Mn-Zn ferrite single crystals show some fluctuations in composition along the direction of growth by the conventional Bridgman method. The single crystal with a uniform composition was obtained by maintaining the liquid composition content. For example, two batches of powder were prepared : one is consisted of 52 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 30 mol% of MnO, and 18 mol% Zn(Composition A), and the other 53 mol% of $Fe_2O_3$, 28.5 mol% of MnO, and 18.5 mol% ZnO(Composition B). Crack-free single crystals with the uniform composition B were grown in a size of 60mm diameter, 300mm long by melting the pellets of composition A and followed by supplying the composition B as tablets. Initial permeabilities were obtained above 600 at 5 MHz in the region of 30~270 mm along the direction of growth.

After casting button-type small ingots of ternary Fe-Mn-S alloys which had three different Mn/S ratios (1, 5 and 70) in a vacuum arc furnace, the effect of the ratio on the sulfide formation was investigated. In case of the Mn/S ratio of 1, if alloy composition was located in an iron-rich corner on a Fe-Mn-S ternary phase diagram, only duplex MnS-FeS sulfide films were observed in the grain boundary. If the alloy composition was located in the miscibility gap area of the phase diagram, primary globular dendritic sulfides and dendritic sulfide slags were generated within the grain and tubular monotectic sulfides were also detected in the grain boundary. When the Mn/S ratio was 5, if the alloy composition was in the iron-rich corner, only bead-like sulfides were generated. On the other hand, if the composition was in the miscibility gap area, globular dendritic sulfides and dendritic sulfide slags were generated in the form of primary sulfide inclusions and rod-like eutectic sulfides were observed in the grain boundary. Especially, if the contents of Mn and S increased more in the miscibility gap area of the phase diagram, primary globular sulfides containing iron intrusions were observed. In case of Mn/S ratio of 70, if the contents of Mn and S was decreased in the Fe corner of the phase diagram, only bead-like sulfides were observed in the grain boundary. Despite the composition was outside the miscibility gap area of the phase diagram, if the contents of Mn and S increased, clusters of fine sulfide particles as well as fine spherical primary monophase sulfides were observed in the grain boundary.

In this study, diluted magnetic $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers were grown on GaAs(100) substrates by hot-wall epitaxy, and their characteristics were systematically examined. The maximum Mn composition of the $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers was 0.97. The crystallographic orientation was toward <100> and the structure of the $Zn_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te$ epilayers was the zincblende structure, identical to those of the GaAs substrate. With increasing the substrate temperature (350~$400^{\circ}C$), Mn composition increased (0.02~0.23) and he quality of the epilayer became worse. The lattice constants increased linearly with increasing Mn composition, but the band gap energy increased nonlinearly with increasing x.

The effects of variation in composition and the addition of small amount of the rare-earth oxides La2O3, CeO2 and Sm2O3 on the magnetic properties of Mn-Zn system ferrites, 0.5MnO.0.5ZnO.(1＋0.1X) Fe2O3(X=-1, 0, 1, 2), were investigated in the range of frequencies of 0.1~100 kHz. It was shown that the magnetic permeability of the specimens with the composition Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe2O4 was maximum in the Mn-Zn system ferrites, and that the addition of a small amount of the rare-earth oxides to the composition 0.5 MnO.0.5ZnO.0.9 Fe2O3 caused the sharp increase of magnetic permeability and the decrease of the loss factors.

Exchange anisotropy between IrMn antiferromagnetic layer and NiFe ferromagnetic layer has been studied in IrxMn(100-x)/NiFe/Buffr/Si(100) films deposited by D. C. magnetron sputtering method. Among Zr, Ta, and Cu used as buffer layer, Zr and Ta enhanced the fcc(111) texture of NiFe and IeMn layer, but Cu did not affect microstructure of those layer. Strong fcc(111) texture of IrMn layer was confirmed to be the origin of exchange anisotropy of IrMn. Ir composition control in IrMn layer showed that {{{{ gamma -phase}}}} IrMn is stabilized between 10 and 30 at % Ir, an 21 at. % Ir in IrMn layer was optimum composition that showed maximum exchange anisotropy field. above 200 ${\AA}$ thickness of IrMn, antiferromagnetic property is stabilzed to show saturated exchange anisotropy field. Based pressure was confirmed to be critical requisite in IrMn-based spin-valve GMR system.

