나노크기의 기공을 갖는 AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)를 이용하여 Si 기판 위에 열 증착 방식으로 Ni 나노구조체를 제작하였다. 제작된 나노구조체는 직경과 높이가 80nm정도로 거의 비슷한 원기둥 형태를 보였다. Ni 나노구조체의 자기적 특성은 광자기효과(Magneto-Optic Kerr effect)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 함께 성장시킨 박막(continuous film)과 비교하였다. 종횡비(aspect ratio)가 1 : 1 정도인 나노구조체의 자화용이축은 평면방향으로 자화용이축을 보이는 박막과는 달리 수직자기이방성을 보여주었으며, 수직 및 수평방향으로 자기장을 가하면서 얻은 자기이력곡선(hysteresis loop)으로부터 나노구조체의 포화자기장(saturation field)과 보자력(coercivity)이 박막과는 많은 차이를 보였다. 박막에서 거의 무시할 만한 값을 갖는 수직방향의 자기이력곡선에서 측정된 잔류자화(remanent magnetization) 나노구조체에서는 0.3으로 크게 증가했다.

In situ surface magneto-optic Kerr effect(SMOKE), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and low energy electron diffraction(LEED) were used to study magnetic and structural properties of ultrathin Fe films grown on the Pd(111) surface. The SMOKE measurement showed strong enhancement of ferromagnetism after proper annealing process. Simultaneous changes in morphology was checked by LEED and XPS. After room temperature Fe deposition. longitudinal magnetization appeared above a critical thickness between 2.0 and 2.5 monolayers. When annealed at 450K, 2.0 monolayer Fe film exhibited boty longitudinal and polar magnetizations while 3.0 and 5.5 monolayer films showed little changes. After annealing at 600K, both magnetizations were totally destroyed in 2.0 monolayer film, but longitudinal magnetization was enhanced in 3.0 monolayer film. In the case of 5.5 monolayer film, it was only after 660K annealing that the enhancement of the longitudinal magnetization was observed. It was concluded that the surface flatness and the amount of intermixing were critical in the development of surface magnetism of this system.

We present the magnetisation reversal dynamics of epitaxial Fe thin films grown on GaAs(001) and InAs(001) studied as a function of field sweep rate in the range 0.01-160 kOe/s using magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE). For 55 and 250 ${\AA}$ Fe/GaAs(001), we find that the hysteresis loop area A follows the scaling relation A ∝ H$\^$${\alpha}$/ with ${\alpha}$=0.03∼0.05 at low sweep rates and 0.33-0.40 at high sweep rates. For the 150 ${\AA}$ Fe/InAs(001) film, ${\alpha}$ is found to be ∼0.02 at low sweep rates and ∼0.17 at high sweep rates. The differing values of ${\alpha}$ are attributed to a change of the magnetisation reversal process with increasing sweep rate. Domain wall motion dominates the magnetisation reversal at low sweep rates, but becomes less significant with increasing sweep rate. At high sweep rates, the variation of the dynamic coercivity H$\sub$c/ is attributed to domain nucleation dominating the reversal process. The results of magnetic relaxation studies for easy-axis reversal are consistent with the sweeping of one or more walls through the entire probed region (∼100 $\mu\textrm{m}$). Domain images obtained by scanning Kerr microscopy during the easy cubic axis reversal process reveal large area domains separated by zigzag walls.

본 연구에서는 광계측 기술을 이용하여 배전자동화 개폐기 내에서 발생하는 전자 계측장치의 절연문제 및 측정오차의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 배선자동화개폐기 내장형 광전류 및 광전압센서를 연구하였다. 자기광학 효과(magneto optic effect)인 페러데이효과(Faraday effect)를 이용하여 최적의 광전류 센서를 설계 제작하여 높은 전류까지 선형성을 유지시키고 다른 상의 전류에 대한 유도현상을 최소로 하기 위해 순철 코아를 사용하여 광전류 센서를 일체화시켜 설계 제작하였다. 설계내에서 결정의 굴절률 및 방위각의 변화에 의해 생기는 전기광학효과(electrooptic effect)인 포켈스 효과(pockels effect)를 이용하여 광전압센서를 구성하였으며 배전 자동화용 개폐기의 협소한 내부구조를 고려하여 공간전계방식을 채택하였다. 또한 다심의 광섬유를 개폐기와 외부의 신호처리 단말기와 연결하기 위하여 기밀형 멀티 광커넥터를 설계 자작하여 접속 손실 및 가스 누설 시험을 하였다. 전기적 특성시험에서 광 전류센서에서는 인가 전류에 대한 선형 특성은 20A 에서 700A까지 변동 오차 2.5% 이내의 선형성을 유지하였으며, 광전압센서에 있어서 인가 전압에 대한 선형 특성은 6.6kV에서 19.8kV까지 거의 변동 오차가 1% 이내로 우수한 선형 특성을 나타냈다.

