We simulated the magnetization reversal behavior of submicron-thickness magnetic films by applying pulses of sub-ns-long durations and amplitudes along the easy axis. The films were rectangular and elliptical $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$, and their thickness was 2 nm and 4 nm. We observed different behaviors depending upon the shape and thickness of the films and found a normal non-switching in regions in which we expected complete switching after relaxation. In the elliptical film, the non-switching regions were found to be random and to be widely distributed throughout the switching map. The strong demagnetization field along the z-axis, the film thickness direction, is likely responsible for this abnormal behavior. In the rectangular film, the abnormal non-switching regions were less distributed than they were in the elliptical film due to edge domains resulting from the small $M_z$ or demagnetization field during the switching. Our simulation confirms that large demagnetization is detrimental to the ultra-fast magnetization reversal of magnetic ultra-thin films.

To study the magnetization reversal behavior of Co/Pd multilayers, we first demagnetized the samples by the field-demagnetized method and then measured initial curves and minor loops. The coercivity and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were obtained from the perpendicular and parallel magnetization curves measured at different temperatures. We interpret our experimental results by applying several qualitative and semiquantative approaches. From these study, we found that the magnetization reversal behavior is dominated by the domain wall pinning for all samples and the coercivity incremental tendency can be explained by Kronmuller's formula $H_c(T)\;{\propto}\;r_0.K_u$.

Magnetic properties at low-temperatures can diagnose the presence of certain magnetic minerals in rocks. At the Verwey transition temperature ($T_v$, ~105~120 K), magnetite transforms from monoclinic to cubic structure as the temperature increases. At the isotropic point ($T_i$, ~135 K), magnetocrystalline anisotropic constant of magnetite passes through zero (from negative to positive) as the temperature decreases so that its optimal remanence acquisition axis changes from [111] to [001]. A sharp remanence drop was observed at $T_v$ during warming of LTSIRM (low-temperature saturation isothermal remanent magnetization). For cooling of RTSIRM (room-temperature saturation isothermal remanent magnetization), the remanence decreased on passing $T_i$ and $T_v$. On warming of RTSIRM, remanence recovery becomes more prominent as the average grain size of magnetite increases. In summary, the SIRM memory decreases with increasing grain size of magnetite. A similar, but rather gradual, remanence transition occurs for natural samples due to contribution of cations other than Fe. As a non-destructive tool, low-temperature magnetic behavior is sensitive to unravel the magnetic remanence carriers in terrestrial rocks or meteorites.

Recently, there have been grave concerns that the anticipated increase in the use of nuclear energy worldwide could result in dissemination of sensitive nuclear technologies. To meet the increase in nuclear energy demand and strengthen the non-proliferation regime simultaneously, the various proposals for 'multilateralization of nuclear fuel cycle' have been widely suggested. Those proposals are expected to have serious impacts on our country, if they has come true. In this paper, therefore, the 12 existing proposals were reviewed and assessed for their potential impacts on our country, in order to help prepare the appropriate measures responding to the international attempt of 'multilateralization of nuclear fuel cycle'.

This paper describes an implementation of the rotational hysteresis analysis using the finite element method and a vector hysteresis model. The vector hysteresis model is extended from the magnetization-dependent Preisach model. The magnetization of each element is calculated for a given history of the rotating field. The lagging angle and the magnitude of the magnetization for an applied field are evaluated. The experimental results show that the magnetization characteristics of the magnetic materials under the rotating field can be analyzed accurately by the proposed method.

