  Team: Permanent staff: Maurizio Sacchi, Yunlin Zheng, Franck Vidal Post-doc: Pietro Carrara ANR project HELIMAG (AttoLab, INSP, Synchrotron SOLEIL, Institut d’Optique, Spintec)   In addition to the spin angular momentum (SAM) associated to...

Team Permanent members: Benoît Eble, Sophie Hameau, Florent Margaillan   When defects are present in a crystalline solid, they break the translational symmetry of the lattice and new electronic and optical properties appear. The...

This time-resolved Kerr effect device (pump-probe) allows a measurement of the three dynamic components of the magnetization over a 12ns window, under field and cold. It is coupled to a polarized imaging device which...

Reflection polarization microscope for imaging magnetic domains by magneto-optical Kerr effect Contact-cooled sample in an Oxford Microstat BT HiRes II pillar cryostat (4-300 K) Various light sources: filtered white lamp, LED, continuous laser (Ti-sapphire,...

Microphotoluminescence and excitation scanning imaging. The device includes: a Spectra-Physics solid-state laser source (composed of a Millenia pump laser, a Ti-Sapphire laser, an OPO and doublers) covering the entire visible wavelength range and delivering...

Team Permanent members: Mathieu Bernard, Benoît Eble, Richard Hostein (My Cryo Firm Company), Florent Margaillan, Valia Voliotis Quantum dots based on semiconductor materials are systems of choice to define robust quantum bits, in particular...

Team Permanent member: François Dubin Researcher Emeritus: Monique Combescot Composite bosons model systems like excitons in semiconductor heterostructures are also investigated. After the demonstration of Bose-Einstein condensation with indirect excitons in our group, the...