Magneto-optic Kerr Effect(MOKE), AFM and magnetoresistance measurements have been carried out on as-deposited and annealed Magnetic Tunnel Junctions(MTJs) with junction sizes 180, 250, 320 and 380 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in order to investigate the correlation among interlayer exchange coupling, surface roughness and junction size. Relatively irregular variations of coercivity $H_{c}$ (∼17.5 Oe) and interlayer exchange coupling $H_{E}$ (∼17.5 Oe) are observed over the junction in as-deposited sample prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. After annealing at $200^{\circ}C$, $H_{c}$ decreases to 15 Oe, while $H_{ E}$ increases to 20 Oe with smooth local variation. $H_{E}$ shows very good correlation with surface roughness across the junction in agreement with Neel's orange peel coupling. The increasing slope per $\mu\textrm{m}$ of normalized $H_{c}$ and $H_{E}$ are same near junction edge along free-layer direction irrespective of junction size, giving relatively uniform $H_{c}$ and $H_{ E}$ for wider junction size. Thickness profiles of the junctions measured with $\alpha$-step show increasingly flat top surface for larger junctions, indicating better uniformity for large. junctions in agreement with the normalized$ H_{c}$ and H$/_{E}$ curves. TMR ratios also increase with increasing junction size, indicating improvement for larger uniform junctions.

Although yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has provided a great vehicle for the study of spin waves in the past, associated difficulties in film deposition and device fabrication using YIG had limited the applicability of spin waves to practical devices. However, microfabrication techniques have made it possible to characterize both the resonant as well as the travelling characteristics of spin waves in permalloy (Py). A variety of methods have been used for measuring spin waves, including Brillouin light scattering (BLS), magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR), and pulse inductive microwave magnetometry (PIMM). PIMM is one of the most preferred methodologies of measuring travelling spin waves. In this method, an electrical impulse is applied at one of two coplanar waveguides patterned on top of oxide-insulated Py, producing a local disturbance in the magnetization of the Py. The resulting disturbance travels down the Py in the form of waves, and is inductively picked up by the other coplanar waveguide. We investigate the effect of the pulse width of excitation pulses on the generated spin wave packets using both experimental results and micromagnetic simulations. We show that spin wave packets generated from electrical pulses are a superposition of two separate spin wave packets, one generated from the rising edge and the other from the falling edge, which interfere either constructively or destructively with one another, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the field bias conditions. A method of spin wave amplitude modulation is also presented by the linear superposition of spin waves. We use interfering spin waves resulting from two closely spaced voltage impulses for the modulation of the magnitude of the resultant spin wave packets.

We present the magnetisation reversal dynamics of epitaxial Fe thin films grown on GaAs(001) and InAs(001) studied as a function of field sweep rate in the range 0.01-160 kOe/s using magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE). For 55 and 250 ${\AA}$ Fe/GaAs(001), we find that the hysteresis loop area A follows the scaling relation $A\propto H_{\alpha} \;with\; \alpha=0.03\sim0.05$ at low sweep rates and 0.33~0.40 at high sweep rates. For the 150${\AA}$ Fe/InAs(001) film, $\alpha$is found to be ~0.02 at low sweep rates and ~0.17 at high sweep rates. The differing values of $\alpha$ are attributed to a change of the magnetisation reversal process with increasing sweep rate. Domain wall motion dominates the magnetisation reversal at low sweep rates, but becomes less significant with increasing sweep rate. At high sweep rates, the variation of the dynamic coercivity $H_c{^*}$ is attributed to domain nucleation dominating the reversal process. The results of magnetic relaxation studies for easy-axis reversal are consistent with the sweeping of one or more walls through the entire probed region (~100$\mu m$). Domain images obtained by scanning Kerr microscopy during the easy cubic axis reversal process reveal large area domains separated by zigzag walls.
