Les molécules-aimants sont des complexes moléculaires contenant des ions des métaux de transition ou des lanthanides capables de présenter le phénomène de blocage de l’aimantation en dessous d’une température de blocage Tb. Ce blocage est dû à la présence d’une barrière d’énergie de réorientation de leur aimantation à cause de la présence d’une anisotropie magnétique uniaxiale qui conduit à la présence de deux états stables de l’aimantation.Ces deux états stables sont adressables avec un champ magnétique extérieur. Il est donc,théoriquement, envisageable d’utiliser ces molécules comme unités de base pour le stockage « classique » de l’information.Néanmoins, à cause de la nature quantique des molécules, une relaxation entre les deux états de l’aimantation a lieu à basse température par effet tunnel à travers la barrière d’énergie. Cet effet tunnel a plusieurs causes dont une correspondant à une légère déviation de l’anisotropie magnétique de la situation strictement axiale. Cet effet annule le caractère bistable (classique) des molécules les rendant inutilisables comme bits classiques pour le stockage de l’information. Mais, la présence de l’effet tunnel conduit à une situation particulière à basse température où deux niveaux sont présents séparés par une énergie liée au caractère non axiale (rhombique) de l’aimantation (cas où le spin est entier). Un système à deux niveaux est appelé bit quantique(qubit) et constitue l’unité de base pour la construction d’ordinateurs quantiques si plusieurs conditions sont réunies.Ainsi, pour concevoir des bits classiques ou quantiques, il est indispensable comprendre au niveau microscopique la nature de l’anisotropie magnétique et les facteurs qui l’influencent.Ce travail de thèse est consacré à l’étude théorique de la nature de l’anisotropie magnétique dans des complexes mononucléaires et binucléaires de Ni(II) (S = 1)et de Co(II) (S = 3/2). Des calculs de type ab initio, basés sur la théorie de la fonction d’onde,qui permettent d’extraire les paramètres de l’hamiltonien de spin de l’anisotropie magnétique ont été effectués. Des calculs sur des objets modèles et molécules réelles qui permettent de séparer l’effet des différents paramètres structuraux et électroniques des ligands sur la nature et l’amplitude de l’anisotropie magnétique ont aussi été réalisés.La comparaison entre les calculs sur des complexes modèles et sur des complexes réels permet de rationaliser les propriétés magnétiques des complexes réels et surtout de proposer des stratégies pour la synthèse de nouveaux complexes avec les propriétés souhaitées. L’étude de complexes binucléaires qui peuvent être considérés comme la première étape pour la conception de porte logique quantique a été réalisée. Les calculs sur les complexes binucléaires sont réalisés en fragmentant les molécules en deux espèces mononucléaires. Pour les complexes binucléaires de Ni(II) et Co(II), des calculs de type Density Functional Theory (DFT) pour évaluer l’amplitude et la nature de l’interaction d’échange ont été menés. Pour étudier l’influence d’une perturbation extérieure sur les propriétés magnétiques, l’influence d’un champ électrique placé parallèle et perpendiculaire à l’axe de facile aimantation d’un complexe de Ni(II) a été étudiée. Le champ électrique peut influencer les propriétés d’anisotropie de manière importante ouvrant la possibilité à la manipulation des molécules par cette perturbation. / Single molecule magnets are molecular complexes containing transition metal or lanthanides ions which are able to block their magnetization below a certain blocking temperature Tb. This blocking is caused by an energy barrier separating the two orientations of magnetization leading to two stable magnetization states. These two states can be controlled by an external magnetic field.Therefore, it is theoretically possible to use these molecules as bits which are able to store“classical” information. However, due to the quantum nature of these molecules, the relaxation of magnetization can exist even at low temperatures. This phenomenon is called the quantum tunneling effect and prevents the bistable (classical) behavior of the magnetic properties, as well as their use as classical bits for data strorage.Yet, the quantum tunneling of the magnetization also leads to a particular situation at a low temperature where two levels are separated by an energy related to the non-axial character(rhombic) of the magnetization (when the spinis an integer). Such two-levels system could be used as a quantum bit (qbit) which is the basic unit for quantum information processing. Thus,the design of classical or quantum bits require a precise understanding of magnetic properties and their origin at a microscopic level.The Ph.D work was devoted to the theoretical study of the magnetic anisotropy in mononuclear and binuclear Ni(II) (S=1) and Co(II) (S=3/2) complexes. Ab initio calculations based on the wave function theory were carried out and the spin Hamiltonian parameters were