MRAM uses magneto-resistance material as a storage element, which stores cell data as a polarization of spin in a free magnetic layer. This magneto-resistance material has hysteresis, asteroid curve at the thermal variation, and R-V characteristics for switching the data. Therefore, a macro-model which can reproduce these characteristics is required for MRAM simulation. We propose a macro-model of TMR (Tunneling Magneto Resistance) that can reproduce all of these characteristics on HSPICE. Also we propose a novel sensing scheme, which generates reference resistance having the medium value, ( $R_{H}$+ $R_{L}$)/2, for a wide range of applied voltage and present simulation results based on the HSPICE macro-model of MTJ that we have developed.d.d.

The characteristics of the electrochemically Li intercalated synthetic graphite were determined from the studies with XRD method, DSC and solid $^7Li-NMR$ spectrophotometric analysis. From the results of X-ray diffraction method, it was found that the compounds in the stage 1 structure were predominantly formed. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the compounds can be obtained from the differential scanning calorimetric analysis results. From these results, it was found that exothermic and endothermic reactions of lithium intercalated into synthetic graphite are related to thermal stability of lithium ion between carbon graphene layers. From the $^7Li-NMR$ data, scientific observation found that bands are shift toward higher frequencies with increasing lithium concentration because non-occupied electron shells of Li increased in charge carrier density. Line widths of the Li intercalated synthetic graphite compounds decreased slowly because of non-homogeneous local magnetic order and the random electron spin direction for substituted Li.

Innopolis start-ups belong to the category of the research-based spin-offs, but in the meantime, has characteristics that separate them from the research-based spin-offs in terms of the process of technology commercialization. This study aims to assess the impacts of the foundation and management of the Innopolis start-ups in terms of expansion of entrepreneurship through entrepreneurial intention of researchers and economic achievements. A data set from 22 Innopolis start-ups and 200 researchers in 14 PRIs through door-to-door interviews and surveys is studied. Main findings are as follows: First, the foundation of the Innopolis start-up has a positive and strong impact on expansion of entrepreneurship through entrepreneurial intention of researchers. Second, technology transfer performance of researchers turns out to be major factor that affects entrepreneurial intention. Third, expansion of entrepreneurship, along with economic achievements characterized by sales, job creation and R&D investment, is a positive effect of the foundation and management of the Innopolis start-ups. The results of this paper provide an opportunity to test whether Innopolis start-up's strength in technology commercialization can be applied to actual management of the Innopolis startup and to examine the general direction in which the foundation and management of the Innopolis start-ups is heading.

We grew $Zn_{0.4}Fe_{2.6}O_4$ thin films using Pulsed Laser Deposition and studied their crystal structure and magnetical characteristics as a function of growth temperature ($T_g$). For the film with $T_g=300^{\circ}C$, X-ray reflections from ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and ZnO were observed. However, when $T_g$ was increased from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$, crystal structure of inverse spinel was stabilized with the crystal orientation of $Zn_{0.4}Fe_{2.6}O_4(111)/Al_2O_3(0001)$ without any detection of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and ZnO phases. The surface morphology shows flattening behavior with increasing $T_g$ from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$. These observations indicate that Zn is substituted into tetrahedron A-site of the inverse-spinel $Fe_3O_4$. M-H curves exhibit clear ferromagnetism for the sample with $T_g=500^{\circ}C$ whereas no ferromagnetism is observed for the film with $T_g=300^{\circ}C$.

Korean government drives various programs to improve the performance of university-industry cooperation since 1998 such as BK 21(Brain Korea), NURI(New University for Regional Innovation), Connect Korea Program, and so on. We analyse the relationships between performance of university-industry cooperations and university competency factors(research competency and management competency) through multi-regression model, and propose policy implication. We used the basic data related to the performance of university-industry cooperation and university competency factors from Korean 61 universities. We set up some hypotheses and try to verify them with the method of multi-variable regression analysis including dependent variable(licensing fee, the number of technology transfers, the number of spin-offs) and independent variables(research competency, management competency). We, through this analysis, find both the research competency variables and management competency variables are significant to the performance of university-industry cooperation. Firstly, for licensing fee and the number of technology transfers, research competency variables such as the number of SCIE papers, the number of patent registration were significant, but management competency variables such as the scale of technology leasing organization, the number of specialist were not significant. Secondly, for the number of spin-offs management variables are significant, but research competency varialbles are not. These results imply that both the research competency and management competency of universities are the critical factors for the effective commercialization of university technology not only in United States but also in Korea. In the conclusion, we propose government drive university-industry cooperation policy to enhance the quality of research papers and patent as well as management capabilities of technology leasing organization.

