SUMMARY:Soutenance de Thèse de Antoine CURÉ (IRIG / Symmes)
DESCRIPTION:Vers des copolymères à blocs donneur-accepteur π-conjugués à structure et composition précisément définies : caractérisation avancée et stratégies de synthèse\nRésumé : \nDans un contexte mondial de crise énergétique et de raréfaction des ressources fossiles\, la transition vers les énergies renouvelables constitue un enjeu majeur. Parmi elles\, l’énergie photovoltaïque occupe une place importante. Cependant\, alors que les panneaux solaires au silicium approchent de leurs limites en rendement et en coûts de production\, l’émergence de solutions complémentaires devient nécessaire. Les cellules solaires organiques constituent une alternative intéressante\, avec des rendements atteignant 21 % dans des conditions standard en laboratoire en 2026. Elles présentent également de bonnes performances en lumière diffuse et offrent un potentiel de production à faible coût de dispositifs flexibles et recyclables. Toutefois\, leur stabilité à long terme reste un obstacle à leur industrialisation. La couche active\, composée d’un donneur (polymère) et d’un accepteur (petite molécule)\, subit au cours du temps une séparation de phase qui dégrade les performances. Malgré les progrès réalisés avec les accepteurs polymères\, la viabilité à long terme de ces dispositifs reste à démontrer. ​​​​\n​ Depuis le début des années 2020\, les matériaux monocomposants sont sérieusement envisagés comme une solution à ces problèmes d’instabilité. Contrairement aux mélanges tout-polymères\, ils reposent sur des copolymères à blocs reliant de manière covalente les segments donneurs et accepteurs\, limitant leur mobilité relative et la ségrégation de phase. Si les premières études rapportent des résultats encourageants\, leur structure et leurs propriétés thermiques restent encore mal comprises. La synthèse et l’étude approfondie de ces systèmes constituent l’objectif de cette thèse. ​​​​\nAprès un premier chapitre introductif\, le deuxième chapitre est consacré à l’étude de deux matériaux modèles : le PTQ10\, polymère donneur parmi les plus performants de la littérature\, et le PIDTe\, un polymère accepteur de structure proche de systèmes connus mais dont la synthèse est simplifiée. Ce travail valide leur pertinence comme système modèle et permet de mettre en place les méthodes de caractérisation utilisées dans la suite de la thèse. Le troisième chapitre explore l’analyse structurale des monocomposants par résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN). L’utilisation de molécules modèles permet d’identifier les signaux caractéristiques des liaisons entre blocs donneurs et accepteurs et d’estimer le nombre moyen de jonctions dans les chaînes de copolymères. Une approche complémentaire par RMN à diffusion ordonnée (DOSY) est également évaluée afin d’estimer la composition des matériaux. Le quatrième chapitre s’intéresse aux propriétés thermiques des monocomposants. Une méthode basée sur la spectroscopie UV-visible est développée pour suivre les évolutions morphologiques à l’échelle nanométrique à l’état solide. Associée à la diffraction des rayons X en incidence rasante (GIWAXS)\, à la microscopie à force atomique (AFM) et à la calorimétrie différentielle à balayage rapide (flash DSC)\, elle permet de comparer la stabilité thermique des monocomposants à celle des mélanges tout-polymères. ​​​​\nEnfin\, le cinquième chapitre vise à synthétiser des monocomposants de structure mieux définie. La modification du monomère du PTQ10 permet d’obtenir un polymère possédant une fonction réactive terminale unique et une structure régiorégulière. Cette régiorégularité améliore l’organisation des chaînes latérales mais semble perturber celle du cœur π-conjugué\, affectant les propriétés optoélectroniques. Différentes stratégies de synthèse de copolymères di- et tri-blocs sont ensuite développées\, ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives. ​​​​\nEn conclusion\, cette thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension des matériaux monocomposants pour les cellules solaires organiques et propose de nouvelles approches d’analyse et de synthèse pour des dispositifs plus stables et performants. ​​​​ \n_ \nContact : odile.rossignol@cea.fr

