Welcome to C’Nano Rhône-Alpes competence center

C’Nano missions

Organize regional research

Be the correspondent with european programs (NanoSci-Era) and a place of discussion and exchange for national ANR calls.
Set up and facilitate the access to fabrication and characterization plateforms for the Rhône-Alpes community and beyond.
Define priorities and coordinate the actions of the different regional entities.

Promote scientific communication and animation between

research laboratories and disciplianry communites. Topical workshops and regional conferences are organized regularly, the most visible one being the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology days in Rhoône-Alpes which attract more thant two hundred participant each years.
Scientists and students through trainings and conferences in high schools and universities.
Scientists and the general public through science exhibits and fairs, medias communications and public debates.

Le Si Dang, 2010 Laureate of the "Gentner-Kastler" prize, 11 March 2010: Le Si Dang, of the NPSC group at the Institute Neel is the 2010 laureate of the Gentner-Kastler prize for his contributions to the study of polaritons in low-dimensionnal semiconductors and highlighting of their Bose-Einstein. This quantum state inside a solid is of considerable importance in physics. These studies are exceptional contributions to fundamental research and to semiconductor physics. The "Gentner-Kastler" prize is awarded jointly by the German Physical Society and the French (...)

7th France-Japan workshop on Nanoscience and Nanomaterials, 1 August 2007

INTRODUCTION Controlling the properties and behaviour of matter at the smallest scale, in other words “domesticating” atoms and molecules, can help to overcome some of the world’s biggest challenges in the future and affect almost every aspect of the economy.

4th bilateral Franco-Russian conference on Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies , 31 July 2007

This workshop will be centered on the following topics

Molecular Electronics (Nanotubes and Nanorods)
Spintronics and Nanomagnetism
Nanophotonics

The first two areas have already been topics for bilateral scientific collaborations in previous meetings, whereas the third one represent a new direction for scientific exchanges between French and Russian groups. The scientific program of the meeting will include experimental and theoretical contributions of the main scientists involved in both one of the above field with existing (or potential) collaboration with their counter-part in the other country. A special effort to have some PhD students from both sides attend the meeting is planned.

The meeting will take place in Autrans (Isère) from October 10th to October 12th 2007, with 2,5 days of seminars and discussions, plus half-a-day for the visit of the Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies Labs in Grenoble.

Microwave control of transport nanoscopic structures, 11 January 2007

We are seeking an active, enthusiastic individual to investigate "ratchet" in Galton-board with a two-dimensional electron gas in a superlattice of micron size antidots. The theory predicts appearance of strong current induced by microwave fields. This opens new prospects for high frequency control of transport in presence of dissipation and chaos at nanoscale.

Superconductors and the Josephson effect through atoms and molecules, 8 October 2006: Electronic transport through a single atom is already a reality. When connected to superconductors, atoms form Josephson junction which can carry a super-current. Its amplitude is set by the number of conducting atomic orbitals (channels) and their transmission coefficients. These numbers are sometimes called the junction PIN (Personal Identification Number) code.

Nano-SQUID controlled by carbon nanotubes, 8 October 2006: A SQUID is a superconducting interferometer device. Usually, it consist of a loop with two Josepson junctions. SQUID devices can be used to monitor infinitesimally small magnetic fields or currents. The originality of this work, is to use gate-tunable carbon-nanotubes (CNT) for the Josephson junctions. The device combines features of single electron transistors with typical properties of a SQUID interferometer. The gate tunability of the CNT junctions enhance the sensitivity of the device which can in principle detect the spin of a single molecule.

What is nano ?, 30 September 2006: In ancient Grece « νανος » (nanos) refers to the world of dwarves. In this miniature world, objects are already complex assemblies of many atoms.

Appel à projets: plateformes bottom-up, 15 June 2010

Suite à la réunion du bureau C’Nano de l’automne 2009, il a été décidé de mettre l’accent sur les techniques de fabrication par voie ascendante. Ces techniques, actuellement en plein essor, sont portées par des équipes de recherche et utilisent des savoirs faire spécifiques.
