    Finite element analysis using the dynamic magnetic loss parameter was carried out, in order to evaluate the power loss of Mn-Zn ferrite cores. The accuracy of the numerical analysis was verified by comparing the numerically computed power loss with the analytical solutions at 100 kHz, 200 kHz, 1 MHz, and 2 MHz. The frequency characteristics of the computed core loss coincide with the measured ones. Finite element analysis taking account of the dielectric characteristics of Mn-Zn ferrites clarified the mechanism of the power loss dependence on the core dimensions. The analysis showed that the displacement current in a core causes a magnetic field opposite to the exciting magneto-motive force in a high-frequency region.

    The transport properties of ferromagnetic tunnel junctions are investigated. The tunneling currents are calculated on the basis of a Tsu-Esaki-type equation that is extended to a spin-polarized system. The tunnel magnetoresistance decreases with increasing bias voltage, because of the energy dependence of the spin-dependent transmission coefficients. Junctions with different barrier widths show a similar decrease in the tunnel magnetoresistance. The tunnel magnetoresistance as a function of the barrier height increases for a lower barrier height, whereas, it oscillates for a negative barrier height.

    Analysis of the measuring sensitivity of a conventional M-H loop tracer revealed that the sensitivity is limited by undesirable signals, caused by imbalance of a pick-up coil pair, use of a non-ideal electronic integrator, and/or the presence of ambient magnetic or conductive bodies. Most of these noises are periodic and synchronized with the exciting magnetic field at 50-60 Hz. This paper proposes a new scheme utilizing digital signal-processing technique and virtual instrument software, to reduce such noises effectively, taking account of the above-mentioned noise properties. In the scheme, a pick-up coil signal without a magnetic thin film is first sampled and stored in memory as a background noise, then another signal with the thin film is sampled and the stored background noise is reduced. A pick-up coil pair, linear amplifiers, and digital-signal-processing software were optimally designed and installed. A newly designed M-H loop tracer can measure thin soft-magnetic films with a magnetic moment as small as 2.5 × 10-5emu.