SUMMARY:Soline BEITONE (PhD Student - LMGP)
DESCRIPTION:Development and evaluation of a photocatalytic system to reduce and valorize CO2\nRésumé : \nThis work focuses on the development of a photocatalytic system for CO₂ reduction and valorization\, contributing to sustainable carbon conversion strategies. The study investigates Cu₂O nanowire (NW)-based photocatalyst\, selected for their visible-light activity\, abundance\, and low toxicity. \nA simple\, scalable\, and cost-effective fabrication strategy was developed to produce such photocatalyst. To enhance performance and stability\, the materials were further engineered through TiO₂ nanoparticle modification\, enabling the formation of p–n heterojunctions that improve charge separation\, stability and light utilization. \nThe resulting photocatalysts were evaluated for CO₂ conversion into value-added products and water depollution through dye degradation. \nFinally\, a life cycle perspective was incorporated to assess environmental impacts\, sustainability benefits\, and the scalability potential of these photocatalytic systems. \nShort Bio/CV \nI am a third-year PhD student with a background in materials science and chemistry. My research focuses on photocatalysis and materials development\, with an emphasis on green and sustainable approaches. \nI am part of the NABIOS team\, and my PhD project is integrated into DéfiCO₂\, a multidisciplinary initiative aimed at developing and evaluating technological solutions for carbon capture and utilization (CCU). \n_ \nContact : deborah.verger@grenoble-inp.fr

SUMMARY:Soutenance HDR de Tristan WAGNER (IRIG / IBS)
DESCRIPTION:Characterization of native enzymes to understand how anaerobic microbes impact biogeochemical cycles\nRésumé : \nMicrobes are actors of the biogeochemical cycles\, transforming gases\, minerals\, and biological matter through enzymatic reaction chains. Among them\, anaerobic archaea\, namely methanogens and methanotrophs\, play a key role in converting planetary carbon\, nitrogen\, and sulfur\, impacting the biosphere and providing green sustainable solutions for our modern society. The last fourteen years of my career were devoted to understanding the molecular basis of these microbial transformations\, such as methane production or degradation\, CO2 and carbon monoxide conversion to biofuels\, N2 fixation\, and sulfur cycling. Since these enzymes harbor O2-sensitive complicated metallocofactors\, most of my work relies on native protein purification from the microbes themselves under strict O2 exclusion. After a brief presentation of my career and PhD project\, the presented work summarizes my most renowned breakthrough regarding the elucidation of molecular tricks in carbon\, nitrogen\, and sulfur metabolisms in methane-generating microbes\, including their regulatory networks. Then\, the latest research led by my group is introduced with : (i) how methanogens munch on methylated substrates such as methanol and lignin-degradation products\, (ii) how an industrial bacterium turns waste gases into biofuels\, (iii) the study of a microbial consortia “that burn” methane and ethane without oxygen via a native approach. Finally\, I will present the features of my past group and my future laboratory. ​​ \nL’accès au campus EPN nécessite un avis de rendez-vous.

SUMMARY:Jean-Claude BESSE (Department of Physics\, ETH Zurich\, CH-8093 Zurich\, Switzerland)
DESCRIPTION:Execution of Blind Quantum Computing Primitives on a Modular Superconducting Processor\nRésumé : \nAs a route towards a cluster of interconnected processors in a quantum network\, the Quantum Device Lab’s approach to short-range modularity uses small modules with high fabrication yield flip-chip bonded to a common carrier chip. In the first part of this talk\, we focus on the hardware realization of this 3D-integrated architecture with indium bump bonds\, inter-chip spacing control\, and parameter targeting enabling high-fidelity operations 1\,2. We then leverage this technology in a two-module processor\, with three qubits per node 3. The first module acts as a server generating cluster states as entangled quantum resource. The second module acts as a client\, consuming the resource through real-time adaptive measurement basis choice. We demonstrate that the client can implement universal single- and two-qubit gates with local measurements and rotations only. As an example of blind quantum computation\, we show results of a measurement-based Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. We verify that the computation remains private\, that is\, the server’s state doesn’t reveal the client’s algorithm nor its result. This demonstrates that cloud quantum providers can be set up in a way that they respect the data privacy of their clients 4. \n1 Norris et al.\, EPJ Quant.

