In this paper, the anisotropic nature of the magnetic turbulence associated with magnetic dipolarizations in the Earth's plasma sheet is examined. Specifically, we determine the power spectral indices for the perpendicular and parallel components of the fluctuating magnetic field with respect to the background magnetic field, and compare them in order to identify possible anisotropic features. For this study, we identify a total of 47 dipolarization events in February 2008 using the magnetic field data observed by the THEMIS A, D and E satellites when they are situated near the neutral sheet in the near-Earth tail. For the identified events, we estimate the spectral indices for the frequency range from 1.3 mHz to 42 mHz. The results show that the degree of anisotropy, as defined by the ratio of the spectral index of the perpendicular components to that of the parallel component, can range from ~0.2 to ~2.6, and there are more events associated with the ratio greater than unity (i.e., the perpendicular index being greater than the parallel index) than those which are anisotropic in the opposite sense. This implies that the dipolarization-associated turbulence of the magnetic field is often anisotropic, to some non-negligible degree. We then discuss how this result differs from what the theory of homogeneous, anisotropic, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence would predict.

Domain wall dynamics in thin film of amorphous Rare Earth-Transistion Metal alloys were investigated using numerical integration of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The thin film was divided into a two-dimensional square lattice ($30\times30$) of dipoles. Nearest-neighbor exchange interaction magnetic anisotropy, applied magnetic field, and demagnetiing field of interacting anisotropy, applied magnetic field, and demagnetizing field of interacting dipoles were considered. It was assumed that the film had perfect uniaxial anisotropy in the perpendicular direction and the magnetization reversal existed in the film. The time of domain wall creation and the thickness of the wall were investigated. Also the motion of domain walls under an applied field was considered. Simulation results showed that the time of domain wall creation was decreased significantly and the average velocity of domain wall was increased somewhat when the demagnetizing field was considered.

Magnetization losses of HTS depend strongly on the orientation of external magnetic field because of anisotropy characteristics. For parallel and perpendicular magnetic field, analytical models to calculate the loss are well known but there is no analytical model for magetic fields which are applied to surface of HTS with arbitrary angle. In this paper, magnetization losses are measured for various incidence angles($15^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) and compared with parallel and perpendicular loss. As a result, magnetization losses in HTS are strongly affected by perpenducular magnetic field component of external magnetic field.

Ferromagnetic resonance experiments have been used to investigate the magnetic properties of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method. In the thickness range from $350\;{\AA}$ to $3,200\;{\AA}$, measurements were carried out in a static magnetic field perpendicular and parallel to the film plane and in a conventional 9.44 GHz spectrometer at room temperature. The ferromagnetic resonance spectra by the field perpendicular to the film plane showed standing spin wave. The spacing and the relative intensities between the various spin wave resonance peaks are analysed considering surface magnetic anisotropy. The surface magnetic anisotropy constant ($K_{so},\;K_{sd}$) of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films are $0.02\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively regardless of the film thickness except for $3,200\;{\AA}$ film. In case of $3,200\;{\AA}$ these values are $0.46\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively.

Local magnetization reversal in the exchange-biased NiFe/FeMn and $[Pd/Co]_5/FeMn$ multilayers with in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy was achieved by using laser annealing. The local annealed NiFe/FeMn film under the opposite magnetic field shows a magnetoresistance (MR) curve having two symmetric peaks at the positive and negative exchange biasing field (${\pm}H_{ex}$). The intensity of the nucleated MR peak rises as the exposed area extends during the laser annealing process, and the peak disappears under the reverse magnetic field. In the case of [Pd/Co]/FeMn films, the local magnetization reversal increased gradually as the laser power increases. The locally reversed magnetization was restored under the opposite magnetic field.

Identification of wave characteristics during current disruption events in the near-Earth geomagnetic tail region (~ 10 RE) is important to understand the substorm onset mechanism. In this paper, linear stability analysis in the ion-cyclotron grequency range, considering temperature anisotropy and cross-field flow is presented. It is found that the ion-cyclotron drift waves propagating in a quasi-perpendicular direction with respect to the ambient magnetic field are characterized by low frequencies ($\omega$ < $0.5{\Omega}ci$), while quasi-parallel waves have frequencies close to the ion-cyclotron frequency ($\omega{\sim}{\Omega}ci$). This finding is consistent with the observation by THEMIS spacecraft of a current disruption event in which a similar high- and low-frequency band structure is also present [A. T. Y. Lui, et al., J. Geophys. Res. 113, A00C06 (2008)]. It is also found that the quasi-perpendicular mode is excited by the ion cross-field flow.

A magnetic resonance neurography technique for exclusive imaging of nerve networks is proposed. In the proposed technique, the anisotropy of diffusion coefficients of the molecules inside nerve cells was utilized to effectively suppress the magnetic resonance signal radiating from ones other than nerve tissues. Two images were obtained with diffusionweighting magnetic field gradients applied in the parallel and perpendicular directions with respect to the nerve orientation. One image was then subtract- ted from the other to form the neurogram. Experimentally obtained neurograms of the squld are presented.

Magnetic properties and microstructures of the $Co_{83}Cr_{17}$ films growing under the applied magnetic field were studied. In comparison, those of the films growing without magnetic field were also studied. Magnetic field does not affect saturation magnetization and in-plane coercivity of the films. On the contrary perpendicular coercivity and effective perpendicular anisotropy field decreased. Grain size and the thickness of the so-called transition layer were not affected and the C-axis alignment of the films was slightly deteriorated due to magnetic field. Also, microstructures of the sputtered films showed larger grain sizes of strong (002) preferred orientation for thicker film specimens independent of applied magnetic field.

The rotation of uniaxial anisotropy field of 700 ${\AA}$ thick sputtered NiFe thin film due to magnetic annealing was investigated. NiFe film was annealed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the initial induced uniaxial anisotropy field. The NiFe film becomes nearly isotropic after 1 hour annealing at 160 $^{\circ}C$. With increase of annealing temperature over 160 $^{\circ}C$, the film gets uniaxial anisotropy field again. An abrupt increase of H$\sub$c/ was observed with annealing temperature over 400 $^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction analysis and Auger electron spectroscopy with Ar ion etching showed extensive grain growth in NiFe film with (111) texturing and interdiffusion with adjacent Au electrode layer by 400 $^{\circ}C$ magnetic annealing.
