B2 transition temperatures with electron concentration at A, B and C atomic sites were determined. In the experimental part of the thesis, structural and magnetic properties of Ni-Mn-Ga and Ni-Mn-Al Heusler alloys were investigated. For the Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloy system, it was found that the martensitic (TM) and Curie temperatures (TC) merge for Ni54Mn20Ga26 and Ni56Mn18Ga26 alloys by compositional tuning. For the Ni-Mn-Al Heusler alloy system, it was found that ferromagnetism was introduced into these alloys by low temperature aging, as a result of the stabilization of the L21 phase. In addition to that, magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was determined in the vicinity of the first order magneto-structural transition for Ni-rich Ni-Mn-Ga alloys and near the second order magnetic transition for the Ni2MnAl alloy.
Gaucher, Samuel. "Growth of lattice-matched hybrid semiconductor-ferromagnetic trilayers using solid-phase epitaxy." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/22599.
Full textThis thesis discusses the growth of thin film structures required to fabricate a Spin-Selective Schottky Barrier Tunnel transistor (SS-SBTT). The device relies on charge carriers being transported through a thin semiconducting (SC) layer separating two ferromagnetic (FM) contacts. Thus, high quality and lattice-matched FM/SC/FM vertical trilayers must be grown, which is experimentally challenging due to incompatible crystallization energies between SC and metals. The problem was solved using a solid-phase epitaxy approach, whereby a thin amorphous layer of Ge (4-8 nm) is crystallized by annealing over Fe3Si on GaAs(001) substrates. Slow annealing rates up to a temperature of 260°C could produce a lattice-matched Ge-rich compound, over which a second Fe3Si could be grown my molecular-beam epitaxy. The compound obtained during annealing is a new layered polymorph of FeGe2. SQUID magnetometry measurements indicate that the trilayer samples can be placed in states of antiparallel magnetization. Vertical spin valve devices created using various trilayers were used to demonstrate that charge transport is spin-selective across the heterojunctions, showing a magnetoresistance of at most 0.3% at room temperature. The effect decreases at low temperature, correlating with a ferromagnetic transition in the FeGe2 layer. TEM and XRD experiments could determine that the new FeGe2 polymorph has a space group P4mm, containing up to 17% Si atoms substituting Ge sites. Isolating FeGe2 was possible by tuning the proportion Fe, Si and Ge atoms required to obtain the right stoichiometry upon full intermixing. Hall bars fabricated on FeGe2 thin films were used to observe an increasing resistivity at low temperature and semimetallic character.

Full textIn this work, the molecular-beam epitaxial growth and properties of ferromagnets, namely Fe and Fe_3Si are studied on low-symmetric GaAs(113)A substrates. Three important aspects are investigated: (i) growth and structural characterization, (ii) magnetic properties, and (iii) magnetotransport properties of Fe and Fe_3Si films on GaAs(113)A substrates. The growth of Fe and Fe_3Si films is optimized at growth temperatures of 0 and 250 degree Celsius, respectively, where the layers exhibit high crystal quality and a smooth interface/surface similar to the [001]-oriented films. The stability of Fe_(3+x)Si_(1-x) phase over a range of composition around the Fe_3Si stoichiometry is also demonstrated. The evolution of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy with film thickness exhibits two regions: a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) for Fe film thicknesses = 70 MLs. The existence of an out-of-plane perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is also detected in ultrathin Fe films. The interfacial contribution of both the uniaxial and the perpendicular anisotropy constants, derived from the thickness-dependent study, are found to be independent of the [113] orientation and are hence an inherent property of the Fe/GaAs interface. The origin of the UMA is attributed to anisotropic bonding between Fe and As or Ga at the interface, similarly to Fe/GaAs(001). The magnetic anisotropy in Fe_3Si on GaAs(113)A exhibits a complex dependence on the growth conditions and composition. Magnetotransport measurements of both Fe(113) and Fe_3Si(113) films shows the striking appearance of an antisymmetric component (ASC) in the planar Hall effect (PHE). A phenomenological model based on the symmetry of the crystal provides a good explanation to both the ASC in the PHE as well as the symmetric anisotropic magnetoresistance. The model shows that the observed ASC component can be ascribed to a second-order Hall effect.

Full textLas aleaciones de Ni2MnGa se caracterizan por poseer memoria de forma magnética (FSMA). La clave de este comportamiento es la transformación martensítica que experimentan cuando son enfriadas por debajo de una temperatura crítica, que es muy diferente para variaciones de composición alrededor de la estequiometrica. El mecanismo que da origen a la FSMA tiene lugar en esta fase martensítica e involucra el desplazamiento de maclas, inducido por un campo magnético aplicado. La magnitud del efecto FSMA es importante en monocristales de esta fase, siendo en general despreciable en muestras policristalinas. Sin embargo, se ha observado recientemente que es posible lograr con técnicas de colada por succión cilindros policristalinos de esta aleación, de uno y dos milímetros de diámetro, con granos orientados de manera tal que la textura cristalográfica y el estado de tensiones internas en el material da origen a FSMA.
In the martensite phase, monocrystalline Heusler alloys with composition near Ni2MnGa exhibit Ferromagnetic Shape Memory (FSM). The mechanism leading to the FSM involves twin boundaries displacement, induced for a magnetic field applied; the magnitude of this FSM effect may be important in monocrystals but it is in general negligible in polycrystalline samples. In this work, we report FSM in highly textured polycrystalline cylinders of this alloy, obtained by the Suction Casting method, with diameters of about 1-2 mm. The microstructure and the magnetic properties of these FSM cylinders are discussed.

