Förstaårsstudenters och lärares förhållningssätt till laborationer i fysik
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Laborationer används som ett närmast självklart inslag på naturvetenskapliga utbildningar. Mål och syften med laborationer kan skifta mellan olika kurser och är inte alltid uppenbara för studenterna (Hart et al., 2000; Russell & Weaver, 2008). Ofta förväntas de lära sig hantering av utrustning, tolkning av data och rapportskrivning, samtidigt som de ska få bättre förståelse för teorin genom att seJohan Larsson undersökte 2012 hur hans studenter på tekniskt-naturvetenskapligt basår (högskoleförberedande) värderade olika undervisningsformer. Laborationer fick då sämst betyg. För att undersöka möjliga orsaker till detta tog vi initiativ till en fenomenografisk studie (Marton, 1981) av attityder till fysiklaborationer. Skriftliga enkätsvar samlades in från 38 förstaårsstudenter på kandidatprogrammet i fysik vid Uppsala universitet. Den öppna enkätfrågan inspirerades av en amerikansk studiebesvarades även av 18 anonyma lärare på Institutionen för fysik och astronomi. Både lärare och studenter har skrivit långa svar som vi kategoriserat fenomenografiskt, det vill säga vi har kartlagt förekomsten av attityder.Det finns tydliga nivåer av progression; från ett distanserat, ointresserat förhållningssätt till en nivå där man har en uppfattning om framtida behov. Studien visar inte på några större skillnader mellan lärarnas och studenternas syn. Laborationer förväntas koppla teori till praktik samt ge tillfälle att träna på instrumenthantering och vetenskapligt arbetssätt. Några nämner också att laborationer ökar deras förståelse och lärande, ger social träning och förbereder dem för ett kommande arbetsliv.Vår avsikt är att använda resultaten för att öka laborationernas upplevda värde, genom att uppmärksamma kollegor på de förekommande förhållningssätten och tillsammans förbereda oss för att bemöta dem. Frågor som vi vill diskutera är t.ex.: Vill vi att studenterna ska tycka så här?Hur speglar våra laborationsinstruktioner det vi vill att studenterna ska lära sig? Hur kommunicerar vi mål och syften med varje laboration på bästa sätt?Hart C., Mulhall, P., Berry, A., Loughran, J., & Gunstone, R. (2000). What is the purpose of this experiment? Or can students learn something from doing experiments? Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 37(7), 655-675. Marton, F. (1981). Phenomenography Describing conceptions of the world around us.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Fe65Co35 thin films have been deposited on SiO2 substrates using sputtering technique with different choices of seed layer; Ru, Ni82.5Fe17.5, Rh, Y and Zr. Best soft magnetic properties were observed with seed layers of Ru, Ni82.5Fe17.5 and Rh. Adding these seed layers, the coercivity of the Fe65Co35 films decreased to values of around 1.5 mT, which can be compared to the value of 12.5 mT obtained for films deposited without seed layer. Further investigations were performed on samples with these three seed layers in terms of dynamic magnetic properties, both on as prepared and annealed samples, using constant frequency cavity and broadband ferromagnetic resonance measurements. Damping parameters of around 8.0X10-3 and 4.5X10-3 were obtained from in-plane and out-of-plane measurements, respectively, for as prepared samples, values that were reduced to 6.5X10-3 and 4.0X10-3 for annealed samples.

