Excitons in atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been established as an attractive platform to explore polaritonic physics, owing to their enormous binding energies and giant oscillator strength. Basic spectral features of exciton polaritons in TMD microcavities, thus far, were conventionally explained via two-coupled-oscillator models. This ignores, however, the impact of phonons on the polariton energy structure. Here we establish and quantify the threefold coupling between excitons, cavity photons, and phonons. For this purpose, we employ energy-momentum-resolved photoluminescence and spatially resolved coherent two-dimensional spectroscopy to investigate the spectral properties of a high-quality-factor microcavity with an embedded WSe\(_2\) van-der-Waals heterostructure at room temperature. Our approach reveals a rich multi-branch structure which thus far has not been captured in previous experiments. Simulation of the data reveals hybridized exciton-photon-phonon states, providing new physical insight into the exciton polariton system based on layered TMDs.
In this work the creation of silicon vacancy spin defects in silicon carbide with predictable properties is demonstrated. Neutron and electron irradiation was used to create silicon vacancy ensembles and proton beam writing to create isolated vacancies at a desired position. The coherence properties of the created silicon vacancies as a function of the emitter density were investigated and a power-law function established. Sample annealing was implemented to increase the coherence properties of existing silicon vacancies. Further, spectral hole burning was used to implement absolute dc-magnetometry.
This thesis focused on the influence of the underlying crystal structure and hence, of the mutual molecular orientation, on the excited states in ordered molecular aggregates. For this purpose, two model systems have been investigated. In the prototypical donor-acceptor complex pentacene-perfluoropentacene (PEN-PFP) the optical accessibility of the charge transfer state and the possibility to fabricate highly defined interfaces by means of single crystal templates enabled a deep understanding of the spatial anisotropy of the charge transfer state formation. Transferring the obtained insights to the design of prototypical donor-acceptor devices, the importance of interface control to minimize the occurrence of charge transfer traps and thereby, to improve the device performance, could be demonstrated. The use of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) allowed for the examination of the influence of molecular packing on the excited electronic states without a change in molecular species by virtue of its inherent polymorphism. Combining structural investigations, optical absorption and emission spectroscopy, as well as Franck-Condon modeling of emission spectra revealed the nature of the optical excited state emission in relation to the structural \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) phase over a wide temperature range from 4 K to 300 K. As a results, the phase transition kinetics of the first order \(\alpha \rightarrow \beta\) phase transition were characterized in depth and applied to the fabrication of prototypical dual luminescent OLEDs.
Spin-Orbit Torques and Galvanomagnetic Effects Generated by the 3D Topological Insulator HgTe
(2021)
Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But I have no doubt that the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself all at once. Albert Einstein
In my dissertation, I addressed the question of whether the 3D topological insulator mercury telluride (3D TI HgTe) is a suitable material for spintronics applications. This question was addressed by investigating the SOTs generated by the 3D TI HgTe in an adjacent ferromagnet (Permalloy) by using the ferromagnetic resonance technique (SOT-FMR).
In the first part of the dissertation, the reader was introduced to the mathematical description of the SOTs of a hybrid system consisting of a topological insulator (TI) and a ferromagnet (FM). Furthermore, the sample preparation and the measurement setup for the SOT-FMR measurements were discussed. Our SOT-FMR measurements showed that at low temperatures (T = 4.2 K) the out-of-plane component of the torque is dominant. At room temperature, both in-plane and out-of-plane components of the torque could be observed. From the symmetry of the mixing voltage (Figs. 3.14 and 3.15) we could conclude that the 3D TI HgTe may be efficient for the generation of spin torques in the permalloy [1]. The investigations reported here showed that the SOT efficiencies generated by the 3D TI HgTe are comparable with other existent topological insulators (see Fig. 3.17). We also discussed in detail the parasitic effects (such as thermovoltages) that can contribute to the correct interpretation of the spin torque efficiencies.
Although the results reported here provide several indications that the 3D TI HgTe might be efficient in exerting spin-torques in adjacent ferromagnets [2], the reader was repeatedly made aware that parasitic effects might contaminate the correct writing and reading of the information in the ferromagnet. These effects should be taken into consideration when interpreting results in the published literature claiming high spin-orbit torque efficiencies [2–4]. The drawbacks of the SOT-FMR measurement method led to a further development of our measurement concept, in which the ferromagnet on top of the 3D TI HgTe was replaced by a
spin-valve structure. In contrast with our measurements, in this measurement setup, the current flowing through the HgTe is known and changes in the spin-valve resistance can be read via the GMR effect.
Moreover, the SOT-FMR experiments required the application of an in-plane magnetic field up to 300 mT to define the magnetization direction in the ferromagnet. Motivated by this fact, we investigated the influence of an in-plane magnetic field in the magnetoresistance of the 3D TI HgTe. The surprising results of these measurements are described in the second part of the dissertation. Although the TI studied here is non-magnetic, its transversal MR (Rxy) showed an oscillating behavior that depended on the angle between the in-plane magnetic field and the electrical current. This effect is a typical property of ferromagnetic materials and is called planar Hall effect (PHE) [5, 6]. Moreover, it was also shown that the PHE amplitude (Rxy) and the longitudinal resistance (Rxx) oscillate as a function of the in-plane magnetic field amplitude for a wide range of carrier densities of the topological insulator.
The PHE was already described in another TI material (Bi2−xSbxTe3) [7]. The authors suggested as a possible mechanism the scattering of the electron off impurities that are polarized by an in-plane magnetic field. We critically discussed this and other theoretical proposed mechanisms existent in the literature [8, 9].
In this thesis, we attempted to explain the origin of the PHE in the 3D TI HgTe by anisotropies in the band structure of this material. The k.p calculations based on 6-orbitals were able to demonstrate that an interplay between Rashba, Dresselhaus, and in-plane magnetic field deforms the Fermi contours of the camel back band of the 3D TI HgTe, which could lead to anisotropies in its conductivity. However, the magnetic fields needed to experimentally observe this effect are as
high as 40 T, i.e., one order of magnitude higher than reported in our experiments. Additionally, calculations of the DoS to assess if there is a difference in the states for Bin parallel and Bin perpendicular to the current were, so far, inconclusive. Moreover, the complicated dependence of Rashba in the p-conducting
regime of HgTe [10] makes it not straightforward the inclusion of this term in the band structure calculations.
Despite the extensive efforts to understand the origin of the galvanomagnetic effects in the 3D TI HgTe, we could not determine a clear mechanism for the origin of the PHE and the MR oscillations studied in this thesis. However, our work clarifies and excludes a few mechanisms reported in the literature as the origin of these effects in the 3D TI HgTe. The major challenge, which still needs to be overcome, is to find a model that simultaneously explains the PHE, the gate dependence, and the oscillations in the magnetoresistance of the 3D TI HgTe as a function of the in-plane magnetic field.
To conclude, the author would like to express her hope to have brought the reader closer to the complexity of the questions addressed in this thesis and to have initiated them into the art of properly conducting electrical transport measurements on topological insulators with in-plane magnetic fields.
X-ray full-field microscopy at laboratory sources for photon energies above 10 keV suffers from either long exposure times or low resolution. The photon flux is mainly limited by the objectives used, having a limited numerical aperture NA. We show that this can be overcome by making use of the cone-beam illumination of laboratory sources by imaging the same field of view (FoV) several times under slightly different angles using an array of X-ray lenses. Using this technique, the exposure time can be reduced drastically without any loss in terms of resolution. A proof-of-principle is given using an existing laboratory metal-jet source at the 9.25 keV Ga K\(_α\)-line and compared to a ray-tracing simulation of the setup.
The SNR spectra model and measurement method developed in this work yield reliable application-specific optima for image quality. This optimization can either be used to understand image quality, find out how to build a good imaging device or to (automatically) optimize the parameters of an existing setup.
SNR spectra are here defined as a fraction of power spectra instead of a product of device properties. In combination with the newly developed measurement method for this definition, a close correspondence be- tween theory and measurement is achieved. Prior approaches suffer from a focus on theoretical definitions without fully considering if the defined quantities can be measured correctly. Additionally, discrepancies between assumptions and reality are common.
The new approach is more reliable and complete, but also more difficult to evaluate and interpret. The signal power spectrum in the numerator of this fraction allows to model the image quality of different contrast mechanisms that are used in high-resolution x-ray imaging. Superposition equations derived for signal and noise enable understanding how polychromaticity (or superposition in general) affects the image quality.
For the concept of detection energy weighting, a quantitative model for how it affects im- age quality was found. It was shown that—depending on sample properties—not detecting x-ray photons can increase image quality. For optimal computational energy weighting, more general formula for the optimal weight was found. In addition to the signal strength, it includes noise and modulation transfer.
The novel method for measuring SNR spectra makes it possible to experimentally optimize image quality for different contrast mechanisms. This method uses one simple measurement to obtain a measure for im- age quality for a specific experimental setup. Comparable measurement methods typically require at least three more complex measurements, where the combination may then give a false result. SNR spectra measurements can be used to:
• Test theoretical predictions about image quality optima.
• Optimize image quality for a specific application.
• Find new mechanisms to improve image quality.
The last item reveals an important limitation of x- ray imaging in general: The achievable image quality is limited by the amount of x-ray photons interacting with the sample, not by the amount incident per detector area (see section 3.6). If the rest of the imaging geometry is fixed, moving the detector only changes the field of view, not the image quality. A practical consequence is that moving the sample closer to the x-ray source increases image quality quadratically.
The results of a SNR spectra measurement represent the image quality only on a relative scale, but very reliable. This relative scale is sufficient for an optimization problem. Physical effects are often already clearly identifiable by the shape of the functional relationship between input parameter and measurement result.
SNR spectra as a quantity are not well suited for standardization, but instead allow a reliable optimization. Not satisfying the requirements of standardization allows to use methods which have other advantages. In this case, the SNR spectra method describes the image quality for a specific application. Consequently, additional physical effects can be taken into account. Additionally, the measurement method can be used to automate the setting of optimal machine parameters.
The newly proposed image quality measure detection effectiveness is better suited for standardization or setup comparison. This quantity is very similar to measures from other publications (e.g. CNR(u)), when interpreted monochromatically. Polychromatic effects can only be modeled fully by the DE(u). The measurement processes of both are different and the DE(u) is fundamentally more reliable.
Information technology and digital data processing make it possible to determine SNR spectra from a mea- sured image series. This measurement process was designed from the ground up to use these technical capabilities. Often, information technology is only used to make processes easier and more exact. Here, the whole measurement method would be infeasible without it. As this example shows, using the capabilities of digital data processing much more extensively opens many new possibilities. Information technology can be used to extract information from measured data in ways that analog data processing simply cannot.
The original purpose of the SNR spectra optimization theory and methods was to optimize high resolution x-ray imaging only. During the course of this work, it has become clear that some of the results of this work affect x-ray imaging in general. In the future, these results could be applied to MI and NDT x-ray imaging. Future work on the same topic will also need to consider the relationship between SNR spectra or DE(u) and sufficient image quality.This question is about the minimal image quality required for a specific measurement task.
