Ever since the discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) in the Gd5(Si,Ge)4 phases, magnetic cooling has gained significant interest because of its potential environmental benefits and increased efficiency compared to vapour-based refrigeration. This current work is focused on one of the most promising GMCE systems, the (Mn,Fe)2(Si,P) materials. An alternative synthetic route has been explored for the Mn2-xFexSi0.5P0.5 and MnFeSiyP1-y series which is capable of producing phase-pure samples. The new preparation technique eliminates common impurities that arise from established methods thus providing a more accurate description of the structural and physical properties. The low cost, non-toxicity, abundance of starting materials and easy tuning of the magnetic properties make these materials desirable for potential applications. Phase-pure magnetocaloric Mn2-xFexSi0.5P0.5 materials (x = 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9) were synthesized through arc-melting followed by high temperature sintering. Structural features of samples with x = 0.6, 0.9 were studied through temperature dependent synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction. Magnetic measurements established the Curie temperature, thermal hysteresis, and magnetic entropy change of this system. According to the diffraction and magnetization data, all of the samples were shown to have a first-order magnetostructural transition which becomes less pronounced for Mn-richer samples. The MnFeSixP1-x phases (x = 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.48, 0.52, 0.54, 0.56) have also been synthesized by the same method. For the first time, single crystals of x = 0.30, 0.40 were successfully grown. Variable temperature x-ray diffraction experiments for x = 0.30 were completed which show the structural changes across the phase transition. This structural data was complemented with magnetization data providing Curie temperatures and thermal hysteresis. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Par une approche supramoléculaire, des architectures radiales hétéro-poly-métalliques ont été réalisées pour des applications en photosynthèse artificielle et en magnétisme moléculaire. Dans une première partie, la synthèse et la caractérisation (spectroscopie UV-vis, émission, électrochimique, DRX) de complexes de ruthénium(II), possédant une gamme de ligands polypyridines, ont été réalisées. Les calculs théoriques ont été effectués afin de soutenir l’interprétation des propriétés photophysiques. Ces complexes, présentant un certain nombre de pyridines externes, ont servi de cœur à des architectures à base de rhénium tris-carbonyles (pour les effets d’antenne), et de cobaloximes (pour les propriétés catalytiques). Les nucléarités obtenues varient de 2 à 7 selon le cœur utilisé. Ces systèmes ont été engagés dans des cycles de photo-production de dihydrogène, démontrant une meilleure efficacité que la référence du domaine, le [Ru(bpy)3]2+. La seconde partie concerne l’étude de couples de métaux de transition, construits à partir de briques polycyanométallates, ou de lanthanides pontés par des ligands oxamides. Ces approches « complexes comme ligand » puis « assemblages comme ligand » permettent d’obtenir des systèmes de haute nucléarité, présentant des propriétés de molécule-aimant ou des effets magnéto-caloriques (à base de CrNi, GdCu, DyCu). Des propriétés photomagnétiques ont été observées sur les couples RuCu et MoCu, pouvant servir de commutateurs moléculaires dans des systèmes complexes. Enfin, une structure hétéro-tétra-métallique trifonctionnelle a été obtenue contenant à la fois un commutateur MoCu, une entité molécule-aimant CuTb et un complexe de ruthénium. / By a supramolecular strategy, radial hetero-poly-metallic architectures were obtained for applications in artificial photosynthesis and molecular magnetism. The first part is devoted to the synthesis, as well as the photophysical characterization (UV-vis absorption, emission, electrochemistry, X-ray diffraction) of ruthenium(II) complexes bearing a wide range of polypyridine ligands. Theoretical calculations were performed to support the interpretation of the photophysical properties. Through their pendant pyridine moieties, these complexes were used as core of architectures, bearing rhenium tris-carbonyl (for antenna effects), and cobaloximes (for catalytic properties) complexes. The nuclearities obtained vary from two to seven according to the core involved. These systems were engaged in photo-production of hydrogen, demonstrating more efficient systems than the reference in the field, the archetypal [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The second part concerns the study of transition metal couples, built on polycyanometallate cores, or oxamide-bridged lanthanide-based assemblies. These “complex as ligand” and “assemblies as ligand” approaches allow us to obtain high nuclearity systems on which we seek single molecule magnet (SMM) properties or good magnetocaloric effect (based on CrNi, GdCu, DyCu). Photo-magnetic properties have been studied on the RuCu and MoCu couples, which can serve as molecular switches in complex systems. Finally, a tri-functional hetero-tetra-metallic architecture was obtained containing a MoCu switch, a CuTb SMM entity, and a ruthenium complex.

