▼ How do the magnetic fields of massive stars evolve over time? Are their gyrochronological ages consistent with ages inferred from evolutionary tracks? Why do most stars predicted to host Centrifugal Magnetospheres (CMs) display no Hα emission? Does plasma escape from CMs via centrifugal breakout events, or by a steady-state leakage mechanism? This thesis investigates these questions via a population study with a sample of 51 magnetic early B-type stars. The longitudinal magnetic field \bz~was measured from Least Squares Deconvolution profiles extracted from high-resolution spectropolarimetric data. New rotational periods P rot were determined for 15 stars from \bz, leaving only 3 stars for which P rot is unknown. Projected rotational velocities \vsini~were measured from multiple spectral lines. Effective temperatures and surface gravities were measured via ionization balances and line profile fitting of H Balmer lines. Fundamental physical parameters, \bz, \vsini, and P rot were then used to determine radii, masses, ages, dipole oblique rotator model, stellar wind, magnetospheric, and spindown parameters using a Monte Carlo approach that self-consistently calculates all parameters while accounting for all available constraints on stellar properties. Dipole magnetic field strengths B d follow a log-normal distribution similar to that of Ap stars, and decline over time in a fashion consistent with the expected conservation of fossil magnetic flux. P rot increases with fractional main sequence age, mass, and B d, as expected from magnetospheric braking. However, comparison of evolutionary track ages to maximum spindown ages t S,max shows that initial rotation fractions may be far below critical for stars with M_*>10 M_\odot. Computing t S,max with different mass-loss prescriptions indicates that the mass-loss rates of B-type stars are likely much lower than expected from extrapolation from O-type stars. Stars with Hα in emission and absorption occupy distinct regions in the updated rotation-magnetic confinement diagram: Hα-bright stars are found to be younger, more rapidly rotating, and more strongly magnetized than the general population. Emission strength is sensitive both to the volume of the CM and to the mass-loss rate, favouring leakage over centrifugal breakout.

▼ Contact between numerical simulations and observations of
stellar magnetism is sought, with an emphasis on those stars that are the most readily observed and those that may have magnetic activity cycles: the Sun, F-type, and B-type stars. Two approaches are taken in studying
stellar dynamos and dynamics, utilizing three-dimensional MHD simulations run on massively parallel supercomputers with the full spherical geometry and employing a new compressible code in the spherical wedge geometry. A 3D MHD simulation of the solar dynamo that utilizes the Anelastic Spherical Harmonic (ASH) code is presented. This simulation self-consistently exhibits four prominent aspects of solar
magnetism: activity cycles, polarity cycles, the equatorward field migration, and grand minima. The ASH framework and this simulation’s ability to capture many aspects of the solar dynamo represent a first step toward a more complete model of the Sun’s global-scale magnetic activity and its cycles. The dynamics and dynamos of F-type stars are studied through global-scale ASH simulations, with significant contact made between the observed differential rotation and magnetic cycle periods of these stars and those achieved in the simulations. Separately, ASH simulations of core convection in the massive B-type stars show that generation of superequipartition magnetic fields with peak strengths above 1 MG is possible within their cores, which has implications for the evolution of these stars as well as for the properties of their remnants. The internal waves excited by overshooting convection and rotation in these stars radiative exteriors are assessed for their asteroseismic signatures. The results of 3D compressive MHD simulations of the solar near-surface shear layer with the Compressible Spherical Segment (CSS) code are shown, with such layers arising in the coupled dynamics of ASH and CSS as well as in a more rapidly rotating, thin convective envelope of an F-type star.