extracted. Model complexes were used to investigate the structural and electronic parameters causing magnetic anisotropy.Calculations were, also, performed on complexes synthesized in the laboratory.Comparison between real and model complexes allowed rationalizing the magnetic properties and imagining new synthesis strategies leading to the desired magnetic properties. Binuclear complexes that can be considered as double qbits and used to build quantum logic gates were also investigated. The calculations were performed by fragmenting the binuclear complexes into two mononuclear units in order to study the local anisotropy of each metal ion.The exchange interaction was investigated using Density Functional theory (DFT). In order to study the influence of an external perturbation on magnetic properties, the magnetic properties of a mononuclear Co(II) complex under an external electric field applied parallel or perpendicular to the axis of easy magnetization were calculated. The application of an electric field can lead to important modifications of magnetic properties. Thereby, offering the possibility to the manipulation of these molecules by external electric fields.

The controlled assembly of molecular building blocks is an emerging strategy that allows for the preparation of materials with tailor-made properties. This involves the precise combination of molecular subunits that interact with one another via specifically designed reactive sites. Such a strategy has produced materials exhibiting remarkable properties, including those based on metal-organic frameworks and single-molecule magnets. The present Thesis aims to highlight how such metal-organic assemblies can be engineered at the molecular level to promote certain desired functionalities. Specifically, Chapter 2 will focus on the confinement effects of a crystalline sponge on a ferrocene-based guest molecule that is nanostructured within the porous cavities of a host material. In doing so, we evaluate how one can exert some level of control over the binding sites of the guest molecule, through the addition of electron-withdrawing groups, as well as tuning the physical properties of the guest itself through molecular encapsulation. Notably, we demonstrate a distinct change in the dynamic rotational motion of the ferrocene molecules once confined within the crystalline sponge. In Chapter 3, we investigate the generation of slow relaxation of the magnetization from a Co(II)-based metal-organic framework. We compare this to a closely related 2D Co(II) sheet network, and how slight changes in the crystal field, probed through computational methods, can impact the magnetic behaviour. This type of study may be particularly beneficial in the optimization of single-ion magnets, by sequestering metal centres in select chemical environments, and minimizing molecular vibrations that may offer alternative magnetic relaxation pathways. We extend these principles in Chapter 4, through the use of a nitrogen-rich ligand that acts as a scaffold for Ln(III) ions, thereby yielding 0D and 1D architectures. The coordination chemistry of Ln(III) ions with N-donor ligands remains scarce, especially when evaluated from a magnetic perspective, and therefore, we sought to determine the magnetic behaviour of such compounds. The monomeric unit displays clear single-molecule magnet behaviour with an energetic barrier for the reversal of the magnetization, while the 1D chain displays weaker magnetic characteristics. Nevertheless, such compounds incorporating nitrogen-rich ligands offer much promise in the design of environmentally-friendly energetic materials. In Chapter 5, we take a look at different two different systems that involve the formation of radical species. On one hand, we can promote enhanced magnetic communication between Ln(III) ions, which is typically quite challenging to achieve given the buried nature of the 4f orbitals, and on the other hand, we rely on a redox-active ligand to design stimuli-responsive metal-organic assemblies. The latter case provides access to “smart” molecular materials that can respond to changes in their environment. Here, a multi-stimuli responsive nanobarrel was studied, which displayed sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, heat and chemical reduction. Lastly, Chapter 6 provides a new method for the systematic generation of cationic frameworks, termed Asymmetric Ligand Exchange (ALE). This strategy focuses on the replacement of linear dicarboxylates with asymmetric linkers that features one less negative charge, in order to tune the ionicity of porous frameworks. This allows for the retention of the structural topology and chemical reactivity of the original framework, representing distinct advantages over other similar strategies. Methods to retain permanent porosity in such cationic frameworks are also proposed. Altogether, these studies highlight how the directed assembly of ordered networks can generate varied properties of high scientific interest.

