Dynamique de l'aimantation assistée par un champ électrique dans des dispositifs à base de (Ga,Mn)As / Electric field induced magnetization dynamic in (Ga,Mn)As based devicesBalestrière, Pierrick 25 January 2011 (has links)
Ce travail de thèse a été consacré à l'étude à la fois théorique et expérimentale de la dynamique de l'aimantation assistée par un champ électrique dans un dispositif à base de (Ga,Mn)As. Une couche de (Ga,Mn)As, dont l’anisotropie magnétique est complexe, est un matériau de choix pour la manipulation de l’aimantation par un champ électrique.J’ai présenté une stratégie de retournement précessionnel de l'aimantation qui tire partie de la réduction transitoire de l'anisotropie cubique provoquée par une courte impulsion de champ électrique. A l’aide d’un modèle macrospin, j’ai démontré notamment qu'une impulsion de champ électrique de quelques ns de durée est suffisante pour basculer l'aimantation entre deux positions d'équilibres.L'aspect expérimental est basé sur l'utilisation d'une jonction p-n tout semi-conducteur dont la région dopée p est formée par une couche mince de (Ga,Mn)As. La déplétion des porteurs de charge dans le canal semi-conducteur provoquée par l'application d'un train d'impulsions de tension de courte durée induit une forte diminution du champ d'anisotropie cubique. L'étude expérimentale du renversement de l'aimantation en champ magnétique a conduit à la mise en évidence d'un retournement de l'aimantation via la nucléation et la propagation de parois et d’une distribution large des champs de piégeage. L'inhomogénéité magnétique au sein de la couche de (Ga,Mn)As a empêché l'observation d'une résonance ferromagnétique induite par un champ électrique. Néanmoins, des mesures de retournement avec une ou plusieurs impulsions de tension de grille ont permis de proposer un processus de renversement de l'aimantation induit par un champ électrique. / This work has been devoted to the study of both theoretical and experimental electric field induced magnetization dynamics in a (Ga,Mn)As based device. A layer of (Ga,Mn)As, whose magnetic anisotropy is complex, is of particular interest for magnetization manipulation by electric fields.I proposed a scheme for the precessional switching of the magnetization using cubic anisotropy field reduction triggered by electric field pulse. Using a model macrospin, I demonstrated that a ns-pulse is sufficient to switch the magnetization between two equilibrium positions.An all-semiconductor epitaxial p-n junction based on low-doped (Ga,Mn)As was fabricated. Gating effects triggered by low voltage pulses induced a strong decrease of the cubic anisotropy field. I demonstrated that magnetization reversal is dominated by the nucleation and the propagation of domain walls. The distribution of pinning fields was found to be broad. Due to a magnetic inhomogeneity of the (Ga,Mn)As layer, it was not possible to observe any ferromagnetic resonance induced by an electric field. However, I proposed a magnetization reversal scenario based on single or multiple gate voltage pulses measurements

Constructing and Commissioning HELIOS – A High Harmonic Generation Source for Pump-Probe Measurements with sub 50 fs Temporal Resolution : The Development of Experimental Equipment for Extreme Ultraviolet SpectroscopyTerschlüsen, Joachim A. January 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents HELIOS, an in-house laboratory for time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe radiation. A wide span of pump wavelengths can be generated using commercial laser equipment while XUV probe radiation is generated via a high harmonic generation process in a noble gas delivering probe photons with energies between 20 eV and 72 eV. The XUV beam path features a time-preserving monochromator and was constructed and built in-house. HELIOS features an overall time resolution of about 50 fs when using 800 nm pump and 41 eV probe photons. An energy resolution of 110 meV at 41 eV photon energy can be achieved. HELIOS features two beamlines. One µ-focus beamline with an XUV focal size of about 20 µm can be used with experiments that require such a small XUV focal size as well as with different end stations. The other beamline features a semi-permanently mounted end station for angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Experiments demonstrating the usability of HELIOS and the two beamlines are presented. A pump-probe measurement on graphene demonstrates the capability of determining a large part of the k-space in only one measurement due to the use of an ARTOF angle-resolved time-of-flight electron spectrometer. A non-angle-resolved pump-probe measurement on the conducting polymer PCPDTBT demonstrates the high signal-to-noise ratio achievable at this beamline in non-angle-resolved photoelectron-spectroscopy pump-probe measurements. The usability of the µ-focus beamline is demonstrated with time-resolved measurements on magnetic samples employing an in-house-designed spectrometer. These experiments allow the retrieval of element-specific information on the magnetization within a sample employing the transversal magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE). Additionally, a Fourier transform spectrometer for the XUV is presented, the concept was tested at a synchrotron and it was used to determine the longitudinal coherence of the XUV radiation at HELIOS.