▼ Environ 10% des étoiles de type spectral O, B ou A ont un champ magnétique fort, détectable, stable et à grande échelle à leur surface, qui ressemble le plus souvent à un dipôle. Des modèles théoriques et des simulations numériques prédisent ces champs magnétiques vus en surface pénètrent aussi dans les zones radiatives et influencent la structure interne. Les modèles prédisent que ces champs magnétiques imposent une rotation uniforme dans les zones radiatives et peuvent supprimer la pénétration convective autour du cœur. Cela a des conséquences sur l’évolution de ces étoiles chaudes magnétiques. Pour ce faire, l’astérosismologie est la meilleure méthode car les paramètres des pulsations stellaires sont directement liés aux conditions physiques internes. Plusieurs types de pulsations stellaires sont connus et classés en fonction de leur force de rappel. Parmi eux, les plus à même de sonder les régions proches du cœur des étoiles, sur lequel se concentre notre intérêt dans cette thèse sont les modes de gravité, qui sont gouvernés par la force d’Archimède.Notre premier objectif était d’identifier des étoiles chaudes, pulsantes et magnétiques et de caractériser leurs propriétés magnétiques et sismiques. Des étoiles ont été sélectionnées grâce à des diagnostics observationnels indirects de la présence d’un champ magnétique qou nous confirmons grâce à de la spectropolarimétrie optique à haute résolution obtenue avec ESPaDOnS, Narval et ESPaDOnS. Pour deux étoiles magnétiques connues, HD43317 et o Lup, nous avons caractérisé la géométrie et l’intensité du champ magnétique aves des séries temporelles spectropolarimétriques. Pour toutes les étoiles de notre échantillon, nous avons également obtenu des séries temporelles photométriques très précises grâce aux télescopes spatiaux BRITE, CoRoT ou K2 pour étudier leur variabilité (périodique) cohérente. Seulement HD43317 a révélé des dizaines de fréquences de pulsations stellaires, pointant plutôt vers des modes de gravité.Nous nous sommes ensuite concentrés sur HD43317 dans pour déterminer observationellement la structure interne de cette étoile magnétique chaude. Nous avons fait usage de modélisation sismique: les fréquences des modes de pulsations observées dans les données CoRoT, couvrant 150j, ont été ajustées à celles des modes gravito-inertiels calculés avec le code de pulsations GYRE couplé aux modèles MESA. Nous avons pu associer les fréquences des modes de pulsations à des séries de modes (l,m) = (1,−1) et (2,−1) se chevauchant. La petite zone de pénétration convective dans la zone radiative telle que déduite du modèle MESA optimal s’avère cohérente avec les prédictions théoriques. Néanmoins, les intervalles de confiance sur certains paramètres physiques issus des modèles sont très larges et compatibles avec les valeurs de la littérature pour des étoiles chaudes et pulsantes mais non-magnétiques. Nous en concluons que la série temporelle de 150j de données CoRoT est trop courte pour déterminer d’une manière non-équivoque la structure interne des étoiles magnétiques…

▼ In this PhD Dissertation, we present investigation of contemporary problems in
magnetism. We focus on two important themes that have been active research topics in condensed matter community: 1. Topological defects in magnet and their dynamics 2. Exotic states and critical phenomena in frustrated spin systems. In the first topic, we consider the dynamics of topological defect known as Skyrmion in thin film ferromagnet. We first discuss the nontrivial dynamics exhibited by a Skyrmion bubble confined in thin film disk as observed by numerical simulation. We propose a phenomenological theory that can reproduce the peculiar dynamics of the Skyrmion bubble. We show that, unlike previously studied topological defects, a Skyrmion bubble possesses inertia. We derive a theoretical description of the dynamics using standard theory of ferromagnet. We discover the presence of two counter propagating chiral edge modes. Most importantly, we derive the mass (inertia) from the theory
and express it in terms of microscopic parameters. In the second topic, a quantum phase transition in U(1) quantum spin liquid phase of 3-d pyrochlore quantum spin ice is investigated. Starting from microscopic spin model, we map the spin to slave-boson, derive continuum theory, and finally arrive at a U(1) gauge theory which takes the form of scalar quantum electrodynamics (QED). The effective free energy for quantum spin liquid (QSL) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition mimics the one for Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors classical transition under magnetic field. We show that, provided Ginzburg criterion is satisfied, the gauge field fluctuations drive the originally continuous QSL to AFM phase transition at mean field level into discontinuous one. We predict the location of quantum critical point which agrees well with gauge mean field theory result. We calculate the size of phase transition and find that it is a weakly first order.

▼ In this thesis, we investigate the eects of rotation on the evolution of stars
in the mass range of 2-15 M assuming solar-like initial composition. We have used
a well tested hydrodynamical
stellar evolution program [El Eid et al., 2009], which
has been extended to include a one-dimensional treatment of rotational instabilities.
The calculations for stars in the mass range up to 8 M have been performed
to include the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) in order to gure out
whether rotational instabilities can eect the so called "third dredge up", leading
to a neutron source for the s-process nucleosynthesis.
In the case of massive stars, above 8 M, rotational eects are expected
to become important during the main sequence evolution, mainly owing to the
so called "Eddington-Sweet" circulation. An indication of the eect of rotation
should show up through the surface enrichment of 4He and 14N at the end of
core Hydrogen burning. Another important aspect of rotation is the study of
its eect on the shell carbon burning phase, where the s-process nucleosynthesis
occurs.[El Eid et al., 2000]

▼ Accurate determination of fundamental stellar properties is crucial in understanding and testing models of stellar structure and evolution. To date, most stars with independent determinations of stellar properties based on high-resolution observations by optical interferometers belong to stars of type F5 or later, and most of measurements for early type stars come almost exclusively from the seminal observations with the Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer (NSII) 50 years ago. Additionally, stellar rotation, generally overlooked in standard stellar models for decades, can play a central role for early-type stars, given their frequent high rotation rates. In this case, determination of fundamental stellar properties requires accurate diameter estimates at a range of position angles, and a more detailed modelling of the stellar surface. Recent development of 2D stellar models including a self-consistent rotation description (incorporating differential rotation) in stars with radiative envelopes has provided a method to describe the effects of rotation that links them to fundamental properties,based on a small set of parameters determining the stellar structure (mass,composition,rotation). In this thesis I have determined fundamental stellar properties for 14 new stars with spectral types earlier than F6. For 10 of them, the effects of stellar rotation may be neglected, whereas the other 4 exhibit fast rotation. In order to derive stellar parameters for these stars, I have incorporated state-of-the-art 2D models into a code capable of generating a model synthesizing all observables into a robust and self-consistent framework. Using interferometry,star distances,photometry and spectroscopy in the ultraviolet,visible and infrared, the derived fundamental stellar parameters, together with rotation dependent evolutionary tracks,are used to determine mass and age of the stars,corrected for the bias induced by the star rotation axis orientation.

