Full textAbstract:
Magnet schools were developed in the early 1970s when a large number of urban school districts began seeking alternatives to court-ordered desegregation mandates (Levine and Steel, 1994). Since that time, numerous studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of magnet schools in providing a racially balanced learning environment as well as increasing academic achievement. The purpose of the causal-comparative study was to determine if the math and science magnet program at a middle school affected achievement, attendance, and parent perceptions.
This study conducted three different analyses. A chi square analysis of the student population was conducted to determine racial balanced on attendance data from the school years 1993-94 through 1996-97, and if the racial balance of the magnet program mirrored that of the district. Three-way ANCOVA analyses, with a 2x2x2 factorial design were performed on attendance and the five components of the 1997 Stanford Achievement Test Form 9-TA results for the eighth grade population at the targeted middle school enrolled during the 1996-97 school year. Complete data for 177 eighth grade students was utilized. Attendance and achievement served as the dependent variables. The independent variables tested were group membership (magnet, non-magnet), gender (male, female), and race/ethnicity (black, white). Socio-economic status (SES) and Literacy Passport Test (LPT) scores served as the covariates in the study. A survey of school effectiveness was sent to a random sample of parents. A t-test was performed to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between the perceptions of parents of magnet students and parents of student not enrolled in the program on school effectiveness.
The racial balance of the magnet program did not mirror that of the district. There was more of an equally distributed number of blacks and whites in the magnet program. Within the district, approximately 68% of the student enrollment was black, the white enrollment was approximately 31%. Magnet students achieved statistically significantly higher scores on each of the five components of the Stanford Achievement Test Form
9-TA than non-magnet students. Gender and race/ethnicity differences were statistically significant in science achievement in that male and white students achieved higher scores than female and black students. There was a statistically significant difference in attendance between magnet students and non-magnet students. Magnet students attended school more than non-magnet students. There was no significant difference in perceptions of parents of magnet and non-magnet students. Both groups felt that the school was very good. Implications for future avenues of research were also suggested.Ed. D.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. 38).
Planar magnet-coil actuators are used in many different MEMS devices. This report describes one way to improve the actuator range per current input of planar coil actuators. This is accomplished by adding a flux channel around and beneath the actuator's magnet. The Lorentz force is created by putting a current carrying planar coil over a magnet in an actuator assembly. The Lorentz force depends on the current vector and the magnetic field vector. In this thesis the Lorentz force is altered by changing the direction and concentration of the magnetic field. Magnetic fields may be modeled as flux lines traveling from the north face of the magnet to the south face along the least resistant path. Iron is a magnetic material with 4000 times the magnetic permeability of air, so when iron is placed in a magnetic field, the majority of the magnetic flux will travel from North to South through the iron. This "channel" alters the way the magnetic field would normally travel given the bare magnet. The magnetic flux that travels through the channel depends in part upon the channel geometry. The result of varying the width of this channel is modeled and tested in this work. The physical principle was examined in simulations by varying channel width and then extracting the corresponding actuator output. A relationship was fit to the simulated results.
(cont.) The actuator output augmentation was maximized at a critical width and remained steady thereafter. Beyond the critical width, the addition of the flux channel was able to produce more than 45% increase in the actuator force. Experimental results showed less than a 5% difference from the simulated results.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, field oriented control of permanent magnet synchronous motors using three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter is studied. Permanent magnet synchronous motors are used in high performance drive applications. In this study, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is fed by three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter. For three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter different space vector modulation algorithms, which are reported in literature, are analyzed and compared via computer simulations. The voltage balance on dc-link capacitors is also analyzed and a software control method is implemented in conjunction with the space vector PWM modulation, utilized. Nonlinear effects such as dead-time, semiconductor voltage drop and delays in gate drive circuitries also present in neutral-point-clamped inverter. The effects of these nonlinearities are studied and a compensation method for these nonlinear effects is proposed. The theoretical results are supported with computer simulations and verified with experimental results.

