The research activity of the team is focused on the link between structure and reactivity of mono- and bimetallic supported clusters with the aim to bridge the “material” and “pressure” gaps in heterogeneous catalysis. Two types of clusters are studied. The first ones (from few atoms to 4 nm) are synthesized by UHV deposition of

The administrative and financial service regroups three departments: administration and human resources, financial management and logistics. The Department of Financial Management oversees allocation of the laboratory’s budget, including spending due to research grants, assignments overseas, etc. The Department of Administration and Human Resources is responsible for processing the contracts of permanent and non-permanent staff, including

The service designs and manufactures the instruments needed by the research teams and common services, performs electrical measurements for sample characterization, maintains existing devices and develops parts or all of the software used for piloting experiments. It is open primarily to members of the laboratory, but external users may also benefit from its human and

The research team “Functional Nanomaterials” (FUN) is internationally recognized for its multidisciplinary expertise in the development of opto-electronic and plasmonic nanomaterials, deep studying of transport and morphology at nanoscale as wel as solution processing of corresponding devices including organic solar cells and photodetectors, hybrid LEDs, gaz sensors and transistors. The designed materials are mostly nanocomposite

The research activities of the “Molecular Engineering and Functional Materials” department (IMMF) stand at the interface of chemistry-physics-biology and focus on the synthesis, the physico-chemical characterization and the property studies of organic, inorganic and/or hybrid molecular structures. These activities are divided around three research themes:   Nanomedicine Biomaterials   Vectorization   Bioimaging / Diagnostic  

Les activités de recherche du département NM couvrent un large spectre allant de la recherche fondamentale au développement de matériaux innovants. L’activité du département s’appuie sur une large expertise en méthodes de caractérisation et d’élaboration.   Matériaux 2D et hétérostructures   Matériaux 2D Réseaux supramoléculaires, matériaux 2D post-graphène, hétérostructures de van der Waals (L.

How does the local inform and condition the global: what role does localisation play in physical, chemical, biological or even societal mechanisms? How does its study contribute to a deeper fundamental understanding and to applications on a macroscopic scale? This is the question we address in our various subjects: We aim at mastering phenomena with

We are a department of physics of biological systems, and engineering for biology, health and the environment. We build bridges between physical and biological sciences, and study the interaction of biological objects with their physical environment, building new tools to do so. An overarching motivation is to find out how small variations at a local

The research activity of the Theory and Numerical Simulation (TSN) department is mainly based on theoretical and numerical simulation aspects applied to solid state physics and materials science. The TSN department, like CINaM laboratory, is interested in multiple classes of materials for energy (materials for nuclear, thermal energy collection or photovoltaic applications, functional concrete), optical

The second research topic focuses on the physics of quantum phenomena that take place in materials, such as optical luminescence, effective magnetic interactions, magneto-elastic and magneto-electric couplings, electronic and spin transport, magnetic excitations, etc. Our research activity is focused on three main research lines: linear and non-linear optical properties of bulk materials and nanostructures; electronic
