 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

Atomichem

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.