Full textAbstract:
Recent experiments have shown that junctions consisting of individual single-molecule magnets (SMMs) bridged between two electrodes can be fabricated in three-terminal devices, and that the characteristic magnetic anisotropy of the SMMs can be affected by electrons tunneling through the molecule. Vibrational modes of the SMM can couple to electronic charge and spin degrees of freedom, and this coupling also influences the magnetic and transport properties of the SMM. The effect of electron-vibron coupling on transport has been extensively studied in small molecules, but not yet for junctions of SMMs. The goals of this thesis will be two-fold: to present a novel approach for studying the effects of this electron-vibron coupling on transport through SMMs that utilizes both density functional theory calculations and model Hamiltonian construction and analysis, and to present a software framework based on this hybrid approach for the simulation of transport across user-defined SMMs. The results of these simulations will indicate a characteristic suppression of the current at low energies that is strongly dependent on the overall electron-vibron coupling strength and number of molecular vibrational modes considered.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this work was to investigate the effects that a magnetic field can induce during the electrodeposition of Ni and Ni-Fe alloys. Special regard was given to mass transport controlled effects. Magnetic field effects on the nucleation and growth of ferromagnetic layers and on the properties of electrodeposited layers (like grain size, texture, morphology or roughness) were investigated. The influence of a magnetic field on the magnetic properties of Ni layers and on the composition of Ni-Fe alloys was also studied. Nucleation and growth of thin Ni layers on gold electrodes under a superimposed magnetic field were analysed in-situ with the Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance technique. Three theoretical models were chosen for characterizing the Ni nucleation: Scharifker-Hills (SH), Scharifker-Mostany (SM) and Heerman-Tarallo (HT). The AFM images proved that more nuclei appear in a magnetic field in the case that the Lorentz force and the natural convection act in the same direction. From all the models, the HT model gave the best agreement with the AFM results. When the Lorentz force and the natural convection act in the same direction, an increase of the Ni partial current with the magnetic field was obtained. When they act in opposite directions, the Ni current was influenced just at the beginning of deposition (first 10 seconds). At longer times, the magnetic field has no effect on the Ni current. However, the total current (jNi+jHER) decreases with the magnetic field. In the absence of a macroscopic MHD convection, the Ni current decreases with the magnetic field the first 10-15 seconds of deposition. On longer time scales no influence of the magnetic field could be noticed for this configuration. When the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the electric current, an increase of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with the magnetic flux density was noticed. Hydrogen reduction is mass transport controlled. Therefore, the magnetic field will increase the limiting current of the HER. Optical microscopy images showed that the hydrogen bubbles were circular in the absence of the MHD convection and that they presented a tail when a Lorentz force was present. The direction of the tail depends on the net force induced by the natural and MHD convections. The interplay between the natural and MHD convections proved to be important during Ni-Fe alloy deposition, too. When the Lorentz force and the natural convection act in the same direction, an increase of the Fe content of the alloys with the magnetic field was observed. When the Lorentz force was perpendicular to the natural convection, no significant changes were observed in the composition of the layers. The alloy composition did not change with the magnetic field when the electric current was parallel to the magnetic field lines. Two surfactants were used in the case that Ni was electrodeposited from a sulfamate bath: SDS and sulfirol 8. The Ni layers obtained from a sulfamate bath with sulfirol 8 presented larger grains compared to the layers deposited from a bath free of surfactants. This increase of the grain size was attributed to the incorporation of the surfactant in the deposit. Coarser layers were obtained in a magnetic field (applied perpendicular to the electric current) when the electrodeposition was done from an electrolyte with surfactants. The number of grains increased with the magnetic field for the Ni layers electrodeposited from a bath free of surfactants and for a bath with SDS. As a consequence, the grain size decreased. In the case of the electrolyte with sulfirol 8, the number of grains decreased with the magnetic field, and their size increased. For the Ni-Fe alloys, which contained less than 10 at% Fe, the preferred crystalline orientation changes from (220), in the absence of a magnetic field, to (111), (when the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the electric current). When the magnetic field lines were parallel to the electric current, both the (111) and (220) textures were preferred in almost the same proportion. As a general conclusion of this work it can be said that by choosing the right experimental condition, one can improve the morphology and the properties of the deposited layers by applying a magnetic field. At the same time, the mass transport processes can be influenced by a magnetic field.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse est consacré à l’étude des propriétés magnéto-optiques de nanoparticules (NP) magnétiques de ferrite de cobalt (CoFe2O4) sous forme liquide et lorsqu’elles sont bloquées dans une matrice de silice produite par voie sol-gel. Cette dernière dispersion constitue un matériau composite à activité magnéto-optique obtenu par un procédé basse température qui le rend totalement compatible avec les technologies d’intégration. A plus long terme, ce matériau pourra contribuer à l’intégration de composants non-réciproques. L’objectif de ce travail est d’une part l’identification du type de NP qui maximise la rotation Faraday et le facteur de mérite (rapport de la rotation Faraday à l’absorption) dans le but d’améliorer la qualité magnéto-optique du matériau composite. Et d’autre part, il s’agit d’améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes physiques liés aux effets magnéto-optiques de ces nanoparticules et le lien avec leurs caractéristiques physiques. L’étude est menée sur des NP magnétiques synthétisées et dispersées en phase aqueuse au laboratoire PHENIX (UMR CNRS 8234). Les mesures optiques et magnéto-optiques réalisées au laboratoire Hubert Curien (UMR CNRS 5516) ont été complétées par des mesures magnétiques XMCD au synchrotron SOLEIL. L’étude des différentes nanoparticules magnétiques a révélé que l’utilisation d’une petite taille de NP permet de multiplier par deux le facteur de mérite du matériau pour une longueur d’onde de 1,5 µm, soit une division par deux des pertes pour les composants magnéto-optiques visés. L’analyse du comportement spectral de l’effet Faraday illustre l’influence de la distribution cationique des ions Co2+ et Fe3+ dans la structure cristalline. Couplée aux mesures XMCD, l’analyse montre le besoin d’une localisation de l’ion Co2+ en site tétraédrique dans la structure spinelle pour maximiser l’effet Faraday à 1,5µm, et obtenir une anisotropie uniaxe qui permette une pré-orientation aisée des NP lors de la gélificationThis work is dedicated to the study of the magneto-optical properties of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NP) dispersed in liquid as ferrofluid, or blocked in a solid silica matrix realized with a sol-gel method. This last dispersion is a magneto-optical composite material, obtained with a low temperature process which insures its compatibility with photonic integration technologies, to produce, in the future, integrated non-reciprocal devices. The aim of the study is, on one hand, to identify which kind of NP can improve the Faraday effect and the merit factor (ratio between the Faraday effect and the absorption) of the composite material. On the other hand, the aim is to give a better understanding of the link between the magneto-optical properties and the physical characteristics of the NP. The study has been led on NP synthetized and dispersed as ferrofluid in PHENIX laboratory (UMR CNRS 8234). Optical and magneto-optical measurements were made in Hubert Curien laboratory (UMR CNRS 5516) and completed by XMCD analysis in Synchroton SOLEIL. Results show that it is necessary to use a small size of NP (5 nm) to maximize the merit factor at a wavelength of 1,5 µm. The spectral analysis of the Faraday effect shows the influence of the cationic distribution of Co2+ et Fe3+ in the spinelle structure. Coupled to XMCD results, this analysis shows that it is necessary to maximize the quantity of Co2+ in tetraedric sites to maximize the Faraday effect at 1,5 µm and to obtain an uniaxial anisotropy which allows to orientate the NP during the gelification of the sol-gel matrix

Full textAbstract:
The structural and magnetic physical properties of initial and annealed Co-rich microwires in a glass
shell with the diameter D = 70-125 μm and the diameter of the amorphous metallic core d = 70-95 μm,
produced by the Ulitovsky–Taylor method, have been studied. The magnetic characteristics, in particular,
the saturation field HS and the coercive force HC of the samples were found to depend on annealing temperature.
The obtained experimental data was explained by the structural peculiarities of the microwires.
The near-surface values of HS and HC were found to be larger than the bulk values by a factor of 5–10.
These experimental data have been explained by the existence of structural and chemical ingomogeneities
in the near-surface layer, which are inherent in amorphous materials.

Nonlinear magneto-optical effects, originated from atomic coherence, are studied both theoretically and experimentally in thermal Rb vapor. The analytical description of the fundamental properties of coherent media are based on the simplified three- and four-level systems, and then verified using numerical simulations and experimental measurements. In particular, we analyze the modification of the long-lived atomic coherence due to various physical effects, such as reabsorption of
spontaneous radiation, collisions with a buffer gas atoms, etc. We also discuss the importance of the high-order nonlinearities in the description of the polarization rotation for the elliptically polarized light. The effect of self-rotation of the elliptical polarization is also analyzed.
Practical applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects are considered in precision metrology and magnetometery, and for the generation of non-classical states of electromagnetic field.

Full textAbstract:
This work is comprised of the study of two magneto-optical phenomena: the Kerr effect and the Faraday effect. Neutron physics experiments often utilize polarized neutrons, and one method to generate or guide polarized neutrons involves the use of a system of magnetic super-mirrors. Experience shows that the magnetization of the super-mirror may decay with time; therefore, we implemented the surface magneto-optical Kerr effect (SMOKE) to study the temporal behavior of the magnetization of a magnetized remnant super-mirror sample, where a sensitivity of 0.1 mrad was obtained. Unique to our set-up was the method in which the various magnetization directions were probed. The sample was magnetized prior to insertion into the set-up, and a high precision rotational stage was used to manually rotate the sample to effectively generate a reversal of the magnetic field. Multiple samples from a larger super-mirror specimen were tested, in which no change in the magnetization was detected for one month after sample magnetization. Further studies could increase the sensitivity of the experiment, potentially rendering the method as an application for real-time magnetization monitoring.
Polarized 3He nuclei are often used as an effective polarized neutron target at various laboratories, including Jefferson Lab, through the use of spin-exchange optical pumping in a glass cell constructed of GE-180. Utilizing the nuclear spin optical rotation to measure the Faraday effect of polarized 3He would develop a new procedure for polarization monitoring, establish a powerful tool to diagnose the wall properties and thicknesses of the cells used, and the determination of the frequency independent magnetic component of the polarizability would ultimately lead to the extraction of the spin polarizability of 3He. Furthermore, this study has the future implications of being the pioneer experiment for terrestrial dark matter studies. A new triple modulation technique was devised, where a sensitivity of 60 nrad was obtained, and the first ever extraction of the Verdet constant of GE-180 was recorded, an important factor in wall thicknesses and diagnostic investigations for Jefferson Lab. However, a measurement of the nuclear spin optical rotation of a polarized 3He target was not realized, as the measured polarization suggests a Faraday rotation just below the 60 nrad threshold. Nevertheless, the devised triple modulation method proves to be a very sensitive probe in Faraday effect studies, and additional examination of the polarized target for the production of a larger polarization, should yield a measurement of the nuclear spin optical rotation of polarized 3He.

