Death of Mark-Oliver Goerbig
The Solid State Physics Laboratory is in mourning. It has just lost one of its leading members. Mark-Oliver Goerbig, a researcher in the Theory group, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, …
Hund’s coupling mediated multi-channel quantum phase transition of a single magnetic impurity in Fe(Se,Te)
Sub-gap states generated by single spins in a superconductor can be used as building blocks for quantum devices. Physicists at the Laboratoire physique des solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have uncovered that …
Breakthrough in biomimetic membrane technology could impact multiple industries
Researchers from the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI) in collaboration with the Theory group of the LPS have succeeded in creating large-area, energy-converting block-copolymer membranes that mimic the function of biological …
Topologically trivial gap-filling in superconducting Fe(Se,Te) by one dimensional defects
Physicists at the Laboratoire physique des solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have uncovered that the sub-gap states observed in one-dimensional defects in superconducting Fe(Se,Te) are caused by sub-surface debris, contrary to previous …
Guiding Nanoparticle Assembly into Complex Structures
Researchers have developed a new method to introduce controlled disorder intro crystals of anisotropic gold nanoparticles. This result, at the crossroad between chemistry and engineering, offers prospects for the synthesis …
Self-assembly of quasi-crystals on a human scale
The physicists from the Laboratory of Solid State Physics (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have demonstrated that quasi-crystals, the ordered aperiodic structures, are not confined to the atomic or microscopic domain but can …
