Magnetické anizotropie v (Ga,Mn)As a v kovových multivrstvách se silnou spin-orbitální interakcí / Magnetic anisotropies in (Ga,Mn)As and metallic multilayers with strong spin-orbit coupling

Zemen, Jan January 2010 (has links)
The thesis presents a numerical study of magnetocrystalline anisotropies in dilute ferromagnetic semiconductors and transition metal systems intended to advance the current understanding of the microscopic origins of this relativistic effect and to contribute to the development of spintronic devices with new functionalities. The major part of the work surveys magnetocrystalline anisotropies in (Ga,Mn)As epilayers and compares the calculations to available experimental data. Our model is based on an envelope function description of the valence band holes and a spin representation for their kinetic-exchange interaction with localised electrons on Mn2+ ions, treated in the mean-field approximation. For epilayers with growth induced lattice-matching strains we study in-plane to out-of-plane easy axis reorientations as a function of Mn local-moment concentration, hole concentration, and temperature. Next we focus on the competition of in-plane cubic and uniaxial anisotropies. We add an in-plane shear strain to the effective Hamiltonian in order to capture measured data in bare, unpatterned epilayers, and we provide microscopic justification for this approach. The model is then extended by an in-plane uniaxial strain and used to directly describe experiments with magnetisation direction controlled by...

Unconventional Spin State Driven Spontaneous Magnetization in a Praseodymium Iron Antimonide

Pabst, Falk, Palazzese, Sabrina, Seewald, Felix, Yamamoto, Shingo, Gorbunov, Denis, Chattopadhyay, Sumanta, Herrmannsdörfer, Thomas, Ritter, Clemens, Finzel, Kati, Doert, Thomas, Klauss, Hans-Henning, Wosnitza, Jochen, Ruck, Michael 19 March 2024 (has links)
Consolidating a microscopic understanding of magnetic properties is crucial for a rational design of magnetic materials with tailored characteristics. The interplay of 3d and 4f magnetism in rare-earth transition metal antimonides is an ideal platform to search for such complex behavior. Here the synthesis, crystal growth, structure, and complex magnetic properties are reported of the new compound Pr3Fe3Sb7 as studied by magnetization and electrical transport measurements in static and pulsed magnetic fields up to 56 T, powder neutron diffraction, and Mößbauer spectroscopy. On cooling without external magnetic field, Pr3Fe3Sb7 shows spontaneous magnetization, indicating a symmetry breaking without a compensating domain structure. The Fe substructure exhibits noncollinear ferromagnetic order below the Curie temperature TC ≈ 380 K. Two spin orientations exist, which approximately align along the Fe–Fe bond directions, one parallel to the ab plane and a second one with the moments canting away from the c axis. The Pr substructure orders below 40 K, leading to a spin-reorientation transition (SRT) of the iron substructure. In low fields, the Fe and Pr magnetic moments order antiparallel to each other, which gives rise to a magnetization antiparallel to the external field. At 1.4 K, the magnetization approaches saturation above 40 T. The compound exhibits metallic resistivity along the c axis, with a small anomaly at the SRT.

Magnetodynamics in Spin Valves and Magnetic Tunnel Junctions with Perpendicular and Tilted Anisotropies