▼ This work had two objectives. The first was to
derive a program that could, at the push of a button, generate an
extended series of accurate
stellar properties from a limited range
of observations. The second was to take these estimates and use
them to derive some meaningful insight into the properties of their
planets. The mass, age and surface gravity of 196 planet-hosting
stars were derived from prior observations of luminosity, effective
temperature and metallicity. The study generated a mean error in
log of 0.05 dex, comparable with measurements derived from
spectroscopy. The model was able to constrain
stellar age to a mean
of 2.56 Gyr. Such was the accuracy and precision of the results
that it allowed reporting errors in the discovery literature to be
found. The derived host-star properties were used to model the
current and future evolution of the
stellar sample, and the orbital
evolution of its planets under a tidal regime taken from the
literature. The tidal model generated migration rates at the low
end of predicted literature values, but they were still significant
enough to generate engulfments of some hot-Jupiter planets in their
star's main-sequence lifetime. The tidal effect was particularly
pronounced around evolved stars. A correlation between the current
modelled migration rate and the
stellar spin-rate was established
for hot-Jupiters within 0.04 AU of their stars.

▼ The recent space-based exoplanet transit searches, CoRoT and Kepler, have revolutionised the field of stellar variability. In this thesis I exploit the public Kepler data to characterise stellar variability, and study rotation periods. For the study of stellar variability it is a complicated but necessary process to remove instrumental systematics while maintaining intrinsic stellar signal. I was involved in the development of a new correction method for systematics, denoted ARC (Astrophysically Robust Correction). This method relies on the removal of a set of basis functions that are determined to be present in small amounts across many light curves. Using the first month of Kepler data, corrected with the ARC method, I studied the variability properties of main sequence stars as a function of fundamental stellar parameters. I find that the fraction of stars with variability greater than that of the Sun is 60%, and confirm the trend of increasing variability with decreasing effective temperatures. I show tentative evidence that the more active stars have lower proper motions and may be located closer to the galactic plane. I also investigate the frequency content of the variability, showing that there exist significant differences in the nature of variability between spectral types, with a trend towards longer periods at later spectral types. In order to exploit the full potential of the Kepler data for stellar rotation period measurement, I developed a novel method of period detection for use on star spot modulated light curves. Standard approaches to period detection are based on Fourier decomposition or least-squares fitting of sinusoidal models. However, typical stellar light curves are neither sinusoidal nor strictly periodic. Therefore, I developed an algorithm for period detection based on the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the light curve. Because the ACF measures only the degree of self-similarity of the light curve at a given time lag, the period remains detectable even when the amplitude and phase of the photometric modulation evolve significantly. I applied the ACF method for the sample of M-dwarfs observed during the first 10 months of the Kepler mission, and detected rotation periods in 1570, ranging from 0.37-69.7 days. The rotation period distribution is clearly bimodal, with peaks at ~19 and ~33 days, hinting at two distinct waves of star formation. These two peaks form two distinct sequences in period-temperature space, with the period decreasing with increasing temperature. In a natural continuation to this work I applied measured periods for 1000 stars in each of the F, G and K-dwarf sets observed by Kepler, and combined these with the M-dwarf results. The trend of increasing rotation period with increasing mass is clear throughout, as the observations fall along a wide by distinct sequence. Comparison to the rotational isochrones of Barnes (2007) show an overall agreement, although the dataset, which I believe is the largest set of rotation period measurements for main sequence stars, shows…

