Theoretical methods for the electronic structure and magnetism of strongly correlated materialsLocht, Inka L. M. January 2017 (has links)
In this work we study the interesting physics of the rare earths, and the microscopic state after ultrafast magnetization dynamics in iron. Moreover, this work covers the development, examination and application of several methods used in solid state physics. The first and the last part are related to strongly correlated electrons. The second part is related to the field of ultrafast magnetization dynamics. In the first part we apply density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory within the Hubbard I approximation to describe the interesting physics of the rare-earth metals. These elements are characterized by the localized nature of the 4f electrons and the itinerant character of the other valence electrons. We calculate a wide range of properties of the rare-earth metals and find a good correspondence with experimental data. We argue that this theory can be the basis of future investigations addressing rare-earth based materials in general. In the second part of this thesis we develop a model, based on statistical arguments, to predict the microscopic state after ultrafast magnetization dynamics in iron. We predict that the microscopic state after ultrafast demagnetization is qualitatively different from the state after ultrafast increase of magnetization. This prediction is supported by previously published spectra obtained in magneto-optical experiments. Our model makes it possible to compare the measured data to results that are calculated from microscopic properties. We also investigate the relation between the magnetic asymmetry and the magnetization. In the last part of this work we examine several methods of analytic continuation that are used in many-body physics to obtain physical quantities on real energies from either imaginary time or Matsubara frequency data. In particular, we improve the Padé approximant method of analytic continuation. We compare the reliability and performance of this and other methods for both one and two-particle Green's functions. We also investigate the advantages of implementing a method of analytic continuation based on stochastic sampling on a graphics processing unit (GPU).

X-ray spectroscopic and magnetic investigations of selected manganese-containing molecularhigh-spin complexesPrinz, Manuel 08 July 2009 (has links)
The presented thesis includes investigations to fully characterize the electronic structure and magnetic properties ofselected manganese containing high-spin molecules by means of various X-ray spectroscopic, magnetic and theoretical methods. The investigations on the Mn4 star-shaped molecule havelead to a number of interesting results. Magneto-chemical studies exhibit very weak exchange coupling constantsbetween the four Mn(II) ions, leading to complicated low lying states in which the ground state is not well separated, resulting from a dominant weak ferromagnetic coupling and a giant moment of up to 20 µB/f.u. XMCD measurements revealed that almost the completemagnetic moment is located around the Mn(II) ions.This is in agreement with only a few charge transfer states foundwithin the detailed X-ray absorption spectroscopic study. The electronic structure and detailed magnetic properties of the star-shaped heteronuclear CrIIIMnII3 complex have been precisely investigated.With XPS the homovalency of Mn and Cr have been verified. The XA-spectra of the manganese and chromium L edges were measured and compared to earlier investigated Mn4 spectra.The combination high-magnetic field magnetic measurements and element selective XMCD of Mn and Cr L edges and quantum model calculations lead to a complete analysis of the magnetic structure of the CrMn3 magnetic core. The III valence state of the manganese ions in MnIII6O2Salox has been verified. From X-ray diffraction, typical Jahn-Teller distorted oxygen octahedra have been found for Mn(III) ions. Comparisons of XPS and XAS spectra of the complex to corresponding spectraof maganite and tetranuclear manganese(II) cluster it was definitely possible to identify MnIII6O2Salox as a pure Mn(III) compound.

Electronic and magnetic properties of transition metal compounds: An x-ray spectroscopic studyKüpper, Karsten 15 July 2005 (has links)
The aim of the present work was to develop a detailed picture of the electronic and magnetic properties of a number of interesting transition metal compounds. A number of complementary experimental and theoretical techniques have been applied, special emphasis was given to x-ray spectroscopies. The studies led to a number of results, and the following conclusions can be drawn:
The influence of the magnetic ground state (high-spin (FeO) vs. low-spin (FeS2)) with respect to the recorded x-ray spectra was investigated. In particular, by performing RXES on the Fe L edge of the two compounds, very different ratios of La / Lβ integrated intensity for excitation energies close to the L2 edge have been observed. This effect has been explained in terms of the magnetic structure of FeO (high spin), which inhibits Coster-Kronig processes.
Special attention has been given to the direct investigation of orbital ordering in a three dimensional CMR manganite, namely La7/8Sr1/8MnO3, by means of x-ray linear dichroism (XLD). We obtained, for the first time, rather strong indications that the coherently distorted Jahn-Teller phase in La7/8Sr1/8MnO3 is accompanied by a predominantly cross type (x2-z2) / (y2-z2) orbital ordering.
In addition to manganites the double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 the combined study by means of x-ray spectroscopies, magnetic measurements and theoretical band structure calculations could resolve some points discussed controversially in the literature. Both, paramagnetic measurements as well as core level spectroscopy of the Fe 2p, Fe 3s and the Mo 3d states suggest a mixed iron valence state involving around 30% Fe3+- Mo5+ and 70% Fe2+ - Mo6+ states in highly ordered Sr2FeMoO6. XPS valence band studies reveal that the Fe 3d states are not extremely localized, and we find evidence that charge transfer between Fe 3d and O 2p states plays an essential role.

