Cette étude propose l'idée des aimants dits de ferrite tétragonale en rendant la symétrie cristalline des ferrites de spinelle cubique afin d'améliorer l'anisotropie magnétique (et donc, d'améliorer la coercivité). Pour concrétiser cette idée, nous avons synthétisé des particules (Cu, Co) -ferrite à distorsion tétragonale et caractérisé systématiquement les propriétés magnétiques en conséquence avec leurs distorsions de réseau. Les facteurs intrinsèques et extrinsèques contribuant à la coercivité ont été étudiés. Pour élucider l'anisotropie magnétique, nous avons démontré un modèle de couplage physique de l'effet Jahn-Teller (JT) et de l'effet magnétoélastique (ME) au sein de la théorie phénoménologique. Ensuite, nous avons effectué une analyse de coercivité dans deux modèles généraux de coercivité afin de clarifier les paramètres de la microstructure contribuant au mécanisme d'inversion de la magnétisation. À partir de l'analyse du modèle magnétoélastique, nous avons démontré l'expression linéaire de l'anisotropie magnétique en utilisant le paramètre tétragonal obtenu à partir de la distorsion JT. Les valeurs du coefficient magnétoélastique pour Cu (B1Cu = 2 MJ / m3) et Co (B1Co = 40 MJ / m3) déduites de la courbe expérimentale étaient acceptables avec la valeur calculée pour le ferrite de cuivre en vrac (B1Cu en vrac = 4 MJ / m3) et le cobalt. ferrite (masse B1Co = 55 MJ / m3). Les résultats suggèrent que l’anisotropie magnétique peut être attribuée au couplage de la distorsion JT avec l’effet magnétoélastique de Co. Au lieu d’une augmentation indéfinie avec x, l’anisotropie magnétique Ku tend à atteindre une valeur de saturation en raison de la concurrence entre les effet magnétoélastique de Co et le JT de Cu. Entre le x tétragonal x = 0,1 et le x cubique = 0,2, les valeurs de Ku constantes d'anisotropie magnétique intrinsèque ne varient pas de manière aussi significative que la différence entre les champs de coercivité et d'anisotropie. La réduction des champs d'anisotropie supérieurs à x = 0,1 peut alors être attribuée à l'augmentation de l'aimantation spontanée. L'analyse de la coercivité au sein du modèle micromagnétique a révélé une contribution importante à la coercivité de la microstructure et de l'effet démagnétisant local. Le paramètre de microstructure αMM = 0,25 obtenu était une valeur classique de l'analyse micromagnétique, suggérant le départ du champ d'anisotropie avec ce facteur de réduction. Les facteurs démagnétisants locaux effectifs NeffMM d’environ 1,4 obtenus étaient plutôt importants, ce qui suggère un effet démagnétisant significatif. Dans l'analyse du modèle global (GM), les valeurs de NeffGM obtenues étaient were 0,38 pour l'échantillon x = 0,1. La valeur négative suggère la présence d'une interaction d'échange agissant efficacement en opposition à l'interaction dipolaire. En deçà de 100 K, une différence dans le modèle suggère l’idée d’un réchauffement local consécutif à l’activation thermique due au changement d’énergie Zeeman et à une dissipation de chaleur inefficace. Cet événement peut avoir conduit à la réduction du champ coercitif à une température suffisamment basse dans l'échantillon x = 0.1 en supposant que les grains sont fortement couplés en échange. / This study proposes the idea of the so-called tetragonal ferrite magnets by rendering the crystal symmetry of the cubic spinel ferrites to enhance the magnetic anisotropy (and hence, enhance the coercivity). To realize this idea, we synthesized tetragonally distorted (Cu,Co)-ferrite particles and systematically characterized the magnetic properties accordingly with their lattice distortions. The intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to coercivity were investigated. To elucidate the magnetic anisotropy, we demonstrated a physical coupling model of the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect and the magnetoelastic (ME) effect within the phenomenological theory. Then, we performed coercivity analysis within two general models of coercivity to clarify the microstructure parameters contributing to the magnetization reversal mechanism. From the magnetoelastic model analysis, we demonstrated the linear expression of the magnetic anisotropy using the tetragonal parameter obtained from the JT distortion. The magnetoelastic coefficient values for Cu (B1Cu = 2 MJ/m3) and Co (B1Co = 40 MJ/m3) deduced from the experimental curve were agreeable with the value calculated for bulk copper ferrite (B1Cu bulk= 4 MJ/m3) and cobalt