Laboratoire Structures, Propriétés, Modélisation des Solides (SPMS)/ Advanced Ferroics

Research team

Description

This team is interested in functional oxydes having properties regulated by electric polarisation, mechanic elasticity. Our objective is:
- to discover and develop new materials at different scale ( crystals, ceramic, thin film, nanowire, nanocomposite, hetero-structures....)
- to study new potential applications in the field of electronics (ferroelectric memories, acustic filters, spin electronics...), energy (mechanic energy recovery, electronic storage, photovoltaic...), oil and life science.
- to better understand the microscopic mechanisms (electromechanic coupling, magnetoelectric, photoelectric...) with the aim of understanding the properties and predict the behaviour. This research is based on cutting-edge technology, from the synthesis and the nanostructure to the modeling, characterizing the materials with a wide variety of characterisation techniques. The group develops partnership with known industrial groups (Thales, STMicroelectronics, Ferroperm, Schiumberger...)