The subject of this work subscribes to the international preoccupation regarding the elucidation of magnetic properties of solids. The crystallographic, electronic and magnetic structures of Al-Mn-Ni alloys and compounds have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and band structure calculations. The thesis is organized in 6 Chapters, followed by the summary. Chapter 1 contains a brief theoretical introduction into the magnetism of metallic systems, as well the principles of XPS. The sample preparation details and all the techniques employed in the characterization of the systems are described in Chapter 2. The next 4 Chapters contain the experimental results for Mn1-xAlxNi3, Mn1-xAlxNi, Ni1-xMnxAl, Ni0.7-xAlxMn0.3 systems.

Electronic properties of metal-organic and organic-organic interfaces studied by photoemission and photoabsorption spectroscopyMolodtsova, Olga 18 July 2007 (has links)
In this work systematic studies of the organic semiconductor CuPc have been presented. In general the investigation can be devided in three parts. In the first one we have studied the electronic structure of clean CuPc thin film. The next two parts are devoted to organic-organic and metal–organic interface formation, where one of the interface components is CuPc thin film. The main results of this thesis are: - The electronic structure of the pristine organic semiconductor CuPc (valence band and empty states) has been obtained by a combination of conventional and resonant photoemission, near-edge X-ray absorption, as well as by theoretical ab initio quantum-chemical calculations. A qualitative assignment of different VB structures has been given, or in other words the contributions of different atomic species as well as sites of the CuPc molecule to the electronic DOS has been established. In particular, it was shown, that the HOMO is mainly comprised of the spectral weights from the orbitals of carbon pyrolle atoms. Additional contributions to the HOMO stems from the benzene atoms. A combined experimental and theoretical study of the unoccupied electronic density of states of CuPc was presented. Our study allows identifying the contributions from different parts of the molecule to the unoccupied DOS and the measured spectra, which lays grounds for future studies of the evolution of the CuPc electronic states upon e.g. functionalization or doping. Application of similar studies to other organic semiconductors will also provide significant insight into their unoccupied electronic states. - The electronic properties of the organic heterointerfaces between fullerite and pristine copper phthalocyanine were studied. Both interfaces, CuPc/C60 and C60/CuPc, were found to be non-reactive with pronounced shifts of the vacuum level pointing to the formation of an interfacial dipole mainly at the CuPc side of the heterojunctions. The dipole values are close to the difference of the work functions of the two materials. Important interface parameters and hole-injection barriers were obtained. The sequence of deposition does not influence the electronic properties of the interfaces. - CuPc doped with potassium was studied by means of photoemission and photoabsorption spectroscopy. A detailed analysis of the core-level PE spectra allows one to propose possible lattice sites, which harbor the potassium ions. Contrasting to a few results reported in the literature, the films prepared in this thesis showed no finite electronic density of states at the Fermi level. - Two stages of the In/CuPc interface formation have been distinguished. The low-coverage stage is characterized by a strong diffusion of the In atoms into the organic film. Metal ions occupy sites close to the pyrolle nitrogen and strongly interact with molecules transferring negative charge to CuPc. Indium diffusion into the organic films saturates at a stoichiometry of In2CuPc. Subsequently, in the second stage the formation of a metallic indium film occurs on the top of the In2CuPc film. - Upon deposition on CuPc film Sn and Ag atoms do not diffuse into the organic film forming metallic clusters and/or thin metallic overlayer. Sharp metal-organic film interface is formed, in contrast to indium and potassium deposition. Presented experimental results also give evidence for absence of noticeable chemical reaction of Sn and Ag with CuPc thin film. - The systematic investigation of interface formation between CuPc thin film and various metals gives us the possibility to summarize all results with demonstrating similarities and differences for all systems studied.

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.

Investigation of the growth process of thin iron oxide films: Analysis of X-ray Photoemission Spectra by Charge Transfer Multiplet calculationsSuendorf, Martin 19 December 2012 (has links)
Thin metallic films with magnetic properties like magnetite are an interesting material in current technological applications. In the presented work the iron oxide films are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on MgO(001) substrates at temperatures between room temperature and 600K. The film and surface structure are investigated by x-ray reflectometry (XRR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). The chemical properties are investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, charge transfer multiplet (CTM) calculations are performed as a means to gain additional information from photoemission spectra. It is shown that only for temperatures higher than 500K the oxide film forms a spinel structure. A previously unobserved (2x1) surface reconstruction in two orthogonal domains is found for various preparation conditions. The application of CTMs results in good quantitative and qualitative agreement to other methods for the determination of the film stoichiometry. In addition CTMs can well describe the segregation of Mg atoms into the oxide film either during film growth or during film annealing. It is found that initially Mg substitutes Fe on all possible lattice sites, only for prolonged treatment at high temperature do Mg atoms favour the octahedral lattice sites of divalent Fe.
