Full textAbstract:
Increased complexity of novel magnetic materials in the last decade has placed high demands on the manufacturing process as well as on the characterization. One of the possibilities for characterization of magnetic samples is to exploit the magneto-optical effects. The presented work uses the magneto-optical Kerr effect as a major characterization technique to probe the magnetic properties of samples. We have developed a mathematical model describing the effect of the magnetization on the polarized light and present an apparatus capable of measuring the response given by the light-matter interaction. The experimental results show the performance of the apparatus on the various magnetic systems including meta-stable iron layers, Stoner-Wohlfarth particles and magnetic vortices. The scanning vectorial Kerr magnetometer allowed us to probe the vector of magnetization with diffraction limited resolution below 500 nm.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis is concerned with switching of vortex circulation in magnetic nanodisks. The results of micromagnetic simulations of hysteresis loops of individual disks with different degrees of asymmetry are presented. The influence of geometric asymmetry of the disk on the shape of the hysteresis loop is discussed as well as switching of vortex circulation in asymmetric nanodisks by external in-plane magnetic field. Simulations of pairs of magnetostatically coupled nanodisks were carried out for different interdisk distances and degrees of asymmetry. By analysing the results of the simulations, the effects of magnetostatic coupling and the asymmetry on resultant circulation of individual vortices were compared and the range of magnetostatic interaction between nanodisks of given dimensions and asymmetry was estimated. Experimental techniques used for fabrication and measurement of the samples are briefly summarized.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis deals with the switching of spin vortices in magnetic nanodisks. First, the basic concepts of (micro)magnetism are defined and existing theoretical and experimental achievements in the field of switching of the two basic characteristics (chirality and polarity) of magnetic vortex are summarized. Then the principle of dynamic switching of magnetic vortex chirality using in-plane magnetic field pulse with a well defined amplitude and duration is presented. There is no need to use a certain shape of nanodisks or asymmetry in magnetic field distribution. Nanostructures were prepared by the multi-step electron beam lithography and ion beam sputtering. Individual steps of sample preparation and optimization for the magnetization dynamics measurements are described. Finally, the experimental measurements of the dynamic switching of chirality on prepared samples obtained by transmission x-ray microscopy at the synchrotron Advanced Light Source at Berkeley, USA are presented and discussed.

This thesis is aimed at studying experimentally the magnetisationdynamics of discs in the sub-micron range made of low dampingferromagnetic materials. For this purpose, an extremely sensitivetechnique has been used: the ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy. A firstpart is devoted to the measurement of the eigenmodes of NiMnSb discstaken in their remanent state: a vortex. The influence of aperpendicular magnetic field on the spin wave modes in the vortex state willbe detailled. Then, the coupling mechanism between the vortex core andthese spin wave, eventually leading to its dynamical reversal, ishighlighted. A theoretical framework of the vortex state is presented,allowing to model the experimental observations. In a second part,the problem of the collective magnetisation dynamics in several FeVdiscs is addressed. Measurements of the collective modes coupled bythe dynamical dipolar interaction are presented, associated with atheoretical modelisation which explain quantitatively the experimentalresults.

Full textAbstract:
Magnetic vortices in ferromagnetic disks are curling magnetization structures characterized by the sense of the spin circulation in the plane of the disk and by the direction of the magnetization in the vortex core. Concepts of memory devices using the magnetic vortices as multibit memory cells have been presented, which brought the high demand for their research in many physical aspects. This work investigates the magnetostatic coupling in pairs of ferromagnetic disks to clarify the influence of nearby disks or other magnetic structures to the vortex nucleation mechanism. To ensure that the vortex nucleation is influenced only by the neighbouring magnetic structures, the randomness of the nucleation process was studied in single disks prior to the work on pairs of disks. We had to ensure that the vortex nucleation is influenced only by the neighbouring magnetic structures and not by an unwanted geometrical asymmetry in the studied disk. Lithographic capabilities were inspected in order to achieve the best possible geometry. Further we present a concept of electrical readout of the spin circulation using the anisotropic magnetoresistance, which allows automated measurements to provide sufficient statistics. To explain the magnetoresistance behaviour, numerical calculations together with magnetic force microscopy measurements are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with magnetic force microscopy of soft magnetic nanostructures, mainly NiFe nanowires and thin-film elements such as discs. The thesis covers almost all aspects related to this technique - i.e. from preparation of magnetic probes and magnetic nanowires, through the measurement itself to micromagnetic simulations of the investigated samples. We observed the cores of magnetic vortices, tiny objects, both with commercial and our home-coated probes. Even domain walls in nanowires 50 nm in diameter were captured with this technique. We prepared functional probes with various magnetic coatings: hard magnetic Co, CoCr and soft NiFe. Hard probes give better signal, whereas the soft ones are more suitable for the measurement of soft magnetic structures as they do not influence significantly the imaged sample. Our probes are at least comparable with the standard commercial probes. The simulations are in most cases in a good agreement with the measurement and the theory. Further, we present our preliminary results of the probe-sample interaction modelling, which can be exploited for the simulation of magnetic force microscopy image even in the case of probe induced perturbations of the sample.

Magnetické vortexy jsou charakterizovány směrem stáčení magnetizace a polarizací vortexového jádra, přičemž každá z těchto veličin nabývá dvojice stavů. Ve výsledku jsou tak k dispozici čtyři možné stabilní konfigurace, čehož může být využito v multibitových paměťových zařízeních. Tato dizertační práce se zabývá selektivním zápisem stavů magnetického vortexu v magnetickém disku pulzem elektrického proudu stejně jako jejich následným elektrickým čtením. Před samotnou realizací elektrických měření byla provedena statická měření přepínání stavů vortexu pomocí různých proudových pulzů v kombinaci s technikami MFM a následně MTXM. Následně byl realizován dynamický odečet stavu vortexu kompletně založený na elektrických měřeních. Ovládání cirkulace vortexu je založeno na geometrické asymetrii vytvořené oříznutím magnetického disku a vytvořením fazety. Plochý okraj disku definuje preferenční smysl stáčení cirkulace během procesu nukleace vortexu. Řízení polarity se obvykle provádí ve dvou krocích. V prvním kroku, homogenně magnetizovaná vrstva s kolmou magnetickou anizotropií umístěná na dně disku definuje výchozí polaritu vortexu v době nukleace. V druhém kroku, je-li to nutné, je polarita vortexu přepnuta pomocí rychlého proudového pulzu. Proto je možné nastavit požadovaný stav cirkulace vysláním nanosekundového pulsu s nízkou amplitudou, následované nastavením polarity pikosekundovým pulsem s vysokou amplitudou. Stavy vortexů jsou pak detekovány elektrickou spektroskopií prostřednictvím anizotropní magnetorezistence. Vzorky pro všechna statická a dynamická měření byly připraveny pomocí elektronové litografie v kombinaci s lift-off procesem.

