Substrátem kontrolované fyzikální vlastnosti tenkých vrstev magnetických oxidů pro spintronické aplikace
Maleček, Tomáš ; Veis, Martin (advisor) ; Václavková, Diana (referee)
As conventional electronics approaches its fundamental limits, new paradigms are re- quired. Integration of new spintronic materials with current silicon technology shows great promise. This thesis demonstrates the possibility of growing textured stress-free La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films on silicon with properties comparable to epitaxi- ally grown layers on SrTiO3 (STO). Growth of LSMO is achieved by a two-dimensional nanosheet (NS) seed layer of Ca2Nb3O10 inducing epitaxial stabilization of LSMO films. Samples of LSMO on NS/Si, prepared by pulsed laser deposition, have been shown to have lower magnetization than samples of LSMO on STO yet also possess a higher Curie temperature by more than 10 K. Spectral dependence of the full permittivity tensor was calculated from optical and magneto-optical measurements. Spectra of the off-diagonal element have been fitted with three diamagnetic transitions located around 1.9, 2.9 and 3.5 eV for samples on NS/Si as well as for samples on STO. Similarities between the samples open the possibility of integration of LSMO into silicon technology using NS. Temperature-dependent optical and magneto-optical properties of a sample of LSMO on STO have been evaluated.

Vliv pnutí na magnetooptické vlasnosti La2/3Sr1/3MnO3

The influence of epitaxial strain on La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films has been studied by magneto-optical spectroscopy. The investigated samples have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on four different substrates with varying degree of compressive and tensile strain. The spectra of the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) have been measured. Deterioration of magnetic properties with increasing epitaxial strain has been observed. The off-diagonal elements of the permittivity tensor, numerically calculated from the MOKE and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements, confirmed two already reported electronic transitions. A third transition at around 4.3 eV has been observed on samples grown under compressive strain. The dependence of the Kerr rotation spectra on temperature has been measured for all four samples. The Curie temperatures have been estimated for all samples with the exception of LSMO grown on LaAlO3 which undergoes a spin reorientation transition at 200 K. The low temperature measurements on the compressively strained samples showed amplification of the third transition supporting the claim of it being paramagnetic. Also observed was a change in the spectra of the Kerr rotation of the sample grown on SrTiO3 which undergoes a structural transition at 105 K, and, therefore, changes the epitaxial strain.
