For this reason, many scientific researches is currently focused on the study of materials at ever smaller scales, in order to understand and better control the properties of nanoscale systems, i.e. with dimensions of the order of nanometers, such as thin film ferromagnetic. In this work, we analyze the structural and magnetic properties and magnetoresistance effect in Permalloy-ferromagnetic thin films produced by magnetron sputtering. In this case, since the magnetoresistance effect dependent interfaces of thin films, this work is devoted to the study of the magnetoresistance in samples of Permalloy in nominal settings of: Ta[4nm]/Py[16nm]/Ta[4nm], Ta[4nm]/Py[16nm]/O2/Ta[4nm], Ta[4nm]/O2/Py[16nm]/Ta[4nm], Ta[4nm]/O2/Py[16n m]/O2/Ta[4nm], as made and subjected to heat treatment at temperatures of 160?C, 360?C e 460?C, in order to verify the influence of the insertion of the oxygen in the layer structure of samples and thermal treatments carried out after production of the samples. Results are interpreted in terms of the structure of the samples, residual stresses stored during deposition, stresses induced by heat treatments and magnetic anisotropies / Os materiais ferromagn?ticos exercem um papel importante no desenvolvimento de diversos dispositivos eletr?nicos e t?m grande import?ncia na medida que os mesmos podem determinar a efici?ncia, o custo e o tamanho dos dispositivos.

Uma vasta gama de sensores são aplicados no mercado atual na busca pela melhoria de processos e produtos. Há um grande crescimento em novos sistemas que possam apresentar recursos que técnicas convencionais não apresentam. A busca por uma nova plataforma de sensoriamento surge a partir do interesse em identificar e controlar parâmetros ambientais isolados. Esta pesquisa em área incipiente no Brasil mostra o desenvolvimento de um sensor a partir de um material inteligente (smart material), que por definição, possui uma ou mais propriedades que podem sofrer mudanças significativas a partir de um estímulo externo. O presente trabalho é baseado na investigação de uma fita de material magnético amorfo, que ao exibir propriedades magnéticas e elásticas pelo efeito da magnetostricção, permite o monitoramento remoto de fenômenos físico-químicos do ambiente em que estiver exposta. O desenvolvimento deste sensor tem finalidade no monitoramento sem fio de solicitação mecânica, e alteração do tipo de fluido presente em um dado ambiente. O estudo e avaliação do sensor contou com técnicas de caracterização experimentais e de simulação. São apresentados sistemas e ensaios capazes verificar as ressonâncias do modo de vibração puro da amostra a partir de medidas ópticas e elétricas, quando submetidos a variação de fenômenos físicos. Os resultados indicam a dependência do efeito direto ao estímulo na ação externa do campo magnético em decorrências das características do material. Os resultados quantificados e qualificados na correlação entre os métodos utilizados, justificam a aplicação do smart material no sensoriamento de viscosidade e carregamento aplicado em ambientes isolados. Em consequência das discussões apresentadas para as curvas comportamentais na variação dos parâmetros físico-químico a plataforma de sensoriamento é validada. / New amorphous magnetic materials have magnetic and elastic properties which allows the identification and control of environmental parameters remotely. This work was based in the investigation of a magnetoelastic thin strip, widely used as anti-theft device. In this study it was discussed the employment of this material as a sensor capable identify an environmental change through magnetoelasticity. In order to characterize the strips it was employed several techniques, namely: finite element modeling of the vibrational modes, electromagnetic impedance and laser interferometry. It was presented an analysis of the displacement of the longitudinal modes. The knowledge of the vibration mode allowed the sensor electric characterization when subjected to environmental changes. According to the sample dimensions under magnetic field, test systems were developed in order to perform optic and electric measurements. A proper parameter adjustment of the power supply allowed the determination of the fundamental and higher order resonance frequencies. The magnetostrictive behaviour of the anti-theft strips is related to the Young modulus where the vibration frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the strip. Studies showed that the strip performance is also related to many other parameters, such as the mechanical and electromagnetic properties and the environment to which it is exposed. The strips here presented are largely employed as sensor for temperature, pressure, density, mas variation, viscosity and flux velocity mainly because their wireless capabilities. The data from the polarization field are a section of the knowledge required to better investigate the best performance of the sensor. The sensor characterization through several techniques applied in viscous media and under pressure raise some issues. However, the construction of some devices allowed the application of different values of viscosity and pressure upon the magnetized strip. This made the results interpretation less complex. The resonances were observed in the experimental data and mathematical modellin. Calibration curves were defined to make the results interpretation easier.Previously applied and studied techniques which cover the characterization and behaviour of the material provide valid justifications for the implementation of remote sensors made of amorphous metallic strips. The results presented here justify the application of the analysed amorphous strip as a viscosity and pressure sensor in isolated enviroments.

