		<description>Helicenes belong to a class of helical and polyaromatic molecules, which have a rich history in chemistry for over 100 years. Their helicity is generated from a twisted and distorded pi-system, coming from steric interactions of a series of ortho-fused benzene rings (figure 1). &lt;br /&gt;Figure 1 : A helicene which contains seven ortho-fused benzene rings : [7]helicene &lt;br /&gt;Their screwed structure provides left- or right-handed chiral molecules with unusual physical and optical properties.

More precisely, helicene molecules have been recently involved in asymmetric catalysis, in advanced materials (dendrimers, polymers, liquid crystals, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), foldamers and films), in molecular electronics (semi-conductors, organic light-emitting diode (OLED)) and in optics (chiroptical molecular switches, non-linear optics (NLO), etc.).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;The synthesis of helicenes, their supramolecular assembly, and some nc-AFM studies on chiral molecular films (figure 3) are representative of the recent work accomplished in &#8220;chironanoscience&#8221; at CINAM :&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&#8220;Expeditive Syntheses of Functionalized Pentahelicenes and NC-AFM on Ag(001)&#8221;, S.

Si des exp&#233;riences vari&#233;es, sur diff&#233;rents m&#233;taux, &#224; diff&#233;rentes temp&#233;ratures et pressions d'eau ont &#233;t&#233; men&#233;es jusqu'&#224; aujourd'hui, elles ont toutes fait &#233;tat du caract&#232;re hydrat&#233; des protons &#233;mis.

Ces r&#233;sultats sont expliqu&#233;s par une dissociation ionique de l'eau sur le Pt et le Pd (report&#233;e en 2007 sur le Pt) associ&#233;e &#224; une r&#233;partition spatiale du champ &#233;lectrique (faible champ &#224; l'interface eau/vide), deux ph&#233;nom&#232;nes r&#233;sultant de la grande &#233;paisseur de la couche d'eau.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;dl class='spip_document_124 spip_documents spip_documents_center' &gt;

		&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;We examine the excitation of plasmonic resonances in arrays of periodically arranged gold nanoparticles placed in a uniform refractive index environment. Under a proper periodicity of the nanoparticle lattice, such nanoantenna arrays are known to exhibit narrow resonances with asymmetric Fano-type spectral line shape in transmission and reflection spectra having much better resonance quality compared to the single nanoparticle case. Using numerical simulations, we first identify two distinct regimes of lattice response, associated with two-characteristic states of the spectra : Rayleigh anomaly and lattice plasmon mode. The evolution of the electric field pattern is rigorously studied for these two states revealing different configurations of optical forces : the first regime is characterized by the concentration of electric field between the nanoparticles, yielding to almost complete transparency of the array, whereas the second regime is characterized by the concentration of electric field on the nanoparticles and a strong plasmon-related absorption/scattering. We present electric field distributions for different spectral positions of Rayleigh anomaly with respect to the single nanoparticle resonance and optimize lattice parameters in order to maximize the enhancement of electric field on the nanoparticles. Finally, by employing collective plasmon excitations, we explore possibilities for electric field enhancement in the region between the nanoparticles. The presented results are of importance for the field enhanced spectroscopy as well as for plasmonic bio and chemical sensing.
This work has been done in frame of the National Research Agency Nanobioplasmon project in collaboration with LP3 (Laser, Plasmas and Photonic Processes).

Mesocrystals are superstructures made of mutually oriented submicrometer or nanometer-size crystallites. Sclerites located inside the organic tissues of the red coral are complex-shaped 50&#8722;80 &#956;m large structures made of concentric layers of submicrometer crystallites of Mg-calcite. In a previous article (Am. Mineral. 2011, 96, 1228), we showed that sclerites are archetypes of bio-mesocrystals and that these structures can be twinned at mesoscale. In this new article, we put emphasis on the directions of growth : the tubercles of the sclerites extend along the &lt;481&#773;&gt; directions corresponding to the denser Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt;CO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt; 2&#8722;&lt;/sup&gt; chains of the most stable &lt;i class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;104&lt;/i&gt; planes of calcite. Each tubercle develops lobes, again along the &lt;481&#773;&gt; directions, indicating a dendritic like growth process in three-dimension. Though mutually oriented, crystallites are not perfectly similarly oriented but display progressive misorientations (up to &#177;15&#176;). These misorientations are not random : they are characterized by a rotation of the crystallites along each a axis orthogonal to the &lt;481&#773;&gt; direction and to the c axis. A crystallographic conceptual model based on the calcite rhombohedral structure is proposed and describes accurately the main properties of Corallium rubrum sclerites. In summary, both the morphology and the misorientation pattern of the sclerites are related to the rhombohedral symmetry of calcite.