In this thesis, a numerical study of simulating and computing the magnetocaloric properties of magnetic materials is presented. The main objective was to deduce the optimal procedure to obtain the isothermal change in entropy of magnetic systems, by evaluating two different formulas of entropy extraction, one relying on the magnetization of the material and the other on the magnet's heat capacity. The magnetic systems were simulated using two different Monte Carlo algorithms, the Metropolis and Wang-Landau procedures. The two entropy methods proved to be comparably similar to one another. Both approaches produced reliable and consistent results, though finite size effects could occur if the simulated system became too small. Erroneous fluctuations that invalidated the results did not seem stem from discrepancies between the entropy methods but mainly from the computation of the heat capacity itself. Accurate determination of the heat capacity via an internal energy derivative generated excellent results, while a heat capacity obtained from a variance formula of the internal energy rendered the extracted entropy unusable. The results acquired from the Metropolis algorithm were consistent, accurate and dependable, while all of those produced via the Wang-Landau method exhibited intrinsic fluctuations of varying severity. The Wang-Landau method also proved to be computationally ineffective compared to the Metropolis algorithm, rendering the method not suitable for magnetic simulations of this type.

Ce travail de thèse avait pour but de sélectionner et de mettre en forme des matériaux pour la récupération thermomagnétique de la chaleur fatale de basse énergie (T ≤ 232 °C). L’effet thermomagnétique s’explique par la variation de l’aimantation d’un matériau en fonction du champ magnétique appliqué et aussi de sa température. Cet effet permet, au travers de matériaux spécifiques, de convertir l’énergie thermique en énergie magnétique. Ce travail retient quatre types de composés intermétalliques avec des températures de Curie dans la gamme 50-150 °C. Les composés dérivés du ternaire LaFe13-χSiχ et trois séries de composés pseudobinaires Y2Fe17-xCoχ, Fe5-xMnχSn3 et Fe5-xMnχSi3. Les résultats de la littérature montrent que, pour le type LaFe13-χSiχ, la substitution du fer par le cobalt et l’hydruration du composé permettent d’élever la TC jusqu’à la gamme ciblée. Trois nuances ont été commandées au près d’Erasteel, et mises en forme par coulage en bande après mélange avec un polymère. Les autres composés ont été synthétisés au laboratoire. Les propriétés magnétiques et thermomagnétiques des composés ayant une TC dans la gamme ciblée ont été mesurées. Trois nuances de la série Y2Fe17-xCoχ ont été synthétisées en grande quantité et mises en forme par frittage naturel et par SPS. En parallèle des travaux sur les matériaux, un démonstrateur reposant sur le principe de la roue de Curie a été fabriqué. Des simulations thermiques et magnétiques complètent ce travail. Cette dernière partie montre l’importance de la thermique dans les systèmes de récupération thermomagnétique de la chaleur / This PhD work aimed to select and shape suitable materials for thermomagnetic recovery of low energy fatal heat (T ≤ 232 °C). Thermomagnetic effect is explained as a consequence of the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the magnetization. This effect enables specific materials to convert heat into magnetic energy. This work laid emphasis on four types of intermetallic compounds with TC in 50-150 °C range. Derivatives compounds of LaFe13-χSiχ ternary alloy and three pseudo-binaries series Y2Fe17-xCoχ, Fe5-xMnχSn3 and Fe5-xMnχSi3. Publications show that, for LaFe13-χSiχ type, substitution of iron by cobalt and hydruration make the TC rise to the targeted range of temperature. Three nuances have been ordered to Erasteel and shaped by tape casting. All of the other compounds have been synthesized by ourself.Magnetic and thermomagnetic properties of compounds matching the targeted temperature range were measured. We synthesised large quantity of three nuances of Y2Fe17-xCoχ and they were sintered by thermal treatment following cold compression forming or SPS direct method. A thermomagnetic heat recovery demonstrator, relying on the Curie wheel principle, was made in the laboratory. We carried out thermal and magnetic simulations of the thermomagnetic heat recovery system. We enlightened the paramount importance of thermal engineering for the design of thermomagnetic heat recovery systems

