The films with ferromagnetic fine particles dispersed in nonmagnetic matrix, such as $Fe-Al_2O_3$ and Fe-Cu have been studied for use of magnetic recording medium, optically device and sensor. Their magnetic properties depend strongly on structural parameter such as size and volume fraction of ferromagnetic particles. Fe-Cr-Ni alloy sputtered films also have microstructure with ferromagnetic -- b.c.c phase and nonmagnetic f.c.c phase grains. Magnetic properties of these films depend strongly on such a unique structure. These are depend on the ratio in volume of ferromagnetic particles to nonmagnetic ones $V_F/V_N$, the saturation magnetization Ms increased with increase of $V_F/V_N$. The coercivity Hc of the as-deposited films took maximum value of about 200 Oe at adequate $V_F/V_N$ and then Ms and Squareness S were 500 emu/cc and 0.5, respectively.(omitted)

We are developing meander-shaped metallic magnetic calorimeters using micro-fabrication methods. A planar Nb coil in a meander shape was fabricated on a Si substrate. The coil was designed to have a persistent current using a metal heater evaporated on a part of the coil. A paramagnetic sensor, $5{\mu}m$ thick Au:Er foil, was glued on top of the meander structure with epoxy. The magnetization and heat capacity were measured at different temperatures, and applied field currents matched well with expected values. The detector showed an energy resolution of 4 keV FWHM for the 5.5 MeV alpha particles.

The spherical NiZn ferrite particles were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis with mixed solution of aqueous metal nitrates. The NiZn ferrite particle was observed with nano-sized primary particles of about 10 nm or less before annealing which represented as paramagnetic behavior measured at 77 K and room temperature. The typical abnormal growth of primary particles like polyhedral primary particles was observed by annealing at 1273 K with Zn-concentration dependency. The XRD patterns showed good crystallinity of NiZn ferrite powder after annealing. In annealing process, the intra-particle sintering phenomenon was observed and the spherical particle morphology was collapsed at 1673 K. The saturation magnetization of NiZn ferrite powder for each annealing temperature was decreased with measuring temperature of $77{\sim}$300K.

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) procedures is one of the promising techniques that enable overcoming low sensitivity problems in NMR spectroscopy. We constructed an ODNP-NMR system using a commercial benchtop EPR spectrometer. The $^1H$ NMR peak area of water in aqueous solutions of 4-hydroxy-TEMPO was enhanced more than 95 times in the ODNP-NMR experiments. Our signal enhancement results were about 55% of the previously reported result. This could be due to non-uniform microwave power over a sample and unwanted sample heating by microwave. However, this portable ODNP-NMR spectrometer will be eventually useful for site-specific detection with nano-scale spatial resolutions and molecular dynamics studies with significantly improved signal sensitivity.

Liposomes are defined as spherical, self-closed structures formed by lipid bilayers containing aqueous phase. Most liposomes are composed of various amphipathic lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol. We used amphipathic lipids (DPPC, DPPG) as liposome components and prepared around 100 nm liposomes by standard extrusion method. Nuclear/MR dual imaging agents based on liposome platform were prepared by adding radioactive $^{131}I$-HIB (hexadecyl-4-tributylstannylbenzoate) and Gd-DTPA into liposome bilayer and inside liposome, respectively. Gamma camera and MR imaging both showed signal increases in liver.

The $Cu[SO_3(CH_2)_4SO_3$］ㆍ$4H_2O$ compound was synthesized. The three-dimensional structure of $Cu[SO_3(CH_2)_4SO_3$］ㆍ$4H_2O$ compound was determined. The copper atom is bridged by 4 oxygen atoms of 4 water molecules and 2 oxygen atoms of butanedisulfonate. The butyl chain in the plane of four copper atoms is oriented parallel and perpendicular to the one of plane axis, alternatively. Magnetic data indicate that this compound behaves a typical paramagnetic.

Exogenous $Cu^{2+}$ or $Zn^{2+}$ at micromolar concentration had a strong inhibitory effect on detergent-solubilized cytochrome c oxidase. A similar effect was observed when $Cu^{2+}$ was added to vesicular cytochrome c oxidase, although the extent of inhibition was significantly larger for the uncoupled state than for the coupled state. Interestingly, the inhibition by $Zn^{2+}$ was almost negligible for both the coupled and uncoupled states. These results suggest that the binding sites for $Cu^{2+}$ ions are exposed to the extravesicular side. whereas those for $Zn^{2+}$ are exposed to the matrix side. The EPR spectra of bound $Cu^{2+}$ ions at 77 K indicate that each of the first two $Cu^{2+}$ ions is ligated by three or four histidine residues, as evidenced by distinct $^{14}N$ superhyperfine splitting. These $Cu^{2+}$ ions can not be removed readily by EDTA and inhibit the enzyme activity by as much as 80%.

In order to assess controversial' proposals concerning the fatty acid-induced uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, we investigated the interaction of stearic acid with key mitochondrial proteins and measured the effect of stearic acid on the respiration of cytochrome c oxidase vesicles. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of spin-labeled stearic acid clearly demonstrated that cytochrome c oxidase interacts strongly with stearic acid. However, the respiration of detergent-solubilized cytochrome c oxidase was not altered significantly by stearic acid. Surprisingly, adenine nucleotide carrier, which was assumed to bind and translocate fatty acid anions in the Skulachev model of uncoupling, did not bind stearic acid at all. The respiration rate of cytochrome c oxidase vesicles was increased by ~70% in the presence of $20{\mu}m$ stearic acid and this uncoupling was attributed to a simple protonophoric effect of stearic acid.

Spin Hamiltonian for the paramagnetic center with a three-fold symmetry and high spin ($S{\geq}2$) multiplicity should contain the fourth order zero-field splitting (ZFS) terms. Electron magnetic resonance transition lines of the center with S = 5/2 are expected to split in a pair when the magnetic field is applied off the principal axes of ZFS, while they are superimposed when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the principal axes of ZFS. In this study we report that the transition lines of $Mn^{2+}$ centers at the three-fold symmetric sites in $LiNbO_3$, chemically equivalent but physically different, split in two due to the nonzero fourth order ZFS term.

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal characteristic of the 5,5'-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO)-OH spin adduct, which is formed from the reaction of DMPO with superoxide radicals generated by xanthine oxidasemediated reaction, was significantly reduced by the cadaverine or Escherichia coli Mn-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Likewise, cytochrome c reduction by superoxide was inhibited by cadaverine, and the inhibition level increased in proportion to the level of cadaverine. The cadA mutant of Vibrio vulnificus, which does not produce cadaverine because of the lack of lysine decarboxylase, exhibits less tolerance to superoxide stress in comparison with wild type. The results indicate that cadaverine scavenges superoxide radicals, and protects cells from oxidative stress.
