Organisation et ségrégation lors de la formation de nanoalliages d'AgCo étudiés par diffusion aux petits et aux grands angles et effet anomal / Organization and segregation during the growth of AgCo nanoalloys studied by small and wide angle scattering and anomalous effect

Lemoine, Asseline 17 December 2015 (has links)
Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif d'étudier les rôles de la taille, de la composition et de la cinétique de croissance sur la morphologie, la structure, et l'état de mélange de l'argent et du cobalt dans des nanoparticules bimétalliques supportées AgCo. Dans ce but, des mesures in-situ et en temps réel par diffusion des rayons X aux petits et aux grands angles en géométrie d'incidence rasante, et en condition anomale, ont été effectuées au cours de la croissance des nanoparticules AgCo dans des conditions de dépôt simultané ou successif des métaux. Des recuits ont ensuite été réalisés afin d'étudier la stabilité des structures obtenues à température ambiante, et d'observer d'éventuelles transitions activées thermiquement. Pour l'ensemble des modes de dépôt, les nanoparticules (dans une gamme de taille comprise entre 2 et 7nm) présentent une configuration chimique ségrégée. Pour des dépôts successifs de Co puis d'Ag, les nanoparticules sont constituées d'un (ou plusieurs) domaine(s) d'Ag juxtaposé(s) à un domaine de Co, tandis que pour un dépôt d'Ag puis de Co les particules présentent une configuration de type coeur-coquille (Co-Ag). Pour les dépôts simultanés, la configuration cœur-coquille est obtenue à très faible composition en Ag (< ou =20%), au-delà la configuration multidomaines monométalliques est observée. Quelle que soit la configuration initiale, le recuit conduit à une séparation de phase des métaux sous forme de particules Janus et à des réorganisations structurales. / The aim of this work is to study the role of size, composition and growth kinetic conditions on the morphology, the structure and the chemical configuration of AgCo bimetallic supported nanoparticles. Thus, in-situ and in real-time anomalous grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering measurements were performed during AgCo nanoparticles growth. Two types of growth conditions were studied : simultaneous or successive deposition of the two metals. Samples were also annealed to study the stability of the structures observed at room temperature, and to investigate if structural transitions occur due to thermal activation. For all kind of deposition modes, the nanoparticles (in a size range between 2 and 7 nm) exhibit a segregated chemical configuration. For the deposition of Co followed by Ag deposition, the nanoparticles are constituted of one (or several) Ag domain(s) juxtaposed with a Co domain, whereas for Ag deposition followed by Co deposition, the nanoparticles present a (Co-Ag) core-shell configuration. For simultaneous depositions and Ag poor compositions (< or =20%), the core-shell configuration is obtained. For richer compositions, the multidomain configuration is observed. Whatever the initial configuration, annealing leads to a phase separation of the two metals towards Janus particles and some structural reorganizations occur.

Kolloidale Nanosysteme aus magnetischen und metallischen Materialien : Synthese und Charakterisierung