Le, Quang Tuan January 2016 (has links)
Spin-torque transfer (STT) effects have brought spintronics ever closer to practical electronic applications, such as MRAM and active broadband microwave spin-torque oscillator (STO), and have emerged as an increasingly attractive field of research in spin dynamics. Utilizing materials with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in such applications offers several great advantages such as low-current, low-field operation combined with high thermal stability. The exchange coupling that a PMA thin film exerts on an adjacent in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA) layer can tilt the IMA magnetization direction out of plane, thus creating a stack with an effective tilted magnetic anisotropy. The tilt angle can be engineered via both intrinsic material parameters, such as the PMA and the saturation magnetization, and extrinsic parameters, such as the layer thicknesses.       STOs can be fabricated in one of a number of forms—as a nanocontact opening on a mesa from a deposited pseudospin-valve (PSV) structure, or as a nanopillar etching from magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ)—composed of highly reproducible PMA or predetermined tilted magnetic anisotropy layers.       All-perpendicular CoFeB MTJ STOs showed high-frequency microwave generation with extremely high current tunability, all achieved at low applied biases. Spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) measurements and analysis revealed the bias dependence of spin-torque components, thus promise great potential for direct gate-voltage controlled STOs.       In all-perpendicular PSV STOs, magnetic droplets were observed underneath the nanocontact area at a low drive current and low applied field. Furthermore, preliminary results for microwave auto-oscillation and droplet solitons were obtained from tilted-polarizer PSV STOs. These are promising and would be worth investigating in further studies of STT driven spin dynamics. / Effekter av spinnvridmoment (STT) har fört spinntroniken allt närmare praktiska elektroniska tillämpningar, såsom MRAM och den spinntroniska mikrovågsoscillatorn (STO), och har blivit ett allt mer attraktivt forskningsområde inom spinndynamik. Användning av material med vinkelrät magnetisk anisotropi (PMA) i sådana tillämpningar erbjuder flera stora fördelar, såsom låg strömförbrukning och funktion vid låga fält i kombination med hög termisk stabilitet. Den utbyteskoppling (”exchange bias”) en PMA-tunnfilm utövar på ett intilliggande skikt med magnetisk anisotropi i planet (IMA) kan få IMA-magnetiseringsriktningen att vridas ut ur planet, vilket ger en materialstack med en effektivt sett lutande magnetisk anisotropi. Lutningsvinkeln kan manipuleras med både inre materialparametrar, såsom PMA och mättningsmagnetisering, och yttre parametrar, såsom skikttjocklekarna. STO:er kan tillverkas som flera olika typer - som en nanokontaktsöppning på en s.k. mesa av en deponerad pseudospinnventilstruktur (PSV) eller som en nanotråd etsad ur en magnetisk tunnlingsövergång (MTJ) –och bestå av mycket reproducerbar PMA eller av skikt med på förhand bestämt lutning av dess magnetiska anisotropi. MTJ-STO:er av CoFeB med helt vinkelrät anisotropi visar högfrekvent mikrovågsgenerering med extremt stort frekvensomfång hos strömstyrningen, detta vid låg biasering. Mätning och analys av spinnvridmoments-ferromagnetisk resonans (ST-FMR) avslöjade ett biasberoende hos spinnvridmomentskomponenter, vilket indikerar en stor potential för direkt gate-spänningsstyrda STO:er. I helt vinkelräta PSV-STO:er observerades magnetiska droppar under nanokontaktområdet vid låg drivström och lågt pålagt fält. Dessutom erhölls preliminära resultat av mikrovågssjälvsvängning och av s.k. ”droplet solitons” hos PSV-STO:er med lutande polarisator. Dessa är lovande och skulle vara värda att undersökas i ytterligare studier av STT-driven spinndynamik. / <p>QC 20160829</p>

Synthèse, caractérisation et propriétés magnétiques de nano-aimants moléculaires / Synthesis, characterization and magnetic properties of single molecule magnets

Zakhia, Georges 18 May 2015 (has links)
Dans la première partie de ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes intéressé à l’étude de l’anisotropie magnétique au sein de complexes mononucléaires de Ni(II) et de Co(II) pentacoordinés de géométrie allant de la pyramide à base carrée jusqu’à la bipyramide trigonale. Pour les complexes mononucléaires, nous avons montré que pour une géométrie donnée, la nature de l’ion métallique a une influence importante sur l’anisotropie magnétique.Nous avons étudié l’effet de la géométrie pour un même ion métallique. Dans le cas d’une géométrie bipyramidale trigonale (symétrie C3v), nous avons montré que le complexe de Co(II) possède un axe facile de l’aimantation et donc un blocage de l’aimantation qui conduisent à l’ouverture d’un cycle d’hystérèse à basse température. Ce type de complexe peut donc être utilisé pour le stockage de l’information. Dans la deuxième partie du travail, nous avons étudié les propriétés magnétiques de complexes binucléaires. Un complexe binucléaire de Co(II) pontés par deux Cl- présente un faible couplage ferromagnétique et un blocage de l’aimantation.Enfin, l’autre aspect de ce travail est de réaliser une molécule binucléaire où deux ions anisotropes, chacun possédant un axe facile de l’aimantation, soient faiblement couplés de manière antiferromagnétique. Pour ce faire, nous avons étudié des composés avec des ligands de type cryptant où la géométrie autour des Co(II) est bipyramide trigonale. Nous avons trouvé qu’avec un ligand pontant de type Cl- ou Br-, l’interaction d’échange est beaucoup plus importante que l’anisotropie locale des ions Co(II) conduisant à un comportement magnétique où les ions perdent leur caractère local. Ce travail ouvre la perspective de synthétiser le même type de complexes mais avec des ponts de plus grande taille pour diminuer l’intensité du couplage antiferromagnétique. / In the first part of this thesis, we studied the magnetic anisotropy of pentacoordinated mononuclear Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes possessing geometries from square pyramid to trigonal bipyramid. We have shown that, for a given geometry, the metal ion nature has an important influence on the magnetic anisotropy.Then, we studied for a given metal ion the effect of geometry on its magnetic anisotropy. In the case of a trigonal bipyramidal geometry (C3v symmetry), we showed that Co(II) has an Ising type anisotropy (easy axis of magnetization) and thus a blocking of magnetization that leads to an opening of a hysteresis cycle at low temperature. This type of complexes can be used for storing data albeit at low temperature.In the second part of the work, we studied the magnetic properties of binuclear complexes. A binuclear Co(II) complex bridged by two Cl- has a weak ferromagnetic coupling and a blocking of its magnetization.Finally, another aspect of this work was to design binuclear complexes, where two anisotropic ions having each one an easy axis of magnetization, are weakly antiferromagnetically coupled. To do this, we have studied compounds with cryptand ligands where the geometry around the Co (II) is trigonal bipyramid. We found that with a Cl- or Br- bridging ligand, the exchange interaction is much more important than the local anisotropy of Co(II) ions leading to a magnetic behavior where the ions lose their local character. This work opens up prospects for synthesizing the same type of complex but with larger bridges to decrease the intensity of the antiferromagnetic coupling.