SUMMARY:Kirill NOURSKI (University of Iowa\, USA)
DESCRIPTION:What the insula hears and does : Insights from human intracranial electrophysiology\nRésumé : \nThe human insula is known to be involved in auditory processing\, though its detailed response properties remain elusive. Intracranial recordings in human neurosurgical patients provide a unique opportunity to characterize the functional properties of the human insula with high spatiotemporal resolution. Local field potential recordings reveal that posterior insula (InsP) is characterized by larger broadband gamma (30-150 Hz) responses to monosyllabic words compared to anterior insula (InsA). Both subdivisions of the insula generate evoked responses to novel sounds. Single neurons within InsP and\, to a lesser extent\, InsA\, respond to simple sounds in the absence of a behavioral context. InsP and InsA share similar res9ng state functional connectivity profiles with limbic structures. InsP is more closely linked to activity propagated from early auditory cortex\, while InsA is more tightly coupled with prefrontal\, anterior temporal regions and the amygdala. Clinical case studies identify language and music perception deficiencies associated with insula lesions. Finally\, single unit recordings during emergence from general anesthesia reveal a temporal dissociation between reactivation of limbic structures and the insula\, the laPer marking the transition to connected consciousness and the capacity to act on commands. Together\, these results begin to characterize the insula’s place in the auditory hierarchy\, with implications ranging from sensory processing to conscious awareness of our surroundings. \n_ \nContact : julien.bastin@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr \n  \n

SUMMARY:Benjamin LENZ (IMPMC)
DESCRIPTION:Spectroscopic signatures of spin-polarons in quasi two-dimensional correlated materials\nRésumé : \nThe motion of a single hole in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet can lead to the formation of a low-energy quasiparticle\, a so-called spin-polaron\, which amounts to a bound state of the doped hole and a spin flip. In this talk\, I will first introduce the notion of spin-polarons and then discuss spectroscopic signatures of this quasiparticle at the example of two different material classes which both host quasi two-dimensional low-energy physics in their correlated electronic structure.\nIllustrated by the Na-doped oxychloride Ca2CuO2Cl2\, we will see how the spin-polaron gives rise to “kink” and “waterfall” features in the spectral function of hole-doped cuprates. Employing a numerical workflow comprising density functional theory and cluster dynamical mean-field theory\, we will discuss these features in comparison to measurements obtained from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. As a second example\, we will see that spin-polaron physics is also relevant in two prototypical iridates\, (Ba\,Sr)2IrO4\, which host an exotic spin-orbital entangled jeff=1/2 ground state. In particular\, the characteristic two-peak structure of their optical absorption and optical conductivity curves will be revisited and interpreted in the light of these coherent low-energy quasiparticles. \nB.

SUMMARY:Alexandra COLIN (CEA-Irig/LPCV)
DESCRIPTION:Dynamics and Scaling of Competitive Actin Architectures\nRésumé : \n\nCells constantly experience environmental changes requiring a fast adaptation of their different actin structures. However\, the mechanisms governing the size and dynamics of these multiple actin structures remain unknown. Decoupling the various parameters that would provide a complete understanding of these mechanisms is very complicated in a cellular context. This is why we have developed a bottom-up approach to identify the key molecular mechanisms that determine the size and coexistence of multiple competing actin architectures. We used a reconstituted system consisting of purified proteins and substrates to localize actin polymerization in microwells\, enabling us to work with a limited number of components. With this system\, we reconstituted several dynamic actin architectures\, competing for a limited pool of protein\, over a period of multiple hours. This allowed us to gain key insights into physiological functions related to actin turnover. I will show how we used this system to study the limits of scaling in dynamic structures\, as well as the limits of coexistence in actin networks under resource-limited conditions. Finally\, I will show how we can recapitulate these results in a complementary cellular system\, in which we have demonstrated that an increase in spreading area leads to a decrease in overall turnover\, due to a predominance of structures with low turnover.​​​​​\n​\n\n\n\nLes séminaires et soutenances sont ouverts à tous\, notez toutefois que l’accès au campus EPN nécessite un avis de rendez-vous.

