This study was undertaken to investigate the effect on the Cd accumulation in long-term Cd poisoned rats. 40 male weaning Sprague Dawley rats weighting 80-90g were divided into 4 groups (LCuLFeCd : low Cu, Fe and Cd group, ACuLFeCd : adequate Cu, low Fe and Cd group, ACuAFeCd : adequate Cu, adequate Fe and Cd group) according to Cu and Fe levels (Cu 0.5ppm, 8.5ppm : Fe 6ppm, 40ppm) for 12 weeks. There were no significant difference in water intake, feed intake, and body weight gain according to dietary Cu and Fe consumption. But the mean food intake and body weight gain of adequate Fe groups(LCuAFeCd, ACuAFeCd) were higher than those of deficient Fe groups (ACuLFeCd, LCuFeCd)in long-term Cd poisoned rats. The mean Cd levels of serum, liver, kidney, and urine in ACuAFeCd group were lower than those of Cu and /or Fe deficient groups. But the mean fecal Cd excretion of ACuAFeCd group was higher than that of Cu and/or Fe deficient groups. And the mean Cd retention amount of ACuAFeCd group was lower than those of Cu and/or Fe deficinet groups. In conclusion, these results provide an evidence that adequate Cu and Fe intakes can decrease Cd accumulation in rats. Therefore, in the point of increasing environmental Cd contamination, adequate Cu and Fe intakes must be suggested to prevent Cd accumulations.

The magnetic alloys of Cu-Fe ($Cu_{50}Fe_{50},\;Cu_{80}Fe_{20}\;and\;Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$) were prepared by a mechanical alloying method and their structural and magnetic behaviors were examined by X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectra. The magnetization curves did not distinctly show the saturation at 70 kOe for the concentrated alloys of $Cu_{80}Fe_{20}\;and\;Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$. The Mossbauer spectrum of $Cu_{80}Fe_{20}$ at room temperature shows one Lorentzian line of the paramagnetic phase, whereas the Mossbauer spectrum of $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ consists of sextet Lorentzian line at room temperature and a centered doublet line. The Mossbauer spectra of $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ measured in the temperature ranges from 13 to 295 K, implies that $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ to consists of two magnetic phases. One superimposed sextet corresponds to the ferromagnetic iron in Cu and the other one indicates the superparamagnetic iron rich phase.