나노스케일에서의 자구체(magnetic domain), 자화벽(magnetic domain wall)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 특히 자화벽의 위치를 임의로 제어할 수 있는 기술을 응용한 메모리 소자에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 반면에 이러한 연구에 필수적인 자구체, 자화벽 이미징 장비는 매우 미비한 상황이다. 이와 같은 자성이미징(magnetic domain image), 자화벽(magnetic domain wall)을 연구하는데 있어 가장 핵심적인 장비가 SEMPA(Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis)이다. 일반적으로 SEM의 경우 고 에너지 빔의 전자 빔을 주사 시키고 이때 발생되는 이차 전자의 수를 2차원상의 영역에 따라 달라지는 비로 형상을 측정하게 된다. 이때 전자의 수 뿐만 아니라 이들의 spin polarization을 측정할 수 있다면 형상뿐 만 아니라 표면에서의 스핀 상태를 동시에 측정할 수 있게 된다. 기 개발된 W-filament source를 이용한 SEMPA는 field emission source에 비하여 전자빔의 세기가 약하며 이차 전자의 수도 적어 spin polarization 감도가 현저히 떨어진다. 또한 초고진공($1{\times}10^{-10}torr$)에서 사용할 수 없어 측정시료의 contamination을 방지할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 보안하기 위하여 field emission source를 이용한 FE-SEMPA를 개발 중이며 2차전자의 spin polarization감도를 증가시키기 위하여 monte carlo simulation과 전산시늉등울 통해 스핀 검출기를 개발 및 연구결과를 발표하고자 한다.

A milatary ship without degaussing coil has a vertical magnetization to compensate magnetization induced by the vertical magnetic field component of earth magnetic field during demagnetization process. Flash D is very useful to acquire vertical magnetization. However this is hard to predict vertical magnetization. This experiment was investicated on another method, which used the only vertical bias magentic field. The specimens were prepared by thin Zn coated steel sheet with a thickness of 0.15mm. The shapes of 3 specimes was rectangular, triangular and circular cylinders. These shapes were corresponded to the shapes of bow, mid and stern of a vessel. Through FEM analysis, the difference of magnetic signatures for these specimens was recognized and the residual magnetization curve was measured. magnetic field was generated by a solenoid coil and magnetic signature was measured by a magnetic field sensor. A linearity between a vertical bias magnetic field and a vertical manetzation existed and the vertical magnetization of a miltary vessel was predicted by the linearity.

Although MR imaging is generally applicable to depict knee joint deterioration it, is sometimes occurred to mis-read and mis-diagnose the common knee joint diseases. In this study, we employed magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) method to improve the diagnosis of the various knee joint diseases. Spin-echo (SE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 3,400-3,500/90-100 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, FSE T2-weighted images (TR/TE 4,500-5,000/100-108 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, gradient-echo (GRE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 9/4.56/$50^{\circ}$ flip angle, NEX 1) were obtained in 3 cases of knee joint deterioration, In six cases of knee joint deterioration, fat suppression was performed using a T2-weighted short T1/tau inverse recovery (STIR) sequence (TR/TE =2,894-3,215 ms/70 ms, NEX 3, ETL 9). Calculation of MTR for individual pixels was performed on registration of unsaturated and saturated images. After processing to make MTR images, the images were displayed in gray color. For improving diagnosis, three-dimensional isotropic volume images, the MR tristimulus color mapping and the MTR map was employed. MTR images showed diagnostic images quality to assess the patients' pathologies. The intensity difference between MTR images and conventional MRI was seen on the color bar. The profile graph on MTR imaging effect showed a quantitative measure of the relative decrease in signal intensity due to the MT pulse. To diagnose the pathologies of the knee joint, the profile graph data was shown on the image as a small cross. The present study indicated that MTR images in the knee joint were feasible. Investigation of physical change on MTR imaging enables to provide us more insight in the physical and technical basis of MTR imaging. MTR images could be useful for rapid assessment of diseases that we examine unambiguous contrast in MT images of knee disorder patients.

Polymerized vesicles were formed from monomeric surfactants and permeability of polymerized vesicles were compared with that of monomeric analogs. The results showed that crosslinking get the permeability of vesicle decrease. And when the vesicle was polymerized at both inside and outside of vesicle, the vesicle got the lower permeability. Packing structure in the vesicle which is dependent upon the molecular structure of alkyl group in surfactant had an effect on permeability of vesicle.
