Low temperature micro-calorimeters have been employed in the field of high resolution alpha spectrometers. These alpha detectors typically consist of a superconducting or metal absorber and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can be a transition edge sensor (TES), a metallic magnetic calorimeter (MMC) or other low temperature detectors for an accurate measurement of temperature change due to an alpha particle absorption. We report a recent study of the heat flow between a replaceable absorber and a temperature sensor. A piece of gold foil in $2.4{\times}2.7{\times}0.03\;mm^3$ is used as an absorber. A $40\;{\mu}m$ diameter Au:Er paramagnetic sensor is attached to another small piece of gold foil in $400{\times}200{\times}30\;{\mu}m^3$ to serve as the temperature sensor. This sensor assembly, Au:Er and gold foil, is placed on a miniature SQUID susceptometer in a gradiometric configuration. The thermal connection between the absorber and the sensor was made with three gold bonding wires. The measured thermal conductance shows a linear dependence to the temperature. The values are in a good agreement with Wiedemann-Franz type thermal conductance of the gold wires.

Ferromagnetic 3d 전이금속과 paramagnetic 5d 금속으로 이루어지진 Pt-Co 계는 자기이방적 (magnetic anisotropy) 성질로 인하여 많은 관심을 모으고 있는 계로서는 다층박막 및 합금박막에 대한 지기적 성질에 대한 많은 연구가 있어 왔다. 최근 sputtering method 에 의해 제작된 Pt-Co 합금박막에 대해 Ar 기체분압에 따라 보자력 (coercivity)이 변화되고 PMA (perpendicular magnetic anisotropy)를 갖는 것을 관측하였다. PMA의 근원은 주로 계면에서의 anisotropy 에너지와 관련이 있는 것으로 이해되기 때문에 합금박막의 경우는 PMA가 불가능한 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 그럼으로서 PMA에 대한 근원에 대한 명확한 해석이 필요하게 되었다. 또한 보자력(coercivity)은 불순물의 함량이 감소할수록, 그리고 내부적 변형이 제거될수록 감소하기 때문에, 계면 및 결정구조와 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 자기적 특성을 관찰하고자 [Pt(51 )/Co(112 )]4, [Pt(90 )/Co(66 )]4, 그리고 [Pt(121 )/Co(30 )]4, 다층박막과 이들 박막을 80kV Ar+ 이온선 혼합후 박막의 결정성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 GXRD (glancing x-ray diffraction) 스펙트럼을 얻어보았다. 그 결과 세 system 모두 disordered fcc 합금박막임을 확인하였다. fcc(111) 방향에 대한 평균 격자공간(lattice spacing)의 크기변화는 한층 당의 Co 두께가 두꺼울수록 거의 선형적으로 감소함을 볼수 있었다. MOKE 실험에 의하면, 이들 다층박막이나 합금박막의 경우 모두, in-plane 방향에 대해 자화 용이축(easy magnetization axis)을 가지고 있었다. 그리고 보자력의 크기에 있어서, 다층 박막의 경우에 있어서 Co 층에 두께 두꺼울수록 보자력의 크기가 감소하였지만 그림1에서와 같이 합금박막의 경우는 정반대로 Co층의 두께가 얇을수록 보자력의 크기가 감소함을 관찰하였다.

The magnetic alloys of Cu-Fe ($Cu_{50}Fe_{50},\;Cu_{80}Fe_{20}\;and\;Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$) were prepared by a mechanical alloying method and their structural and magnetic behaviors were examined by X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectra. The magnetization curves did not distinctly show the saturation at 70 kOe for the concentrated alloys of $Cu_{80}Fe_{20}\;and\;Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$. The Mossbauer spectrum of $Cu_{80}Fe_{20}$ at room temperature shows one Lorentzian line of the paramagnetic phase, whereas the Mossbauer spectrum of $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ consists of sextet Lorentzian line at room temperature and a centered doublet line. The Mossbauer spectra of $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ measured in the temperature ranges from 13 to 295 K, implies that $Cu_{90}Fe_{10}$ to consists of two magnetic phases. One superimposed sextet corresponds to the ferromagnetic iron in Cu and the other one indicates the superparamagnetic iron rich phase.

We have grown Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ single crystals using the temperature gradient solidification method. We report on the structural and magnetic propertis of Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ compound semi-conductors. The lattice constants of several percent Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ were slightly smaller than those of the un-doped samples due to the smaller Mn atomic radius ($1.40 {\AA}$) than those of Bi ($1.60 {\AA}$) and Sb ($1.45 {\AA}$). Mn-doped $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Sb_2Se_3$ showed spin glass and paramagnetic properties, respectively.