The projects presented in this thesis cover the examination of the electronic and structural properties of organic thin films at noble metal-organic interfaces. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used as the primary investigative tool due to the connection of the emitted photoelectrons to the electronic structure of the sample. The surveyed materials are of relevance for fundamental research and practical applications on their own, but also serve as archetypes for the photoemission techniques presented throughout the four main chapters of this thesis. The techniques are therefore outlined with their adaptation to other systems in mind and a special focus on the proper description of the final state.
The most basic description of the final state that is still adequate for the evaluation of photoemission data is a plane wave. Its simplicity enables a relatively intuitive interpretation of photoemission data, since the initial and final state are related to one another by a Fourier transform and a geometric factor in this approximation. Moreover, the initial states of some systems can be reconstructed in three dimensions by combining photoemission measurements at various excitation energies. This reconstruction can even be carried out solely based on experimental data by using suitable iterative algorithms.
Since the approximation of the final state in the photoemission process by a plane wave is not valid in all instances, knowledge on the limitations of its applicability is indispensable. This can be gained by a comparison to experimental data as well as calculations with a more detailed description of the photoemission final state. One possible appraoch is based on independently emitting atoms where the coherent superposition of partial, atomic final states produces the total final state. This approach can also be used for more intricate studies on organic thin films. To this end, experimental data can be related to theoretical calculations to gain extensive insights into the structural and electronic properties of molecules in organic thin films.
In a comprehensive study, we demonstrate the performance and typical application scenarios for laboratory-based nano-computed tomography in materials research on various samples. Specifically, we focus on a projection magnification system with a nano focus source. The imaging resolution is quantified with common 2D test structures and validated in 3D applications by means of the Fourier Shell Correlation. As representative application examples from nowadays material research, we show metallization processes in multilayer integrated circuits, aging in lithium battery electrodes, and volumetric of metallic sub-micrometer fillers of composites. Thus, the laboratory system provides the unique possibility to image non-destructively structures in the range of 170–190 nanometers, even for high-density materials.
Since the early days of Dirac flux quantization, magnetic monopoles have been sought after as a potential corollary of quantized electric charge. As opposed to magnetic monopoles embedded into the theory of electromagnetism, Weyl semimetals (WSM) exhibit Berry flux monopoles in reciprocal parameter space. As a function of crystal momentum, such monopoles locate at the crossing point of spin-polarized bands forming the Weyl cone. Here, we report momentum-resolved spectroscopic signatures of Berry flux monopoles in TaAs as a paradigmatic WSM. We carried out angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy at bulk-sensitive soft X-ray energies (SX-ARPES) combined with photoelectron spin detection and circular dichroism. The experiments reveal large spin- and orbital-angular-momentum (SAM and OAM) polarizations of the Weyl-fermion states, resulting from the broken crystalline inversion symmetry in TaAs. Supported by first-principles calculations, our measurements image signatures of a topologically non-trivial winding of the OAM at the Weyl nodes and unveil a chirality-dependent SAM of the Weyl bands. Our results provide directly bulk-sensitive spectroscopic support for the non-trivial band topology in the WSM TaAs, promising to have profound implications for the study of quantum-geometric effects in solids. Weyl semimetals exhibit Berry flux monopoles in momentum-space, but direct experimental evidence has remained elusive. Here, the authors reveal topologically non-trivial winding of the orbital-angular-momentum at the Weyl nodes and a chirality-dependent spin-angular-momentum of the Weyl bands, as a direct signature of the Berry flux monopoles in TaAs.
Spin-spin interactions in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are pivotal because radiative recombination is largely determined by triplet-to-singlet conversion, also called reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). To explore the underlying process, we apply a spin-resonance spectral hole-burning technique to probe electroluminescence. We find that the triplet exciplex states in OLEDs are highly spin-polarized and show that these states can be decoupled from the heterogeneous nuclear environment as a source of spin dephasing and can even be coherently manipulated on a spin-spin relaxation time scale T-2* of 30 ns. Crucially, we obtain the characteristic triplet exciplex spin-lattice relaxation time T-1 in the range of 50 mu s, which far exceeds the RISC time. We conclude that slow spin relaxation rather than RISC is an efficiency-limiting step for intermolecular donor:acceptor systems. Finding TADF emitters with faster spin relaxation will benefit this type of TADF OLEDs.
Simultaneous measurements of 3D wall shear stress and pulse wave velocity in the murine aortic arch
(2021)
Purpose
Wall shear stress (WSS) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are important parameters to characterize blood flow in the vessel wall. Their quantification with flow-sensitive phase-contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), however, is time-consuming. Furthermore, the measurement of WSS requires high spatial resolution, whereas high temporal resolution is necessary for PWV measurements. For these reasons, PWV and WSS are challenging to measure in one CMR session, making it difficult to directly compare these parameters. By using a retrospective approach with a flexible reconstruction framework, we here aimed to simultaneously assess both PWV and WSS in the murine aortic arch from the same 4D flow measurement.
Methods
Flow was measured in the aortic arch of 18-week-old wildtype (n = 5) and ApoE\(^{−/−}\) mice (n = 5) with a self-navigated radial 4D-PC-CMR sequence. Retrospective data analysis was used to reconstruct the same dataset either at low spatial and high temporal resolution (PWV analysis) or high spatial and low temporal resolution (WSS analysis). To assess WSS, the aortic lumen was labeled by semi-automatically segmenting the reconstruction with high spatial resolution. WSS was determined from the spatial velocity gradients at the lumen surface. For calculation of the PWV, segmentation data was interpolated along the temporal dimension. Subsequently, PWV was quantified from the through-plane flow data using the multiple-points transit-time method. Reconstructions with varying frame rates and spatial resolutions were performed to investigate the influence of spatiotemporal resolution on the PWV and WSS quantification.
Results
4D flow measurements were conducted in an acquisition time of only 35 min. Increased peak flow and peak WSS values and lower errors in PWV estimation were observed in the reconstructions with high temporal resolution. Aortic PWV was significantly increased in ApoE\(^{−/−}\) mice compared to the control group (1.7 ± 0.2 versus 2.6 ± 0.2 m/s, p < 0.001). Mean WSS magnitude values averaged over the aortic arch were (1.17 ± 0.07) N/m\(^2\) in wildtype mice and (1.27 ± 0.10) N/m\(^2\) in ApoE\(^{−/−}\) mice.
Conclusion
The post processing algorithm using the flexible reconstruction framework developed in this study permitted quantification of global PWV and 3D-WSS in a single acquisition. The possibility to assess both parameters in only 35 min will markedly improve the analyses and information content of in vivo measurements.
Two-dimensional triangular lattices of group IV adatoms on semiconductor substrates provide a rich playground for the investigation of Mott-Hubbard physics. The possibility to combine various types of adatoms and substrates makes members of this material class versatile model systems to study the influence of correlation strength, band filling and spin-orbit coupling on the electronic structure - both experimentally and with dedicated many-body calculation techniques. The latter predict exotic ground states such as chiral superconductivity or spin liquid behavior for these frustrated lattices, however, experimental confirmation is still lacking. In this work, three different systems, namely the \(\alpha\)-phases of Sn/SiC(0001), Pb/Si(111), and potassium-doped Sn/Si(111) are investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy and photoemission spectroscopy in this regard. The results are potentially relevant for spintronic applications or quantum computing.
For the novel group IV triangular lattice Sn/SiC(0001), a combined experimental and theoretical study reveals that the system features surprisingly strong electronic correlations because they are boosted by the substrate through its partly ionic character and weak screening capabilities. Interestingly, the spectral function, measured for the first time via angle-resolved photoemission, does not show any additional superstructure beyond the intrinsic \(\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} R30^{\circ}\) reconstruction, thereby raising curiosity regarding the ground-state spin pattern.
For Pb/Si(111), preceding studies have noted a phase transition of the surface reconstruction from \(\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} R30^{\circ}\) to \(3 \times 3\) at 86 K. In this thesis, investigations of the low-temperature phase with high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy unveil the formation of a charge-ordered ground state. It is disentangled from a concomitant structural rearrangement which is found to be 2-up/1-down, in contrast to previous predictions. Applying an extended variational cluster approach, a phase diagram of local and nonlocal Coulomb interactions is mapped out. Based on a comparison of theoretical spectral functions with scattering vectors found via quasiparticle interference, Pb/Si(111) is placed in said phase diagram and electronic correlations are found to be the driving force of the charge-ordered state.
In order to realize a doped Mott insulator in a frustrated geometry, potassium was evaporated onto the well-known correlated Sn/Si(111) system. Instead of the expected insulator-to-metal transition, scanning tunneling spectroscopy data indicates that the electronic structure of Sn/Si(111) is only affected locally around potassium atoms while a metallization is suppressed. The potassium atoms were found to be adsorbed on empty \(T_4\) sites of the substrate which eventually leads to the formation of two types of K-Sn alloys with a relative potassium content of 1/3 and 1/2, respectively. Complementary measurements of the spectral function via angle-resolved photoemission reveal that the lower Hubbard band of Sn/Si(111) gradually changes its shape upon potassium deposition. Once the tin and potassium portion on the surface are equal, this evolution is complete and the system can be described as a band insulator without the need to include Coulomb interactions.
Tensor tomography is fundamentally based on the assumption of a both anisotropic and linear contrast mechanism. While the X-ray or neutron dark-field contrast obtained with Talbot(-Lau) interferometers features the required anisotropy, a preceding detailed study of dark-field signal origination however found its specific orientation dependence to be a non-linear function of the underlying anisotropic mass distribution and its orientation, especially challenging the common assumption that dark-field signals are describable by a function over the unit sphere. Here, two approximative linear tensor models with reduced orientation dependence are investigated in a simulation study with regard to their applicability to grating based X-ray or neutron dark-field tensor tomography. By systematically simulating and reconstructing a large sample of isolated volume elements covering the full range of feasible anisotropies and orientations, direct correspondences are drawn between the respective tensors characterizing the physically based dark-field model used for signal synthesization and the mathematically motivated simplified models used for reconstruction. The anisotropy of freely rotating volume elements is thereby confirmed to be, for practical reconstruction purposes, approximable both as a function of the optical axis' orientation or as a function of the interferometer's grating orientation. The eigenvalues of the surrogate models' tensors are found to exhibit fuzzy, yet almost linear relations to those of the synthesization model. Dominant orientations are found to be recoverable with a margin of error on the order of magnitude of 1 degrees. Although the input data must adequately address the full orientation dependence of dark-field anisotropy, the present results clearly support the general feasibility of quantitative X-ray dark-field tensor tomography within an inherent yet acceptable statistical margin of uncertainty.
This thesis aims to investigate the form-phase diagram of aqueous solutions of the triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 focusing on its high-temperature phases. P123 is based on polyethylene as well as polypropylene oxide blocks and shows a variety of di erent temperaturedependent micelle morphologies or even lyotropic liquid crystal phases in aqueous solutions. Besides the already well-studied spherical aggregates at intermediate temperatures, the size and internal structure of both worm-like and lamellar micelles, which appear near the cloud point, is determined using light, neutron and X-ray scattering. By combining the results of time-resolved dynamic light as well as small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering experiments, the underlying structural changes and kinetics of the sphere-to-worm transition were studied supporting the random fusion process, which is proposed in literature. For temperatures near the cloud point, it was observed that aqueous P123 solutions below the critical crystallization concentration gelate after several hours, which is linked to the presence and structure of polymeric surface layers on the sample container walls as shown by neutron re ectometry
measurements. Using a hierarchical model for the lamellar micelles including their periodicity as well as domain and overall size, it is possible to unify the existing results in literature and propose a direct connection between the near-surface and bulk properties of P123 solutions at temperatures near the cloud point.
Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) technology aims to replace dynamic RAM (DRAM) due to its significantly lower power consumption and non-volatility [Dong08]. During the last couple of years the commercial focus was set on spin-transfer torque MRAM (STT-MRAM) systems, where a current is pushed through a ferromagnetic (FM) free layer and a reference layer which are separated by an insulator. The free layer can be set to parallel or anti-parallel depending on the current direction [Kim11]. Unfortunately these currents have to be quite high which could lead to damages of the tunnel barrier of the magnetic tunnel junction resulting in higher power consumption as well as reliability issues. At this point a new effect, where the current is passed below the ferromagnetic layer stack, can be exploited to change the direction of the free layer magnetization. The effect is known as spin-orbit torque (SOT) and describes the transfer of angular momentum onto an adjacent magnetization either by the spin Hall effect (SHE) or inverse spin galvanic effect (iSGE) [Manchon19]. The latter describes a spin accumulation due to a current. This is similar to the process of spin accumulation in TIs, where a current corresponds to an effective spin due to spin-momentum locking [Qi11]. Thus TIs exhibit a high current-to-spin conversion rate, which makes them a promising material system for SOT experiments. Among all TIs it is HgTe, which can be reliably grown as an insulator. This thesis covers the development of a working device for SOT measurements (SOT-device) in a CdTe/CdHgTe/HgTe/CdHgTe heterostructure. It involves the development of a tunnel barrier (ZrOx) as well as the investigation of the behavior of a ferromagnetic layer stack on top of etched HgTe. The main result of this work is the successful construction and evaluation of a working SOT-device, which exhibits the up to date most efficient switching of in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic layer stacks.
In order to avoid hybridization between HgTe and the adjacent ferromagnetic atoms, which would cause a breakdown of the topological surface state, it is necessary to implement a thin tunnel barrier in between the TI and free layer [Zhang16]. Aside from hybridization a tunnel barrier avoids shunting of the current, that is pushed on the surface of the HgTe/CdHgTe interface. Thus a bigger part of the current can be used for spin accumulation and, at the same time, the resistance measurement of the ferromagnetic layer stack is not perturbed. In chapter 3 the focus is set on investigating the tunneling characteristics of ZrOx on top of dry etched HgTe. Thin barriers are used as the interaction of the current generated spin and the adjacent magnetization decreases with distance. On the other hand too small insulator thicknesses lead to leakage currents which disturb heavily the measurement of the resistance of the ferromagnetic layer stack. Thus an optimum thickness of 10 ALD cycles (\(d\approx 1.6\rm\, nm\)) is determined which yields a resistance area product of \(R\cdot A \approx 3\rm\, k\Omega\mu m^{2}\). This corresponds to a tunneling resistance of \(R_{T}\approx 20\rm\, k\Omega\) over a structure surface of \(A_{T} = 0.12\rm\, \mu m^2\). Multiple samples with different thicknesses have been produced. All samples have been examined on their tunneling behavior. The resistance area product as a function of thickness shows a linear behavior on a logarithmic scale. Furthermore all working samples show non-linear I-V curves as well as parabolic dI/dV-curves. Additionally the tunneling resistance \(R_{T}\) increases with decreasing temperature. All above mentioned properties are typical for tunnel barriers which do not include pinholes [Jonsson00]. The last part of chapter 3 deals with thermal properties of HgTe. By measuring the second harmonic of a biasing AC current in the channel below the tunnel barrier it is attempted to extract the diffusion thermopower of the heated electrons. Unfortunately the measured signal showed a far superior contribution of the first harmonic. According to electric circuit simulations a small asymmetry in the barrier (penetration and leaving point of electrons) could be responsible for this behavior.
A ferromagnetic layer stack, consisting of PY/Cu/CoFe, serves as a sensor for magnetization changes due to external fields and current induced spin accumulations. The layer stack exhibits a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) which has been measured by a resistance bridge. The biggest peculiarity in depositing a GMR stack on top of HgTe is that its easy axis forms along only one of the crystal axes (\((110)\) or \((1\overline{1}0)\)). The reason for this anisotropy is still unclear. Sources such as an influence of the terminating material, miscut, furrows during IBE or sputter ripples have been ruled out. It can be speculated that the surface states due to HgTe might have an influence on the development of this easy axis but this would need further investigation. A consequence of this unexpected anisotropy is that every CdTe/CdHgTe/HgTe/CdHgTe wafer has first to be characterized in SQUID in order to find the easy axis. A ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurement confirmed this observation. The shape of the ferromagnetic layer stack is chosen to be an ellipse in order to support the easy axis direction by shape anisotropy. Over 8 million ellipses are used to generate a SQUID signal of \(m > 10^{-5}\rm\, emu\). This is sufficient to extract the main characteristics of an average nano pillar under the influence of an external magnetic field. As in the case of bigger structures the ellipse shaped structure shows a step-like behavior. A measured minor loop confirms the existence of the irreversible anti-parallel stable magnetic state. Furthermore this state persists for both directions at \(m=0\) resulting in an anti-ferromagnetic coupling between Py and CoFe.
The geometry of the SOT-device is chosen in such a way that the current induced spin aligns either parallel or anti-parallel to the effective magnetic field \(\vec{B}_{eff}=\vec{B}_{ext}+\vec{B}_{aniso}+\vec{B}_{shape}\), which acts on the pillar. Due to interaction of the spin with the adjacent magnetization of Py the magnetization direction gets changed by a torque \(\vec{T}\). In general this torque can be decomposed into two components a field-like torque \(\vec{\tau}_{FL}\) and a damping-like torque \(\vec{\tau}_{DL}\) [Manchon19]. In the case of TIs \(\vec{T}\) is additionally depending on the z-component of \(\vec{m}\) [Ndiaye17]. In our case the magnetization is lying in the sample plane (\(m_{z}=0\)) which results in \(\vec{\tau}_{DL}=0\). Thus, in the case of \(\vec{S}\parallel\left(\vec{\hat{z}}\times\vec{j}\right)\) and \(\vec{j}\parallel\vec{\hat{y}}\), the only spin dependent effective magnetic field is \(\vec{B}_{FL}=\tau_{FL}\cdot\vec{\hat{x}}\) which is lying parallel or anti-parallel to \(\vec{B}_{eff}\). The evaluation of \(\vec{B}_{FL}\) can therefore be done in the following manner. First a high \(B_{ext}\) has to be set along the easy axis of the pillar. Then \(B_{ext}\) has to be reduced just a few \(\rm\, Oe\) before the switching occurs at the magnetic field \(B_{ext,0}\). At the magnetic field \(\Delta B = B_{ext}-B_{ext,0}\approx 0.5\rm\, Oe\) the lower resistive state should be stable over a longer time range (\(10-30\rm\, min\)) in order to exclude switching due to fluctuations. Now a positive or negative current can be pushed through the channel below the pillar. For one of the two current directions the magnetization of Py switches. It is therefore not a thermal effect that drives the change of \(\vec{m}\). Current densities that are able to switch \(\vec{m}\) at small \(\Delta B\neq 0\) lie in the range of \(j\approx 10^{4}\rm\, A/cm^{2}\). In all experiments the switching efficiency \(\Delta B/j\) decreases with rising \(j\). Furthermore the efficiency as a function of \(j\) depends on the temperature as \(\Delta B/j\) values tend to be up to 20 times higher at \(T=1.8\rm\, K\) and \(j\approx 0\) than at \(T=4.2\rm\, K\). This temperature dependence suggests that switching occurs not due to Oersted fields. Furthermore the Biot-Savart fields had been calculated for four different models: an infinite long rectangular wire, two infinite planes, a full volume and two thin volume planes. Every model shows an efficiency, which is at least three times lower than the observation.
The highest efficiencies in our samples show up to 10 times higher values than in heavy-metal/ferromagnets heterostructures. In contrast to measurement procedures of most other groups our method leads to direct determination of SOT parameters like the effective magnetic field \(\vec{B}_{FL}\). Other groups make use of spin-transfer FMR (ST-FMR) where they AC bias their structure and extract SOT parameters (like \(\tau_{FL}\) and \(\tau_{DL}\)) from second harmonics by fitting theoretical models. Material systems consisting of TIs and magnetic insulators (MIs) on the other hand show 10 times higher efficiencies [Khang18,Li19]. In those cases the magnetization points out of the sample plane which is conceptually different from in-plane magnetic anisotropy geometries like in our case. The greatest benefit in-plane magnetic anisotropy systems is its easy realisation [Bhatti17]. Here only an elliptical shape has to be lithographically implemented instead of conducting research on the appropriate combination of material systems that result in perpendicular magnetic anisotropies [Apalkov16]. Despite the fact that in our case only \(\vec{\tau}_{FL}\) acts as the driving force for changing \(m\) our device still exhibits the up to date highest efficiencies in the class of in-plane magnetized anisotropies of all material classes ever recorded.
Reduced Recombination Losses in Evaporated Perovskite Solar Cells by Postfabrication Treatment
(2021)
The photovoltaic perovskite research community has now developed a large set of tools and techniques to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE). One such arcane trick is to allow the finished devices to dwell in time, and the PCE often improves. Herein, a mild postannealing procedure is implemented on coevaporated perovskite solar cells confirming a substantial PCE improvement, mainly attributed to an increased open-circuit voltage (V\(_{OC}\)). From a V\(_{OC}\) of around 1.11 V directly after preparation, the voltage improves to more than 1.18 V by temporal and thermal annealing. To clarify the origin of this annealing effect, an in-depth device experimental and simulation characterization is conducted. A simultaneous reduction of the dark saturation current, the ideality factor (n\(_{id}\)), and the leakage current is revealed, signifying a substantial impact of the postannealing procedure on recombination losses. To investigate the carrier dynamics in more detail, a set of transient optoelectrical methods is first evaluated, ascertaining that the bulk carrier lifetime is increased with device annealing. Second, a drift-diffusion simulation is used, confirming that the beneficial effect of the annealing has its origin in effective bulk trap passivation that accordingly leads to a reduction of Shockley–Read–Hall recombination rates.
This work revealed spin states that are involved in the light generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that are based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). First, several donor:acceptor-based TADF systems forming exciplex states were investigated. Afterwards, a TADF emitter that shows intramolecular charge transfer states but also forms exciplex states with a proper donor molecule was studied. The primary experimental technique was electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in particular the advanced methods electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR), photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). Additional information was gathered from time-resolved and continuous wave photoluminescence measurements.
