Synthesis and Characterization of Constrained Magnetism in NiobatesMunsie, Timothy John Sagan 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis contains the results of the extensive study into the synthesis of nickel niobate (NiNb2O6) including the formation of what was a previously unreported polymorph of the material, as well as the magnetic properties of both cobalt niobate (CoNb2O6) and nickel niobate using techniques including SQUID magnetometry, powder and single crystal x-ray scattering, powder and single crystal neutron scattering and muon spin rotation/relaxation.
In cobalt niobate we found extremely long relaxation times in the heat capacity which showed up strongly in muon spin rotation experiments but not in neutron measurements. Additionally, with field applied to the system we see the emergence of spin-wave like structures in the neutron scattering data. Within cobalt niobate the strongest interaction is ferromagnetic and along the chain. The chains themselves are laid out on a triangular fashion
and interact, although far more weakly, in an antiferromagnetic manner. This triangular patterning as well as an antiferromagnetic interaction results in interchain frustration, which protects the quasi-1D nature of the system due to the difficulty generated in creating 3D order.
In nickel niobate we found that growth conditions caused highly variable changes, and we were able to create two different polymorphs. One polymorph was in the same space group as cobalt niobate, which gave us an opportunity to explore the magnetic difference between a spin-½ and spin-1 magnetic system and in nickel niobate in the new space group we performed an ab initio characterization solving the unit cell structure, the magnetic structure with neutron scattering as well as a magnetic characterization with SQUID magnetometry and muon spin rotation, allowing us to contrast the significant crystallographic differences. For the new polymorph we were able to determine its magnetic structure, characterized by Ising-like spins arranged in frustrated tetrahedra with three of the four points lying in the same plane as the spin, and for both materials we were able to use zero-field μSR data to estimate behaviour near the critical point and determine a critical exponent near the magnetic transitions. In both polymorphs there is evidence of constrained magnetism or reduced dimensionality, although the evidence for low dimensionality is much stronger in the columbite polymorph. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This thesis examines two different niobium-based compounds: cobalt niobate (CoNb2O6) and nickel niobate (NiNb2O6). In these systems the cobalt and nickel atoms provide interesting magnetic properties. Within a magnetic material, the magnetic atoms tend to have their spins
align in certain ways. The atoms themselves are fixed to particular sites by the way the material is assembled; an atomic framework.
In the case of cobalt niobate, the magnetic atoms are arranged in well-separated chains so that a magnetic atom interacts strongly with its magnetic neighbours within a chain, and weakly with ones that are further away. This is an example of a material that is called `low dimensional'. The chains themselves form triangular patterns, and the interactions between chains are both weaker and antialigned, which creates a frustrated competition between the chains, protecting the low dimensional state by creating conditions where it is hard for all the spins in the material to order.
For nickel niobate, the magnetic moments all want to anti-align, or be pointing in the opposite direction as its nearest neighbour. The magnetism is `frustrated' because each magnetic atom is tetrahedrally connected to three other atoms, so it cannot meet that condition. This can be visualized by drawing a triangle and trying to make each corner have an arrow pointing up
or down. The third corner of the triangle cannot satisfy this requirement for its neighbours (one up and one down arrow).
Both decreased dimensionality and frustration can lead to the emergence of novel quantum states of matter at low temperature. This thesis explores these materials with that in mind.