▼ The
stellar halo of the Milky Way is populated by mostly old and metal-poor stars. As dynamical timescales are of order ~Gyrs at these large distances, accreted
stellar substructures, such as dwarf galaxies or globular clusters, survive here as coherent entities longer than anywhere else in the Galaxy. These substructures represent our “fossil record” which can be used to reconstruct the Galaxy’s complex past. In this work, we seek to identify the structures found in the far reaches of the
stellar halo as a step towards a correct interpretation of this fossil record. The advent of all-sky surveys in the Gaia era has ignited a prosperous period for this field of Galactic archaeology, but exploring the distant Milky Way (>10 kpc) with Gaia is difficult. Parallax measurements are much less accurate beyond the Solar neighborhood, though Gaia’s proper motions remain useful out to large radii.
To push Gaia into the distant Galaxy, we combined these astrometric data with u-band photometry from the Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS). We exploited CFIS’ excellent photometric quality and depth (which extends 3 magnitudes deeper than that of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to use blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs) as a tracer population with well-measured distances. We first examined the distribution of BHBs using the OPTICS (Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure) clustering algorithm to visualize the hierarchical nature of outer halo substructure. We then identified several well-known satellites, including a group of stars in the vicinity of a distant globular cluster (NGC 5466). Analysis of their kinematics suggested a few of these BHBs outside the cluster’s tidal radius were co-moving with NGC 5466, implying they may be tidal debris from this system. Interestingly, a stream had previously been detected extending from this globular cluster. However, its properties had not been studied in the decade since its discovery, and previous dynamical models were unable to reproduce many of the reported features. As one of the (allegedly) longest globular cluster streams on the sky - and given its distance and utility to constrain the Milky Way’s mass at large Galactic radius - we sought to explore this structure further.
We subsequently used red giant branch stars (RGBs) identified in CFIS to try to better quantify the characteristics of the putative stream. We were able to filter these data and obtain a sample of stars that are fully consistent with stream membership and which span approximately 31 degrees of sky. Combined with the BHBs, we used these populations to trace the path of the stream, its distance and distance gradient across the stream’s longitude, and additionally estimated a lower limit to the stream’s luminosity. Our measurements suggest that the stream is at least 11% of the luminosity of the cluster.
We then compared our observational data to dynamical models, which showed generally good agreement with the observed stream. This success reflects the updated properties of data measured in…

▼ Since the 1950s, experiments searching for the neutron electric dipole moment have increased in sensitivity by six orders of magnitude. Yet, the current experimental sensitivity lies well above that predicted from standard model calculations. Corrections from physics beyond the standard model increase the predicted size of the nEDM, resulting in the nextgeneration of experiments hovering tantalisingly close to the detection sensitivity, to either verify or quash standard model extensions. One such experiment, n2EDM, currently in the commissioning stage at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, hopes to measure the nEDM with a sensitivity improvement over its predecessor. This thesis details the design, measurement and analysis of hybrid 3He/alkali magnetometers for both accurate and precise magnetic field readings at low and zero fields, crucial for the development of ever-more sensitive fundamental physics searches. The work exploits the precise nature of alkali (87Rb and 133Cs) magnetometry techniques to measure the simultaneous Larmor precession of polarised 3He, avoiding light shifts commonly associated with optically pumped magnetometers. The first part of this work demonstrates the use of a hybrid 3He/87Rb magnetometer for the minimisation of remnant fields in a magnetically shielded environment, resulting in absolute low-field readings below 5 pT. Furthermore, the hybrid magnetometer was shown to be applicable for the reduction of gradient fields by optimising the effective 3He T2 time. This new technique represents a convenient and consistent way to achieve a near-zero magnetic field environment for precision experiments. Second, a new measurement technique was demonstrated using a hybrid 3He/133Cs magnetometer in a 1 μT field, placing experimental limits on the coupling of axion-like dark matter to nucleons. The measurement excluded axion coupling strength to 2:5 x 10-1 GeV-1 for axion masses between 10-20 to 10-17 eV at the 95% level. With the resulting exclusion region weaker than previous measurements, possible improvements to the apparatus should drive the development of a low-cost long-term axion interaction search.

▼ This dissertation details studies of three different frustrated magnet families: NaCaNi2F7, Er3Ga5O12, and ErMgGaO4, using a variety of techniques, including magnetization, specific heat, neutron scattering and muon spin rotation/relaxation (μSR).
NaCaNi2F7 belongs to the fluoride pyrochlores family. In this thesis, we study the effect of the randomness on the A site on the magnetic property of B site. This chemical disorder randomness was caused by the mixture of two different elements from Group 1 and 2 (Na and Ca). DFT calculation and computation simulations indicates a possible non-centred F-μ -F muon stopping site. Zero field (ZF) and longitudinal field (LF) μSR shows that the Ni2+ spins undergo spin freezing into a disordered ground state below 4K, with persistent spin dynamics to our lowest temperature 75 mK.
We obtained high quality single crystal of Er3Ga5O12 by utilizing the optical floating-zone (OFZ) technique. We performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements to determine the crystalline electric field (CEF) Hamiltonian, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, indicating an Ising-like anisotropy ground state which is also consistent with our specific heat experiment with entropy approaching Rln(2). All seven crystalline electric field excitations from the ground state Kramers doublet were identified. In addition, Rietveld refinement of neutron powder diffraction data reveal that Er3Ga5O12 orders into the Γ3 magnetic structure, with ordered magnetic moment μord = 5.24(4)~μB, in agreement with μIsing = 5.61 μB from our deduced CEF Hamiltonian. Our μSR measurements also reveals the presence of fluctuating local fields on the muon timescale, indicating exotic slow spin dynamics in the ground state.
The objective of the work on ErMgGaO4 was to identify a new quantum spin liquid candidate. Single crystals of ErMgGaO4 were obtained through (OFZ) technique as well, and the structure was refined and confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and Laue diffraction after a repeated refinement of our synthesis process. Susceptibility measurements reveal no evidence of a magnetic transition down to 0.5 K, in agreement with specific heat measurement which exhibit no anomalies which would have been evidence of an ordering transition. ZF-μSR measurements reveal no sign of coherent long range order or spin freezing down to 25 mK, while LF-μSR measurements shows persistent spin dynamics at 25 mK. Our observations provides evidence for a quantum spin liquid ground state in this compound.