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) utilize molecular systems with a small energy splitting between singlet and triplet states. This can either be realized in intramolecular charge transfer states of molecules with near‐orthogonal donor and acceptor moieties or in intermolecular exciplex states formed between a suitable combination of individual donor and acceptor materials. Here, 4,4′‐(9H,9′H‐[3,3′‐bicarbazole]‐9,9′‐diyl)bis(3‐(trifluoromethyl) benzonitrile) (pCNBCzoCF\(_{3}\)) is investigated, which shows intramolecular TADF but can also form exciplex states in combination with 4,4′,4′′‐tris[phenyl(m‐tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (m‐MTDATA). Orange emitting exciplex‐based OLEDs additionally generate a sky‐blue emission from the intramolecular emitter with an intensity that can be voltage‐controlled. Electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR) is applied to study the thermally activated spin‐dependent triplet to singlet up‐conversion in operating devices. Thereby, intermediate excited states involved in OLED operation can be investigated and the corresponding activation energy for both, intra‐ and intermolecular based TADF can be derived. Furthermore, a lower estimate is given for the extent of the triplet wavefunction to be ≥ 1.2 nm. Photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) reveals the population of molecular triplets in optically excited thin films. Overall, the findings allow to draw a comprehensive picture of the spin‐dependent emission from intra‐ and intermolecular TADF OLEDs.
This work consists of two parts. On the one hand, it describes simulation and
measurement of the effect of contaminations of the detector gas on the performance
of particle detectors, with special focus on Micromegas detectors. On the other
hand, it includes the setup of a production site for the finalization of drift panels
which are going to be used in the ATLAS NSW. The first part augments these
two parts to give an introduction into the theoretical foundations of gaseous particle
detectors.
As a non-destructive testing method, X-ray imaging has proved to be suitable for the examination of a variety of objects. The measurement principle is based on the attenuation of X-rays caused by these objects. This attenuation can be recorded as shades of intensity using X-ray detectors and thus contains information about the inner structure of the investigated object. Since X-rays are electromagnetic waves, they also experience a change of phase in addition to their attenuation while penetrating an object. In general, imaging methods based on this effect are referred to as phase contrast imaging techniques. In the laboratory, the two mainly used methods are the propagation based phase contrast or in-line phase contrast and the grating interferometry.
While in-line phase contrast - under certain conditions - shows edge enhancement at interfaces due to interference, phase contrast in the grating interferometry is only indirectly measurable by the use of several gratings. In addition to phase contrast, grating interferometry provides access to the so-called dark-field imaging contrast, which measures the scattering of X-rays caused by an object.
These two imaging techniques, together with a novel concept of laboratory X-ray sources, the liquid-metal-jet, form the main part of this work. Compared to conventional X-ray sources, the liquid-metal-jet source offers higher brightness. The term brightness is defined by the number of X-ray photons per second, emitting area (area of the X-ray spot) and solid angle at which they are emitted.
On the basis of this source, a high resolution in-line phase contrast setup was partially developed in the scope of this work. Several computed tomographies show the feasibility of in-line phase contrast and the improvement of image quality by applying phase retrieval algorithms.
Moreover, the determination of optimized sample positions for in-line phase contrast imaging is treated at which the edge enhancement is maximized. Based on primitive fiber objects, this optimization has proven to be a good approximation.
With its high brightness in combination with a high spatial coherence, the liquid-metal-jet source is also interesting for grating interferometry. The development of such a setup is also part of this work. The overall concept and the characterization of the setup is presented as well as the applicability and its limits for the investigation of various objects.
Due to the very unique concept of this grating interferometer it was possible to realize a modified interferometer system by using a single grating only. Its concept and results are also presented in this work.
Furthermore, a grating interferometer based on a microfocus X-ray tube was tested regarding its performance. Thereby, parameters like the anode material, acquisition geometry and gratings were altered in order to find the advantages and disadvantages of each configuration.
Growth, ageing and atherosclerotic plaque development alter the biomechanical forces acting on the vessel wall. However, monitoring the detailed local changes in wall shear stress (WSS) at distinct sites of the murine aortic arch over time has been challenging. Here, we studied the temporal and spatial changes in flow, WSS, oscillatory shear index (OSI) and elastic properties of healthy wildtype (WT, n = 5) and atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe\(^{−/−}\), n = 6) mice during ageing and atherosclerosis using high-resolution 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spatially resolved 2D projection maps of WSS and OSI of the complete aortic arch were generated, allowing the pixel-wise statistical analysis of inter- and intragroup hemodynamic changes over time and local correlations between WSS, pulse wave velocity (PWV), plaque and vessel wall characteristics. The study revealed converse differences of local hemodynamic profiles in healthy WT and atherosclerotic Apoe\(^{−/−}\) mice, and we identified the circumferential WSS as potential marker of plaque size and composition in advanced atherosclerosis and the radial strain as a potential marker for vascular elasticity. Two-dimensional (2D) projection maps of WSS and OSI, including statistical analysis provide a powerful tool to monitor local aortic hemodynamics during ageing and atherosclerosis. The correlation of spatially resolved hemodynamics and plaque characteristics could significantly improve our understanding of the impact of hemodynamics on atherosclerosis, which may be key to understand plaque progression towards vulnerability.
Coupling N identical emitters to the same field mode is a well-established method to enhance light-matter interaction. However, the resulting √N boost of the coupling strength comes at the cost of a “linearized” (effectively semiclassical) dynamics. Here, we instead demonstrate a new approach for enhancing the coupling constant of a single quantum emitter, while retaining the nonlinear character of the light-matter interaction. We consider a single quantum emitter with N nearly degenerate transitions that are collectively coupled to the same field mode. We show that in such conditions an effective Jaynes-Cummings model emerges with a boosted coupling constant of order √N. The validity and consequences of our general conclusions are analytically demonstrated for the instructive case N=2. We further observe that our system can closely match the spectral line shapes and photon autocorrelation functions typical of Jaynes-Cummings physics, proving that quantum optical nonlinearities are retained. Our findings match up very well with recent broadband plasmonic nanoresonator strong-coupling experiments and will, therefore, facilitate the control and detection of single-photon nonlinearities at ambient conditions.
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of large and medium-sized arteries, characterized by the growth of atherosclerotic lesions (plaques). These plaques often develop at inner curvatures of arteries, branchpoints, and bifurcations, where the endothelial wall shear stress is low and oscillatory. In conjunction with other processes such as lipid deposition, biomechanical factors lead to local vascular inflammation and plaque growth. There is also evidence that low and oscillatory shear stress contribute to arterial remodeling, entailing a loss in arterial elasticity and, therefore, an increased pulse-wave velocity. Although altered shear stress profiles, elasticity and inflammation are closely intertwined and critical for plaque growth, preclinical and clinical investigations for atherosclerosis mostly focus on the investigation of one of these parameters only due to the experimental limitations. However, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been demonstrated to be a potent tool which can be used to provide insights into a large range of biological parameters in one experimental session. It enables the evaluation of the dynamic process of atherosclerotic lesion formation without the need for harmful radiation. Flow-sensitive MRI provides the assessment of hemodynamic parameters such as wall shear stress and pulse wave velocity which may replace invasive and radiation-based techniques for imaging of the vascular
function and the characterization of early plaque development. In combination with inflammation imaging, the analyses and correlations of these parameters could not only significantly advance basic preclinical investigations of atherosclerotic lesion formation and progression, but also the diagnostic clinical evaluation for early identification of high-risk plaques, which are prone to rupture. In this review, we summarize the key applications of magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of plaque characteristics through flow sensitive and morphological measurements. The simultaneous measurements of functional and structural parameters will further preclinical research on atherosclerosis and has the potential to fundamentally improve the detection of inflammation and vulnerable plaques in patients.
We demonstrate single-photon emission with a low probability of multiphoton events of 5% in the C-band of telecommunication spectral range of standard silica fibers from molecular beam epitaxy grown (100)-GaAs-based structure with InAs quantum dots (QDs) on a metamorphic buffer layer. For this purpose, we propose and implement graded In content digitally alloyed InGaAs metamorphic buffer layer with maximal In content of 42% and GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflector underneath to enhance the extraction efficiency of QD emission. The fundamental limit of the emission rate for the investigated structures is 0.5 GHz based on an emission lifetime of 1.95 ns determined from time-resolved photoluminescence. We prove the relevance of a proposed technology platform for the realization of non-classical light sources in the context of fiber-based quantum communication applications.
Bloch oscillations are a phenomenon well known from quantum mechanics where electrons in a lattice experience an oscillatory motion in the presence of an electric field gradient. Here, the authors report on Bloch oscillations of hybrid light−matter particles, called exciton‐polaritons (polaritons), being confined in an array of coupled microcavity waveguides. To this end, the waveguide widths and their mutual couplings are carefully designed such that a constant energy gradient is induced perpendicular to the direction of motion of the propagating polaritons. This technique allows us to directly observe and study Bloch oscillations in real‐ and momentum‐space. Furthermore, the experimental findings are supported by numerical simulations based on a modified Gross–Pitaevskii approach. This work provides an important transfer of basic concepts of quantum mechanics to integrated solid state devices, using quantum fluids of light.
Spin defects in solid-state materials are strong candidate systems for quantum information technology and sensing applications. Here we explore in details the recently discovered negatively charged boron vacancies (V\(_B\)\(^−\)) in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and demonstrate their use as atomic scale sensors for temperature, magnetic fields and externally applied pressure. These applications are possible due to the high-spin triplet ground state and bright spin-dependent photoluminescence of the V\(_B\)\(^−\). Specifically, we find that the frequency shift in optically detected magnetic resonance measurements is not only sensitive to static magnetic fields, but also to temperature and pressure changes which we relate to crystal lattice parameters. We show that spin-rich hBN films are potentially applicable as intrinsic sensors in heterostructures made of functionalized 2D materials.
The subject of this thesis is the fabrication and characterization of magnetic topological
insulator layers of (V,Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\) exhibiting the quantum anomalous Hall
effect. A major task was the experimental realization of the quantum anomalous
Hall effect, which is only observed in layers with very specific structural,
electronic and magnetic properties. These properties and their influence on the
quantum anomalous Hall effect are analyzed in detail.
First, the optimal conditions for the growth of pure Bi\(_2\)Te\(_3\) and Sb\(_2\)Te\(_3\) crystal
layers and the resulting structural quality are studied. The crystalline quality of
Bi\(_2\)Te\(_3\) improves significantly at higher growth temperatures resulting in a small
mosaicity-tilt and reduced twinning defects. The optimal growth temperature is
determined as 260\(^{\circ}\)C, low enough to avoid desorption while maintaining a high
crystalline quality.
The crystalline quality of Sb\(_2\)Te\(_3\) is less dependent on the growth temperature.
Temperatures below 230\(^{\circ}\)C are necessary to avoid significant material desorption,
though. Especially for the nucleation on Si(111)-H, a low sticking coefficient is
observed preventing the coalescence of islands into a homogeneous layer.
The influence of the substrate type, miscut and annealing sequence on the growth
of Bi\(_2\)Te\(_3\) layers is investigated. The alignment of the layer changes depending on
the miscut angle and annealing sequence: Typically, layer planes align parallel to
the Si(111) planes. This can enhance the twin suppression due to transfer of the
stacking order from the substrate to the layer at step edges, but results in a step
bunched layer morphology. For specific substrate preparations, however, the layer
planes are observed to align parallel to the surface plane. This alignment avoids
displacement at the step edges, which would cause anti-phase domains. This results
in narrow Bragg peaks in XRD rocking curve scans due to long-range order in
the absence of anti-phase domains. Furthermore, the use of rough Fe:InP(111):B
substrates leads to a strong reduction of twinning defects and a significantly reduced
mosaicity-twist due to the smaller lattice mismatch.
