Lee, Dok Won. "Structural and magnetic properties of copperiron multilayers." Thesis, McGill University, 1997. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=20264.
Full textThe magnetic transition from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism with decreasing tFe was confirmed by conversion-electron Mossbauer spectroscopy (CEMS), vibrating sample magnetometry, and magnetotransport measurements. The monotonic decrease in the average hyperfine field with t Fe indicates that the transition is a gradual process as t Fe decreases from 34 A down to 7 A. The isomer shift of the singlets in the CEM spectra suggests the presence of fcc Fe, while the observed doublet is assigned to the Cu-Fe alloy phase at the interfaces.
The variation of magnetoresistance (MR) with t Cu indicates that for a nominal t Fe of 20 A the multilayer has a well-defined superlattice structure, whereas multilayers with nominal tFe, of 5 A have a granular-alloy-like structure. AC susceptometry provided direct evidence for island formation for nominal tFe = 5 A by exhibiting the blocking characteristics of superparamagnets. The temperature-dependence of the magnetization suggests that for nominal tFe = 5 A, 75% of the Fe atoms are in the superparamagnetic bcc phase, leaving the remaining 25% in the Cu-Fe alloy and fcc Fe phases.
The observed magnetic transition is likely due to superparamagnetic relaxation rather than a structural transition from bcc Fe to fcc Fe as t Fe decreases below a critical thickness tC at which a multilayer structure becomes an island structure.

Full textStructural characterization by grazing-angle X-ray reflectivity reveals high-quality layered structures with a well-defined composition modulation along the film growth direction. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction scans display the polycrystalline nature of the Ni/Co multilayers which grow in an FCC phase with a preferred (111) orientation and a fraction of (200) structural domains.
Measurements of the magnetotransport properties of these multilayers indicate that the magnetoresistance (MR) effect, $ Delta rho sim0.35 mu Omega cdot$cm, is roughly constant over the entire compositional range. The MR ratio $ Delta rho/ rho,$ which is as high as 3.0% in a Si/(Ni40A/Co5A) $ times$ 6 multilayer, is therefore more strongly dependent on the zero-field resistivity $ rho.$ By fitting a semi-classical model to the resistivity compositional variation, we determined the interface contribution to the resistivity. The MR measurements as well as the magnetic anisotropy of the films, studied by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) magnetometry, are consistent with the origin of the observed MR effect being anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). The highest magnetic sensitivity measured at zero-field and constant in the range from ${ sim}{-}10$ Oe to +10 Oe was 0.1%/Oe. This value compares well with other alloys being developed as magnetic sensors. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textIt is observed that there is a linear increase in the values of the susceptibility, resistivity, and superconducting transition temperature of the system from CuZr$ sb2$ to NiZr$ sb2.$ This is attributed to an increase of the electronic density of states as the concentration of Ni increases. There is little or no influence on transport properties due to topological short range order.

Full textHydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) is a semiconducting material that is very useful as a thin film photovoltaic. A mixture of amorphous and crystalline silicon components, nc-Si:H shows good carrier mobilities, enhanced infrared response, and high resilience to light-induced degradation of its electronic properties, a thermally reversible degenerative phenomenon known as the Staebler-Wronski Effect (SWE). However, production of nc-Si:H is difficult in part because the structural and electronic properties of this material are not well understood. For example, its electronic properties have even been observed by some authors to improve upon prolonged light exposure, in direct opposition to the SWE observed in purely amorphous thin film silicon. We used several junction capacitance based measurements together with characterization methods such as Raman spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy to better understand the structure/function relationships present in nc-Si:H. Drive level capacitance profiling (DLCP) was used to determine densities, spatial distributions, and energies of deep-gap defects. Transient photocapacitance (TPC) and transient photocurrent (TPI) were used to characterize optical transitions and the degree of minority carrier collection. Materials had crystallite volume fractions between 20% and 80% and were deposited using RF and modified VHF glow discharge (PECVD) processes at United Solar Ovonic, LLC. Measurements were made as a function of metastable state: annealed states were produced by exposing the material to temperatures above 370K for 0.5h and the lightsoaked state was produced by exposure to 200mW/cm 2 610nm long-pass filtered light from an ELH halogen source for 100h. We identified two deep defects in nc-Si:H. A primary defect appearing throughout the material at an electronic transition energy of roughly 0.7eV below the conduction band, and a second defect 0.4eV below the conduction band which was localized near the p/i junction interface. Results suggested that the deeper defect is related to the presence of oxygen and is located in grain boundary regions. The energy depth of this defect appears also to be somewhat dependent on metastable state. This phenomenon, and the universal decrease in minority carrier collection upon lightsoaking are accounted for in a model of electronic behavior we have developed over the course of this study.

