Equipe: Low-dimensional oxides

In addition to the atomic simulation codes implemented by the group’s theoreticians, the experimenters have developed specific tools for the analysis of certain measurements. The links below will allow you to download the corresponding...

Semi-empirical and ab initio type atomic calculations, based on density functional theory or Hartree-Fock are combined with molecular dynamics, global optimisation and kinetic Monte-Carlo. One specificity of the theoretical approach of the group is to...

Vibrational spectroscopy is a key technique to probe adsorption sites of molecules, their configurations, transient reaction states and mechanisms of molecule/substrate interaction. This all the more true in the context of surface reactivity of...

  Nanopowders, agglomerates of ultrafine nanoparticles or nanoclusters, are of great scientific interest because they are a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. Various preparation techniques such as metal combustion, chemical...

The HREELS spectroscopy (High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy) consists in analysing both in energy and direction electron back reflected by a surface irradiated by a beam of mono-kinetic electrons the energy of which...

Two home-made vessels are dedicated to the analysis of surfaces and thin films of oxides in ultra-high vacuum environment. They allow for most of the surface science techniques and more specifically, they combine the...