Cette thèse traite avec des équations aux dérivées partielles provenant de la physique mathématique. En particulier, à partir de modèles 3D ferromagnétisme et ferroélectricité, nous obtenons des modèles 1D et 2D par l'intermédiaire de processus asymptotiques basés sur des méthodes de réduction de dimension. Le modèle 3D ferromagnétisme a été proposé par W.F. Brown depuis lesannées 40. Il est également possible d'utiliser un modèle dynamique, décrivant l'aimantation au cours du temps, en utilisant un système introduit par L.D. Landau et E.M. Lifschitz en 1935. Pour le modèle ferroélectrique, nous nous référons aux papiers de P. Chandra et P.B. Littlewood, W. Zhang et K. Bhattacharya et au livre de T. Mitsui, I. Taksuzaki et E. Nakamura.Ma thèse est constituée de trois parties :Au début, je considère l'énergie micromagnétique avec des coefficients dégénératifs dans un fil mince. Après avoir montrer l'existence de minimiseurs du problème, j'identifie l'énergie limite lorsque la section du fil tend vers zéro.Dans la deuxième partie, j'étudie le comportement asymptotique des solutions dépendant du temps des problèmes micromagnétique dans une multi-structure constituée de la jonction de deux fils minces. En supposant que les volumes des deux fils tendent vers zéro avec la même vitesse. On obtient un problème limite couplé par une condition de jonction. Le problème limite reste non-convexe, mais devient complètement local.Dans le dernier chapitre, à partir d’un modèle variationnel 3D non convexe et non-local pour la polarisation électrique dans un matériau ferroélectrique, et à l'aide d'un processus asymptotique basé sur la réduction de dimension, j'analyse des phénomènes de jonction pour deux films minces ferroélectriques joints orthogonaux. Selon la façon dont la réduction se passe, on obtienttrois modèles différents de dimension 2. On remarque qu’un effet de mémoire du processus de réduction apparaît, ce dernier dépend de la compétition entre les épaisseurs des deux films: Le paramètre de guidage est la limite du rapport des épaisseurs des deux films / This thesis deals with partial differential equations coming from mathematical physics. Particularly, starting from 3D models for ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, we derive 1D and 2D models via asymptotic processes based on dimensional reduction methods. The 3D model for ferromagnetism was proposed by W.F. Brown in the 40s and it is based on a system introduced by L.D. Landau and E.M. Lifschitz in 1935. About the ferroelectric model, we refer tothe papers of P. Chandra and P.B. Littlewood, W. Zhang and K. Bhattacharya and to the book of T. Mitsui, I. Taksuzaki, and E. Nakamura.This thesis based on three works:At the beginning, we consider micromagnetic energy, with some degenerating coefficients, in a thin wire. After showing the existence of minimizers, we identify the limit energy as the section of the wire vanishes.In the second part, we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a time dependent micromagnetic problem in a multi-structure consisting of two joined thin wires. We assume that the volumes of the two wires vanish with same rate. We obtain two 1D limit problems coupled by a junction condition on the magnetization. The limit problem remains non-convex, but now it becomes completely local.In the last chapter, starting from a non-convex and nonlocal 3D variational model for the electric polarization in a ferroelectric material, and using an asymptotic process based on dimensional reduction, we analyze junction phenomena for two orthogonal joined ferroelectric thin films. We obtain three different 2D-variational models for joined thin films, depending on how the reduction happens. We note that, a memory effect of the reduction process appears, and it depends on the competition of the relative thickness of the two films: The guide parameter is the limit of the ratio between these two small thickness