SUMMARY:Soutenance de Thèse de Giovanni OLIVETTI (CEA-Irig / Spintec)
DESCRIPTION:Angular Momentum Transfer Between Waveforms in Axisymmetric Geometries\nRésumé : \nThis thesis investigates the role of angular momentum transfer in the coupling between elastic and spin excitations in magneto-mechanical systems. \nIn axisymmetric geometries\, rotational invariance provides the natural framework for the conservation of total angular momentum[1]. In such a case\, this quantity unambiguously labels the eigenmodes of the system and constrains their coupling to an external excitation through well-defined selection rules[2]. The manuscript develops this physical picture from a general perspective based on Noether’s theorem\, it introduces spin and orbital angular momentum contributions for a generic vector field and proposes an analytical description of magneto-elastic coupling in axisymmetric systems. \nThis framework is then applied to two complementary experimental platforms realized in the context of this doctoral work. The first combines chiral surface-acoustic excitations with a magnetic vortex texture in a patterned ferromagnetic disk. The second consists of partially suspended axisymmetric YIG microresonators\, designed to support both low-loss mechanical motion and confined spin dynamics within the same structure[3]. Together\, these two systems provide complementary routes to investigate how elastic and magnetic modes carrying angular momentum can be generated\, controlled\, and coupled in realistic devices. \nIn particular\, this work demonstrates the controlled excitation and optical mapping of a surface-acoustic vortex by means of spiral interdigitated transducers. It further addresses the stabilization of magnetic vortex textures in micrometer-scale ferromagnetic disks on anisotropic piezoelectric substrates\, as well as their positioning at the center of elastic rotation. The coupling strength in suspended axisymmetric YIG microresonators has been evaluated by comparing experimental data with theoretical modeling\, indicating a weak-coupling regime. Moreover\, the role of weak symmetry breaking has been discussed for the selective excitation of counter-propagating elastic modes that would otherwise be degenerate. \nThese developments establish several of the physical and technological conditions required to address experimentally the coupling of elastic and spin excitations carrying angular momentum. More broadly\, they outline a route toward magneto-elastic platforms in which symmetry can be used as a resource for selective excitation. In this perspective\, partially suspended magnetic microresonators may provide a promising route toward strong magnon-phonon coupling under geometrical and symmetry constraints directly relevant for coherent functionalities. In the longer term\, such systems could serve as building blocks for mode-selective transducers and hybrid architectures combining magnetic\, elastic\, and optical degrees of freedom\, with possible perspectives for microwave-to-optical coherent transduction[4]. \nReferences \n\nGaranin & Chudnovsky\, Phys.

SUMMARY:Luis Alberto RAZO LOPEZ (Institut Langevin\, Paris)
DESCRIPTION:Phase retrieval based on intensity-only spatiotemporal wavefront shaping\nRésumé : \nWe introduce a phase retrieval framework based solely on intensity measurements and intensity-only spatiotemporal modulation. Our approach leverages spatiotemporal wavefront shaping to encode phase information into temporally multiplexed intensity signals\, which are subsequently decomposed in the Fourier domain. We show that the resulting temporal harmonics correspond to spiral-phase–modulated speckle components\, enabling the retrieval of phase information without direct phase-sensitive detection. We derive the harmonic structure induced by a rotating angular aperture mask and demonstrate that each harmonic carries a distinct spiral phase and amplitude weighting governed by a sinc envelope. Based on this structure\, we develop an optimization-based reconstruction algorithm that retrieves both the unknown diffuser phase and system scaling without prior knowledge of the optical transfer function. Experimental results confirm accurate reconstruction of diffuser surfaces and aberration correction\, including refocusing through digital micromirror device (DMD)-induced distortions. \nContact : dorian.bouchet@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

DESCRIPTION:Carbon Nanotube Electromechanical Oscillators: where photons\, phonons and electrons meet\nRésumé : \nAchieving strong mechanical nonlinearities\, minimally invasive detection\, and control at the few-phonon level is a central challenge in the development of mechanical oscillators for quantum technologies\, including quantum information processing (1\,2)\, precision sensing (3)\, and tests of quantum mechanics (4\,5). In our group\, we aim to realize these capabilities using suspended carbon-nanotube mechanical oscillators coupled to electronic quantum dots. In this talk\, I will present results obtained with a device operating in the exotic dispersive ultrastrong-coupling regime (6\,7)\, where the interaction strength between a nanotube mechanical oscillator and a double-quantum-dot electronic two-level system (DQD-ETLS) exceeds the bare energy of the oscillator. In this regime\, we demonstrate a mechanical Kerr oscillator with an anharmonicity exceeding the state of the art for mechanical systems by four orders of magnitude (8). We read out the mechanical states using a superconducting cavity coupled to the square displacement (x²) of the oscillator (8)\, paving the way towards future quantum non-demolition (QND) cavity-based readout of mechanical Fock states (9). I will also show that the decay and decoherence rates of our ETLS charge qubit outperforms the current state of the art for 2DEG-based systems\, reaching the highest coherence values ever measured in a charge-based DQD-ETLS (10). \n1 A.

