Les nanocristaux se sont massivement imposés comme une solution polyvalente pour la fabrication d’une nouvelle génération de dispositifs opto-électroniques comme les LEDs ou les cellules photovoltaïques. Des travaux récents suggèrent …
Researchers at the Solid State Physics Laboratory (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) and their collaborators have developed a new light source: two-dimensional quantum dots created in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides. The field …
CNRS scientists have studied the evolution of the shape of gold nano-tetrapods and have revealed a two-stage kinetics: the four arms – initially pointed – quickly become blunt, before beginning …
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 …
Physicists from the Solid State Physics Laboratory (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently convert a flow of microwave photons into a flow of electrons. This efficient …
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 …
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 …
Multiferroic compounds are widely studied for their magnetoelectric coupling, enabling polarization, for example, to be manipulated using a magnetic field. A new electronic state has just been discovered in the …
On the 17th of October, the Académie des Sciences awarded the 2023 Prix d’Aumale to Charis Quay, maîtresse des conférences at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay). Charis …
Understanding how materials absorb light on the nanometer scale is essential for applications in photonics and quantum optics. By superimposing a laser beam and an electron beam in an electron …