▼ Superconductivity and
magnetism were previously thought as incompatible until the discovery
of some rare earth ternary compounds that show the coexistence of superconductivity
and
magnetism. In some of the recently discovered iron-based layered superconductors,
superconductivity and
magnetism coexist. In the present work we examine the
possibility of coexistence of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in samarium arsenide
oxide superconductor (SmAsO1xFxFe). Using a model of the Hamiltonian and
retarded double time Greens function formalism, we found expressions for superconducting
transition temperature (Tc), superconductivity order parameter ( sc(T)), AFM order
parameter ( ), and AFM transition temperature (Tm). We obtained the phase diagrams
(Tcvs ) and (Tmvs ) to obtain the region where both orders ,i.e, superconductivity and
AFM coexist. The region under the intersection of the two merged graphs shows that
superconductivity and AFM coexist in the system(SmAsO1xFxFe).

▼ Nickel or nickel alloys are common materials used in under bump metallization (UBM) in flip chip technology. Nickel is used because of its slow reaction rate with tin-based solder at
elevated temperatures. However, nickel is ferromagnetic at room temperature, hence cannot be easily deposited with magnetron sputtering. In this study, small quantities of titanium and
vanadium were added to nickel via co-sputtering to try to form nonmagnetic binary alloys. BH-looper results showed decrease in saturation magnetization alloys with increasing amount of
the added metal. Impurity addition to nickel in UBM can create reliability issues especially with solder reaction. This may lead to a mechanically unstable film that ultimately results in an electrical open circuit from the die to the package. A solder reflow process is simulated to analyze reactions with SnAgCu lead-free solder via electron microscopy. SEM analysis showed
increased contact angle and serious interfacial separation between Ni(Ti) and solder.

▼ This dissertation reports on a detailed systematic study of the investigation into
using Indium Oxide based materials in next generation spin-transport electronic applications.
Initial studies focused on the optimisation of the electrical properties of Indium
Oxide (In2O3) and Tin(Sn)-doped Indium Oxide (ITO) thin films grown using DC
magnetron sputtering. The manipulation of various deposition parameters allowed the
electrical properties to be tuned effectively.
With the desire to create multi-functional spintronic devices, a dilute magnetic oxide
system is developed where the In2O3 and ITO matrices are doped with low levels
of transition metals, in particular, Co. Using a number of characterisation techniques,
the origins of the magnetic response in these thin films is explored in great detail. In
particular, powerful probes such as x-ray and optical magnetic circular dichroism are
utilised. The major finding from these investigations is that the magnetism does not
necessarily emanate from the Co dopants alone. In fact, Co dopants give a strictly
paramagnetic response, suggesting that the magnetism observed may be a result of
polarised electrons in localised donor states in the In2O3 and ITO hosts. Therefore, we
believe that the origins of magnetism in these films is related to a hybridisation and
charge transfer of electrons from a broad donor/defect-derived impurity band to a band
of unoccupied 3d states at the Fermi level. The emergence of a very weak magnetic
signal in pure ITO raises further questions as to the true origins of the ferromagnetic
behaviour and supports a defect-related mechanism.
To explore the suitability of ITO for a future in spintronics further, the performance
of some metal ferromagnet/oxide multilayered structures was investigated. The
investigations revealed a significant contribution to both the magnetic and magnetotransport
properties from a superparamagnetic component giving some insight into the
importance of the quality of interfaces between the metal ferromagnet/oxide layers and
heterostructures.
Using a three-dimensional focused-ion beam etching technique to fabricate submicron
spin-valve devices with ITO spacer layers, current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance
measurements were carried out to estimate the spin diffusion length of
ITO at room temperature. In conjunction with a simplified Valet-Fert model, a spin
asymmetry ratio for Co of 0.55 and spin diffusion length of 6±1 nm in semiconducting
ITO at room temperature was estimated. These findings imply that spin information
can be conserved and transported through In2O3 and ITO even up to and beyond room
temperature.

