Studies of the fragmentation of jets into charged particles in heavy-ion collisions can help in understanding the mechanism of jet quenching by the hot and dense QCD matter created in such collisions, the quark-gluon plasma. These proceedings present a measurement of the angular distribution of charged particles around the jet axis in root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb and pp collisions, done using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed inside jets reconstructed with the anti-k(t) algorithm with radius parameter R = 0.4, and is extended to regions outside the jet cone. Results are presented as a function of Pb+Pb collision centrality, and both jet and charged-particle transverse momenta.
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Struktur und die Veränderung des akademischen Selbstkonzepts angehender Physiklehrkräfte. Als selbstbezogene Kognition wird es als eine Grundlage der professionellen Identität von Lehrkräften verstanden. Selbstkonzepte bilden sich aus der Kategorisierung selbstrelevanter Informationen, die eine Person in verschiedenen Kontexten sammelt, bewertet und interpretiert. Für angehende Lehrkräfte wird der professionelle Kontext durch die Struktur und die Inhalte des Lehramtsstudiums gebildet. Daraus folgt die erste zentrale Hypothese der Arbeit: Im akademischen Selbstkonzept angehender Physiklehrkräfte lassen sich drei Facetten empirisch trennen, die den inhaltlichen Domänen des Lehramtsstudiums entsprechen. Demnach strukturieren Studierende ihre Fähigkeitszuschreibungen in Bezug auf (1) die Fachwissenschaft Physik, (2) die Fachdidaktik Physik sowie (3) die Erziehungswissenschaften.
Konkrete Erfahrungen bilden als Quelle selbstrelevanter Informationen die Basis für den Aufbau bzw. die Veränderung von domänenspezifischen Selbstkonzeptfacetten. Sie stabilisieren das Selbstkonzept, falls sie im Einklang mit dem bisherigen Bild der Person von sich selbst stehen bzw. können eine Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts initiieren, wenn sie sich nicht konsistent in dieses Bild einfügen lassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund folgt die zweite zentrale Hypothese der vorliegenden Arbeit: Während der Praxisphasen des Studiums verändert sich das akademische Selbstkonzept der Studierenden.
Die Hypothesen werden mit Ansätzen der latenten Modellierung untersucht. Mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalyse wird die empirische Trennbarkeit der drei angenommenen Facetten bestätigt. In einer querschnittlichen Betrachtung zeigt sich ein deutlicher Einfluss des Geschlechts der Studierenden auf den Zusammenhang zwischen ihrem fachdidaktischen Selbstkonzept und ihrer bisherigen Praxiserfahrung. Die längsschnittliche Analyse der Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts während einer zentralen fachdidaktischen Lehrveranstaltung mit ausgeprägten Praxisphasen (Lehr-Lern-Labor-Seminar) wird mit einem latenten Wachstumskurvenmodell untersucht. Das auf die Fachdidaktik Physik bezogene Selbstkonzept steigt während des Seminars leicht an, wenn die Studierenden zum Seminarbeginn bereits über Praxiserfahrung verfügten. Fehlt diese, so ist ein leichter Rückgang in der Ausprägung des Selbstkonzepts feststellbar, der für weibliche Studierende stärker ausfällt als für ihre männlichen Kommilitonen.
Mit den Befunden zu Struktur und Veränderung des akademischen Selbstkonzepts angehender Physiklehrkräfte trägt die vorliegende Arbeit dazu bei, die überwiegend qualitativen Analysen von Identitätsprozessen bei Studierenden durch den Einsatz eines theoretisch fundierten und klar umrissenen Konstrukts um eine quantitative Perspektive zu ergänzen.