Magnetometrické a spektrometrické analýzy polétavého prachu z lokalit s emisním znečištěním ovzduší převážně z automobilové dopravy (Pražský okruh) a z průmyslu (poblíž ostravských hutí) s využitím meteorologických dat / Magnetometrical and spectrometrical analyses of fly ashes from the areas with emissonal air pollution mainly from automobile traffic (near Prague's D0 motorway) and from industry (near Ostrava's iron-mills) with a use of meteorological dataHrušková, Gloria January 2018 (has links)
The content of analytical part of this thesis is the study of airborne dust samples collected in places with its higher concentration: by the Prague Ring (D0 motorway) and near the Ostrava's iron-mills. In both places, automobile transportation or industrial production are the primary sources of particulate matter emissions in the air. Received samples of PM1, PM2, PM10 a TSP filters were obtained by a standard air pollution monitoring procedure. This study examines the relationship between the magnetic parameters of the samples, their level of concentration of metals frequently present in emissions from these sources, the total mass of the dust fraction in the samples and the meteorological parameters (for Ostrava samples). The magnetic properties of the filters were investigated by magnetometric analyzes using a vibration sampling magnetometer. The concentrations of the metals were monitored by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the weight of parts of dust filtres was measured on laboratory scales.

Magnetic properties of individual iron filled carbon nanotubes and their application as probes for magnetic force microscopy / Magnetische Eigenschaften von einzelnen eisengefüllten Kohlenstoffnanoröhren und deren Anwendung als Sonden für die MagnetkraftmikroskopieWolny, Franziska 20 October 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Iron filled carbon nanotubes (FeCNT) can be described as carbon nanotubes which contain an iron nanowire of several micrometers length and a diameter of approximately 10-100 nm. The carbon shells protect the iron core from oxidation and mechanical damage thus enabling a wide range of applications that require a long-term stability. The magnetic properties of the enclosed nanowire are in part determined by its small size and elongated shape. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) measurements show that the iron wire exhibits a single domain behavior. Due to the large shape anisotropy it is magnetized along the long wire axis in the remanent state. Two magnetic monopoles of opposing polarity are located at the wire extremities. Depending on the structure and geometry of the individual nanowire, switching fields in the range of 100-400 mT can be found when the external field is applied along the FeCNT’s easy axis. Cantilever magnetometry shows that the switching can be attributed to a thermally assisted magnetization reversal mechanism with the nucleation and propagation of a domain wall. The defined magnetic properties of individual FeCNT combined with their mechanical strength make them ideal candidates for an application as high resolution high stability MFM probes. The fabrication of such probes can be achieved with the help of a micromanipulation setup in a scanning electron microscope. FeCNT MFM probes achieve a sub 25 nm lateral magnetic resolution. MFM measurements with FeCNT MFM probes in external fields show that the magnetization of these probes is exceptionally stable compared to conventional coated MFM probes. This greatly simplifies the data evaluation of such applied field MFM measurements. The emphasis of this work was put on the calibration of FeCNT probes to enable straightforward quantitative MFM measurements. The defined shape of the magnetically active iron nanowire allows an application of a point monopole description. Microscale parallel current carrying lines that produce a defined magnetic field are used as calibration structures to determine the effective magnetic moment of different MFM probes. The line geometry is varied in order to produce multiple magnetic field decay lengths and investigate the influence on the effective probe moment. The results show that while the effective magnetic monopole moment of a conventional MFM probe increases with an increasing sample stray field decay length, the effective moment of a FeCNT MFM probe remains constant. This enables a MFM probe calibration that stays valid for a large variety of magnetic samples. Furthermore, the fitted monopole moment of a FeCNT probe (in the order of 10E-9 Am) is consistent with the moment calculated from the nanowire geometry and the saturation magnetization of iron.