SUMMARY:Jonathan HOME (ETH Zürich)
DESCRIPTION:Scaling trapped-ion quantum computers\nRésumé : \nTrapped ions are among the most promising paths to realizing quantum computers\, having exhibited the highest fidelity gates and long coherence times. Scaling up will require the adoption of new technologies\, and can be facilitated by new approaches. In this talk I will describe recent work from our group in both directions. Firstly I will describe the use of integrated optics to deliver light to multiple zones of an ion trap chip in scalable manner\, and give an impression of the new types of control which might be enabled by this approach 1\,2\,3. I will then introduce a new concept for scaling trapped-ion quantum computers based on microfabricated Penning traps\, introducing flexible 2-dimensional ion transport while removing the need for high-voltage radio-frequency fields and thus improving compatibility with standardized chip fabrication 4\,5. We have used this to perform sensing of both static and oscillating magnetic and electric fields near the chip surface\, and more recently demonstrated multi-qubit gates and control of multi-dimensional arrays of ions. \n1 K.

SUMMARY:Soutenance de Thèse de Marco BIAGI (IRIG/Spintec)
DESCRIPTION:Exploration of orbital-to-spin conversion materials and integration in 3-terminal spin-orbit torque magnetic tunnel junctions\nRésumé : \nThe development of electrically controlled nanomagnets for spintronic applications\, particularly non-volatile magnetic memories (MRAM)\, is attracting strong interest due to the limitations of CMOS-based memories such as SRAM and eDRAM. Spin–orbit torque (SOT) MRAMs are promising candidates for addressing SRAM specifications; however\, current materials still suffer from limited efficiency and high resistivity\, leading to unmet write-current requirements. Recently\, studies have highlighted orbital phenomena as a potential route to enhance SOT efficiency\, owing to their larger magnitudes and availability in a broader set of materials. However\, orbital currents do not couple to magnetization in the absence of spin–orbit coupling\, requiring an orbital-to-spin conversion layer\, which motivates studies of conversion mechanisms and associated physics. \nIn this PhD work\, we evaluate promising orbital/HM/FM material systems for SOTMRAM applications. We present a comprehensive study of Ru/HM/FeCoB and Ta/W/ FeCoB systems\, where Ru and Ta act as orbital current sources\, while Ta\, W\, and Pt serve as orbital-to-spin conversion layers. Ru is predicted to exhibit one of the largest orbital Hall angles among transition metals while maintaining low resistivity. Ta\, a heavy metal with a large spin Hall effect\, is predicted to exhibit an orbital Hall angle approximately one order of magnitude larger than its spin counterpart. When a heavy metal is used as a conversion layer\, multiple spin-current contributions can coexist and add linearly to the total effective spin Hall conductivity\, potentially enhancing the overall SOT efficiency. \nWe characterized key parameters relevant to SOT magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) devices\, including saturation magnetization\, effective anisotropy field\, and resistivity\, and we quantified damping-like (ξDL) and field-like (ξFL) SOT efficiencies as a function of orbital and conversion layer thickness\, both in as-deposited and 300°C annealed samples. These metrics are benchmarked against reference HM/FeCoB systems to isolate the effect of the additional orbital layer. For Ru/Ta and Ru/W stacks\, limited enhancement ξFL of ξDL is observed relative to reference systems. In contrast\, Ru/Pt exhibits a twofold increase in ξDL compared to Pt alone. This difference is attributed to the stronger SOC in Pt\, which enables more efficient orbital-to-spin conversion. The independence of ξDL on Ru thickness further suggests an interfacial origin of the orbital contribution in Ru/Pt. However\, thermal annealing strongly degrades ξDL\, limiting its applicability for SOT-MRAM. In Ta/W systems\, we observe a strong enhancement of ξDL by a factor of 4.4 relative to Ta and 3.2 relative to W. A parallel-resistor model indicates that conventional SHE contributions cannot fully account for this increase\, pointing to an additional orbital-related mechanism. Extending the study to 400 °C annealing shows that ξDL remains largely stable\, indicating good thermal robustness while maintaining perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. \nLeveraging these advantages\, we further integrate the Ta/W system into SOT-MTJs and benchmark it against standard W-based MTJs. We investigate the pulse-length dependence of the critical switching current and provide a first demonstration of integrated orbital-to-spin conversion in SOT-MTJs. Ta/W devices exhibit switching currents comparable to W-based devices but have a lower switching current density and improved perpendicular magnetic anisotropy stability. Finally\, we present a proof-of-concept for vertical non-local switching of SOT-MTJ using orbital torques\, simplifying bottom-pinned SOT-MRAM fabrication. Overall\, these results demonstrate that orbital physics can be exploited to enhance SOT-MTJ performance\, simplify fabrication\, and provide a promising route toward scalable bottom-pinned MRAM technologies. \nPlus d’information : https://www.spintec.fr/phd-defense-exploration-of-orbital-to-spin-conversion-materials-and-integration-in-3-terminal-spin-orbit-torque-magnetic-tunnel-junctions/ \nPour suivre la soutenance ​​​en visioconférence : https://univ-grenoble-alpes-fr.zoom.us/j/98769867024?pwd=dXNnT3RMeThjYStybGVQSUN0TVdJdz09 \n_ \n\n\nP​resential access to the confere​nce room at CEA in Gre​​noble requires an entry authorization\, request to admin.spintec@cea.fr