Croissance par voie électrochimique et propriétés magnétiques et topographique de couches minces de Co sur Si(111) / Electrochemical growth of Co thin films on Si (111) and magnetic and topogro

Mechehoud, Fayçal 18 November 2016 (has links)
Nous avons réalisé des couches minces de Co sur un substrat semi-conducteur (Si(111)) par voix électrochimique, en mode potentiostatique et en mode galvanostatique, et étudié leurs propriétés topographiques (AFM, MEB) et magnétique (RMN, effet Kerr, SQUID), afin de relier ces propriétés aux modes de croissance et aux conditions de dépôt à priori identiques conduisent à des morphologies et donc des propriétés magnétiques très différentes. Nous avons développé une approche rigoureuse avec un contrôle systématique de la qualité du substrat de départ pour clarifier les modes de nucléation et de croissance en fonction du potentiel appliqué en chronoampérométrie. Une transition d’un mode de nucléation instantanée vers un mode de nucléation progressive en fonction du potentiel appliqué est mise en évidence. La modélisation à l’aide du modèle de Scharifker-Hills des modes de nucléation et de croissance est cohérente avec les images de topographie AFM. La croissance est tridimensionnelle du type Volmer-Weber et l’aimantation est orientée dans le plan. Par RMN et également X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS), nous montrons qu’une couche d’hydroxyde de cobalt magnétiquement morte se forme à l’interface avec le Si. En mode galvanostatique, des grains avec des facettes parfaitement cristallisés présentent des domaines magnétiques localisés dans la plupart des ilots. Nous avons également effectué une étude très critique des techniques de dépôt/arrachage employées dans la littérature montrant que celle-ci sont inadaptées aux substrats semi-conducteur, un dépôt subsistant sur la surface quel que soit la technique d’arrachage choisie. / We have deposited thin layers of Co on a semiconductor substrate Si(111), by electrochemical method, in potentiostatic and galvanostatic mode, and we have studied their topographic properties (AFM, MEB) and magnetic (RMN, effet Kerr, SQUID). Thanks to these different techniques, we could relate these properties to the growth modes and to the a priori identical deposition conditions, which lead to different morphologies and therefore different magnetic properties. We have developed a rigorous approach with a systematic control of the quality of the substrate in order to clarify the nucleation and growth modes as a function of the potential applied in chronoamperometry. A transition from an instantaneous nucleation mode to a progressive nucleation mode as a function of the applied potential is highlighted. Modeling with Scharifker-Hills model of nucleation and growth modes is consistent with AFM topography images. The growth is three-dimensional of a Volmer-Weber type and the magnetization is oriented in the plane. By NMR and also X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS), we could show that a layer of magnetically dead cobalt hydroxide layer forms at the interface with Si. In galvanostatic mode, grains with perfectly crystallized facets have magnetic domains located in most of the islands. We have also carried out a very critical study of the deposition / tearing techniques used in the literature showing that they are unsuitable for semiconductor substrates, a deposit remaining on the surface whatever the tearing technique chosen.

Tunable High-Field/ High-Frequency ESR and High-Field Magnetization on Single-Molecule Clusters / Abstimmbare Hochfeld/ Hochfrequenz ESR und Hochfeldmagnetisierung von Einzelmolekül-Clustern

Golze, Christian 07 January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
In this work, low dimensional iron group clusters have been studied by application of high magnetic fields. The magnetization has been probed with an MPMS as function of temperature and field. The combination with pulse field measurements up to 52\,T allowed determination of the magnetic exchange coupling parameters, and to probing the effective spin of the ground state. The main focus was on tunable high-field/high-frequency (tHF) ESR in static fields &amp;lt; 17 T and pulse field ESR up to 36 T. This magnetic resonance method has been used for the characterization of the local magnetic properties: The detailed analysis of the field dependence of dedicated spin states allowed to determine the magnetic anisotropy and g-factors. The results were analyzed in the framework of the appropriate effective spin Hamiltonians in terms of magnetization fits and ESR spectrum simulations.