The search for the slave ship Meermin : developing a methodology for finding inter tidal shipwrecksBoshoff, Jaco Jacqes 01 1900 (has links)
Text in English with abstracts in English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa / This thesis describes the development of a methodology to find inter tidal shipwrecks. The discussion revolves around finding a particular shipwreck – that of the Dutch slaver Meermin. The story of the revolt on the Meermin helps to focus the search and development of the methodology to find inter tidal shipwrecks as the Meermin was wrecked in this zone. The thesis contextualises the search and the story by discussing not only maritime archaeology in South Africa, but also looking at slave ship archaeology and the history of slavery at the Cape. One of the key techniques for finding shipwrecks is the use of magnetometers. The discussion defines the types of magnetometers available to archaeologists and how magnetometry was applied during the search for the Meermin. This inevitably includes an examination of the shipwrecks wrecked in the area of the Meermin episode as well as the way this region has changed over time. The results of the
magnetometer searches (which included airborne, handheld and marine magnetometers) are discussed as well as the ground truthing of the results. The latter involved excavation and the development of excavation strategies, and excavation results are scrutinized. In the final analysis the search for the Meermin is further contextualised by considering the various impacts the project has had in other spheres. / Hierdie tesis beskryf die ontwikkeling van ‘n metodologie waarmee skeepswrakke in die inter-gety sone opgespoor kan word. Die Hollandse slaweskip, Meermin, is die fokus van die diskussie. Die storie van die slawe opstand op die Meermin help om die ontwikkeling
en soektog na skeepswrakke in die inter-gety sone te verskerp, aangesien dit in hierdie sone was waarin die Meermin gestrand het. Die soektog en storie van die Meermin word gekontekstualiseer deur die bespreking van die ontwikkeling van maritieme argeologie in
Suid Afrika, die argeologie van slawe skepe en ‘n kort geskiedenis van slawerny aan die Kaap. Magnetometers is een van die belangrikste tegnieke gebruik vir die opspoor van skeepswrakke. Die tipes magnetometers wat deur argeoloë gebruik word, word gedefinieër
asook hoe magnetometers gedurende die soektog na die Meermin gebruik is. Daar word ook gekyk na die ander skepe wat in die area van die Meermin gestrand het en die veranderinge wat deur die jare in die streek plaasgevind het. Die resultate van die magnetometer soektogte (insluitend vliegtuig, draagbare en mariene magnetometers) word bespreek so wel as die opgrawings van die resultate. Hierdie opgrawings het noodwendig gelei tot die ontwikkeling van opgrawings tegnieke. Die resultate van die opgrawings word bespreek. Die finale analise kontekstualiseer die soektog na die Meermin met ‘n bepeinsing van die menige impakte wat die projek gehad het. / Le thisisi icacisa ngenkqubela kulwazi-nkqubo lokufumana iinqanawa ezaphuka phakathi kokuzala nokurhoxa kolwandle.

Etude à l'échelle atomique de l'implantation du fer dans le carbure de silicium (SiC) : Elaboration d'un semiconducteur magnétique dilué à température ambiante. / Fe-implanted 6H-SiC Study at fine scale : Elaboration of diluted magnetic semiconductors at room temperatureDiallo, Lindor 26 September 2019 (has links)
Ce travail de thèse porte sur l’étude du carbure de silicium, dopé avec du fer dans le but de réaliser un semi-conducteur magnétique dilué à température ambiante pour des applications à la spintronique. Le dopage en fer a été réalisé par implantation ionique de type multi-énergie (30 - 160 keV) à différentes fluences, conduisant à une concentration atomique constante de 2 % de 20 à 100 nm. Il a été suivi d’un recuit à haute température dans le but d’homogénéiser la concentration en dopants. Les implantations se sont déroulées à une température de 550 °C. L’optimisation des propriétés magnétiques et électroniques du SiC–Fe, de même que la compréhension des mécanismes physiques à l’origine du magnétisme induit, ont nécessité une caractérisation poussée de la microstructure des matériaux implantés. Les objectifs de ce travail ont été d’une part, de réaliser une étude à l’échelle atomique de la nanostructure en fonction des conditions d’implantations (température, fluence) et des traitements thermiques post-implantation, et d’autre part, de déterminer les propriétés magnétiques des matériaux implantés. Dans ce travail, nous avons montré par Sonde Atomique Tomographique, la présence de nanoparticules dont la taille moyenne augmente avec la température de recuit. La cartographie chimique des nanoparticules a permis de révéler l’existence de phases riches en Fe pour les échantillons recuits. L’étude magnétique (spectrométrie Mössbauer et Squid) a montré que la contribution ferromagnétique est due principalement aux nanoparticules magnétiques et/ ou aux atomes de fer magnétiques dilués dans la matrice. La corrélation entre les propriétés structurale et magnétique a permis de montrer que les atomes de fer dilués dans la matrice et substitués sur sites de silicium contribuent au signal ferromagnétique en dessous de 300 K. Nous avons donc montré dans ce travail, que la taille et la nature des phases présentes dans