마그네타이트 분말에 대해 Verwey 전이 전후에서의 구조적, 전기적 및 자기적 성질을 고찰하였다. 마그네타이트 시료는 고온열분해법으로 합성한 나노입자를 $800^{\circ}C$, 진공을 뽑는 상태에서 1시간동안 열처리하여 얻었다. 시료의 형태학적, 결정학적 분석은 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscope, SEM)과 X-선 회절(X-ray diffraction, XRD)을 이용하였으며 시료진동형 자기력계(vibrating sample magnetometer, VSM)와 뫼스바우어 분광법, 비저항 측정 등을 통해 미시적/거시적 자성 및 전기적 특성을 각각 관찰하였다. Verwey 전이점에서 비저항과 자기모멘트의 불연속적 온도의존성을 관측하였으며 자기이방성상수가 $T_V$ 부근에서 약간 감소하는 것이 관찰되었다. 뫼스바우어 스펙트럼은 $T_V$ 전후에서 모두 사면체적 (A) 자리와 팔면체적 (B) 자리에 기인하는 2개의 6선 스펙트럼의 중첩으로 나타났으며 B자리에서 철 이온의 원자가에 따른 흡수선의 구분은 불가능하였다. $T_V$ 를 중심으로 하여 저온영역의 정상스피넬(normal spinel)에서 고온영역의 역스피넬(inverse spinel)의 배위교차(coordination crossover)가 발생하였다.

Magnetite is the oldest magnet material known to mankind. It is getting attention again from solid state physics researchers now a days because it is one of the most strongly correlated electron systems. Spin, charge, and orbital orders are interplaying with lattice and involved in the Verwey transition where magnetization, conductivity, and structure changes suddenly. The peculiar ordering states above and below the transition temperature mainly originate from the coexistence of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ ions in the B site of the inverse spinel structure. In particular, the state of the charge and orbital order was the oldest and most intriguing problem. NMR has made significant contribution to the investigation of this question. A. Abragam stated that there is no doubt that NMR is a very powerful tool for the study of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. In this mini-review, a short history of NMR investigation of magnetite is presented, providing a support to Abragam's claim.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) are currently active research areas in spintronics. The high magnetoresistance and the high spin polarization (P) of electrons in the ferromagnetic electrodes of tunnel junction or intermediate layers are required. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is predicted to possess as half-metallic nature, P ~ 100% spin polarization, and has a high Curie temperature (TC~850 K). Experiments demonstrated that the P~($80{\pm}5$)%, ~($60{\pm}5$)%, and ~40-55% for epitaxial (111), (110) and (001)-oriented Fe3O4 thin films, respectively. Epitaxial Fe3O4 films may enable us to investigate the effects of half metals on the spin transport without grain-boundary scattering.In addition, it has been reported that the Verwey transition (TV, a first order metal-insulator transition) of 120 K in bulk Fe3O4 is strongly affected by many parameters such as stoichiometry and stress, etc. Here we report that the growth modes, magnetism and transport properties of Fe3O4 thin films were strongly dependent on the oxygen pressure during film growth. The average roughness decreases from 1.021 to 0.263 nm for the oxygen pressure increase from $2.3{\times}10-7$ to $8.2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr, respectively. The 120 K Verwey transition in Fe3O4 was disappeared for the sample grown under high oxygen pressure.

Lewis bases were employed to control the stoichiometry of ferrite film prepared by light enhanced plating (LEP) technique. When 2,2'-bipyridyl was used as a Lewis base, conversion electron Mosbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) experiments showed that the main component of the ferrite films was metal-deficient magnetite (Fe3(1-δ)O4). Nonstoichiometry and roughness of LEP films were increased by the addition of 2,2'-bipyridyl. Using ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) as a Lewis base, produced film that was a mixture of magnetite and Υ-FeO(OH). No low temperature transition (Verwey transition) of magnetite was detected in resistivity and ac-susceptibility measurements for the LEP films. Surface morphology of the LEP films was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The size of dominant particles was about 0.2 μm.