Full textSince the discovery of spin torque in 1996, independently by Berger and Slonczewski, and given its potential impact on information storage and communication technologies, (e.g. through the possibility of switching the magnetic configuration of a bit by current instead of a magnetic field, or the realization of high frequency spin torque oscillators (STO), this effect has been an important field of spintronics research. One aspect of this research focuses on ferromagnets with low damping. The lower the damping in a ferromagnet, the lower the critical current that is needed to induce switching of a spin valve or induce precession of its magnetization. In this thesis ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of NiMnSb layers are presented along with experimental studies on various spin-torque (ST) devices using NiMnSb. NiMnSb, when crystallized in the half-Heusler structure, is a half-metal which is predicted to have 100% spin polarization, a consideration which further increases its potential as a candidate for memory devices based on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect. The FMR measurements show an outstandingly low damping factor for NiMnSb, in low 10-3 range. This is about a factor of two lower than permalloy and well comparable to lowest damping for iron grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). According to theory the 100% spin polarization properties of the bulk disappear at interfaces where the break in translational symmetry causes the gap in the minority spin band to collapse but can remain in other crystal symmetries such as (111). Consequently NiMnSb layers on (111)(In,Ga)As buffer are characterized in respect of anisotropies and damping. The FMR measurements on these samples indicates a higher damping that for the 001 samples, and a thickness dependent uniaxial in-plane anisotropy. Investigations of the material for device use is pursued by considering sub-micrometer sized elements of NiMnSb on 001 substrates, which were fabricated by electron-beam lithography and measured by ferromagnetic resonance. The damping remains in the low 10-3 range as determined directly by extracting the Gilbert damping from the line width. Additionally magnetostatic modes are observed in arrays of elements, which is further evidence of high material quality of the samples. By sputtering various metals on top of the NiMnSb, spin pumping from the ferromagnet into the non-magnetic layer is investigated. After these material investigations, pseudo-spin-valves using NiMnSb as one of the ferromagnet, in combination with Permalloy were fabricating using a self-aligned lithography process. These samples show a GMR ratio of 3.4% at room temperature and almost double at low temperature, comparing favourably to the best single stack GMR structures reported to date. Moreover, current induced switching measurements show promisingly low current densities are necessary to change the magnetic orientation of the free layer. These current densities compete with state-of-the-art GMR devices for metal based structures and almost with tunnel junction devices. The true potential of these devices however comes to light when they are operated as spin torque oscillators to emit high frequency, tunable, narrow spectrum electromagnetic waves. These Heusler based STOs show an outstanding q-factor of 4180, even when operating in the absence of an external field, a value which bests the highest value in the literature by more than an order of magnitude. While these devices currently still suffer from the same limited output power as all STO reported to date, their sub-micron lateral dimensions make the fabrication of an on-chip array of coupled oscillators, which is a promising path forward towards industrially relevant output power

The effects of lattice constant and valence electron concentration e/a (electrons per atom) on the magnetocaloric effects of Ni–Mn-Sn Heusler alloys are invetigated. At first, the effect of Ge substitution for Sn on phase evolution and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) of Ni48Mn39Sn13-xGex (x=0-3) and Mn49Ni41Sn10-xGex (x=0-2) ribbons has been studied. When Mn content is over 45 at%, the Ge atoms prefer to form a Mn-rich phase with Mn atoms. This Mn-rich phase might suppress the martensitic transition of the alloy ribbons, resulting in the decrease of maximal magnetic entropy change, ΔSMmax. Secondly, for Co-substituted Mn49-xCoxNi41Sn10 (x=0-4) ribbons, the ferromagnetic behavior of austenite is improved with incresing Co content originated from the enhancement of ferromagnetic exchange interaction. For these series samples, an average ΔSMmax value of 12.5 J/kg·K is easily obtained in different operation temperature region. On the other hand, the Fe-Mn based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) is also an interesting functional material to study. In order to observe the relationship of exchange bias (EB) effect with phase composition, tunning the composition of Fe-Mn-Ga ternary alloy is nessessary. For Fe50Mn25Ga25 ribbon, the results showed that if its FCC phase undergoes field cooling, giant EB properties could be observed. The HEB=2.5 kOe and iHc=11 kOe were obtained at 5 K. Furthermore, if the content of Fe atoms is over 50 at% and Mn atoms lower than 25 at%, ribbons are perfer to form a B2 phase. In contrast, if Mn content is higher than 25at%, the ribbons are perfer to form a pure L12 phase (FCC). Next, the effect of Ni substitution for Fe on the crystal structure, magnetic state and magnetocaloric effect of the Fe-Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloy ribbons is also presented. Results show that with the increase of Ni content, the phase changed from FCC structure into B2 structure. An average ΔSMmax value is 1.5 Jkg/K in these samples. A relatively broader temperature range at the half maximum of ΔS¬M peak (~90 K), low-cost and nontoxic elements make Fe-Ni-Mn-Ga-based ribbons the promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration applications close to room temperature.
