The effects of B additions, alone or in combination with Si, on the microstructure, $DO_3{\rightleftharpoons}B2$ transition temperature($T_c$) and corrosion behavior of Fe-25at%Al alloys were investigated. The raw materials were arc-melted in vacuum and then subjected to the following heat treatments to maximize the $DO_3$ order : homogenized at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 48hrs, slowly cooled to $500^{\circ}C$, and held at that temperature for 24hours. Results showed that the B addition to Fe-25at%Al alloys does indeed refine the grain and change from intergranular to transgranular fracture mode at room temperature, indicating a strengthening of grain boundaries. The Fe-25at% Al-1at% B-3at% Si alloy showed the highest $T_c$(${\Delta}T_c=150^{\circ}C$) in this work. However, the effectiveness of Si in raising $T_c$ decreased with more than 5at% Si additions combined with B. Since the preferential corrosion occurs at the precipitates, the corrosion resistance decreased due to the increased amount of precipitates with alloying additions.

The basic soft magnetic characteristics of a typical Fe based amorphous $Fe_{80}B_{15}Si_{5}$ alloy were measured with pulse metheod. Quantitative relations between magnetostriction, anisotropy energy, reluctivity were investigated. The relative contribution factor of magnetostrictive and uniaxial anisotropy energy to the reluctivity were calculated. The internal stress and induced anisotropy were estimated. A tension applied to the long axis of the sample greatly enhanced induced anisotropy.

We report the preparation of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite, $CoFe_2O_4$, particles using recycled $Co_3O_4$ and their surface coating with silica using micro emulsion method. Firstly, the $Co_3O_4$ powders were separated from waste cemented carbide with acid-base chemical treatment. The cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with the size 10 nm are prepared by thermal decomposition method using recycled $Co_3O_4$. $SiO_2$ was coated onto the $CoFe_2O_4$ particles by the micro-emulsion method. The $SiO_2$-coated $CoFe_2O_4$ particles were studied their physical properties and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and CIE Lab value.

자기기록의 고밀도화로 인해 보자력(Hc)이 큰 자기기록매체가 필요하게 되었다. 고보자력매체에 신호를 충분히 기록하기 위해서는 보다 강한 자장이 필요하다. 이 때문에 포화자화(Ms)가 큰 재료가 필요하며 고주파 영역에서 실효투자율($\mu$eff)이 높아야 한다. Fe계 합금박막은 이에 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 Fe의 결정자기이방성에 영향을 미치는 Si과 Fe의 격자 변형을 유도할 수 있는 B를 첨가하였다. Fe-B-Si 계 박막을 질소분위기 중에서 RF Matnetron Sputter로 제작하여 연자기적 특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. Fe91.49B4.01Si4.50at% 박막은 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리를 행함으로써 약 900(10MHz) 정도의 투자율과 7.6Oe의 보자력을 나타냈으며 포화자화는 1300emu/㎤를 얻었다.

$Pb(Fe_{0.5}Nb_{0.5}O_3(PFN)$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron co-sputtering method on $SiO_2/Si$, ITO/glass, and $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates and post-annealed at the $N_2$ atmosphere by RTA(rapid thermal annerling). The degree of crystallinity of PFN films was identified on various substrates. Electrical properties of PFN films was characterized for $Pt/PFN/Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ structure. The composition of PFN films was estimated by EPMA (electron probe micro analysis). PFN films would be crystallized better to perovskite phase on ITO/glass substrate than $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. This may be induced by the deformation of Pb deficient pyrochlore phase due to Pb diffusion into $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. PFN films on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. PFN films with 5-10% Pb excess were crystallized to perovskite phase from $500^{\circ}C$ temperature. In summary, we show that Pb composition and annealing temperature were critically influenced on crystallinity to perovskite phase. When PFN film with 17% Pb excess was annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ at the $N_2$ atmosphere for 300kV/cm and 88. Its remnant polarization coercive field $2.0 MC/cm^2$ and 144kV/cm, respectively.

