Laboratory Days 2022
On the Normandy coast, at the foot of the dunes of Merville Franceville, the MPQ laboratory days took place from Monday, May 30th to Wednesday, June 1st, 2022. The MPQ days, organized by Sandrine, Adrien, Zakari, and Nathalie, were a wonderful moment of camaraderie...
Hybrid heterostructures for spintronics
Spintronics is a quantum technology that aims to add the quantum spin degree of freedom to conventional CMOS electronics. Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1988 by Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg, considered the birth of this field, spintronics has...
Addressing a molecule with a unique spin transition in a 2D lattice
Spin-transition molecules exhibiting bistability are particularly interesting for the development of innovative electronic and spintronic devices, as they exhibit two spin states that can be controlled by external stimuli. Figure:a) Diagram of voltage pulse...
Supraconductivity Thematic Days of the GDR Meetic
Two thematic days on superconductivity, as part of the GDR Meetic, are being organized on December 6th and 7th by Y. Gallais, M. Cazayous, A. Sacuto (MPQ), and D. Colson (CEA-Saclay). They will take place in the Buffon amphitheater at the University of Paris (15 Rue...
High-Tc superconductivity highlighted in “Reflets de la physique”
The SQUAP team has published an article, coordinated by Alain Sacuto, in the Reflets de la Physique journal of the French Physical Society (SFP). Reflets de la physique Levitation of a magnet sandwiched between two YBa2Cu3O7 superconductor pellets cooled to the...
Cristiano Ciuti elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS)
Prof. Cristiano Ciuti, head of the MPQ laboratory, has been elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). Cristiano CiutiHe receives this prestigious recognition “for pioneering theoretical work on the quantum electrodynamics of strongly-coupled photons and...
A light-controlled mechanical frequency comb
Through optomechanical experiments in a semiconductor micro-resonator, researchers from the DON team of the MPQ laboratory, in collaboration with the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, have shown that a coupling between different forms of energy can give rise...
