A system for the Earth-magnetic-field (EMF) compensation has been developed, which is essential for the calibration of a precise magnetometers, sensors and for the material researches. In addition to the original function of the EMF compensation, the system can reproduce quite precise and stable magnetic field (MF) in the range of 20 /spl mu/T to 1.2 mT. The system, operated in a non-magnetic environment, consists of 3-axis Helmholtz coils, current stabilizer, precision solenoid, and temperature-control unit.

Two kinds of MTJs were prepared using magnetron sputtering: a conventional polycrystalline MTJ with multilayer structure of Si(100)/SiO/sub 2//Ta 5 nm/NiFe 3 nm/Cu 20 nm/NiFe 3 nm/IrMn 10 nm/CoFe 40 nm/Al 1.6 nm-O/CoFe 4 nm/NiFe 20 nm/Ta 5 nm and a semi-epitaxial MTJ with a multilayer structures of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (0001)/Pt (111) 20 nm/NiFe (111) 50 nm/Al 1.6 nm-O/CoFe 4 nm/IrMn 10 nm/NiFe 30 nm. The effect of the state of a ferromagnet/insulator interface on the bias-voltage dependence of TMR was investigated. It was found that the more crystal structure of bottom FM electrode improves, the more plasma oxidation proceeds uniformly and V/sub +1/2/ (bottom interface) increases. V/sub -1/2/ (top interface), on the other hand, are similar regardless of crystal structure of the bottom FM electrode.

The eddy current loss of a Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet is estimated from temperature rise rate of their magnets. The obtained values of the eddy current loss coincide with the simulated data of the Integral Element Method. The method of dividing magnet is found effective in the suppression of the current loss. Also, it is observed that the higher harmonic effects on the alternating current are simple addition of each harmonics.

In this experiment, Fe:Cu granular precursor is first deposited; FePt:Cu granular films are successfully prepared by interlayer diffusion of the first layer of Fe:Cu precursor and a second layer of Pt. This technique provided more degree of freedom on preparation of artificially granular films. The preparation, structure, and magnetic properties of the films have been investigated.

There is intense worldwide activity in the development of instrumentation for medical diagnosis and bioscreening based on biological labeling and detection of superparamagnetic particles. This paper describes recent results of a systematic study on the fabrication of high sensitivity micro and nano-Hall devices for biomedical applications using a wide range of materials. Issues related to the ease of fabrication, scalability, magnetic field sensitivity and functionalization will be discussed. The extensive variety of materials available for Hall sensor fabrication offers a highly flexible, 'tailor-made' route for the development of instrumentation for detection and analysis of biological labeled superparamagnetic particles. The devices described in this paper (InSb linear arrays, InAs 'bridge-type' sensor, bismuth thin film nano-Hall sensor, GaN/AlGaN 2DEG sensor) were incorporated into the measurement system as described and successfully used to detect magnetic beads ranging between 0.12 to 2.8 microns in diameter. The electrical characteristics of novel micro-Hall sensors fabricated using GaN/AlGaN 2DEG heterostructures and InAs bridge structures are described. Methods for immobilization of DNA and other biomolecules onto the surfaces of these devices will also be discussed.

High-rate low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are the focus of intense research in magnetic recording because, when decoded by the iterative sum-product algorithm, they show decoding performance close to the Shannon capacity. LDPC codes can be described by a bipartite graph called Tanner graph. The length g of the shortest cycle in a Tanner graph is referred to as the girth g of the graph. Since large girth leads to more efficient decoding and large minimum distance, LDPC codes with large girth are particularly desired. We propose a class of structured LDPC codes with large girth and flexible code rates, called partition-and-shift LDPC codes (PS-LDPC).

Direct observation of the dynamics of a single domain wall (DW) in a NiFe-Cu nanowire is investigated. This reveals that such a topological particle indeed has a very small but finite mass of 6.6/spl times/10/sup -23/ kg, and interacts with high-frequency ac electric currents by exchanging momentum. This measurement is made possible by observing resonance of a single DW in which DW motion induced by a oscillating electric current in a tunable potential is used. The dominant mechanisms in these nanowires arise from the exchange coupling between the local magnetization and the spin of conduction electrons. The first mechanism is due to the reflection of conduction electrons by the DW, called momentum transfer. The other is the transfer of the spin angular momentum from conduction electrons to the DW as the electrons pass through the DW. This spin-transfer effect is proportional to the spin polarization of the current.

Superconducting tunneling spectroscopy (STS) was used in this study to determine the spin polarization in tunnel junctions and spin injectors. STS showed that the polarization of the tunneling current from the 3d transition metal ferromagnets (FM) through amorphous aluminum oxide tunnel barriers is about 40 to 50% and is largely independent of the FM crystal structure and orientation. However, the same 3d transition metal ferromagnets and their alloys, when formed in the bcc crystal structure, and in conjunction with crystalline magnesium oxide tunnel barriers exhibit much higher tunneling spin polarization values of up to /spl sim/85%. Also, MgO based tunnel spin injectors for semiconductor spintronics was discussed.

The dipolar interaction fields in an electrochemically deposited Ni nanowires (samples labeled Ni2, Ni3, Ni6) are characterized using the ferromagnetic resonance. The major hysteresis loops (MHL) are measured using vibrating sample magnetometer with the applied field perpendicular and parallel to the membrane plane. It is observed that the MHL squareness, S ,for the in plane and perpendicular configurations is S/sub inplane/ < S/sub perp/ for Ni2, Ni3 and S/sub inplane/ > S/sub perp/ for Ni6. The observed differences in the MHL are related to the nanowires lengths which determine different magnetic interactions between nanowires.