We obtained resonance field ($H_{res}$) and linewidth (${\Delta}H_{PP}$) from measured ferromagnetic resonance signal in the functions of polar angle (${\Theta}_H$) in Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness fabricated by electrodeposition method. The angular dependence of $H_{res}$ was well fitted with the calculated ones. We confirmed that the g-factor and effective demagnetization field were 2.18 and 445 emu/cc by the theoretical analysis of the resonance field, respectively. The angular dependence of ${\Delta}H_{PP}$ showed very large values at in-plane direction (${\Theta}_H=90^{\circ}$), which could not explained by the homogenous linewidth due to the Gilbert damping and inhomogeneous linewidth due to the angular variations and magnetization variations by the surface layer. Therefore, we considered the spin wave scattering (two magnon scattering) process in order to analyze the measured inhomogeneous linewidth, which was appeared in thicker film than the critical thickness of 50 nm. The defect medicated spin wave scattering played a key role in the electrodoposited Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness.

The electronic structures, magnetism, and half-metallicity of the full-Heusler $Co_2TiSn$(001) surfaces have been investigated by using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. We have considered both of the Co atoms terminated(Co-term) and the TiSn atoms terminated(TiSn-term) surfaces. From the calculated density of states, we found that the half-metallicity was destroyed at the surface of the Co-term, while the half-metallicity was retained at the TiSn-term. For the surface of the Co-term, due to the reduced coordination number the occupied minority d-states were shifted to high energy regions and that cross the Fermi level, thus destroy the surface half-metallicity. On the other hand the surface states at the surface of the TiSn-term were located just below the Fermi level, which reduces the minority spin-gap with respect to that of the center layer. The calculated magnetic moment of the surface Co atom for the Co-term was increased by 10 % to 1.16 ${\mu}_B$ with respect to that of the inner-layers, while the magnetic moment of the subsurface Co atom in the TiSn-term has almost same value of the innerlayers(1.03 ${\mu}_B$).

The purpose of this research is to seek SPAIR's reversal time (TI) which satisfies two conditions ; maintaining the suppression ability of fat tissue and simultaneously minimizing the inhomogeneity of fat tissue in T2 high-speed spin echo 3.0T magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the brain, and to compare SPAIR with STIR which is fat-suppression technique. The reversal times (TI) of SPAIR protocol are set to 1/2, 1/3, 1/6 and 1/12 of SPAIR TR (420 msec), namely 210 msec (8 people), 140 msec (26 people), 70 msec (26 people) and 35 msec (18 people) and STIR TI is set with 250 msec (26 people). With these parameter sets, we acquired the axis direction 104 images of the brain. In ROI ($50\;mm^2$) of output image, signal intensities of the fatty tissue, the muscular tissue, and the background were measured and the CNRs of fatty tissue and the muscular tissue were calculated. The inhomogeneity of the fatty tissue is SD/mean, where SD is the standard deviation and 'mean' is a average fatty tissue signal. Consequently, SPAIR TI is determined on either 1/3 or 1/6 of TR (420 ms) ; 140 ms or 70 ms. Because the difference of statistics in fat-suppression ability and inhomogeneity of fatty tissue is very small (p < 0.001), Selecting 140 ms seems to be better choice for the image quality. Meanwhile, Comparing SPAIR (TI : 140 ms) with STIR, the fat-suppression is not able to be considered statistically (p < 0.252), but the image quality is able to be considered statistically (p < 0.01). In conclusion, SPAIR is better than STIR in the image quality.

The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of a ramp-edge type junction has been studied. The samples with a structure of NiO(60)/Co(10)/NiO(60)/Si$_3$N$_4$(2-6)/NiFe(10) (nm) were prepared by the sputtering and etched by the electron cyclotron (ECR) argon ion milling. Nonlinear I-V characteristics was obtained from a ramp-type tunneling junctions having the dominant difference between zero and ＋90 Oe perpendicular to the junction edge line. The voltage dependence of TMR was stable up to a bias volt of $\pm$10 V with a TMR ratio of about -10%, which may be very peculiar magnetic tunneling properties with asymmetric tunneling process between wedge Co pinned layer and NiFe free layer.

This study attempts to analysis the roles of national laboratories in the context of regional innovation systems and the contribution to local economic development in the case of Taedok Science Park in Korea. It also tries comparative studies between Taedok Science Park and some European experiences. Recently the role of national laboratories as key innovation agents for regional development strategies is emphasized in European countries. In the similar context, national laboratories have explicit missions to assist in the formations of new firms and to support existing small and medium-sized enterprises in their localities. It is found that these functions are largely present and become more important in Taedok, but that the linkages between national laboratories and local firms are still weaker than some European countries. This study concludes that national laboratories in Korea should reinforce the industry-research linkages with local economic activities in the region to stimulate cooperation activities.