Lattice dynamics and spin-phonon coupling in the multiferroic oxides Eu(1-x)Ho(x)MnO3 and ACrO2
(2019)
The focus of this thesis is the investigation of the lattice dynamics and the coupling of magnetism and phonons in two different multiferroic model systems. The first system, which constitutes the main part in this work is the system of multiferroic manganites RMnO$_{3}$, in particular Eu$_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ with $0 \le x \le 0.5$. Its cycloidal spin arrangement leads to the emergence of the ferroelectric polarization via the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. This system is special among RMnO$_{3}$ as with increasing Ho content $x$, Eu$_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ does not only become multiferroic, but due to the exchange interaction with the magnetic Ho-ion, the spin cycloid (and with it the electric polarization) is also flipped for higher Ho contents. This makes it one of the first compounds, where the cycloidal reorientation happens spontaneously, rather than with the application of external fields.
On the other hand, there is the delafossite ACrO$_{2}$ system. Here, due to symmetry reasons, the spin-spiral pattern can not induce the polarization according to the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction mechanism. Instead, it is thought that another way of magnetoelectric coupling is involved, which affects the charge distribution in the $d-p$ hybridized orbitals of the bonds.
The lattice vibrations as well as the quasi-particle of the multiferroic phase, the electromagnon, are studied by Raman spectroscopy. Lattice vibrations like the B$_{3g}$(1) mode, which involves vibrations of the Mn-O-Mn bonds modulate the exchange interaction and serve as a powerful tool for the investigation of magnetic correlations effects with high frequency accuracy. Raman spectroscopy acts as a local probe as even local magnetic correlations directly affect the phonon vibration frequency, revealing coupling effects onto the lattice dynamics even in the absence of global magnetic order. By varying the temperature, the coupling is investigated and unveils a renormalization of the phonon frequency as the magnetic order develops. For Eu$_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$, the analysis of this spin-induced phonon frequency renormalization enables the quantitative determination of the in-plane spin-phonon coupling strengths. This formalism, introduced by Granado et al., is extended here to evaluate the out-of-plane coupling strengths, which is enabled by the identification of a previously elusive feature as a vibrational mode. The complete picture is obtained by studying the lattice- and electromagnon dynamics in the magnetic field.
Further emphasis is put towards the development of the cycloidal spin structure and correlations with temperature. A new model of describing the temperature-dependent behavior of said spin correlations is proposed and can consistently explain ordering phenomena which were until now unaddressed. The results are underscored with Monte Carlo based simulations of the spin dynamics with varying temperature.
Furthermore, a novel effect of a tentative violation of the Raman selection rules in Eu$_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ was discovered. While the phonon modes can be separated and identified by their symmetry by choosing appropriate polarization configurations, in a very narrow temperature range, Eu$_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ shows an increase of phonon intensities in polarization configurations where they should be forbidden. This is interpreted as a sign of local disorder, caused by 90° domain walls and could be explained within the model framework.
This course of action is followed with the material system of delafossites ACrO$_{2}$. Being a relatively new class of multiferroic materials, the investigations on ACrO$_{2}$ are also of characterizing nature. For this, shell model calculations are performed as a reference to compare the vibrational frequencies obtained by the Raman experiments to. A renormalization of the vibrational frequencies is observed in this system as well and systematically analyzed across the sample series of \textit{A}=Cu, Pd and Ag. Eventually, the effect of applying an external magnetic field is studied. A particularly interesting feature specific for CuCrO$_{2}$ is a satellite peak which appears at lower temperatures. It is presumably related to a deformation of the lattice and therefore going to be discussed in further detail.
Due to their complex chemical structure transition metal oxides display many fascinating properties which conventional semiconductors lack.
For this reason transition metal oxides hold a lot of promise for novel electronic functionalities.
Just as in conventional semiconductor heterostructures, the interfaces between different materials play a key role in oxide electronics.
The textbook example is the (001) interface between the band insulators LaAlO\(_3\) and SrTiO\(_3\) at which a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) forms.
In order to utilize such a 2DES in prospective electronic devices, it is vital that the electronic properties of the interface can be controlled and manipulated at will.
