Km Rubi and Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen and Walter Escoffier, LNCMI Toulouse. A team of researchers from HFML-Nijmegen, LNCMI-Toulouse, and the National University of Singapore investigated the electronic properties of the quasi two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at a new 5d-oxide heterointerface, LaAlO3/KTaO3. The team induced high-mobility carriers at the interface [...]
Ivan Breslavetz and Clément Faugeras, LNCMI Grenoble. To flesh out the phase diagrams of novel material systems, researchers must examine these materials under extreme conditions. We have designed an experimental setup for optical spectroscopy that simultaneously offers three extremes: low temperature, a strong magnetic field, and high pressure imposed by [...]
Published on Feb 15, 2022. Hi. I’m Aimée Savourey. I started my one-year contract with CNRS at the beginning of 2022 as an Industrial Liaison Officer for the ISABEL European Project. I’m based in LNCMI-Toulouse. Before that, I was an R&D engineer in different industrial research centers. After my PhD [...]
Paragraf™ has leveraged its expertise in the manufacturing & implementation of graphene technology to make another major advance in Hall-sensor performance. The company has announced the availability of a new sensor range capable of unmatched sensitivity and linearity when placed in low-temperature environments and in strong magnetic fields. Tested at [...]
Rolf Pfister, Michael Kamke, Eric Verney, Mickaël Pelloux, Eyub Yildiz, Luc Ronayette, and Pierre Pugnat, LNCMI Grenoble. The hybrid magnet, combining resistive and superconducting technologies and that is under construction at LNCMI-Grenoble, has reached important milestones in 2021 despite the Covid-19 sanitary crisis. After a thorough preparation phase, we successfully [...]
Raivo Stern, NICPB Tallinn. After the cancellation of the user meeting in 2020 due to the worldwide pandemic shutdown, the EMFL and its user community adopted to the “new reality” and gathered online for its annual user meeting for 2021. The high participation of up to 140 people showed the [...]
Toni Helm, HLD Dresden. Currently, a group of semimetals excites the physics community due to its intriguing properties derived from massless chiral particles— so-called Weyl fermions. As a consequence of linear band crossings at the Fermi energy and a high Fermi velocity, massless Weyl states can be the origin of [...]
Jérôme Béard, LNCMI Toulouse. We have designed a novel pulsed magnetic dipole, called foil coil, which can deliver a transverse magnetic field of more than 10 T along a 0.85 m optical access operating without cryogenic equipment. This magnet is dedicated to linear magnetic birefringence measurements in the framework of [...]
Jake Ayres, University of Bristol, Maarten Berben and Nigel Hussey, HFML Nijmegen. Researchers from HFML-EMFL, UK, Netherlands, and Japan studied the high-field magnetotransport properties of overdoped high-Tc cuprates and found behavior that is strikingly different from that of ordinary metals. For the latter, the resistivity increases quadratically with temperature and [...]
Piotr Kapuściński and Marek Potemski, LNCMI Grenoble. Strong Coulomb correlations together with multi-valley electronic bands in the presence of spin-orbit interaction are at the heart of studies of the rich physics of excitons in semiconductor structures made of monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These archetypes of two-dimensional systems promise the [...]