▼ The spin ice state is a rare magnetic ground state that can be observed in the pyrochlore oxides, A2B2O7. In this ground state, the spins, align such that two spins point inwards and two outwards on each tetrahedron. The emergence of monopole-like excitations in spin ices has given rise to immense interest in this class of materials. However, a complex set of conditions must be met for a material to adopt the spin ice state, making them exceedingly rare. Prior theoretical studies have put forth two pyrochlores, Ho2Ge2O7 and Pr2Zr2O7, as spin ice candidates. The aim of this project was to fully characterize these compounds and determine their magnetic ground states. We show through magnetometry, heat capacity, and neutron scattering that Ho2Ge2O7 is a new, highly correlated spin ice material. Conversely, Pr2Zr2O7, while exhibiting many spin ice properties, has a ground state which remains undetermined.

▼ This thesis is a thesis of two halves. The first investigates the Spintronic idea of generating charge-decoupled spin currents in metallic systems, whereas the second contains discussions on the topic of Magnon Computing. Chapters 2 and 3 investigate the relevance of the 'old knowledge' of Magnetic Resonance to the modern-day research field of Spintronics. A model based on the Overhauser Effect is presented that explains microscopically how a pure spin current can be generated in a metallic bilayer system, and an experiment is proposed to explore this model, which is dubbed the 'Overhauser Spin Battery'. Chapter 3 contains details of all three aspects of the Spin Battery experimental process - that of sample fabrication, sample experimentation, and a presentation of the results. The results support the model presented in Chapter 2, and suggest that the Overhauser Spin Battery can indeed be used to generate pure spin currents. Chapter 4 looks at the problem of how information is encoded into magnonic streams. A simple device for converting between amplitude modulated (AM) and phase modulated (PM) signals is demonstrated. Potential novel applications of this device are also considered. Chapter 5 investigates methods of separating magnonic signals of differing frequencies that have been transmitted down a single waveguide simultaneously, which is known as multiplexing. It was determined that heterodyning is a viable method for extracting signals from a multiplexed data stream, and that it is applicable to both AM and PM signals. Quadrature phase-shift keying is shown to be a valid method for doubling the information transmitted down a magnonic waveguide, and a discussion is presented about how the principles of phase-shift keying could be applied to wider questions in Magnon Computing. Chapter 6 summarises the key ideas and results of the thesis, and considers some further experiments that may be of interest.

▼ Physical properties of RTX compounds (R = Rare earth, T = Transition metal and
X = main group element from B, C or N group) compounds have been studied by
means of electrical resistivity, heat capacity, dc magnetization and NMR. Searching
for new magnetic materials is always an interesting topic from both a technological and basic research prospective; it is even more interesting when unusual magnetic phases are observed. Ternary intermetallic plumbides are interesting because of
their unconventional magnetic ordering and variety of multiple magnetic transitions.
Crystalline electric fields (CEF) also strongly effect the magnetic properties of these
intermetallics. To understand the phase transitions, CEF effects, and magnetic interactions, a systematic study of the RNiPb, R2Ni2Pb, R5NiPb3 and RCuGe systems
were conducted.
Among the results for NdNiPb a single antiferromagnetic transition was found
at 3.5K, while the superconductivity found in some ingots of this material was shown
not to correspond to a bulk behavior for this phase. Nd2Ni2Pb was shown to have a
canted zero field magnetic structure with a low temperature metamagnetic transition
3 T. In NdCuGe, a 3K AF transition was found along with a corresponding magnon
contribution to the specific heat and magnetic and thermodynamic behavior from which the detailed CEF configuration was obtained.
In a series of measurements on recently-synthesized R5NiPb3 (R=Ce, Nd, Gd),
for Ce5NiPb3 a transition at 48 K was found, which was confirmed to be ferromagnetic character from field dependent heat capacity and Curie-Weiss susceptibility.
Nd5NiPb3 exhibits two transitions, an antiferromagnetic transition at 42 K and an
apparently weak ferromagnetic canting transition at 8 K. For Gd5NiPb3, a ferro- or
ferrimagnetic transition was found at 68 K. For the Ce and Nd materials metamagnetism was also observed at low temperatures. In addition, very large metallic type
y terms were found in the specific heat, as well as a reduced value of the magnetic
entropy, for all three systems. These results imply a lack of ordering for one of the
two in-equivalent chains in these materials. This is discussed in terms of possible
geometrical frustration on one of the spin chains.

▼ In the development of a pulse position modulation analogue computer the requirement arose to control accurately the frequency of a magnetic drum. A control system was designed which compares the drum frequency to a 1000 cps tuning fork oscillator. Any deviation in phase produces a corresponding change in torque on the drum drive motor which then corrects the phase error.
As part of the over-all project a precision power supply was developed. The requirements were met by modifying existing designs.

