Les nanotubes de carbone (CNT) à basse température se comportent comme des points quantiques pour lesquelles les niveaux électroniques deviennent quantifiés. Le transport électronique à travers une jonction-CNT est caractérisé par le phénomène de blocage de Coulomb, dont les spécificités dépendent du couplage entre le nanotube et les électrodes métalliques. Le blocage de Coulomb est extrêmement sensible au moindre changement électrostatique, faisant des jonctions-CNT de précis électromètres. Par exemple, si l'on couple un système magnétique à un nanotube, le transport électronique sera influencé par l'état de spin du système magnétique (effet magnéto-Coulomb). Ce projet de thèse présente des mesures de transport électrique sur un système hybride se composant d'un nanotube de carbone rempli de nanoparticules magnétiques (Fe). Ces mesures, réalisées à très basses températures (40 mK), ont permis de mettre en évidence le comportement hystérétique de la conductance en fonction du champ magnétique, et en particulier la présence de saut de conductance à champ magnétique fini. Nous expliquons ces résultats en termes d'effet magnéto-Coulomb : le renversement d'aimantation des particules de fer à champ magnétique fini provoquant une variation de charge effective due à l'effet Zeeman. Ces mesures sont une étape vers l'étude de l'anisotropie magnétique de nanoparticules individuelles. / Carbon Nanotubes at low temperature behave as Quantum Dots for which charging processes become quantized, giving rise to Coulomb Blockade depending upon the coupling to the leads. Any small change in the electrostatic environment (tuned by the gate electrode) can induce shift of the stability diagram (so called Coulomb Diamonds) of the device, leading to conductivity variation of the Quantum Dot. A carbon nanotube can therefore be a very accurate electrometer. For example, if a magnetic system is electronically coupled to a nanotube, its electron conduction may be influenced by the spin state of the magnetic system (magneto- Coulomb effect). In this thesis, we report on the electrical transport measurements of such hybrid systems where a carbon nanotube is filled with magnetic nanoparticles such as Iron(Fe). We find that low-temperature (~40mK) current-voltage measurements of such devices can show a hysteretic behaviour in conductance with sharp jumps at certain magnetic fields. We explain the results in terms of the magneto-Coulomb effect where the spin flip of the iron island at non-zero magnetic field causes an effective charge variation in the Nanotube due to the Zeeman energy. Our studies are a step forward towards the study of the magnetic anisotropy of individual nanoparticles. We believe our findings have important implications for sensitive magnetic detectors to study the magnetization reversal of individual magnetic nanoparticle or molecule, even weakly coupled to a carbon nanotube.

Les fonctions magnétiques sont aujourd'hui omniprésentes dans les systèmes Lab-on-Chip. Une découverte surprenante est que tandis que la recherche Lab-on-Chip se concentre sur la miniaturisation, les fonctions magnétiques sur puce sont généralement assurées par des aimants centimétriques. Comparés à ces aimants centimétriques, les champs générés par les micro-aimants bénéficient de lois d'échelle conduisant à des gradients de champ considérablement amplifiés et donc à des forces magnétiques proportionnellement accrues. Le but de cette thèse était de démontrer le potentiel des Lab-on-Chips à base de micro-aimants. Les micro-aimants haute performance ont été intégrés avec succès dans les matériaux Lab-on-Chip les plus pertinents, y compris le polymère, le silicium et le papier. Nous avons étudié des fonctions sur puce basées sur l'interaction de structures mécaniques et de micro-aimants actionnés par des gradients magnétiques, des forces et des couples. Enfin, nous avons simulé, fabriqué et testé une variété de nouvelles puces couvrant un large champ d'applications telles que les études cellulaires-mécaniques, la magnétophorèse, la manipulation de fluides sur puce et le diagnostic auprès du patient. Nous concluons que les micro-aimants intégrés présentent un grand potentiel pour les applications de laboratoire sur puce et devraient être plus largement exploités. / Magnetic functions are nowadays ubiquitous in Lab-on-Chip systems. A surprising finding is that while Lab-on-Chip research focalizes on miniaturization, on-chip magnetic functions are usually driven by centimetric magnets. Compared to those centimetric magnets, fields generated by micro-magnets benefit from scaling laws leading to dramatically increased field gradients and thus proportionally improved magnetic forces. The aim of this thesis was to demonstrate the potential of micro-magnet based Lab-on-Chips. High-performance micro-magnets were successfully integrated in the most relevant Lab-on-Chip materials including polymer, silicon and paper. We studied on-chip functions based on the interaction of mechanic structures and micro-magnets actuated by magnetic gradients, forces and torque. Finally, we simulated, fabricated and tested a variety of new chips covering a large field of applications such as cell-mechanics studies, magnetophoresis, on-chip fluid handling and Point-of-Care diagnostics. We conclude that integrated micro-magnets show great potential for lab-on-chip applications and should be more widely exploited.

