É conhecido que defeitos como entalhes ("notches") em nanofios são úteis para fixar paredes de domínio. No entanto, a intensidade de potencial de aprisionamento gerado com esse tipo de defeito é muito forte, e para desprender a parede de domínio é ne-cessário aplicar uma densidade de corrente muito elevada. Entretanto, pode-se criar armadilhas para paredes de domínios variando localmente propriedades magnéticas do nanofio, tais como: tais como constante de troca, magnetização de saturação, constante de anisotropia, parâmetro de amortecimento de Gilbert. Definimos essas regiões como impurezas magnéticas por ter propriedades magnéticas diferentes do nanofio. Neste trabalho, realizamos simulações micro-magnéticas para investigar a dinâmica de uma parede de domínio transversal (PDT) aprisionada em um defeito magnético usando pulsos de corrente elétrica polarizada em spin. Afim de criar armadilhas de aprisionamento para a PDT, consideramos um modelo de impureza magnética variando localmente a constante de troca. Ao ajustar o potencial de interação entre impure-zas magnéticas e uma PDT, verificamos que pulsos de corrente de baixa intensidade e de curta duração são capazes de desprender a PDT. Por fim, demonstramos que é possível controlar a posição de uma PDT aplicando pulsos de corrente sequenciais em uma nanofita contendo uma distribuição linear de impurezas magnéticas igualmente espaçadas. / Understand and control the domain wall movement in nanowires is extremely important for the development of new technologies for an application in data storage devices. It is known that defect as notches in nanowires are useful to pinning domain walls. Nevertheless, the pinning potential intensity generated by this type of defect is strong, and for depinning the domain wall it is necessary to apply a high current density. However, it is possible to create traps for domains walls by locally varying magnetic properties of the nanowire, such as: the exchange constant, saturation magnetization, anisotropy constant, Gilbert damping parameters. We define those regions as magnetic impurities once their magnetic properties differ from the nanowire proper-ties. In this study, we realized micromagnetic simulations in order to investigate the dynamics of a transverse domain wall (TDW) trapped in a magnetic defect using electric current pulses of spin-polarized. In order to create traps to TDW pinning, we have modeled the magnetic impurities by varying the exchange constant locally. When we adjusted the interaction poten-tial between the magnetic impurities and the nanowire we showed that low intensity and short duration current pulses are capable of depinning the TDW. At last, we demonstrated that it is possible to control the TDW position applying sequential current pulses in a nanowire planar containing a linear distribution of magnetic impurities equally distributed.

La découverte en 2008 de supraconductivité à relativement haute température (Tc,max = 56K) dans les pnictures de Fer a ravivé les questions fondamentales sur l’origine et la nature de la supraconductivité posés par les supraconducteurs non conventionnels. En particulier, la présence d’une phase antiferromagnétique à proximité de celle supraconductrice dans leur diagramme de phase pose la question du lien entre magnétisme et supraconductivité. Ces supraconducteurs à base de Fe présentent un diagramme de phase générique, mais quelques exceptions remettent en question une description qui se voudrait universelle. Nous avons choisi d’étudier ces cas particuliers grâce à une sonde locale, la résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN). Nos observations nous ont non seulement permis de comprendre la raison de ces exceptions, mais aussi de s’en servir pour mieux sonder les corrélations magnétiques dans ces matériaux, un ingrédient clé pour la compréhension de la supraconductivité. Premier sujet, la coexistence de supraconductivité et de magnétisme : celle-ci a été observée dans la plupart des supraconducteurs à base de Fer de façon homogène ou inhomogène, mais toujours pour des états magnétiques à faible TN et faibles moments en accord avec des descriptions itinérantes à faibles corrélations. Pourtant un nouveau composé au Sélénium est venu remettre en cause ces conclusions en présentant une apparente coexistence homogène entre une forte supraconductivité macroscopique (Tc ≈ 30K) et un très fort antiferromagnétisme (TN ≈ 600K, moments magnétiques de valeur élevée de 3.3µB). Cette observation suggère donc une description ici plutôt en terme d’isolants de Mott contrairement aux autres supraconducteurs à base de Fer. Nos mesures RMN permettent de montrer en fait l’existence d’une séparation de phase et de statuer sur la stœchiométrie et les propriétés électroniques des différentes phases, pour finalement réconcilier ce composé et les autres familles. Deuxième exception : dans la famille archétype BaFe₂As₂, tous les dopages sur site Fer ou Arsenic ou même l’application de pression mènent à la supraconductivité, sauf dans le cas du dopage au Manganèse ou au Chrome en site Fer, qui ne provoquent pas l’apparition de la supraconductivité. Nos mesures RMN nous ont permis de sonder la nature de la transition magnétique, mais aussi l’état métallique de ces composés substitués. Nous montrons en particulier que le trou supplémentaire du Manganèse substitué à la place du Fer reste en fait localisé sur son site et se manifeste alors par un moment magnétique localisé. Cette étude du dopage par le Manganèse ouvre la voie à l’idée d’utiliser le Manganèse en faible concentration comme source de moments localisés qui polarisent magnétiquement leur environnement. Cette polarisation permet en effet de caractériser la nature même des corrélations de spin. Nous avons donc utilisé la RMN ainsi que la magnétométrie-SQUID pour mesurer cette polarisation dans des composés supraconducteurs pour sonder les corrélations de spins de ces systèmes. Nous concluons que ces corrélations sont plutôt faibles et indépendantes de la température dans les composés dopés en électrons. / The discovery in 2008 of superconductivity at a rather high temperature in the iron pnictides (Tc,max = 56K) has revived the fundamental questions about the existence and the nature of the superconducting phase raised by the unconventional superconductors. In particular, the existence of an antiferromagnetic phase that is in vicinity of the superconducting phase in the phase diagram raises questions about the link between magnetism and superconductivity. These Iron based superconductors have a generic phase diagram, but some exceptions are questioning a description that would be universal. We chose to study these cases through a local probe, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Our observations have not only allowed us to understand the reasons for these exceptions, but also be used to better probe the magnetic correlations in these materials, a key ingredient for the understanding of superconductivity. First subject, the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism: it was observed in most superconductors based on iron homogeneously or inhomogeneously, but always for magnetic states at low TN and low magnetic moments in accordance with nesting descriptions with low correlations. Yet a new compound Selenium came to question these conclusions with an apparent homogeneous coexistence between a strong macroscopic superconductivity (Tc ≈ 30K) and a very strong antiferromagnetism (TN ≈ 600K, magnetic moments of high value of 3.3μB). This observation suggests a description rather in terms of Mott insulators, unlike other iron-based superconductors. Our NMR measurements show the existence of an effective phase separation and determine the stoichiometry and the electronic properties of the different phases, eventually reconciling this compound and other families. Second exception : in the archetype family BaFe₂As₂, all iron or arsenic on-site doping or even application of pressure leads to superconductivity, except in the case of Chrome or Manganese doping in Iron site, which does not cause the onset of superconductivity. Our NMR measurements have allowed us to probe the nature of the magnetic transition, but also the metallic state of the substituted compounds. We show in particular that the extra hole Manganese substituted in place of the iron is actually located on its atom and then manifested by a localized magnetic moment. This study of Manganese doping opens up the idea of using Manganese in low concentrations as a source of localized moments which magnetically polarize their environment. This polarization makes it possible to characterize the nature of the spin correlations. We used NMR and SQUID magnetometry, to measure the polarization in superconducting compounds to probe the spin correlations of these systems. We conclude that these correlations are rather low and independent of temperature in electrons doped compounds.
