Magnetic properties of self-assembled FeRh nanomagnets
Motyčková, Lucie ; Fruchart, Olivier (oponent) ; Arregi Uribeetxebarria, Jon Ander (vedoucí práce)
Magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructured materials are of great promise in many domains, including biomedicine, environmental remediation, or energy harvesting. Therefore, there is an ever-growing interest in their unique nanoscale functionalities as well as in the development of viable fabrication routes. This thesis investigates a self-assembly route, specifically solid-state dewetting of thin films, to produce epitaxial nanoisland arrays of the FeRh alloy on different single-crystal substrates. It is shown that using this fabrication route, the metamagnetic phase transition is preserved in nanoscale confined geometries. The morphology and magnetic properties of the self-assembled FeRh nanomagnets are characterized by a combination of experimental techniques and modeling, finding that their equilibrium shapes and magnetic order are closely interconnected. Furthermore, a route for obtaining free-standing nanoparticles is devised, which could potentially allow using metamagnetic nano-objects in cell cultures and biomedicine in general. To do so, the supported FeRh nanomagnets are released from the substrate via chemical wet etching. The behavior of the nanoparticles and their response to temperature cycling and magnetic field is subsequently studied in a liquid environment. The metamagnetic properties of separated nanoparticles are characterized using vibrating sample magnetometry.
Epitaxial growth and characterization of metamagnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
Motyčková, Lucie ; Gröger,, Roman (oponent) ; Arregi Uribeetxebarria, Jon Ander (vedoucí práce)
Magnetic nanoparticles represent a promising platform for a vast number of biomedical applications in continuously developing domains of diagnostics and therapeutics. Novel magnetic nanoscale technologies based on metamagnetic materials may provide significant benefits, for instance, in terms of easily controllable actions on biological species in the human body. This thesis investigates the growth mechanisms and magnetic properties of supported nanoparticles made of the iron-rhodium (FeRh) alloy on the MgO substrate. The FeRh compound was chosen for its specific transition from the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase occurring slightly above room temperature, thus allowing the control of magnetic properties of nanoparticles in the temperature range close to the human body. The presented nanostructures have been fabricated via magnetron sputtering using the bottom up preparation approach. The morphology and magnetic behavior of such deposited nanostructures have been investigated via atomic and magnetic force microscopy, which provide spatially resolved antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic domain structure in the individual nanoislands.