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / In this work we detail the magnetoelastic coupling method in which the elastic term is absorbed by the exchange term allowing it to obtain additional contributions, Sadd, to the total entropy variation, by means of the dependence of the exchange parameter (T;H; P). For this purpose, we proposed the dependence of the bulk modulus with temperature, B(T), for the linear case (L-case) and Wachtman type (W-case), thus verifying that the total entropy variation , SMaxwell, is the sum of the conventional entropy variation, Sconv, with the additional contribution, that is, SMaxwell = Sconv + Sadd. In addition, we analyzed: i) the action of hydrostatic pressure on magnetic and magnetocaloric properties for both L and W cases, where there was a reduction in transition temperature, TC, a change in nature of the magnetic transition and the increase in the intensity of the magnetocaloric e ect, Siso, keeping constant the area under the curves, with increasing pressure; (ii) the action of the magnetic eld on the barocaloric properties, where an increase in TC and a reduction of the barocaloric e ect, bar iso , could be observed, constant keeping the area under the curves, with the increase of the magnetic eld, thus verifying that the barocaloric e ect is energetically more e cient under the action of low elds than the magnetocaloric e ect; and (iii) the action of the magnetic eld and the pressure simultaneously, verifying an alternative way to potentiate the magnetocaloric e ect for a wide temperature range, which makes possible to apply the results to other systems besides MnAs and their parents. Finally, an extension of the Kubo and Ohata model, similar to Bean-Rodbell, was presented for the manganites, La1-xCaxMnO3 and La2=3(Ca1-xSrx)1=3MnO3, in the presence of magnetic eld, thus describing its magnetic, magnetocaloric, barocaloric and structural properties, by means of such magnitudes as: magnetization, variation of magnetic entropy, deformation, double exchange energy and electron conduction bandwidth eg, thus showing the connectivity between these quantities in the description of the physical properties of these compounds and showing an alternative model in the theoretical study of these manganites of Lanthanum. / Neste trabalho de pesquisa detalhamos o m etodo de acoplamento magnetoel astico no qual o termo el astico e absorvido pelo termo de troca possibilitando obter contribui c~oes adicionais, Sadd, a varia c~ao de entropia total, por meio da depend^encia do par^ametro de troca (T;H; P).

Difratometria de raios-X de baixo ângulo (GAXRD) e espectroscopia de retroespalhamento Rutherford foram utilizados para determinar a estrutura do filme e sua composição elementar, respectivamente. As análises de GAXRD mostraram que a estrutura da fase de Gd, é hcp quando x ³ 0,88; e amorfa quando 0,16 £ 0,76. Uma estrutura bcc , para a fase de Cr, foi observada nos difratogramas quando x < 0,16, e amorfa quando x ³ 0,16 Para investigar as propriedades magnéticas utilizamos um magnetometro SQUID e m PPMS. O primeiro foi utilizado para as medidas de momento magnético em função do campo estático e temperatura. O PPMS foi tilizado nas investigações de susceptibilidade-AC em função da freqüência de oscilação do campo, temperatura e campo estático. A complexa natureza magnética dos filmes de Gd-Cr foi observada através das isotermas MxH, que não apresentaram saturação em baixas temperaturas, nem comportamento linear em altas temperaturas. Pela análise dos dados magnéticos, observamos que as amostras admitem um comportamento ferromagnético para x ³ 0,5 e paramagnético para as outras concentrações de Gd. A temperatura de Curie (TC) apresenta um aumento monotônico de 170 para 290 K quando x aumenta de 0,5 para 1,0. A temperatura de Curie-Weiss (q C) mostra um aumento monotônico com x. A partir das isotermas MxH a 2 K, o momento de saturação foi calculado, sendo independente de x e aproximadamente constante com um valor médio de 7,3 µB. Medidas de susceptibilidade em campos estáticos e dinâmicos revelaram a existência de comportamentos de vidros magnéticos em todas as amostras