Equipe: Chemical Physics and Dynamics of Surfaces

Team Permanent members: Romain Bernard, Hervé Cruguel, Geoffroy Prévot, Sébastien Royer, Nadine Witkowski The objective of the “Lames” project  is to develop a sputtering process compatible with lamellar layers of transition metal dichalcogenides, and...

Team Permanent members: Emmanuel Lhuillier, Yoann Prado, Hervé Cruguel Beyond graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) assembly into stack of 2D material, a key benefit of 2D atomically thin material is their ability to...

Team Permanent members: Romain Bernard, Yves Borensztein, Hervé Cruguel, Geoffroy Prévot, Sébastien Royer 2D-Xenes (where X = Si, Ge, Sn…) are a class of two-dimensional materials from the group IVA that possess electronic properties...

Team Permanent members: Sylvie Spagnoli, Marie-Claude Fauré, Michel Goldmann PhD Student: Maria Kandyli   Significant research activities are currently devoted to the development of biological and chemical sensors using molecular films made of diacetylene...

Team Permanent members: Michel Goldmann PhD student: Alexia Bintintzanos Graphene and ionic liquids are intensively studied, respectively as electrolyte and as electrode materials, for the development of supercapacitors. In this framework, the characterization between...

Team Permanent members: Marie-Claude Fauré, Michel Goldmann   The formation of metal–organic interface is an open question in material science with applications from colloïds (microcatalysis) to thin layers (microelectronics). In the radiolysis method, the irradiation...

Team Permanent members: Marie-Claude Fauré, Michel Goldmann Forming a Langmuir film by deposing a solution on the surface of the water subphase is the standard procedure which has been shown to be effective with most...

Team Permanent members: Marie-Claude Fauré, Michel Goldmann PhD Student: Pedro Silva The physics behind Langmuir films seemed understood since the publication of the generic phase diagram describing all the phases observed with “simple” molecules. However,...

Team Permanent members: Emmanuelle Lacaze, Sébastien Royer PhD Students: Lamia Essaoui, Caterina Tosarelli, Xintao Zheng Liquid crystal topological defects are among condensed matter topological defects the easiest to control for a deep study of defect...

Team Permanent members: Emmanuelle Lacaze, Sébastien Royer, Michel Goldmann Liquid crystal topological defects are among condensed matter topological defects the easiest to control for a deep study of defect structure and properties. We know now...
