Extracts which were prepared by four different extractions - 80% methanol extracts (ME) at high ($70^{\circ}C$) and a room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$), respectively and aqueous extracts (AE) at both temperatures with the residue after the methanol extracts - of 10 green, 19 brown and 25 red seaweeds collected in Jeju Island coast were examined for their DPPH free radical scavenging activity using a ESR (electron spin resonance) spectroscopy. A variety of the extracts showed positive scavenging effect against DPPH free radical (except the green seaweeds). Among the extracts, the brown seaweed extracts exhibited the highest scavenging activity. Especially, Sargassum spp. of the brown seaweeds have remarkable scavenging activities - both methanolic and aqueous at the both temperatures ($20^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$). On the other hand, ME showed better scavenging activity than AE in the red seaweed extracts. These results indicate that autogenous seaweeds in Jeju will be potential natural antioxidants for functional food compounds.

The rutile polycrystal $Ti_{0.99}\;^{57}Fe_{0.01}O_2$ prepared with $^{57}Fe$ enriched iron have been studied by $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and VSM. The $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectrum of $Ti_{0.99}\;^{57}Fe_{0.01}O_2$ consists of a ferromagnetic and a paramagnetic phase over all temperature ranging from 4 to 300 K. Isomer shifts indicate $Fe^{2+}$ for the ferromagnetic phase, but $Fe^{3+}$ for the paramagneic phase of $Ti_{0.99}\;^{57}Fe_{0.01}O_2$ sample. It is noted that the magnetic hyperfine field of ferromagnetic phase had the value about 1.48 times as large as that of $\alpha$-Fe. The XRD data for $Ti_{0.99}\;^{57}Fe_{0.01}O_2$ showed a pure rutile phase with tetragonal structures without any segregation of Fe into particulates within the instrumental resolution limit The magnetic hysteresis (M-H) curve at room temperature showed an obvious ferromagnetic behavior and the magnetic moment per Fe atom under the applied field of 1 T was estimated to be about $0.71{\mu}_B$, suggesting a low spin configuration of Fe ions.

The structure, magnetic properties and magnetoresistance phenorrena of Ag-Co nano-granular alloy films prepared by a thermal co-evaporation were studied. Supersaturated fee Ag-Co solid solution and fee Co clusters coexisted in the as-deposited state. As Co content increases from 20 to 55 at.% Co, the grain size of the Ag matrix decreases from 147 to $67{\AA}$, and the Co solubility in the Ag matrix increases from 2.5 to 6.7%. Ag-Co alloy films having composition below 25 at.% Co showed mainly superparamagnetic behavior and above that composition, they showed both paramagnetic and ferromagnetic l::ehavior in the as-deposited state. The maximum magnetoresistance of 19% at R. T. and 10 kOe was obtained in the as-deposited 30 at.% Co alloy film. Heat treatment did not improve the MR ratio tecause most of the Co was already precipitated in the as-deposited state.

Magnetic nanocomposites contained iron oxide were synthesized by through cross-linking polymerization of dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution and toluen solution on the amphiphilic polymer networks based on urethan acrylate nonionomer (UAN) precursor chains. For the study on microscopic structures and magnetic properties of the magnetic nanoparticles, FESEM and XRD and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used. The results investigated show that there are magnetic nanoparticles of $Fe_2O_3$ in samples and the magnetic nanocomposites contained iron oxide in polymer networks of UAN using DMAc solution are more smaller than using toluen solution. All of the Fe ions in the samples present $Fe^{3+}$ and the magnetic property of samples are paramagnetic by superparamagnetic effect at room temperature.

Fe-based powders, Fe-M(M=Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn), were prepared in Ar gas by mechanical alloying and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction indicates that the cubic lattice parameter increases for the M substitution. The distance of closest approach around M can explained the increase of lattice constant in Fe-M powders. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy measurements on Fe-M samples indicates the coexistence of ferromagnetic phases and paramagnetic phase that are created by the distribution of local environment M on Fe atom. On the other hand, The spread of line-width on $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra can be explained by the distribution of hyperfine magnetic fields. The results of quadrupole shift and isomer shift revealed that M substitutions in Fe-M powders didn't change both structure and the local charge distribution around Fe atom severely.