Full textAbstract:
Résumé : Au cours de cette thèse nous nous sommes intéressés à différentes propriétés de transport électrique, thermique et thermoélectrique. En particulier, nous avons mis en évidence les effets Righi-Leduc anomal et planaire qui sont les équivalents thermiques des effets Hall anomal et planaire. Ces effets doivent impérativement être considérés dans l’interprétation des mesures d’effet Seebeck de Spin.Nous avons mis à profit les techniques développées dans le cadre de cette étude pour étudier l’effet Nernst dans InSb. Nous avons utilsé un modèle de distribution de porteur pour expliquer les non-linéarités de celui-ci à des champs magnétiques proches de 1T.Nous avons construit une expérience de résonance ferromagnétique dont le but sera d’étudier les implications des effets thermique et thermoélectrique dans les expérience de pompage de spin. Enfin, nous nous sommes intéréssés au transport électrique en géométrie Corbino. La géométrie Corbino est celle d’un disque dans laquelle il n’existe aucun bord libre ou des charges peuvent s’accumuler. Cela se traduit par l’apparition d’un courant de Hall ortho-radial dont la conséquence est l’augmentation de la résistance du disque. Nous avons mis en évidence une augmentation de résistance en géométrie Corbino dans CoGd et CoTb dont l’origine est l’effet Hall anomale. Bien que cet effet ne soit pas dissipatif, il a donné naissance à un courant dissipatif transverse. Nous avons également vu que cet effet entre en compétition avec la magnétorésistance anisotrope dans le permalloy.Du fait de la similitude entre l’effet Hall anomal et l’effet Hall de spin, on s’attend dans le platine à l’existence d’un fort courant de spin orthoradial sans possibilités d’accumulations dont la mise en évidence expérimentale fera l’objet de travaux futursAbstract: During this PhD we studied different electric, thermal and thermoelectric properties. For instance, we characterized the anomalous and planar Righi-Leduc effects which are the thermal equivalent of the anomalous and planar Hall effects. These effect have to be taken into account when interpreting spin Seebeck measurements.We used the technics that we developped during this study to look at the Nernst effect in InSb. We developped, a carrier mobility distribution model to explain its non-linearity at fields around 1T.We built a ferromagnetic resonance experiment in order to study the impact of thermal and thermoelectric properties in spin pumping effect.Lastly, we studied electric transport in the Corbino geometry. Corbino geometry is the one of a disc where there are no free boundaries where electric charges can accumulate. This causes the apparition of an orthoradial Hall current which consequence is the increase of resistance of the disc. We showed an increase of resistance in the Corbino geometry in CoGd and CoTb originating from anomalous Hall effect. Despite the anomalous Hall effect does not dissipate, it produces an orthoradial current which dissipates. We also found in permalloy that this increase of resistance is counterbalanced by a decrease of resistance due to the anisotropic magnetoresistance.The similarity between anomalous Hall effect and spin Hall effect which share a common microscopic origin implies that we expect in platinum the apparition of an orthoradial spin current without possibility for the charges to accumulateition. This current should dissipate just the way it does for the anomalous Hall effect.The study of this spin current will be the topic of a futur study

Full textAbstract:
Single molecule magnets (SMMs), such as Mn12-acetate, are composed of transition metal ions and consists of identical molecules with large ground-state spin (S = 10) and a strong uniaxial anisotropy (65 K). Below about 3 K, Mn12-acetate exhibits magnetic hysteresis with steps at specific values of longitudinal magnetic field due to resonant quantum tunneling between spin up and down projections along the easy axis. The intermolecular exchange interactions between spins on molecules are quite small and spins are considered to be independent and non-interacting.
However, the molecules do interact with each other both through magnetic dipolar interactions and through the lattice (e.g. phonons). I have investigated collective effects in SMMs due to these intermolecular interactions. In the thesis I will present experiments that explored magnetic ordering due to magnetic dipole interactions in Mn12-acetate and Mn12-acetate-MeOH. I will also present exper- iments on the onset of magnetic de agration in Mn12-acetate due to a thermal instability.
The magnetic ordering studies involved investigating the effect of transverse fields on the susceptibility of single crystals of Mn12-acetate and Mn12-acetate- MeOH. Transverse fields increase quantum spin uctuations that suppress long- range order. However, the suppression of the Curie temperature by transverse fields in Mn12-acetate is far more rapid than predicted by the Transverse-Field Ising Ferromagnetic Model (TFIFM) and instead agrees with the predictions of the Random-Field Ising Ferromagnet Model. It appears that solvent disorder in Mn12-acetate gives rise to a distribution of random-fields that further suppress long-range order. Subsequent studies on Mn12-acetate-MeOH, with the same spin and similar lattice constants but without solvent disorder as Mn12-acetate, agrees with the TFIFM.
The magnetic de agration studies involved studying the instability that leads to the ignition of magnetic deflagration in a thermally driven Mn 12-acetate crystal. When spins prepared in a metastable state reverse, Zeeman energy is released that diffuses away. In some circumstances, the heat released cannot be compensated by thermal diffusion, resulting in an instability that gives rise to a front of rapidly reversing spins traveling through the crystal. We observed a sharp crossover from relaxation driven by heat diffusion to a self-sustained reversal front that propagates at a constant subsonic speed.

Full textAbstract:
Nous avons étudié les retournements d'aimantation par effet tunnel quantique dans des aimants moléculaires. Nos expériences montrent clairement l'effet tunnel quantique dans l'aimant moléculaire Fe8. Ce système se compose d'un ensemble d'aimants nanoscopiques identiques et orientes parallèlement. Chacune des molécules porte un spin s = 10. Les mesures de relaxation sont faites en utilisant des magnétomètres à squid aux performances uniques. Ces magnétomètres permettent des mesures de haute sensibilité en champ fort, jusqu'a 8 tesla, et aux très basses températures (>50 mK). A haute température le système Fe8 se comporte comme un système superparamagnetique qui relaxe par activation thermique au-dessus d'une barrière de 24 K. Au-dessous de 0,4 K la relaxation est indépendante de la température ce qui est le signe d'un effet tunnel quantique du spin moléculaire à travers la barrière. Le temps de relaxation varie fortement avec le champ externe et montre des effets résonants. Dans le régime quantique la courbe de relaxation est non-exponentielle et bien décrite par une exponentielle étirée. Le début de la courbe de relaxation suit une loi en racine carrée du temps. Nous montrons que le champ dipolaire entre les molécules a une forte influence sur la relaxation mais le champ dipolaire n'agit pas comme une force : il permet ou empêche l'effet tunnel quantique dans une molécule. Nous présentons un modelé phénoménologique simple qui explique pourquoi la courbe de relaxation ressemble à une exponentielle étirée. Dans ce modèle nous supposons que chaque molécule a une résonance très étroite et que la distribution du champ local évolue pendant la relaxation. De plus, nous présentons un calcul numérique sur l'évolution de la distribution du champ local. Un calcul de Monte-Carlo avec des distributions réalistes montre lui aussi l'existence de corrélations inhabituelles en accord qualitatif avec nos observations.