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element indispensable for brain development and function; either excess or deficiency in Cu can cause brain malfunction. While it is known that Cu and Fe homeostasis are strictly regulated in the brain, the question as to how systemic Fe status may influence brain Cu distribution was poorly understood. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that dietary Fe condition affects Cu transport into the brain, leading to an altered brain distribution of Cu. Rats were divided into 3 groups; an Fe-deficient (Fe-D) group which received an Fe-D diet ($3{\sim}5 mg$ Fe/kg), a control group that was fed with normal diet (35mg Fe/kg), and an Fe-overload group whose diet contained an Fe-O diet (20g carbonyl Fe/kg). Following a 4-week treatment, the concentration of Cu/Fe in serum, CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and brain were determined by AAS, and the uptake rates of Cu into choroids plexus (CP), CSF, brain capillary and parenchyma were determined by an in situ brain perfusion, followed by capillary depletion. In Fe-D and Fe-O, serum Fe level decreased by 91% (p<0.01) and increased by 131% (p<0.01), respectively, in comparison to controls. Fe concentrations in all brain regions tested (frontal cortex, striatum, hippocampus, mid brain, and cerebellum) were lower than those of controls in Fe-D rats (p<0.05), but not changed in Fe-O rats. In Fe-D animals, serum and CSF Cu were not affected, while brain Cu levels in all tested regions (frontal cortex, striatum, hippocampus, mid brain, and cerebellum) were significantly increased (p<0.05). Likewise, the unidirectional transport rate constants $(K_{in})$ of Cu in CP, CSF, brain capillary and parenchyma were significantly increased (p<0.05) in the Fe-D rats. In contrast, with Fe-O, serum, CSF and brain Cu concentrations were significantly decreased as compared to controls (p<0.05). Cu transport was no significant change of Cu transport of serum in Fe-O rats. The mRNA levels of five Cu-related transporters were not affected by Fe status except DMT1 in the CP, which was increased in Fe-D and decreased in Fe-O. Our data suggest that Cu transport into brain and ensuing brain Cu levels are regulated by systemic Fe status. Fe deficiency appears to augment Cu transport by brain barriers, leading to an accumulation of Cu in brain parenchyma.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dietary Fe and Cu levels on Pb accumulation of Pb poisoned rats. 80 male Sprague weaning Dawley rate weighing 80-90g were divided into 8 groups(Pb groups: LFLCPb-low Fe, low Cu and Pb group, LFACPB-low Fe, adequate Cu and Pb group, AFLCPb-adequate Fe, low Cu and Pb group, AFACPb-adequate Fe, adequate Cu and Pb group, without Pb gorups: LFLC-low Fe, low Cu and without Pb grooup, LFAC-low Fe, adequate Cu and without Pb group, AFLC-adequate Fe, low Cu and without Pb group, AFAC-adequate Fe, adequate Cu and without Pb group) according to Pb administration (0, 500ppm in drinking water) and Fe and Cu levels(Fe :6ppm, 40ppm, Cu : 0.5ppm, 0.8ppm) for 12 weeks. The food intake, body weight, gain, and FER of Pb groups were significantly lower than those of without Pb groups(p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.001). The weights of liver in Pb groups were significantly lower than that of adequate Fe and Cu group in without Pb group(AFAC) (p<0.001). The Cu contents of liver in Pb groups were significantly lower than that of AFAC (p<0.01). The liver Pb accumulation of LFLCPb was significantly higher than those of LFACPb, AFLCPb, AFACPb(p<0.05). The serum Pb content of LFLCPb was significantly higher than those of LFACPb, AFLCPb, AFACPb(p<0.05). The levels of Hb, and Hct, of 12 weeks in Pb poisoned rats were lower than those of 8 weeks, in other words, long term Pb poisoned rats were affected more serious on hematoopoiesis. The fecal excretions of Fe and Cu in Pb groups were significantly higher than those of without Pb groups(p<0.001, p<0.001). The urinary Fe and Cu excretions were significantly higher than those of AFAC(p<0.001, p<0.001). There were significant differences between Pb groups and without Pb groups according to dietary Fe and Cu levels. So, dietary levels of adequate Fe and Cu were effective to reduce Pb accumulation in rats. It were showed that the decrease of food intake, FER, body weight gain, serum level of Fe and Cu in Pb groups than those of without Pb groups. And the increase of liver Pb accumulation, serum Pb levels, fecal and urinary Fe and Cu excretions were showed in Pb groups than those of without Pb groups by long term lead poisoning. Otherwise, adequate Fe and Cu administrations in Pb groups have preventive effects on the Pb poisoned rats.

$NiFeCr/(Cu/Co_{90}Fe_{10}){\times}N/NiFeCr$ 다층박막의 자기변형과 응력에 관하여 연구하였다. Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ 이중층의 수가 증가할수록 포화자기변형상수가 2층에서 $-5.6\times10^{-6}$로부터 20층에서 $-8.5\times10^{-6}$으로 감소하였다. CoFe층의 두께가 10에서 $20{\AA}$으로 증가되었을 때 포화자기변형상수의 크기가 약 $1\times10^{-6}$ 만큼 감소하였다. Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ 이중층의 층수가 2에서 20으로 증가 되었을때 다층박막의 인장응력의 크기가 980 MPa에서 590 MPa로 감소하였다. 자기변형과 박막의 응력으로부터 형성될 수 있는 최대 자기변형이방성자장은 Cu $15{\AA}$/CoFe $15{\AA}$ 이중층의 수가 10일 때 135.7 Oe 이었다.

