A highly sensitive magnetic sensor using the Giant MagnetoImpedance effect has been developed. The sensor performance is studied and estimated. The sensor circuitry consists of a square wave generator (driving source), a sensing element in a form of composite wire of a 25 $\mu$m copper core electrodeposited with a thin layer of soft magnetic material ($Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$), and two amplifier stages for improving the gain, switching mechanism, scaler circuit, an AC power source driving the permeability of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing element into a dynamic state, and a signal pickup LC circuit formed by a pickup coil and an capacitor. Experimental studies on sensor have been carried out to investigate the key parameters in relation to the sensor sensitivity and resolution. The results showed that for high sensitivity and resolution, the frequency and magnitude of the ac driving current through the sensing element each has an optimum value, the resonance frequency of the signal pickup LC circuit should be equal to or twice as the driving frequency on the sensing element, and the anisotropy of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing wire element should be longitudinal.

스위칭 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 비정질 강자성 CoFeSiB 자유층을 갖는 자기터널접합 (MTJ)의 스위칭 특성을 연구하였다. 자기터널접합의 구조는 $Si/SiO_{2}/Ta$ 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe 10/CoFe $7/AlO_{x}/CoFeSiB\;(t)/Ru\;60\;(nm)$이다. CoFeSiB는 $560\;emu/cm^{3}$의 낮은 포화자화도와 $2800\;erg/cm^{3}$의 높은 이방성 상수를 가졌다. 이러한 특성이 자기터널접합의 낮은 보자력($H_{c}$)과 높은 자장민감도를 갖게 한다. 이것은 또한 Landau-Lisfschitz-Gilbert 방정식에 근거한 미세자기 전산시뮬레이션을 통하여 submicrometersized elements에서도 확인하였다. CoFeSiB 자유층 두께를 증가함으로서 스위칭 특성은 반자화 자기장의 증가로 인하여 더욱더 나빠졌다.

Located in the eastern part of the Anti-Atlas, the Tafilalet region shows numerous dykes and sills that crosscut the Paleozoic terrains. The magmatic structures (dykes and sills) of the Tadaout-Tizi n'Rsas (TTR) anticline is studied here, it located neighboring the main branch of the Anti-Atlas Major Fault (AAMF), known in this location as the Oumejrane-Taouz Fault (OJTF). The N20° to N60° trending dykes crosscut the Paleozoic formations (Ordovician to Devonian), whereas sills are injected into the Silurian and Devonian ones. The dyke swarms of TTR have been studied using the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS), petrographic study and structural analyses. The petrographic study of the TTR doleritic dykes shows a dominance of plagioclase feldspars, alkali feldspars, amphiboles, pyroxenes and biotite. The dykes contain also mesotype (natrolite), sphene (titanite), apatite, actinolite and pegmatitic enclaves of biotite, orthoclase feldspars and pelites. Concerning field works, they show the deformation of TTR dykes by the Variscan tectonics events, it is marked by the presence of displacements (strike-slip faults) and cleavages. The Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) measured on magmatic specimens show the dominance of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic minerals. The high values of MS in the dykes are due to the presence of hematite, amphibole, pyroxene and biotite. In addition their magnetic fabric, determined by our AMS study, allows us to reconstitute the tectonic event which affected the magmatic bodies. This one is characterized by a magnetic foliation and a NNW-trending lineation that reflect the Variscan shortening orientation.

The spontaneous Hall effect in amorphous Tb-Fe and Sm-Fe thin films, which possess excellent magnetic softness, is investigated in this work to seek a possibility of practical applications of these thin films as sensors. The resistivity of Tb-Fe thin films ranges from 180 to 250 Ωcm as the Tb content varies from 35 to 46 at. %. Tb-Fe thin films show negative Hall resistivity ranging from - 7.3 to - 5.0 Ωcm in the same composition range, giving the normalized resistivity ratio in the range of -4.1 to -2.0 %. On the other hand, the resistivity of Sm-Fe thin films ranges from 150 to 166 Ωcm as the Sm content varies from 22 to 31 at. %. Sm-Fe thin films show positive Hall resistivity which varies from 7.1 to 2.8 Ωcm in the same composition range, giving the normalized resistivity ratio in the range of 4.8 to 1.7 %. These values are significantly high compared with the values of other R-T alloys, Tb-Co alloys for example, where the highest reported value is 2.5 %. Between the two different sets of samples, Tb-Fe thin films with perpendicular anisotropy are considered to be more suitable for practical applications, since saturation is reached at a los magnetic field, approximately 2 kOe in a Tb$\sub$35.1/ Fe$\sub$64.9/ thin film, for example.

