Our projects
HITS
Organic spintronic devices are extremely polyvalent due to the versatility of chemistry. However, a better fundamental understanding of these hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces is necessary because there are still many open questions about the spin transport through these interfaces…

Ligth4net
Ordered arrays of nanoscale objects supported on a surface are of growing interest for many technological applications. Nevertheless, the fabrication of extended regular structures is quite challenging and mainly reported for self-assembled supramolecular structures on metal surfaces....Read more ...
OVATION
Activation of small molecules, such as N2 by metal-based complexes often occurs via mechanisms involving changes in redox state, spin state, bond breaking and formation. Therefore radical reactions are particularly suited for providing insights into such aspects...

Tools capable of exploring matter with ultimate spatial resolution have attracted a tremendous interest over the past decades. Among those, scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) have played a pre-eminent role allowing one to visualize, manipulate and address electronic, magnetic or optical properties with atomic-scale resolution. A drawback of SPMs is their very low chemical sensitivity, a constant limitation for investigations aiming at characterizing fundamental chemical phenomena occurring at the molecular level.

PULSACION
Chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs) provide unprecedented frequency stability within volumes down to a few cubic centimeters and power consumptions as low as 100 mW. In this framework, the ANR project PULSACION aims at providing novel solutions in order to improve the long-term frequency stability of miniature atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping (CPT)...

PhotoRest
The PhoRest project aimed at the engineering of surface coupled phononic resonators for a increased control of phonon propagation and coupling. The overall objective was to push forward an original conceptual approach to design complex systems that could contribute to the development of disruptive Information and Communication Technologies based on advanced acoustic signal processing functionalites.Read more...
TraThI
Thanks to a multi-scale approach, the TraThI project aims at a better understanding of the transfer mechanisms at the interfaces in order to propose new heat extraction techniques, able to respond to such power density levels.