Récemment, les études des propriétés de vortex Abrikosov dans des systèmes fortement anisotropes et magnétiques ont été stimulées par la découverte des supraconducteurs à base de fer et des supraconducteurs ferromagnétiques.Dans cette thèse nous étudions la statique et la dynamique de vortex dans ces systèmes. D’abord, le problème de l'interaction de vortex avec un petit défaut a été examiné dans le cadre de la théorie de Ginzburg-Landau. Le potentiel de pinning pour une cavité cylindrique elliptique a été calculé. D'autre part, la conductivité d'un supraconducteur anisotrope à l'état mixte a été analysée en détail dans le cadre de la théorie de Ginzburg-Landau dépendant du temps.Une partie significative de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude de l'interaction entre lesondes de spin (magnons) et vortex dans les supraconducteurs ferromagnétiques.Nous avons démontré que le spectre de magnon acquiert une structure de bande en présence d'un réseau de vortex idéal. En utilisant les équations phénoménologiques de London et de Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert, nous avons étudié les réponses ac et dc de vortex dans les supraconducteurs ferromagnétiques. Enfin, nous avons examiné l'état de vortex dans des structures hybrides supraconducteur(S)-ferromagnétique(F)(par exemple, super-réseaux FS) avec une forte dispersion spatiale de la susceptibilité magnétique. Dans ces systèmes l'électrodynamique supraconductrice peut être fortement non locale, qui mène à l'attraction des vortex et à une transition de phase du premier ordre dans la phase de vortexRecently, the studies of the properties of Abrikosov vortices in strongly anisotropicand magnetic media have been stimulated by the discovery of the iron-based andferromagnetic superconductors. In this thesis an analysis of vortex statics anddynamics in such systems has been carried out. Firstly, the problem of vortex pinningon a small defect has been considered. Within the Ginzburg-Landau theory thepinning potential for a cavity in the form of an elliptical cylinder has been derived.Secondly, the flux-flow conductivity of an anisotropic superconductor has beenanalyzed in detail within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory.A significant part of the thesis is devoted to the study of interplay between spinwaves (magnons) and vortices in ferromagnetic superconductors. We havedemonstrated that the magnon spectrum acquires a Bloch-like band structure in thepresence of an ideal vortex lattice. Using the phenomenological London and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations, we studied the ac and dc responses of vortices inferromagnetic superconductors. Finally, we investigated the vortex state insuperconductor-ferromagnet (FS) hybrid structures (e. g., FS superlattices) withstrong spatial dispersion of the magnetic susceptibility. In such systems thesuperconducting electrodynamics may be strongly nonlocal, which leads to theattraction of vortices and to a first order phase transition at the lower critical field

In this work the dynamics of permalloy circular magnetic islands of 225 nm radius and 10 nm thickness arranged into square lattices was investigated employing micromagnetic simulations.The simulations of the vortex magnetization loops and the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra were carried out using a free micromagnetics simulation software Mumax3. The obtained data was analyzed using Matlab. The simulations were carried out on a single vortex island as well as on two different lattices. The first lattice is comprised of interacting islands, while the second lattice - of non-interacting islands, separated by 25 nm and by 450 nm edge-to-edge distance, respectively. The magnetization loops were simulated by applying the static magnetic field in-plane of the single island or the lattice. The FMR simulations were carried out by applying the static magnetic field in-plane of the lattice and after the system reached the ground state in that field, the excitation as a sinc pulse was sent out along the out-of-plane direction of the lattice. The analysis of the obtained FMR spectra revealed that the several resonant modes are present for the single vortex island and the lattice, comprised of such islands. However, the physical explanation of the origin of those modes is a subject for further investigations.

Resumo: Durante este trabalho, estudamos a viabilidade de uma nova classe de partículas magnéticas otimizadas para a hipertermia magnética e que denominamos VIP (Vortex Iron oxide Particle). Estas partículas são compostas de óxidos de ferro (magnetita ou maghemita) e assumem a forma de nanoanéis ou nanotubos. Tal morfologia confere as partículas um comportamento magnético peculiar, fruto de seu estado magnético denominado vórtice. Graças a este estado magnético, estas partículas possuem uma resposta para hipertermia superior, se comparadas aos SPIONs (Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles) tradicionalmente usados para este fim, atendendo os pré-requisitos para aplicações biomédicas (baixas toxicidade e remanência). Os experimentos realizados no trabalho se focaram em duas linhas principais. Na primeira, avaliamos o desempenho das VIPs para hipertermia magnética em um ambiente in vitro. Neste experimento, avaliamos tanto a citotoxicidade das partículas quanto os mecanismos que promovem a morte celular. Estes resultados mostraram que as VIPs não são citotóxicas. Além disso, observamos também que o tamanho e a forma das partículas permitem que estas sejam internalizadas, promovendo um processo de hipertermia magnética muito eficiente. De fato, o experimento de hipertermia in vitro mostrou que as VIPs são capazes de alcançar um alto grau de seletividade, matando principalmente as células que internalizam as VIPs minimizando o aquecimento do meio celular e reduzindo assim o dano às células vizinhas. Na segunda linha, trabalhamos no desenvolvimento de uma VIP recoberta com material antiferromagnético (AFM), cujo desempenho para hipertermia magnética seria superior ao da própria VIP testada nos experimentos in vitro. Desenvolvemos um extenso estudo teórico fundamental, baseado em simulações micromagnéticas, que permitiram prever muitos dos fenômenos que seriam observados experimentalmente. No entanto os experimentos para a síntese da VIP@AFM não foram completamente finalizados, impossibilitando maiores conclusões sobre o sistema simulado. Sendo assim, acreditamos que os resultados alcançados no projeto promoveram o desenvolvimento de partículas magnéticas otimizadas para hipertermia magnética. Tanto por mostrar sua viabilidade, quando testados in vitro, quanto por promover o conceito da VIP@AFM como um próximo passo para o aprimoramento desta classe de partículas
Abstract: In this work, we studied the feasibility of a new class of magnetic particles named as Vortex Iron oxide Particle or VIP and specifically designed for magnetic hyperthermia. Those iron oxide (magnetite or magnetite) particles have a ring shape morphology that grants them a very specific magnetic configuration know as vortex state. This magnetic configuration would grant a superior hyperthermia response when compared to the traditional Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Particle (SPION) without compromising biomedical requirements as low cytotoxicity and lack of magnetic remanence. The experiments presented on this work explored two main paths. The first one evaluated the VIP performance in vitro. We were able to assess both the cytotoxicity of the particle as to observe the killing mechanism. The results showed that the VIPs are not cytotoxic and that the size and shape of the particle may promote the internalization of those particles, resulting on a very efficient magnetic hyperthermia. With the in vivo experiment, we notice a high degree of selectivity, thanks to the cell internalization, that preserved the surrounding cells. In the second research path, we further developed the concept of a VIP, by creating a core-shell structure where the VIP would be coated by an antiferromagnetic (AFM) material and improving the magnetic hyperthermia response. However, the experiments for the development of the VIP@AFM were not completed. Although we were able to complete a study based on micromagnetic simulations, the experiments intending to fabricate the VIP@AFM were not fully successful, preventing any further conclusion about this system. In any case, we believe that the results achieved on this project represent an important contribution to the development of magnetic hyperthermia specific particles