▼ I present a study of the lithium abundances for a sample of super metal-rich (SMR, [Fe/H] > + 0.20) main sequence dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. The SMR stars were selected to have surface temperatures in the region of the lithium plateau, a narrow region in temperature space where stars are predicted by models to preserve their initial surface Li abundances while on the main sequence. Despite these predictions, observations of lower-metallicity stars indicate that significant depletion occurs during the first few Gyr of
stellar evolution. SMR stars, which represent the extreme end of Galactic chemical evolution, present an opportunity to constrain proposed mechanisms to explain this depletion. 100 SMR candidates were selected from existing surveys and followed up with spectroscopic observations using the Hydra spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, as well as photometric observations using the 0.9m WIYN and 40” telescopes at Kitt Peak and Mount Laguna Observatory, respectively. Using the results from ANNA, a new tool that uses a neural network to parameterize
stellar spectra, as well as a more traditional equivalent width based analysis, 44 single stars with [Fe/H] > + 0.20 were identified and Li was measured for each star. Consistent with previous studies, the SMR stars can be divided into a sample of stars with measurable Li and a sample with upper limits only. Examining the low-Li stars’ evolutionary states reveals that they are consistent with being evolved Li dip stars and therefore depleted their surface Li while on the main sequence before evolving to the cooler temperatures of the Li plateau. Considering only the high-Li sample, the stars are all consistent with having ages in the range 3 – 4.5 Gyr, indicating that they have already significantly depleted their Li. We find no young (age + 0.20) main sequence dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. The SMR stars were selected to have surface temperatures in the region of the lithium plateau, a narrow region in temperature space where stars are predicted by models to preserve their initial surface Li abundances while on the main sequence. Despite these predictions, observations of lower-metallicity stars indicate that significant depletion occurs during the first few Gyr of
stellar evolution. SMR stars, which represent the extreme end of Galactic chemical evolution, present an opportunity to constrain proposed mechanisms to explain this depletion. 100 SMR candidates were selected from existing surveys and followed up with spectroscopic observations using the Hydra spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, as well as photometric observations using the 0.9m WIYN and 40” telescopes at Kitt Peak and Mount Laguna Observatory, respectively. Using the results from ANNA, a new tool that uses a neural network to parameterize
stellar spectra, as well as a more traditional equivalent width based analysis, 44 single stars with [Fe/H] > + 0.20 were identified and Li was measured for each star. Consistent…

▼ In chapter 1, we determine the masses, radii and temperatures of the eclipsing binary V578 Mon, a detached system of two early B-type stars in the Rosette Nebula, to better than 5% accuracy. We compare these measurements to the
stellar models of the Geneva, Utrecht and Granada group. We find all three sets of models marginally reproduce the absolute dimensions of both stars. However - there are some apparent discrepancies, and the Utrecht models worked best. We also compute the combined internal structure constants for V578 Mon. We find that the predicted internal structure constants of the Granada models fully agrees with our observations.
In chapter 2, we present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope survey of the lowest mass brown dwarfs in the Pleiades. These objects represent the predecessors to T-dwarfs in the field. Using a new PSF-fitting technique, we are able to probe to 30 milliarcseconds, better than 2× the HST diffraction limit. We did not find any companions to our targets. Our survey is the first to attain the high angular resolution needed to resolve brown dwarf binaries in the Pleiades at separations that are most common in the field population. We constrain the binary frequency to be <26% at 2σ. This binary frequency is consistent with both younger and older brown dwarfs in this mass range and with brown dwarf formation models.
Visible-light long baseline interferometry holds the promise of advancing a number of important applications in fundamental astronomy, including the direct measurement of the angular diameters and oblateness of stars, and the orbits of binary and multiple star systems. To advance, the field requires instruments capable of combining light from 6 telescopes simultaneously. In chapter 3, we present the Visible Imaging System for Interferometric Observations at NPOI (VISION) is a new visible light beam combiner for the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) that coherently combines light from up to six telescopes simultaneously. We detail the commissioning of VISION with laboratory and on-sky tests. We provide a new set of corrections for the power spectrum and bispectrum when using EMCCDs.

▼ In this thesis, the origin of large-scale structures in hot star winds, believed to be responsible for the presence of discrete absorption components (DACs) in the absorption troughs of ultraviolet resonance lines, is constrained using both observations and numerical simulations. These structures are understood as arising from bright regions on the stellar surface, although their physical cause remains unknown.
First, we use high quality circular spectropolarimetric observations of 13 well-studied OB stars to evaluate the potential role of dipolar magnetic fields in producing DACs. We perform longitudinal field measurements and place limits on the field strength using Bayesian inference, assuming that it is dipolar. No magnetic field was detected within this sample. The derived constraints statistically refute any significant dynamical influence from a magnetic dipole on the wind for all of these stars, ruling out such fields as a cause for DACs.
Second, we perform numerical simulations using bright spots constrained by broadband optical photometric observations. We calculate hydrodynamical wind models using three sets of spot sizes and strengths. Co-rotating interaction regions are yielded in each model, and radiative transfer shows that the properties of the variations in the UV resonance lines synthesized from these models are consistent with those found in observed UV spectra, establishing the first consistent link between UV spectroscopic line profile variability and photometric variations and thus supporting the bright spot paradigm (BSP).
Finally, we develop and apply a phenomenological model to quantify the measurable effects co-rotating bright spots would have on broadband optical photometry and on the profiles of photopheric lines in optical spectra. This model can be used to evaluate the existence of these spots, and, in the event of their detection, characterize them. Furthermore, a tentative spot evolution model is presented. A preliminary analysis of its output, compared to the observed photometric variations of xi Persei, suggests the possible existence of “active longitudes” on the surface of this star.
Future work will expand the range of observational diagnostics that can be interpreted within the BSP, and link phenomenology (bright spots) to physical processes (magnetic spots or non-radial pulsations).