SUMMARY:Soutenance de Thèse de Khadeeja MUBASHIRA (CEA-Irig/IBS)
DESCRIPTION:Étude de la séparation de phase de la phosphoprotéine du virus de la rage et de sa régulation par LC8\nRésumé : \nRabies virus (RABV) replication occurs in cytoplasmic\, membrane-less compartments known as Negri bodies (NBs)\, formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of viral components. The phosphoprotein (RABV P) is a central\, intrinsically disordered scaf fold of the viral replication machinery. This thesis investigates the structural\, biophysical\, and dynamic properties of RABV P\, with emphasis on its phase separation behavior and interactions with molecular partners. To enable this\, recombinant expression and purification protocols were optimized to produce stable\, high-quality protein samples for reproducible analyses. \nWe first characterized the intrinsic phase behavior of RABV P in vitro. The protein undergoes thermoresponsive LLPS with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST)\, forming reversible condensates within a narrow range of protein and salt concentrations. This process is driven by multivalent interactions within a heterogeneous ensemble of conformations\, where dimers assemble into higher-order oligomers prior to phase separation. The resulting phase diagram reveals a complex\, reentrant system governed by a balance between electrostatic repulsion and attractive dipole-dipole interactions. \nThe role of ionic conditions was further examined. While NaCl induced reentrant phase separation\, LLPS strongly depended on ion identity rather than ionic strength alone. Chloride salts promoted condensate formation\, whereas bromide salts did not\, indicating ion-specific (Hofmeister-type) effects. Systematic trends showed that fluoride enhances phase separation\, while cation effects are weaker. Divalent ions also promoted LLPS\, highlighting valency contributions. Chemical perturbations confirmed that condensates are stabilized by weak interactions: 1\,6-hexanediol partially disrupted droplets\, whereas ATP fully dissolved them. Notably\, RABV P intrinsically phase separates even in water\, modulated by pH\, protein concentration\, and ionic conditions. \nTime-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) revealed the structural evolution underlying LLPS. Following a temperature jump\, RABV P undergoes a hierarchical assembly process\, transitioning from dispersed species to larger structures. Early conformational rearrangements precede the formation of intermediate clusters\, followed by growth into larger assemblies. These structures remain disordered and liquid-like\, supporting a multistep nucleation-and-growth mechanism. \nThe host protein LC8 was investigated as a regulator of RABV P condensation. LC8 binds a conserved motif in RABV P with high affinity\, forming a defined complex and partitioning into condensates. Functionally\, LC8 enhances phase separation by increasing condensate size\, enriching RABV P in the dense phase\, and broadening the phase-separation window. It shifts phase boundaries toward lower concentrations and temperatures while preserving liquid-like properties. These results indicate that LC8 actively promotes condensation by stabilizing interaction-competent conformations and enhancing intermolecular connectivity. \nTo assess whether LC8 can compensate for intrinsic multivalency\, a truncated RABV P lacking the dimerization domain was analyzed. Although LC8 bound this construct\, the interaction was weaker and failed to restore robust phase separation. Only weak condensation was observed under crowding conditions\, demonstrating that LC8 cannot substitute for the native dimerization-driven multivalency.\nOverall\, this work establishes RABV P as a finely tuned multivalent scaffold whose phase behavior arises from the interplay of intrinsic disorder\, ion-specific effects\, and hierarchical assembly. LLPS emerges as a multistep\, non-ideal process rather than a simple binary transition. LC8 acts as a key host regulator that enhances phase separation without altering condensate dynamics\, while intrinsic multivalency remains essential. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for understanding viral condensate formation and highlight potential avenues for antiviral intervention. \n_ \nContact : alain.farchi@cea.fr