Next, the magnetically doped mixed compound V\(_z\)(Bi\(_{1−x}\)Sb\(_x\))\(_{2−z}\)Te\(_3\) is studied in
order to realize the quantum anomalous Hall effect. The addition of V and Bi to
Sb\(_2\)Te\(_3\) leads to efficient nucleation on the Si(111)-H surface and a closed, homogeneous
layer. Magneto-transport measurements of layers reveal a finite anomalous
Hall resistivity significantly below the von Klitzing constant. The observation of
the quantum anomalous Hall effect requires the complete suppression of parasitic
bulklike conduction due to defect induced carriers. This can be achieved by optimizing
the thickness, composition and growth conditions of the layers.
The growth temperature is observed to strongly influence the structural quality.
Elevated temperatures result in bigger islands, improved crystallographic orientation
and reduced twinning. On the other hand, desorption of primarily Sb is
observed, affecting the thickness, composition and reproducibility of the layers.
At 190\(^{\circ}\)C, desorption is avoided enabling precise control of layer thickness and
composition of the quaternary compound while maintaining a high structural
quality.
It is especially important to optimize the Bi/Sb ratio in the (V,Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\) layers,
since by alloying n-type Bi\(_2\)Te\(_3\) and p-type Sb\(_2\)Te\(_3\) charge neutrality is achieved at
a specific mixing ratio. This is necessary to shift the Fermi level into the magnetic
exchange gap and fully suppress the bulk conduction. The Sb content x furthermore
influences the in-plane lattice constant a significantly. This is utilized to
accurately determine x even for thin films below 10 nm thickness required for the
quantum anomalous Hall effect. Furthermore, x strongly influences the surface
morphology: with increasing x the island size decreases and the RMS roughness
increases by up to a factor of 4 between x = 0 and x = 1.
A series of samples with x varied between 0.56-0.95 is grown, while carefully
maintaining a constant thickness of 9 nm and a doping concentration of 2 at.% V.
Magneto-transport measurements reveal the charge neutral point around x = 0.86
at 4.2 K. The maximum of the anomalous Hall resistivity of 0.44 h/e\(^2\) is observed
at x = 0.77 close to charge neutrality. Reducing the measurement temperature
to 50 mK significantly increases the anomalous Hall resistivity. Several samples
in a narrow range of x between 0.76-0.79 show the quantum anomalous Hall effect
with the Hall resistivity reaching the von Klitzing constant and a vanishing
longitudinal resistivity. Having realized the quantum anomalous Hall effect as the
first group in Europe, this breakthrough enabled us to study the electronic and
magnetic properties of the samples in close collaborations with other groups.
In collaboration with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt high-precision
measurements were conducted with detailed error analysis yielding a relative de-
viation from the von Klitzing constant of (0.17 \(\pm\) 0.25) * 10\(^{−6}\). This is published
as the smallest, most precise value at that time, proving the high quality of the
provided samples. This result paves the way for the application of magnetic topological
insulators as zero-field resistance standards.
Non-local magneto-transport measurements were conducted at 15 mK in close
collaboration with the transport group in EP3. The results prove that transport
happens through chiral edge channels. The detailed analysis of small anomalies in
transport measurements reveals instabilities in the magnetic phase even at 15 mK.
Their time dependent nature indicates the presence of superparamagnetic contributions
in the nominally ferromagnetic phase.
Next, the influence of the capping layer and the substrate type on structural properties
and the impact on the quantum anomalous Hall effect is investigated. To
this end, a layer was grown on a semi-insulating Fe:InP(111)B substrate using the
previously optimized growth conditions. The crystalline quality is improved significantly
with the mosaicity twist reduced from 5.4\(^{\circ}\) to 1.0\(^{\circ}\). Furthermore, a layer
without protective capping layer was grown on Si and studied after providing sufficient
time for degradation. The uncapped layer on Si shows perfect quantization,
while the layer on InP deviates by about 5%. This may be caused by the higher
crystalline quality, but variations in e.g. Sb content cannot be ruled out as the
cause. Overall, the quantum anomalous Hall effect seems robust against changes
in substrate and capping layer with only little deviations.
Furthermore, the dependence of the quantum anomalous Hall effect on the thickness
of the layers is investigated. Between 5-8 nm thickness the material typically
transitions from a 2D topological insulator with hybridized top and bottom surface
states to a 3D topological insulator. A set of samples with 6 nm, 8 nm, and
9 nm thickness exhibits the quantum anomalous Hall effect, while 5 nm and 15 nm
thick layers show significant bulk contributions. The analysis of the longitudinal
and Hall conductivity during the reversal of magnetization reveals distinct differences
between different thicknesses. The 6 nm thick layer shows scaling consistent
with the integer quantum Hall effect, while the 9 nm thick layer shows scaling expected
for the topological surface states of a 3D topological insulator. The unique
scaling of the 9 nm thick layer is of particular interest as it may be a result of
axion electrodynamics in a 3D topological insulator.
Subsequently, the influence of V doping on the structural and magnetic properties
of the host material is studied systematically. Similarly to Bi alloying, increased
V doping seems to flatten the layer surface significantly. With increasing V content,
Te bonding partners are observed to increase simultaneously in a 2:3 ratio
as expected for V incorporation on group-V sites. The linear contraction of the
in-plane and out-of-plane lattice constants with increasing V doping is quantitatively
consistent with the incorporation of V\(^{3+}\) ions, possibly mixed with V\(^{4+}\)
ions, at the group-V sites. This is consistent with SQUID measurements showing
a magnetization of 1.3 \(\mu_B\) per V ion.
Finally, magnetically doped topological insulator heterostructures are fabricated
and studied in magneto-transport. Trilayer heterostructures with a non-magnetic
(Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\) layer sandwiched between two magnetically doped layers are predicted
to host the axion insulator state if the two magnetic layers are decoupled and in
antiparallel configuration. Magneto-transport measurements of such a trilayer heterostructure
with 7 nm undoped (Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\) between 2 nm thick layers doped with
1.5 at.% V exhibit a zero Hall plateau representing an insulating state. Similar results
in the literature were interpreted as axion insulator state, but in the absence
of a measurement showing the antiparallel magnetic orientation other explanations
for the insulating state cannot be ruled out.
Furthermore, heterostructures including a 2 nm thin, highly V doped layer region
show an anomalous Hall effect of opposite sign compared to previous samples. A
dependency on the thickness and position of the doped layer region is observed,
which indicates that scattering at the interfaces causes contributions to the anomalous
Hall effect of opposite sign compared to bulk scattering effects.
Many interesting phenomena in quantum anomalous Hall insulators as well as axion
insulators are still not unambiguously observed. This includes Majorana bound
states in quantum anomalous Hall insulator/superconductor hybrid systems and
the topological magneto-electric effect in axion insulators. The limited observation
temperature of the quantum anomalous Hall effect of below 1 K could be increased
in 3D topological insulator/magnetic insulator heterostructures which utilize the
magnetic proximity effect.
The main achievement of this thesis is the reproducible growth and characterization
of (V,Bi,Sb)2Te3 layers exhibiting the quantum anomalous Hall effect. The
detailed study of the structural requirements of the quantum anomalous Hall effect
and the observation of the unique axionic scaling behavior in 3D magnetic
topological insulator layers leads to a better understanding of the nature of this
new quantum state. The high-precision measurements of the quantum anomalous
Hall effect reporting the smallest deviation from the von Klitzing constant
are an important step towards the realization of a zero-field quantum resistance
standard.
The subject of this thesis is the growth of Hg\(_{1-x}\)Cd\(_2\)Te layers via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
This material system gives rise to a number of extraordinary physical phenomena related to its electronic band structure and therefore is of fundamental interest in research.
The main results can be divided into three main areas, the implementation of a temperature measurement system based on band edge thermometry (BET), improvements of CdTe virtual substrate growth and the investigation of Hg\(_{1-x}\)Cd\(_2\)Te for different compositions.
Magnetic particle imaging is an emerging tomographic method used for evaluation of the spatial distribution of iron‐oxide nanoparticles. In this work, the effect of the polymer coating on the response of particles was studied. Particles with covalently crosslinked coating showed improved signal and image resolution.
In order to facilitate the human energy needs with renewable energy sources in the future, new concepts and ideas for the electricity generation are needed. Solar cells based on metal halide perovskite semiconductors represent a promising approach to address these demands in both single-junction and tandem configurations with existing silicon technology. Despite intensive research, however, many physical properties and the working principle of perovskite PVs are still not fully understood. In particular, charge carrier recombination losses have so far mostly been studied on pure films not embedded in a complete solar cell. This thesis aimed for the identification and quantification of charge carrier recombination dynamics in fully working devices under conditions corresponding to those under real operation. To study different PV systems, transient electrical methods, more precisely Open-Circuit Voltage Decay (OCVD), Transient Photovoltage (TPV) and Charge Extraction (CE), were applied. Whereas OCVD and TPV provide information about the recombination lifetime, CE allows to access the charge carrier density at a specific illumination intensity. The benefit of combining these different methods is that the obtained quantities can not only be related to the Voc but also to each other, thus enabling to determine also the dominant recombination mechanisms.The aim of this thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of recombination losses in fully working perovskite solar cells and the experimental techniques which are applied to determine these losses.
Quantitative Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Studies of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors
(2020)
In the present work we investigated various charge transfer processes, as they appear in the versatile world of organic semiconductors by probing the spin states of the corresponding charge carrier species via electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. All studied material systems are carbon-based compounds, either belonging to the group of polymers, fullerenes, or single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
In the first instance, we addressed the change of the open circuit voltage (Voc) with the fullerene blend stoichiometry in fullerene-based solar cells for organic photovoltaics (OPV). The voltage depends strongly on the energy separation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the donor and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the acceptor. By exploiting the Gaussian distribution of the charge carriers in a two-level system, and thus also their spins in the EPR experiment, it could be shown that the LUMOs get closer by a few to a few hundred meV when going from pure fullerene materials to a fullerene mixture. The reason for this strong energetic effect is likely the formation of a fullerene alloy.
Further, we investigated the chemical doping mechanism of SWNTs with a (6,5)-chirality and their behaviour under optical excitation. In order to determine the unintentional (pre)-doping of SWNTs, EPR spectra of the raw material as well as after different purification steps were recorded. This facilitated the determination of nanotube defects and atmospheric p-doping as the causes of the measured EPR signals. In order to deliberately transfer additional charge carriers to the nanotubes, we added the redox-active substance AuCl3 where we determined an associated doping-yield of (1.5±0.2)%. In addition, a statistical occupation model was developed which can be used to simulate the distribution of EPR active, i.e. unpaired and localised charge carriers on the nanotubes.