Cette thèse propose de réaliser des micro/nano-pinces magnétiques articulées dont l'actionnement à distance est obtenu par l'application d'un champ magnétique. Cette idée innovante consiste à relier par l'un de leurs côtés deux microparticules magnétiques parallélépipédiques à l'aide d'une nano-charnière en or flexible. Destinées à des applications biotechnologiques et médicales, ces pinces ont pour finalité de capturer des micro/nano-objets ciblés biochimiquement pour y appliquer et mesurer des forces. Le défi de ce projet était de mener, à partir d'une idée simple, un ensemble d'études à la fois théoriques et technologiques, pour aboutir à une première preuve de concept. Dans ce but, un modèle analytique a d'abord été construit pour prédire le comportement magnéto-mécanique des pinces en fonction de divers paramètres physiques. Ensuite, un procédé de fabrication inspiré des techniques de la microélectronique a été développé pour parvenir à la réalisation d'un prototype de pince fonctionnel. Enfin, l'ouverture par l'action d'un champ magnétique de pinces fixées à un substrat, a pu être démontrée à l'aide d'une expérience originale installée dans un microscope électronique à balayage. Les résultats de ces expériences, en bon accord avec nos prédictions théoriques, ont permis de quantifier le comportement mécanique de la nano-charnière en or. Fixées à un substrat, ces pinces forment un réseau de micro-surfaces réfléchissantes qui trouveront des applications en microfluidique (bio-puces) ou en nano-physique. Libérées en solution, les pinces pourraient être employées de manière originale en micro-manipulation d'objets biologiques ou diagnostic et thérapie cellulaireThe objective of this thesis was to elaborate magnetic micro/nano-tweezers remotely actuable by the application of a magnetic field. This innovative idea consists in binding two parallelepiped magnetic microparticles by one of their sides with a flexible gold nano-hinge. Intended for biotechnological and medical applications, these tweezers aim at capturing biochemically targeted micro/nano-objects, in order to exert forces on them and perform force measurements. In this project starting from a simple idea, the challenge was to carry out theoretical and technological studies leading to a first proof of concept. To this end, an analytical model was first elaborated to predict the magneto-elastic behavior of the tweezers, depending on various physical parameters. Then, a fabrication process inspired from microelectronic techniques was developed to complete a functional prototype of tweezers. Finally, the remote actuation of such tweezers, kept attached to a substrate, by the application of a magnetic field, was demonstrated using an original experiment set up inside a scanning electron microscope. These experiments yielded results in good agreement with our theoretical predictions and allowed the quantification of the gold nano-hinge elastic behavior. Attached to a substrate, these tweezers constitute an array of reflective micro-surfaces, which can find applications in microfluidics (biochips) or in nano-physics. Released in solution, the tweezers could be used in an original way for biological objects micro-manipulation or cell diagnostic and the

Full textAbstract:
The ability of a ferromagnet to maintain its magnetic state in the absence of an external magnetic field has made ferromagnetic materials an important subject of study in physics since the end of the 19th century. Moreover, ferromagnetic materials are the cornerstone for data storage systems such as magnetic tapes, magnetic disk drives and magnetic random access memory. The discovery of the Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) in 1988 suggested that, since the magnetic state of the electrical conductor has an important effect upon the current flow, there may also be an inverse influence of the current upon the magnetization. In this effect, predicted in 1989 [1] by Slonczewski and called Spin Transfer Torque, angular momentum transferred by a spin polarized current can exert a torque on the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material, changing the local magnetization and stimulating the precession of the magnetic moments, generating microwave signals. This provides a new method of manipulating magnetization without applying an external field. Large polarized currents lead to spin transfer effects which are the driving force for the magnetic dynamics of devices known as Spin Transfer Oscillators (STO). In this new kind of nano-device the emission of microwaves is stimulated by a DC electrical current and measured as a change in the output voltage due the GMR effect. The specific characteristics of these devices such as working frequency and DC current ranges, microwave emission linewidth, and maximum emission power among others, are given by the design and size of the device,and the nature of the magnetic oscillations producing the emission. Among the multiple types of STO that now exist , I have focused my research upon three of them: Spin Transfer Vortex Oscillators (STVO), Single Layer Spin Transfer Oscillators (SL-STO) and Orthogonal Pseudo Spin Valves. Within STVOs and SL-STOs we can nucleate what is called a magnetic vortex. A magnetic vortex is a curling of the in-plane of a magnetic layer with its centre pointing out of the magnetization plane. The gyration of this vortex due to STT produces a microwave emission < 1GHz with a greater emission power than that produced by the precession of magnetic moments in STOs. The phase-locked synchronisation of multiple vortices is expected to exhibit enhanced microwaved power and phase stability compared to a single vortex device, providing a solution to the drawbacks of the STO in the low frequency regime. On the other hand, Orthogonal Pseudo Spin Valves promote the nucleation of magnetic dissipative solitons, also called magnetic droplets. This type of magnetic structure has an opposite out of plane magnetization to the layer that contains it. Compared to the microwave emission of magnetic vortices , magnetic droplets have a higher frequency range and emission power. However, their nucleation is subject to large external fields being applied to the sample. In this thesis, I electrically characterized these devices and applied magnetic imaging techniques in order to go further in the understanding of the spatial features and dynamic behaviour of these magnetic structures. It is not possible to acquire this knowledge by only using electrical characterization. Understanding the magnetization dynamics in these devices is crucial for the design of STO based devices while imaging studies are required to prove the existence of these magnetic structures, as in case of the magnetic droplet. In chapter 2 I will introduce the background concepts of magnetism that are relevant to this thesis. I will go from the basics principles of ferromagnetism, its quantum mechanical treatment, and the theory that explain the dynamics of the magnetisation. I will also present the state of the art in experimental research in the field of spin transfer oscillators. My aim is to give the basic background needed to understand the results presented in this thesis. In chapter 3 I will introduce the two main experimental techniques used for imaging the magnetisation of the devices presented: Holography with Extended Reference by Autocorrelation Linear Differential Operator (HERALDO) and Time Resolved Scanning Kerr Microscopy (TRSKM). I will revise the theoretical background concepts and the development of the techniques in order to demostrate the uniqueness of each technique and how they were used in this thesis. It is interesting to note that while MOKE is a well-known and widely-used technique, far fewer laboratories in the world area able to perform time resolved measurements using MOKE, with the University of Exeter being one of them. Furthermore, HERALDO is a novel technique that is used for the first time to image magnetic structures within multilayer systems in this thesis, which is a milestone in the development of the techinque. In chapter 4 I present an investigation of the magnetization dynamics of a SL-STO. Electrical transport measurements provided an initial characterization of the device. We then used HERALDO for the first time to investigate the magnetization dynamics in an intermediate layer of a multilayer stack. We present time averaged measurements of the magnetisation of a magnetic vortex formed underneath a nano contact (NC) positioned on top of the multilayer, using a combination of x-ray holography and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. In chapter 5 I present the first direct measurement at the time of a magnetic dissipative droplet, using holography with extended reference autocorrelation by linear differential operator (HERALDO). I studied the out of plane magnetisation of the free layer under a NC within an orthogonal pseudo spin salve. In chapter 6 I present and study STVO devices with pairs of NCs of 100 nm diameter and centre-to-centre separation D = 200 to 1100 nm, by a combination of electrical measurements and time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy (TRSKM). It will be shown that the dynamic behaviour of vortices and anti vortices changes when the distances between the NCs within the devices is changed.