SUMMARY:Maurizio SACCHI (CNRS - Institut des NanoSciences de Paris and Synchrotron SOLEIL)
DESCRIPTION:X-rays with Orbital Angular Momentum for spectroscopy and imaging\nRésumé : \nIn addition to the spin angular momentum (SAM) associated to the light polarization\, Laguerre-Gaussian light beams carry also an orbital angular momentum (OAM) of ℓ /photon [1]ℏ associated to an azimuthal dependence exp(iℓϕ) of the electric field phase. Over the last thirty years\, OAM beams at vis-IR wavelengths found applications in fields as different as biology\, telecommunication and imaging [2]. The azimuthal phase dependence\, with a singularity on the propagation axis\, is accompanied by a radial modulation of the intensity (ring-shaped beams)\, properties that have been used to modify local magnetic ordering\, to improve the spatial resolution in microscopy\, and to enhance the edge sharpness in phase-contrast imaging. \nOver the last decade\, several approaches to the generation of OAM beams at shorter wavelengths\, from XUV to hard x-rays\, were proposed. Potential applications are often based on the extrapolation of previous work carried out in the vis-IR range. For instance\, as for the SAM\, the handedness imposed by the OAM has been exploited to study magnetic materials [3] and chiral molecules [4]. The interest of extending the use of OAM beams from the vis-IR to the x-ray range has been growing steadily over the last few years. Nonetheless\, the offer of user accessible beamlines and endstations remains limited\, especially when one aims at independently varying both SAM and OAM in a controlled way. At the SEXTANTS beamline of the SOLEIL synchrotron\, we have implemented and commissioned a new setup for soft x-ray spectroscopy (absorption and resonant scattering experiments) with OAM beams [5]. \n1.

SUMMARY:Cyril BRESSY (Aix-Marseille Université - Institut des Sciences Moléculaires de Marseille (iSm2))
DESCRIPTION:Compartmentalized MultiCatalysis : Chirality as Probe\, Separation of Enantiomers & Catalytic Active Transport\nRésumé : \nLife solves the problem of different reaction conditions by the compartmentalization of the catalytic systems. This solution opens new opportunities for the chemists using synthetic membranes to isolate the catalytic systems. \nWe were interested to study the diffusion of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane when no gradient of concentration does exist. Chirality was found to be helpful to be used as probe to study such systems (1). A scale of diffusion energy depending on the structure of the solute was established providing fruitful lessons. \nBased on these results\, compartmentalized multicatalytic systems were set up for different goals : \n– A system where two catalysts of opposite configurations are working in each compartment leading to the physical separation of enantiomeric products starting from a racemic substrate. This is describing a case of compartmentalized parallel kinetic resolution (CPKR)(2).\n– A system to promote the active transport of a molecule able to cross a membrane. The active transport means a transfer against the gradient of concentration (3). \nReferences \n1 .  J. Hou\, S. Chevallier-Michaud\, L. Favre\, D. Hérault & C. Bressy\, J.

SUMMARY:Lucas GOEHRING (Nottingham Trent University (UK))
DESCRIPTION:Structure formation in paints and coatings\nRésumé : \nPaints and coatings are typically a mix of small particles\, like pigments\, along with a polymer glue or binder. Similar products include inks\, varnishes\, cosmetics\, ceramics and even the lithium-ion battery electrodes that power modern electric vehicles. These materials are prepared as a liquid\, spread over a surface\, and dried.  As anyone who has painted a wall will know\, however\, this process can easily go wrong. Even a well-prepared paint can develop an undesirable skin and wrinkle\, crack\, or peel\, and these coatings can also visibly degrade over time. \nIn this talk I will go through the key stages of film formation\, or how a colloidal dispersion dries.  I will show how small angle scattering experiments (SANS/SAXS) helped to elucidate how the structure of the film changes during drying\, evolving from a dilute gas of particles\, into a transient gel where capillary pressures balance electrostatic repulsion\, to a final aggregated solid. I will then turn to look at how the insight gained has led to a better understanding of mechanical instabilities like fracture\, shear banding\, birefringence\, and peeling\, as well as revealing an unexpected route to colloidal crystallisation. \nFinally\, I will summarise our recent work using neutron scattering techniques to investigate blanching\, a degradation process that can cause a visible whitening in the traditional varnishes that are used as a protective outer coating on many historically and artistically important paintings. \nSpeaker’s website: https://www.ntu.ac.uk/staff-profiles/science-technology/lucas-goehring \n— \nOrsolya Czakkel (College 9 Secretary) \nExternal visitors may ask for a site access to tellier@ill.fr \nZoom link: https://ill.zoom.us/j/95581858117?pwd=hh9paEQj6BF8u9WYzfZkvZaGspe1i3.1  – Passcode: 078610 \n