Nanopowders of $Fe_3N$ and Si were fabricated by high-energy ball milling. A dense nanostructured $12Fe-Si_3N_4$ composite was simultaneously synthesized and consolidated using a high-frequency induction-heated sintering method for 2 minutes or less from mechanically activated powders of $Fe_3N$ and Si. Highly dense $12Fe-Si_3N_4$ with a relative density of up to 99% was produced under simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and the induced current. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated.

The effect of Mn additive on the thermoelectric properties of Fe-Si alloys prepared by a RF inductive furnace was investigated. The electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were measured as a function of temperature under Ar atmosphere to evaluate their applicability to thermoelectric energy conversion. The electrical conductivity of the specimens increased with increasing temperatures showing typical semiconducting behavior. The electrical conductivity of Mn-doped specimens are higher than that of undoped specimens and increased slightly with increasing the amount of Mn additive. This must be due to the difference in carrier concentration and the amount of residual metallic phase ${\varepsilon}$-FeSi(The ${\varepsilon}$-FeSi was detected in spite of 100 h annealing treatment at $830^{\circ}C$). And metallic conduction increased slightly with increasing the amount of Mn additive. On the other hand, Mn-doped specimens showed the lower Seebeck coefficient due to metallic phase. The power factor of Mn-doped specimens are higher than that of undoped specimens and would be affected by the electrical conductivity more than Seebeck coefficient.

Fe-(3∼6.5wt%) Si alloy powders having a high magnetic induction(Bs) and a low core loss value for high frequency use were obtained by an extractive melt spinning as well as a centrifugal atomization technique. Sintered core rings made by the rapidly solidified Fe-6.5wt% Si powders exhibited the high frequency magnetic properties : megnetic induction(B8) of 1.23 T, coercivity(Hc) of 0.12 Oe, relative permeability(${\mu}$a) of 6321, and core loss(W10/50) of 1.27 W/kg from the rings of 1.1 mm thick. The magnetic induction values were found to be almost identical to those of non-oriented Fe-6.5wt% Si steel sheet and double the value of 6.5wt% Si sheet prepared by the CVD technique. The high frequency core losses(W) up to 10 kHz(W10/10k) were measured to be competitive to those of grain-oriented Fe-6.5wt% Si steel sheet.

A lean alloy is defined as a low alloy steel with a minimum amount of the alloying element that maintains the characteristics of the sintered alloy. It is well known that the addition of elements such as Cr, P, Si, or Mn improves the mechanical characteristics of the alloy, but decreases the sinterability. The mother alloy is used to avoid an oxidation reaction with the alloying elements of Cr, P, Si or Mn. The purpose of this study is to determine the change in the mechanical properties of Fe-P-Mo and Fe-P-Mn alloys as a result of the addition of Si. In this article, the Fe-P-Mo and Fe-P-Mn alloys to which Si is added are compacted at $7.0g/cm^3$ and then sintered in $H_2-N_2$ at $1120^{\circ}C$. The P around the macropores and large grains reduces due to the formation of $SiO_2$ as the Si content increases. This is caused by the increase in strength owing to reducing intergranular fracture by suppressing the reaction with oxygen.

$NiFe/TbCo/Si_3N_4$ thin films were fabricated, which can be employed as dualOongitudinal and transverse) biased magnetoresistive elements utilizing surface magnetic exchange at the interface of NiFe/TbCo films. When Tb area percent was 36 % and substrate bias was not applied, magnetic exchange fields of 100~180 Oe were obtained. The thicknesses of NiFe, TbCo and $Si_3N_4$(Protective layer) were $470\;{\AA},\;2400\;{\AA}\;and\;600\;{\AA}$, respectively. Magnetoresistance ratio of 1.45 % was obtained using NiFe films fabricated with 1000 W power and 2.5 mTorr of Ar pressure. The MR ratio of microstructured elements was reduced to 1.31 % and the MR response curves were shown not to saturate due to demagnetizing fields of the elements. When elements were fabricated with $36^{\circ}$ of misalignment with respect to the exchange field direction using films having 150 Oe exchange field, MR response curve was shifted by 85 Oe, and the operating point of the device shifted to the linear region of the response. Also, the Barkhausen noise was eiminated due to longitudinal bias field originating from the exchange field.