We perform micromagnetic simulations in MuMax3 on various magneticnanostructures to study their magnetic state and response to external fields. Theinteraction and ordering of nanomagnetic arrays is investigated by calculating themagnetostatic energies for various configurations. These energies are then used inMonte Carlo simulation to study the thermal behaviour of systems of nanomagneticarrays. We find that the magnetic state of the nanostructures are related to theirshape and size and furthermore affect the emergent properties of the system, givingrise to temperature dependent ordering among the individual structures. Results fromboth micromagnetic and statistical mechanic simulations agree well with availableexperimental data, although the Monte Carlo algorithm encounter problems at lowsimulation temperatures.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis we have studied the vortex dynamics in type-2 superconducting thin films made of La1.82Sr0.18CuO4, patterned Pb and MgB2, by means of the combination of microwave, dc and ac measurements. In particular, we explore first the magnetic moment response in real time under continuous and pulsed microwave mode, and second commensurability effects both in presence of microwave fields under ac susceptibility mode and using microwave reflection spectrometry.
To carry out these measurements, we have designed and developed a low-temperature microwave setup to be used inside of an rf-SQUID-based magnetometer. This layout has been used to perform measurements under different microwave modes, namely sweeping, pulsed and power reflected. A theoretical model has been proposed to obtain an estimation of the characteristic frequencies and the electric and magnetic fields of the resonant structure formed by a multi-turn coil with a sample loaded in its core.
We presents the results on vortex dynamics of superconducting thin films made of La1.82Sr0.18CuO4, patterned Pb and MgB2 under continuous and pulsed microwave modes. In the first set of experiments, the temporal- and frequency-dependent magnetic moment has been investigated at different values of the temperature, dc magnetic fields, and nominal microwave power in the three samples. Irregularities forming ripples, small steps, jumps and negative peaks at discrete frequency values under different thermodynamics variables (temperature and dc magnetic field) and microwave nominal powers have registered. The presence of these frequency-triggered anomalies has been interpreted as nucleation of instabilities in the propagation of the flux front and explained by considering the energy fed at some specific resonant modes, the vortex dynamics in thin-film geometry, and the contribution from the microwave electric and magnetic fields generated in the coil. In the second set of experiments, the temporal evolution of the sample magnetization has been recorded when single microwave pulses are applied at fixed values of temperature, dc magnetic fields, pulse duration and nominal power in the La1.82Sr0.18CuO4, and MgB2 samples. The onset of a significant variation in the sample magnetization which exists below threshold values of temperature, dc magnetic field, and pulse duration is interpreted as an avalanche-like flux penetration. The microwave fields are suggested to contribute to the nucleation of the fast vortex diffusion. The additional microwave electric field is surmised to guarantees the occurrence vortex instabilities under adiabatic conditions via the enhancement of the flux flow resistivity.
We expose results obtained for patterned Pb under ac susceptibility and microwave power reflection techniques. The in-phase and out-of-phase components of the ac susceptibility are measured under the combination of crossed dc and microwave magnetic fields at different fixed values of microwave power and frequency for temperature close to Tc. The results show that commensurability effects are strongly dependent on the values of the frequency and nominal power of the microwave radiation. The magnetic field dependence of the microwave backward reflection coefficient is studied in a wide range of temperature (from 6.80 K to 7.20 K) at different fixed microwave resonant modes and powers. Commensurability effects related to the matching of the vortex lattice parameter and the antidot array spacing at integer and fractional matching field values have been observed as peaks in the magnetic field dependence of the microwave backward reflection coefficient for different values of temperature, frequency and power. These peaks appear as a result of the contribution of the vortex dynamics to the reflected signal a the matching fields and their observation depends on the values of the microwave power supplied to the sample.L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi és estudiar la dinàmica de vòrtexs en diverses capes primes superconductores de tipus-2. En particular, explorem la resposta del moment magnètic en temps real a camps continus i polsats de microones. A més, estudiem els efectes de commensurabilitat mitjançant mesures de susceptibilitat magnètica en presència de camps de microones, i fent servir també espectrometria de reflexió de microones. Les mostres utilitzades en aquesta tesis són mostres de capes primes superconductores fetes de LaSrCuO, Pb amb una formació periòdica micro-forats o antidots i MgB2. Les mesures dels moments magnètics, de la magnetització en funció del temps i de la susceptibilitat magnètica es van realitzar amb un magnetòmetre MPMS basat en un dispositiu rf-SQUID. Per realitzar mesures de microones a baixes temperatures, es va dissenyar una sonda formada per un cable coaxial semi-rígid el qual acaba en una bobina de múltiples voltes amb la mostra localitzada al seu nucli (CS). Per caracteritzar l’estructura ressonant formada pel CS, s’ha proposat un model teòric basat en el ressonador helicoïdal. L’estudi de la dinàmica de vòrtexs sota l’escombrat de freqüència es va dur a terme en les tres mostres esmentades anteriorment. La relaxació monòtona és interrompuda per la presència d’irregularitats en forma de salts, pics negatius, ondulacions i petits passos. Aquestes anomalies apareixen a cert valors de la freqüència de microones i a diferents valors de les variables termodinàmiques (temperatura i camp magnètic continu) i dels paràmetres d’excitació de microones (potència i freqüència). La presència d’irregularitats en la resposta del moment magnètic en funció de la freqüència apareix determinada per la freqüència ressonant del CS. Altres aspectes que poden afavorir l’aparició d’aquestes irregularitats són la geometria de la capa fina i la contribució dels camps elèctrics i magnètics de microones. Aquests últims resulten significatius a la vora de la regió mostra-bobina i poden ajudar a activar inestabilitats termo-electromagnètiques dels vòrtexs. Particularment, la contribució del camp elèctric pot facilitar el desenvolupament d’aquesta mena d’inestabilitat en condicions adiabàtiques. El registre de la variació temporal de la magnetització sota la influència d’un pols de microones es va dur a terme en las mostres LaSrCuO i MgB2. Les corbes d’evolució temporal de la variació de la magnetització mostren clarament un règim de ràpida difusió dels vòrtexs. Aquest règims existeixen dins d’un marge de valors del camp magnètic continu, la temperatura, i la durada del pols. A més, aquestes corbes presenten valors de màxima difusió en funció d’aquests mateixos paràmetres. La presència d’aquestes inestabilitats disparades pels pols sembla que resulten de la contribució dels camps elèctrics i magnètics de microones i de la geometria de capa prima. Les mesures dels components de la susceptibilitat magnètica en funció del camp magnètic continu irradiat amb diferents valors de potència i freqüència de microones mostren els característics efectes de commensurabilitat per a múltiples enters i fraccionaris dels camps de coincidència (matching). Les corbes a diferents valors de freqüència i potència mostra que l’augment de qualsevol d’aquest dos paràmetres resulta en la reducció de l’apantallament i l’increment de la dissipació. Aquest efecte va ser confirmat realitzant mesures de les components de la susceptibilitat magnètica en funció de la potència als diferents valors de la freqüència de microones. Les corbes del mòdul del coeficient de reflexió de microones en funció del camp magnètic continu a una potència i freqüència de microones fixes, mesurades a diferents valors de temperatura, mostren clarament els efectes de commensurabilitat. L’empremta d’aquest efecte es mostra en forma de pics a valors enters i fraccionaris dels camps de coincidència. L’observació dels pics a les corbes del coeficient de reflexió apareix com a resultat de la contribució de la dinàmica de vòrtexs al senyal reflectit als camps de coincidència. La presència d’aquest pics es pot explicar considerant els conceptes de la conductivitat complexa del model de dos fluids, la longitud de penetració de London i les forces que descriuen la dinàmica de vòrtexs en l’equació de balanç fenomenològic. Les limitacions tèrmiques de la sonda experimental han estat testades fent mesures del coeficient de reflexió en funció del camp magnètic continu a diferents valors de la potència de microones, per a valors fixos de temperatura.