abaixo da temperat ra de freezing (Tf). Observamos, nas ligas com altas concentrações de Gd, a presença de comportamentos ferromagnéticos e cluster-glass em baixas temperaturas. Concluímos que a interação de troca entre os átomos de Gd dentro dos clusters de Gd não é do tipo RKKY, e sim do tipo supertroca. O efeito magnetocalórico (MCE) foi investigado através da variação de entropia magnética ( D SM) em função da temperatura, para a remoção de um campo de 50 kOe Curva de D SMxT para as amostras com x < 0,2 apresentaram um formato típico de superferromagneto, consistente com a existência de clusters Gd nos filmes. Nas outras amostras em que o EMC foi analisado, a presença de clusters é observada pelo comportamento dessas curvas a baixa temperatura; a altas temperaturas o comportamento de D SM com T indica fortemente a presença de mais fases magnéticas no filme. O diagrama de fase baseado em TC e Tf, e sua dependência com x é apresentado / Abstract: Vapor condensation techniques are very useful for preparation of alloys whose components have no mutual solubility under equilibrium conditions In this work, one of these techniques ¿ sputtering ¿ has been used to fabricate metastable GdXCr1-X alloys whose magnetic properties were investigated as a function of the Gd concentration, x. Grazing incidence angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy were employed to characterize the film structure and elemental composition, respectively. The GAXRD measurements revealed, for the Gd fraction, a hcp structure for x ³ 0,88; for 0,16 £ x £ 0,76 the Gd fraction was amorphous. The existence of a bcc structure for x < 0,16 was observed in the diffractograms for the Cr phase, which was amorphous for x ³ 0,16. To investigate the magnetic properties, a SQUID magnetometer and a PPMS were used. The former was employed for magnetic moment measurements as a function of applied static field and temperature. The PPMS was used for ac-susceptibility determinations as a function of the frequency of the ac driving field, temperature, and applied static field. The complex magnetic nature of the Gd-Cr films was revealed from the MxH isotherms which did not show saturation even at the lowest temperatures, and did not exhibit a linear behavior at higher temperatures. Processing of the magnetic data has shown that the films exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior for x ³ 0,5 and paramagnetic one for all other Gd concentrations. The Curie temperature (TC) increased monotonically from 170 to 290 K as x increased from 0,5 to 1,0. A monotonical increase in the Curie-Weiss temperature ( q C ) with x was also observed for all films. From the extrapolated MxH isotherm at 2 K (saturation magnetization), the saturation moments were calculated and found to be nearly constant at about 7.3 µB. Both static and dynamic susceptibility measurements revealed the existence of a magnetic glassy behavior in all alloys, occurring below a freezing temperature Tf . For the higher concentration alloys, the ferromagnetic and the cluster glass state were observed at low temperatures. It was thus concluded that the exchange interactions within Gd atoms in the clusters were not of the RKKY but of the superexchange type. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was investigated from the magnetic entropy change ( DSM) as a function of temperature, for the removal of a 50 kOe field. Samples with x < 0,2 exhibited DSMxT curves whose shapes are typical of a superferromagnet, consistently with the existence of Gd clusters in the films. For all the other alloys whose MCE was investigated, the presence of clusters is manifested from the behavior of these curves at low temperatures; at higher temperatures, the evolution of DSM with T strongly indicated the presence of more than one magnetic phase in the alloys A magnetic phase diagram based on the Tf and Tc transition temperatures and their dependence on x is presented in this thesis / Doutorado / Física da Matéria Condensada / Doutor em Ciências

