Program

1519june

J. Billy (LCAR), B. Urbaszek (LPCNO)

This week of the NanoX school will be dedicated to Quantum Technologies and the participants will follow lectures and laboratory classes. In this school Quantum Technologies will be introduced through the main technological platforms such as cold atoms, solid state qubits and nano-photonics. The target is to get a practical understanding of how quantum states of atoms, electrons and photons can be controlled in experiments and the possibilities that they offer for future quantum technology applications.

This week will be dedicated to Si-based CMOS technology. To go beyond Si classical technology, a promising approach consists in integrating Si nanocrystals in thin silica. When a limited number of Si-NCs are electrically addressed, Coulomb blockade at room temperature, charge quantization, and single electron transfer become possible. Using our clean room facilities, each participant will manufacture electronic device with embedded Si nanocrystals, and measure the electronic properties, in the perspective of non-volatile flash memories or silicon-based optoelectronics.

The modeling week of the NanoX summer-school will focus on state-of-the-art quantum chemical methods with the view to demonstrate their applicability to tackle various chemical questions. These include Green-function-based methods, reactivity in the ground and excited states as well as advanced tools for molecular dynamics. Combining theoretical and practical courses, the target will be to assimilate the theoretical basis of these methods and their range of application, going from material for energy storage and molecular switches to catalysis and spectroscopy, to learn how they can be applied to anyone’s research project.

R. Axet (LCC), K. Soulantika (LPCNO)

This week will be dedicated to Nanocatalysis with a special focus in practical courses. The courses will cover colloidal as well as supported nanoparticles, in batch and continuous flow reactors. The emergent domains of single atom catalysts and magnetically induced catalysis will be also be treated. Finally, catalyst characterization by Transmission Electron Microscopy, and X-Ray techniques will complete the training.

  • Magnetically induced catalysis : tandem lecture by Bruno CHAUDRET and Julian CARREY followed by practical courses
  • Single atom catalysts : lecture by Philippe SERP
  • Introduction to nanocatalysis and metal-based nanocatalysts in liquid phase: reactivity and mechanistic studies : lecture by Montserrat GOMEZ followed by practical courses;
  • Ruthenium based catalysis using colloidal nanoparticles : lecture by Rosa AXET followed by practical courses.
  • Structural analysis of catalysts by X-Ray techniques and Transmission Electron Microscopy : tandem lecture by Guillaume VIAU and Pier-Francesco FAZZINI followed by practical courses)

Keywords: colloidal nanoparticles, supported nanoparticles, magnetic induced catalysis, single atoms, XRD, WAXS, TEM

At the end of the courses the participants will have acquired skills on catalyst preparation, reaction kinetics monitoring, interpretation of TEM, HRTEM, EDX, XRD, WAXS data. The use of high-pressure autoclaves and continuous flow reactors will also be demonstrated.

M. Respaud (AIME)

This week will be dedicated to sensor technologies. Each participant will manufacture a chemical sensor. This course, in a chemical room and clean room, gives a complete practical approach of the bottom up approach applied to the chemical synthesis and the integration of semi-conducting metal oxide nanoparticles (WO3) to build up the sensitive layer. It deals with all the operations that are used to manufacture functional devices, as well the measure of gas sensitivity. The goal is to show how nanometric objects can be chemically produced, and integrated to get low cost sensors.
