Co-ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by the decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate, $Fe(acac)_3$ and Co acetylacetonate, $Co(acac)_2$ in benzyl/phenyl ether in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine at the refluxingtemperature of $295^{\circ}C$/$265^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. before cooling to room temperature. Particle diameter detected by PSA can be turned from 4 nm to 20 nm by seed-mediated growth and reaction conditions. Structural and magneticcharacterization of Co-ferrite were measured by use of HRTEM, SAED (selected area electron diffraction), XRD and SQUID. The as-synthesized Co-ferrite nanoparticles have a cubic spinel structure and coercivity of 20 nm $CoFe_{2}O_{4} nanoparticles reached 1 kOe at room temperature and 18 kOe at 10 K.

본 연구에서는 하지층으로 Mo을 사용한 스핀밸브구조에서 반강자성체 IrMn의 두께 변화에 따른 자기적 특성을 연구하였다. 사용된 스핀밸브는 Si기판/$SiO_2/Mo(17\;{\AA})NiFe(21\;{\AA})/CoFe(28\;{\AA})/Cu(22\;{\AA})/CoFe(18\;{\AA})/IrMn(t\;{\AA})/Ta(25\;{\AA})$ 구조이다. Mo 박막의 비저항은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 $650^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후 급격히 증가하였다. 반강자성체인 IrMn의 두께 변화(130 ${\AA}$까지)에 따른 자기저항비와 교환결합력을 측정하였다. IrMn의 두께가 65 ${\AA}$ 일때 자기저항비와 교환결합력은 9.65%와 337.5 Oe로 최고값을 나타냈다. 그러나 두께를 더욱 증가시킨 97.5 ${\AA}$ 일때 자기저항비와 교환결합력은 8.2%와 285 Oe로 감소하였으며, IrMn의 두께가 130 ${\AA}$ 일때 자기저항비와 교환결합력은 더욱 감소한 7.65%와 257.5 Oe이었다.

This paper presents the fabrication and test of a micropump with an electromagnetic actuator and a pair of aluminum flap valves. The actuator consists of a solenoid coil, a permanent magnet and an actuator diaphragm. The actuator diaphragm is fabricated by the spin coating of silicone rubber. The valve are passive ones and are fabricated by micromachining. The deflection of the fabricated actuator diaphragm is measured with a laser vibrometer. The deflection of the actuator diaphragm is proportional to the input current. The measured deflection of the fabricated diaphragm is $400 \mum$,/TEX> when the input is 118 mApp, and the cut-off frequency is 50 Hz. The maximum flow rate of the fabricated micropump with the electromagnetic actuator is about 5$0 \muell/min$ at 5 Hz when the input current and the duty ratio of the square was are 118 mApp and 50%, respectively.

Nanolithography by atomic force microscope local oxidation was applied to the fabrication of planar-type Ni/Ni oxide/Ni junctions from 10 nm-thick Ni films. The junction characteristics were sensitive to the lithography conditions such as the bias voltage. Successful oxidation produced junctions of nonlinear current-voltage characteristics, implying the formation of oxide barriers. Magnetoresistance (MR) at low temperatures resembled that of spin valves.

One problem in giant magnetoresistance(GMR) spin valves and magnetic tunneling junctions(MTJ) exchange biased by Mn-based antiferromagnets is the Mn diffusion into the ferromagnetic layer and other layers upon annealing.$^{1-3}$ It seems that Mn diffusion that may occur during annealing has a key role in the exchange biasing. We have fabricated multilayers inserting the nanolayer(NL) between antiferromagnet and ferromagent using ion-beam deposition system to study the diffusion effect for the exchange bias. (omitted)

