Hyper texturation {100} <001> de substrats NiW pour câbles supraconducteurs / Hyper texturation {100 <001>} of NiW substrates for superconductor cables

Mikolajczyk, Mélissa 10 December 2012 (has links)
La seconde génération de rubans supraconducteurs utilisant une couche déposée et épitaxiée de supraconducteur YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) est étudiée de façon intense (coated conductors). Une architecture simple à bas coût a été choisie, avec une seule couche tampon de La2Zr2O7 (LZO), épitaxiée sur un ruban de Ni95W5 texturé bi-axialement. L’objectif de cette thèse était d’identifier les paramètres pertinents du processus de texturation sur des rubans d’alliage Ni95W5 laminés par APERAM à partir d’une coulée industrielle et ceux contrôlant l’épitaxie de la couche tampon de (LZO). Le rôle de la fonctionnalisation du substrat pour l’épitaxie de cet oxyde sur la surface du métal a été en particulier étudié. Parallèlement, la faisabilité d’un procédé de recuit de texturation et de fonctionnalisation du substrat métallique au défilé, en vue d’un traitement continu pour un développement industriel, a été étudiée. / The second generation of superconducting tapes using a deposited layer and epitaxialsuperconductor YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) is studied intensively (coated conductors). A simple lowcostarchitecture was chosen, with one buffer layer La2Zr2O7 (LZO), epitaxially grown on aribbon of biaxially textured Ni95W5. The aim of this thesis was to identify the relevant processparameters texturing ribbons Ni95W5 alloy rolled by APERAM from an industrial casting, andthose controlling the epitaxial buffer layer (LZO). The role of the functionalization of thesubstrate for epitaxy of the oxide on the metal surface has been particularly studied. Meanwhile,the feasibility of an annealing process and functionalization texturing of the metal substrate rollto roll, in view of a continuous treatment for an industrial development, was studied.

Nanostructured Assemblies Based On Metal Colloids And Monolayers: Preparation, Characterisation And Studies Towards Novel Applications

Devarajan, Supriya 07 1900 (has links)
Nanoscience dominates virtually every field of science and technology in the 21st century. Nanoparticles are of fundamental interest since they possess unique size- dependent properties (optical, electrical, mechanical, chemical, magnetic etc.), which are quite different from the bulk and the atomic state. Bimetallic nanoparticles are of particular interest since they combine the advantages of the individual monometallic counterparts. The present study focuses on bimetallic nanoparticles containing gold as one of the constituents. Au-Pd, Au-Pt and Au-Ag bimetallic/alloy nanoparticles have been prepared by four different synthetic methods, and characterised by a variety of techniques, with an emphasis on Au-Ag alloy systems in the solution phase as well as in the form of nanostructured films on solid substrates. Au- Ag alloy nanoparticles have been used to demonstrate two different applications. The first is the use of Au-Ag monolayer protected alloy clusters in demonstrating single electron charging events in the solution phase as well as in the dry state. Single electron transfer events involving nanosized particles are being probed extensively due to their potential applications in the field of electronics. The second is an analytical application, involving the use of trisodium citrate capped Au-Ag alloy hydrosols as substrates for surface enhanced Raman and resonance Raman scattering [SE(R)RS] studies. The sols have been used for single molecule detection purposes. Various organic molecules such as quinones, phthalocyanines and methyl violet have been self- assembled in a stepwise manner on the nanoparticulate as well as bulk Au, Ag and Au-Ag surfaces, and characterised extensively by spectroscopic, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques.

Grain boundary networks in RABiTS based YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] coated conductors / Korngrenzennetzwerke in YBa2Cu3O7[-delta]-Bandleitern auf RABiT Substraten

Fernández Gómez-Recuero, Laura 19 March 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis deals with the transport properties and critical current limitations found in YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] coated conductors prepared by the &amp;quot;rolling assisted biaxially textured substrate&amp;quot; (RABiTS) approach. For this purpose a buffer layer system composed of CeO2 and yttria-stabilised zirconia, and subsequently a YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] film were epitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition on a biaxially textured metallic substrate. The resulting texture of the YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] film is crucial for the achievement of high critical current densities. A propagation of the granular structure of the metallic substrate into the YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] film was detected, which leads to the formation of a YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] grain boundary network and limits the critical current density of the samples. In order to study this limitation, critical current measurements were performed on the prepared samples at different temperatures and magnetic fields, detecting a transition between intergrain and intragrain current limitation that occurs at the so-called crossover magnetic field. The crossover magnetic field was found to shift to lower values as the temperature was increased. It was concluded that the grain boundary network limits the critical current density of the YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] coated conductor only for magnetic fields below the crossover field. / In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden Transporteigenschaften und die Limitierung der kritischen Stromdichte von YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] Bandleitern untersucht. Für die Präparation wird das epitaktische Schichtwachstum auf biaxial texturierten Substraten genutzt (RABiTS-Technik). Dabei wird mittels gepulster Laserdeposition eine Pufferschicht aus CeO2 und Yttrium-stabilisiertem Zirkonoxyd (YSZ) und anschließend eine YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] Schicht epitaktisch auf ein Substrat aufgebracht. Die resultierende biaxiale Textur der YBa2Cu3O7[-delta]-Schicht spielt eine Hauptrolle, um möglichst hohe Stromdichten zu erreichen. Es zeigte sich, daß die granulare Struktur des Substrates in die YBa2Cu3O7[-delta]-Schicht übertragen wird und zur Ausbildung eines Korngrenzennetzwerkes führt, welches wiederum die zu erwartende kritische Stromdichte begrenzt. Um die Wirkung des Korngrenzennetzwerkes zu untersuchen, wurden kritische Ströme der gewachsenen Schichten in Abhängigkeit der Temperatur und des angelegten Magnetfeldes gemessen. Es stellte sich heraus, daß die Limitierung des Stroms bei schwachen Magnetfeldern zwischen den einzelnen Körnern bestimmend ist, die dann bei größeren Feldern einer Strombegrenzung innerhalb der Körner weicht. Das beide Bereiche trennende Magnetfeld wird als Übergangsfeld bezeichnet. Daraus kann geschlußfolgert werden, daß das Korngrenzennetzwerk von YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] Bandleitern den Strom nur für magnetische Felder unterhalb des Übergangsfeldes begrenzt.