▼ Understanding how massive galaxies form and grow is of profound importance to modern theories of galaxy evolution and cosmology. In this thesis, I investigate the
stellar population and assembly histories of massive galaxies and their surrounding satellite galaxies in nearby galaxy clusters, with particular focus on how they maintain the remarkable scaling relations among their
stellar mass, their
stellar population properties, and the mass of their host dark matter halos regardless of the stochastic mergers and the complex baryonic processes they experienced.
I begin by introducing the “coordinated assembly” picture for massive galaxies using an ongoing brightest cluster (BCG) assembly case at z ∼ 0.1. With detailed
stellar population analysis, we look into both the scaling relations between
stellar mass and galaxy central
stellar population properties, as well as the radial profiles where their
stellar population bear the imprint of the assembly history. We found that the cluster center shapes the [α/Fe]–σ⋆ and [α/Fe]–M⋆ relations differently than other environments, suggesting the assembly of massive galaxies is coordinated in a way that their building blocks are not just random draws from the general low mass galaxy population, but featuring early truncated star formation histories, making them a special sample among the general population. Next, I present a deep and comprehensive optical spectroscopic survey of galaxies in the Coma cluster–the Deep Coma project. This is part of the SDSS IV/MaNGA Survey. Taking advantage of the deep integral field spectroscopy and the powerful full spectral modeling method, we investigated the
stellar population in various types of targets, in addition to central and outskirts of BCGs and massive early type galaxies. In particular, our results show that the
stellar populations of intracluster light (ICL) are old and metal poor, indicating the build-up of ICL in Coma is likely to be through the accretion of low mass galaxies or the tidal stripping of the outskirts of massive galaxies that have ended their star formation early on. The old and shallow radial profiles of
stellar age from the BCG centers to ICL are also consistent with the “coordinated assembly” picture. Mean- while, we find that the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in Coma have as old or older
stellar age than galaxies at similar
stellar mass or velocity dispersion. Despite their diffuse structures and their un- usual large size, they in general follow the well-established M⋆–
stellar metallicity relation, with one exception lies below the σ⋆-metallicity relation, suggesting that
stellar mass plays a more important role in setting
stellar population properties for these galaxies than either size or surface brightness. In Chapter 5, I look into the
stellar mass-halo mass relation, and investigate the origins of its scatter, by combining N-body simulations with observational constraints. We find that at the group and cluster scale, the scatter is mostly due to hierarchical assembly. At lower masses, in situ buildup of…

▼ Over the last three decades, the far-infrared emission from distant galaxies has been revealed to us. This far-infrared light is emitted by dust clouds heated by UV radiation from young stars. This reveals to us some of the most remarkable and highly star-forming galaxies in the Universe. The Herschel space observatory was able to capture this light. With this thesis I have attempted to get a better understanding of the underlying galaxy population. I have done this by observing the most extreme forms of star formation in the early Universe seen in maps obtained by the SPIRE instrument and using prior information from deep high resolution surveys. In particular I have examined the dependencies of dusty galaxy properties on their environment. I have confirmed that star formation is primarily dependent on both galaxy mass and whether a galaxy lies in the "blue cloud". Environment is the primary influence on the fraction of galaxies lying in the blue cloud and has a minor, but significant, affect on the average star formation rate of star forming galaxies. The highest redshift galaxies directly detected in the Herschel SPIRE maps are very rare, but due to the large area of the HerMES surveys we are able to find a statistical significant sample. With the addition of longer wavelength SCUBA-2 data I further confine the redshift of the dusty galaxies and find that the star formation rates of those sources are extremely high and exceed 1000 M_ a year. The observed number counts of these extremely bright sources have been a problem for galaxy evolution models. I am able to explain the observed number count of red SPIRE sources by adding correlated confusion noise and Gaussian instrumental noise to simulated galaxy catalogues. My results emphasise that it is crucial to correct for noise and selection effects for comparison with simulations. I exploit a novel way of fitting the full SPIRE maps using prior information from deep high resolution surveys, obtained from wavelengths ranging from optical to radio. In doing so I obtain the most accurate values of the cosmic infrared background (CIB) at the SPIRE wavelengths. With these results we have a better indication of which sources are producing the CIB, and therefore the bulk of star formation. My results indicate that future large area surveys like LSST are likely to resolve a substantial fraction of the population responsible for the CIB at 250 μm ≤ λ ≤ 500 μm.
