L'objectif de cette thèse est de développer des bio-capteurs à base de magnétorésistance géante (GMR), ainsi que l'électronique de conditionnement associée, en vue de caractériser magnétiquement des ferrofluides biologiques. Ce travail a été réalisé en collaboration avec le Pr Sotoshi YAMADA de l'Institut « Nature and Environmental Technology» de l'Université de Kanazawa. La première partie porte sur l'état de l'art et les méthodes de mesures des propriétés magnétiques des ferrofluides et la physique de l'effet GMR. La deuxième partie concerne la mise en place d'un dispositif de mesure pour déterminer et caractériser la valeur de la sensibilité de chaque capteur. Cette sensibilité est une caractéristique cruciale pour toute application biomédicale. Sa connaissance et son optimisation permettent d'envisager des mesures précises et justes des propriétés magnétiques des ferrofluides notamment à bas niveau de signal. La troisième partie, également expérimentale, décrit les mesures de la perméabilité relative (µr) et de la susceptibilité (X) de fluides magnétiques (ferrofluides) par des capteurs GMR I, II. En outre, afin de confirmer les résultats expérimentaux obtenus avec ces capteurs, nous les avons comparés à ceux obtenus avec d'autres méthodes comme la magnétométrie à échantillon vibrant (VSM) ou à des calculs théoriques. Le quatrième et dernier chapitre présente les résultats expérimentaux de la perméabilité relative et de la susceptibilité d'un marqueur magnétique permettant la détection de la bactérie pathogène Escherichia coli O157: H7 / The intent of this thesis is to develop bio-sensors based on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and the associated conditioning electronics, to characterize magnetically organic ferrofluids. This work was done in collaboration with Pr Sotoshi YAMADA of the Institute "Nature and Environmental Technology" at the University of Kanazawa. The first part focuses on the state of the art and the methods for magnetic properties measurements of ferrofluids and the description of the GMR effect.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In this dissertation we present the synthesis of intermetallic compounds DyRhIn5 and Dy2RhGa8, in single crystalline shape by self-flux method, the structural characterization was done by powder X-ray diffraction measurements at room temperature and the magnetic characterization by dc magnetization measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field applied in two directions, along and perpendicular to the c-axis of single crystals, using a commercial magnetometer MPMS-7 with SQUID detection. The single crystal was formed in a single phase with tetragonal structure HoCoGa5-type, belonging to the space group P4/mmm, with lattice parameters equals to a = b = 4.585 Å and c = 7.359 Å. This compound showed an antiferromagnetic order with Néel Temperature of 28 k when the magnetic field of 1 kOe was applied along to the c-axis. In the magnetic hysteresis curves at T = 2 and 5 K, with the magnetic field applied parallel to the c-axis, a metamagnetic behavior was observed for magnetic fields above 50 kOe. The Dy2RhGa8 compound was growth in phase purity with tetragonal structure Ho2CoGa8-type, belonging to space group P4/mmm, with lattice parameters equals to a = b = 4.332 Å and c = 11.347 Å. An antiferromagnetic order was observed with the Néel temperature of 11 k when the magnetic field was applied in both directions. We observed a typical Curie-Weiss behavior above Néel Temperature for both compounds, signalizing the localized moment of Dy3+ ion. The magnetic susceptibility data were analyzed by means of crystalline electric field (CEF) in these dysprosium compounds. From the data we estimate the crystal field parameters, and discuss that the observed anisotropy can be attributed to CEF effects in Dy3+ ion in a tetragonal symmetry. / Nesta dissertação apresenta-se a síntese em forma monocristalina dos compostos intermetálicos DyRhIn5 e Dy2RhGa8 pelo método do auto-fluxo, a caracterização estrutural através de medidas de difração de pó de raios X à temperatura ambiente e a caracterização magnética através de medidas de magnetização dc em função da temperatura e do campo magnético aplicado. As medidas magnéticas foram realizadas aplicando o campo magnético paralela e perpendicularmente ao eixo c dos monocristais, com a utilização de um magnetômetro comercial MPMS-7, com detecção SQUID. O monocristal DyRhIn5 formou-se em fase única com estrutura tetragonal tipo HoCoGa5, pertencente ao grupo espacial P4/mmm, com parâmetros de rede iguais a a = b= 4,585 Å e c = 7,359 Å. Este composto apresentou uma ordem antiferromagnética com temperatura de Néel de 28 k quando um campo de 1 kOe foi aplicado ao longo do eixo c. Nas curvas de histerese magnética em T = 2 e 5 K, com o campo magnético aplicado paralelamente ao eixo c do cristal, um comportamento metamagnético foi observado para campos magnéticos acima de 50 kOe. O composto Dy2RhGa8 cresceu em fase pura com estrutura tetragonal tipo Ho2CoGa8, pertencente ao grupo espacial P4/mmm, tendo parâmetros de rede iguais a a= b = 4,332 Å e c = 11,799 Å. Uma ordem antiferromagnética foi observada com uma temperatura de Néel de 11 k para ambas as direções que fora aplicado o campo magnético. Para ambos os compostos, um comportamento típico Curie-Weiss foi observado a partir da temperatura de transição, indicando que o momento do íon Dy3+ é localizado. Os dados de susceptibilidade magnética foram analisados incluindo efeitos do campo elétrico cristalino (CEF) nestes dois compostos de disprósio. A partir dos dados, estimamos os parâmetros de campo cristalino e discutimos que a anisotropia observada pode ser atribuída a efeitos CEF no íon Dy3+ na simetria tetragonal.

Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse s'inscrivent dans le cadre de l'analyse et la modélisation de la distribution du champ magnétique dans les machines électriques à circuit magnétique feuilleté avec des tôles à grains orientés. L'anisotropie des tôles magnétiques des transformateurs induit des phénomènes 3D complexes au niveau des joints magnétiques où les tôles se chevauchent. Concernant l'augmentation de l'efficacité énergétique des machines tournantes, de nouvelles structures à base de tôles à grains orientés font leur apparition. Néanmoins, simuler finement en 3D un paquet de tôles minces recouvertes d'un isolant de quelques microns d'épaisseur conduit à des temps de calculs très importants.Dans cette optique, nous présentons une méthode d'homogénéisation dont le but est de définir les caractéristiques magnétiques équivalentes d'un empilement quelconque de tôles et d'entrefers. Sa formulation est basée sur la minimisation de l'énergie et la conservation du flux magnétique. Les résultats de cette méthode appliquée à un joint magnétique de transformateur à joints step-lap sont confrontés à des mesures expérimentales et à un modèle élément fini 3D. Ce dernier requiert de connaître les caractéristiques magnétiques des tôles dans les directions de laminage, transverse et normale. La détermination de la perméabilité des tôles dans la direction normale est problématique et constitue un point original de notre étude. Deux méthodes, analytique et numérique, s'appuient sur les mesuresd'un banc de caractérisation en régime statique pour déterminer cette perméabilité normale. / This thesis focuses on the analysis and the modeling the magnetic flux distribution in electrical machines with anisotropic laminated magnetic circuit. The anisotropy of magnetic sheets in transformers induces complex 3D phenomena in step-lap magnetic joints where the sheets are overlapped. Moreover, in order to increase the energy efficiency of rotating machines, new structures based on grain-oriented electrical steel are developed.However, an accurate 3D simulation of a laminated core with thin sheets and insulation of a few microns leads to very large computation time. In this context, we present a homogenization method, which purpose is to define the equivalent magnetic characteristics of any laminated core made of sheets and air gaps. Its formulation is based on the energy minimization and the magnetic flux conservation. The results of this method applied to a step-lap magnetic joint are compared with experimental measurements and a 3D finite element model. The latter requires to know the magnetic characteristics of the sheets in the rolling, transverse and normal directions. The determination of the sheets permeability in the normal direction is problematic and it constitutes an original point of our study.Two methods, analytical and numerical, based on measurements obtained with a static characterization bench makes possible the determination of the normale permeability.

La conception de machines électriques tend à intégrer l’impact des procédés de fabrication dans le but d’optimiser la conversion d’énergie mécanique en énergie électrique, en lien avec la maîtrise des propriétés électromagnétiques des composants des machines. Les interactions entre procédés, propriétés électromagnétiques et autres propriétés du matériau ont beaucoup été étudiées dans le cas des tôles compte tenu de leur large utilisation dans le domaine de l’électrotechnique et des moyens de caractérisation magnétique normalisés actuels. Cependant, un alternateur à griffes, utilisé dans l’industrie automobile, comporte des composants massifs au rotor pour la conversion mécanique/électrique. Ces composants, appelés roues polaires, sont obtenus par un processus de fabrication comprenant des opérations de forgeage et dont l’impact sur les performances de la machine est encore mal déterminé. Les nouvelles problématiques que pose ce genre de pièces ont mené, dans le cadre des présents travaux, au développement d’une méthodologie spécifique comprenant : l’identification du lien procédés – produit, le développement d’un banc de caractérisation magnétique d’échantillons représentatifs ainsi que la construction de lois de comportement sur des paramètres matériau pertinents à partir de ces échantillons. Les résultats, en accord avec la littérature, ont montré un impact fort de la déformation plastique et de la taille de grain sur les propriétés magnétiques. Cela se traduit, une fois les propriétés modifiées intégrées dans la simulation des performances d’un alternateur, par une baisse significative du courant débité. / The design of electrical machines aims to integrate the impact of the manufacturing process in order to optimize the conversion from mechanical to electrical energy, with the consideration of the electromagnetic properties of the machine components. The interactions between processes, electromagnetic properties and other material properties have been well studied in the case of the steel laminations, regarding their wide use in electrical engineering and the current standards of magnetic characterization devices. However, the claw pole alternator used in automotive industry has a rotor with massive components for the mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion. These components, called claw poles, are manufactured with forging operations whose impact on the machine performance is yet not well determined. The new challenges brought by this kind of work pieces led, in the frame of the current study, to the development of a specific methodology involving: identification of the link process – product, designing of a magnetic characterization device specific for representative samples as well as the establishment of behavior laws regarding relevant material parameters. The results, in accordance with the literature, have shown a strong influence of plastic strain and grain size on magnetic properties. Once these modified properties integrated in the electromagnetic model of the claw pole alternator, a significant decreased of the output current is eventually observed.

