PLUM
Physics – Light – Material (PLUM)
Our department’s research efforts are focused on the elaboration of materials at scales ranging from bulk to nano, the structural and physical studies of these materials (optical, magneto-electric, etc.), and their use in the fields of energy, information technology – conventional or quantum – or power electronics components.
MCBT
Condensed Matter – Low Temperatures (MCBT)
The research in our department is focused on new states of condensed matter and involves both theoretical work and experimental techniques at low temperatures. The condensed phases of 3He and 4He are explored as model systems for topological matter and turbulence.
QUEST
QUantic Electronics, Surfaces and spinTronics (QUEST)
The research activity in the QUEST department is focussed on the study of surfaces and interfaces, individual quantum objects and topological matter. This activity covers all aspects from system nanofabrication to the study of their electronic and magnetic properties as well as modelling.
