In order to investigate electronic and magnetic properties of permanent magnets, we have performed self-consistent electronic structure calculations on compounds of rare-earth and transition metals, such as $SmCo_{5},\;NdB_{6},\;NdFe_{5},\;NdFe_{4}B$. Employing the local density LMTO(linearized muffin tin orbital) band method, we have obtained the ground state parameters, such as band structures, density of states, Stoner parameters, and magnetic moments. We have also investigated interactions between d,f-electrons of Nd, Sm rare-earths and d-electrons of Fe, Co transition metals, and the s,p electrons of boron and explored effects of such interactions on the bonding mechanism and the electronic and magnetic structures in these rare-earth compounds.

Electronic and magnetic proper tis of the rare-earth transition metal compound, $LaCo_{13}$, are investigated by performing self-consistent local density functional LMTO (linearized muffin-tin orbital) band structure calculations for both paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases of $LaCo_{13}$. The calculated magnetic moments for the two types of Co atoms, Co I and Co II, are 1.34 and $1.65{\mu}_{B}$, respectively. The average magnetic moment of Co atoms in the ferromagnetic phase of $LaCo_{13}$ is estimated to be $1.60{\mu}_{B}$, which is in fairly good agreement with the experimental values, $1.56~1.68{\mu}_{B}$.

The magnetic and structural properties of the (8, 0) BN nanotubes with transition metals (TM) of Fe, Co, or Ni substitution for B or N were investigated using a first-principles calculation. It was found that TM substitution makes the cross section being distorted and the bond length TM-B or TM-N being longer than that of the original B-N one. The magnetic moment is larger for the TM substitution for B than one for N, and it is mainly due to the 3d electrons of TM atoms.

We investigated the magnetic properties of VRu(001) surface by using the all electron full-potenial linearized augmented planewave (FLAPW) energy band method within the GGA. We consider two different configurations, V and Ru surface layers, respectively. The V atoms in surface layer was calculated to have large magnetic moment of $1.71_{{\mu}_B}$ while the Ru surface layer to have nearly nonmagnetic state. The calculated spin-polarized density of states. spin density contour, and charge density were discussed in relation to the magnetic properties of VRu(001) surface.

In the channel-varying environment, it is very important to estimate the signal to noise ratio(SNR) of received signal and to transmit the signal effectively for the modern communication system. The performance of existing non-data-aided (NDA) SNR estimation methods are substantially degraded for high level modulation scheme such as M-ary APSK or QAM. In this paper, we propose a SNR estimation method which uses zero point auto-correlation of received signal per block and auto-/cross- correlation of decision feedback signal in OFDM system. Proposed method can be studied into two Types; Type 1 can estimate SNR by zero point auto-correlation of decision feedback signal based on the second moment property. Type 2 uses both zero point auto-correlation and cross-correlation based on the fourth moment property. In block-by-block reception of OFDM system, these two SNR estimation methods can be possible for the practical implementation due to correlation based the estimation method and they show more stable estimation performance than the previous SNR estimation methods. Also, we mathematically derive the SNR estimation expression according to computational difference of auto-/cross-correlation. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are used to verify the proposed method.

Owing to the increasing worldwide interest in green technology and renewable energy sources, flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are gaining importance as a viable alternative to traditional battery systems. Since the energy storage capacity of an FESS is proportional to the principal mass-moment of inertia and the square of the running speed, a design that maximizes the principal inertia while operatingrunning at the highest possible speed is important. However, the requirements for the stability of the system may impose a constraint on the optimal design. In this paper, an optimal design of an FESS that not only maximizes the energy capacity but also satisfies the requirements for system stability and reduces the sensitivity to external disturbances is proposed. Cross feedback control in combination with a conventional proportional-derivative (PD) controller is essential to reduce the effect of gyroscopic coupling and to increase the stored energy and the specific energy density.

Estimations of depth, magnetic orientation, and strength of dipole moments aid discrimination between unexploded ordnance (UXO) and non-UXO using magnetic surveys. Such estimations may be hindered by geologic noise, magnetic clutter, and overlapping tails of nearby dipole fields. An improved method of inversion for anomalies of single or multiple dipoles with arbitrary polarization was developed to include intra-inversion filtering and estimation of background field gradients. Data interpolated to grids are flagged so that only nodes nearest to measurement stations are used. To apply intra-inversion filtering to such data requires a gapped filter. Moreover, for data with significant gaps in coverage, or along the edges or corners of survey areas, intra-inversion filters must be appropriately modified. To that end, edge-adaptive and gapped gradient-nulling filters have been designed and tested. Applications are shown for magnetic field data from Chongcho Lake, Sokcho, Korea and the U. S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

The effect of periodic vacancies to the magnetism of the Fe monolayer was investigated by calculating the electronic structures using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the GGA approximation. We considered four types of vacancies, point defect, I type, + type, and H type which are consisted of one, three, five and seven vacant sites, respectively. We found that the Fe atoms nearest to the vacancy have the largest magnetic moment in each system, and the value of magnetic moment of the atom was increased as the number of vacancy site is increased. The value of the largest magnetic moment in the systems of point defect, I type, + type, and H type are 3.08, 3.09, 3.15, and 3.30 bohr magnetons, respectively.

영구자석은 크게 Hard ferrite와 희토류계 자석, 그리고 Alnico 주조자석으로 구별되어진다. 그동안 Hard ferrite는 산업적으로 전자기 응용제품 또는 각종 구동 모터에 응용되어 왔지만, 최근 Nd계 희토류 자것이 고성능 모터의 소재로 급격히 대체되고 있다. 하지만, 희토류계 원료에 비해 동일 중량 대비 40~60배 가량 저렴한 Hard ferrite의 사용은 현재까지도 꾸준히 유지되고 있으며, 최근 자동차 고성능 모터용 Sr ferrite의 개발이 연구 중이다.[2] 본 연구에서는 제일원리 전산모사를 통하여 HCP 구조의 기본 Unit Cell 64개 원자를 가진 Sr-ferrite의 격자상수를 계산하여 기존 연구결과와 비교하였으며, 자화에너지와 자기모멘트를 계산하였다. 또한 향후 각종 첨가물의 영향에 대한 연구를 위해 기본 구조 및 치환 구조에 대해 고찰하였다. 그 결과 가장 안정한 에너지를 갖는 격자상수는 a=5.88, b=23.03으로 계산되어 Kimura et al의 측정 결과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, $E_F$가 3.9171, $M_B$는 46.6481로 계산되었다. 항후 Sr-ferrite의 구조에서 Fe atom의 일부를 동일주기 원소인 Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu로 치환하여 자기적 특성을 계산하여 본 연구결과와 비교하고자 한다.