Le travail présenté dans ce mémoire s’intéresse à la prédiction des vibrations d'un noyau de transformateur multicouche, constitué d'un assemblage de tôles ferromagnétiques. Le problème couplé magnéto-mécanique est résolu par une approche séquentielle progressive : la résolution magnétique est suivie d'une résolution mécanique. Un modèle multi-échelle simplifié 3D décrivant les anisotropies magnétiques et magnétostrictives, et considérant les non-linéarités magnétiques et de magnétostriction, est utilisé comme loi de comportement du matériau. La structure du noyau du transformateur est modélisée en 2D. Une technique d'homogénéisation permet de tenir compte du comportement anisotrope de chaque couche afin de définir un comportement moyen pour chaque élément du maillage éléments finis.. Des mesures expérimentales sont ensuite effectuées, permettant d’une part la validation des lois de comportement matériau utilisées, et d’autres part des modèles de comportement structurel statique, du comportement structurel dynamique et de l'estimation du bruit. Différents matériaux et différentes géométries de prototypes de transformateurs sont considérés pour ce travail. Des optimisations structurelles sont finalement proposées grâce à des simulations numériques s’appuyant sur le modèle développé, afin de réduire les vibrations et les émissions de bruit du noyau du transformateur. / This thesis deals with the prediction of the vibration of a multi-layer transformer core made of an assembly of electrical sheets. This magneto-mechanical coupled problem is solved by a stepping finite element method sequential approach: magnetic resolution is followed by mechanical resolution. A 3D Simplified Multi-Scale Model (SMSM) describing both magnetic and magnetostrictive anisotropies is used as the constitutive law of the material. The transformer core structure is modeled in 2D and a homogenization technique is implemented to take the anisotropic behavior of each layer into consideration and define an average behavior at each element of the finite element mesh. Experimental measurements are then carried out, allowing the validation of the material constitutive law, static structural behavior, dynamic structural behavior, and the noise estimation. Different materials geometries are considered for this workStructural optimizations are finally achieved by numerical simulation for lower vibration and noise emission of the transformer cores.

La Magneto-Impédance Géante (GMI) consiste en une forte variation de l’impédance d’un matériau ferromagnétique doux parcouru par un courant d’excitation alternatif haute fréquence lorsqu’il est soumis à un champ magnétique extérieur. Ce travail de thèse introduit de nouvelles techniques numériques et les pistes d’optimisation associées pour les capteurs GMI à haute sensibilité. L'originalité réside dans l'intégration d'un synthétiseur de fréquence et d'un récepteur entièrement numérique pilotés par un processeur de traitement de signal. Ce choix instrumental se justifie par le souhait de réduire le bruit de l’électronique de conditionnement qui limite le niveau de bruit équivalent en champ. Ce dernier caractérise le plus petit champ mesurable par le capteur. Le système de conditionnement conçu est associé à la configuration magnétique off-diagonal pour accroître la sensibilité intrinsèque de l’élément sensible. Cette configuration magnétique consiste en l’utilisation d’une bobine de détection autour du matériau ferromagnétique. Cette association permet en outre d’obtenir une caractéristique impaire de la réponse du capteur autour du champ nul, et par conséquent de pouvoir mettre en œuvre et d’utiliser le capteur sans avoir recours à une polarisation magnétique. Ce choix permet ainsi d’éliminer, ou au moins de minimiser les problématiques liées aux offsets des dispositifs GMI, tout en validant l’intérêt de cette configuration magnétique, notamment sur le choix du point de fonctionnement. Une modélisation des performances en bruit de toute la chaîne de mesure, incluant le système de conditionnement numérique, est réalisée. Une comparaison entre les niveaux de bruit équivalent en champ attendus par le modèle et mesurés est effectuée. Les résultats obtenus ont permis de dégager des lois générales d’optimisation des performances pour un capteur GMI numérique. Partant de ces pistes d’optimisation, un prototype de capteur complet et optimisé a été implémenté sur FPGA. Ce capteur affiche un niveau de bruit équivalent en champ de l’ordre de 1 pT/√Hz en