ferrite (B1Co bulk= 55 MJ/m3). The results suggests that the source of magnetic anisotropy can be attributed to the coupling of the JT distortion with the magnetoelastic effect of Co. Instead of an indefinite increase with x, the magnetic anisotropy Ku tends to reach a saturation value due to the competition between the magnetoelastic effect of Co and the JT effect of Cu. Between the tetragonal x = 0.1 and the cubic x = 0.2 samples, the intrinsic magnetic anisotropy constant Ku values do not vary as significantly compared to the difference in the coercivity and the anisotropy fields. The reduction of anisotropy fields above x = 0.1 then can be attributed to the increase in the spontaneous magnetization.The coercivity analysis within the micromagnetic model revealed significant contribution to the coercivity by the microstructure and the local demagnetizing effect. The microstructure parameter αMM = 0.25 obtained was a classical value in the micromagnetic analysis, suggesting the departure of anisotropy field with this reduction factor. The effective local demagnetizing factor NeffMM of about 1.4 obtained were rather large suggesting a significant demagnetizing effect. Within the global model (GM) analysis, the values of NeffGM obtained were －0.38 for the x = 0.1 sample. The negative value suggests the presence of an exchange interaction acting effectively in opposition to the dipolar interaction. Below 100 K, discrepancy in the GM suggests the idea of a local heating event following the thermal activation due to the change in Zeeman energy and ineffective heat dissipation. This event may have led to the reduction of coercive field at sufficiently low temperature in the x = 0.1 sample assuming the grains are strongly exchange-coupled.

This thesis focuses on the role of interfacial strain in heterostructures to modify the magnetism of thin ferromagnetic films due to the inverse magnetostrictive effect, defined as the change of magnetization produced in ferromagnetic materials by an external stress. Thus, the magnetic control can be obtained without applying an external field by using heterostructures composed of a non-magnetic layer characterized by a temperature-driven structural phase transition coupled to a ferromagnetic layer. In such heterostructures, the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer is modified through changes in the stress field at the interface when the structural phase transition in the non-magnetic layer (actuator) is carried out. In this work, we used NiTi shape memory alloy as the actuator to modify the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic films through the magneto-elastic coupling in novel NiTi/Ni and NiTi/Co heterostructures. NiTi, when near its equiatomic composition, is a shape memory alloy that undergoes a reversible structural phase transition with temperature, providing stress on the ferromagnetic film. We chose this alloy because NiTi exhibits a large recovery stress with transition temperatures above room temperature for Ti-rich NiTi films, which is of interest for technological applications of the heterostructures. Since the right microstructure of NiTi is important to observe structural phase transition and it defines the characteristic of the transition, an extensive review on previous research on NiTi is detailed in this thesis. Thus, to ensure large stress during the NiTi structural transition with temperature, the NiTi alloy must be near its equiatomic composition with a thickness above 800 nm. Both characteristics were confirmed by Rutherford Backscattering analyses. The crystal structure and its transition with temperature were studied by X-ray diffraction measurements. In-plane magnetization and hysteresis measurements with temperature, performed on a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, prove the magneto-elastic coupling that was observed as an enhancement in the magnetic moment of the ferromagnetic layer. Such enhancement becomes the feature of magneto-elastic coupling in these novel NiTi/ferromagnetic heterostructures. / Esta tese estuda o papel da tensão interfacial em filmes heterogêneos na modificação do magnetismo de camadas ferromagnéticas finas por meio do efeito magnetoestritivo inverso, definido como a mudança de magnetização produzida em materiais ferromagnéticos por um estresse externo. Tecnologicamente, isto visa ter um grau de controle magnético do material sem a aplicação de um campo externo, usando heteroestruturas compostas