Employing photoelectron spectroscopy as well as electronic transport measurements, this thesis examines how such interface engineering can be realized in the case of the LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) heterostructure:
By photoemission we manage to unambiguously distinguish the different mechanisms by which SrTiO\(_3\) can be doped with electrons.
An electronic reconstruction is identified as the driving mechanism to render stoichiometric LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) interfaces metallic.
The doping of the LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) heterointerface can furthermore be finely adjusted by changing the oxygen vacancy \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration in the heterostructure.
Combining intense x-ray irradiation with oxygen dosing, we even achieve control over the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration and, consequently, the doping in the photoemission experiment itself.
Exploiting this method, we investigate how the band diagram of SrTiO\(_3\)-based heterostructures changes as a function of the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration and temperature by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy.
With the band bending in the SrTiO\(_3\) substrate changing as a function of the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration, the interfacial band alignment is found to vary as well.
The relative permittivity of the SrTiO\(_3\) substrate and, in particular, its dependence on temperature and electric field is identified as one of the essential parameters determining the electronic interface properties.
That is also why the sample temperature affects the charge carrier distribution.
The mobile charge carriers are shown to shift toward the SrTiO\(_3\) bulk when the sample temperature is lowered.
This effect is, however, only pronounced if the total charge carrier concentration is small.
At high charge carrier concentrations the charge carriers are always confined to the interface, independent of the sample temperature.
The dependence of the electronic interface properties on the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration is also investigated by a complementary method, viz. by electronic transport measurements.
These experiments confirm that the mobile charge carrier concentration increases concomitantly to the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration.
The mobility of the charge carriers changes as well depending on the \(V_{\mathrm{O}}\) concentration.
Comparing spectroscopy and transport results, we are able to draw conclusions about the processes limiting the mobility in electronic transport.
We furthermore build a memristor device from our LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) heterostructures and demonstrate how interface engineering is used in practice in such novel electronic applications.
This thesis furthermore investigates how the electronic structure of the 2DES is affected by the interface topology:
We show that, akin to the (001) LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) heterointerface, an electronic reconstruction also renders the (111) interface between LaAlO\(_3\) and SrTiO\(_3\) metallic.
The change in interface topology becomes evident in the Fermi surface of the buried 2DES which is probed by soft x-ray photoemission.
Based on the asymmetry in the Fermi surface, we estimate the extension of the conductive layer in the (111)-oriented LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) heterostructure.
The spectral function measured furthermore identifies the charge carriers at the interface as large polarons.
Metal nanostructures have been known for a long time to exhibit optical resonances via localized surface plasmons. The high electric fields in close proximity to the metal surface have prospects to dramatically change the dynamics of electronic transitions, such as an enhanced spontaneous decay rate of a single emitter. However, there have been two major issues which impede advances in the experimental realization of enhanced light-matter interaction. (i) The fabrication of high-quality resonant structures requires state-of-the-art patterning techniques in combination with superior materials. (ii) The tiny extension of the optical near-field requires precise control of the single emitter with respect to the nanostructure. This work demonstrates a solution to these problems by combining scanning probe and optical confocal microscopy. Here, a novel type of scanning probe is introduced which features a tip composed of the edge of a single crystalline gold sheet. The patterning via focused ion beam milling makes it possible to introduce a plasmonic nanoresonator directly at the apex of the tip. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the optical properties of this kind of scanning probe are ideal to analyze light-matter interaction. Detailed experimental studies investigate the coupling mechanism between a localized plasmon and single colloidal quantum dots by dynamically changing coupling strength via their spatial separation. The results have shown that weak interaction affects the shape of the fluorescence spectrum as well as the polarization. For the best probes it has been found that it is possible to reach the strong coupling regime at the single emitter level at room temperature. The resulting analysis of the experimental data and the proposed theoretical models has revealed the differences between the established far-field coupling and near-field coupling. It has been found that the broad bandwidth of plasmonic resonances are able to establish coherent coupling to multiple transitions simultaneously giving rise to an enhanced effective coupling strength. It has also been found that the current model to numerically calculate the effective mode volume is inaccurate in case of mesoscopic emitters and strong coupling. Finally, light-matter interaction is investigated by the means of a quantum-dot-decorated microtubule which is traversing a localized nearfield by gliding on kinesin proteins. This biological transport mechanism allows the parallel probing of a meta-surface with nm-precision. The results that have been put forward throughout this work have shed new light on the understanding of plasmonic light-matter interaction and might trigger ideas on how to more efficiently combine the power of localized electric fields and novel excitonic materials.
Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, neue quantitative Messmethoden am Kleintier, insbesondere die Perfusionsmessung am Mäuseherz, zu etablieren. Hierfür wurde eine retrospektiv getriggerte T1-Messmethode entwickelt. Da bei retrospektiven Methoden keine vollständige Abtastung garantiert werden kann, wurde ein Verfahren gefunden, das mit Hilfe von Vorwissen über das gemessene Modell sehr effizient die fehlenden Daten interpolieren kann.
Mit Hilfe dieser Technik werden dynamische T1-Messungen mit hoher räumlicher und zeitlicher Auflösung möglich.
Dank der hohen Genauigkeit der T1-Messmethode lässt sich diese für die nichtinvasive Perfusionsmessung am Mäuseherz mittels der FAIR-ASL-Technik nutzen. Da auf Grund der retrospektiven Triggerung Daten an allen Positionen im Herzzyklus akquiriert werden, konnten T1- und Perfusionskarten nach der Messung zu beliebigen Punkten im Herzzyklus rekonstruiert werden.
Es bietet sich an, Techniken, die für die myokardiale Perfusion angewandt werden, auch für die Nierenperfusionsmessung zu verwenden, da die Niere in ihrer Rinde (Cortex) eine ähnlich hohe
Perfusion aufweist wie das Myokard. Gleichzeitig führen Nierenerkrankungen oftmals zu schlechter Kontrastmittelverträglichkeit, da diese bei Niereninsuffizienz u.U. zu lange im Körper verweilen und die Niere weiter schädigen. Auch deshalb sind die kontrastmittelfreien Spin-Labeling-Methoden hier interessant. Die FAIR-ASL-Technik ist jedoch an Mäusen in koronaler Ansicht für die Niere schlecht geeignet auf Grund des geringen Unterschieds zwischen dem markierten und dem Vergleichsexperiment. Als Lösung für dieses Problem wurde vorgeschlagen, die Markierungsschicht senkrecht zur Messschicht zu orientieren. Hiermit konnte die Sensitivität gesteigert und gleichzeitig die Variabilität der Methode deutlich verringert werden.
Mit Hilfe von kontrastmittelgestützten Messungen konnten auch das regionale Blutvolumen und das Extrazellularvolumen bestimmt werden. In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an Extrazellularvolumenmessungen zugenommen, da das Extrazellularvolumen stellvertretend für diffuse Fibrose gemessen werden kann, die bis dahin nichtinvasiven Methoden nicht zugänglich war. Die bisher in der Literatur verwendeten Quantifizierungsmethoden missachten den Einfluss, den das Hämatokrit auf den ECV-Wert hat. Es wurde eine neue Korrektur vorgeschlagen, die allerdings zusätzlich zur ECV-Messung auch eine RBV-Messung benötigt. Durch gleichzeitige Messung beider Volumenanteile konnte auch erstmals das Extrazellulare-Extravaskuläre-Volumen bestimmt werden.
