Abstract:
An electroless copper plating solution using glyoxylic acid as a reducing agent, which is small in the reacting quantity of Cannizzaro reaction, does not largely cause precipitation of the salt accumulated in the electroless copper plating solution by the plating reaction and Cannizzaro reaction, and can be used stably over a long period of time. The electroless copper plating solution comprises copper ion, a complexing agent for copper ion, a reducing agent for copper ion and a pH adjusting agent, wherein the reducing agent for copper ion is glyoxylic acid or a salt thereof, the pH adjusting agent is potassium hydroxide and the electroless copper plating solution contains at least one member selected from metasilicic acid, metasilicic acid salt, germanium dioxide, germanic acid salt, phosphoric acid, phosphoric acid salt, vanadic acid, vanadic acid salt, stannic acid and stannic acid salt in an amount of 0.0001 mol/L or more.

In a magnetoresistive element of a magnetic memory, a inversion field Hc of at least a first magnetic layer is given by Hc = 2 ( Ku - 2 π Ms 2 f ) Ms where Ku and Ms are the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant and saturation magnetization of the first magnetic layer. The inversion field Hc is set smaller than a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generation mechanism. Letting T be the film thickness of the first magnetic layer and W be the width and length, f is a factor given by f=7×10−13(T/W)4−2×10−9(T/W)3+3×10−6(T/W)2−0.0019(T/W)+0.9681 A magnetic memory manufacturing method is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A multi-layered heat resistant metal tube is disclosed. This tube has excellent anti-coking characteristics and is suitable for use under the conditions where carbon tends to deposit and accumulate thereon due to contacting with hydrocarbons at a high temperature. The tube is made by forming weld-mounted overlaid layer of a Cr—Ni—Mo alloy by building-up welding over the inner surface and/or the outer surface of a substrate tube made of a heat resistant metal. The Cr—Ni—Mo alloy consists essentially of, by weight %, Cr: 36-49 wt %, Ni: 35-63 wt % and Mo: 0.5-5 wt %. Building-up welding is preferably carried out by PPW (Plasma Powder Welding) in which the filler metal is supplied in the form of powder.
Abstract:
A magnetic thin film memory includes a stack of magnetic thin film devices each comprising a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer of higher coercive force than the first magnetic layer on the first magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic layer between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. A conductive write wire separated from each magnetic thin film device by an insulator enables the application of a magnetic field. A pair of electrodes enables electric current flow through the magnetic layers in order to detect changes in magnetoresistance dependent on information recorded in the devices.

A magnetic memory element comprising a first magnetic layer magnetized in an orientation of magnetization along one in-plane direction, a second magnetic layer magnetized in an orientation of magnetization parallel or antiparallel to the orientation of magnetization of the first magnetic layer, the second magnetic layer having a higher coercive force than that of the first magnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer interposed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer, and a third magnetic layer for magnetically coupling the first magnetic layer with the second magnetic layer in order to form a closed magnetic circuit with the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer.
Abstract:
A magneto-optic recording medium of the present invention has a transparent substrate. A reproducing layer is stacked on the substrate, and remains in an in-plane magnetic state at room temperature and is transformed into a perpendicular magnetic state at an increased temperature. A first recording layer for storing information therein is stacked on the reproducing layer. In the first recording layer, the perpendicular magnetic state is maintained in a temperature range of from room temperature to the Curie temperature. A second recording layer for storing information therein is stacked on the first recording layer. In the second recording layer, the perpendicular magnetic state is maintained in a temperature range of from room temperature to the Curie temperature. The sub-lattice magnetic moment of an element forming the second recording layer is oriented in the direction opposite to the magnetic moment of the first recording layer. A same type of elements being used for the first and second recording layers. The rotation of the plane of polarization of incident light generated in the reproducing layer at a magnetic wall domain is canceled by the rotation angles of the planes of polarization of the incident light generated in the first and second recording layers.

Abstract:
A method of recording and reproducing information on a magnetooptical recording medium includes the steps of irradiating the medium with laser light to heat a reproducing layer at least to a predetermined temperature at which the layer is vertically magnetizable, thereby rendering the reproducing layer vertically magnetizable and causing it to effect exchange coupling with a recording layer. The method also includes the step of applying a vertical external magnetic field to a portion of the medium irradiated with the laser light and applying a horizontal external magnetic field, weaker than the vertical external magnetic field, during recording and reproducing of data.