The interaction of hydrogen with metallic glass
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Combining theoretical ab initio calculations with high-purity thin film sample synthesis and in situ measurements is a compelling way to bridge the gap in our understanding concerning hydrogen in metallic glasses, which is the primary work of this dissertation thesis. The main emphasis has been on how hydrogen affects the structure of metallic glasses, and how those changes influence not only the electronic properties of the amorphous metals but also their thermal stability. The real-space correlations in the form of the pair distribution functions in thin metallic films have primarily only been accessible through synchrotron radiation. An effective methodological procedure using laboratory-based x-ray sources is here brought forth, which, for the first time, can produce accessible and accurate pair distribution functions from thin films down to a thickness of 80 nm. The underpinning mechanisms behind the hydrogen-induced volume expansion of metallic glasses in the form of the dipole force tensor and an elastic hydrogen-hydrogen interaction were examined using in situ neutron reflectometry and first-principles calculations of expanding V80Zr20 amorphous structures. The dipole force tensor was concluded to be similar in magnitude to a mole-fraction-weighted sum of the ones found in hydrogen-contained vanadium and zirconium crystals, and the theoretical calculations demonstrated that it and the interaction energy varies with hydrogen concentration. The electronic structure of the metallic glass V80Zr20 was determined via hard x-ray photoemission spectrometry and confirmed by first-principles calculations to be modified by the presence of hydrogen, in which a collection of s-d hybridized states 7 eV below the Fermi level was formed. The changes closer to the Fermi level, together with the volume expansion, were via experiments and ab initio calculations established to cause a parabolic change in resistance and a strong wavelength dependence on the optical transmission. The thermal stability of amorphous VxZr1-x metals, investigated via ab initio calculations of the thermodynamic driving force towards crystallization, was found to affirm the observed hydrogen-induced enhancement in thermal stability.

Dynamics in magnetic metamaterials
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Metamaterials are artificially created structures with properties that are not found in nature. They can be tailored to achieve desired response to external excitations such as external electric and magnetic fields, as well as to enhance materials’ optical or magnetic activity. Magnetic metamaterials comprised of arrays of sub-micrometer sized magnetic elements, can be used for a range of different applications, such as magnonic crystals and building blocks for magnetic memory elements.In this work, pathways for tuning magnetization dynamics are explored. Different magnetic metamaterials containing arrays of sub-micrometer sized elements, refered to as nanomagnets, were used as model systems for these explorations. The nano-magnets comrising these arrays are of two kinds: XY-rotors, with a magnetization direction rotating freely in-plane of a disk, and Ising-like spins, pointing along either of the two allowed magnetization directions. The Ising-like spins can be realized in either in-plane or out-of-plane magnetized materials.Collective magnetization dynamics were investigated in square arrays of coupled nanomagnets. Studies revealed that nanomagnet’s magnetization state cannot always be approximated by a ridig mesospin approximation. Instead, it was demonstrated that upon an external perturbation, such as an external magnetic or thermal field, internal magnetization experience texture excitations. The observed texture excitations have implications on the nanomagnet coupling in an array.Arrays, where collective phenomena emerge via excited plasmon resonances, were used for investigations of light-induced dynamics processes. Studies revealed importance of an array design for the observation of magneto-optical activity enhancement and more eÿcient ultrafast magnetization dynamics. It was reported that in arrays containing truncated Au nanocones with TbCo tip, enhancement of TbCo demagnetization can be achieved via resonant light illumination.Utilizing the array concept and magnetic anisotropy of a material, it is possible to create metamaterials, where a range of magnetization dynamics regimes can be investigated. Inter-element spacing defines on which lengthscale the nanomagnets will be coupled and which effects can be utilized for tuning system’s magneto-optical response and excited magnetization dynamics.

Magnetic and all-optical switching properties of amorphous TbxCo100-x alloys

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Amorphous TbxCo100-x magnetic alloys exhibit a list of intriguing properties, such as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, high magneto-optical activity, and magnetization switching using ultrashort optical pulses. Varying the Tb:Co ratio in these alloys allows for tuning properties such as the saturation magnetic moment, coercive field, and the performance of light-induced magnetization switching. In this paper, we investigate the magnetic, optical, and magneto-optical properties of various TbxCo100-x thin-film alloy compositions. We report on the effect the choice of different seeding layers has on the structural and magnetic properties of TbxCo100-x layers. We also demonstrate that for a range of alloys, deposited on fused silica substrates, with Tb content of 24-30 at. %, helicity-dependent all-optical switching of magnetization can be achieved, albeit in a multishot framework. We explain this property to arise from the helicity-dependent laser-induced magnetization on the Co sublattice due to the inverse Faraday effect. Our paper provides an insight into material aspects for future potential hybrid magnetoplasmonic TbCo-based architectures.