<div>The global demand for energy of mankind, the ever-increasing cost of energy, and the expected depletion of fossil energy carriers within the next centuries urge the exploration of alternative and more sustainable ways to provide energy. The current quest for energy-efficient technologies for the replacement of existing cooling devices has made the magnetocaloric effect a field of current scientific interest. Cooling technologies based on magnetic refrigerants are expected to have a better environmental impact compared with those based on the gas compression-expansion cycle. This technology provides an alternative for refrigeration applications with advantages, such as high energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low power consumption. In search of promising magnetocaloric materials, several rare earth-depleted transition metal-based materials were designed and investigated.</div><div>In this work, RCrxAl2-x and RZnAl (R = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho) belonging to the ternary rare-earth transition-metal Laves phases, were chosen as the starting point to establish the effect of valence electron concentration (VEC) on the magnetic behavior and magnetocaloric effect. Our result and the results from the previously studied RTAl phases (T = Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn) shows that the perturbation of the valence electron concentration at the Fermi level is found to be the driving force that dictates the crystal structure, magnetocaloric and magnetic properties of these systems. Most notably, the decrease in the valence electron concentration at the Fermi level leads to an increase in the curie temperature.</div><div>In addition, we have further extended this theory to GdNiAl2 systems. GdNiAl2 is a known magnetocaloric material which exhibits an isothermal magnetic entropy change of ΔSM = 16.0 Jkg-1K-1 at TC = 28K under a magnetic field change from 0-5T. However, the low TC limits its application as a room temperature refrigerant. We, therefore, substituted Co for (Ni/Al) in the structure of GdNiAl2, intending to substantially perturb the position of the Fermi level of Ni since that will lead to a decrease in the VEC and hence elevate the TC. The study was also extended to another Icosagenides (Ga,), which saw the substitution of Ga for Al in GdNiAl2 and its Co substituted analogs. The Ga analogs exhibit complex magnetic behavior with a cascade (multiple) of magnetic transitions, as opposed to the rather simple magnetism of their Al congeners.</div>

<p>  </p> <p>Magnetism plays a vital role in the technologies of today, and materials used for magnetic applications largely consist of solid state phases. Intermetallic chalcogenides are one such material which have exhibited a full range of properties useful for a variety of applications requiring soft magnets, superconductors, magnetocalorics, and even rarer magnetic phenomenon such as 1D Heisenburg magnetic chains. Solid state chemists continue to develop new synthesis methods for chalcogenides as they produce both new phases and modifications of existing phases, usually with the express intent of improving their physical and chemical properties. Low dimensional chalcogenides often have predictable structure-property relationships which when understood aids in these efforts of optimizing existing materials.</p> <p>In this work, we have synthesized novel, low-dimensional Tl1-xAxFe3Te3 (A = K, Na)-based magnetocalorics for magnetic refrigeration technologies utilizing a variety of synthetic methods. Doping of alkali metals into the thallium site simultaneously reduces the toxicity and cost of the material, and also modifies their crystal structures leading to changes in their magnetic properties including ordering temperature, magnetic anisotropy, magnetic hysteresis, coercivity, and magnetic entropies. Most notably, the magnetic ordering temperature has been boosted from 220 K of the prior known TlFe3Te3 phase up to 233 K in the new Tl0.68Na0.32Fe2.76Te3.32 phase, further towards room temperature which is required for the commercialization of magnetic refrigerants for home appliances. There exist strong magnetostructural correlations for most of the alterations in the magnetic properties, and relationships have been modelled where trends exist to match the magnetism to the changes in the unit cell of the structure.</p> <p>New synthetic methods were also developed for the ternary TBi4S7 (T = transition metal) phase which exhibits a pseudo-1D structure of Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains. These synthetic techniques resulted in more consistent high purity of phases than methods reported previously in literature. Attempts at synthesizing new phases were made, and crystallographic and composition analysis methods suggested the synthesis of a new Mn1-xCoxBi4S7 phase, though magnetic impurities prevented characterization of this new material’s magnetic properties. </p>

