International Workshop "Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of 1D condensates"

Isabelle Bouchoule from LCFIO and Alberto Amo from LPN organise the workshop "Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of 1D condensates". Financed by Triangle de la Physique, it will take place at Institut d'Optique, May 16 and 17, 2013.

Epitaxial Graphene on 4H-SiC(0001) Grown under Nitrogen Flux: Evidence of Low Nitrogen Doping and High Charge Transfer (ACS Nano, Nov. 2012)

Nitrogen doping of graphene is of great interest for both fundamental research to explore the effect of dopants on a 2D electrical conductor and applications such as lithium storage, composites, and nanoelectronic devices.

2012 CNRS silver medal awarded to Jean-Christophe Harmand

Silver Medal of the CNRS distinguishes a researcher for the originality, the quality and the importance of his work, recognized nationally and internationally.
Along with his collegues of LPN, Jean-Christophe Harmand has devoted his research to semiconductor nanowires since 2005.

Polariton condensates reveal magnetic monopole behaviour (Nature Physics, Nov. 2012)

Researchers of LPN have shown that magnetic monopole analogues can be nucleated in a polariton condensate in semiconductor microcavities.

Optical non-linearity for few-photon pulses in a quantum dot/pillar cavity device (PRL, Oct. 2012)

Large-Area and High-Quality Epitaxial Graphene on Off-Axis SiC Wafers (ACS Nano 2012)

Graphitization of SiC vicinal: A step toward Graphene technology.

A step towards the knowledge of electricity quantum laws (Nature Physics 2011)

What are the quantum laws of electricity in mesoscopic circuits? That is the question that raise the Quantum Transport group at the LPN.

Pascale Senellart, ERC Starting Grant awarded in 2011

For the research project 'QD-CQED' (A quantum dot in a cavity: A solid state platform for quantum operations).

Frédéric Pierre, ERC Starting Grant awarded in 2010

For the research project 'NANOSPEC' (Novel Out-of-Equilibrium Spectroscopy Techniques to Explore and Control Quantum Phenomena in Nanocircuits).

Frédéric Pierre, CNRS Bronze Medalist for 2008

The CNRS Bronze Medal recognizes a researcher's first work, which makes that person a specialist with talent in a particular field. This medal is a way for the CNRS to encourage the researcher to continue work that has met with initial success and already produced fruitful results.

The French Physics Society (Société Française de Physique) awards the Yves Rocard Prize for 2007 to Jacques Gierak

The Yves Rocard Prize was created in 1992. It rewards successful technology transfers between a research laboratory and a company.

Jacques Gierak, CNRS Cristal medalist for 2003

The CNRS Cristal Prize, started in 1992, honors each year engineers, technical and administrative staff.

Anne Pépin, CNRS Bronze Medalist for 2003

Dominique Mailly, CNRS Silver Medalist for 2002

The CNRS Silver Medal honors researchers who are only at the beginning of their rise to fame, but who are already recognized nationally and internationally for the originality, quality, and importance of their work.