por uma camada não magnética caracterizada por uma transição de fase estrutural acionada pela temperatura, acoplada a uma camada ferromagnética. Em tais heteroestruturas, a magnetização da camada ferromagnética é modificada através de alterações no campo de tensão na interface quando a transição de fase estrutural na camada não magnética (atuador) é realizada. Assim, utilizamos a liga com memória de forma NiTi como atuador, para modificar o comportamento magnético de filmes ferromagnéticos através do acoplamento magnetoelástico em novas heteroestruturas de NiTi/Ni e NiTi/Co. O NiTi, quando próximo à sua composição equiatômica, é uma liga com memória de forma que sofre uma transição de fase estrutural reversível com a temperatura, proporcionando tensão no filme ferromagnético. Escolhemos esta liga porque o NiTi apresenta uma grande tensão de recuperação com temperaturas de transição acima da temperatura ambiente, para filmes de NiTi ricos em Ti, o que é de interesse para aplicações tecnológicas das heteroestruturas. A microestrutura do NiTi é fundamental para favorecer a transição de fase estrutural e definir as suas características. Assim, uma extensa revisão de pesquisas anteriores sobre NiTi é detalhada nesta tese. Para garantir um grande estresse durante a transição estrutural do NiTi com a temperatura, o filme de NiTi deve estar próximo de sua composição equiatômica e ter espessura acima de 800 nm. Ambas as características foram confirmadas pelas análises de espectroscopia de retroespalhamento Rutherford. A estrutura cristalina e sua transição com a temperatura foram estudadas por medidas de difração de raios X. Medidas de magnetização e histerese em função da temperatura, com campo aplicado no plano dos filmes, realizadas em um magnetômetro SQUID, comprovaram a existência do acoplamento magnetoelástico, o qual se manifestou através de variações no momento magnético da camada ferromagnética. Essas mudanças de magnetização, observadas principalmente na heteroestrutura com Ni, torna-se a característica principal do acoplamento magnetoelástico nesses novos materiais.

Le développement de matériaux avec différents ordres ferroïques couplés (multiferroïques) motive d’intenses activités de recherche. Une combinaison particulièrement intéressante est celle des paramètres d'ordre magnétique et électrique qui, dans le cas favorable où ceux-ci sont couplés, ouvre la voie au contrôle électrique de l’aimantation. Celui-ci peut être envisagé via la manipulation de la polarisation d’un ferroélectrique ou des déformations d’un piézoélectrique Les propriétés du matériau ferroélectrique/piézoélectrique peuvent être inversement modifiées par l’état d’aimantation, ce qui laisse envisager des applications dans le domaine des capteurs de champs magnétiques. Ce travail s’inscrit dans l’étude de systèmes piézoélectrique/ magnétostrictif, avec un intérêt spécifique porté à l’influence de l’aimantation sur les ondes acoustiques de surface (SAW) générées dans le dispositif. Nous avons ainsi déposé des couches polycristallines de Ni, des multicouches [Co/IrMn], ainsi que des couches épitaxiées de TbFe2 sur des substrats de Niobate de Lithium (LNO) de différentes orientations. Sur LNO Z-cut, la croissance de TbFe2 est réalisée en utilisant différentes couches tampons simples ou doubles qui permettent d’obtenir des directions de croissance [111] ou [110] avec des anisotropies magnétiques respectivement perpendiculaire et planaire. Sur des substrats de coupe 128Y et 41Y, la croissance s’avère beaucoup plus complexe mais il est néanmoins possible d’obtenir un film cristallisé de TbFe2 multidomaines avec des relations d’orientation 3D similaires à celles obtenus sur LNO Z-cut, que ce soit entre la couche magnétique et la couche tampon, ou entre la couche tampon et le substrat. Des dispositifs magnétiques à ondes acoustiques de surface (MSAW) ont été ensuite fabriqués dans une géométrie de résonateur permettant une interrogation à distance aisée. La fréquence de résonance des dispositifs MSAW est sensible à l’application d’un champ magnétique externe, via des effets statiques liés à l’orientation de l’aimantation sous champ et via des effets dynamiques d’origine magnétoélastique liés à l’excitation acoustique. Nous avons examiné les réponses magnéto-acoustiques des différents dispositifs, en corrélation étroite avec les propriétés magnétiques statiques, en particulier l’anisotropie, la coercivité et l’hystérèse. Un modèle piézomagnétique équivalent a été