Full textTransition metal oxides (TMOs) with face centered cubic arrangement of magnetic ions are composed of triangular sub-lattices. When antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions of the same strengths between all three pathways in triangular settings are in place, spin constraints cannot be fulfilled simultaneously and the system undergoes geometric magnetic frustration (GMF). The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to better understand the criteria for a system to undergo GMF. To achieve this, the novel B-site ordered double perovskites Ca2ScOsO6 and Ca2.2Mg0.8OsO6 were synthesized in polycrystalline form utilizing the conventional solid-state method. The crystal structure of these compounds were characterized through X-ray diffraction, and magnetic properties were explored through magnetic susceptibility measurements. Employing the spin-dimer analysis method, relative magnetic exchange interactions were calculated and modeled. These novel osmium-based B-site ordered double perovskites were then compared to isostructural compounds to study the effects of the osmium oxidation state on crystal structure and the exhibited properties.

Understanding the “incomprehensible” world of materials is the biggest challenge to the materials science community. To access the properties of the materials and to utilize them for positive changes in the world are of great interest. Often scientists use approximate theories to get legitimate answers to the problems. Density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as one of the successful and powerful predictive methods in this regard. The accuracy of DFT relies on the approximate form of the exchange-correlation (EXC) functional. The most complicated form of this functional can be as accurate as more complicated and computationally robust method like Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), Random Phase Approximation (RPA). Two newest meta-GGAs, SCAN and SCAN+rVV10 are among those functionals. Instantaneous charge fluctuation between any two objects gives rise to the van der Waals (vdW) interactions (often termed as dispersion interactions). It is a purely correlation effect of the interacting electrons and thus non-local in nature. Despite its small magnitude it plays a very important role in many systems such as weakly bound rare-gas dimers, molecular crystals, and molecule-surface interaction. The traditional semi-local functionals can not describe the non-local of vdW interactions; only short- and intermediate-range of the vdW are accounted for in these functionals. In this thesis we investigate the effect of the weak vdW interactions in surface properties, rare-gas dimers and how it can be captured seamlessly within the semi-local density functional approximation. We have used summed-up vdW series within the spherical-shell approximation to develop a new vdW correction to the meta-GGA-MS2 functional. This method has been utilized to calculate binding energy and equilibrium binding distance of different homo- and hetero-dimers and we found that this method systematically improves the MGGA-MS2 results with a very good agreement with the experimental data. The binding energy curves are plotted using this MGGA-MS2, MGGA-MS2-vdW and two other popular vdW-corrected functionals PBE-D2, vdW-DF2. From these plots it is clear that our summed-up vdW series captures the long-range part of the binding energy curve via C6, C8, and, C10 coefficients. The clean metallic surface properties such as surface energy, work functions are important and often play a crucial role in many catalytic reactions. The weak dispersion interactions present between the surfaces has significant effect on these properties. We used LDA, PBE, PBSEsol, SCAN and SCAN+rVV10 to compute the clean metallic surface properties. The SCAN+rVV10 seamlessly captures different ranges of the vdW interactions at the surface and predicts very accurate values of surface energy ( ) , and work function (𝞥) and inter-layer relaxations (𝞭%). Our conclusion is adding non-local vdW correction to a good semi-local density functional such as SCAN is necessary in order to predict the weak attractive vdW forces at the metallic surface. The SCAN+rVV10 has also been employed to study the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on 1T-MoS2. We have chosen as a descriptor differential Gibbs free energy (𝚫 GH ) to understand the underlying mechanism of this catalytic reaction. Density functional theory calculations agree with the experimental findings. In the case of layered materials like 1T-MoS2, vdW interactions play an important role in hydrogen binding, that SCAN+rVV10 calculation was able to describe precisely. We have also used SCAN and SCAN+rVV10 functionals to understand bonding of CO on (111) metal surfaces, where many approximations to DFT fail to predict correct adsorption site and adsorption energy. In this case SCAN and SCAN+rVV10 do not show systematic improvements compared to LDA or PBE, rather, both SCAN and SCAN+rVV10 overbind CO more compared to PBE but less compared to the LDA. This overbinding of CO is associated with the incorrect charge transfer from metal to molecule and presumably comes from the density-driven self-interaction error of the functionals. In this thesis we assessed different semi-local functionals to investigate molecule surface systems of 𝞹-conjugated molecules (thiophene, pyridine) adsorbed on Cu(111), Cu(110), Cu(100) surfaces. We find the binding mechanism of these molecules on the metallic surface is mediated by short and intermediate range vdW interactions. Calculated values of binding energies and adsorbed geometries imply that this kind of adsorption falls in the weak chemisorption regime. Structural phase transitions due to applied pressure are very important in materials science. However, pressure induced structural phase transition in early lanthanide elements such as Ce are considered as abnormal first order phase transition. The Ce 𝝰-to-𝝲 isostructural phase transition is one of them. The volume collapse and change of magnetic properties associated with this transition are mediated by the localized f-electron. Semi-local density functionals like LDA, GGA delocalize this f-electron due to the inherent self-interaction error (SIE) of these functionals. We have tested the SCAN functional for this particular problem, and, it was found that the spin-orbit coupling calculations with SCAN not only predicts the correct magnetic ordering of the two phases, but also gives a correct minima for the high-pressure 𝝰-Ce phase and a shoulder for the low-pressure 𝝲-Ce phase.

