Single NANO-object for studying the interaction between acoustic VIbration and Plasmon : towards Low Frequency Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
This proposal aims to study the dynamical behaviours of single nanoparticles ranging from 50 to 250 nm. The realization of this project will first need the development of a new technique to study sing
Tomographic Atom Probe and Optical specTroscopy: a couplEd appRoach
The main goal of this project is the development of a new instrument coupling the capabilities of Atom Probe Tomography (APT) and optical spectroscopy, in particular photoluminescence and absorption s
Confined fluids under time varying tribological conditions
Nowadays, mechanical systems are optimized in steady-state conditions for which lubrication mechanisms are generally well known. However, most of friction losses and wear occur under time-varying operating conditions. The latter induce interfacial dynamic phenomena associated with the complex rheological behaviour of the confined lubricant or molecular reorganization that are not yet explained.

Dopamine: promising building block for the conception of innovative polymer materials
This project is based on the versatility of the dopamine molecule which is widely present in Nature. The specificity of this building block lies in the fact that its several reactive sites allow the elaboration of a wide range of original polymer materials.<br />Then, multiresponsive nanoobjects are built in aqueous media and will be able to encapsulate different hydrophobic compounds (drugs,...). By applying different clean stimuli, the encapsulated compound might be delivered on demand.<br /><br />
Intertwined Electron and Proton Hopping: Synergistic experimental and theoretical approaches
Electron and proton transfers (resp. ET and PT) are ubiquitous chemical reactions in the condensed phase. Both kinds of transfers are actually frequently interwoven in common chemical processes and are associated with a multitude of limiting physicochemical mechanisms.<br />the principal objective of the IEPH project to lift the current methodological locks that have precluded a fine understanding of PET reactions in terms of elementary processes.