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet de cette thèse concerne la dynamique auto-entretenue excitée par transfert de spin de vortex couplés, dans des structures de type nano-piliers vannes de spin (Py/Cu/Py). Un premier objectif a été de comprendre les processus de transport polarisé en spin et de transfert de spin associés à des configurations d’aimantation fortement non-homogènes. Cette étude a permis d‘identifier et ainsi de précisément contrôler les configurations magnétiques à base de vortex, et en particulier d’observer l’influence du transfert de spin sur les mécanismes de renversement du cœur de vortex. En combinant des calculs analytiques et des simulations micro-magnétiques, nous avons également pu déterminer les conditions sur les paramètres relatifs des deux vortex (chiralités et polarités) pour obtenir des oscillations gyrotropiques couplées auto-entretenues de deux vortex dans un pilier unique. Un cas très intéressant est prévu pour les piliers de plus grands diamètres (typiquement supérieurs à 200nm) pour lesquels le courant critique est réduit potentiellement à zéro. Les résultats expérimentaux confirment les prédictions sur l’existence d’une dynamique couplée de vortex, avec des largeurs de raies atteignant 200kHz, un record à champ nul (soit un facteur de qualité Q ≈ 5000, un ordre de grandeur plus grand que pour les auto-oscillations de vortex unique) et diminuant même jusqu’à 50kHz sous champ extérieur. Un second objectif de ce travail a été l’étude de la synchronisation de deux auto-oscillateurs à transfert de spin à base de vortex. Nous avons démontré que le verrouillage des phases par couplage dipolaire de deux oscillateurs identiques peut être théoriquement obtenu indépendamment des paramètres des deux vortex. Toutefois un couplage trois fois plus important est prévu dans le cas de vortex de polarités opposées. Du point de vue expérimental, des premiers résultats ont permis de démontrer une faculté de synchronisation de deux oscillateurs présentant un écart en fréquence atteignant jusqu'à 10% de leurs fréquences d'auto-oscillation. Ce travail de thèse, qui s’inscrit dans l’effort de recherche mené pour améliorer les performances rf des nano-oscillateurs à transfert de spin, a permis d’illustrer que l’excitation de modes d’aimantations couplées est une voie à poursuivre dans le but d’aboutir à des largeurs de raies de plus en plus faiblesMy PhD work is dedicated to the spin transfer induced self-sustained dynamics of two coupled vortices, in nano-pillars spin-valves structures (Py/Cu/Py). A first objective was to understand the spin-polarized transport processes as well as spin transfer mechanisms associated to highly non-homogeneous magnetic configurations. This study allows me to identify and then precisely tune the vortex based magnetic configurations, and notably to observe the influence of spin transfer on reversal mechanisms of the vortex core. Combining analytical calculations and micro-magnetic simulations, we determine the conditions on relative parameters for the two vortices (chiralities and polarities) necessary to obtain self-sustained gyrotropic oscillations of the coupled vortices in a single pillar. A very interesting case is predicted for the pillars with larger diameters (typically over 200nm) for which the critical current is reduced to zero. The experimental results confirm the predictions that a coupled dynamics exists with linewidths as narrow as 200kHz, that is a record at zero field (corresponding to a quality factor Q ≈ 5000, an order of magnitude over the self-sustained oscillations of a single vortex), and even down to 50kHz under external field.A second objective was to investigate the synchronization of two vortex based spin transfer oscillators. We demonstrate theoretically that the phase locking through dipolar coupling of two identical oscillators can be achieved for any parameters of the two vortex. However, the coupling is three times stronger when vortices have opposite core polarities. From an experimental point of view, the synchronization capability for two oscillators having a frequency mismatch reaching up to 10 % of the auto-oscillation frequency has been demonstrated. This work, being part of the research effort made to improve the rf properties of spin transfer nano-oscillators emphasizes how the excitation of coupled magnetizations modes is important to reach lower and lower linewidths

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif principal de cette thèse vise la compréhension et la maitrise des mécanismes physiques menant à l’excitation du mode gyrotropique de vortex magnétique par transfert de spin, et en particulier l’origine des sources de bruit affectant sa dynamique. Ce travail est effectué dans la perspective de parvenir à l’amélioration des propriétés radiofréquences de ces dispositifs appelés Spin Transfer Oscillator.En effet, ces oscillateurs ont l’avantage d’être de taille submicronique (quelques dizaines à quelques centaines de nm), d’être compatibles avec les technologies CMOS et d’être résistants aux radiations. De plus, les mécanismes d’aimantation mis en jeu leur assurent une forte dépendance de la fréquence avec le courant, i.e. une bonne accordabilité, ainsi qu’une réponse dynamique rapide i.e. une agilité élevée. Cependant, différentes questions restent en suspens quant à la possibilité d’améliorer leurs conditions d’oscillations, leur puissance et la cohérence de leurs oscillations.Un premier aspect de mon travail de thèse a été d’étudier l’influence des fluctuations thermiques sur la dynamique entretenue du mode gyrotropique du cœur de vortex. Un des résultats a été de montrer que le bruit de phase du mode gyrotropique résulte majoritairement de fluctuations de phase issues directement des fluctuations thermiques auxquelles s’ajoutent des fluctuations d’amplitude converties en fluctuations de phase. Grâce à un modèle analytique, nous avons pu mettre en évidence le rôle important joué par les non-linéarités des forces agissant sur le vortex. De plus, nous avons pu mesurer les paramètres caractéristiques de l’oscillateur, à savoir, la rapidité à changer sa fréquence mais aussi le facteur de couplage amplitude-phase.La seconde étape de mes travaux a consisté à améliorer les conditions d’obtention de signal rf. Un résultat majeur de ce travail a été l’obtention d’un signal rf puissant en absence de champ magnétique. Les puissances mesurées sont de quelques centaines de µW correspondant à des largeurs de raie faibles allant de quelques centaines de kHz à quelques MHz. Cette spécificité est rendue possible pour une structure complexe de l’oscillateur où la couche magnétique qui polarise en spin le courant a une aimantation perpendiculaire et est différente de la couche de référence pour la magnétorésistance.La troisième étape a été d’optimiser le rendement de l’oscillateur. Un des résultats marquants est que nous avons pu mesurer une puissance rf émise record s’élevant à 3.6 µW, encore jamais obtenue à température ambiante pour les oscillateurs à transfert de spin à base de vortex. Ces fortes puissances résultent du développement de nouvelles jonctions à base de FeB effectués par le groupe de S. Yuasa (AIST, Japon) pour lesquelles l’amélioration de la qualité de la jonction, nous a permis d’obtenir une magnétorésistance atteignant 125% .La faible taille de l’oscillateur a donc un coût qui se paye en termes de bruit de phase. Une solution qui permettrait de résoudre cette limitation et d’améliorer la cohérence des oscillations est la synchronisation mutuelle de plusieurs oscillateurs à transfert de spin au travers des courants rf émis par chacun. Ainsi, la dernière étape de ma thèse a été d’étudier le comportement du mode gyrotropique lorsqu’il est soumis à un courant alternatif. Un résultat important a été de montrer, grâce à une étude expérimentale appuyée sur un modèle analytique, le rôle crucial des non-linéarités et des symétries des forces de synchronisation du mode excité.Ces différents travaux nous ont fournis les outils pour mieux comprendre la dynamique du vortex magnétique et nous ont amené à mettre en place un banc de mesure original pour lequel l’oscillateur se synchronise sur lui-même. En fonction du retard avec lequel le signal émis par l’oscillateur est réinjecté, nous avons pu montrer pour la première fois que la fréquence, la puissance mais aussi la largeur de raie des oscillations peuvent être moduléesThe main goal of this thesis is the understanding of the physical mechanisms and the subsequent control of the properties at the origin of the spin transfer induced magnetic vortex gyrotropic motion in confined systems. In particular the origin of the noise affecting the dynamics has been investigated. This work has been performed with a view to improving the radiofrequency (rf) properties of the so-called Spin Transfer Oscillator (STO).The advantages of such oscillators are their sub-micron size (from few tens to hundreds of nanometres), their compatibility with CMOS technologies and their radiation hardness. Moreover, the magnetization dynamics involved permit a large tunability of frequency as a function of the applied current and a high agility i.e. a fast dynamical response. Nevertheless, several open questions exist regarding the possible optimization of the sustained oscillation conditions and the improvement of the STO power and spectral coherence.The first aspect of my work was to investigate the influence of thermal fluctuations over the sustained vortex core gyrotropic motion. One of the key results of my thesis was to show that the phase noise results from direct phase fluctuations from thermal fluctuations plus amplitude fluctuations converted to phase noise. With an analytical model, we were able to highlight the major role played by the non-linearities of the forces acting on the vortex core. In addition, we were able to measure the characteristic parameters of the oscillator, namely, the speed of frequency response to perturbations as well as the phase-amplitude coupling coefficient.The second important part of my work has been to improve the conditions for obtaining an rf signal. An important result of this work was the measurement of a powerful rf signal in the absence of a magnetic field. The measured powers are a few hundred milliwatts and correspond to low linewidths, ranging from a few hundred kilohertz to a few megahertz. The zero field behaviour was made possible due to the complex structure of the oscillator where the magnetic layer which polarizes the spin current has a perpendicular magnetization, in contrast to the in-plane polarized reference layer.The third step was to optimize the performance of the oscillator. One of the striking results of this thesis is that we measured a record rf output power, up to 3.6 µW, the largest obtained at room temperature for vortex based STOs so far. This high output power results from the development of new FeB based junctions made by the group of Pr. S. Yuasa (AIST, Japan), where the improvement of the quality of the junction allowed us to obtain a magnetoresistance up to 125%.The small size of the oscillator has a cost that is paid in terms of the phase noise. One possible solution that would solve this limitation and enhance the coherence of the oscillations is via mutual synchronization of several STOs through rf currents emitted by each oscillator. Thus, the last stage of my thesis was to study the behaviour of gyrotropic motion when subjected to an alternating current. An important result was to show, through an experimental study in conjunction with an analytical model, the crucial role of the non-linearities and symmetries of the synchronization forces.These various studies have provided us the tools to better understand the dynamics of magnetic vortex and led us to develop an original tester for which the oscillator synchronizes itself with its own rf signal. Depending on the delay at which the oscillator is fed back, we showed for the first time that the frequency, the power and also the linewidth of the oscillations can be modulated