Mn-Co-Ni oxide system has been used as the NTC thermistors for normal temperature applications. Mn-Co-Ni oxide-based thermistors with various compositions were sintered at 1250$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and then maintained at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The electrical properties of the thermistors fabricated were measured. In particular the MCN622 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$60 wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20 wt%, NiO 20wt%) exhibited the lowest resistivity and relatively high B constant. The MCN721 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$70wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20wt%, NiO 10 wt%) showed the higher resistivity than any other compositions. The aging properties of each composition showed comparatively stable characteristics within ${\pm}$2%.

The multiple length scale analysis of previously designed Fe-Mn-Al-C based low-density model alloys reveals the difference in ordered ${\kappa}-carbide$, $(Fe,Mn)_3AlC_x$, between Fe-25Mn-16Al-5.2C (at%) alloy and Fe-3Mn-10Al-1.2C (at%) alloy. For the former alloy composition consisting of fully austenite grains, ${\kappa}-carbide$ showed majorly cuboidal and minorly pancake morphology and its chemical composition was not changed through aging for 24 h and 168 h at $600^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile, for the isothermally annealed ferritic alloy system for 1 hr at 500 and $600^{\circ}C$, the dramatic change in the chemical composition of needle-shape ${\kappa}-carbide$, $(Fe,Mn)_3(Fe,Al)C_x$, was found. Here we address that the compositional fluctuations in the vicinity of the carbides are significantly controlled by abutting phase, either austenite or ferrite. Namely, the cooperative ordering of carbon and Al is an important factor contributing to carbide formation in the high-Mn and high-Al alloyed austenitic steel, while the carbon and Mn for the low-Mn and high Al alloyed ferritic steel.

The magnetic properties of Mg-Mn ferrites were investigated in the composition range of $Mg_{a}Mn_{b}Fe_{c}O_{4\pm\delta}$ (a+b+c=3) with the addition of $Al_{2}O_{3}$. In $MgO-MnO-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ ternary system, the spinel single phase existed within the composition range of MgO-50 mol%, MnO-70 mol% and $Fe_{2}O_{3}-60\;mol%$. The saturation magnetic flux density increased with the increase of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ content and showed the maximum at the stoichiometric composition of $(Mg,Mn)Fe_{2}O_{4}$. In $Mg_{x}Mn_{1-x}Fe_{2}O_{4}(x=0.2~0.8)$ system, the saturation magnetic flux density showed the maximum at $Mg_{0.2}Mn_{0.8}Fe_{2}O_{4}$. The addition of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ resulted in the decrease of saturation magnetic flux density but increased the electrical resistivity.

Oxide of the form $Mn_{3}O_{4}-NiO-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ present properties that make them useful as multilayer chip NTC thermistor for mobile phone NTC thermistor electric properties of $Mn_{3}O_{4}-NiO-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ system has been measured as a function of temperature and composition. In $Mn_{3}O_{4}-NiO-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ composition, it can be seen that resistivity and B-constant were increased as the ratio of $Mn_{3}O_{4}/F_{2}O_{3}$ and $Mn_{3}O_{4}$/NiO was increased. In particular, resistance change ratio (${\Delta}R$), the important factor for reliability varied within ${\pm}1%$, indicating the compositions of these products could be available for mobile phone.

The formation of manganese ferrite has been performed to investigate some properties according to the variation of compositions, pH, current density by electrolysis. It has been found that the amount of oxidized weight of anode were increased with increasing current density. The amount of oxidized weight of anode were most in pH 10. As the result of X-ray diffraction Mn Fe₂O₄ crystal composition in pH13. When the particles of Mn/sub x/ Fe/sub 3-x/O₄ were heated at 300℃, it has been shown typical Mn Fe₂O₄(JCPDS Card No. 10-319) in X=1 composition. As the result of SEM observation, the size of MnFe₂O₄ particles were about 0.1㎛, the shape of particles were spherical type. According to the above mentioned experimental condition, 0.1-0.5㎛ sub-micron particles of manganese ferrite were formed from the wasted manganese dry cell, through washing → reduction → electrloysis.