SUMMARY:Soutenance HDR de Damien CALISTE (CEA-Irig/MEM)
DESCRIPTION:Étude de mécanismes à l’échelle atomique pour les matériaux fonctionnels\, apports de la DFT comme un outils en évolution\nRésumé : \nThe purpose to use numerical tools is to treat problems where the analytical solutions are too complex or unknown. In the field of solid-state physics\, the advent of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) had a major impact on the studies of materials at the atomic scale. Its numerous implementations and ability to efficiently run on large computing infrastructures\, made it popular and it quickly became indispensable in both academic and industrial research\, enabling unprecedented insights into the electronic\, structural\, and chemical properties of complex systems. However\, the power of DFT is not solely derived from its theoretical foundations; it is equally dependent on the robustness\, efficiency\, and adaptability of the computational tools that implement it. ​ \nThis defense will deal with these two aspects: material science through DFT simulations\, and maintainance and development of large numerical infrastructures like a DFT code. ​ \nI will first address how atomistic-level simulations can be used to complement experimental characterisations\, through the example of the indirect role played by Se atoms in the efficiency improvement of CdTe solar panels. Revealing such mechanisms is important for material design\, driving material engineering by knowledge. ​ \nA second part will be dedicated to a broad overview on the physics description of a graphite electrode in a Li-ion battery. Starting from a fully charged anode\, and following the deintercalation process\, I will question what insights we can get from DFT calculations with the existing knowledge obtained from long-passed experiments as from more recent in-operando characterisation results. ​ \n​Studying the dilute regime in graphite intercalation will lead to open questions about the capability of numerical simulations to address cases where the strong interactions between the cations and the host material\, compete with the binding of the layers. To properly address such questions\, it is important to have available within DFT\, a level of theory capable of treating inhomogeneous systems made of places where covalent bonds are dominant while in other areas van der Waals interactions take the lead. These situations can be commonly found in several classes of materials\, from van der Waals heterostructures to hybrid perovskites when out-of-equilibrium processes take place\, with defect / impurity diffusion or phase / structural transitions. The recent developments of versatile meta-GGAs associated to dispersion corrections\, look promising and have demonstrated their ability to reproduce perfect van der Waals systems. Concurrently\, their usage are restricted to some codes\, hindered by the complexity in DFT implementations\, isolating the diffusion of new ideas. I believe that the advent of code generation through AI is a timely opportunity to help spreading state-of-the-art DFT developments. Such thoughts will be discussed in the last part of the defense.​ \n_ \nContact : alain.farchi@cea.fr

SUMMARY:Mucio A. CONTINENTINO (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:Dehybridization transition in multi-band systems: a renormalization group approach \nRésumé : \nIn strongly correlated multi-band systems\, such as transition metal intermetallics\, heavy fermions\, and Kondo insulators\, electron-electron interactions lead to the damping of electronic quasiparticles at finite temperatures. This phenomenon results in an effective dehybridization between the electrons in the large conduction band and those in the narrow\, correlated band. The dehybridization effect has been employed to explain the transport properties of intermetallics and the results of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on heavy fermions at sufficiently high temperatures (1). Recent insights from the theory of non-Hermitian systems provide a novel perspective on this problem. In this work\, we adopt this viewpoint through a renormalization group (RG) approach. We derive RG equations for a one-dimensional two-band model to identify the exceptional points of this system and to characterize its topological properties in the presence of dissipation. Our findings reveal that for a non- trivial topological sp-chain\, dehybridization can be interpreted as a topological phase transition\, characterized by critical exponents that we calculate. By employing a parametrization of the self-energy in a strongly correlated system\, computed numerically\, we investigate the temperature dependence of the lifetime of heavy quasiparticles. From these results\, a characteristic temperature related to dehybridization emerges. We discuss whether this temperature represents a new energy scale or if it is associated with the Kondo or coherence temperatures in the phase diagram of heavy fermions [2].\n\nReferences\n1. C.