We report the crystallographic and magnetic properties of $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, and a M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. In particular, $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ was studied by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer analysis for evidence of spin reorientation. The chalcogenide material $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ was fabricated by a direct reaction method. XRD analysis confirmed that $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ has a 2-dimension (2-D) triangular lattice structure, with space group P-3m1. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra of $Ni_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}Ga_2S_4$ at spectra at various temperatures from 4.2 to 300 K showed that the spectrum at 4.2 K has a severely distorted 8-line shape, as spin liquid. Electric quadrupole splitting, $E_Q$ has anomalous two-points of temperature dependence of $E_Q$ curve as freezing temperature, $T_f=11K$, and N$\acute{e}$el temperature, $T_N=26K$. This suggests that there appears to be a slowly-fluctuating "spin gel" state between $T_f$ and $T_N$, caused by non-paramagnetic spin state below $T_N$. This comes from charge re-distribution due to spin-orientation above $T_f$, and $T_N$, due to the changing $E_Q$ at various temperatures. Isomer shift value ($0.7mm/s{\leq}{\delta}{\leq}0.9mm/s$) shows that the charge states are ferrous ($Fe^{2+}$), for all temperature range. The Debye temperature for the octahedral site was found to be ${\Theta}_D=260K$.

The chemical behavior of the trivalent lanthanide$(Pr^{3+}, Eu^{3+}, Gd^{3+} 그리고 Yb^{3+})$complexes with organo-ligand (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione) has been investigated by the use of UV/Vis-spectrophotometric, magnetics, and electrochemical method. The two or three energy absorption bands are observed by the spectra of these complexes. The magnetitude of crystal field splitting energy, the spin pairing energy and bond stength was obtained from the spectra of the complexes. These are found to be localization, low-spin (or high-spin state, and strong bonding strength. The magnetic dipole moment are found to be diamagnetic complexes (or paramagnetic). The electrochemical behavior of complexes was observed by the use of cyclic voltammetry in aprotic media. These reduction peaks were irreversible two and three step reduction processes by electron transfer.

[ $M\"{o}ssbauer$ ] spectra of $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2(0.01{\leq}x,\;y{\leq}0.05)$ prepared with $^{57}Fe$ enriched iron have been taken at various temperatures ranging from 80 to 300K. The Mossbauer spectrum of $Ti0.94Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2$ consists of a ferromagnetic (six-Lorentzian), a paramagnetic phase (doublet) and armorphous phase over all temperature ranges. Isomer shifts indicate $Fe^{3+}$ for the ferromagnetic phase and the paramagneic phase of $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2$ samples. It is noted that the magnetic hyperfine field of ferromagnetic phase had the value about 1.5 times as large as that of u-fe. The XRB data for $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2$ showed mainly rutile phase with tetragonal structures without any segregation of Co and Fe into particulates within the instrumental resolution limit. The magnetic moment per (Co+Fe) atom in $Ti0.94Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2$, under the applied field of 1T was estimated to be about $0.332{\mu}_B$ which is ten times as large as that of $Ti0.97Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2,\;0.024{\mu}_B$ per Co atom, suggesting a high spin configuration of Co and fe ions.

Nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ is fabricated by a sol-gel method. The magnetic and structural properties of powders were investigated with XRD, SEM, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and VSM. $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ powders annealed at $300{^{\circ}C}$ have a spinel structure and behaved superparamagnetically. The estimated size of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 10 nm. The hyperfine fields at 13 K for the A and B patterns are found to be 533 and 507 kOe, respectively. The ZFC curves are rounded at the blocking temperature ($T_B$)and show a paramagnetic-like behavior above $T_B$. $T_B$ of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 250 K. Nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500{^{\circ}C}$ have a typical spinel structure and is ferrimagnetic in nature. The isomer shifts indicate that the iron ions were ferric at the tetrahedral (A) and the octahedral (B). The saturation magnetization of nanoparticles $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500{^{\circ}C}$ are 40 and 43 emu/g, respectively. The magnetic anisotropy constant of $Ni_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ annealed at $300{^{\circ}C}$ were calculated to be 1.6 ${\times}$ $10^6$ ergs/$cm^3$.

The Mossbauer spectra of the $Ni_{1-x}Cd_xFeAlO_4$ system were investigated with the Cd content x at room temperature. The spectra of the samples exhibit various patterns as follows 1) superparmagnetic relaxation for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2, 2) ferrimagnetic sextet for 0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.5, 3) ferromagnetic relaxation for x=0.6, 0.7, 4) paramagnetic doublet for 0.8$\leq$x$\leq$1, with the Cd content x. In the samples with x values from 0 to 0.2, the substituted $Cd^{2+}$ ions transfer the $Al^{3+}$ ions from A-site to B-site mainly. The superparamagnetic relaxation effect and the ferromagnetic relaxation effect are derived from the $Al^{3+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ respectively. The magnetic structure of the $Ni_{1-x}Cd_xFeAlO_4$ system was explained by the Yafet-Kittel model.