Finally, we investigated the charge transfer behaviour of (6,5)-SWNTs together with the polymer P3HT and the fullerene PC60BM after optical excitation.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging at field strengths up to 3 T, has become a default diagnostic modality for a variety of disorders and injuries, due to multiple reasons ranging from its non-invasive nature to the possibility of obtaining high resolution images of internal organs and soft tissues. Despite tremendous advances, MR imaging of certain anatomical regions and applications present specific challenges to be overcome. One such application is MR Musculo-Skeletal Imaging. This work addresses a few difficult areas within MSK imaging from the hardware perspective, with coil solutions for dynamic imaging of knee and high field imaging of hand.
Starting with a brief introduction to MR physics, different types of RF coils are introduced in chapter 1, followed by sections on design of birdcage coils, phased arrays and their characterization in chapter 2. Measurements, calculations and simulations, done during the course of this work, have been added to this chapter to give a quantitative feel of the concepts explained.
Chapter 3 deals with the construction of a phased array receiver for dynamic imaging of knee of a large animal model, i.e. minipig, at 1.5 T. Starting with details on the various aspects of an application that need to be considered when an MR RF array is designed, the chapter details the complex geometry of the region of interest in a minipig and reasons that necessitate a high density array. The sizes of the individual elements that constitute the array have been arrived at by studying the ratio of unloaded to loaded Q factors and choosing a size that provides the best ratio but still maintains a uniform SNR throughout the movement of the knee. To have a minimum weight and to allow mechanical movement of the knee, the Preamplifiers were located in a separate box. A movement device was constructed to achieve adjustable periodic movement of the knee of the anesthetized animal. The constructed array has been characterized for its SNR and compared with an existing product coil to show the improvement. The movement device was also characterized for its reproducibility. High resolution static images with anatomical details marked have been presented. The 1/g maps show the accelerations possible with the array. Snapshots of obtained dynamic images trace the cruciate ligaments through a cycle of movement of the animal's knee.
The hardware combination of a high density phased array and a movement device designed for a minipig's knee was used as a 'reference' and extended in chapter 4 for a human knee. In principle the challenges are similar for dynamic imaging of a human knee with regards to optimization of the elements, the associated electronics and the construction of the movement device. The size of the elements were optimized considering the field penetration / sensitivity required for the internal tissues. They were distributed around the curvature of the knee keeping in mind the acceleration required for dynamic imaging and the direction of the movement. The constructed movement device allows a periodic motion of the lower half of the leg, with the knee placed within the coil, enabling visualization of the tissues inside, while the leg is in motion. Imaging has been performed using dynamic interleaved acquisition sequence where higher effective TR and flip angles are achieved due to a combination of interleaving and segmentation of the sequence. The movement device has been characterized for its reproducibility while the SNR distribution of the constructed RF array has been compared with that of a commercially available standard 8 channel array. The results show the improvement in SNR and acceleration with the constructed geometry. High resolution static images, dynamic snapshots and the 3D segmentation of the obtained images prove the usefulness of the complete package provided in the design, for performing dynamic imaging at a clinically relevant field strength.
A simple study is performed in chapter 5 to understand the effects of changes in overlap for coil configurations with different loads and at different frequencies. The noise levels of individual channels and the correlation between them are plotted against subtle changes in overlap, at 64 and 123 MHz. SNR for every overlap setup is also measured and plotted. Results show that achieving critical overlap is crucial to obtain the best possible SNR in those coil setups where the load offered by the sample is low.
Chapter 6 of the thesis work deals with coil design for high field imaging of hand and wrists at 7 T, with an aim to achieve ultra high resolution imaging. At this field strength due to the increase in dielectric effects and the resulting decrease in homogeneity, whole body transmit coils are impractical and this has led engineers to design local transmit coils, for specific anatomies. While transmit or transceive arrays are usually preferred, to mitigate SAR effects, the spatial resolution obtained is limited. It is shown that a solution to this, with regards to hand imaging, can be a single volume transmit coil, along with high density receive arrays optimized for different regions of the hand. The use of a phased array for reception provides an increased SNR / penetration under high resolution. A volume transmit coil could pose issues in homogeneity at 7 T, but the specific anatomy of hand and wrist, with comparatively less water content, limits dielectric effects to have homogeneous B_1+ profile over the hand. To this effect, a bandpass birdcage and a 12 channel receive array are designed and characterized. Images of very high spatial resolution (0.16 x 0.16 x 0.16 mm3) with internal tissues marked are presented. In vivo 1/g maps show that an acceleration of up to 3 is possible and the EM simulation results presented show the uniform field along with SAR hotspots in the hand. To reduce the stress created due to the 'superman' position of imaging, provisions in the form of a holder and a hand rest have been designed and presented. Factors that contributed to the stability of the presented design are also listed, which would help future designs of receive arrays at high field strengths.
In conclusion, the coils and related hardware presented in this thesis address the following two aspects of MSK imaging: Dynamic imaging of knee and High resolution imaging of hand / wrist. The presented hardware addresses specific challenges and provides solutions. It is hoped that these designs are steps in the direction of improving the existing coils to get a better knowledge and understanding of MSK diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. The hardware can aid our study of ligament reconstruction and development. The high density array and transmit coil design for hand / wrist also demonstrates the benefits of the obtained SNR at 7 T while maintaining SAR within limits. This design is a contribution towards optimizing hardware at high field strength, to make it clinically acceptable and approved by regulatory bodies.
Single molecule localization microscopy has seen a remarkable growth since its first
experimental implementations about a decade ago. Despite its technical challenges,
it is already widely used in medicine and biology and is valued as a unique tool
to gain molecular information with high specificity. However, common illumination techniques do not allow the use of single molecule sensitive super-resolution
microscopy techniques such as direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy
(dSTORM) for whole cell imaging. In addition, they can potentially alter the
quantitative information.
In this thesis, I combine dSTORM imaging in three dimensions with lattice lightsheet illumination to gain quantitative molecular information from cells unperturbed by the illumination and cover slip effects. Lattice light-sheet illumination
uses optical lattices for beam shaping to restrict the illumination to the detectable
volume. I describe the theoretical background needed for both techniques and detail
the experimental realization of the system as well as the software that I developed
to efficiently evaluate the data.
Eventually, I will present key datasets that demonstrate the capabilities of the
developed microscope system with and without dSTORM. My main goal here was
to use these techniques for imaging the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM, also
known as CD56) in whole cells. NCAM is a plasma membrane receptor known to
play a key role in biological processes such as memory and learning. Combining
dSTORM and lattice light-sheet illumination enables the collection of quantitative
data of the distribution of molecules across the whole plasma membrane, and shows
an accumulation of NCAM at cell-cell interfaces. The low phototoxicity of lattice
light-sheet illumination further allows for tracking individual NCAM dimers in living cells, showing a significant dependence of its mobility on the actin skeleton of
the cell.
Conventional kiln drying of wood operates by the evaporation of water at elevated temperature. In the initial stage of drying, mobile water in the wood cell lumen evaporates. More slowly, water bound in the wood cell walls evaporates, requiring the breaking of hydrogen bonds between water molecules and cellulose and hemicellulose polymers in the cell wall. An alternative for wood kiln drying is a patented process for green wood dewatering through the molecular interaction of supercritical carbon dioxide with water of wood cell sap. When the system pressure is reduced to below the critical point, phase change from supercritical fluid to gas occurs with a consequent large change in CO2 volume. This results in the efficient, rapid, mechanical expulsion of liquid sap from wood. The end-point of this cyclical phase-change process is wood dewatered to the cell wall fibre saturation point. This paper describes dewatering over a range of green wood specimen sizes, from laboratory physical chemistry studies to pilot-plant trials. Magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were applied to study the fundamental mechanisms of the process, which were contrasted with similar studies of conventional thermal wood drying. In conclusion, opportunities and impediments towards the commercialisation of the green wood dewatering process are discussed.
In the past decades correlated-electron physics due to strong Coulomb interactions and topological physics caused by band inversion often induced by strong spin-orbit coupling have been the workhorses of solid state research.
While commonly considered as disparate phenomena, it was realized in the early 2010s that the interplay between the comparably strong Coulomb and spin-orbit interactions in the $5d$ transition metal oxides may result in hitherto unforeseen properties.
The layered perovskite Sr$\textsubscript{2}$IrO$\textsubscript{4}$ has attracted special attention due to the observation of an unconventional Mott-insulating phase and predictions of exotic superconductivity.
Less is known about its three-dimensional counterpart SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$, since rather than the cubic perovskite structure it adopts the thermodynamically stable hexagonal polymorph thereof.
This thesis therefore sets out to establish the synthesis of epitaxially stabilized perovskite SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ by pulsed laser deposition and to investigate its electronic and magnetic structure by state-of-the-art x-ray spectroscopy techniques.
In this endeavor the appropriate thermodynamic conditions for the growth of high-quality SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ are identified with a focus on the prevention of cation off-stoichiometry and the sustainment of layer-by-layer growth.
In the thus-optimized films the cubic perovskite symmetry is broken by a tetragonal distortion due to epitaxial strain and additional cooperative rotations of the IrO$\textsubscript{6}$ octahedra.
As a consequence of the thermodynamic instability of the IrO$\textsubscript{2}$ surface layer, the films unexpectedly undergo a conversion to a SrO termination during growth.
In an attempt to disentangle the interplay between spin-orbit and Coulomb interaction the three-dimensional electronic structure of perovskite SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ is investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical approach using soft x-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and \textit{ab initio} density functional theory calculations.
The experimentally found metallic ground state hosts coherent quasiparticle peaks with a well-defined Fermi surface and is theoretically described by a single half-filled band with effective total angular momentum $J_\text{eff} = 1/2$ only upon incorporation of a sizeable local Coulomb repulsion and -- to a lesser extent -- the broken cubic crystal symmetry in the film.
Upon reduction of the SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ thickness below a threshold of four unit cells the scales are tipped in favor of a Mott-insulating phase as the on-site Coulomb repulsion surmounts the diminishing kinetic energy upon transition into the two-dimensional regime.
Concomitantly, a structural transition occurs because the corner-shared octahedral network between substrate and film imposes constraints upon the IrO$\textsubscript{6}$ octahedral rotations in the thin-film limit.
The striking similarity between the quasi-two-dimensional spin-orbit-induced Mott insulator Sr$\textsubscript{2}$IrO$\textsubscript{4}$ and SrO-terminated SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ in the monolayer limit underlines the importance of dimensionality for the metal-insulator transition and possibly opens a new avenue towards the realization of exotic superconductivity in iridate compounds.
Whether the analogy between SrIrO$\textsubscript{3}$ in the two-dimensional limit and its Ruddlesden-Popper bulk counterparts extends to their complex magnetic properties ultimately remains an open question, although no indications for a remanent (anti)ferromagnetic order were found.
The unprecedented observation of an x-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the O~$K$-absorption edge of iridium oxides in an external magnetic field promises deeper insights into the intricate connection between the $J_\text{eff} = 1/2$ pseudospin state, its hybridization with the oxygen ligand states and the magnetic order found in the Ruddlesden-Popper iridates.
