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 …
Interactions emerging at the interface of an ultrathin magnetic layer, such as the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) antisymmetric exchange interaction, can lead to the appearance of particular spin orientations within the layer, …
The configuration and geometry of chemical reactors determine reliability when assessing the performance of photocatalytic materials. Researchers have developed a novel automated photoreactor for H2 production that substantially improves the …
Two young researchers from the STEM group, Nadezda Varkentina (former postdoc) and Yves Auad (Ph.D) have received the 2022 Outstanding Paper Award from the European Microscopy Society in the Instrumentation …
Rectification of an optical signal using an all-metallic electronic device is of fundamental and technological importance for nano-optics. Researchers probed experimentally the microscopic mechanism at the origin of the optical …
A team of researchers from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS) has demonstrated that in all-metallic Josephson field effect transistors, the statistics of electron flow due to the gate …
