Using the two-dimensional Wulff plot, the equilibrium shape of a sapphire crystal was investigated as a function of surface energy anisotropy. Depending on the relative values of surface energy for various facet planes, the projected shape of equilibrium sapphire was determined to be rectangle, parallelogram, hexagon or octagon. The results are compared with the experimentally observed shapes of internal cavities of submicron range in sapphire single crystals.

Many electronic applications require magnetic materials with high permeability and frequency properties. We improve the magnetic permeability of soft magnetic powder by controlling the shape magnetic anisotropy of the powders and through the preparation of amorphous nanoparticles. For this purpose, the effect of the shape magnetic anisotropy of amorphous Fe-B-P nanoparticles is observed through a magnetic field and the frequency characteristics and permeability of these amorphous nanoparticles are observed. These characteristics are investigated by analyzing the composition of particles, crystal structure, microstructure, magnetic properties, and permeability of particles. The composition, crystal structure, and microstructure of the particles are analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry-, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam analysis. The saturation magnetization and permeability are measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer and an LCR meter, respectively. It is confirmed that the shape magnetic anisotropy of the particles influences the permeability. Finally, the permeability and frequency characteristics of the amorphous Fe-B-P nanoparticles are improved.

The fringe-field switching (FFS) mode was known to exhibit both a wide viewing angle and high transmittance, especially when using the liquid crystal (LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. In the device, the LC director rotates almost in-plane. However, in the bright state the device shows bluish and yellowish color along parallel and perpendicular to the LC director at off-normal directions since the LC director rotates only in one direction. Such a problem was greatly improved using a wedge shape of only pixel electrodes. In this way two different field directions exist in a pixel, enabling the LC director to rotate in two opposite directions. Consequently, owing to dual domain effect when using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy, the viewing angle characteristics are greatly improved.

The effect of anisotropy field on the high frequency magnetic characteristics of FeTaN films was investigated. Those films show good magnetic properties : 4$\pi$Ms of 13KG, Hc of 0.6 Oe, effective permeability(${\mu}$') of 800 with a stable frequency response up to 800MHz. The films also show a large anisotropy field(Hk) over 21Oe. It result from the increased anisotropy of patterned FeTaN films. The combination of high saturation magnetization and relatively high Hk in these films is believed to the partly responsible for FeTaN for the excellent high-frequency behavior.

The shape anisotropy effect of a giant magnetoresistance-spin valves (GMR-SV) device with a glass/NiO/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/NiFe layered structure for use in the detection of magnetic property of molecules within a cell was investigated. The patterned device was given uniaxial anisotropy during the sputtering deposition and vacuum post-annealing, which was performed at $200^{\circ}C$ under a 300 Oe magnetic field. The pattern size of the device, which was prepared through the photolithography process, was $2{\times}15\;{\mu}m^2$. The experimental results confirmed that the best design for a GMR-SV device to be used as a biosensor is to have both the axis sensing current and the easy axis of the pinned NiO/NiFe/CoFe triple layer oriented in the direction of the device's width, while the easy axis of the free CoFe/NiFe bilayer should be pointed along the long axis of the device.

The coercivity of a single 27 nm-spherical barium ferrite (S-BaFe) particle was simulated using three models: 1) Gibbs free energy (GFE), 2) Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG), and 3) Stoner-Wohlfarth (S-W). Spherically and hexagonally shaped particles were used in the GFE and LLG simulations to investigate coercivity with the different shape anisotropies. The effect of shape was not included in the S-W model. It was found that the models using a spherical shape resulted in a coercivity higher than the models using the hexagonal shape with both shapes having the same diameter. The coercivity estimated with the S-W model was approximately the same as that for the spherical-shape models, which indicates that spherical shape has no significant effect on the particle's coercivity at nanoscale.

The magneto impedance (MI) behaviors of patterned $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwire were investigated with respect to its shape variation. After preparing $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwires using electrodeposition and photolithography methods, impedance measurements were conducted to compare the MI ratios of the devices with different aspect ratios. As a result, the anisotropy field and transverse permeability were found to be strongly affected by the aspect ratio of the device. The external field value at the maximum impedance and maximum sensitivity of the device was found to increase with increasing device width, which was attributed to the increased transverse anisotropy with decreasing aspect ratio. While an increase in the thickness also contributed to an increase in the MI ratio, a variation in the thickness not only increased the anisotropic field, but the variation in the MI ratio was as also affected by the skin effect. Conversely, the MI ratios of the present devices were hardly affected by variations in the length. Considering the typical aspect ratios of our devices, it was expected that the length effect would emerge when the aspect ratio was reduced to less than 10. Nevertheless, our results show that for the practical application of MI devices, the MI characteristics can be optimized by tailoring the aspect ratio of the devices.

NiFe/Cu/NiFe/IrMn 스핀밸브 박막소자에 대해 자화 용이축에 의존하는 형상 자기이방성을 조사하였다. Ta(5 nm)/NiFe(8 nm)/Cu(2.3 nm)/NiFe(4 nm)/IrMn(8 nm)/Ta(2.5 nm) 다층박막을 증착할 때 350 Oe의 자기장으로 인가한 자화 용이축을 폭 방향 또는 길이 방향으로 설정하여 $1\;{\mu}m\;{\times}\;18\;{\mu}m$의 소자를 제작하였다. 2단자 방법으로 소자의 자기저항 곡선으로부터 자장감응도를 측정하고 자화 용이축에 따른 형상 자기이방성을 비교하였다. 측정한 소자 길이 방향의 센싱전류와 고정층의 자화 용이축이 소자 폭방향 각도가 GMR-SV 소자를 바이오센서로 활용하는데 중요한 요인임을 확인하였다.