les nanoparticules dépendent des conditions d’implantation et des températures de recuit et qu’il est nécessaire de recuire les échantillons à haute température pour faire apparaître un ordre ferromagnétique. / This PhD thesis focuses on the study of SiC, doped with Fe in order to elaborate a diluted magnetic semiconductor at room temperature for spintronic applications. The iron doping was carried out by ion implantation of multi-energy type (30-160 keV) at different fluences, leading to a 2% constant atomic concentration between 20 to 100 nm, followed by a high temperature annealing in the goal of homogenizing the dopant concentration. The implantation temperature during this process is 550 °C, in order to avoid amorphization. The optimization of the magnetic and electronic properties of SiC-Fe, as well as the understanding of the physical mechanisms at the origin of induced magnetism, require a thorough characterization of the microstructure of the implanted materials. The objectives of this work are, on the one hand, to carry out an atomic scale study of the nanostructure according to the implantation conditions (temperature, fluence) and the post-implantation annealing and the other hand, to characterize the magnetic properties of implanted materials. In this work, we have shown by atom probe tomographic, the existence of nanoparticles whose the average size increases with the annealing temperature. The chemical mapping of the nanoparticles shows the presence of the Fe-rich phases for the annealed samples. Magnetic study (Mössbauer spectrometry and Squid) shows the ferromagnetic contribution is due to the magnetic nanoparticles and/or the diluted Fe atoms in the matrix. The correlation between structural and magnetic properties allowed showing that diluted Fe atoms and substitute to Si sites contribute to the ferromagnetic contribution below 300 K. In coupling many characterization techniques in order to give a detailed description of the different studied samples, we have shown that the size and nature of the phase present in the nanoparticles depend on the implantation conditions and the annealing temperatures and consequently it is necessary to anneal our samples at high temperature to reveal ferromagnetic order.

Influence of the epitaxial strain on magnetic anisotropy in LSMO thin films for spintronics applications / Effet de la contrainte liée à l’épitaxie sur l’anisotropie magnétique dans les couches minces de LSMO en vue d’applications spintroniquesChaluvadi, Sandeep kumar 13 December 2017 (has links)
Nous présentons une étude des effets de contrainte induits par l’épitaxie dans des couches minces La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) (001) (x = 0.33) pour 3 épaisseurs de films (50, 25 et 12 nm) déposés par Ablation Laser Pulsée (PLD) sur différents substrats tels que SrTiO3 (STO) (001), STO buffered MgO (001), NdGaO3 (NGO) (110) et (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT) (001). L’étude est complétée par l’effet de la composition sur les propriétés magnétiques de couches minces de La1-xSrxMnO3 avec x=0,33 et 0,38 déposées par Epitaxie à Jets Moléculaires (MBE). Des caractérisations par diffraction de rayons X (XRD), et microscopie à force atomique (AFM), des mesures de résistivité électrique en quatre points en fonction de la température, d’aimantation par magnetometrie à SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) et d’anisotropie magnétique par magnétométrie magnéto-optique Kerr vectorielle (MOKE) sont présentées. Les évolutions angulaires de l’anisotropie magnétique, de l’aimantation à rémanence, du champ coercitif et du champ de renversement d’aimantation ont ainsi pu être analysées pour des films épitaxiés LSMO de différentes épaisseurs. Des études en fonction de la température complètent les données. L’origine de l’anisotropie (magnétique, magnétocristalline, magnétostrictive ou liée aux effets de marches et d’angle de désorientation du substrat) est finalement discutée. / We report a quantitative analysis of thickness dependent epitaxial strain-induced effects in La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) (001) (x = 0.33) thin films of thicknesses (50, 25 and 12 nm) grown on various single crystal substrates such as SrTiO3 (STO) (001), STO buffered MgO (001), NdGaO3 (NGO) (110) and (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT) (001) by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique. We also report the composition dependent magnetic properties of LSMO thin films with x = 0.33 and 0.38 in particular grown onto LSAT (001) substrate by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The study mainly includes measurements such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), temperature dependent four-probe resistivity, magnetization properties by Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), magnetic anisotropy by Magneto-Optical Kerr Magnetometry (MOKE). Our results highlight the detailed study of angular evolution and thickness dependent magnetic anisotropy, remanence, coercivity and switching field in epitaxial LSMO thin films. Temperature-dependent studies are also performed on few selected films. We will also discuss the cause of magnetic anisotropy in LSMO films i.e., magneto-crystalline and magnetostriction anisotropy and the effects of steps or substrate mis-cut induced anisotropy.