Sobal, Neli January 2003 (has links)
Ein Spezialgebiet der modernen Mikroelektronik ist die Miniaturisierung und Entwicklung von neuen nanostrukturierten und Komposit-Materialen aus 3d-Metallen. Durch geeignete Zusammensetzungen können diese sowohl mit einer hohen Sättigungsmagnetisierung und Koerzitivfeldstärke als mit besserer Oxidationsbeständigkeit im Vergleich zu den reinen Elementen erzielt werden.<br /> <br /> In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden neue Methoden für die Herstellung von bimetallischen kolloidalen Nanopartikeln vor allem mit einer Kern-Hülle-Struktur (Kern@Hülle) präsentiert. Bei der überwiegenden Zahl der vorgestellten Reaktionen handelt es sich um die thermische Zersetzung von metallorganischen Verbindungen wie Kobaltcarbonyl, Palladium- und Platinacetylacetonate oder die chemische Reduktion von Metallsalze mit langkettigem Alkohol in organischem Lösungsmittel. Daneben sind auch Kombinationen aus diesen beiden Verfahren beschrieben. Es wurden Kolloide aus einem reinen Edelmetall (Pt, Pd, Ag) in einem organischen Lösungsmittel synthetisiert und daraus neue, bisher in dieser Form nicht bekannte Ag@Co-, Pt@Co-, Pd@Co- und Pt@Pd@Co-Nanopartikel gewonnen.<br /> <br /> Der Kobaltgehalt der Ag@Co-, Teilchen konnte im Bereich von 5 bis 73 At. % beliebig eingestellt werden. Der mittlere Durchmesser der Ag@Co-Partikel wurde von 5 nm bis 15 nm variiert. Bei der Herstellung von Pt@Co-Teilchen wurde eine unterschiedlich dicke Kobalt-Hülle von ca. 1,0 bis 2,5 nm erzielt. Im Fall des Palladiums wurden sowohl monodispere als auch polydisperse Pd-Nanopartikel mit einer maximal 1,7-2,0nm dicken Kobalthülle synthetisiert.<br /> <br /> Ein großer Teil dieser Arbeit befasst sich mit den magnetischen Eigenschaften der kolloidalen Teilchen, wobei die SQUID-Magnetometrie und Röntgenzirkulardichroismus (XMCD) dafür eingesetzt wurden. Weil magnetische Messungen alleine nur indirekte Schlüsse über die untersuchten Systeme erlauben, wurde dabei besonderer Wert auf die möglichst genaue strukturelle Charakterisierung der Proben mittels moderner Untersuchungsmethoden gelegt. Röntgendiffraktometrie (XRD), Röntgenabsorptionsfeinstruktur- (EXAFS) und UV-Vis-Spektroskopie sowie Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) in Kombination mit Elektronen Energieverlustspektroskopie (EELS) und energiedispersive Röntgenfluoreszensanalyse (EDX) wurden verwendet. / Magnetic colloidal particles are attractive because of their possible application to ultra-high-density magnetic data storage media, sensors, electronic devices and medical diagnostics. The properties of small particles depend on their composition, shape, and method of preparation. The combination of 3d-metals (Fe, Co, Ni) with noble metals improves the stability of the colloids and leads to new properties of the magnetic systems, often distinct from those of the corresponding monometallic particles. Core-shell particles, where dia- or paramagnetic noble metal-cores are surrounded by a ferromagnetic Co-shell, are an interesting system to study surface and interfacial magnetism such as an induced polarization or a giant magnetoresistance effect. <br /> <br /> In this work, new synthetic routes for the preparation of monometallic (Pt, Pd, Ag) and bimetallic magnetic nanocrystals (Ag@Co, Pt@Co, Pd@Co) with core-shell structure are presented. Stable colloids with a narrow particle size distribution were obtained in organic solvents using methods of wet chemistry. The method of preparation of Ag@Co is based on the thermal decomposition of dicobalt octycarbonyl in combination with a transmetalation reaction with water free AgClO4. The cobalt amount in the Ag@Co system could be tuned from 5 to 73 at. %. The average diameter of the particles was varied from 5 to 15 nm. <br /> <br /> The reduction of platinum and palladium salts in organic solution using long chained alcohol as the reductant leads to stable metal nanostructures. Monodisperse Pd and Pt particles with average sizes of 1.7 to 7.0 nm were synthesized via thermal decomposition of metal-surfactant complexes too. Alkylamines and alkylphosphines were used in this procedure. The thickness of the Co-shell was controlled by a simple high-temperature thermolysis of dicobalt octacarbonyl at the presence of Pd and Pt seeds and was tunable from 0.5 to 2.5 nm. <br /> <br /> The crystalline structure of the samples was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), UV-VIS and electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). SQUID magnetometry, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements gave information about the magnetic properties of the bimetallic systems and revealed their dependency on the particle size and the chemical composition. A high spin to orbital moments ratio µL/µS of 0.26±0.06 for Ag@Co and 0.22±0.05 for Pt@Co nanocrystals was observed at XMCD measurements due to the lowered dimensionality the investigated systems.

Rapid development of mobile apps using App Inventor and AGCO API

Kepley, Spencer January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering / Naiqian Zhang / Mobile apps are useful tools for many different purposes. In agriculture, apps can be used to check the weather and markets, control irrigation, and monitor machine activity among other uses. This research project is a collaboration between Kansas State University and AGCO and includes the development of two apps, using MIT Application Inventor and Google App Engine. Kansas State University was responsible for developing the apps user interface and functionality while AGCO provide the data needs for the apps through Google App Engine. The first app is called Crop Maturity App and measures Growing Degree Days from a crops planting date. The second app is called Combine Efficiency App and determines the performance of a combine harvesting based on its speed. AGCO provided the server support for these apps from a weather service and their own combines that are connected. This project demonstrates the possibility of an open-source development environment with AGCO machine data.
