Precise understanding of the slow, while significant, evolution of the microstructure of metallic alloys is crucial in at least two fields: industry and cultural heritage. In this project, we want to address the question of the long-term aging of...

The aim of Spintronics in Semiconductors is to use the electron spin as an additional degree of freedom to process information. It requires the injection of spin polarized currents into semiconductors. Up to now, researches have mostly focused on...

Magnonic crystals are the magnetic counterpart of photonic crystals. They are made of a magnetic material with a spatial modulation of one or several magnetic parameters. They are used for propagation of information in the Giga Hertz range coded...

Our project is to study the heating phenomena related to losses in nanoscaled ferromagnetic (FM) materials (thin films or nanoparticles), in particular, their measure by either infrared or visible light detection.

Heavily doped semiconductor nanocrystals can mimic optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures of noble metals thanks to the appearance of a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). However, the weaker free carrier concentration (1018-1021...

In this project we plan to develop a novel THz magneto-spectroscopy setup to be used under the extreme conditions of our semi-destructive (explosive) Megagauss magnetic fields facility, and then to use this unique installation to study...