zone de bruit blanc. En outre, ce travail permet de valider l’intérêt des techniques numériques dans la réalisation de dispositifs de mesure à haute sensibilité. / The Giant Magneto-Impedance (GMI) is a large change of the impedance of some soft ferromagnetic materials, supplied by an alternating high-frequency excitation current, when they are submitted to an external magnetic field. This thesis presents the design and performance of an original digital architecture for high-sensitivity GMI sensors. The core of the design is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) which controls two other key elements: a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) and a Software Defined Radio (SDR) or digital receiver. The choice of these digital concepts is justified by the will to reduce the conditioning electronics noise that limits the equivalent magnetic noise level. The latter characterizes the smallest measurable field by the sensor. The developed conditioning system is associated with the off-diagonal magnetic configuration in order to increase the intrinsic sensitivity of the sensitive element. This magnetic configuration consists of the use of an additional a pick-up coil wound around the ferromagnetic material. This association also makes it possible to obtain an asymmetrical characteristic (odd function) of the sensor response near the zero-field point and to consequently allow for sensor implementation and use without any bias magnetic field. Thus, this choice eliminates, or at least minimizes, the problems related to the offset cancelling of the GMI devices. Also, it validates the advantage of this magnetic configuration, especially the choice of the operating point. Modeling of the noise performance of the entire measurement chain, including the digital conditioning, is performed. A comparison between the expected and measured equivalent magnetic noise levels is then carried out. The results yield general optimization laws for a digital GMI sensor. Using these laws, an optimized prototype of a GMI sensor is designed and implemented on FPGA. An equivalent magnetic noise level in a white noise zone region of approximately 1 pT/√ Hz is obtained. Furthermore, this work also makes it possible to validate the interest of digital techniques in the realization of a high-sensitivity measuring devices.

Alguns materiais multiferroicos tem sido amplamente estudados e o BiFeO3, considerado o único material multiferroico em temperatura ambiente, ganhou destaque como candidato para produção de dispositivos lógicos e de memória. O uso de técnicas de crescimento como a deposição por laser pulsado permitiu a produção de filmes finos de BiFeO3 com elevado controle de qualidade. Heteroestruturas de filmes multiferroicos de BiFeO3 e LaBiFeO3 foram crescidas com diferentes espessuras sobre substratos de SrTiO3(100), DyScO3(110) e SrTiO3/Si(100) para avaliação e teste de suas propriedades elétricas e magnéticas. Filmes ferromagnéticos de Co0,9Fe0,1 foram depositados por sputtering sobre os filmes multiferroicos para avaliação da interação interfacial entre ordenamentos magnéticos. Técnicas como fotolitografia foram utilizadas para padronização de microdispositivos gravados sobre as amostras. Tanto os filmes finos de BiFeO3 como os de LaBiFeO3 foram crescidos epitaxialmente sobre os substratos já cobertos com uma camada buffer de SrRuO3 usado como contato elétrico inferior. A estrutura cristalina romboédrica das ferritas de bismuto foi confirmada pelos dados de difração de raios X, bem como a manutenção de tensão estrutural causada pela rede cristalina do substrato para amostras de 20 nm. Os valores de coeficiente do tensor piezelétrico d33 foram da ordem de 0,15 V (∼ 60 kV.cm-2) para amostras com 20 nm de espessura enquanto que os valores de voltagem coerciva para as análises de histerese elétrica foram da ordem de 0,5 V para as mesmas amostras. A relação de coercividade elétrica com a espessura corresponde ao perfil encontrado na literatura pela relação E≈d-2/3. As amostras de CoFe/BFO e CoFe/LBFO depositadas em diferentes substratos apresentam acoplamento interfacial entre ordenamento ferromagnético e antiferromagnético com momento ferromagnético de rede. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP / CAPES:99999.009511/2014-08 / CNPq:146622/2013-2