L'imagerie de champs magnétiques de faible amplitude avec une résolution spatiale à l'échelle nanométrique est un enjeu important dans de nombreux domaines de la physique et pour de multiples applications, que ce soit par exemple en science des matériaux pour le stockage magnétique de l'information, ou bien en optique quantique afin de pouvoir contrôler un spin individuel utilisé comme bit quantique, ou encore en biophysique pour l'étude structurelle de protéines par résonance magnétique. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse décrit la réalisation d'un magnétomètre à balayage fondé sur la réponse magnétique du spin électronique d'un centre coloré NV du diamant. Un tel magnétomètre présente des propriétés sans équivalent, en combinant une résolution spatiale sub-nanométrique, assurée par la dimension atomique du capteur, et une très haute sensibilité (< 1 µT/Hz^(-1/2)), ceci même à température ambiante. De plus la mesure de champ magnétique est quantitative et non perturbative, offrant ainsi un avantage majeur par rapport à la microscopie à force magnétique couramment utilisée pour l'imagerie magnétique de nanostructures. Nous aborderons, dans un premier temps, les problématiques liées à la fabrication de la sonde magnétique, constituée par un centre coloré NV unique dans un nanocristal de diamant positionné à l'extrémité d'une pointe AFM. Les propriétés de ce magnétomètre seront caractérisées en imageant le champ de fuite d'un disque dur magnétique. Cette étude nous permettra d'introduire différentes méthodes d'imagerie magnétique et de comparer leurs performances. Le magnétomètre à centre NV sera par la suite utilisé pour imager des distributions d'aimantation vortex dans des plots ferromagnétiques, dont le cœur est connu pour être l'un des objets les plus petits du micromagnétisme, le rendant extrêmement difficile à observer. Les propriétés du magnétomètre à centre coloré NV du diamant, démontrées dans cette thèse, ouvrent la voie à de nombreuse études en nanomagnétisme et en spintronique.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, two selected topics in magnetism are studied using theoretical modelling and computational methods. The first of these is the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) of transition metal based magnets. In particular, ways of finding 3d transition metal based materials with large MAE are considered. This is motivated by the need for new permanent magnet materials, not containing rare-earth elements, but is also of interest for other technological applications, where the MAE is a key quantity. The mechanisms of the MAE in the relevant materials are reviewed and approaches to increasing this quantity are discussed. Computational methods, largely based on density functional theory (DFT), are applied to guide the search for relevant materials. The computational work suggests that the MAE of Fe1-xCox alloys can be significantly enhanced by introducing a tetragonality with interstitial B or C impurities. This is also experimentally corroborated. Alloying is considered as a method of tuning the electronic structure around the Fermi energy and thus also the MAE, for example in the tetragonal compound (Fe1-xCox)2B. Additionally, it is shown that small amounts (2.5-5 at.%) of various 5d dopants on the Fe/Co-site can enhance the MAE of this material with as much as 70%. The magnetic properties of several technologically interesting, chemically ordered, L10 structured binary compounds, tetragonal Fe5Si1-xPxB2 and Hexagonal Laves phase Fe2Ta1-xWx are also investigated. The second topic studied is that of magnetic effects on the elastic scattering of fast electrons, in the context of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A multislice solution is implemented for a paraxial version of the Pauli equation. Simulations require the magnetic fields in the sample as input. A realistic description of magnetism in a solid, for this purpose, is derived in a scheme starting from a DFT calculation of the spin density or density matrix. Calculations are performed for electron vortex beams passing through magnetic solids and a magnetic signal, defined as a difference in intensity for opposite orbital angular momentum beams, integrated over a disk in the diffraction plane, is observed. For nanometer sized electron vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum of a few tens of ħ, a relative magnetic signal of order 10-3 is found. This is considered realistic to be observed in experiments. In addition to electron vortex beams, spin polarised and phase aberrated electron beams are considered and also for these a magnetic signal, albeit weaker than that of the vortex beams, can be obtained.Felaktigt ISBN i den tryckta versionen: 9789155497149

Random number generation can be based on physical events with probabilistic character, or on algorithms that use complex or one-way functions, alternatively on both of these approaches. A magnetic vortex is a basic state of magnetization that forms in magnetic micro- and nanostructures of an appropriate shape, dimensions and material. Quantities of the magnetic vortex form randomly if ambient conditions are chosen eligibly. A concept of a true random number generator using a random switching of states of the magnetic vortex is presented in this thesis. This concept is realized and random numbers were experimentally generated and numbers were statistically analysed.

The work in this PhD thesis covers two strands of x-ray experiments: firstly, the characterisation of large arrays of dense structures by means of x-ray scattering, and, secondly, the investigation of hybrid anisotropy square structures with x-ray microscopy. The ability to accurately characterise large arrays of nanoscale magnetic structures is a key requirement for both scientific understanding and technological advance such as bit patterned recording media (BPM). In this work small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) was investigated as a characterisation technique for large arrays of patterned structures. Dense arrays of magnetic nanostructures were prepared on x-ray transparent membranes and measured. The SAXS data was then modelled to obtain structure parameters such as the mean structure diameter, the diameter distribution and the mean position variance with statistical significance. Arrays (500 x 500 μm2) of nominally uniform nanostructures with centre-to-centre distances between 250 nm-50 nm were structurally characterised and compared to structure diameters obtained by optical scanning electron microscopy measurements. The mean structure diameter was found to be between 39 nm-15nm and agree within the errors with the diameter obtained from SEM measurements. This work provides accurate data on the distribution (variance) of nanostructure sizes which is key for modelling these arrays for applicationin BPM. In the second part of the work, the static and dynamic properties of patterned hybrid anisotropy square structures ([Co/Pd]-Py) were investigated by using time-resolved scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM). In these patterned structures the magnetisation in the layers change both in magnitude and direction and gives rise to interesting new domain configurations. The reciprocal interaction between magnetic vortices in the Py layer and locally circular stripe domains in the Co/Pd was investigated and a mutual domain imprint between the layer was observed. In dynamic excitation experiments the precession of the vortex core is studied and showed good agreement with micromagnetic simulations made by Hrkac and Bryan. As demonstrated patterned hybrid anisotropy square structures have promising magnetic properties with potential applications in data storage (vortex switching) or spintronics (vortex oscillators).

