(site in French only) STM and AFM research of nanostructured surfaces and their mechanical properties.
This interdisciplinary master programme in physics, chemistry and biology, equips students with in-depths knowledge in their field of study while they are being immersed in an exceptional research environment: the international scientific community of Grenoble which includes the UJF laboratories, the Grenoble INP, the CEA Grenoble, the CNRS and major research centers such as the synchrotron (ESRF) and the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL).
The Micro & Nanotechnology specialty trains professionals and researchers with a good knowledge of industrial applications of microsystems and nanosciences: characterization, manufacturing & integration.
Research in th group includes: Functionnal Liquid Crystals; Polymers and Elastomers; Dendrimers; Molecular Photonics; Colloides; Fullerenes; Thin Films and Nanostructures.
The scientific projects are centered around the study of the self- assembly of complex supramolecular architectures at surfaces, their nanomanipulation with Scanning Probe Microscopies and their use for the development of prototypes of (supra)molecular nanodevices operating at surfaces.
At IPCMS, the Group of Nonlinear Optics is involved in several studies in Photonics, trying to open new ways for tomorrow's applications. The group is developing and exploring the potentials of spin photonics with the objectives of processing information at 100 GHz and 1 Terabits/square inch.
Taking a top-down approach to nanoscience.
The main promising applications are forecast in the fields of optical interconnects in CMOS integrated circuits and optical communications, where silicon can provide low cost solutions. Strong potential also exists in the development of silicon nanostructures for biophotonics. Studies in this field have been performed for many years in this group (MINAPHOT). They mainly work on the design, the fabrication of test devices in our cleanroom and the characterization.
The STEM Group is a world leading electron microscopy group. Research areas include nanotubes and nanostructures, computational nanoscience, and electromagnetic response of nano-objects.
Concerned with the studies and developments of condensed matter, using experimental and theoretical tools, with a strong development towards low dimensionality systems involving new nanophysics and nanotechnology concepts.
