Oscillations quantiques magnétiques dans les systèmes de basse dimensionnalité.<br />Etude de la symétrie de l'état supraconducteur dans le composé UPt3.

Champel, T. 29 October 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Dans une première partie, nous développons la théorie analytique des effets de Haas-van Alphen (oscillations d'aimantation) et Shubnikov-de Haas (oscillations de magnétorésistance) dans les systèmes électroniques quasi-bidimensionnels, qui sont constitués de couches très bonnes conductrices avec une faible dispersion des quasi-particules entre les plans. Nous montrons que l'application d'un champ magnétique perpendiculairement aux couches a pour effet de réduire la dimensionnalité apparente du système. A fort champ magnétique, le comportement des oscillations d'aimantation est proche de celui d'un gaz d'électrons bidimensionnel. Nous étudions en détail l'influence des oscillations du potentiel chimique sur la forme des oscillations de Haas-van Alphen en présence d'une ou de plusieurs bandes d'états au niveau de Fermi. Nous dérivons également une expression pour les oscillations d'aimantation dans l'état mixte supraconducteur. Nous calculons enfin les oscillations de la magnétorésistance longitudinale dans le cadre de la théorie du transport quantique pour un modèle d'impuretés ponctuelles. A fort champ magnétique nous trouvons des oscillations géantes avec un comportement thermiquement activé des maxima de résistance.<br /><br />Dans une deuxième partie, nous étudions les propriétés de l'état mixte dans le supraconducteur non-conventionnel UPt3 pour un champ magnétique parallèle à l'axe hexagonal du cristal principalement dans le cadre des modèles théoriques d'un état supraconducteur à deux composantes couplé avec un champ briseur de symétrie. Nous examinons la structure du réseau de vortex dans la phase A de UPt3 à partir de considérations de symétrie et de l'approximation locale de London, et montrons que seul l'état supraconducteur de symétrie E2u peut rendre compte des observations expérimentales. Nous mettons également en évidence que la transition entre les phases mixtes A et B est plutôt un crossover qu'une transition de phase du second ordre à cause de la présence de termes de gradients de mélange dans l'expression de l'énergie libre de Ginzburg-Landau. Enfin, nous démontrons que la dépendance de la pente du second champ critique au niveau de la température critique en fonction du taux d'impuretés n'est pas sensible à la symétrie de l'état supraconducteur.

Electronic States of Heavy Fermion Metals in High Magnetic Fields

Rourke, Patrick Michael Carl 25 September 2009 (has links)
Heavy fermion metals often exhibit novel electronic states at low temperatures, due to competing interactions and energy scales. In order to characterize these states, precise determination of material electronic properties, such as the Fermi surface topology, is necessary. Magnetic field is a particularly powerful tool, since it can be used as both a tuning parameter and probe of the fundamental physics of heavy fermion compounds. In CePb3, I measured magnetoresistance and torque for 23 mK ≤ T ≤ 400 mK, 0 T ≤ H ≤ 18 T, and magnetic field rotated between the (100), (110), and (111) directions. For H||(111), my magnetoresistance results show a decreasing Fermi liquid temperature range near Hc, and a T^2 coefficient that diverges as A(H) ∝ |H −Hc|^−α, with Hc ~ 6 T and α ~ 1. The torque exhibits a complicated dependence on magnetic field strength and angle. By comparison to numerical spin models, I find that the “spin-flop” scenario previously thought to describe the physics of CePb3 does not provide a good explanation of the experimental results. Using novel data acquisition software that exceeds the capabilities of a traditional measurement set-up, I measured de Haas–van Alphen oscillations in YbRh2Si2 for 30 mK ≤ T ≤ 600 mK, 8 T ≤ H ≤ 16 T, and magnetic field rotated between the (100), (110), and (001) directions. The measured frequencies smoothly increase as the field is decreased through H0 ≈ 10 T. I compared my measurements to 4f-itinerant and 4f-localized electronic structure calculations, using a new algorithm for extracting quantum oscillation information from calculated band energies, and conclude that the Yb 4f quasi-hole remains itinerant over the entire measured field range, with the behaviour at H0 caused by a Fermi surface Lifshitz transition. My measurements are the first to directly track the Fermi surface of YbRh2Si2 across this field range, and rule out the 4f localization transition/crossover that was previously proposed to occur at H0.