utilisé pour simuler certaines de ces réponses. De manière générale, nous montrons qu’un choix judicieux du matériau magnétique et le contrôle de ses propriétés permettent d’élaborer des capteurs spécifiques : un matériau magnétique doux permet de contrôler l’anisotropie de la réponse acoustique via la forme des IDT; un matériau magnétique dur ouvre la voie au développement de capteurs de forts champs magnétiques; un système à anisotropie d’échange dont on peut contrôler la réversibilité de la réponse magnétique permet d’envisager un capteur de champ magnétique hors plan / The development of materials with different coupled ferroic orders (multiferroics) drives an intense research activity. A particularly interesting combination is the case where magnetic and electrical orders are simultaneously present, which, in the favorable case where these are coupled, opens the way to the electrical control of magnetization. This can be achieved in manipulating the polarization in a ferroelectric or the strains in a piezoelectric compound. Ferroelectric or piezoelectric properties can inversely be influenced by the magnetic state, an interesting feature for the development of magnetic field sensors. This work aims in the investigation of piezoelectric/magnetostrictive systems, more especially in the role of the magnetization and of the magnetization versus field behavior on the surface acoustic waves (SAW). Polycristalline Ni films, [Co/IrMn] multilayers and epitaxial TbFe2 films have been deposited on Lithium Niobate (LNO) substrates of different orientations. On LNO Z-cut, various single or double buffer layers have been used to achieve the TbFe2 epitaxial growth, along either [111] or [110] directions and with either perpendicular or in-plane magnetic anisotropy. On LNO 128Y and 41Y substrates, the growth is more complex but it is nevertheless possible to obtain crystalline multidomains TbFe2 films with 3D orientation relationships similar to those obtained on LNO Z-cut, both between the magnetic and the buffer layers, and between the buffer layer and the substrate. Magnetic surface acoustic wave (MSAW) devices have been patterned in a resonator geometry that enables an easy wireless interrogation. The MSAW device resonance frequency is sensitive to an external magnetic field, both via static effects related to the field-induced magnetization changes, and via magnetoelastic dynamic effects related to the acoustic excitation. We have investigated the MSAW magneto acoustic responses of the various devices in close connection with the static magnetic properties, especially the anisotropy, the coercivity and the hysteresis. An equivalent piezomagnetic model could support some of these observations. We show more generally that the proper choice of magnetic material and the control of the magnetic properties helps to build up specific sensors: soft magnetic materials enable to tailor the anisotropy of the MSAW response by engineering the IDT’s shape; hard magnetic materials enable to achieve high field unipolar or bipolar field response; exchange-biased systems in which the reversibility of the magnetic response is achieved let envision the development of sensors for out-of-plane magnetic fields

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / In this work we detail the magnetoelastic coupling method in which the elastic term is absorbed by the exchange term allowing it to obtain additional contributions, Sadd, to the total entropy variation, by means of the dependence of the exchange parameter (T;H; P). For this purpose, we proposed the dependence of the bulk modulus with temperature, B(T), for the linear case (L-case) and Wachtman type (W-case), thus verifying that the total entropy variation , SMaxwell, is the sum of the conventional entropy variation, Sconv, with the additional contribution, that is, SMaxwell = Sconv + Sadd. In addition, we analyzed: i) the action of hydrostatic pressure on magnetic and magnetocaloric properties for both L and W cases, where there was a reduction in transition temperature, TC, a change in nature of the magnetic transition and the increase in the intensity of the magnetocaloric e ect, Siso, keeping constant the area under the curves, with increasing pressure; (ii) the action of the magnetic eld on the barocaloric properties, where an increase in TC and a reduction of the barocaloric e ect, bar iso , could be observed, constant keeping the area under the curves, with the increase of the magnetic eld, thus