This longitudinal study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of detecting the interaction between wall shear stress (WSS) and plaque development. 20 ApoE\(^{-/-}\)mice were separated in 12 mice with Western Diet and 8 mice with Chow Diet. Magnetic resonance (MR) scans at 17.6 Tesla and histological analysis were performed after one week, eight and twelve weeks. Allin vivoMR measurements were acquired using a flow sensitive phase contrast method for determining vectorial flow. Histological sections were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Elastica van Gieson and CD68 staining. Data analysis was performed using Ensight and a Matlab-based "Flow Tool". The body weight of ApoE\(^{-/-}\)mice increased significantly over 12 weeks. WSS values increased in the Western Diet group over the time period; in contrast, in the Chow Diet group the values decreased from the first to the second measurement point. Western Diet mice showed small plaque formations with elastin fragmentations after 8 weeks and big plaque formations after 12 weeks; Chow Diet mice showed a few elastin fragmentations after 8 weeks and small plaque formations after 12 weeks. Favored by high-fat diet, plaque formation results in higher values of WSS. With wall shear stress being a known predictor for atherosclerotic plaque development, ultra highfield MRI can serve as a tool for studying the causes and beginnings of atherosclerosis.
A current challenge in condensed matter physics is the realization of strongly correlated, viscous electron fluids. These fluids can be described by holography, that is, by mapping them onto a weakly curved gravitational theory via gauge/gravity duality. The canonical system considered for realizations has been graphene. In this work, we show that Kagome systems with electron fillings adjusted to the Dirac nodes provide a much more compelling platform for realizations of viscous electron fluids, including non-linear effects such as turbulence. In particular, we find that in Scandium Herbertsmithite, the fine-structure constant, which measures the effective Coulomb interaction, is enhanced by a factor of about 3.2 as compared to graphene. We employ holography to estimate the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density in Sc-Herbertsmithite, and find it about three times smaller than in graphene. These findings put the turbulent flow regime described by holography within the reach of experiments. Viscous electron fluids are predicted in strongly correlated systems but remain challenging to realize. Here, the authors predict enhanced effective Coulomb interaction and reduced ratio of the shear viscosity over entropy density in a Kagome metal, inferring turbulent flow of viscous electron fluids.
Elementary building blocks for quantum repeaters based on fiber channels and memory stations are analyzed. Implementations are considered for three different physical platforms, for which suitable components are available: quantum dots, trapped atoms and ions, and color centers in diamond. The performances of basic quantum repeater links for these platforms are evaluated and compared, both for present‐day, state‐of‐the‐art experimental parameters as well as for parameters that can in principle be reached in the future. The ultimate goal is to experimentally explore regimes at intermediate distances—up to a few 100 km—in which the repeater‐assisted secret key transmission rates exceed the maximal rate achievable via direct transmission. Two different protocols are considered, one of which is better adapted to the higher source clock rate and lower memory coherence time of the quantum dot platform, while the other circumvents the need of writing photonic quantum states into the memories in a heralded, nondestructive fashion. The elementary building blocks and protocols can be connected in a modular form to construct a quantum repeater system that is potentially scalable to large distances.
Since the discovery of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in the magnetically doped topological insulators (MTI) Cr:(Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\) and V:(Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\), the search for the magnetic coupling mechanisms underlying the onset of ferromagnetism has been a central issue, and a variety of different scenarios have been put forward. By combining resonant photoemission, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and density functional theory, we determine the local electronic and magnetic configurations of V and Cr impurities in (Bi,Sb)\(_2\)Te\(_3\). State-of-the-art first-principles calculations find pronounced differences in their 3d densities of states, and show how these impurity states mediate characteristic short-range pd exchange interactions, whose strength sensitively varies with the position of the 3d states relative to the Fermi level. Measurements on films with varying host stoichiometry support this trend. Our results explain, in an unified picture, the origins of the observed magnetic properties, and establish the essential role of impurity-state-mediated exchange interactions in the magnetism of MTI.
In organic thin‐film transistors (TFTs) fabricated in the inverted (bottom‐gate) device structure, the surface roughness of the gate dielectric onto which the organic‐semiconductor layer is deposited is expected to have a significant effect on the TFT characteristics. To quantitatively evaluate this effect, a method to tune the surface roughness of a gate dielectric consisting of a thin layer of aluminum oxide and an alkylphosphonic acid self‐assembled monolayer over a wide range by controlling a single process parameter, namely the substrate temperature during the deposition of the aluminum gate electrodes, is developed. All other process parameters remain constant in the experiments, so that any differences observed in the TFT performance can be confidently ascribed to effects related to the difference in the gate‐dielectric surface roughness. It is found that an increase in surface roughness leads to a significant decrease in the effective charge‐carrier mobility and an increase in the subthreshold swing. It is shown that a larger gate‐dielectric surface roughness leads to a larger density of grain boundaries in the semiconductor layer, which in turn produces a larger density of localized trap states in the semiconductor.
Unlike the conventional p‐doping of organic semiconductors (OSCs) using acceptors, here, an efficient doping concept for diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based polymer PDPP[T]\(_{2}\)‐EDOT (OSC‐1) is presented using an oxidized p‐type semiconductor, Spiro‐OMeTAD(TFSI)\(_{2}\) (OSC‐2), exploiting electron transfer from HOMO\(_{OSC-1}\) to HOMO\(_{OSC-2}\). A shift of work function toward the HOMO\(_{OSC-1}\) upon doping is confirmed by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Detailed X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–vis–NIR absorption studies confirm HOMO\(_{OSC-1}\) to HOMO\(_{OSC-2}\) electron transfer. The reduction products of Spiro‐OMeTAD(TFSI)\(_{2}\) to Spiro‐OMeTAD(TFSI) and Spiro‐OMeTAD is also confirmed and their relative amounts in doped samples is determined. Mott–Schottky analysis shows two orders of magnitude increase in free charge carrier density and one order of magnitude increase in the charge carrier mobility. The conductivity increases considerably by four orders of magnitude to a maximum of 10 S m\(^{-1}\) for a very low doping ratio of 8 mol%. The doped polymer films exhibit high thermal and ambient stability resulting in a maximum power factor of 0.07 µW m\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-2}\) at a Seebeck coefficient of 140 µV K\(^{-1}\) for a very low doping ratio of 4 mol%. Also, the concept of HOMO\(_{OSC-1}\) to HOMO\(_{OSC-2}\) electron transfer is a highly efficient, stable and generic way to p‐dope other conjugated polymers.
Spinning black holes in the centres of galaxies can release powerful magnetised jets. When the jets are observed at angles of less than a few degrees to the line-of-sight, they are called blazars, showing variable non-thermal emission across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays. It is commonly believed that shock waves are responsible for this dissipation of jet energy. Here we show that gamma-ray observations of the blazar 3C 279 with the space-borne telescope Fermi-LAT reveal a characteristic peak-in-peak variability pattern on time scales of minutes expected if the particle acceleration is instead due to relativistic magnetic reconnection. The absence of gamma-ray pair attenuation shows that particle acceleration takes place at a distance of ten thousand gravitational radii from the black hole where the fluid dynamical kink instability drives plasma turbulence.
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.
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.
Main focus of the present dissertation was to gain new insight about the interaction between magnetic ions and the conduction band of diluted magnetic semiconductors. This interaction in magnetic semiconductors with carrier concentrations near the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in an external magnetic field is barely researched. Hence, n-doped Zn1−xMnxSe:Cl samples were studied.
Resonant Raman spectroscopy was employed at an external magnetic field between 1T and 7T and a temperature of 1.5K.
The resulting magnetization of the material amplifies the splitting of states with opposite spins both in the valence and the conduction band. This is known as the "giant-Zeeman-effect".
In this thesis, the resonance of the electron spin flip process, i.e. the enhancement of the signal depending on the excitation energy, was used as an indicator to determine the density of states of the charge carriers. The measured resonance profiles of each sample showed a structure, which consist of two partially overlapping Gaussian curves. The analysis of the Gaussian curves revealed that their respective maxima are separated independent of the magnetic field strenght by about 5 meV, which matches the binding energy of the donor bound exciton (D0, X).
A widening of the full width at half maximum of the resonance profile was observed with increasing magnetic field. A detailed analysis of this behavior showed that the donor bound exciton spin flip resonance primarily accounts for the widening for all samples with doping concentrations below the metal insulator transition. A model was proposed for the interpretation of this observation.
This is based on the fundamental assumptions of a spatially random distribution of the manganese ions on the group-II sublattice of the ZnSe crystal and the finite extension of the excitons. Thus, each exciton covers an individual quantity of manganese ions, which manifest as a local manganese concentration. This local manganese concentration is normally distributed for a set of excitons and hence, the evaluation of the distribution allows the determination of exciton radii
Two trends were identified for the (D0, X) radii. The radius of the bound exciton decreases with increasing carrier concentration as well as with increasing manganese concentration. The determination of the (D0, X) radii by the use of resonant spin flip Raman spectroscopy and also the observation of the behavior of the (D0, X) radius depending on the carrier concentration, was achieved for the first time.
For all samples with carrier concentrations below the metal-insulator transition, the obtained (X0) radii are up to a factor of 5.9 larger than the respective (D0, X) radii. This observation is explained by the unbound character of the (X0).
For the first time, such an observation could be made by Raman spectroscopy.Beside the resonance studies, the shape of the Raman signal of the electron spin flip was analyzed. Thereby an obvious asymmetry of the signal, with a clear flank to lower Raman shifts, was observed. This asymmetry is most pronounced, when the spin flip process is excited near the (D0, X) resonance.
To explain this observation, a theoretical model was introduced in this thesis. Based on the asymmetry of the resonantly excited spin flip signal, it was possible to estimate the (D0, X) radii, too. At external magnetic fields between 1.25T and 7T, the obtained radii lie between 2.38nm and 2.75nm.
Additionally, the asymmetry of the electron spin flip signal was observed at different excitation energies. Here it is striking that the asymmetry vanishes with increasing excitation energy. At the highest excitation energy, where the electron spin flip was still detectable, the estimated radius of the exciton is 3.92nm.
Beside the observations on the electron spin flip, the resonance behavior of the spin flip processes in the d-shell of the incorporated Mn ions was studied in this thesis. This was performed for the direct Mn spin flip process as well as for the sum process of the longitudinal optical phonon with the Mn spin flip. For the Stokes and anti-Stokes direct spin flip process and for the Stokes sum process, each the resonance curve is described by considering only one resonance mechanism. In contrast, resonance for the sum process in which an anti-Stokes Mn spin flip is involved, consists of two partially overlapping resonances due to different mechanisms. A detailed analysis of this resonance profile showed that for (Zn,Mn)Se at the chosen experimental parameters, an
incoming and outgoing resonance can be achieved, separated by a few meV.
Hereby, at a specific excitation energy range and a high excitation power, it was possible to achieve an inversion of the anti-Stokes to Stokes intensity, because only the anti-Stokes Mn spin flip process was enhanced resonantly.