High performance magnetic materials are characterized by the combination of outstanding magnetic properties and optimized microstructures, e.g., nanocrystalline composites of multilayers and small particle systems. The characteristic parameters of the hysteresis loops of these materials vary over more than a factor of $10^{6}$ with optimum values for the coercive field of several Tesla and permeabilities of $10^{6}$. Within the framework of the computational micromagnetism (nanomagnetism) using the finite element method the upper and lower bounds of the coercive field of different types of grain ensembles and multilayers have been determined. For the case of nanocrystalline composites the role of grain size, exchange and dipolar coupling between grains and the degree of grain alignment will be discusses in detail. It is shown that the largest coercivities are obtained for exchange decoupled grains, whereas remanence enhancing requires exchange coupled grains below 20 nm. For composite permanent magnets based on $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$ with an amount of ~ 50% soft $\alpha$-Fe-phase coercivities of ${\mu}_{0}H_{c}=0.75\;T$, a remanence of 1.5 T and an energy product of $400\;kJ/m^{3}$ is expected. In nanocrystalline systems the temperature dependence of the coercivity is well described by the relation ${\mu}_{0}H_{c}=(2\;K_{1}/M_{s}){\alpha}-N_{eff}{\mu}_{0}M_{s}$, where the microstructural parameters $\alpha$ and $N_{eff}$ take care of the short-range perturbations of the anisotropy and $N_{eff}$ is related to the long-range dipolar interactions. $N_{eff}$ is found to follow a logarithmic grain size size dependence ${\mu}_{0}H_{c}=(2\;K_{1}/M_{s}){\alpha}-N_{eff}(\beta1nD){\mu}_{0}M_{s}$. Several trends how to achieve the ideal situation $\alpha$->1 and $N_{eff}$->1->0 will be discussed.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) are currently active areas of research. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, ~100% spin polarization (P), and has a high Curie temperature (TC~850 K). On the other hand, Spinel ferrite CoFe2O4 has been widely studies for various applications such as magnetorestrictive sensors, microwave devices, biomolecular drug delivery, and electronic devices, due to its large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, chemical stability, and unique nonlinear spin-wave properties. Here we have investigated the magneto-transport properties of epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 thin films. The epitaxial CoxFe3-xO4 (x=0; 0.4; 0.6; 1) thin films were successfully grown on MgO (100) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The quality of the films during growth was monitored by reflection high electron energy diffraction (RHEED). From temperature dependent resistivity measurement, we observed that the Werwey transition (1st order metal-insulator transition) temperature increased with increasing x and the resistivity of film also increased with the increasing x up to $1.6{\Omega}-cm$ for x=1. The magnetoresistance (MR) was measured with magnetic field applied perpendicular to film. A negative transverse MR was disappeared with x=0.6 and 1. Anomalous Hall data will be discussed.

광자기 디스크의 제조시 기록막내부의 산소함량에 따른 기록 및 자기적 특성의 변화를 연구하였다. 기록막내의 산소함량 변화는 반응성 스퍼터링에 의해 조절하였으며 스퍼터링 전과정 동안 산소의 거동을 in-situ 잔류가스분석기로 조사하였다. 산소함량의 증가에 따라 보자력은 감 소하였으나 수직이방성 및 수직 각형비등은 변화하지 않았다. 대부분의 첨가된 산소는 스퍼터링 과정중 소모되어 Tb원자와 안정한 산화물을 형성하여 자기적 조성의 변화를 초래하였지만 임계기 록크기와 임계외부자계크기에만 약간의 변화를 가져왔을 뿐 디스크의 기록신호잡음비에는 별로 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 디스크의 신뢰도면에서도 크게 감소하지 않았다.