Le rôle du désordre sur les phases onde de densité de spin induites par le champ magnétique (ODSIC) a été étudié sur un monocristal de (TMTSF)2ClO4. Les propriétés à basse température de ce conducteur organique quasi-unidimensionnel dépendent de la vitesse de refroidissement au passage de la transition de mise en ordre des anions qu'il subit à 24 kelvins. Nous avons utilisé cet effet de cinétique pour contrôler le taux de désordre dans l'échantillon. Nos investigations ont été effectuées à l'aide de mesures calorimétriques: d'une part, des mesures simultanées de la chaleur spécifique et de l'effet magnétocalorique en champ variable, et d'autre part, des mesures de la chaleur spécifique en champ fixe. Nous avons mis en évidence un nouveau comportement multicritique en un point de la ligne de transition du second ordre, qui sépare la phase métallique et les sous-phases ODSIC. La criticité de ce point passe de "tétracritique" à bicritique lorsque le désordre augmente. Le point "tétracritique" peut être interprété comme le résultat de la superposition de deux sous phases-ODSIC adjacentes. Nous rapportons aussi un effet de dépairage de paires électron-trou induit par le désordre non magnétique Ce dépairage diffère du comportement universel. De plus l'écart par rapport à ce dernier dépend du champ magnétique. Enfin il n'est pas monotone en fonction du champ. Par ailleurs, les mesures que nous avons effectuées montrent que la mise en ordre des anions n'influence pas directement les réentrances partielles de l'état métallique dans les sous-phases ODSIC entre 3 et 7 teslas. Ceci permet de penser que, dans ce domaine de champs magnétiques, la bande interdite ouverte dans le spectre d'énergie du fait de la mise en ordre des anions ne serait pas directement responsable des réentrances.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden vor allem das Auftreten und der Mechanismus von feldinduzierten Übergängen und der damit verbundenen kritischen Felder untersucht. Die verwendete Magnetisierungsmessmethode ist auf die bestehende Impulsfeldanlage des IFW Dresden abgestimmt. Die Magnetisierung in Feldern bis zu 48 T wurde gemessen. Erstmals wurde für Sm2Fe17N3 der Anisotropiekoeffizient aus der Kombination der Messung des Austauschfeldes mittels inelastischer Neutronenstreuung und der Messung der Anisotropiekonstanten K1 am gleichen Material bestimmt. Für den führenden Anisotropiekoeffizienten konnte mit K1 von rund 13 MJ/m³ der Wert A20&amp;lt;r²&amp;gt; = -28 meV bestimmt werden. Der in SmCo2,5Cu2,5 und SmCo2Cu3 beobachtete Hochfeldübergang konnte mit der Mikrostruktur verknüpft werden. Die laminare Mikrostruktur bestehend aus Phasen mit unterschiedlichem Sm-Anteil ist eine notwendige Bedingung für das Auftreten des Übergangs. Das Koerzitivfeld steigt mit dem Kupfergehalt und erreicht bei tiefen Temperaturen sehr hohe Werte. Das Koerzitivfeld und das Übergangsfeld zeigen eine große magnetische Viskosität. In DyFe6Al6 wird das Verschwinden der spontanen Magnetisierung bei tiefen Temperaturen durch starke antiferromagnetische Kopplungen verursacht. Durch ein feldinduziertes magnetisches Moment an einem ungeordneten Kristallgitterplatz könnte der magnetische Übergang bei tiefen Temperaturen erklärt werden. An hexagonalem DyMn6Ge6 wurde erstmals der Temperaturverlauf des Übergangsfeldes zur gekanteten antiferromagnetischen Struktur gemessen. Oberhalb von 100 K ruft das angelegte Feld den Übergang von der helimagnetischen zu einer Fächerstruktur hervor. Bei tiefen Temperaturen tritt ein Spinflop-Übergang auf, der durch die magnetische Anisotropie des Dysprosiumions unterstützt wird. Bei magnetokalorischen Materialien zeigt sich eine Abhängigkeit der gemessenen Magnetisierung von der Feldänderungsrate. Dies lässt sich qualitativ auf die Messbedingungen zurückführen: So herrschen bei Impulsfeldmessungen adiabatische Bedingungen, während bei statischen Messungen isotherme Verhältnisse vorliegen. Neben herkömmlichen magnetischen Verbindungen wurden auch stark korrelierte Elektronensysteme