Research activities

The research activities of the PPNa team are focused on the study of the relationship between the structure and the physical properties (e.g., optical, electrical, mechanical properties) of new nanostructured materials synthesized using physical approaches (ionic bombardment, physical vapor deposition – PVD -, powder metallurgy). Our main interests are, on the one hand, the understanding of the elementary processes governing the formation of these materials, which can be thin films, bulk nanostructured systems, surfaces or 2D materials; and on the other hand, the modelization and the control of their properties in order to optimize their functionalities. These activities are based on two main topics:

 

Growth and properties of nanostructured thin films

Key words: metallic thin films, nanoparticles, nanowires, functional oxide thin films,

optoelectronic properties, plasmonic properties

 

Nanolamellar conducting ceramics (MAX phases) and 2D derivatives (MXenes)

Key words: functionalization, solid solutions, electronic structure, optoelectronic properties,

mechanical properties, oxidation, implantation

 

In this context, we develop new experimental and numerical approaches based on the complementary skills and expertise of the different members of the team. These developments include innovative nanofabrication/synthesis processes, the design of original experimental devices, as well as the elaboration of numerical simulation codes. The team has now a recognized expertise in the synthesis of various MAX phases, as well as in the control of nanoparticles and thin films growth processes using in situ and real time characterization techniques coupled to ultra-high vacuum deposition systems or synchrotron beam lines. In addition, the study of the structural properties - up to the (sub)nanometer scale – and the physical properties relies on a whole range of ex situ analysis tools including local imaging techniques such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) or electron microscopies (TEM/STEM, SEM), electron or x-ray based diffraction or spectroscopy technics (e.g., EELS, EF-ED, EDXS, WDS, XRD, XRR, GISAXS), as well as optical spectroscopies (e.g., ellipsometry, spectrophotometry) and electric characterizations (Hall effect, I(V), C(V)). For the quantitative interpretation of the experimental data, we make use of different kinds of simulation approaches going from first principles techniques based on DFT, molecular dynamics simulations (MD), kinetic Monte-Carlo (kMC) or electromagnetic simulations using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD).

 

Elaboration / synthesis
  • For the synthesis of bulk samples - dense or porous -, we have a whole range of powder metallurgy techniques including a hot isostatic press (HIP) and a sintering furnace.

Structural and chemical characterizations
The structural/microstructural and chemical characterization techniques available in the lab include:
 
  • These lab techniques are regularly coupled to Synchrotron experiments (Soleil, ESRF) with especially a strong expertise in Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS).

Physical properties
The physical properties characterization facilities include:
 
  • optical properties from IR to UV (ellipsometry, spectrophotometry)
  • electrical properties (resistivity, Hall effect)

Numerical methodes
The numerical methodes that we use include:
 
  • Electronic structure as well as molecular dynamics calculations based on density functional theory. Such simulations can be performed thanks to the supercomputer facilities of the meso-centre de calcul de Poitou Charentes.
  • kinetic Monte-Carlo calculations with the development of "in house" codes.
  • Electromagnetic simulations using the finite-difference time-domaine method (FDTD).