The alloys showed excellent magnetic properties: relative remanence Mn/ Ms :2; 0.6 and coercive fields ranging from 5 to 20 k0e, depending upon the amount of Fe present. Henkel plots were used in order to study magnetic interactions in these alloys. The influence of the interactions and the demagnetized state on the Henkel plots was also studied.

Le néodyme appartient à la série des lanthanides se trouvant dans le tableau périodique. Il est le composant clé des aimants permanents Nd2Fe14B implantés dans différents appareils électroniques mais aussi dans appareils dis « écologiques » comme les éoliennes, les voitures ou vélos électriques. De nos jours seulement 1 % du néodyme présent dans les déchets électroniques est recyclé. De fortes tensions géopolitiques ainsi que la croissance rapide de la demande pour ce type d’aimants conduisent à d’importantes spéculations et fluctuations sur le prix du néodyme aggravées par l’appauvrissement annoncé de la ressource.Depuis quelques décennies, plusieurs procédés de recyclage du néodyme ont été développés au niveau des laboratoires sans avoir été utilisés à l’échelle industrielle. Les procédés existants ont plusieurs désavantages comme un grand nombre d’étapes avant d’obtenir le produit final ou encore l’utilisation de grandes quantités de produits chimiques.Le but de ces recherches est le développement d’un procédé pyrochimique pouvant être une alternative à ceux déjà existants. Ce procédé permettrait de récupérer le néodyme sous sa forme métallique en seulement une étape. Pour atteindre cet objet, il a fallu élaborer un réacteur pouvant résister à de hautes températures ainsi qu’aux sels fondus pouvant être corrosifs selon leur composition. Par la suite, les propriétés électrochimiques du néodyme ont été étudiées dans différents sels fondus à base de chlorures et de fluorures afin trouver la configuration optimale pour l’extraction du néodyme contenu dans les aimants permanents.Nous avons ainsi prouvé qu’il était possible d’extraire le néodyme sous sa forme métallique contenu dans de vieux aimants permanents en une seule étape durant une électrolyse. / Neodymium belongs to the lanthanide’s serie of the period system and is the key component of the permanent magnets Nd2Fe14B which are implemented in electronic devices and “green” technologies like wind turbines or electric cars and bicycles. Nowadays, only one percent of the neodymium in electronic scraps is recycled. Due to the geopolitical considerations and a strong increase of the use of permanent magnets, there is an impoverishment of the raw material resources leading to an instable market.Since some decades, few recycling processes have been developed on a lab scale without any upscaling to the industrial scale. The existing processes have several drawbacks like multiple steps to obtain the final desired product. This means that these methods have a long process time or use a large amount of chemical productsThe aim of this research was the development of a pyrochemical process, which could be an alternative to the existing recycling processes in order to extract neodymium from electronic scraps with less steps, a smaller amount of chemical products and a higher recovery rate of the rare neodymium. For this purpose a special reaction chamber has been created which resists to the severe experimental conditions induced by the use of high temperatures and corrosive molten salts. Moreover the electrochemical behaviour of neodymium in different chloride- and fluoride-based molten salts was studied in order to find the most appropriated setup.We could prove that the pyrochemical method could be the solution to recover neodymium from the old permanent magnets under its metallic form in just one single reaction step during an electrolysis.