The aim of this thesis is to get a deeper understanding of magnetic properties of small clusters when they are embedded in a host material. The study was motivated by the observation of the very peculiar properties that clusters present in the gas phase or ...
Developments towards an understanding of the nature of conductance at the interface between two different metallic layers – ferromagnetic and non magnetic – as well as the discovery of giant magnetoresistance have stirred attention from both the scientific ...
The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
The phenomenon of magnetism is one of the key components of today's technological progress. Magnetic interactions and magnetic materials are essential for the scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology, making this subject truly multidiscipli ...
The aim of this thesis work is to study the spin-dependent transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). To do so, the electrical resistance of MWNT contacted between ferromagnetic electrodes has been measured, as a function of the contacts magnetic co ...
Conventional Hall devices are widely employed to measure magnetic fields produced by millimetre sized (or larger) current-caring conductors or permanent magnets with a standard active area of about (100 um)^2. Micro-Hall sensors have recently emerged as a ...
Patterned magnetic thin films are of interest due to the potential for new technological applications and also because of their modified physical behaviour as the lateral dimensions are reduced. The functionality of patterned films can be intelligently des ...
Spin-dependent transport in granular metallic nanostructures has been investigated by means of a thermoelectric measurement. Cobalt clusters of well-defined size ( = 15 and 600), embedded in copper and silver matrices, show magnetic field responses of u ...
Tailored nonmagnetic semiconductor-metal hybrid structures exhibit a large magnetoresistance effect in a homogeneous magnetic field. This is the so-called extraordinary magnetoresistance effect. Here, we study numerically the magnetoresistance of such hybr ...
The spin-dependent transport in multiwall carbon nanotubes, obtained by chemical vapour deposition in porous alumina membranes, has been investigated. The zero-bias anomaly is shown to follow the typical power law GT(-alpha) (eV/kT). In the nanotubes conta ...