untersucht. Der gefundene Magnetisierungsübergang bei 43 T in CeNi2Ge2 lässt sich auf das Unterdrücken des Kondoeffekts und das Aufbrechen der antiferromagnetischen Struktur zurückführen. Darüber hinaus wurden Magnetisierungsmessungen an Hochtemperatursupraleitern durchgeführt. Die Messungen im Impulsfeld sind ein Beitrag zur Bestimmung des Phasendiagramms von schmelztexturiertem YBa2Cu3O7-d. Das Irreversibilitätsfeld Hirr konnte an massiven Proben bis zu tiefen Temperaturen bestimmt werden. Hirr(T) zeigt einen unerwarteten linearen Anstieg bis zu tiefen Temperaturen. Aufgrund der hohen Feldänderungsraten und großen Unterschiede von Ummagnetisierungsprozessen in magnetischen Materialien gibt es derzeit keine einheitliche Beschreibung der magnetischen Viskosität für Feldänderungsraten im Bereich von 0,001 bis zu 1000 T/s. Durch die Messung im Impulsfeld konnte die Größenordnung der magnetischen Viskosität in nanokristallinem Bariumferrit bestimmt werden. Magnetisierungsmessungen im Impulsfeld stellen sowohl durch das hohe Magnetfeld als auch aufgrund der hohen bzw. variierenden Feldänderungsrate ein sehr nützliches Instrument zur Untersuchung feld- und zeitabhängiger Eigenschaften von Festkörpern dar. / In this work, the occurrence and the mechanism of field induced transitions and the related critical fields were investigated. The way of measuring the magnetisation was designed for the existing pulsed field device of the IFW Dresden. The magnetisation was measured in fields up to 48 T. For the first time, the anisotropy coefficient of Sm2Fe17N3 was obtained in the combined measurement of the exchange field via inelastic neutron scattering and the measurement of the anisotropy constant K1 for the same material. For the leading anisotropy coefficient, a value of A20&amp;lt;r²&amp;gt; = -28 meV was found using K1 of about 13 MJ/m³. It was shown that the observed high field transition in SmCo2.5Cu2.5 and SmCo2Cu3 is connected with the microstructure. The laminar microstructure consisting of phases with different Sm-content is a necessary precondition for the occurrence of the transition. The coercivity increases with the Cu-content and reaches high values at low temperature. The coercivity and the transition field show big magnetic viscosity. In DyFe6Al6, the disappearance of the spontaneous magnetisation at low temperature is caused by a strong antiferromagnetic coupling. The magnetic transition at low temperature could be explained by a field induced magnetic moment on a disordered crystal site. For the hexagonal DyMn6Ge6, the temperature dependence of the transition field towards the canted antiferromagnetic structure was measured for the first time. Above 100 K, the applied field causes the transition from the helimagnetic to the fan structure. At low temperature, a spin flop transition occurs, which is supported by the magnetic anisotropy of the Dy-ion. The magnetisation of magnetocaloric materials exhibits a dependence of the field changing rate. This can be explained qualitatively by the measurement condition: The pulsed field measurement is adiabatic, whereas during static measurements, the condition is isothermal. Besides common magnetic compounds, highly correlated electron systems were also investigated. The magnetic transition at 43 T in CeNi2Ge2 can be explained by the suppression of the Kondo effect and the breaking up of the antiferromagnetic structure. Furthermore, magnetisation of high temperature superconductors was measured. The measurements in the pulsed field are a contribution to the determination of the phase diagram of melt textured YBa2Cu3O7-d. The irreversibility field Hirr was measured for bulk samples down to low temperature. Hirr(T) shows an unexpected linear increase down to low temperature. Because of the high field-changing rates and the big differences of magnetisation processes in magnetic materials, there is no uniform description of the magnetic viscosity for field changing rates in the magnitude from 0,001 up to 1000 T/s. By the measurement in the pulsed field, the magnitude of the magnetic viscosity of nanocrystalline barium ferrite was determined. Magnetisation measurement in pulsed fields is a very useful instrument to investigate field and time dependent properties of solids due to their high magnetic field and their high and varying field changing rate.