Ce travail se situe dans le contexte de l’utilisation des ondes de spin comme vecteur d’information. Il explore la possibilité d’exciter l’aimantation dans de fines couches ferromagnétiques grâce au couplage magnéto-élastique. Cela permettrait un adressage non-inductif, efficace, et distant des ondes de spin. Dans un premier volet, nous avons développé un dispositif expérimental générant des ondes acoustiques de surface (ODS) électriquement, verrouillées en phase à des impulsions de laser sonde. La dynamique d’aimantation est détectée grâce aux effets magnéto-optiques (Kerr et Voigt). Nous étudions le couplage magnétoélastique résonant dans une couche mince du semiconducteur magnétique (Ga,Mn)As. Afin d’atteindre la résonance, la fréquence des ondes de spin est ajustée à celle des ODS par un champ magnétique. Nous isolons les contributions photo-élastique et magnéto-optique du signal, pour quantifier l’amplitude de la précession d’aimantation. Nous montrons que la précession observée est exclusivement déclenchée par l’ODS. La variation en champ de son amplitude correspond très bien à celle calculée, et elle est maximum au champ pour laquelle l’absorption de l’ODS est maximale, démontrant clairement la résonance magnétoacoustique. L’influence de la fréquence et de la puissance de l’ODS, ainsi que de la température sur l’efficacité du couplage est également explorée. Dans un deuxième volet, nous avons excité des ODS par effet thermoélastique grâce à un faisceau laser focalisé, et cela sur des couches magnétiques métalliques cette fois-ci (Ni, FeGa, Co), déposées sur un substrat transparent (verre, sapphire). Des cartes spatio-temporelles du déplacement de la surface et du signal magnéto-optique ont été obtenues. Un décalage du spectre magnéto-optique vers les hautes fréquences semble indiquer une excitation des ondes de spin par les ODSIn the developing field of spin wave-based information technology, this work investigates the possibility to use surface acoustic waves (SAW) to excite spin-waves in ferromagnetic thin layers relying on the magnetoelastic coupling. This would provide a non-inductive, efficient, and remote addressing of spin waves. In the first project we develop an experimental setup to generate electrically excited SAWs phase-locked to probe laser pulses. The magnetization dynamics is detected by an optical bridge using magneto-optical effects (Kerr and Voigt). We investigate the resonant magneto-elastic coupling in a thin film of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. To reach resonant coupling, the spin-wave frequency is scanned across the SAW frequency using a magnetic field. We disentangle the photoelastic contribution from the magneto-optical one, from which we obtain the amplitude of magnetization precession. We show that it is driven solely by the acoustic wave. Its field dependence is shown to agree well with theoretical calculations. Its amplitude resonates at the same field as the resonant attenuation of the acoustic wave, clearly evidencing the magnetoacoustic resonance with high sensitivity. The influence of temperature, SAW frequency and power on the coupling efficiency are studied. In the second project we use SAWs thermoelastically excited by a tightly focused laser beam on ferromagnetic metals (Ni, FeGa, Co) on a transparent substrate (glass, sapphire). Spatio-temporal maps of the surface displacement and magneto-optical signal are obtained. A high-frequency shift of the frequency spectrum of the latter gives a hint for spin-wave excitation by SAWs

The magnetization profile of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and the binding ability of MNPs with metal ions in aqueous solutions were investigated by means of the magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) and the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements. The ultra-visible MLD spectra of the non-modified and surface modified MNPs with -COOH showed a typical magnetization curve for a superparamagnetic
particles. Also, the MLD spectra were changed drastically by the addition of dysprosium(III) ion and showed that MLD spectra can be used for the evaluation of metal-MNPs binding ability. Furthermore, the magnetization of MNPs solution was measured sensitively by the transversal MOKE measurements, where a polarized beam was reflected at the interface of prism/solution of MNPs.

Full textAbstract:
As the major electricity consumer, electrical machines play a key role for global energy savings. Machine manufacturers put considerable efforts into the development of more efficient electrical machines for loss reduction and higher power density achievements. A consolidated knowledge of the occurring losses in electrical machines is a basic requirement for efficiency improvements. This thesis deals with iron losses in electrical machines. The major focus is on the influences of the stator core magnetic material due to the machine manufacturing process, temperature influences, and the impact of inverter operation. The first part of the thesis gives an overview of typical losses in electrical machines, with focus put on iron losses. Typical models for predicting iron losses in magnetic materials are presented in a comprehensive literature study. A broad comparison of magnetic materials and the introduction of a new material selection tool conclude this part. Next to the typically used silicon-iron lamination alloys for electrical machines, this thesis investigates also cobalt-iron and nickel-iron lamination sheets. These materials have superior magnetic properties in terms of saturation magnetization and hysteresis losses compared to silicon-iron alloys. The second and major part of the thesis introduces the developed measurement system of this project and presents experimental iron loss investigations. Influences due to machine manufacturing changes are studied, including punching, stacking and welding effects. Furthermore, the effect of pulse-width modulation schemes on the iron losses and machine performance is examined experimentally and with finite-element method simulations. For nickel-iron lamination sheets, a special focus is put on the temperature dependency, since the magnetic characteristics and iron losses change considerably with increasing temperature. Furthermore, thermal stress-relief processes (annealing) are examined for cobalt-iron and nickel-iron alloys by magnetic measurements and microscopic analysis. A thermal method for local iron loss measurements is presented in the last part of the thesis, together with experimental validation on an outer-rotor permanent magnet synchronous machine.QC 20140516

Este trabalho demonstra que o efeito de extremidade existente em atuadores eletromagnéticos lineares pode ter influência significativa nas indutâncias próprias, mútuas e síncronas, com valores dependentes da posição que podem ser utilizados para monitoração da posição axial da armadura. O estudo é aplicado a um atuador eletromagnético linear tubular de ímãs permanentes com duplo arranjo de quase-Halbach e bobina móvel, que foi concebido para fins de uso em sistemas de suspensão eletromagnética ativa e semi-ativa. A partir da revisão de literatura apresentada, classificou-se o efeito de extremidade de máquinas lineares síncronas de ímãs permanentes quanto aos tipos, causas, consequências e técnicas de mitigação (caso seja necessário). Adicionalmente, os tipos de controle sem sensores são exemplificados a fim de se identificar maneiras possíveis de adequar algum ao atuador em estudo. São apresentados casos de trabalhos na literatura que utilizam o controle sem sensores em máquinas que possuem indutâncias com comportamento semelhante. Em termos de análise, a distribuição do fluxo magnético no atuador é estudada e um modelo semianalítico é elaborado para calcular o valor das indutâncias com base nos dados de fluxo magnético obtido por simulação numérica. Logo, modelos numéricos completos e parametrizados do atuador são elaborados para simulação transiente e magnetostática e a partir destes as indutâncias são obtidas. As indutâncias também são medidas experimentalmente e na análise dos resultados as incertezas de medição são calculadas e um projeto de experimento é apresentado. Os resultados dos modelos semianalítico e numérico apresentam boa concordância com os resultados experimentais. Por fim, a adequação do atuador para futura aplicação de controle sem sensores é discutida tendo como base a variação de indutâncias devido ao efeito de extremida.This work demonstrates that the end effect in linear electromagnetic actuators can have a significant influence on the self-, mutual and synchronous inductances, with positiondependent values that can be used to measure the axial position of the armature. The study is applied to a linear synchronous electromagnetic actuator with two arrangements of quasi- Halbach permanent magnets and moving coil, which was designed for use in active and semiactive electromagnetic suspension systems. Based on the literature review presented, the end effect of permanent magnet synchronous linear machines was classified with regard to: types, causes, consequences and mitigation techniques (if necessary). In addition, the types of sensorless control methods are exemplified in order to identify a possible method to be applied to the actuator under study. It was found in the literature that sensorless control was applied to machines that have inductances with similar behavior. In terms of analysis, the distribution of the magnetic flux in the actuator is studied and a semi-analytical model was developed to calculate the value of the inductances based on the data of magnetic flux obtained through numerical simulation. Thus, the complete parametrized numerical models of the actuator were built for transient and magnetostatic simulation, and from these the inductances were obtained. The inductances are also measured experimentally, and in the analysis of the results the measurement uncertainties are calculated and a design of experiments is presented. The results of the semi-analytical and numerical models show good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, the suitability of the actuator for future application of sensorless control is discussed based on the variation of inductances due to the end effect.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis documents the work and research effort on the design, fabrication and testing of a magnetocaloric MEMS microcooler, focusing on the testing of the microcooler at low magnetic fields. The phenomenon of magnetocaloric effect (MCE), or adiabatic temperature change, which is obtained by heating or cooling magnetic materials due to a varying magnetic field, can be exploited in the area of magnetic refrigeration as a reliable, energy-efficient cooling system. In particular, its applications are being explored primarily in cryogenic technologies as a viable process for the liquefaction of hydrogen. The challenge for magnetic refrigeration is that the necessary MCE is most easily achieved with high magnetic fields (5-6 Tesla) provided by superconducting magnets. However, a significant magnetocaloric effect can be exhibited at lower magnetic fields (1-2 Tesla) by carefully controlling initial temperature conditions as well as by selecting, preparing and synthesizing the optimal fabrication process of Silicon (Si) wafers. A microcooler was integrated based on previous works of others and tested. Finally, testing of the magnetocaloric effect was conducted and results analyzed. Experimental results in these domains demonstrate that magnetic refrigeration can be part of the best current cooling technology, without having to use volatile, environmentally hazardous fluids. The MEMS magnetocaloric refrigerator demonstrated a ~ -12°C change in the temperature of cooling fluid at a magnetic field of 1.2 T.

