Igor Vinograd and Marc-Henri Julien, LNCMI Grenoble. The ubiquity of charge-density waves (CDW) in cuprate superconductors is now well established, but the mechanism responsible for their formation remains debated. The generic aspects of the microscopic structure of the CDW are not settled yet. In this work, we used 17O nuclear [...]
Matija Čulo, Salvatore Licciardello, and Nigel Hussey, HFML. Researchers from HFML, UK, USA, and Japan have carried out a detailed magnetotransport study of the electronic nematic superconductor FeSe1-xSx that reveals key signatures of the so-called ‘strange metal’ behavior in vicinity of its nematic quantum critical point (QCP) xс ≈ 0.17. [...]

I was hired by CNRS at the beginning of 2021, as European Project Manager in charge of SuperEMFL, a Horizon2020 project coordinated by LNCMI. Since I arrived in Grenoble from Milan in 2015, I have worked in [...]
The organising committee looks forward to welcome you to the 35th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS) to be held Sunday 26 June – Friday 1 July 2022 at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), Australia. This biennial meeting is the premier forum for reporting all aspects [...]

© Štěpán Sechovský The Materials Growth and Measurement Laboratory (MGML) is a large research infrastructure operated by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, in cooperation with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The main research focus is condensed matter physics and materials sciences. More [...]
Tatsuya Yanagisawa, Hokkaido University and Sergei Zherlitsyn, HLD Dresden. Researchers from Japan and the Czech Republic, together with scientists from the HLD, have succeeded in identifying that electric quadrupoles play an important role in the magnetic order of the honeycomb-layer compound UNi4B. The scientists showed that these quadrupoles maintain their [...]
Banan Kerdi, Mathieu Pierre, Michel Goiran, and Walter Escoffier, LNCMI Toulouse. Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are two-dimensional layered materials showing intriguing electronic properties, especially when thinned down to a single layer. We studied WSe2 monolayers fabricated at LNCMI-Toulouse through transport measurements. We measured the magnetoresistance at 4.2 K under pulsed magnetic [...]
Dmitri Yakovlev and Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen. For a few decades, colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have been the focus of intensive research. Due to the continuous progress in technology, nanocrystals with different sizes, shapes, compositions, and surface properties have been synthesized. Understanding their optical, electrical, and chemical properties has led to [...]
Sanu Mishra, Albin Demuer, Ilya Sheikin, LNCMI Grenoble, and Dai Aoki, Tohoku University. Strongly correlated electron systems, such as high-temperature superconductors, iron-based superconductors, and heavy-fermion compounds, are of high experimental and theoretical interest. In these materials, unconventional superconductivity is believed to emerge near a quantum critical point. In addition, some [...]
