  • We report the proper resistance-area products in the single crystalline bcc CoFe/MgO tunnel contact on nondegenerate n-Ge desirable for efficient spin injection and detection at room temperature. The electric properties of the crystalline CoFe(5 nm)/MgO(1.5,2.0,2.5 nm)/n-Ge(001) tunnel contacts have been investigated by I-V-T and C-V measurements. Interestingly, the tunnel contact with the 2-nm MgO exhibits the ohmic behavior with low resistance-area products, satisfying the theoretical conditions required for significant spin injection and detection. This result is ascribed to the presence of MgO layer between CoFe and n-Ge, enhancing the Schottky pinning parameter as well as shifting the charge neutrality level.

  • 본 연구에서는 하지층의 종류와 두께에 따라 $[Co(2\;{\AA}/Ni(8\;{\AA})]{\times}N$ 다층박막의 자기이방성 특성이 어떻게 변화하는지를 조사 하였다. 기판과 Co/Ni 다층박막 사이에 [111] 결정성을 갖는 하지층을 삽입함으로써 막평면과 수직한 방향 (out of plane)으로의 자화 용이축(easy-axis)을 갖는 다층박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 하지층으로 Au를 사용한 경우 그 두께를 $50\;{\AA}$에서 $500\;{\AA}$ 증가시킬수록 다층박막의 보자력(coercivity: Hc)이 99 Oe에서 430 Oe까지 증가하였다. 이는 하지층으로 쓰인 Au 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 Co/Ni 다층박막의 [111] 결정성이 개선되기 때문이다.

  • Molecular spintronics has attracted attentions, which combines molecular electronics with the spin degree of freedom in electron transport. Among various molecules as candidates of the molecular spintronics, single molecule magnet (SMM) is one of the most promising material. SMM molecules show a ferromagnetic behavior even as a single molecule and hold the spin information even after the magnetic field is turned off. Here in this report, we show the spin behavior of SMM molecules adsorbed on the Au surface by combining the observation of Kondo peak in the STS and ESR-STM measurement. Kondo resonance state is formed near the Fermi level when degenerated spin state interacts with conduction electrons. ESR-STM detects the Larmor frequency of the spin in the presence of a magnet field. The sample include $MPc_2$ and $M_2Pc_3$ molecules ($M\;=\;Tb^{3+}$, $Dy^{3+}$, and $Y^{3+}$ Pc=phthalocyanine) whose critical temperature as a ferromagnet reaches 40 K. A clear Kondo peak was observed which is originated from an unpaired electron in the ligand of the molecule, which is the first demonstration of the Kondo peak originated from electron observed in the STS measurement. We also observed corresponding peaks in ESR-STM spectra. [1] In addition we found that the Kondo peak intensity shows a clear variation with the conformational change of the molecule; namely the azimuthal rotational angle of the Pc planes. This indicates that the Kondo resonance is correlated with the molecule electronic state. We examined this phenomena by using STM manipulation technique, where pulse bias application can rotate the relative azimuthal angle of the Pc planes. The result indicates that an application of ~1V pulse to the bias voltage can rotate the Pc plane and the Kondo peaks shows a clear variation in intensity by the molecule's conformational change.

  • Nanotechnology has beenrapidly evolved from passive nanostructures where nanostructures with steadystructures and functions often used as parts of a product to activenanostructures which change their properties during use. Startingaround 2010, it is anticipated that researchers will cultivate expertise withsystems of nanostructures, directing large numbers of intricate components tospecified needs. One dimensional (1-D) nanostructures suchas nanowires and nanotubes are extremely attractive building blocks for nextgeneration devices because of their high surface to volume ratio and uniquesize dependent properties. In addition, their extremely high aspectratio offers researchers the potentials to build axial or radialheterostructures to integrate multiple functionality from intrinsic propertiesof the material or through interfacial phenomena. Spatialmanipulation and the ability to assemble and position nanostuructures in acontrolled matter so they are registered to define spaces is also a criticalstep toward scalable integration in high density nanodevices. In thispresentation, a generalized template directed electrodeposition with ancillaryassembly, contact will be presented to synthesize axial and radialheterostructures in cost-effective matter and these individual nanostructureswill be applied to spintronics, gas and biological sensors and thermoelectrics.

  • This study proposes a simple nano-patterning process for the fabrication of magnetic nanodot arrays on a large area substrate. Ni nanodots were fabricated on a large area (4 inches in diameter) Si substrate using the soft lithographic technique using self-assembled surface micelles of Polystyrene-block-Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer formed at the air/water interface as a mask. The hexagonal array of micelles was successfully transferred to a Ni thin film on a Si substrate using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. After ion-mill dry etching, a magnetic Ni nanodot array with a regular hexagon array structure was obtained. The Ni nanodot array showed in-plane easy axis magnetization and typical soft magnetic properties.