A magnetic film was deposited on a slide glass substrate from aqueous solutions of $FeCl_2$ and $NaNO_2$ at 363 K. XRD analysis showed that the film was polycrystalline magnetite $(Fe_{3(1-{\sigma})}O_4)$ without impurity phase. The lattice constant was 0.8390 nm. Mossbauer spectrum of the film could be deconvoluted by the following parameters: isomer shifts for tetrahedral $(T_d)$ and octahedral $(O_h)$ sites are 0.28 and 0.68 mm/s, respectively, and corresponding magnetic hyperfine fields are 490 and 458 kOe, respectively. The estimated chemical formula of the film by the peak intensity of Mossbauer spectrum was $Fe_{2.95}O_4$. Low temperature transition of the magnetite (Verwey transition) was not detected in resistivity measurement of the film. Properties of the film were discussed with those of pressed pellet and single crystal of synthetic magnetites. On the surface of the film, magnetite particles of about 0.2 μm in diameter were identified by noncontact atomic force microscopy (NAFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM).

Monitoring of pH, especially under highly alkaline conditions, is necessary in various processes in the industrial, biotechnological, agricultural, and environmental fields. However, few pH indicators that can function at highly alkaline levels are available, and most of which are organic-based pH indicators. Several years ago, it was reported that gold nanoparticles prepared using trisodium citrate dihydrate were rapidly aggregated at pH values higher than ~12.7. A shift of surface plasmon resonance for such aggregated gold nanoparticles can be applied to pH indicators, allowing for the substitution of traditional organic-based pH indicators. The most important characteristic of pH indicators is the transition pH range. Herein, gold and silver nanoparticles are prepared using different reducing agents, and their transition pH ranges are examined. The results showed that all nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit similar transition pH ranges spanning 11.9-13.0, regardless of the nanoparticle material, reducing agents, and concentration.

지구의 암권에서 가장 중요한 자성광물은 자철석이다. 암석 내에 존재하는 자철석의 성분과 입자 크기에 관한 정보를 알아내는데 저온 자화특성을 이용하려 한다. 물리적 방법의 하나인 저온 자화특성 실험은 비파괴적이며 운석과 같이 연구 대상 시료의 수량이 제한된 경우 특히 유용하게 사용된다. 금번 연구에서는 세 종류의 합성 자철석 시료와 세 종류의 자철석 함유 암석 시료에 대해 저온포화잔류자화의 가열실험과 실온포화잔류자화의 냉각/가열 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 저온포화잔류자화는 가열함에 따라 자철석의 버웨이변환온도(~105~120 K)를 지나며 급격히 감소한다. 자철석의 버웨이변환온도와 등방점(135 K)를 모두 거치는 실온포화잔류자화의 냉각과 가열 실험 결과에서는 저온포화잔류자화의 가열 실험 결과와 비교하였을 때 자화회복력이 뛰어나고, 자화상실이 상대적으로 완만히 진행된다. 저온포화잔류자화와 실온포화잔류자화 모두 자철석의 입자 크기가 증가할수록 소실되는 포화잔류자화의 비가 증가한다. 결국 저온포화잔류자화기억도와 실온포화잔류자화기억도 모두 자철석의 입자가 커질수록 감소한다. 따라서 저온 자화특성을 이용하면 암석 내 자철석 입자의 크기를 비파괴적인 방법으로 유추할 수 있다.

$SiO_2$ 산화막이 제거되지 않은 Si(100) 기판 위에 실온에서 5 nm Ta과 5 nm MgO 기저층을 증착하고, 그 위에 RF 스퍼터링 기법으로 실온에서 약 35 nm 두께의 $Fe_3O_4$ 박막을 적층하였다. 진공 후열처리에 따라 향상된 $Fe_3O_4$ 박막의 결정성과 그에 따른 자기적 특성의 변화 양상을 관찰하였다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 후열처리한 시료에 대해, 실온에서 강자성 특성을 보았을 뿐만 아니라, $Fe_3O_4$ 박막의 고유한 특성으로 알려진 Verwey 상전이 현상 또한 관찰되었다. 후열처리에 의해 MgO 박막 위에 적층된 $Fe_3O_4$에 미치는 Ta 기저층의 영향에 대해 Ta이 삽입되지 않은 경우와 비교하여 논의 할 것이다.

We investigated the effects of deposition conditions on the fabrication of $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ thin films using a reactive DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of Fe oxide films dependence on the film thickness, oxygen flow rate, and the substrate crystallinity were also studied. We have successfully fabricated $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ film with thickness of about 10 nm under optimal reactive sputtering conditions. The saturation magnetization, resistivity, and Verwey transition of the $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ film were298 emu/cc, $4.0{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$, and 125 K, respectively.
