Equipe: Chemical Physics and Dynamics of Surfaces

In the framework of a partnership with the Laboratoire de Chimie-Physique Matière et Rayonnement (LCPMR) and the Laboratoire de Réactivité de Surfaces (LRS), of Sorbonne University, the team manages an environmental scanning tunneling microscope...

  Device fabrication using clean room and air free processing in glove box We benefit from INSP clean room, as well as access to « Paris centre clean room consortium » giving us access to optical,...

Two high level optical microscopes are in operation. One of them combines polarized optical microscopy with the possibility of phase contrast, fluorescence microscopy and absorption spectroscopy with extended range of wavelength, from UV-visible to...

Team Permanent members: Hervé Cruguel, Sébastien Royer, Nadine Witkowski PhD students: Dylan Amelot, Mariam Ahmad, Azmat Ali The goal of this research activity is to study the electronic structure of interfaces in organic and...