Eine gänzlich andere kontrastmittelbasierte Methode in der MRT ist die Messung des chemischen Austauschs. Hierbei wirkt das Kontrastmittel nicht direkt beschleunigend auf die Relaxation, sondern der Effekt des Kontrastmittels wird gezielt durch HF-Pulse an- und ausgeschaltet. Durch den chemischen Austausch kann die Auswirkung der HF-Pulse akkumuliert werden. Bislang wurde bei solchen Messungen ein negativer Kontrast erzeugt, der ohne zusätzliche Vergleichsmessungen schwer detektierbar war. Im letzten Teil dieser Arbeit konnte eine neue Methode zur Messung des chemischen Austauschs gezeigt werden, die entgegen der aus der Literatur bekannten Methoden nicht Sättigung, sondern Anregung überträgt. Diese Änderung erlaubt es, einen echten positiven chemischen Austausch-Kontrast zu erzeugen, der nicht zwingend ein Vergleichsbild benötigt. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die Technik, dadurch dass Anregung übertragen wird, die Phase der Anregung zu kontrollieren und nutzen. Eine mögliche Anwendung ist die Unterscheidung verschiedener Substanzen in einer Messung.
In der Summe wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit verschiedene robuste Methoden eta-
bliert, die die Möglichkeiten der quantitativen physiologischen MRT erweitern.
Surface systems attract great scientific attention due to novel and exotic properties. The atomically structured surfaces lead to a reduced dimensionality which alters electronic correlations, vibrational properties, and their impact on each other. The emerging physical phenomena are not observed for related bulk materials. In this thesis, ordered (sub)monolayers of metal atoms (Au and Sn) on semiconductor substrates (Si(111) and Ge(111)) and ultrathin intermetallic films (CePt5 and LaPt5) on metal substrate (Pt(111)) are investigated by polarized in situ surface Raman spectroscopy. The surface Raman spectra exhibit features of specific elementary excitations like surface phonons and electronic excitations, which are suitable to gain fundamental insights into the surface systems.
The Au-induced surface reconstructions (5x2) and (r3xr3) constitute quasi-one- and two-dimensional Au structures on the Si(111) substrate, respectively. The new reconstruction-related Raman peaks are analyzed with respect to their polarization and temperature behavior. The Raman results are combined with firstprinciples calculations to decide between different proposed structural models. The Au-(5x2)/Si(111) reconstruction is best described by the model of Kwon and Kang, while for Au-(r3xr3)/Si(111) the conjugate honeycomb-chained-trimer model is favored. The Sn-induced reconstructions with 1/3 monolayer on Ge(111) and Si(111) are investigated to reveal their extraordinary temperature behavior. Specific surface phonon modes are identified that are predicted within the dynamical fluctuation model. Contrary to Sn/Si(111), the corresponding vibrational mode of Sn/Ge(111) exhibits a nearly harmonic character. The reversible structural phase transition of Sn/Ge(111) from (r3xr3) to (3x3) is observed, while no phase transition is apparent for Sn/Si(111). Moreover, Raman spectra of the closely related systems Sn-(2r3x2r3)/Si(111) and thin films of a-Sn as well as the clean semiconductor surfaces Si(111)-(7x7) and Ge(111)-c(2x8) are evaluated and compared.
The CePt5/Pt(111) system hosts 4f electrons whose energy levels are modified by the crystal field and are relevant for a description of the observed Kondo physics. In contrast, isostructural LaPt5/Pt(111) has no 4f electrons. For CePt5/Pt(111), distinct Raman features due to electronic Raman scattering can be unambiguously related to transitions between the crystal-field states which are depth-dependent. This assignment is supported by comparison to LaPt5/Pt(111) and group theoretical considerations. Furthermore, the vibrational properties of CePt5 and LaPt5 reveal interesting similarities but also striking differences like an unusual temperature shift of a vibration mode of CePt5, which is related to the influence of 4f electrons.