Full textAbstract:
Articial spin ice structures are two-dimensional systems of lithographically fabricated lattices ofelongated ferromagnetic islands, which interact via dipolar interaction. These systems have beenshown to be a suitable playground to study the magnetic, monopole-like, excitations, similar tothose in three-dimensional rare-earth pyrochlores. Therefore, such articial structures can be potentialmaterials for investigations of magnetricity [1]. The investigations of these articial spin icestructures stretches from the direct imaging of the magnetic congurations among the islands to indirectinvestigation methods allowing to determine the phase transitions occurring in such systems. Inthis project, square articial spin ice arrays were investigated employing magneto-optical Kerr eectfor the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility. The susceptibility dependence on temperaturewas measured at dierent frequencies of the applied AC magnetic eld for arrays of the dierentisland spacing and at two dierent incident light directions with the respect to the direction of theislands. A peak shift of the real part of susceptibility, χ', with increasing frequency towards thehigher temperatures was observed. Furthermore, a rough estimation of the relaxation times of themagnetic moments in the islands is given by the analysis of the susceptibility data.

Full textAbstract:
Les dispositifs magnéto-optiques (MO) sont les éléments de base des isolateurs optiques, éléments essentiels pour les lasers et LIDAR. Ils sont également utilisés pour l'imagerie, le stockage ou les capteurs. Une structuration périodique du matériau magnétique est un moyen pour en améliorer les performances, et ainsi réduire la taille des composants intégrés ou améliorés la sensibilité des capteurs associés. Cependant, la mise en œuvre des matériaux magnéto-optiques habituels au sein des platefo1mes d'optique intégrée est rendue difficile par la forte température de cristallisation (- 7000C) qu'ils requièrent. En utilisant un processus sol-gel basse température, une matrice de silice peut être dopée par des nanoparticules magnétiques (C0Fe204) pour produire un matériau qui présente une excellente compatibilité avec les substrats photoniques. Dans ce travail, ce matériau composite a été utilisé pour imprégner un réseau grâce à un dépôt en une seule étape à une température inférieure à 100 °C. Il s'agit d'un réseau lD ShN4 sur verre. Des simulations numériques, basées sur les méthodes RCW A, et réalisées à 1,55 µm ont permis de déterminer les paramètres adéquats pour obtenir un réseau résonnant, simultanément pour les polarisations TE et TM, à incidence normale. Les simulations MO ont démontré que ce type de structure permet d'obtenir l'exaltation de tous les effets magnéto-optiques classiques (Kerr et Faraday). Le facteur de mérite théorique obtenu est comparable voir supérieur à ceux rapportés dans la littérature qui utilisent des matériaux MO classiques. Ces améliorations ont été confirmées par des réalisations et caractérisations expérimentales. Par exemple, une augmentation de la rotation de Faraday d'un facteur 3,5 a été obtenue par rapport à un film mince de référence. Le facteur de mérite correspondant était comparable voir supérieur à ceux présentés dans la littérature prouvant la grande efficacité de notre structure. Les résultats de ce travail sont la première démonstration d'une augmentation de tous les effets MO avec un seul dispositifMagneto-optical (MO) devices are the basic elements of optical isolators essential for lasers an1 LIDAR, and are also employed for aircraft imaging, data storage or sensing. A periodic structuration of the core magnetic material is a way to enhance its MO behavior, and is thus useful to reduce the footprint of integrated devices or to improve the sensitivity of related sensors. However, the processing of efficient magnetic materials on photonic platforms is still challenging, because classical MO materials require an annealing temperature as high as 700°C. Using a sol-gel process, a silica matrix can be doped by magnetic nanoparticles (C0Fe204) to produce a MO material which possess a full compatibility with photonic substrates. In this work, this composite material was incorporated into an already structured template through a single step deposition at low temperature. The template was a 1-D SiJN4 grating on glass. Numerical simulations, based on RCW A methods, have been carried out to identify the suitable values of the grating period and the line-space ratio which produce a guided-mode resonance at 1.55 µm simultaneously for TE and TM polarizations, at normal incidence. MO simulations demonstrated that an enhancement of magneto-optical effects is obtained in transmission or reflection for every orientation of the applied magnetic field (Kerr or Faraday effects). The theoretical figure of merit for these structures were comparable or higher than those reported in literature which use classical MO materials. These enhancements were confirmed by experimental realizations and measurements. For instance, a Faraday rotation enhancement of 3.5 times was demonstrated compared to the reference thin-film. The c01Tesponding figure of merit was comparable or higher than those reported in literature proving the high efficiency of our structure. The results of this work are the 1st demonstration of an enhancement of every MO effect with a single device

Recently, the giant magneto impedance (GMI) effect has been studied extensively because of its potential applications in sensor elements. The focus of this thesis work is to explore different compositions and processing conditions for CoSiB and NiFe thin films to obtain the soft magnetic properties and to evaluate their potential use in GMI sensor applications. Prior to this study, an MH Looper was constructed, which was extremely important and provided the basic magnetic characterization of the many ferromagnetic thin films deposited during this work. The CoSiB films were co-sputter deposited in an ultra high vacuum chamber. Films with different relative compositions of Co, Si and B were deposited by varying respective target powers. Different substrate bias conditions were also studied. Also, NiFe films were studied by varying relative composition by variation of target powers and also by variation deposition pressure. The effect of annealing was also studied. The magnetic and electrical characterization of these films was done using the MH Looper, Quad-pro four-point probe resistivity measurement, and Low Frequency Impedance analyzer HP4192A. Finally, CoSiB films with soft magnetic properties were obtained with optimized set of deposition parameters. A sample for GMI measurement was prepared, consisting of a multilayer thin film structure: CoSiB 200nm/ Cu 400nm / CoSiB 200nm. A serpentine pattern was generated on this film by photolithography technique. After obtaining the pattern, GMI studies were performed using LF impedance analyzer. This instrument was capable of providing the drive frequency in the range of 5Hz to 13MHz, but the impedance mis-match of the test fixture limited useful measurements to 9MHz. The highest GMI ratio observed was 6.2% at a 21 Oe longitudinal magnetic bias field at an 8MHz drive frequency. Transverse permeability measurements were performed by the use of two magnetic field axes of the MH Looper. The permeability behavior of the device reflects the impedance behavior with the external field. Permeability measurements were also performed on NiFe GMI Device with NiFe 600nm/ Cu 1200nm / NiFe 600nm sandwich structure. This sample was not successfully patterned and hence the impedance measurements could not be performed. Correlation of the magnetic properties of the structures was studied with the impedance responses.M.S.E.E.