Composition, structure and magnetic properties of ultra-thin Fe/Ni multilayers sputter deposited on epitaxial Cu/Si(001)

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sputter deposited symmetric multilayers of (n Fe)/(n Ni), with individual thicknesses from n = 4 to n = 48 monolayers (ML), were deposited on epitaxial Cu/Si(001), and their microstructural evolution and magnetic properties versus n have been studied. Elemental layering can be seen with transmission electron microscopy down to n = 4 ML layer thickness, although an intermixed region characterized by a finite interface width is found to be present. This width is composed of the interface roughness as well as the interdiffusion between layers, but the relative contributions from these two sources could not be concluded by the techniques used. The measured elemental layering and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) give an upper limit to the interface width which must be smaller than the thinnest layers, 4 ML. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), depth profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and also XRR reveal that Fe has a higher tendency to mix with Ni than vice versa. XPS does not have the resolution to measure this thin elemental layering: composition variations for n = 8 ML which are clearly seen by EELS are barely resolved by XPS. The structure was determined by X-ray diffraction, and an epitaxial fcc (001) structure is found to be maintained throughout the multilayers up to n less than or similar to 8 ML. For larger n values, relaxation starts by Fe-fcc(001) layers changing into Fe-bcc(110), which is then followed by Ni-fcc(001) changing from (001) to (111) orientation along the growth direction. A decreased total measured magnetic moment for the fully epitaxial multilayers can be explained by the fcc Fe layers being partly anti-ferromagnetic, whereas the relaxed multilayers exhibit the expected magnetic properties of (bcc Fe) +(fcc Ni).

Magnetic and structural characterization of CoFeZr thin films grown by combinatorial sputtering
- 2019

Ingår i: Physical Review Materials. - 2475-9953. ; 3:7
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on a detailed investigation of structural and magnetic properties of thin CoFeZr films, produced by combinatorial cosputtering, with compositions in the ranges 30-85 at.% Co, 12-63 at.% Fe, and 4-8 at.% Zr. Extended x-ray absorption fine structure and x-ray diffraction measurements reveal that alloys with a Zr content below 5 at.% are polycrystalline with a bcc structure, while an amorphous morphology is stabilized at Zr contents above 6 at.%. All samples display a growth-induced in-plane uniaxial anisotropy, which is closely related to the Zr concentration gradients across the wafers. A model for the angular dependence of the reduced remanence, including a Gaussian distribution of easy/hard anisotropy axes, is presented and successfully used to fit the data for all samples. The magnetic moments of the polycrystalline films approximately follow the Slater-Pauling curve, and the magnetic moments of the amorphous films follow a similar trend, but with about 20 % lower values. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements show, for the amorphous films, that the Co moments are virtually constant at 1.7(2)μB/atom.

Strain Engineering for Controlled Growth of Thin-Film FeNi L10
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics D. - : IOP Publishing. - 0022-3727 .- 1361-6463. ; 50:8

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- FeNi thin films in the L1(0) phase were successfully grown by magnetron sputtering on HF-etched Si(001) substrates on Cu/Cu100-xNix buffers. The strain of the FeNi layer, (c/a)(FeNi), was varied in a controlled manner by changing the Ni content of the Cu100-xNix buffer layer from x = 0 at.% to x = 90 at.%, which influenced the common in- plane lattice parameter of the CuNi and FeNi layers. The presence of the L1(0) phase was confirmed by resonant x-ray diffraction measurements at various positions in reciprocal space. The uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy K-U is observed to be smaller (around 0.35 MJ m(-3)) than predicted for a perfect FeNi L1(0) sample, but it is larger than for previously studied films. No notable variation in K-U with strain state (c/a)(FeNi) is observed in the range achieved (0.99 less than or similar to (c/a)(FeNi) less than or similar to 1.02), which is in agreement with theoretical predictions.
