  • We successfully enhanced the performance of a spin valve by inserting an ultra-thin layer of partially oxidized Fe in the pinned and free layers. With the exchange bias field kept large, the spin valve reached a GMR of 12%, which corresponded to a 55% increase in GMR when we compared it with that of spin valves without any inserted layer. The layer of partially oxidized Fe was more effective for improving the properties of the spin valve than the layer of partially oxidized $Co_{90}Fe_{10}$. Considering all the results, we can contribute the significant improvement to the combined effect of the modified local electronic structures at the Fe impurities and theenhanced spin-dependent reflections at the $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3} phase in the magnetic layer.

  • The spin wave absorption spectra are obtained by a simultaneous solution of the Maxwell equation and the Gilbert equation considering the boundary condition of electromagnetic wave and magnetization in the film surfaces. The physical parameters that influence the absorption energy are thickness, exchange stiffness constant, surface magnetic anisotropy, magnetization. damping factor, electric resistivity of the thin film. We investigated how these parameters affect the resonance field, the linewidth and the intensity of the spin wave spectrum.

  • Experimental evidence suggests that spin pinning conditions for standing spin mode in polycrystalline $Ni_{84}Fe_{16}$ alloy film, is confirmed using the four categories of Camley et al. and the value of q$\bot$ for the pinning conditions, this was achieved by performing Brillouin light scattering measurements. The value of q$\bot$ was observed, in order to increase at a rate of $\pi$/2 with an increasing mode number. With this condition, the coexistence of standing spin wave modes was shown, with intermediate pinning, in addition to free and strong pinning. The values for spin-wave-stiffness constant ($D_B$), g-factor (g), and surface magnetization (4$\pi$M) of the Permalloy film were obtained from the results of BLS, and determined to be $D_B=1.85{\pm}0.05Oecm^2$, $g=2.11{\pm}0.02$, and 4$\pi$M=8.7 kG, respectively.

  • Recently there was a proposal for a spin filter by using the spin superlattice structure. In a certain energy range, the proposed structure exhibits a high spin filtering efficiency close to 100%. Unfortunately such energy range turns out to be narrow. In this paper, we report a method to widen the energy range by using an analogy to optical anti-reflection coating. In optics, it is well known that a stack of alternating layers of two dielectric materials can function as a highly transmissive or reflective filter for wide range of wavelength. Since electrons also have wave character as light, it would be possible to make an electronic analog of an optical filter. We demonstrate that alternating layers of two materials with different g-factors can function as a spin filter that allows electrons to be transmitted only when their spins point towards a certain particular direction. This spin-superlattice-based spin filter operates in wide energy ranges, curing the problem in the previous proposal.

  • The current study deals with the possible interplay between superconductivity and spin density wave in two band model high temperature iron based superconductor (FeBSC) Ba1-xNaxFe2As2. The electron and hole bands in the presence of the inter-band interaction between the two bands is becoming a vital issue to deal with the high temperature physics of the iron-based superconductors. In this research work, a model Hamiltonian appropriate for the system under consideration has been developed and the temperature dependent Green's function technique has been employed to get the solution for the equations of motion constructed for the two band model high temperature FeBSC Ba1-xNaxFe2As2. By making use of the decoupling procedure, the equations of motion for the dependence of superconducting transition temperature (TC) on spin density wave(SDW) order parameter (ΔSDW) in the electron intra-band (Δsc(e)) , hole intra-band (Δsc(h)) and inter-band (Δsc(eh)) for Ba1-xNaxFe2As2 have been obtained. We have also obtained the expression for the dependence of spin density wave transition temperature(TSDW) on ΔSDW for Ba1-xNaxFe2As2. Using some plausible approximations and appropriate experimental values for the parameters in the obtained equations of motion, phase diagrams of TC versus Δsc(e), Δsc(h) and Δsc(eh) are plotted. Furthermore, a phase diagram of TSDW versus ΔSDW is plotted for the material under consideration. Finally, using the above mentioned phase diagrams, the interplay between superconductivity and spin density wave in the two band model high temperature FeBSC Ba1-xNaxFe2As2 has been demonstrated to be a very distinct possibility. The agreement of the current finding with the experimental observations is quite commendable.

  • In order to investigate the annealing effect for RF magnetron sputtered $Ni_{83}Fe_{17}$ thin films, we have studied the spin wave rehaviors by FMR after annealing the samples at $135^{\circ}C,\;225^{\circ}C$ in air and at $160^{\circ}C,\;220^{\circ}C,\;330^{\circ}C,\;390^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$ in argon gas for one hour respectively. In FMR spectra for the films annealed in argon gas and the assputtered film at perpendicular resonance, only odd numrer spin waves are observed. But even numrer spin waves are observed for the film annealed in air at $225^{\circ}C$ recause of the large difference retween both surface magnetic anisotropy. In the case of the sample annealed at $420^{\circ}C$ in argon gas, the spin waves are shifted toward high field, can due to the increase of saturation magnetization during annealing. The spacings retween the spin wave resonance fields are narrowed rapidly, this is thought that the magnetic homogeneity increased in the film after annealing at high temperature.