Up to three polychlorinated pyridyldiphenylmethyl radicals bridged by a triphenylamine carrying electron withdrawing (CN), neutral (Me), or donating (OMe) groups were synthesized and analogous radicals bridged by tris(2,6‐dimethylphenyl)borane were prepared for comparison. All compounds were as stable as common closed‐shell organic compounds and showed significant fluorescence upon excitation. Electronic, magnetic, absorption, and emission properties were examined in detail, and experimental results were interpreted using DFT calculations. Oxidation potentials, absorption and emission energies could be tuned depending on the electron density of the bridges. The triphenylamine bridges mediated intramolecular weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the radical spins, and the energy difference between the high spin and low spin states was determined by temperature dependent ESR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The fluorescent properties of all radicals were examined in detail and revealed no difference for high and low spin states which facilitates application of these dyes in two‐photon absorption spectroscopy and OLED devices.
The measurement of the mass of the $W$ boson is currently one of the most promising precision analyses of the Standard Model, that could ultimately reveal a hint for new physics.
The mass of the $W$ boson is determined by comparing the $W$ boson, which cannot be reconstructed directly, to the $Z$ boson, where the full decay signature is available. With the help of Monte Carlo simulations one can extrapolate from the $Z$ boson to the $W$ boson.
Technically speaking, the measurement of the $W$ boson mass is performed by comparing data taken by the ATLAS experiment to a set of calibrated Monte Carlo simulations, which reflect different mass hypotheses.\
A dedicated calibration of the reconstructed objects in the simulations is crucial for a high precision of the measured value.
The comparison of simulated $Z$ boson events to reconstructed $Z$ boson candidates in data allows to derive event weights and scale factors for the calibration.
This thesis presents a new approach to reweight the hadronic recoil in the simulations. The focus of the calibration is on the average hadronic activity visible in the mean of the scalar sum of the hadronic recoil $\Sigma E_T$ as a function of pileup. In contrast to the standard method, which directly reweights the scalar sum, the dependency to the transverse boson momentum is less strongly affected here.
The $\Sigma E_T$ distribution is modeled first by means of its pileup dependency. Then, the remaining differences in the resolution of the vector sum of the hadronic recoil are scaled. This is done separately for the parallel and the pterpendicular component of the hadronic recoil with respect to the reconstructed boson.
This calibration was developed for the dataset taken by the ATLAS experiment at a center of mass energy of $8\,\textrm{TeV}$ in 2012. In addition, the same reweighting procedure is applied to the recent dataset with a low pileup contribution, the \textit{lowMu} runs at $5\,\textrm{TeV}$ and at $13\,\textrm{TeV}$, taken by ATLAS in November 2017. The dedicated aspects of the reweighting procedure are presented in this thesis. It can be shown that this reweighting approach improves the agreement between data and the simulations effectively for all datasets.
The uncertainties of this reweighting approach as well as the statistical errors are evaluated for a $W$ mass measurement by a template fit to pseudodata for the \textit{lowMu} dataset. A first estimate of these uncertainties is given here. For the pfoEM algorithm a statistical uncertainty of $17\,\text{MeV}$ for the $5\,\textrm{TeV}$ dataset and of $18\,\text{MeV}$ for the $13\,\textrm{TeV}$ are found for the $W \rightarrow \mu \nu$ analysis. The systematic uncertainty introduced by the resolution scaling has the largest effect, a value of $15\,\text{MeV}$ is estimated for the $13\,\textrm{TeV}$ dataset in the muon channel.
Dynamic light scattering is a popular technique to determine the size distribution of small particles in the sub micrometer region. It operates in reciprocal space, by analyzing the signal fluctuations with the photon auto correlation function. Equally, pulsed field gradient magnetic resonance is a technique generating data in the reciprocal space of the density distribution of an object. Here we show the feasibility of employing a magnetic resonance imaging system as a dynamic scattering device similar to dynamic light scattering appliances. By acquiring a time series of single data points from reciprocal space, analogue to dynamic light scattering, we demonstrate the examination of motion patterns of microscopic particles. This method allows the examination of particle dynamics significantly below the spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging. It is not limited by relaxation times and covers a wide field of applications for particle or cell motion in opaque media.