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Zusammenhänge zwischen der magnetischen Mikrostruktur und der Ausrichtung der Kristallite, sowohl in Sintermagneten als auch in feinkristallinen, warmumgeformten Magneten auf Nd2Fe14B- und Pr2Fe14B-Basis, untersucht. Die EBSD-Technik (electron backscatter diffraction) wurde für Sintermagnete und für feinkristalline, warmumgeformte Magnete auf Nd2Fe14B-Basis erstmals erfolgreich eingesetzt, um eine quantitative Texturanalyse durchzuführen. Die Polfiguren des hoch texturierten Sintermagneten bzw. warmumgeformten Magneten zeigen eine stark ausgeprägte [001] Fasertextur. Aus dem Vergleich von REM-, EBSD- und Kerr-Untersuchungen an ein- und derselben Probenoberfläche der Sintermagnete konnte quantitativ gezeigt werden, wie die Domänenstruktur von der individuellen Orientierung der Nd2Fe14B-Körner abhängt. Die Domänenstruktur der hoch texturierten Sintermagnete weist auf eine starke magnetostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen den Kristalliten hin. In den Heißpresslingen und in den warmumgeformten Magneten auf Nd2Fe14B-Basis und Pr2Fe14B-Basis wurden Wechselwirkungsdomänen mittels Magnetkraftmikroskopie nachgewiesen. Die Wechselwirkungsdomänen, deren Größe stark vom Umformgrad abhängt, sind immer größer als die einzelnen Kristallite. Die Bildung der Wechselwirkungsdomänen wurde auf magnetostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen den Kristalliten zurückgeführt, was mit Hilfe der Wohlfarth-Analyse der Remanenzverhältnisse bestätigt werden konnte. Die magnetische Mikrostruktur der warmumgeformten Magnete wurde mit einem Modell, das auf der Bildung von Ketten magnetischer Momente (parallel zur Kettenachse) beruht, beschrieben. Unterhalb der Temperatur des Spinumorientierungsüberganges der Nd2Fe14B-Phase weisen die Sintermagnete rechteckige Domänenmuster auf. Diese magnetische Mikrostruktur wird durch eine spezifische Verteilung der Domänenwände in Bezug auf Änderungen der magnetischen Anisotropie ausgebildet. Im Gegensatz dazu ändern sich die Wechselwirkungsdomänen in dem warmumgeformten Magneten nicht, was auf die starke magnetostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen den Kristalliten zurückgeführt wurde. / In this work, the correlation between magnetic domain structure and grain alignment in sintered and die-upset magnets, based on Nd2Fe14B and Pr2Fe14B compounds, is investigated. For the first time, EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) has been successfully applied to conduct a quantitative analysis of the texture of sintered and die-upset Nd2Fe14B magnets. Pole figures of the highly textured sintered and die-upset magnets show a strong [001] fiber texture. By a comparison of SEM, EBSD and Kerr images of the same surface of sintered magnets it was possible to correlate the domain structure of individual grains to their orientation. The domain structure of the highly textured sintered magnet indicates to the presence of a strong magnetostatic interaction between individual grains. Interaction domains have been studied in hot-pressed und die-upset magnets based on Nd2Fe14B and Pr2Fe14B compounds by MFM. The lateral expansion of interaction domains is always larger than grain size and depends from the degree of deformation. The formation of interaction domains is attributed to magnetostatic interaction between individual grains, which has been confirmed by a Wohlfarth’s analysis of the remanence ratio. The magnetic domain structure of die-upset magnets can be described by a model, based on the formation of chains of magnetic moments parallel to the chain direction. Below the spinreorientation temperature of the Nd2Fe14B phase, sintered magnets show a rectangular domain structure. This domain structure is formed by a specific domain wall distribution corresponding to changes of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. In contrast to this, the interaction domains in the die-upset magnets show no changes below the spinreorientation temperature, what can be also ascribed to the magnetostatic interaction between individual grains.