Magnetische Anregungen und Achsenkonversion in NdCu2

Kramp, Sirko 09 January 2001 (has links) (PDF)
Die Arbeit beinhaltet eine Untersuchung der magnetischen Anregungen in NdCu2 mittels inelastischer Neutronenstreuung. Die Zielsetzung besteht darin, die zur Beschreibung der magnetischen Eigenschaften notwendige Austauschwechselwirkung zu charakterisieren. Dazu wurden die Spinwellendispersionsrelationen in mehreren magnetischen Phasen gemessen (ferro-, ferri-, antiferromagnetisch; magnetische Momente parallel b). Die Lage der in der ferromagnetischen Phase F3 erwarteten zwei Dispersionszweige konnte vollständig bestimmt werden. Auffälligstes Merkmal ist ein ausgeprägtes Minimum an der Stelle q=(0.35,0,0), welches eine Energielücke im Anregungsspektrum definiert. Die Lage des Minimums fällt mit keinem der in NdCu2 beobachteten magnetischen Ordnungsvektoren zusammen, wodurch die starke magnetischen Anisotropie des Systems zum Ausdruck kommt. An die experimentell ermittelte Spinwellendispersion in der Phase F3 wurde ein MF-RPA-Modell angepaßt, welches einen Satz magnetischer Kopplungsparameter liefert. Durch Anwendung dieser Kopplungsparameter auf andere Verbindungen der RCu2-Reihe lassen sich Aussagen zum magnetischen Ordnungsprozeß in diesen Verbindungen machen. Werden die magnetischen Momente durch Anlegen eines starken Magnetfeldes in c-Richtung ausgerichtet, so läßt sich die Austauschkopplung innerhalb der ab-Ebene untersuchen. Die magnetischen Anregungen wurden bei µ0Hc=12T und T=2K gemessen. Das Minimum im Anregungsspektrum liegt jetzt bei q=(0.6,0,0) und damit im Bereich der magnetischen Ordnungsvektoren. Ein besonders interessantes Phänomen innerhalb der RCu2-Reihe ist die sogenannte Achsenkonversion. Mittels elastischer Neutronenstreuung konnte erstmals gezeigt werden, daß eine Achsenkonversion auch in RCu2-Verbindungen auftritt, in denen die leichte Magnetisierungsrichtung parallel zur orthorhombischen b-Achse liegt. In NdCu2 deuten starke magnetostriktive Effekte und das Zusammenbrechen eines Bragg-Reflexes bei µ0Hc=12.5T und T=2K auf einen strukturellen Phasenübergang hin. Im abnehmenden äußeren Magnetfeld relaxieren die strukturellen Änderungen bis zum Erreichen des Nullfeldes nicht. Nach der Konversion wurde zwischen µ0Hc=0T und 6T eine neue antiferromagnetische Phase beobachtet. Die Rückkonversion in den Ausgangszustand erfolgt durch Erwärmung der Probe auf T=130K.

Rapid thermal annealing of FePt and FePt/Cu thin films

Brombacher, Christoph 14 February 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Chemically ordered FePt is one of the most promising materials to reach the ultimate limitations in storage density of future magnetic recording devices due to its high uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy and a corrosion resistance superior to rare-earth based magnets. In this study, FePt and FePt/Cu bilayers have been sputter deposited at room temperature onto thermally oxidized silicon wafers, glass substrates and self-assembled arrays of spherical SiO2 particles with diameters down to 10 nm. Millisecond flash lamp annealing, as well as conventional rapid thermal annealing was employed to induce the phase transformation from the chemically disordered A1 phase into the chemically ordered L10 phase. The influence of the annealing temperature, annealing time and the film thickness on the ordering transformation and (001) texture evolution of FePt films with near equiatomic composition was studied. Whereas flash lamp annealed FePt films exhibit a polycrystalline morphology with high chemical L10 order, rapid thermal annealing can lead to the formation of chemically ordered FePt fifilms with (001) texture on amorphous SiO2/Si substrates. The resultant high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and large coercivities up to 40 kOe are demonstrated. Simultaneuosly to the ordering transformation, rapid thermal annealing to temperatures exceeding 600 °C leads to a break up of the continuous FePt film into separated islands. This dewetting behavior was utilized to create regular arrays of FePt nanostructures on SiO2 particle templates with periods down to 50 nm. The addition of Cu improves the (001) texture formation and chemcial ordering for annealing temperatures T < 600 °C. In addition, the magnetic anisotropy and the coercivity of the ternary FePtCu alloy can be effectively tailored by adjusting the Cu content. The prospects of FePtCu based exchange spring media, as well as the magnetic properties of FePtCu nanostructures fabricated using e-beam and nanoimprint lithography have been investigated.
