Physique en fête, du scolaire au grand public...

Tout un programme pour les lycéens accueillis durant 2 jours. Ils ont appréhendé la diversité des recherches effectuées au sein de l’Institut Néel : des propriétés de la matière au zéro absolu en passant par les différents états du carbone et les microscopies. Samedi 14 octobre, l’Institut Néel a donné rendez-vous au grand public : ateliers pour enfants, stands, visites "découverte"... Une journée qui a su ravir le public venu en nombre ! Photo

Probing the anisotropy of optical fibres by Third Harmonic Generation

An optical fibre is a fantastic tool for confining light over a huge distance, especially in modern telecommunications. We now have available a broad range of optical fibres for diverse uses. For most applications, any effect that modifies the polarization of the light propagating in the fibre must be avoided. Full text.

Microtransfer setup for assembling smart stacks

Recent, innovatory 2-Dimensional materials, such as graphene (a monolayer of carbon atoms) or transition metal di-chalcogenides (MoS2, WSe2...), can be assembled into a variety of heterostructures. These socalled “van der Waals” structures are opening up new fields for exploratory physics and applications. At the Institut NÉEL, we have developed a micro-transfer platform with a lateral mechanical-alignment precision of order one micron, which we use for making stacks of different 2D exfoliated materials.
