Full textMaterials in which many-body interactions, low-dimensional confinement, and/or strong spin-orbit coupling are present show a rich variety of phenomena, but are still poorly understood. Essential information about the origin of such phenomena can be obtained by measuring their electronic structure. This thesis presents an experimental study of the electronic structure of some low-dimensional and/or strongly correlated materials of current fundamental interest, using angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES and SARPES). In the introductory part, I present my work on two innovative textbook examples showing how interactions affect the band structure of a material: the coupling of electrons with phonons in a Debye distribution in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in ZnO, a wide-band-gap oxide semiconductor used in photovoltaic applications, and the splitting induced by strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the bulk valence band of ZnTe, another important semiconductor used in optoelectronic devices. Then, in the rest of this thesis, I discuss my original results in three different low-dimensional systems of current interest: 1.The realisation of a 2DES at the (110) surface of SnO₂, the first of its kind in a rutile structure. Tunability of its carrier density by means of temperature or Eu deposition and robustness against surface reconstructions and exposure to ambient conditions make this 2DES promising for applications. By means of a simple redox reaction on the surface, this work has proven that oxygen vacancies can dope the conduction band minimum at the surface of SnO₂, solving a long-debated issue about their role in n-type doping in SnO₂. 2.The study of topological surface states in M₂Te₂X (with M = Hf, Zr, or Ti; and X = P or As), a new family of three-dimensional topological metals, originating from SOC and being protected by time-reversal symmetry. Their electronic structure and spin texture, studied by ARPES and SARPES, reveal the presence of massless Dirac fermions giving rise to Dirac-node arcs. 3.The investigation of the quasi-one-dimensional heavy-fermion material YbNi₄P₂, which presents a second-order quantum phase transition from a ferromagnetic to a paramagnetic phase upon partial substitution of phosphorous by arsenide. Such a transition is expected to occur only in zero- or one-dimensional systems, but a direct measurement of the electronic structure of ferromagnetic quantum-critical materials was missing so far. By careful in-situ preparation and cleaning of the surface of YbNi₄P₂ single crystals, which are impossible to cleave, their electronic structure has been successfully measured by ARPES, thus effectively unveiling the quasi-one-dimensionality of YbNi₄P₂. Moreover, the protocol used to make this material accessible to ARPES can be readily generalised to other exotic materials lacking a cleavage plane

Full textMaterials where the electrons responsible for the low-energy properties experience strong correlations are today very investigated in search of emerging new phases with surprising and/or useful properties. Iron-based superconductors (IBSC) are now considered in this class of compounds. Using the many-body techniques necessary for the theoretical treatment of these correlations (slave-spin mean field theory - SSMFT- and dynamical mean field theory - DMFT- in conjunction with density functional theory, DFT), in this thesis I address several properties of IBSC.First I analyze the very hole-doped compounds in the IBSC family, that show experimentally some behaviors typical of the so-called “heavy fermions”, compounds typically of rare earth or actinides, where extremely correlated electrons coexist with others less correlated. In particular I focus on the specific heat and the thermoelectric power and show how these properties can be understood in the recently developed paradigm of “Hund’s metals”. Indeed the intra-atomic exchange (the “Hund’s coupling”) is responsible for these materials of transition metal elements showing heavy-fermionic physics. I show also that typical heavy-fermionic features of the excitation spectrum, known as Van Hove singularities are well captured by our modelization within DFT+SSMFT. I then use DMFT in a model in order to study the direct impact of the Van Hove singularities on the strength of correlations.In a second part I show how FeSe, the presently most studied IBSC, is also in a Hund’s metal phase, but it is brought to the frontier of this phase by pressure. This frontier is connected to an enhancement of the electronic compressibility which correlates positively then with the enhancement of superconductivity found in experiments. I perform an analogous study on the record holder for the highest critical superconducting temperature, the monolayer FeSe where I also find an enhanced compressibility. This supports the recent proposal that the frontier of a Hund's metal favors high-temperature superconductivity.Finally I study the nature of magnetism in another family of IBSC, the iron-germanides. I explore different possible magnetic orders with DFT simulations and study their competition (which can in principle favor superconductivity) in several compounds where different chemical substitutions are applied to the parent compound YFe2Ge2. I also study the effect of chemical pressure on this compound

Full textIn this work, the occurrence and the mechanism of field induced transitions and the related critical fields were investigated. The way of measuring the magnetisation was designed for the existing pulsed field device of the IFW Dresden. The magnetisation was measured in fields up to 48 T. For the first time, the anisotropy coefficient of Sm2Fe17N3 was obtained in the combined measurement of the exchange field via inelastic neutron scattering and the measurement of the anisotropy constant K1 for the same material. For the leading anisotropy coefficient, a value of A20<r²> = -28 meV was found using K1 of about 13 MJ/m³. It was shown that the observed high field transition in SmCo2.5Cu2.5 and SmCo2Cu3 is connected with the microstructure. The laminar microstructure consisting of phases with different Sm-content is a necessary precondition for the occurrence of the transition. The coercivity increases with the Cu-content and reaches high values at low temperature. The coercivity and the transition field show big magnetic viscosity. In DyFe6Al6, the disappearance of the spontaneous magnetisation at low temperature is caused by a strong antiferromagnetic coupling. The magnetic transition at low temperature could be explained by a field induced magnetic moment on a disordered crystal site. For the hexagonal DyMn6Ge6, the temperature dependence of the transition field towards the canted antiferromagnetic structure was measured for the first time. Above 100 K, the applied field causes the transition from the helimagnetic to the fan structure. At low temperature, a spin flop transition occurs, which is supported by the magnetic anisotropy of the Dy-ion. The magnetisation of magnetocaloric materials exhibits a dependence of the field changing rate. This can be explained qualitatively by the measurement condition: The pulsed field measurement is adiabatic, whereas during static measurements, the condition is isothermal. Besides common magnetic compounds, highly correlated electron systems were also investigated. The magnetic transition at 43 T in CeNi2Ge2 can be explained by the suppression of the Kondo effect and the breaking up of the antiferromagnetic structure. Furthermore, magnetisation of high temperature superconductors was measured. The measurements in the pulsed field are a contribution to the determination of the phase diagram of melt textured YBa2Cu3O7-d. The irreversibility field Hirr was measured for bulk samples down to low temperature. Hirr(T) shows an unexpected linear increase down to low temperature. Because of the high field-changing rates and the big differences of magnetisation processes in magnetic materials, there is no uniform description of the magnetic viscosity for field changing rates in the magnitude from 0,001 up to 1000 T/s. By the measurement in the pulsed field, the magnitude of the magnetic viscosity of nanocrystalline barium ferrite was determined. Magnetisation measurement in pulsed fields is a very useful instrument to investigate field and time dependent properties of solids due to their high magnetic field and their high and varying field changing rate
