Validation of a generalized model for the description of polycrystalline exchange-biased magnetic thin films
(2022)
Applications based on nano- and microscaled systems have become indispensable in many aspects in everyday life, industry, research and medicine. In this regard, thin film technology plays a crucial role with the physical properties of solids changing significantly when they are reduced to thin layers with thicknesses in the nanometer range. In this regime, a solid’s microstructure as well as boundary and surface effects start to dominate. A prominent example is the exchange bias effect, which results due to the ...

Towards the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in chiral systems using free-electron lasers
(2024)
Chiral molecules are life’s building blocks, making the study of their ultrafast processes a pursuit across various fundamental research fields. The results presented in this dissertation contain methodological, technical and scientific advancements that pave the way for future time-resolved, site-specific investigations into chiral photochemistry of randomly orientated molecules, using photoelectron circular dichroism and free-electron lasers. The high-repetitionrate free-electron lasers EuXFEL and FLASH2 will soon ...

Asymmetric magnetization reversal processes in exchange-biased microstructures
(2023)
Over the last decades, the exchange bias (EB) effect has captured the attention of the research community striving for high-density logic memory devices and sensitive sensor technologies based on bi-, multilayered, or patterned magnetic thin film systems. Macroscopically, the EB manifests in a horizontal shift of the ferromagnetic remagnetization loop and an enhancement of the coercivity, both connected to the induced unidirectional anisotropy (UDA) at the exchange-coupled ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface. ...

Visualizing the electronic structure of small molecules with rovibronic photon emission spectroscopy
(2018)
A key in understanding the fundamental structure of atoms and molecules has been their absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation across all spectral ranges. The observation of discrete line spectra contributed to the development of core concepts in quantum mechanics and thus the modern picture of physical processes occurring at small scales. The ongoing refinement of both experimental and theoretical methods in spectroscopy allows to deal with succeedingly more complex systems in different interactions to ...

Preferential weakening of rotational magnetic anisotropy by keV-He ion bombardment in polycrystalline exchange bias layer systems
(2018-05-04)
The consequences of keV light-ion bombardment of polycrystalline exchange bias layer systems on individual magnetic anisotropies composing the effective unidirectional magnetic anisotropy are investigated by vectorial magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements. Preferential reduction of rotatable magnetic anisotropy as compared to the other magnetic anisotropies is observable, disproving the intuitive assumption of an equable weakening of all magnetic anisotropies due to the bombardment. It is concluded that light-ion ...

Analysis of near-substrate magnetic particle transport for Lab-on-a-chip applications: stray field modulations, influence of particle properties and three-dimensional trajectories
(2022)
Die Entwicklung schneller und zuverlässiger Diagnostik ist ein wichtiges Ziel für die Früherkennung von Krankheiten. Standardisierte Labormethoden sind heutzutage meist langsam und mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Innerhalb der Lab-on-a-chip (LOC)-Technologie kann der Nachweis eines pathogenen Organismus auf die Größe eines kleinen Chips miniaturisiert werden, indem magnetische Partikel als Fängerobjekte integriert werden. Die Kombination einer statischen Magnetfeldlandschaft (MFL) mit zeitlich variierenden externen ...
Dissertation
Magnetic Textures and Magnetization Reversal Processes in Arrays of Ferromagnetic and Exchange-Biased Hollow Hemispheres
(2022)
The main objective of this thesis is to investigate hemispherical caps prepared by thin film deposition of magnetic material compositions on top of nano- and micrometer sized silica spheres. When compared to flat magnetic discs, these microcaps differ in their magnetic properties due to the curved and therefore three-dimensional shape. However, under certain conditions, both microstructures have previously been proven to express the famous magnetic vortex texture because of the confinement into a circular shape. ...

Bestimmung der mittleren Clustergröße und ortsspezifischen Zustände homogener Edelgascluster mittels Fluoreszenzspektroskopie
(2021)
Der Übergang von mikroskopischen zu makroskopischen Systemen ist in den Naturwissenschaften von grundlegendem Interesse, da im zugehörigen Übergangsbereich größenabhängige Entwicklungen physikalischer Eigenschaften sowie auch gänzlich neue Prozesse auftreten. Edelgascluster ermöglichen einen experimentellen Zugang zur Untersuchung dieses Zwischenbereichs.
Die durch Van-der-Waals-Kräfte gebundenen inerten Edelgasatome fungieren als Prototypsysteme zur Untersuchung derartiger fundamentaler Prozesse. Sie werden mittels ...

Abhängigkeit des Exchange-Bias Feldes und des Koerzitivfeldes von der mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie gemessenen Kornvolumenverteilung des Antiferromagneten in Exchange-Bias Schichtsystemen
(2019-10-02)
Der Exchange-Bias Effekt wird in vielen technischen Anwendungen, wie z.B. in magnetischen Speichermedien oder in Magnetsensorköpfen zum Pinnen der Magnetisierungsrichtung der Referenzelektrode, eingesetzt. Dieser Effekt tritt ausschließlich in dünnen Schichtsystemen, in denen sich ein dünner Ferromagnet mit einem dünnen Antiferromagneten in Kontakt befindet, auf und bewirkt eine Verschiebung der Hysteresekurve entlang der Magnetfeldachse. Solche Exchange-Bias Schichtsysteme können mittels Ionenbeschuss, d.h., leichte ...