Les aimants moléculaires de type TbPc2 avec leur anisotropie magnétique élevée associée à des temps de relaxation longs de l’aimantation sont de bons candidats pour le codage et l’enregistrement de l’information. Leur robustesse et leur propension à s’arranger en réseaux se prêtent bien à une étude de leur structure électronique et magnétique par STM/STS à très basse température (4.5 K). Dans ce travail de thèse, il a été possible de mettre en évidence un écrantage Kondo des électrons π et 4f de la molécule de TbPc2 par les électrons du substrat métallique. Les propriétés magnétiques de la molécule dépendent de leur degré d’interaction avec le substrat et des interactions latérales avec les autres molécules. Ainsi le radical π de la molécule est préservé sur Au(111) mais disparait sur Ag(111) sous l’effet d’un transfert de charge entre le substrat et la monocouche moléculaire. Enfin, lorsque la molécule est en interaction forte avec le substrat de Cu(111), un accès direct aux états 4f de l’ion central de Tb est observé par STM comme le montre la détection d’un effet Kondo sur l’ion central de TbWith their large magnetic anisotropy associated with long relaxation times of the magnetization, TbPc2 molecular magnets are good candidates for encoding and recording data. Their robustness and their propensity to arrange into networks lend themselves well to a study of their electronic and magnetic structure by STM/STS at very low temperature (4.5 K). In this thesis work, it was possible to highlight a Kondo screening of the π and 4f electrons of the TbPc2 molecule by the electrons of the metal substrate. The magnetic properties of the molecule depend on their degree of interaction with the substrate and lateral interactions with other molecules. Thus, the π radical of the molecule is preserved on Au (111) but disappears on Ag (111) under the effect of a charge transfer between the substrate and the molecular monolayer. Finally, when the molecule is in strong interaction with the Cu(111) substrate, a direct access to the 4f states of the central Tb ion by STM is possible as shown by the detection of a Kondo effect on the central Tb ion

Cette thèse porte sur l’étude des effets de la lumière sur une jonction tunnel magnétique (JTM). Une JTM est constituée d’une couche isolante d’épaisseur nanométrique située entre deux couches magnétiques. Lorsqu’un courant électrique est injecté dans une telle structure, une tension apparaît. Cette tension dépend de l’orientation relative des aimantations des 2 couches magnétiques : c’est l’effet de magnétorésistance tunnel. Nous avons pu montrer dans ce travail de thèse qu’une observation similaire est obtenue lorsque la jonction est irradiée avec de la lumière. En étudiant l’influence du substrat, de la position du faisceau lumineux, de la longueur d’onde de la lumière ainsi que de la réponse du système a un pulse laser, nous avons pu mettre en évidence la présence d’effets photovoltaïque et Seebeck. Ces résultats montrent qu’il est possible, grâce à la lumière solaire, de lire l’information de mémoires magnétiques (type M-RAM) constituées d’une JTMThis thesis is devoted to the study of the effects of light on a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). A MTJ is made of a nanometer thick insulating layer sandwiched between the two magnetic layers. When an electric current is injected into such a structure, a voltage can be measured across the insulating layer. This voltage depends on the relative orientation of the magnetizations of the two magnetic layers. This is known as the tunnel magneto-resistance effect. We have shown in this thesis that voltage depending on the orientation of the magnetic layers can be measured when the junction is illuminated with light. By studying the influence of the substrate, the position of the light beam, the wave length of light and the response of the system to a laser pulse, we have been able to demonstrate the presence of photovoltaic and Seebeck effects. These results show that it is possible, thanks to the sunlight, to read the information from magnetic memory (MRAM) made of a MTJ

Full textAbstract:
A phenomenological theory of magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) is presented to illustrate the connection between the magnetization and the polarization of light reflection in an isotropic medium. An apparatus measuring the MOKE of magnetic medium was designed and constructed. The surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) of a magnetic multilayer is a measurement of the average magnetization of several layers within the penetration depth of the light.SMOKE measurements on a series of sputtered $ rm Ni sb{80}Co sb{20}15 A$/CU$(t sb{Cu}),$ where $t sb{Cu}$ is the thickness of Cu spacer layer, multilayers confirms that the coupling strength in these multilayers oscillates from antiferromagnetic (AF) coupling to ferromagnetic coupling as a function of Cu spacer layer thickness. Low-angle x-ray diffraction and SMOKE measurements on a series of AF-coupled $ rm (Ni sb{80}Co sb{20}15 A$/Cu20A) $ times$ N multilayers with bilayer numbers N ranging from 8 to 100 shows that cumulative interface roughness increases with increasing N, as do the saturation field and coercivity. This is possibly due to the out-of-plane anisotropy associated with cumulative interface roughness in multilayers.
An AF-coupled $ rm (Ni sb{70}Co sb{30}15 A$/Cu20A) $ times$ 10 was continually annealed up to 400$ sp circ$C in several steps, and the magnetic behaviour of the sample was evaluated as a function of annealing temperatures. $ rm (Ni sb{70}Co sb{30}15 A$/CU20A/Ni$ rm sb{70}Co sb{30} A$/CU20A) $ times$ 5 multilayer was used for investigating the AF coupling between magnetic layers of unequal thicknesses. Finally, an AF-coupled $ rm (Ni sb{70}Co sb{30}15 A$/Cu20A/Ni$ rm sb{70}Co sb{30}15 A$/Cu35A) $ times$ 5 multilayer was sputtered and used to study the magnetization of an AF-coupled multilayer with two different coupling strengthes.