The use of magnetometers combined with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is an emerging market for commercial and military applications. This study presents the methodology used to magnetically characterize a novel fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV. The most challenging aspect of integrating magnetometers on manned or unmanned aircraft is minimizing the amount of magnetic noise generated by the aircraft’s onboard components. As magnetometer technology has improved in recent years magnetometer payloads have decreased in size. As a result, there has been an increase in opportunities to employ small to medium UAV with magnetometer applications. However, in comparison to manned aviation, small UAVs have smaller distance scales between sources of interference and sensors. Therefore, more robust magnetic characterization techniques are required specifically for UAVs. This characterization determined the most suitable position for the magnetometer payload by evaluating the aircraft’s static-field magnetic signature. For each aircraft component, the permanent and induced magnetic dipole moment characteristics were determined experimentally. These dipole characteristics were used to build three dimensional magnetic models of the aircraft. By assembling the dipoles in 3D space, analytical and numerical static-field solutions were obtained using MATLAB computational and COMSOL finite element analysis frameworks. Finally, Tolles and Lawson aeromagnetic compensation coefficients were computed and compared to evaluate the maneuver noise for various payload locations. The magnetic models were used to study the sensitivity of the aircraft configuration and to simultaneously predict the effects at potential sensor locations. The study concluded by predicting that a wingtip location was the area of lowest magnetic interference. / Graduate

In the sequence, studies related to the magnetic hysteresis and to the magnetic losses, especially in silicon steels, are presented. The magnetic hysteresis in silicon steels has been analysed through the inverse version of the Jiles–Atherton classical model and through a modified one found in the literature. Concerning the determination of its parameters, the theory and the computational implementation of the heuristic method known as “Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA)” have been addressed. Within this context, it was possible to investigate two drawbacks of the Jiles–Atherton model: i) the modeling of the so–called inner loops; and ii) the modeling of the minor loops. In the study of the magnetic losses in silicon steels, it was employed in this work the Bertotti´s model, which establishes the total magnetic losses division in three independent components: hysteresis losses, classical losses, and excess losses. It was investigated two versions of this model, so–called B1 and B2, in which the magnetic hysteresis losses are modeled respectively through the Steinmetz´s model and through the theory of two–portion hysteresis losses subdivision: the one so-called high induction hysteresis losses, and the other, low induction hysteresis losses. Due to some failures, a new approach was chosen reviewing two of the model coefficients calculation: the one related to the classic loss, and the other related to the excess loss. After this reviewing, the magnetic loss models could present predictions that are more exact. / Apresenta-se inicialmente neste trabalho o desenvolvimento e a implementação de uma nova metodologia para controlar a forma de onda da indução magnética, a qual foi inserida no sistema de medição automatizado para a caracterização de materiais magnéticos moles, denominado SCaMMa. Na sequência, apresentam-se estudos relativos à histerese magné- tica e às perdas magnéticas que ocorrem nesses materiais, especialmente os aços para fins elétricos. A histerese magnética em aços para fins elétricos foi abordada através da versão inversa do modelo clássico de Jiles–Atherton e através de uma versão modificada, encontrada na literatura, desse mesmo modelo. Em relação à determinação dos parâmetros desse modelo, são abordadas a teoria e a implementação computacional do método heurístico conhecido como “Algoritmo do Embaralhamento dos Sapos Saltitantes” (tradução livre de Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA)). Nesse contexto, pôde-se investigar duas deficiências do modelo de Jiles–Atherton: modelagem dos laços de histerese ditos internos e modelagem dos laços de histerese menores. No estudo das perdas magnéticas em aços elétricos, empregou–se o modelo de Bertotti, o qual estabelece a divisão das perdas magnéticas totais em três componentes independentes: perdas por histerese, perdas clássicas e perdas em excesso. Foram investigadas duas versões desse modelo, os modelos denominados B1 e B2, nos quais as perdas por histerese são modeladas respectivamente através do modelo de Steinmetz e da teoria de subdivisão destas perdas em duas outras: perdas por histerese em altas e em baixas induções. Diante de alguns insucessos, optou-se por uma nova abordagem desse assunto, fazendo uma revisão do cálculo dos coeficientes relacionados à perda clássica e à perda em excesso desses modelos. Essa revisão se mostrou bastante efetiva, no sentido de que a partir de então, os modelos de previsão de perdas possibilitaram a obtenção de resultados mais exatos.
