium ferrite particles have been investigated by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy and SQUID magnetometry. All peaks of X-ray diffraction patterns are broad, but correspond to a cubic spinel structure with the lattice constant of 8.65 $\AA$. The average particle size determined by TEM is 9.7 nm and the size distribution of particles is not normal, but lognormal. The maximal magnetization measured at 5 K was 17.7 emu/g. The experimental data show a transi-tion from a disorder ferrimagnetic phase to a spin-glass phase (i.e. reentrant behavior) with a freezing temperature (T$\_$f/) of 30 K. Superparamagnetic behavior of the particles is confirmed by the coincidence of the plots of M vs. H/T for 100 and 300 K.

We have used the modified diffusion flame burner to synthesize silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles having enhanced superparamagnetic property. Silica-encapsulated iron oxide particles were directly observed using a high resolution transmission electron microscope. From the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and zeta potential measurements, the iron oxide particles were found to be completely covered by a silica coating layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that the iron oxide core consists of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ rather than ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$. Our magnetization measurements support this conclusion. Biocompatibility test of the silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles is also conducted using the protein adsorption onto the coated particle.

We have prepared crystalline Ag nanoparticles with an average size of 4 nm in diameter by using an inductively coupled plasma reactor equipped with the liquid nitrogen cooling system. Our magnetic data show that the nano-sized effect of Ag nanoparticles on the magnetic properties is ferromagnetic, instead of a diamagnetic component of the Ag bulk and a superparamagnetic component of magnetic nanoparticles. We have also studied the magnetic properties of Ag-Cu nanocomposites with an opposite concentration profile between surface and core. These comparisons indicate that the ferromagnetic component strongly depends on the surface of Ag nanoparticles, while the paramagnetic component is strongly affected by the outer oxide layer, with the background of a diamagnetic component from the core of Ag.

Ultrafine cobalt ferrite particles have been synthesized using a microemulsion method. All peaks of X-ray diffranction patterns are fairly broad but correspond to a cubic spinel structure with the lattice constant 8.39$\AA$. The coercivity measureed at 5K is 15.1 kOe. The maximal magnetization measured at 5 and 300 K are 13.2 and 10.7 emu/g, respectively. The particles behave ferrimagnetically at 5 K but superparamagnetically at 300K. Superparamagnetic behavior of the particles at room temperature was confirmed by the conincidence of the M vs. H/T at different temperatures and the Mossbauer spectrum.

목적： 초상자성 nano-particle 조영제의 자기이완효과에 관한 out sphere 기전에 기초하여 각각의 자기장의 세기에서 T1/T2 자기이완율을 나타내는 NMRD profile을 수치적으로 simulation 하는 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법： 초상자성 nano-particle 조영제의 경우 초상자성 물질을 생체적합성 고분자로 표면 coating하기 때문에 상자성 조영제와는 달리 전적으로 "out sphere"기여도만을 고려하였고 또한 초상자성 물질의 경우 자기적 에너지의 크기가 매우 크기 때문에 상자성 조영제의 기전에서 사용되는 "low field"근사를 사용할 수 없으므로 Brillouin 함수로 표현되는 총자화에 대한 표현을 적용하였다. nano-particle내에 포함된 Fe 원자수에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMRD Profile과 온도에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMRD Profile 그리고 초상자성 nano-particle size에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMR Profile을 PC (CPU=800 Mhz, memory=128 MB) 환경하에서 symbolic computation tool 인 MathCad (MathCad, USA)를 사용하여 구현하였다.

Colloidal particles consisted of individual nanosized magnetite grains on the surface of the silica cores were obtained by two-stage sol-gel technique. Size distribution and microstructure of the particles were analyzed using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Nitrogen thermal desorption. Magnetic properties of the particles were studied by the method of the longitudinal nonlinear response. It has been shown that nanoparticles of magnetite have a size corresponding to a superparamagnetic state but exhibit hysteresis properties. The phenomenon was explained using the magnetostatic interaction model based on the hypothesis of iron oxide particles cluster aggregation on the silica surface.

Fluorescent-magnetic nanoclusters were synthesized for biomedical applications. The nanoclusters consisted of superparamagnetic core-nanoclusters, highly fluorescent shell of nanocrystals, and lipid A. Magnetic cores were used for both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cell separation. Fluorescent shell was used for optical imaging. The lipid-A-loaded nanoclusters were up-taken by dendritic cells via phagocytosis, which successfully activated dendritic cells. The dendritic cells were migrated to lymph nodes and spleen of mice. The results showed that our novel nanoclusters can play a role as an efficient optical and magnetic imaging, a cell separating and a pathogen mimetic agent at the same time. Additionally, synthesis of wavelength conversion nanowires will be discussed, which may be used as an optical nanoprobe in biological studies.

The temperature dependence of DC magnetic susceptibilities of three austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni stainless alloys were measured in the temperature range of 4.2 and 300 K. Two alloys support a general magnetic description of austen-itic stsinless steels in terms of a two-magnetic-phase (spin glass + superparamagnetic cluster) model and one alloy shows magnetic double transition phenomena. Also this study shows that incressing the Ni/Cr ratio in Fe-Cr-Ni alloys causes a increase of the DC susceptibility peak value and a decrease of the magnetic transition temperature.

The GMR ($d_Cu$) oscillatory behaviour as well as the widths of first and the second antiferromagnetically coupled ranges of the Permalloy ($Py=Ni_{83}Fe_{17}$)/Cu multilayers have been found to be strongly affected not only by the presence of the superparamagnetic/paramagnetic entitles located at the Py/Cu interfaces but mainly by the existence of the magnetic bridges between Py layers. The effectiveness of the magnetic bridges has been found to be temperature dependent, leading to the temperature dependence of the remnant to saturation magnetization ratio ($M_R/M_S$). We have found that for Py/Cu multilayers with equal Py and Cu layer thicknesses a high field sensitivity of the GMR effect (0.4%/Oe) and negligible hysteresis can be achieved when the number of Py layers decreases from 100 to 6. Sensitivity can be further improved by increasing the Py layers thickness, but the hysterstic effect becomes more pronounced then.