Two novel copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dmamhp)$(H_2O)_2(SO_4)]_n$ (1) and [Cu(dmamhp)$(NO_3)_2(H_2O)]{\cdot}H_2O$ (2) [dmamhp = 2-dimethylaminomethyl-3-hydroxypyridine] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 displays a double one-dimensional chains structure, in which each chain is constituted with the distorted octahedral copper(II) complex bridged through bidentate sulfate ligands resulting in a coordination polymer. The bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ interactions play important roles in the formation of the double chains structure. On the other hand, compound 2 adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry around copper(II) ion and exists as a discrete monomer. There are intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ stacking interactions between the monomeric units. The magnetic properties revealed that the paramagnetic behaviors are dominantly manifested and there are no intermolecular magnetic interactions in both compound 1 and 2.

We have studied the paramagnetic $CuF_2$ using the techniques of pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The powder sample revealed two well-separated lines from the distinct $^{19}F$ sites at room temperature. One of the lines showed little frequency shift. However, the other showed a large frequency shift, suggesting electron transfers. Furthermore, the two sites have very short spin-lattice relaxation times $(T_1).$ The frequency-shifted site has the shorter $T_1$ than the unshifted one, reflecting the difference of the electron environments of the two sites.

In order to improve the performance of PPFs (Pre-Plated Frames), a PPF that employed a Cu-Sn alloy instead of conventionally used Ni was developed and then its properties were investigated. It was found that the electoplated Cu-Sn alloy layer was a mixture of uniformly distributed fine crystallites, resulting In better wettability and crack resistance than those of Ni PPF. Moreover, as in Cu/Ni/Pd/Au PPF, migration of copper atoms from the base metal to the top of the Cu/Cu-Sn/Pd/Au PPF surface was not found although the Cu-Sn layer itself contained considerable amount of copper. It was expected that, by using the newly developed Cu-Sn PPF, any possible heat generation and signal interrupt caused by an external electro-magnetic field could be reduced because the Cu-Sn layer was paramagnetic, i.e., nonmagnetic.

Proton lineshapes and chemical shifts of paramagnetic solutions of Ln$(NO_3)_3$ in DMF have been measured over the temperature range 240K to 3807K. Solvation sphere exchange rates and the thermodynamic exchange parameters for CHO group of the DMF molecules have been extracted from these data. The results were established through a detailed analysis and discussion of the temperature depending data of the 1/$T_2$ and ${\Dellta}{\omega}$ data were analyzed in detail, and it has been found that delocalization of the unpaired electron spin from some $Ln^{3+}$ ion to DMF molecules beyond the first solvation shell would occur, giving rise to a scalar relaxation contribution in the bulk solvent.

We have studied the paramagnetic $CuF_{2}$ using the techniques of pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR). The powder sample revealed two well-separated lines from the distinct $^{19}F$ sites at room temperature and at 77 K. The distinct frequency shifts of the two lines appear to arise from electron transfers. Furthermore, the two sites have very short spin-lattice relaxation times ($T_{1}$). The frequency-shifted site has the shorter $T_{1}$ than the unshifted one, reflecting the difference of the electron environments of the two sites.

Development of dual functional liposome has been studied for cancer theragnostics. Therefore, we focused on ultrasound-sensitive liposomes with doxorubicin (DOX) and gadolinium (Gd) as a theragnostic carrier having a potential for cancer therapy and diagnosis. In this study, Gd(III)-DOTA-modified sonosensitive liposomes (GL) was developed using chemically synthesized Gd(III)-DOTA-DPPE lipid. Sonosensitivity of GL to 1 MHz ultrasound induced 25% of DOX release. The relaxivities ($r_1$) of GL were $7.33-10.34\;mM^{-1}s^{-1}$, which was higher than that of MR-bester$^{(R)}$. Intracellular delivery of DOX from GL by ultrasound irradiation was evaluated according to ultrasound intensity, resulting in increase of uptake of DOX released from ultrasound-triggered GLs compared to GL3 or Doxil$^{(R)}$ without ultrasound. Taken together, this study shows that the paramagnetic and sonosensitive liposomes, GL, is a novel and highly effective delivery system for drug with the potential for broad applications in human disease.