Usamos a formula c~ao de ondas de spins de Holstein-Primako para investigar propriedades da din^amica de propaga c~ao de ondas de spins no material ferrimagn etico YIG e tamb em no sistema antiferromagn etico FeF2. Para cada um deles, desenvolvemos modelos te oricos que permitiram ajustar as rela c~oes de dispers~ao de ondas de spins medidas experimentalmente nesses. Al em disso, investigamos a renormaliza c~ao da energia de m agnons usando o formalismo das fun c~oes de Green de dois tempos dependentes da temperatura de Bogoliubov-Tyablikov. A aplica c~ao para o YIG, permitiu calcular as varia c~oes da rela c~ao de dispers~ao para m agnons com a temperatura. Tamb em se investigou a renormaliza c~ao da energia de m agnons no sistema FeF2, mas esta vez considerando uma aproxima c~ao do tipo RPA1. Na renormaliza c~ao da energia foram consideradas duas contribui c~oes: exchange isotr opica tipo Heisenberg e anisotropia uniaxial. Em nossas considera c~oes, foi inclu da a depend^encia com a temperatura da anisotropia uniaxial que permitiu estimar o campo critico de transi c~ao de spin- op para o limite de estabilidade da fase antiferromagn etica. Tamb em, foi feito um estudo te orico e experimental da anisotropia magneto cristalina do material antiferromagn etico RbMnF3, baseado nas intera c~oes de campo cristalino e intera c~ao de spin- orbita, com o objetivo de calcular a varia c~ao com a temperatura do campo de spin- op. As ondas de spins em YIG foram estudadas em mais detalhes calculando as taxas de relaxa c~ao por processos de espalhamento de 3-m agnons e 4-m agnons. Igualmente foram estimadas empregando campos magn eticos intensos da ordem de 102 kOe. Finalmente, estudamos propriedades t ermicas de transporte de m agnons em YIG submetido a campos magn eticos intensos. Calculamos o calor 1Random Phase Approximation especi co de m agnons e a condutividade t ermica em baixas temperaturas e campos magn eticos externos intensos para serem comparados com as medidas experimentais encontrando um bom acordo entre teoria e experimento [145] / In this thesis we theoretically treat some magnetic properties and excitations of spins in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials in order to interpret measurements and experimental observations. We use the formulation of quantization of spin waves of Holstein-Primako to investigate properties of the spin wave propagation dynamics in the ferrimagnetic material YIG and also in the antiferromagnetic system FeF2. For each of them, we have developed theoretical models to adjust the dispersion relations of spin waves measured experimentally in these systems. In addition, we investigated the magnon energy renormalization using the formalism of two-time temperature dependent Green's functions of Bogoliubov-Tyablikov. The application for the YIG allowed calculate the variation of the dispersion relation for magnons with temperature. We also investigate the magnon energy renormalization in the system FeF2, but this time considering an approximation of the RPA type. In the energy renormalization were considered two contributions: exchange isotropic Heisenberg and uniaxial anisotropy type. In our calculations the temperature dependence of the uniaxial anisotropy eld allows estimating the critical spin- op transition for the antiferromagnetic phase stability limit. Also, we have undertaken a theoretical and experimental study of the magneto crystalline anisotropy of the antiferromagnetic material RbMnF3, based on the crystal eld interactions and spin-orbit interaction, in order to calculate the variation with temperature of the eld spin- op. The spin waves in YIG were studied in more detail calculating the relaxation rate due to 3-magnons and 4-magnons scattering processes considering strong magnetic elds of hundreds of kOe. Finally, we have studied thermal transport properties of magnons in YIG subject to intense magnetic elds. We have, calculate of the speci c heat and thermal conductivity of magnons at low temperatures and high elds to compare with the experimental measurements nding a good agreement between theory and experiment [145].