Correlation Between the Structural, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of CoFeB and CoFeB Based Magnetic Tunnel Junctions Upon Laser or Oven AnnealingSharma, Apoorva 23 April 2021 (has links)
Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Untersuchung der maßgeblichen
Herausforderungen der heutigen TMR-Präparation (tunneling magnetoresistance) für beispielsweise Magnetfeldsensor- oder auch Speichertechnologie (MRAM – magnetic random access memory).
Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die elektronischen, strukturellen und magnetischen
Eigenschaften der ferromagnetischen Elektrode eines typischen magnetischen
Tunnelkontaktes, z.B. CoFeB, erforscht, wobei spektroskopische Ellipsometrie, magnetooptische Spektroskopie, Röntgendiffraktometrie und Messverfahren für den spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand zum Einsatz kommen. Weiterhin wurde der Einfluss der Temperatur einer thermischen Behandlung auf die optischen und magneto-optischen Merkmale untersucht, wobei eine starke Korrelation zwischen den beobachteten spektralen Merkmalen und der Kristallisation von CoFeB nachgewiesen wurde. Die (magneto-) optische Spektroskopie bietet somit eine zerstörungsfreie und besonders sensitive Validierungsmethode für die Dünnschichtkristallisation, die in die moderne CMOS Herstellungstechnologie integriert werden kann.
Der zweite Teil der Arbeit befasst sich mit dem lokalen Tempern unter Verwendung eines fokussierten Laserstrahls, mit dem Ziel die Referenzmagnetisierung in einem
magnetischen Tunnelkontakt definiert einzustellen und die Wirkung der hierfür
notwendigen thermischen Behandlung auf die übrigen Schichten im Schichtstapel zu untersuchen. Hierzu wurden zahlreiche Parameter für das laserbasierte lokale Tempern variiert, um die optimale Austauschfeldstärke im magnetischen Referenzsystem einzustellen, idealerweise ohne den gegebenen Schichtstapel zu schädigen. Schließlich wurde der Einfluss des laserbasierten Temperns (als auch des Ofentemperns) auf die Unversehrtheit der Schichten und Grenzflächen, insbesondere auf die Diffusion verschiedener Elemente, mittels Röntgen-Photoemissionsspektroskopie untersucht.

Investigations at Kinlock (22SU526), a Freshwater Mussel Shell Ring in the Delta Region of MississippiCarlock, James Bradley 11 December 2015 (has links)
Kinlock is a freshwater mussel shell ring site located in Sunflower County in the Mississippi Delta. Little work has been done at freshwater mussel shell rings, and therefore little is known about them. This thesis uses four different data collection methods to answer questions of chronology, site layout, etc. These four methods are controlled surface collection, excavation, coring, and magnetometry. Based on the results of these methods, Kinlock was found to be a Woodland period mussel shell ring with a later Mississippian period component built on top of the shell. This later component consisted of five mounds situated around a plaza. It was also found that the plaza was planned and maintained from the Woodland period through the Mississippian period, until the site was abandoned.