Neste trabalho é investigada a influência de um campo magnético externo alternado no aquecimento, vaporização e combustão de uma gota de ferrofluido (líquido com nanopartículas dispersadas). A resposta das nanopartículas ao campo magnético gera calor no interior da gota devido a relaxação magnética que atua como uma fonte de calor. Este fenômeno é produzido pelo atrito (dissipação viscosa) entre as nanopartículas, com movimento rotatório, e o fluido ao redor das partículas. O movimento de rotação é induzido pelo dipolo magnético fixo em cada nanopartícula, que tende a se alinhar na direção do campo magnético. Na ausência do campo magnético o movimento Browniano das moléculas do líquido é responsável pelo desalinhamento dos dipolos, após colisões com a superfície das nanopartículas. Sob a influência de um campo magnético externo alternado, os processos de alinhamento e desalinhamento são repetido em cada ciclo, produzindo calor por dissipação viscosa devido ao movimento circular periódico e reverso das nanopartículas. Na presente análise, o processo de aquecimento por relaxação magnética, juntamente com o calor do ambiente é estudado. Estes dois mecanismos (aquecimento magnético e fluxo de calor do ambiente gasoso) contribuem para o aquecimento e o aumento da taxa de vaporização da gota de ferrofluido. Assumindo uma alta potência magnética e distribuição uniforme de nanopartículas, o interior da gota é aquecido uniformemente. Porém, uma camada limite térmica é estabelecida na fase líquida adjacente à superfície da gota devido ao fluxo de calor do ambiente. O perfil de temperatura no interior da camada limite térmica é obtido em escalas apropriadas de tempo e espacial. No presente modelo, a gota de ferrofluido é aquecida até sua temperatura de ebulição em um curto intervalo de tempo. Além disso, sob certas condições, a temperatura dentro da camada limite térmica torna-se maior que a temperatura na superfície da gota. Isto leva a gota a atingir a temperatura de ebulição no interior da gota e não na superfície, como descrito pelos modelos clássicos. A diferença de temperatura entre a camada limite térmica e a superfície da gota resulta num fluxo de calor extra para a superfície da gota, resultando num aumento da taxa de vaporização. Além disso, os resultados evidenciam que a camada limite térmica é proporcional ao número de Lewis do oxidante, porém a taxa de vaporização é inversamente proporcional ao número de Lewis.In this work, the influence of an external alternating magnetic field on heating, va-porization and combustion of a ferrofluid (liquid with dispersed magnetic nanoparticles) droplet is investigated. The response of the magnetic nanoparticles to the magnetic field generates heat inside the droplet, due to magneto relaxation, which acts as a heat source. This phenomenon is produced by friction (viscous dissipation) between rotating nanoparticles and the liquid surrounding them. The rotating motion of the nanoparticles is induced by the magnetic dipole fixed on each nanoparticle, which tends to align itself with the magnetic field. In the absence of magnetic field, Brownian motion of the liquid molecules is responsible for misaligning the dipoles, after collisions with the nanoparticle surface. Under the influence of an external alternating magnetic field, the process of aligning and misaligning repeats itself in each cycle, producing heat by viscous dissipation, due to a periodically reversing nanoparticle circular motion. In the present analysis the process of magneto relaxation heating, together with heat transfer from the ambient is studied. These two mechanisms (magnetic heating and heat flux fro the gas-phase) contribute to droplet heating, hence increasing the vaporization rate of ferrofluid droplets. Assuming a very large magnetic power and a uniform distribution of nanoparticles, the droplet core is uniformly heated. A thermal boundary layer is established in the liquid-phase adjacent to the droplet surface due to heat flux from the ambient atmosphere. The temperature profile inside the thermal boundary layer is obtained in appropriate time and length scales. In the present model, the ferrofluid droplet is heated up to its boiling temperature in a very short time. Additionally, under certain conditions the temperature inside the thermal boundary layer can become higher than the temperature at the droplet surface. This leads to boiling occurs inside the droplet rather than at the surface, as in classical models. The temperature difference between the thermal boundary layer and the droplet surface results in an extra heat flux to the droplet surface, which increases the vaporization rate. Moreover, the results point out that the thermal boundary layer depends directly on the oxidant Lewis number but the vaporization rate reciprocally on it.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores preparation and properties of bismuthiron garnet (BIG) films and the incorporation of BIG films intoone-dimensional magneto-optical photonic crystals (MOPCs).
Films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. Weinvestigated or measured crystallinity, morphology,film-substrate interface, cracks, roughness, composition,magnetic coercivity, refractive index and extinctioncoefficient, and magneto-optical Faraday rotation (FR) andellipticity. The investigations were partly performed onselected samples, and partly on two series of films ondifferent substrates and of different thicknesses. BIG filmswere successfully tested for the application of magneto-opticalvisualization. The effect of annealing in oxygen atmosphere wasalso investigated - very careful annealing can increase FR byup to 20%. A smaller number of the above mentionedinvestigations were carried out on yttrium iron garnet (YIG)films as well.
Periodical BIG-YIG multilayers with up to 25 single layerswere designed and prepared with the purpose to enhance FR at aselected wavelength. A central BIG layer was introduced asdefect layer into the MOPC structure and generated resonancesin optical transmittance and FR at a chosen design wavelength.In a 17- layer structure, at the wavelength of 748 nm, FR wasincreased from -2.6 deg/µm to -6.3 deg/µmat a smallreduction in transmittance from 69% to 58% as compared to asingle-layer BIG film of equivalent thickness. In contrast tothick BIG films, the MOPCs did not crack. We were first toreport preparation of all-garnet MOPCs and second toexperimentally demonstrate the MOPC principle inmagneto-optical garnets.

The effect of pressure on a number of magnetically interesting compounds such as single-molecule magnets and dimeric copper and manganese molecules has been investigated to probe the validity of ambient magneto-structural correlations. The first chapter is an introduction to the equipment and methodologies that have been adopted to carry out the experimental high-pressure work. The second chapter reports the first combined high-pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction and high pressure magnetism study of four single-molecule magnets (SMMs). At 1.5 GPa the structures [Mn6O2(Et-sao)6(O2CPh(Me)2)2(EtOH)6] (1) – an SMM with a record effective anisotropy barrier of ~86 K – and [Mn6O2(Etsao) 6(O2C-naphth)2(EtOH)4(H2O)2] (2) both undergo significant structural distortions of their metallic skeletons which has a direct effect upon the observed magnetic response. Up to 1.5 GPa pressure the effect is to flatten the Mn-N-O-Mn torsion angles weakening the magnetic exchange between the metal centres. In both compounds one pairwise interaction switches from ferro- to antiferromagnetic, with the Jahn-Teller (JT) axes compressing (on average) and re-aligning differently with respect to the plane of the three metal centres. High pressure dc χMT plots display a gradual decrease in the low temperature peak value and slope, simulations showing a decrease in |J| with increasing pressure with a second antiferromagnetic J value required to simulate the data. The “ground states” change from S = 12 to S = 11 for 1 and to S = 10 for 2. Magnetisation data for both 1 and 2 suggest a small decrease in |D|, while out-of-phase (χM //) ac data show a large decrease in the effective energy barrier for magnetisation reversal. The third SMM is the complex [Mn3(Hcht)2(bpy)4](ClO4)3·Et2O·2MeCN (3·Et2O·2MeCN) that at 0.16 GPa loses all associated solvent in the crystal lattice, becoming 3. At higher pressures structural distortions occur changing the distances between the metal centres and the bridging oxygen atoms making |J| between the manganese ions weaker. No significant variations are observed in the JT axis of the only MnIII present in the structure. Highpressure dc χMT plots display a gradual decrease in the low temperature peak value and slope. Simulations show a decrease in J with increasing pressure although the ground state is preserved. Magnetisation data do not show any change in |D|. The fourth SMM, [(tacn)6Fe8O2(OH)12](ClO4)3.9Br4.1⋅6H2O, (4) is the largest inorganic compound ever studied at high-pressure. Up to 2.0 GPa the conformation of the complex remains largely unaffected, with the counter ions and water molecules moving around to accommodate a compression of the unit cell volume. High pressure magnetic susceptibility data collected up to 0.93 GPa confirm minimal changes in the intra-molecular exchange interactions. The third chapter focuses on three hydroxo-bridged CuII dimers: [Cu2(OH)2(H2O)2(tmen)2](ClO4)2 (5), [Cu2(OH)2(tben)2](ClO4)2 (6) and [Cu2(OH)2(bpy)2](BF4)2 (7) have been structurally determined up to 2.5, 0.9 and 4.7 GPa, respectively. 6 and 7 have never been reported before. Pressure imposes important distortions in the structures of all three complexes, particularly on the bond distances and angles between the metal centres and the bridging hydroxo groups. 5 undergoes a phase transition between 1.2 and 2.5 GPa caused by the loss of a coordinated water molecule. This leads to a loss of symmetry and dramatic changes in the molecular structure of the complex. The structural changes are manifested in different magnetic behaviours of the complexes as seen in dc susceptibility measurements up to ~0.9 GPa: J becomes less antiferromagnetic in 5 and 6 and more ferromagnetic in 7. The fourth chapter shows the compression of two oxo-bridged MnII/MnIII mixed valence dimers: [Mn2O2(bpy)4](ClO4)3⋅3CH3CN, (8) has been squeezed up to 2.0 GPa whilst [Mn2O2(bpy)4](PF6)3⋅2CH3CN⋅1H2O, (9) could be measured crystallographically up to 4.55 GPa. 9 has never been reported before, while 8 has been reported in a different crystallographic space group. The application of pressure imposes significant alterations in the structures of both complexes. In particular, in 8 the Mn-Mn separation is reduced by the contraction of some of the Mn-O bond distances, 9 shows essentially analogous behaviour: the Mn-Mn distance and nearly all the Mn-N bonds shrink significantly. The magnetic behaviour of the complexes has been measured up to 0.87 GPa for 8 and 0.84 GPa for 9, but neither display any significant differences with respect to their ambient data.

