Magnetic force microscopy and transport properties of metamagnetic nanostructures
Jaskowiec, Jiří ; Vaňatka, Marek (referee) ; Uhlíř, Vojtěch (advisor)
Iron-rhodium (FeRh) is a material featuring a first-order phase transition between antiferomagnetic (AF) and feromagnetic (FM) phases. The phase transition is symmetric with respect to the direction of transition in bulk FeRh and FeRh thin films. The bachelor thesis focuses on the properties of mesostructures of sub-micron size, where asymmetry between the AF-FM and FM-AF transitions has been recently discovered using electrical transport measurements dependent on temperature. The phase domain structure of FeRh mesostructures during the phase transition is visualized by magnetic force microscopy (MFM) in an out-of-plane magnetic field. Quantitative analysis of the measured magnetic signal reveals the effect of structure size on supercooling of the FM phase and abrupt increase of the AF phase during the FM-AF transition.
Magnetic phase transition in spatially confined structures
Schánilec, Vojtěch ; Urbánek, Michal (referee) ; Uhlíř, Vojtěch (advisor)
FeRh thin films feature unique characteristics due to the first-order phase transition from the antiferromagnetic order to the ferromagnetic order. The phase transition in FeRh can be driven by external parameters such as temperature and magnetic field. At zero magnetic field, the transition occurs approximately at 360 K, which is convenient for applications. The thesis focuses on the phase transition in spatially confined FeRh structures. The theoretical part contains literature review on the FeRh phase transition and the possibilities to control it using different substrates and spatial confinement, which has significant impact on the symmetry of the transition upon cooling and heating. The experimental part describes the design and realization of a heater module compatible with a Magnetic Force Microscope (MFM). MFM was used to image the nucleation states and ferromagnetic domain grwoth in FeRh structures.