Full textAbstract:
Les nano-oscillateurs à vortex sont des systèmes spintroniques dans lequel des courants électriques entrainent la giration par couple de transfert de spin d’une structure magnétique que l’on appelle vortex. Il s’agit d’un type de nano-oscillateur à transfert de spin permettant des applications dans les communications radiofréquences, la génération de champ magnétique et le calcul neuro-inspiré. Une propriété spécifique des systèmes à base de vortex est le renversement de la polarité du cœur de vortex, qui peut mener à des effets non-linéaires tels que le chaos. Comprendre comment de tels états sont influencés par des signaux extérieurs est important à la fois d’un point de vue fondamental et pour des applications technologiques.Dans cette thèse, j’ai examiné expérimentalement et théoriquement comment la dynamique des oscillateurs à vortex dans une géométrie à nanocontact répond à un signal externe. Les échantillons étudiés ont été fabriqué en utilisant une méthode de nano-indentation sur différents empilements, tels qu’une pseudo-vanne de spin à base de permalloy ou d’alliage de Heusler. Par des analyses fréquentielles et temporelles, j’ai montré que des effets de modulation non-triviaux se produisent selon le régime d’oscillation, tels que de la synchronisation fractionnaire, la modulation du renversement de cœur et des transitions entre régimes. Les échantillons à base d’alliage de Heusler font preuve de phénomènes supplémentaires tels que des battements entre modes résultant en un spectre plus complexe. À travers des simulations micromagnétiques, j’ai démontré qu’un paramètre clé est comment l’orbite du vortex change sous la modulation, et qui détermine si le verrouillage de phase est possible. Des effets d’hystéresis dus à un changement de la structure de l’échantillon sont aussi démontrés. Ces résultats suggèrent de nouvelles manières d’utiliser les oscillateurs à vortex pour le traitement du signal et de l’informationVortex nano-oscillators are spintronic devices in which electric currents drive the steady state gyration of magnetic states called vortices with spin-transfer torques. They represent a class of spin-torque nano-oscillators, which have potential applications in rf communications, field generation, and neuro-inspired computing. A specific feature of vortex-based systems is the reversal of the vortex core polarity, which can lead to nonlinear effects such as self-modulated states and chaotic dynamics. Understanding how such states are influenced by external signals is important for both fundamental studies and technological applications.In this thesis, I examined experimentally and theoretically how the dynamics of vortex oscillators in the nanocontact geometry respond to external current modulation. The samples studied were fabricated using a nano-indentation method on a variety of material stacks, such as pseudo spin valves based on transition metal and Heusler alloys. Through time- and frequency-domain analysis, I show that nontrivial modulation effects can appear depending on the oscillation regime, where processes such as fractional synchronization, modulation of the core reversal processes, and transitions between regimes are observed. Heusler-based devices exhibit additional phenomena like mode hopping and possibly coupled vortex dynamics, which results in more complex spectra. Through micromagnetics simulations, I demonstrate that a key parameter is how the vortex orbits change under modulation, which determines whether phase locking is possible. Hysteretic effects due to changes in the domain structure of the device are also brought to light. These results suggest new ways to utilize vortex oscillators for information processing

Dans cette thèse nous étudions théoriquement et numériquement les solitons magnétiques et leurs transitions topologiques. Dans une première partie, nous trouvons une solution en 3 dimensions appelée Point de Bloch qui vient de la minimisation de l'énergie d'échange, de l'énergie de Landau et de l'énergie dipolaire. Les oscillations autour du point de Bloch sont trouvées et quantifiées pour étudier le rôle des fluctuations quantiques dans sa stabilité.Dans une deuxième partie, nous regardons l'évolution d'un système ferromagnétique avec des textures de topologie non-triviale, couplé à des électrons itinérants qui interagissent avec la texture au moyen de leurs spins. Ce système physique est modelé avec l'équation de Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert couplée à l'équation de Schrödinger des électrons quantiques. Des transitions topologiques sont observées et mises dans un cadre général. De la grande quantité des transitions topologiques observées, nous distinguons les différents rôles que jouent les électrons selon le régime et l'ensemble de paramètres. Les ordres de grandeur temporels et spatiales des transitions topologiques montrent l'importance des effets quantiques ainsi que des effets de discrétisation du problèmeIn this thesis we study the magnetic solitons and its topological transitions, both theoretically and numerically. In the first part, we find a particular configuration of what is denominated the Bloch Point, a three-dimensional solution of the Free Energy minimization with exchange, Landau and dipolar terms. Oscillations around the Bloch point are found and quantized in order to understand the role of quantum fluctuations over its stability.In the second part, we look at the evolution of a system coupling ferromagnetic textures with nontrivial topology, with itinerant electrons. The interaction between the magnetic texture and the electrons is understood by means of spin-torque phenomena. This physical system is modeled with the equation Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation coupled with Schrödinger equation for quantum electrons. Topological transitions are observed and understood in a general framework that unifies older works done in a more classical context. Among the large amount of topological transitions observed, we can distinguish the different roles played by electrons depending on parameters. The orders of magnitude of time and space in the topological transition events show the importance of quantum effects as well as the fundamental role of discretization

Local studies of magnetic flux line (vortex) distribution in superconducting thin films and
their pinning by natural and artificial defects have been performed using low-temperature
magnetic force microscopy (LT-MFM).
Taken a 100 nm thin NbN film as an example, the depinning of vortices from natural
defects under the influence of the force that the MFM tip exerts on the individual vortex was
visualized and the local pinning force was estimated. The good agreement of these results with
global transport measurements demonstrates that MFM is a powerful and reliable method to
probe the local variation of the pinning landscape. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the
presence of an ordered array of 1-μm-sized ferromagnetic permalloy dots being in a magneticvortex
state underneath the Nb film significantly influences the natural pinning landscape of
the superconductor leading to commensurate pinning effects. This strong pinning exceeds the
repulsive interaction between the superconducting vortices and allows vortex clusters to be
located at each dot. Additionally, for industrially applicable YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta} thin films the main
question discussed was the possibility of a direct correlation between vortices and artificial
defects as well as vortex imaging on rough as-prepared thin films. Since the surface roughness
(droplets, precipitates) causes a severe problem to the scanning MFM tip, a nanoscale wedge
polishing technique that allows to overcome this problem was developed. Mounting the sample
under a defined small angle results in a smooth surface and a monotonic thickness reduction
of the film along the length of the sample. It provides a continuous insight from the film
surface down to the substrate with surface sensitive scanning techniques.

