We investigated the effect of Nb substitution for Ru on the structural and magnetic properties of $(Ru_{1-x}Nb_x)\;Sr_2(Sm_{1.4}Ce_{0.6})Cu_2O_z$ Samples. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that nearly single-phase samples are formed in the range from x = 0 to 1.0. The superconducting transition temperature determined from the inflection in the field-cooled magnetic susceptibility decreased only slightly from $T_c$ = 25 K for x = 0 to $T_c$ = 22 K for x = 1.0, in consistent with the change in room temperature thermopower of the samples. However, the Nb substitution for Ru above x = 0.25 significantly suppressed the weak ferromagnetic component of the field-cooled magnetic susceptibility. It was also found that the Nb substitution for Ru results in an enhanced diamagnetic susceptibility with Nb content above x = 0.5 in both zero field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization measurements, in contrast to the behavior of the samples with $x{\leq}0.5$ in which the diamagnetic susceptibility decreases as the Nb content increases.

The force acting on high Tc superconductors at 77K is measured and analyzed numerically. Both values are compared, and the difference between them is discussed. The forces, acting on a superconducting disk (thickness:1[mm], diameter:12[mm]) in an axially-symmetric magnetic field produced by a solenoid or a permanent magnet ring, are measured at 77K. The disk is an YBCO high Tc superconductor. The discrete surface current method(DSCM) is formalized for an axially-symmetric magnetic field. The forces of the superconducting disk in the magnetic field are analyzed using the DSCM, assuming that the disk is a perfect diamagnetic body. When the bottom side of the disk is separated 8[mm] from the top side of the solenoid, and the magnetic field applied on the center of the bottom side of the disk is 96[G], the measured value and the calculated value of the force are 96 and 496[mgf], respectively. The difference between them is caused by a non-perfect diamagnetism of the high Tc superconductor at 77K. It is proposed that a real force acting on high Tc superconductors at 77K can be estimated on the basis of a measured magnetic susceptibility of the high Tc superconductor at 77K and a calculated force of a perfect diamagnetic body.

The increase of B-type hydrogen bonding character between the hydrogen atom($H{\gamma}$) of methylene group in 1-(phenoxymethyl)benzotriazole (1) and 1-(thiophenoxymetyl)benzotriazole (2) derivatives, and solvents was caused by some factors such as;electron withdrawing strength (${\rho} > 0$) of X-substituent; local diamagnetic effect by Y atom (Y = O(1) > S(2)) with adjacent methylene group; and solvent polarity parameter ($E_T$ = Kcal/mol; acetone; 42.2 > chloroform; 39.0). From the basis on the findings, linear free energy relationship (LFER) components on the substituent chemical shift of methylene group ($CH_2-SCS$) in (1) exhibited a tendency that resonance(R)-effect was much larger than field(F) (or inductive(I))-effect in acetone and that the electrical effects were depend upon the solvent.

Amethyst is a precious stone in Korea. As natural quartz are usually mixed with smoky quartz, amethyst, and milky quartz, we need to evaluate the amount of the amethyst quantitatively in ores. Although the optical evaluation with bare eyes has been common in assay so far, we propose that the diamagnetic property and microstructural difference characterization be the solution for the evaluating the quartz ores. In addition, FTIR (Fourier transformation infra-red) could help to identify the amethyst transparency. We report that we could evaluate the amethyst quantitatively with M-H hysteresis characterization, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and FTIR characterization.

The charge transfer compounds $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH,\;(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$ were prepared from reactions of the TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) and metal halides. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic (UV,IR, EPR and XPS) methods, magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity measurements. The d.c electrical conductivities of the pressed pellets are in the order of $10^{-1}-10^{-3} Scm^{-1}$, which lies in the range of semiconductor region at room temperature. It means that the partially ionized TTF has stacked in low-dimensional chain in each compound. Spectroscopic properties also indicate that TTF molecules are partially ionized and charge transfer has occurred from (TTF)n to Fe(III) center in $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH$ whereas to the $-SbX_4^-$ entity in $(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$. The EPR g values are consistent with TTF radical formation and EPR linewidths suggest the delocalization of unpaired electrons along TTF stacks. A signal arised from metal (Fe and Sb) ions were not detected in EPR spectra, indicating that metal ion is in the diamagnetic state in each compound. The diamagnetic state was also examined by the magnetic susceptibility measurement. The magnetic properties reveal the significant interaction between the $TTF^+$ radical cations in the stacks. The oxidation state of metal ions was also investigated by XPS spectra.

In this paper. We experimentally investigated the magnetic properties of YBCO bulk superconductor using AC magnetization method. The sample is 2.8cm wide in a diameter and 1.4cm long. We applied Ac magnetic field parallel to the direction of length of YBCO bulk. It is observed that YBCO bulk has the diamagnetic properties. AC loss calculation of YBCO bulk superconductor was performed by evaluating the total area of magnetization traces. As depends on the frequency and amplitude of the applied magnetic field.

The magnetic levitation effect a high Tc superconductor beneath the toroidal permanent magnet was examined by means of a improved magnetic seesaw method. Magnetic effects associated with penetration and pinning in superconductor. One of these was focussing of magnetic field by superconductor and the other was magnetic levitation. The existence of equilibrium was shown to be related to hysteresis observed in the force separation for a toroidal permanent magnet and superconductor. Obtained results indicate that magnetic levitation effect in the present case was mainly due to diamagnetic effect.

The applicability of the two types of magnetic separation system, high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) and Magneto Archimedes method were studied considering the magnetic susceptibility of targeted substances. It was noted that the combination of the two methods can control the almost all the substances, paramagnetic and diamagnetic in addition to ferromagnetic substances. The principle of the methods was given and the conceput of the magnet force control technology is discussed. The practical applications of the technique were introduced together with the new application of HGMS.