Full textThe difficulty of handling the glass in open air was overcome by using vacuum tube to melt the sample and glove box with Ar gas to handle the glass. It is found that the handling of the samples, i.e. avoiding exposure to moisture is critical to maintaining sample quality.
For the structural studies, glasses of $ rm Ca sb{0.4}Na sb{0.6}(NO sb3) sb{1.4}, Ca sb{0.4}Rb sb{0.6}(NO sb3) sb{1.4}$ and $ rm Mg sb{0.4}K sb{0.6}(NO sb3) sb{1.4}$ were also prepared for comparison with the $ rm Ca sb{x}K sb{1-x}(NO sb3) sb{1+x}$ glasses. The same structural model applied to all of them with similar agreement.
For the DSC studies, only the $ rm Ca sb{x}K sb{1-x}(NO sb3) sb{1+x}$ glasses were used. The relation between increase of glass transition temperature $T sb{g}$ and that of divalent cation concentration is linear. It was observed that unlike the metallic glass system, the crystallization activation energies do not change with the glass composition. We also observed the irreversible relaxation effect in this glass system and the effect of supercooling in the DSC to form the glass.

Full textIt is found that irreversible relaxation proceeds by many local shear-type motions involving the metal atoms, and that it is accompanied by a small densification. Reversible relaxation at high annealing temperatures entails the same microscopic processes, but it does not change the density of the glass. The type of atomic processes changes continuously as the annealing temperature is lowered, and at sufficiently low temperatures the distribution of metal atoms remains constant, so that reversible relaxation then proceeds via rearrangement of the metalloid atoms. This rearrangement leads to more ordered, but less isotropic atomic sites.
The second part of the thesis is concerned with the motion of the atoms in a metallic glass below and above the glass transition. Mossbauer spectroscopy allows the direct measurement of vibrational and diffusional motion. The increase of the amplitude of atomic vibration has the same temperature dependence as the increase in volume that marks the glass transition, thus the two processes are governed by the same mechanism. The directly measured diffusional motion is in agreement with macroscopic measurements of diffusion.

Full textIrreversible structural relaxation leads to densification and enthalpy release. Shear-like atomic motion enhances local atomic order, highlighting the atomic processes during the irreversible relaxation. Reversible structural relaxation involves two partly overlapping processes initiated at different temperatures, which are characterized by the solid and liquid atomic mobilities, respectively. Interatomic positional exchanges between Cu and Ni atoms change the local structure and are active during the reversible relaxation at low temperatures, which are also partly responsible for the irreversible relaxation. Above 500 K, shear-like atomic movements characterize the reversible relaxation, involving all three atomic species in a length scale of a few near-neighbor atomic shells. The overall density is unchanged during reversible relaxation.
The strong compositional dependence of the glass transition in the ternary glasses indicates an intimate association of the glass transition with interatomic bondings among different atomic species. The atomic motion from room temperature up to above the glass transition temperature, measured by the Mossbauer spectroscopy, is macroscopically tracked by the volume expansion and the enthalpy evolution. The glass transition occurs when the length scale of the atomic motion expands so rapidly that the interatomic potential can no longer maintain the on-site atomic vibration. The rapid development of translational atomic motion upon approaching the glass transition is reflected by the dramatic enhancement of the diffusive atomic motion.
