3. “Seeing” electrochemical growth of ultra-thin metal films

Ultra-thin metallic films have attracted considerable interest in many scientific fields, including physics, chemistry and biology. They have numerous industrial applications, in catalysis, nano-electronics, coatings in metallurgy, surfaces of implants in medicine... The technique of grazing incidence X-Ray diffraction is well adapted for elucidating the surface structure and morphology of such films at the atomic scale. Full text.

Nanoscale nonlinear plasmonics

Integrating quantum-optics devices is one of the main challenges for the next decade especially in view of microprocessor-scale quantum computing. This requires taking experiments that are done today on an optical table and downsizing them to a few hundred nanometres, the equivalent to what was done in the past century for transistors.