Grain boundary diffusion technique with $DyH_3$ nanoparticles was applied to fabricate Dy-less sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets with high coercivity. The magnetic properties and microstructure of magnets were systematically studied. The coercivity and remanence of grain boundary diffusion magnet were improved by 60% and reduced by 7% compared with those of the original magnet, respectively. Meanwhile, both the remanence temperature coefficient (${\alpha}$) and the coercivity temperature coefficient (${\beta}$) of the magnets were improved after diffusion treatment. Investigation shows that Dy is preferentially enriched as (Nd, Dy)$_2Fe_{14}B$ phase in the surface region of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ matrix grains indicated by the remarkable enhancement of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy field of the magnet. As a result, the magnet diffused with a small amount of Dy nanoparticles possesses enhanced coercivity without remarkably sacrificing its magnetization.

고주파 마그네트론 스파터링 방법으로 제작한 다결정 $Ni_{83}Fe_{17}$ 합금박막의 열처리 효과를 고찰하기 위하여 제작된 시료를 $135^{\circ}C,\;225^{\circ}C$의 공기분 위기 및 $160^{\circ}C,\;220^{\circ}C,\;330^{\circ}C,\;390^{\circ}C\;및\;420^{\circ}C$의 아르곤 분위기에서 각각 1시간씩 열처리한 후, 강자성 공명실험을 통해 스핀파 특성변화를 고찰했다. 정자기장을 박막면에 수직한 방향으로 인가하면서 측정한 강자성 공명실험에서 여러개의 스핀파 모우드가 관측되었는데, 열처리하지 않은 시료와 아르곤 분위기에서 열처리한 시료에서는 홀수모우드만 관측되었다. 공기중 $225^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 한 시료에서는 시료양면의 표면이방성차가 증가하여 짝수모우드의 스핀파도 관측되었다. $420^{\circ}C$의 아르곤 분위기에서 열처리한 시료의 경우, 스핀파들이 높은 자기장 쪽으로 이동하는 모습을 보였는데, 이와같은 현상은 열처리과정에서 시료의 포화자화가 증가했기 때문으로 생각된다. 또한 스핀파들 사이의 간격들이 급격히 좁아지는 경향을 보였는데, 이는 시료내부의 자기적 균일성이 증가하는데 그 원인이 있는 것으로 해석된다.

Mn 치환이 역스피넬 산화물 $Fe_3O_4$에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 졸겔 스핀코팅 방법을 이용하여 다결정 $Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ 박막을 Si(100) 기판 위에 제작하고 그 구조적, 자기적, 자기저항특성들에 대한측정 및 분석을 수행하였다. X-선 회절 측정 결과, Mn 성분비가 증가함에 따라 x = 1.78까지 입방 구조를 유지하며, 그 격자상수는 증가함을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 격자상수 증가의 주된 원인으로 사면체 자리를 선호하는 $Mn^{2+}$ 이온이 이온반경이 상대적으로 작은 사면체 자리의 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온을 치환함에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 박막들에 대한 진동시료자화 측정 결과, Mn 성분비 증가에 따라 포화자화량은 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았는데, Mn과 Fe 이온들의 스핀 자기능률 값 비교를 통하여 그 정성적인 설명이 가능하다. 반면 Mn의 농도가 증가함에 따라 보자력은 감소하였는데, 이는 $Mn^{2+}$ 치환에 의한 $Fe^{2+}$ 이온 농도의 감소에 따르는 자기 이방성의 감소에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. 자기저항 효과측정 결과, Mn 성분비 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 자화 의존도 변화와 비교분석 결과 다결정 $Mn_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ 박막 시료들에서 나타나는 자기저항은 스핀분극된 carrier의 grain boundary tunneling 및 spin-flip 현상에 의한 것으로 해석된다.