Depuis 2004, les composants radiofréquence (RF) suscitent un intérêt croissant au sein de la communauté spintronique, tant du point de vue de la physique fondamentale que des applications potentielles. Ces composants ont émergé suite à la découverte du couple de transfert de spin (STT) qui permet d'exciter l'aimantation grâce à un courant électrique. Dans ce contexte, j'ai étudié des oscillateurs à vortex basés sur des jonctions tunnel magnétiques à très faible résistance dans lesquelles un vortex magnétique suit un mouvement périodique dû au STT.On observe des oscillations de ce vortex lorsque la jonction est polarisée par un large courant dc sous un faible champ planaire. En effet, le courant produit à la fois un fort champ d'Ampère, qui contribue à la nucléation du vortex, et génère le STT qui met le vortex en mouvement. Grâce à l'oscillation du vortex, ces composants émettent un signal RF d'une forte puissance (jusqu'à 20nW) avec une fréquence naturelle d'environ 450MHz.J'ai étudié la synchronisation de ces oscillateurs en injectant, en plus courant continu, une excitation RF. Lorsque ce signal d'excitation est suffisamment puissant, l'oscillateur se verrouille sur la source externe. On observe une diminution du bruit autour du pic fondamental et une augmentation de l'amplitude de celui-ci. J'explique ces observations en modélisant le système en tant qu'oscillateur paramétrique. Cette modélisation permet de décrire certains phénomènes observés expérimentalement, comme le fait qu'il est plus facile d'atteindre le régime d'instabilité dynamique quand la fréquence de l'excitation est égale à deux fois la fréquence naturelle de l'oscillateur.Ensuite, j'ai réalisé une expérience de modulation de fréquence (FM), en excitant l'échantillon avec une onde RF à basse fréquence. L'expérience consiste à mesurer la densité spectral de puissance du signal tout en balayant la fréquence de l'onde de modulation et ceci à différente puissance. Il apparait alors que la description usuelle de la FM ne puisse plus être utilisée dans notre cas, car la fréquence de modulation est trop grande par rapport à la fréquence naturelle. Cela est dû au fait que le vortex met un certain temps à répondre à une excitation. Pour expliquer mes mesures, j'ai donc dû introduire le concept de sensibilité à la déviation, qui correspond à la dépendance de la fréquence de l'oscillateur avec le courant quand celui-ci varie périodiquementSince 2004, research on radiofrequency (RF) spintronic devices has been very active, both from a fundamental point of view as well as for their potential applications as RF oscillators or spin-diodes. These devices are based on spin transfer torque (STT). In this context, I studied vortex oscillators based on ultra-low resistance magnetic tunnel junctions in which vortex dynamics is driven into a periodic motion by STT. The vortex oscillations are observed when the junction is subjected to a large dc bias current and a low in-plane field. The dc current produces both a large Oersted field which contributes to the vortex nucleation and a STT that starts the vortex oscillation. This oscillation leads to a large output power up to 20nW with a fundamental frequency around 450MHz and many harmonics.Synchronization with an external signal was then tested by adding a RF current to the dc bias current. With a large enough input power, the oscillator locks on the external source: the noise is then drastically reduced and the spectral purity of the signal significantly increases. These observations are explained by describing the system as a parametric oscillator. This model predicts, as experimentally observed, that, for a small amplitude of the RF excitation, a dynamical instability can be more easily reached when its frequency is twice the natural frequency of the oscillator than for any other frequencies.Then, I performed frequency modulation measurements by exciting the dc-biased sample with a low frequency ac-current. The power spectral density was measured as I swept the modulation frequency for various modulation powers. It appears that the description previously used to describe modulation experiments does not apply when the modulation frequency is a significant fraction of the natural frequency. The vortex response time appears to play a significant role, so that the concept of deviation sensitivity has to be introduced to explain the observations: it corresponds to the dynamical dependence of the oscillator frequency with an applied current that varies with time

Les nano-Oscillateurs à transfert de spin (STNOs) sont des dispositifs capables d'émettre une onde hyperfréquence lorsqu'ils sont pompés par un courant polarisé grâce au couple de transfert de spin. Bien qu'ils offrent de nombreux avantages (agilité spectrale, intégrabilité, etc.) pour les applications, leur puissance d'émission et leur pureté spectrale sont en général faibles. Une stratégie pour améliorer ces propriétés est de synchroniser plusieurs oscillateurs entre eux. Une première étape est de comprendre la synchronisation d'un STNO unique à une source externe. Pour cela, nous avons étudié une vanne de spin Cu60|NiFe15|Cu10|NiFe4| Au25 (épaisseurs en nm) de section circulaire de 200 nm. Dans l'état saturé perpendiculaire (champ appliqué > 0.8 T), nous avons déterminé la nature du mode qui auto-Oscille et son couplage à une source externe grâce à un microscope de force par résonance magnétique (MRFM). Seul un champ micro-Onde uniforme permet de synchroniser le mode oscillant de la couche fine car il possède la bonne symétrie spatiale, au contraire du courant micro-Onde traversant l'échantillon. Ce même échantillon a ensuite été étudié sous faible champ perpendiculaire, les deux couches magnétiques étant alors dans l'état vortex. Dans ce cas, il est possible d'exciter un mode de grande cohérence (F/ ∆F >15000) avec une largeur de raie inférieure à 100 kHz. En analysant le contenu harmonique du spectre, nous avons déterminé que le couplage non-Linéaire amplitude-Phase du mode excité est quasi nul, ce qui explique la grande pureté spectrale observée, et qu'en parallèle, la fréquence d'oscillation reste ajustable sur une grande gamme grâce au champ d'Oersted créé par le courant injecté. De plus, la synchronisation de ce mode à une source de champ micro-Onde est très robuste, la largeur de raie mesurée diminuant de plus de cinq ordres de grandeur par rapport au régime autonome. Nous concluons de cette étude que le couplage magnéto-Dipolaire entre STNOs à base de vortex est très prometteur pour obtenir une synchronisation mutuelle, le champ dipolaire rayonné par un STNO sur ses voisins jouant alors le rôle de la source micro-Onde. Nous sommes donc passés à l'étape suivante, à savoir la mesure expérimentale de deux STNOs similaires séparés latéralement de 100 nm. En jouant sur les différentes configurations de polarités des vortex, nous avons réussi à observer la synchronisation mutuelle de ces deux oscillateursSpin transfer nano-Oscillators (STNOs) are nanoscale devices capable of generating high frequency microwave signals through spin momentum transfer. Although they offer decisive advantages compared to existing technology (spectral agility, integrability, etc.), their emitted power and spectral purity are quite poor. In view of their applications, a promising strategy to improve the coherence and increase the emitted microwave power of these devices is to mutually synchronize several of them. A first step is to understand the synchronization of a single STNO to an external source. For this, we have studied a circular nanopillar of diameter 200~nm patterned from a Cu60|Py15|Cu10|Py4|Au25 stack, where thicknesses are in nm. In the saturated state (bias magnetic field > 0.8 T), we have identified the auto-Oscillating mode and its coupling to an external source by using a magnetic resonance force microscope (MRFM). Only the uniform microwave field applied perpendicularly to the bias field is efficient to synchronize the STNO because it shares the spatial symmetry of the auto-Oscillation mode, in contrast to the microwave current passing through the device. The same sample was then studied under low perpendicular magnetic field, with the two magnetic layers in the vortex state. In this case, it is possible to excite a highly coherent mode (F/∆F>15000) with a linewidth below 100 kHz. By analyzing the harmonic content of the spectrum, we have determined that the non-Linear amplitude-Phase coupling of the excited mode is almost vanishing, which explains the high spectral purity observed. Moreover, the oscillation frequency can still be widely tuned thanks to the Oersted field created by the dc current. We have also shown that the synchronization of this mode to a microwave field source is very robust, the generation linewidth decreasing by more than five orders of magnitude compared to the autonomous regime. From these findings we conclude that the magneto-Dipolar interaction is promising to achieve mutual coupling of vortex based STNOs, the dipolar field from a neighboring oscillator playing the role of the microwave source. We have thus experimentally measured a system composed of two STNOs laterally separated by 100 nm. By varying the different configurations of vortex polarities, we have observed the mutual synchronization of these two oscillators