Full textAbstract:
Les capteurs magnéto-électrique (ME) sont une alternative prometteuse pour mesurer de faibles signaux magnétiques. Précédemment le choix était généralement de déposer des couches minces magnétostrictives sur un matériau piézoélectrique massif conduisant à des systèmes macroscopiques de taille milllimétrique. L’intégration de ces systèmes dans des MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) requiertà la fois de résoudre les problèmes d’intégration de matériaux actif sur silicium, et de mesurer des petits signaux étant donné l’importante réduction de la réponse du système lorsqu’il est miniaturisé.Dans cette optique, le premier objectif de ce travail de thèse a été d’intégrer un matériau piézoélectrique sur un substrat de silicium tout en conservant une excellente qualité cristalline. Pb(Zr ₀ , ₅ ₂Ti ₀ ,₄₈)O₃ (PZT) a été retenu pour ces excellente propriétés piézoélectriques. L’intégration de la couche mince ce fait sur silicium qui est le substrat de prédilection pour la fabrication de microsystèmes avec les procédés microélectroniques standards. La qualité cristalline des matériaux actifs est directement corrélée aux couches d'adaptation utilisées pour obtenir une bonne qualité cristalline sur silicium. Pour cel l'intégration d'une tricouche composée de zircone stabilisée à l'yttrium (YSZ), d'oxyde de cérium (CeO₂) et de SrTiO₃ permet ensuitela croissance des pérovskites d'intérêt pour le dispositif. Le choix de l’électrode conductrice inférieure (SrRuO₃ ou La ₀ ,₆₆Sr₀₃₃MnO₃ dans le cas présent) permet de contrôler l’orientation de la maille de PZT.Une première étude des propriétés piézoélectriques de la couche mince de PZT sous la forme d’une poutre libre pour son intégration dans un système magnétoélectrique a été réalisé. La mesure de la déformation de la poutre induite par l'application d'une tension électrique permet d'extraire un coefficient d₃₁ de -53pmV⁻¹, valeur inférieure au matériau massif mais à l'état de l'art dans ce type de dispositif. Dans une seconde étape, l’utilisation de la poutre comme résonateur à été étudiée. L’étude dynamique du système a permis d'obtenir la fréquence de résonance et le facteur de qualité. Le déplacement de la fréquence caractéristique du système en fonction d'une contrainte induite par une tension DC a été investigué. Enfin, l'ajout d'une couche de matériau magnétostrictif (TbFeCo) sur la poutre a finalisé la structure du capteur. Le capteur ainsi obtenu a été caractérisé et une sensibilité d’une dizaine de micro Tesla a été obtenueMagneto-electric (ME) sensors have been demonstrated as a promising alternative for the detection of weak magnetic signals with high sensitivity. To date, most applications focused on the use of bulk piezoelectric materials on which magnetostrictive thin films are deposited leading to millimeter-sized devices. The integration of such devices into micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bringing smaller size and lower power consumption, involves addressing several scientific issues ranging from the integration of active materials on silicon to the strong reduction in amplitude of generated signals related to the size reduction of the sensor.In this context, the first goal of this thesis work was to integrate high crystalline quality piezoelectric thin films on silicon.Pb(Zr ₓTi ₁ ₋₁)O₃ (PZT) with a morphotropic composition (x=0.52) having high electromechanical coupling factor was chosen. Silicon is a necessary template as it allows for the use of conventional clean room processes for the realization of the microsystem. The crystalline quality of the active films is directly linked to the buffer layers that promote the crystalline growth on silicon. For this purpose, Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) was used in combination with CeO₂ and SrTiO₃ to allow further growth of epitaxial perovskites. The choice of the bottom electrode material (SrRuO₃ or La ₀ ,₆₆Sr₀₃₃MnO₃ in this work) further tunes the crystalline orientation of the PZT layer.To probe the potential of such PZT thin films for ME devices, the first step was to characterize the electromechanical properties of this material in a free standing cantilever structure. Under an applied electric field, the measured displacement of the epitaxial PZT-based cantilevers is characterized by a coefficient d₃₁ =-53pmV⁻¹ , a reduced value with respect to the bulk material but that can be enhanced by further optimizing the film growth. The second step consists in ascertaining the ability of the cantilever to be used as resonator. For that purpose, first characterizations of oscillators have been performed to extract the resonant frequencies and the associated quality factors. Then, the resonant frequency shift with DC bias-induced stress was measured. Finally, a magnetostrictive layer of TbFeCo was added on the PZT cantilevers to sense magnetic field based on the ME effect. The resulting resonant frequency shift with external applied magnetic field was characterized with a typical sensitivity of 10’s of µT

Full textAbstract:
For the past 50 years, the magnetic storage industry has been the ultimate provider, covering the ever-expanding needs of digital mass storage. Up to now, scaling to smaller dimensions has been the core approach for achieving higher areal densities in conventional media. However, recent studies have shown that further miniaturisation is physically bound by superparamagnetic effects. Bit patterned media (BPM) is one of the most promising solutions for extending the areal densities beyond 1Tbit/in². The ability to magnetically characterise novel BPM is a key requirement for its future commercialisation. The work presented in this thesis describes the investigation of the Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE) and the Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) techniques, used in the characterisation of BPM samples. These samples were produced as part of this work using a customised subtractive fabrication process. Continuous thin magnetic films with Ptseed(10nm)/[Co(0.4nm)/Pt(1nm)]x15 composition and perpendicular anisotropy, were deposited using electron-beam (e-beam) evaporation, and subsequently patterned into magnetic nano-islands through means of e-beam lithography and Ar⁺ ion milling. In terms of the MOKE technique, a fully customised polar MOKE system has been developed and successfully used to observe the hysteretic behaviour of magnetic nano-island arrays with varying dimensions. An expected reduction in the MOKE signal due to pattering has been observed, as well as an additional signal reduction due to the scattering effect arising from the non-vertical sidewalls of the dome-shaped islands. In the case of islands with improved shape profile, the magnetic reversal of BPM arrays with islands sizes down to 35nm has been successfully detected, demonstrating a sensitivity of approximately 6x10⁻¹³emu for the MOKE system. In terms of the AHE technique, Au Hall crosses were deposited on top of the BPM arrays that had been previously characterised by MOKE, allowing the direct comparison and cross-verification of the results obtained by the two techniques. A revised Hall cross design, where the Hall crosses were generated by direct patterning of the Pt seed layer, has provided a significant improvement in AHE signal. This has allowed the detection of the magnetic reversal of individual sub-50nm magnetic islands, demonstrating a sensitivity of approximately 6.6x10⁻¹⁵emu for the AHE technique. The spatial sensitivity of these Hall cross structures has been experimentally determined, indicating a decrease in sensitivity with increasing distance from the cross centre and with decreasing island diameter. In conclusion, the sensitivity profile of Hall cross structures must be taken into account for the accurate interpretation of BPM characterisation results obtained by the AHE technique. Finally, some suggestions are outlined with regard to the future improvement of the developed characterisation techniques and the further continuation of the work presented in this thesis.