		&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;As device miniaturization reaches technological limits, adding spin degree of freedom to the electron into conventional electronics appears as a promising solution and magnetic structures based on Ge are particularly believed to lead to a new generation of devices. In this work, published in Physical Review B, we have studied the reorientation of the magnetization in Mn5Ge3 thin films from in plane to out of plane as a function of the film thickness. We have shown that this transition occurs for a film thickness lying between 10 and 25 nm. Thinner films exhibit an in-plane magnetization with a very large domains' size. Above the critical thickness, domains with perpendicular anisotropy are more favorable and domains with opposite magnetizations are separated by a Boch-type domain wall as demonstrated in Figure 1. The experimental results are strongly supported by theoretical calculations performed by F. Virot and R. Hayn at the IM2NP, who have developed an improved version of Kittel's model to retranscribe the magnetic behavior of domains in uniaxial thin films. It is pointed out that this critical thickness is much smaller in Mn5Ge3 than in any conventional uniaxial thin film. From our calculations, the size of magnetic domains in Mn5Ge3 may also be considerably smaller than the one in any other known magnetic system. Furthermore, these domains can be tailored by the film thickness. The characteristics described in this paper highlight the potential applicability of Mn5Ge3 thin films, especially for the next generation of data-storage devices and the Si-Ge spin-based electronics.

In the domain walls, the magnetization points towards the same direction &#8722;y which explains the in-plane remanent magnetization. b) MFM image (0.5&#181;m x 0.5&#181;m) of the magnetic stripe domains in a 30 nm thick C-doped Mn5Ge3 film.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
To realize devices, Mn5Ge3 films have to be integrated in more complex structure such as for example a multilayer. This issue has been addressed in a recent work published in New Journal of Physics where we have evidenced an unusual phenomenon of surface reaction during Ge overgrowth on Mn5Ge3/Ge(111) heterostructures at high temperatures. Our results clearly indicate that any attempt to produce Ge/Mn5Ge3 multilayered structures should be carried out at temperatures below 450 &#176;C to prevent the Ge-Mn reaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The project &#8220;SYNINTER&#8221; (Smart interrogation of the immune synapse by nano-patterned and soft 3D substrates), directed by Kheya Sengupta, was recently awarded funding from ERC under the starting grants scheme. The project aims to design innovative substrates and suitable detection techniques to understand better the dynamics and spatial organization associated with inter-cellular adhesion in general and the immunological synapse in particular.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Abstract : This project aims to design innovative substrates and suitable detection techniques to understand better the dynamics and spatial organization found in the immunological synapse, with the ultimate goal of developing new diagnostic tools for sensitive detection of immune deficiency diseases that arise from faulty adhesion. The immunological synapse (IS), formed at the interface between a T-lymphocyte and an antigen presenting cell, has been the target of intense multidisciplinary research in the last decade. Its possible key role in a host of diseases of the immune system has motivated medical research whereas its assembly, arising partly from simple underlying thermodynamic and elastic considerations has fascinated physicists. However, may biological and biophysical questions on the IS still remain open &#8211; for example, while studies point to a crucial role for adhesion mediated by protein clusters for the stability and activity of the synapse, even the cluster size - micro or nano scale - remains contentious. Further more, in vivo, the synapse is formed in a soft 3D environment, whereas most in vitro experiments are on flat 2D surfaces. Clearly, one way to probe how the micro/nano environment encountered by T-cells influence the IS is by interrogating it with biomimetic artificial substrates that are soft, three dimensionally structured, and exhibit motifs of ligands and/or antigens down to the cluster length-scale. In this project, the influence of substrate compliance, geometry and ligand/antigen presentation on adhesion and activation will be studied. Advanced optical techniques will be developed for quantitative and dynamic mapping of proteins and the cell-cell interface topography. A novel addition to this tool-kit is going to be a combination of advanced fluorescence imaging and quantitative reflection interference contrast microscopy, the latter permitting characterization of adhesion of native cells without the need of a special labelling strategy. The advanced substrates and observation techniques developed here are expected to be useful not only in the field of immunology but also in other domains involving cell adhesion like cancerology and developmental biology.