In this paper, a thermopneumatic PMDS (polydimethlysiloxane) micropump with nozzle/diffuser elements is presented. The micropump is composed of nozzle/diffuser elements as dynamic valves, an actuator consisting of a circular PDMS diaphragm and a Cr/Au heater on a glass substrate. Four PDMS layers are used for fabrication of an actuator chamber, actuator diaphragm by a spin coating process, spacer layer, and nozzle/diffuser by the SU-8 molding process. The radius and thickness of the actuator diaphragm is 2 mm and 30 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. The length and the conical angle of the nozzle/diffuser elements are 3.5 mm and 20$^{\circ}$, respectively. The actuator diaphragm is driven by the air cavity pressure variation caused by ohmic heating and natural cooling. The flow rate of the micropump in the frequency domain is measured for various duty cycles of the square wave input voltage. When the square wave input voltage of 5 V DC is applied to the heater, the maximum flow rate of the micropump is 44.6 ${mu}ell$/min at 100 Hz with a duty ratio of 80% under the zero pressure difference.

We have investigated the effects of Ar and$O_2$-ion milling on the exchange coupling field ($H_{ex}$) and coercive field ($H_c$) at the interfaces between substrates and NiO/NiFe films, to understand the exchange biasing mechanism. The $O_2$-ion milling was successfully performed by means of the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) process. We found that the local roughness gradient of the NiO surface increased by $O_2$-ion milling. The ratio of $H_{ex}/H_c$ increased from 0.87 to 1.77, whereas $H_c$ decreased by almost a half as a results of the ion milling. The decrease in $H_c$could be interpreted as due to the refinement of magnetic domain size, which arose from the increase of the local roughness gradient of the NiO surface. The decrease in low $H_c$, and increase in $H_{ex}$ in NiO spin valves by ECR-ion milling are in the right direction far use in magnetoresistance (MR) heads.

수직자기이방성을 갖는 $[Pd/Co]_N$ 다층박막을 이용한 스핀밸브구조에서 Cu에 인접한 강자성층의 물질의 종류와 두께에 따른 자기적 특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 강한 수직자기이방성에 기인한 자유층의 큰 보자력을 줄이기 위하여 Cu 비자성층에 인접 한 강자성층에 물질을 NiFe, $Co_8Fe_2$, $Co_9Fe_1$로 삽입하여 각 물질이 갖는 수직 이방성 크기를 조절하여 수직자기 이방성을 갖는 스핀밸브 구조의 자기적 특성을 실험하였다. $Co_9Fe_1$ 물질을 Cu에 인접한 두 강자성층에 0.078 nm의 얇은 두께로 삽입한 결과 0.58%의 자기저항비를 가짐과 동시에 5 Oe의 작은 보자력을 나타내었다. 또한 그 두께를 0.7 nm로 증가시켰을 때 최대 6.7%의 자기저항비를 얻었고 자유층의 보자력을 약 100 Oe로 감소시켰다.

6개의 타겟을 가진 직류 마그네트론 방식을 이용하여 스파터링 전력 및 압력을 변화시켜 Si/Ta(50 $\AA$)NiFe(60 $\AA$)/CoFe(20 $\AA$)/Cu(26 $\AA$)/CoFe(40 $\AA$)/FeMn(150 $\AA$)Ta(50 $\AA$) 스핀 밸브 박막을 제조하여 교환자기이방성 및 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. FeMn 층의 증착시 스파터링 전력을 증가시킴으로써 교환이방성을 증가시킬 수 있었으며, X-선 회절 실험결과 스파터링 전력 증가에 따른 교환이방성의 증가는 FeMn (111)면의 우선성장 발달에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. 강자성상을 사이에 두고 있는 Cu의 스파터링 압력을 1-5 mTorr 증가시 교환이방성이 급격히 감소하며, 자기저항비 및 자장민감도도 감소하였다. Si/Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu(t), 30 W/CoFe, 100 W/FeMn, 100 W/Ta 스핀 밸브에서 Cu 두께를 22-38 $\AA$까지 변화시켜 자기저항비를 조사한 결과 Cu의 두께가 22 $\AA$일 때 자기저항비 6.5%까지 얻을 수 있었으며, Cu 두께를 감소시켜 교환이방성을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 이와 같은 Cu 두께 감소에 따른 교환이방성의 증가는 FM-AFM 스핀-스핀 상호작용에 의하여 설명하였다.