Space- and time-resolved UV-to-NIR surface spectroscopy and 2D nanoscopy at 1 MHz repetition rate
(2019)
We describe a setup for time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (TRPEEM) with aberration correction enabling 3 nm spatial resolution and sub-20 fs temporal resolution. The latter is realized by our development of a widely tunable (215–970 nm) noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) at 1 MHz repetition rate. We discuss several exemplary applications. Efficient photoemission from plasmonic Au nanoresonators is investigated with phase-coherent pulse pairs from an actively stabilized interferometer. More complex excitation fields are created with a liquid-crystal-based pulse shaper enabling amplitude and phase shaping of NOPA pulses with spectral components from 600 to 800 nm. With this system we demonstrate spectroscopy within a single plasmonic nanoslit resonator by spectral amplitude shaping and investigate the local field dynamics with coherent two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy at the nanometer length scale (“2D nanoscopy”). We show that the local response varies across a distance as small as 33 nm in our sample. Further, we report two-color pump–probe experiments using two independent NOPA beamlines. We extract local variations of the excited-state dynamics of a monolayered 2D material (WSe2) that we correlate with low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and reflectivity (LEER) measurements. Finally, we demonstrate the in-situ sample preparation capabilities for organic thin films and their characterization via spatially resolved electron diffraction and dark-field LEEM.
Perovskite oxides are a very versatile material class with a large variety of outstanding physical properties.
A subgroup of these compounds particularly tempting to investigate are oxides involving high-\(Z\) elements, where spin-orbit coupling is expected to give rise to new intriguing phases and potential application-relevant functionalities. This thesis deals with the preparation and characterization of two representatives of high-\(Z\) oxide sample systems based on KTaO\(_3\) and BaBiO\(_3\).
KTaO\(_3\) is a band insulator with an electronic valence configuration of Ta 5\(d\)\(^0\) . It is shown that by pulsed laser deposition of a disordered LaAlO\(_3\) film on the KTaO\(_3\)(001) surface, through the creation of oxygen vacancies, a Ta 5\(d\)\(^{0+\(\delta\)}\) state is obtained in the upmost crystal layers of the substrate. In consequence a quasi two dimensional electron system (q2DES) with large spin-orbit coupling emerges at the heterointerface. Measurements of the Hall effect establish sheet carrier densities in the range of 0.1-1.2 10\(^{14}\) cm\(^2\), which can be controlled by the applied oxygen background pressure during deposition and the LaAlO\(_3\) film thickness. When compared to the prototypical oxide q2DESs based on SrTiO\(_3\) crystals, the investigated system exhibits exceptionally large carrier mobilities of up to 30 cm\(^2\)/Vs (7000 cm\(^2\)/Vs) at room temperature (below 10 K). Through a depth profiling by photoemission spectra of the Ta 4\(f\) core level it is shown that the majority of the Ta 5\(d\)\(^0\) charge carriers, consisting of mobile and localized electrons, is situated within 4 nm from the interface at low temperatures. Furthermore, the momentum-resolved electronic structure of the q2DES \(buried\) underneath the LaAlO\(_3\) film is probed by means of hard X-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. It is inferred that, due to a strong confinement potential of the electrons, the band structure of the system is altered compared to \(n\)-doped bulk KTO. Despite the constraint of the electron movement along one direction, the Fermi surface exhibits a clear three dimensional momentum dependence, which is related to a depth extension of the conduction channels of at least 1 nm.
The second material, BaBiO\(_3\), is a charge-ordered insulator, which has recently been predicted to emerge as a large-gap topological insulator upon \(n\)-doping. This study reports on the thin film growth of pristine BaBiO\(_3\) on Nb:SrTiO\(_3\)(001) substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition. The mechanism is identified that facilitates the development of epitaxial order in the heterostructure despite the presence of an extraordinary large lattice mismatch of 12 %. At the heterointerface, a structurally modified layer of about 1.7 nm thickness is formed that gradually relieves the in-plane strain and serves as the foundation of a relaxed BBO film. The thereupon formed lattice orders laterally in registry with the substrate with the orientation BaBiO\(_3\)(001)||SrTiO\(_3\)(001) by so-called domain matching, where 8 to 9 BaBiO\(_3\) unit cells align with 9 to 10 unit cells of the substrate. Through the optimization of the deposition conditions in regard to the cation stoichiometry and the structural lattice quality, BaBiO\(_3\) thin films with bulk-like electronic properties are obtained, as is inferred from a comparison of valence band spectra with density functional theory calculations. Finally, a spectroscopic survey of BaBiO\(_3\) samples of various thicknesses resolves that a recently discovered film thickness-controlled phase transition in BaBiO\(_3\) thin films can be traced back to the structural and concurrent stoichiometric modifications occuring in the initially formed lattice on top of the SrTiO\(_3\) substrate rather than being purely driven by the smaller spatial extent of the BBO lattice.
This work deals with the development and application of novel quantum Monte Carlo methods to simulate fermion-boson models. Our developments are based on the path-integral formalism, where the bosonic degrees of freedom are integrated out exactly to obtain a retarded fermionic interaction. We give an overview of three methods that can be used to simulate retarded interactions. In particular, we develop a novel quantum Monte Carlo method with global directed-loop updates that solves the autocorrelation problem of previous approaches and scales linearly with system size. We demonstrate its efficiency for the Peierls transition in the Holstein model and discuss extensions to other fermion-boson models as well as spin-boson models. Furthermore, we show how with the help of generating functionals bosonic observables can be recovered directly from the Monte Carlo configurations. This includes estimators for the boson propagator, the fidelity susceptibility, and the specific heat of the Holstein model. The algorithmic developments of this work allow us to study the specific heat of the spinless Holstein model covering its entire parameter range. Its key features are explained from the single-particle spectral functions of electrons and phonons. In the adiabatic limit, the spectral properties are calculated exactly as a function of temperature using a classical Monte Carlo method and compared to results for the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.
This thesis describes the growth and characterization of both the all-oxide heterostructure
Fe3O4/ZnO and the spin-orbit coupling driven layered perovskite iridates.
As for Fe3O4/ZnO, the 100% spin-polarized Fe3O4 is a promising spin electrode candidate
for spintronic devices. However, the single crystalline ZnO substrates exhibit different polar surface termination which, together with substrate preparation method, can drastically affect the physical properties of Fe3O4/ZnO heterostructures. In this thesis two different methods of substrate preparation were investigated: a previously used in situ method involving sputtering and annealing treatments and a recent ex situ method containing only the annealing procedure. For the latter, the annealing treatment was performed in dry and humid O2 gas flow for the O- and Zn-terminated substrates, respectively, to produce atomically at surfaces as verified by atomic force microscopy(AFM). With these methods, four different ZnO substrates were fabricated and used further for Fe3O4 film growth. Fe3O4 films of 20 nm thickness were successfully grown by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. AFM measurements reveal a higher film surface roughness for the samples with in situ prepared substrates. Moreover, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements indicate significant Zn substitution within the Fe3O4 film for these samples, whereas the samples with ex situ prepared substrates show stoichiometric Fe3O4 films. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the observations from XPS, revealing additional peaks due to Zn substitution in Fe3O4 films grown on in situ prepared ZnO substrates. Conductivity, as well as magnetometry, measurements show the presence of Zn-doped ferrites in films grown on in situ prepared substrates. Such unintentionally intercalated Zn-doped ferrites dramatically change the electrical and magnetic properties of the films and, therefore, are not preferred in a high-quality heterostructure.
X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements show for the film grown on ex situ prepared Zn-terminated substrate a variation of film density close to the interface which is also confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Using polarized neutron reflectometry, magnetic depth profiles of the films grown on ex situ prepared substrates clearly indicate Fe3O4 layers with reduced magnetization at the interfaces. This result is consistent with earlier observations made by resonant magnetic X-ray reflectometry (RMXR), but in contrast to the findings from XRR and TEM of this thesis. A detailed TEM study of all four samples shows that the sample with ex situ prepared O-terminated substrate has the sharpest interface, whereas those with ex situ prepared Zn-terminated as well as in situ prepared substrates indicate rougher interfaces. STEM-EELS composition profiles of the samples reveal the Zn substitution in the films with in situ prepared substrates and therefore confirm the presence of Zn-doped ferrites. Moreover, a change of the Fe oxidation state of the first Fe layer at the interface which was observed in previous studies done by RMXR, was not verified for the samples with in situ prepared substrates thus leaving the question of a possible presence of the magnetically dead layer open. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations were performed to determine the termination dependent layer sequences which are ...-Zn-O-(interface)-[Fe(octa)-O-Fe(tetra)-Fe(octa)-Fe(tetra)-O]-[...]-... and ...-O-Zn-(interface)-[O-Fe(octa)-O-Fe(tetra)-Fe(octa)-Fe(tetra)]-[...]-... for the samples with O- and Zn-terminated substrates, respectively. Spin density calculations show that in case of O-termination the topmost substrate layers imitate the spin polarization of film layers close to the interface. Here, the first O layer is affected much stronger than the first Zn layer. Due to the strong decrease of this effect toward deeper substrate layers, the substrate surface is supposed to be sensitive to the contiguous spin polarization of the film. Thus, the topmost O layer of the O-terminated substrate could play the most essential role for effective spin injection into ZnO.
The 5d transition metal oxides Ba2IrO4 (BIO) and Sr2IrO4 (SIO) are associated with the Ruddlesden-Popper iridate series with phase type "214" (RP{214), and due to the strong spin-orbit coupling belong to the class of Mott insulators. Moreover, they show many similarities of the isostructural high Tc-cuprate superconductors, e.g. crystal structure, magnetism and electronic band structure. Therefore, it is of great interest to activate a potential superconducting phase in (RP{214) iridates. However, only a small number of publications on PLD grown (RP{214) iridates in the literature exists. Furthermore, published data of soft X-ray angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) experiments mainly originate from measurements which were performed on single crystals or MBE grown films of SIO and BIO. In this thesis La-doped SIO films (La0:2Sr1:8IrO4, further referred as LSIO) were used to pursue a potential superconducting phase.
A set of characterization methods was used to analyze the quality of the PLD grown BIO, SIO and LSIO films. AFM measurements demonstrate that thick PLD grown(RP{214) iridate films have rougher surfaces, indicating a transition from a 2D layer-bylayer growth (which is demonstrated by RHEED oscillations) to a 3D island-like growth mode. In addition, chemical depth profiling XPS measurements indicate an increase of the O and Ir relative concentrations in the topmost film layers. Constant energy k-space maps and energy distribution curves (EDCs) measured by SX-ARPES show for every grown film only weak energy band dispersions, which are in strong contrast to the results obtained on the MBE grown films and single crystals from the literature. In this thesis,
a subsequent TEM study reveals missing SrO layers within the grown films which occur mainly in the topmost layers, confirming the results and suggestions from XPS and SX-ARPES data: the PLD grown films have defects and, therefore, incoherently scatter photoelectrons. Nevertheless, the LSIO film shows small additional spectral weight between the highsymmetry M points close to the Fermi level which can be attributed to quasiparticle states which, in turn, indicates the formation of a Fermi-arc. However, neither conductivity measurements nor valence band analysis via XPS confirm an activation of a superconducting phase or presence of spectral weight of quasiparticle states at the Fermi level in this LSIO film.
It is possible that these discovered difficulties in growth are responsible for the low number of SX-ARPES publications on PLD grown (RP{214) iridate films. For further investigations of (RP{214) iridate films by SX-ARPES, their PLD growth recipes have to be improved to create high quality single crystalline films without imperfections.
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.