Plus sp&#233;cifiquement il s'int&#233;resse &#224; l'&#233;laboration de nano-objets et &#224; leur assemblage, &#224; l'&#233;tude des propri&#233;t&#233;s fondamentales li&#233;es &#224; leur taille r&#233;duite et &#224; certaines de leurs applications.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Les nano-objets &#233;tudi&#233;s sont des mol&#233;cules ou des assemblages supramol&#233;culaires, des agr&#233;gats, des nanofils ou des nano-hybrides organiques/inorganiques. Leur &#233;laboration se fait par synth&#232;se organique, croissance sous ultravide ou en solution, ou encore par nanofabrication (FIB, nanolithographie&#8230;). Leur organisation &#224; 2 ou 3 dimensions se fait soit spontan&#233;ment (auto-assemblage) ou par croissance sur une surface nanostructur&#233;e. L'&#233;tude des surfaces et de leur nanostructuration est particuli&#232;rement d&#233;velopp&#233;e. Les nano-objets / nanomat&#233;riaux &#233;tudi&#233;s peuvent &#234;tre aussi d'origine naturelle (argiles, biomin&#233;raux, prot&#233;ines...) ou r&#233;sultant de l'activit&#233; humaine (suies d'avion).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;La caract&#233;risation des propri&#233;t&#233;s structurales, &#233;lectroniques, optiques et chimiques des nano-objets/ nanomat&#233;riaux est r&#233;alis&#233;e par un ensemble de techniques exp&#233;rimentales performantes (microscopie &#233;lectronique &#224; haute r&#233;solution, microscopies &#224; effet tunnel et &#224; force atomique en milieu ambiant ou sous ultra vide &#224; temp&#233;ratures variables, diffraction des rayons X, spectroscopie &#233;lectronique, spectroscopie optique r&#233;solue en temps ...) travaillant &#224; l'&#233;chelle d'un nano-objet isol&#233; ou d'une assembl&#233;e.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;La compr&#233;hension des ph&#233;nom&#232;nes nouveaux apparaissant dans les nano-objets et leurs assemblages n&#233;cessite des &#233;tudes th&#233;oriques et des simulations r&#233;alistes (calculs ab initio, dynamique mol&#233;culaire, simulation MonteCarlo) des syst&#232;mes &#233;tudi&#233;s.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Le CINaM s'int&#233;resse &#224; certaines applications des nano-objets et des nanomat&#233;riaux. Ces applications vont du domaine de la nano-&#233;lectronique &#224; la nano-m&#233;decine en passant par les sources d'&#233;nergie, la catalyse h&#233;t&#233;rog&#232;ne, les probl&#232;mes d'environnement. Pour r&#233;aliser des dispositifs &#224; partir de nano-objets/nanomat&#233;riaux il est n&#233;cessaire de les connecter. Pour cela le CINaM est &#233;quip&#233; d'une centrale de nanotechnologie avec une salle blanche de 200 m&#178; comprenant des outils de nanofabrication et de caract&#233;risation. Cette centrale est mise &#224; la disposition des laboratoires de la r&#233;gion dans le cadre du nouveau centre de comp&#233;tences en nanosciences et nanotechnologies : C'nano PACA.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Les chercheurs du CINaM sont bien implant&#233;s dans les structures de recherches r&#233;gionales (C'nano, CIMPACA, p&#244;les de Comp&#233;titivit&#233; &#8216;SCS' et &#8216;CAP-ENERGIE'&#8230;), nationales (GDR) et internationales (NOE, NMP, STRP, ESF, COST, PAI &#8230;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Le CINaM est aussi un centre de formation par la recherche accueillant des &#233;tudiants des &#233;coles doctorales &#8216;Science de la Mati&#232;re' et &#8216;Sciences Chimiques' ou encore des Ecoles d'Ing&#233;nieur.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Le CINaM a &#233;galement de nombreux contacts avec les industries r&#233;gionales et nationales dans plusieurs domaines ( mat&#233;riaux, micro&#233;lectronique, pharmacie&#8230;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