Magnetic data storing has been of great interest since 1950 when the first magnetic hard drive was fabricated. A lot has happened since then, but there is still a need for smaller and cheaper devices.  One way to achieve this is by creating nano-sized ferromagnetic areas in a thin film at room temperature, or nano-magnets. In this thesis, the aim is to fabricate and characterize novel amorphous nano-magnets. Using a chromium mask ions can be implanted in a nano-sized pattern in an amorphous iron zirconium thin film. The mask is fabricated by depositing chromium over the iron zirconium and etching the nano-structures into the chromium film.  This requires the parameters for the etching to be optimized. It is discovered the parameters change with the size and shape of the pattern. Magnetization and structural characterization were performed by using the magneto-optical Kerr effect and a magnetic force microscope. The result shows that the nano-magnets become magnetically harder than the reference sample. The study further reveals structural details for further improvements in implanted regions. / <p>Opponent: Stivan Sabir</p>

For a long time voltage spikes has been seen in measurement data from accelerator magnets during current ramps. These has been believed to be caused by movements, but has never before been studied in depth. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to prove, or disprove, that these events are caused by movements and to analyse what kind of displacements that actually occur. Measurement data from coil voltage, magnetic pick-up coils and current during transients has been acquired and analysed for the Nb3Sn-dipole magnets FRESCA2 and 11T models—named MBHSP107 and MBHSP109. The measurement data is compared to movement simulations that was done with the ROXIE-program, which is used to calculate mutual inductance change for a number of different movement types. The study strongly suggests that the transients are caused by movements, and also indicates that the maximal length of a single slip-stick motion can be up to around 10 micrometers, mostly in the direction of the magnet’s internal forces. The study has proven that transients in measurement data occur due to coil movements, and that these can be quantified—a discovery that can possibly affect future construction and design of accelerator magnets.

Following the trends to diminish the fossil fuel energy production new technologies known for their renewable sources have become a signficant option for helping combat climate change and handle the current oil prices. These new technologies base their power production on already established physical principles that convert mechanical power to electrical power. Generators are the fundamental piece of machinery for electricity production. Among the various types of generators that exist, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) are commonly used for renewable electricity production. At present, the most used magnets for PMSGs are alloys of neodymium, iron, and boron which form a tetragonal crystalline structure known as Neodymium magnets (NdFeB). These types of magnets contain rare-earth materials, which makes them highly non-sustainable materials. Research to find new magnet compositions to substitute rare earth magnets or to reduce the weight and increase the efficiency of PMSGs is currently being studied. One option is to use Alnico magnets. This thesis project explores this option. With the help of a finite element analysis (FEA) software (COMSOL Multiphysics), three types of Alnico grades 5, 8 and 9 were implemented in the rotor of a spoke type generator to study the load limits of the rotor magnets, and together with this observe the demagnetization and impact that it has on the power production of the generator, in two different scenarios: 1) When the generator is connected to a nominal load under normal conditions and 2) when the generator is connected to a nominal load after a short circuit (SC). The simulations provided an insight into the load limitations that the generator has by each type of Alnico studied. Alnico 9 showed to be the best candidate magnet from the three magnets implemented with less demagnetization and higher electrical power output, followed by Alnico 8, which presented a good electrical power output at the nominal load scenario. Regardless of the higher demagnetization of Alnico 5, it proved to be a better candidate than Alnico 8 at the SC scenario.