verifying that the barocaloric e ect is energetically more e cient under the action of low elds than the magnetocaloric e ect; and (iii) the action of the magnetic eld and the pressure simultaneously, verifying an alternative way to potentiate the magnetocaloric e ect for a wide temperature range, which makes possible to apply the results to other systems besides MnAs and their parents. Finally, an extension of the Kubo and Ohata model, similar to Bean-Rodbell, was presented for the manganites, La1-xCaxMnO3 and La2=3(Ca1-xSrx)1=3MnO3, in the presence of magnetic eld, thus describing its magnetic, magnetocaloric, barocaloric and structural properties, by means of such magnitudes as: magnetization, variation of magnetic entropy, deformation, double exchange energy and electron conduction bandwidth eg, thus showing the connectivity between these quantities in the description of the physical properties of these compounds and showing an alternative model in the theoretical study of these manganites of Lanthanum. / Neste trabalho de pesquisa detalhamos o m etodo de acoplamento magnetoel astico no qual o termo el astico e absorvido pelo termo de troca possibilitando obter contribui c~oes adicionais, Sadd, a varia c~ao de entropia total, por meio da depend^encia do par^ametro de troca (T;H; P).

Les récentes découvertes sur les phénomènes hyperfréquences et nonlinéaires dans les structures minces ferromagnétiques actives planaires ont fait émerger un grand nombre de nouvelles études et applications pratiques prometteuses. La conversion de l'énergie magnétoélastique peut être beaucoup plus efficace à proximité de la transition de réorientation de spin (TRS). Les structures minces ferromagnétiques actives planaires fournissent un grand nombre de caractéristiques haute fréquence uniques : par exemple, les conditions pour l’effet Doppler anomal peuvent être satisfaites. Les cristaux magnoniques représentent également un domaine prometteur pour les futures investigations.Dans le présent travail nous avons établi la description théorique de la propagation des ondes hyperfréquences et non-linéaires dans les structures minces ferromagnétiques actives planaires de compositions différentes. Il a été démontré expérimentalement et théoriquement que les vibrations basse fréquence d’un cantilever peuvent être amplifiées quand la résonance ferromagnétique est excitée par un champ électromagnétique HF à proximité de la TRS. En outre, l'effet de la démodulation magnétoélastique peut être complété par un effet magnétoélectrique nonlinéaire. La possibilité de l'apparition de l'effet Doppler anomal lors de la propagation d'une onde de surface magnétostatique dans une structure ferrite-diélectrique-métal, dans une certaine plage de paramètres du système, est démontrée. La dispersion d'une onde magnétostatique de surface se propageant dans un film dont l'épaisseur varie linéairement, et possédant une structure périodique sous la forme de bandes parallèles gravées, a été calculée / Recently discovered investigations on the high frequency and nonlinear phenomena in thin active ferromagnetic planar structures showed a great number of new studies and promising practical applications. The magnetoelastic energy conversion can be much more efficient in the vicinity of spin reorientation transition (SRT). The thin active ferromagnetic planar structures provide a lot of unique high frequency features: for instance, the anomalous Doppler effect conditions can be satisfied. The magnon crystals are also an actual area for the further investigation of the domain.In the present work we derived the theoretical description for the high frequency and non-linear waves propagation in thin planar ferromagnetic structures with different compositions. It was demonstrated experimentally and theoretically that LF vibrations of the cantilever can be amplified when FMR is excited by HF electromagnetic field near SRT. Moreover the magnetoelastic demodulation effect can be supplemented with nonlinear magnetoelectric effect. The possibility of the occurrence of the anomalous Doppler effect during propagation of an MSSW in an FDM structure in a certain range of system parameters is substantiated. The dispersion of a surface magnetostatic wave propagating in a film, whose thickness varies linearly, with a periodic structure in the form of parallel etched strips was calculated. As it was clearly demonstrated these works are of great interest for the new studies and practical applications
