Soft magnetic Mumetal thin film was fabricated under magnetic field at various substrate temperatures. High vacuum annealing was carried out at 200$\^{C}$ during 1 hr. The in-plane anisotropy of Mumetal thin film was determined from hysteresis loops measured by VSM when the sample axis varied from the field direction from 0°to 180°. As the substrate temperature increases, the coercivity in easy direction decreases, but uniaxial anisotropy deviates from the field direction. After vacuum annealing at 200$\^{C}$ for 1 hr, the uniaxial anisotropy is improved irrespective of substrate temperature. When the substrate temperature was 50$\^{C}$, the anisotropy field is 4.3 Oe. As the substrate temperature increases anisotropy field decreases. Uniaxial anisotropy of Mumetal thin film was formed best at 50$\^{C}$ before and after annealing.

Magnetic multilayers of a ferromagnetic (FM)/insulator (I)/ferromagnetic (FM) structure have been studied to investigate magnetic exchange coupling between two FM layers. As the Mumetal $(Ni_{77}Fe_{14}Mo_{5}Cu_4$ wt%) growth temperature increases, the grain size and the surface roughness increase simultaneously. The smallest coupling field is obtained at $40^\circ{C}$ where the grain size is larger than that of the $20^\circ{C}$ sample. The exchange coupling field increases again at temperatures higher than $40^\circ{C}$ due to increase in the surface roughness of the Mumetal.

The dependence of the magnetoimpedance effect (MI) on magnetic properties has been investigated in mumetal thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering. Coercivity of thin films prepared at 400 W was about 0.4 Oe, and the magnetic anisotropy field of films deposited under a uniaxial magnetic field decreased with increasing film thickness. The saturation magnetization of mumetal films increased with rising input power and thickness and was smaller than that of permalloy films. Transverse incremental Permeability (TPR) of films of 1$\mu m$ thick increased with increasing effective permeability. The magneto impedance ratio (MIR) was proportional to TPR in films 1$\mu m$ thick but in spite of lower effective permeability at higher thicknesses, MIR increased due to skin effect. The height of the double peaks in the MIR curves decreased with decreasing anisotropy and thickness. The maximum MIR value for a 4$\mu m$ thick 75% at 36.5 MHz.

Magnetoresistance (MR) of mumetal/Co/Co/Co multilayer is measured as a function of surface etching on the top Co layer by ion beam etching system. As the etching process proceeds, Co thickness and roughness decreases. MR is dominantly affected by Co layer thickness, but surface roughness makes no significant effect on the MR of mumetal/Co/Cu/Co multilayer.

A magnetically shielded room has been constructed for biomagnetic applications. The room has internal dimensions of $2\;m(length){\times}2\;m(width){\times}2.5\;m(height)$ and it consists of high permeability Mumetal and high conductivity alummum, utilizing ferromagnetic shielding and eddy current shielding. The de shielding factor around the center of the room is above 60 dB, and the ac shielding factors at 1 and 10 Hz are larger than 60 and 80 dB, respectively. The internal magnetic field noise at 1 Hz is $500\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$ and at 10 Hz is $100\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$, and the field gradient noise at 1 Hz is below $7\;fT/cm{\sqrt}Hz$. Successful measurements of cardiomagnetic fields usmg SQUID magnetometer and neuromagnetic fields using SQUID gradiometer have been done.
