Using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) incorporating both semiempirical and nonlocal van der Waals interaction, the structural, adsorption, and magnetic properties of Ni/BN/Co systems were investigated. We proposed that the relative spin direction of Ni and Co magnets can be easily tuned, because the total energy difference between ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states is small. Despite this feature, very interestingly, both Ni and Co layers manifest half-metallic state, whereas the spacer BN layer becomes weak metal for one monolayer (ML) thickness and an insulating barrier for two ML thicknesses. The half-metallic behavior of the magnetic layers seems very robust, because it is independent of the magnetic coupling between Ni and Co. This finding indicates that the Ni/BN/Co system can be used as a potential candidate for tunneling magnetoresistance system.

Suppression of the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of NbN thin films in superconductor/ferromagnet multilayers has been investigated. Both superconducting NbN and ferromagnetic FeN layers were deposited on thermally oxidized Si substrate at room temperature by using reactive magnetron sputtering in an $Ar-N_2$ gas mixture. The thickness of FeN films was fixed at 20 nm, while the thickness of NbN films was varied from 3 nm to 90 nm. $T_c$ suppression was clearly observed in NbN layers up to 70 nm thickness when NbN layer was in proximity with FeN layer. For a given thickness of NbN layer, the magnitude of $T_c$ suppression was increased in the order of Si/FeN/NbN, Si/NbN/FeN, and Si/FeN/NbN/FeN structure. This result can be used to design a spin switch whose operation is based on the proximity effect between superconducting and ferromagnetic layers.

마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 반강자성/비자성/강자성의 삼층박막 $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$ 크기의 십자 형태의 PHR 자기센서를 제작하고, 도메인스코프를 이용하여 외부자기장에 의한 PHR 센서의 자화거동을 관찰하였다. 또 자기저항 신호로부터 센서 특성 및 자기 민감도를 측정하였다. 삼층 구조의 PHR 센서에서 자기이력곡선 이동으로부터 측정한 교환결합력은 20 Oe였으며, $20^{\circ}$에서 자기 민감도는 $20{\mu}V/Oe$이였다. 이를 이용하여 자기 모멘트가 $10^{-13}emu$인 자기 박테리아를 $1{\times}10^3$개 정도의 분해능까지 측정하였으며, 또한 자기 민감도와 박테리아에 의한 출력 전압을 이용해 계산한 결과 박테리아 한 마리가 가지는 자기장의 크기는 $5{\times}10^{-5}Oe$이였다.

Ag intermediated $TiO_2$ films were deposited by RF and DC magnetron sputtering and then vacuum annealed at 100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to investigate the effect of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of the films. For all depositions, the thickness of the $TiO_2$ and Ag films were kept constant at 24 and 15 nm by controlling the deposition time. As-deposited $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ trilayer films have a weak crystalline and an optical reflectance in a near infrared wavelength region of 77.8%, while the films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ show the polycrystalline structure and an increased mean optical reflectance of 80.4%. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that increasing the annealing temperature enhanced the structural and optical properties of the $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ films.

Many of the spin valve multilayer structures with FeMn as antiferromagnetic layer consist of a NiFe/FeMn/NiFe trilayer where the bottom NiFe layer is the seed layer to facilitate the growth of (111) gama-FeMn antiferromagnetic phase and the top NiFe layer forms the pinned layer[1], In this study, exchange bias of bottom NiFe layer has been investigated as functions of thicknesses of top and bottom NiFe in NiFe/FeMn/NiFe, prepared by rf magnetron sputtering, MH-loop was measured by vibration sample magnetometer (VSM). Two hysteresis loops are corresponded to bottom and top layers, similar to reported loops in spin valve structure. Exchange bias of bottom NiFe could be induced by the interfacial coupling between bottom NiFe and FeMn. But those coupling are strongly dependent on the top and bottom NiFe thicknesses, revealing anomalous character ul exchange bias of bottom NiFe layer.

분광광도계로 측정된 반사율 데이터를 활용하여 다층박막 각 층의 두께를 푸리에 변환 방법으로 결정하였다. 이를 위하여 이론적인 3층 다층박막 반사율 데이터를 생성하고 자체 작성한 Matlab 프로그램으로 델타함수의 피크 발생위치로부터 각 층의 두께를 결정하였으며, 박막의 광학적 두께가 730 nm 이상이 되는 경우 결정된 두께 오차는 1.0% 이하임을 알 수 있었다. 이 방법을 사용하여 바 코팅 방법으로 제작된 PI-(얇은 $SiO_2$)-PI 다층박막의 두께를 결정하고 그 결과를 SEM 측정결과와 비교하였다. 본 두께측정 방법은 각 층의 굴절률과 박막의 순서를 미리 인지하고 있어야 하는 단점이 있으나, 비파괴적인 방법으로 빠르게 다층 박막의 두께 분포를 결정할 수 있는 방법임을 확인하였다.