Among the many maunfactured processes of producing multi filamentary composites, in situ process is widely used owing tv its simplicity and easyness of mass production. In this study, the mechanical and electromagnetic properties of Cu-Fe composite materials was investigated. The tensile strength of the Cu-Fe wires increased as the Fe content and reduction ratio were increased. The Cu-30 wt%Fe composites had the best properties in terms of figure merits compared to the other Cu-Fe composites made in this study or the commercially manufactured 6/1 ACSR cables of Cu cable. The coercivity was decreased by increasing Fe content, but the squareness was increased greatly. As increasing reduction ratio, the coercivity and squareness increased up to the maximum points, and then decreased. For example, the maximum values were obtained at $0.09mm{\phi}$ for Cu-30 wt%Fe composites and at $0.066mm{\phi}$ for Cu-45 wt%Fe composites. The magnetic property of Cu-Fe wires produced by precipitation treatment was higher than that of Cu-Fe wires produced by thermomechanical treatment. By annealing Cu-Fe wires after drawing process, the coercivity, remanence and squareness were improved.

Magnetoresistance of NiFeCo/Cu/NiFeCo/FeMn uncoupled exchange biased sandwiches has been studied. The magnetoresistance change ratio, ${\Delta}R/R_{s}$ showed 4.1 % at a saturation field as low as 11 Oe in $Si/Ti(50\;{\AA})/NiFeCo(70\;{\AA})/Cu(23\;{\AA})/NiFeCo(70\;{\AA})/FeMn(150\;{\AA})/Cu(50\;{\AA})$ spin valve structure. In this system, the magnetoresistance was affected by interlayer material and thickness. When Ti and Cu were used as the interlayer material in this structure, maximum magnetoresistance change ratio were 0.32 % and 4.1 %, respectively. 6.1 % MR ratio was obtained in $Si/Ti(50\;{\AA})/NiFeCo(70\;{\AA})/Cu(15\;{\AA})/NiFeCo(70\;{\AA})/FeMn(150\;{\AA})/Cu(50\;{\AA})$ spin valve structure. The magnetoresistance change ratio decreased monotonically as the interlayer thickness increased. It was found that the exchange bias field exerted by FeMn layer to the adjacent NiFeCo layer was ~25 Oe, far smaller than that reported in NiFe/Cu/NiFe/FeMn spin valve structure(Dieny et. al., ~400 Oe). The relationship between the film texture and exchange anisotropy ha been examined for spin valve structures with Ti, Cu, or non-buffer layer.

4$^{\circ}$기울어진 Si(111) 웨이퍼를 기판으로 사용하여 Cu(50$\AA$) 바닥층 위에 외부 자장의 인가없이 iFe(60$\AA$)/Co(0$\AA$$\leq$x$\AA$$\leq$15$\AA$)/Cu(60$\AA$)/Co(30$\AA$) 스핀밸브 박막을 형성하여, NiFe/Cu 계면에 삽입된 Co 층에 따른 스핀밸브 박막의 거대자기저항 특성의 변화와 NiFe 층의 자기이방성의 변화를 관찰하였다. NiFe/Cu 계면에 극히 얇은 Co층이 삽입됨에 따라, 스핀밸브 박막의 자기저항비는 약 1.5%에서 3.5%로 약 2배이상 증가하였고, NiFe층의 자화용이축이 90$^{\circ}$전이하여 Co(30$\AA$)층의 자화용이축과 같은 방향으로 정렬됨이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 극히 얇은 Co 층이 NiFe/Cu 계면에 삽입된 스핀밸브 박막에서 향상된 각형성(squareness)을 나타내는 자기저항곡선을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이는 MRAM을 비롯한 디지털 자기저항소자 응용에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, NiFe 박막을 동일한 기판과 바닥층에 형성하여, NiFe 박막과 Cu 바닥층이 이루는 계면에 Co 층의 삽입 유무에 따른 XRD 측정을 한 결과, NiFe/Cu 계면에 존재하는 Co층에 상관없이 NiFe 박막은(220) 배향을 타나냈었으며, 이로부터 극히 얇은 Co층의 삽입에 따른 NiFe층의 자기이방성의 변화는 NiFe/Cu 계면에서 NiFe/Co 계면으로 바뀜에 따른 계면 효과에 의한 것으로 사료되었다.
