SUMMARY:Damien GREGOIRE (IGMM\, Montpellier\, France)
DESCRIPTION:In vivo modeling of tumor heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma\nRésumé : \nOur research aims at a better understanding of how various combinations of oncogenic events drive tumorigenesis. We address two major questions in cancer biology\, within the context of inter-tumoral heterogeneity: (1) what mechanisms underlie oncogenic cooperation in shaping of the tumor cell fate\, and (2)\, how does the genetic identity of a tumor influence its interactions with the microenvironment ? \nWe explore these questions in the context of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)\, the most common primary liver cancer. Our approach combines functional studies with advanced preclinical mouse models\, particularly in vivo hepatocyte transfection via hydrodynamic gene transfer. We focus our investigations on tumors driven by either FGF19 overexpression or a spectrum of p53 mutations. \nIn this talk at IAB\, I will present recent findings on these two distinct families of hepatic tumors. Our ultimate goal is to elucidate how the genetic profile of HCC shapes the tumor cell phenotype\, its interactions with the tumor microenvironment—especially immune cells—and its response to treatments. \n_ \nContact : thomas.decaens@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

SUMMARY:Marielena VELASCO-ENRIQUEZ (LMGP\, Institut Néel)
DESCRIPTION:Chemical pathways to obtain Ga2O3 films for next generation power electronics and optoelectronics\nRésumé : \nUltrawide bandgap semiconductors like β-Ga2O3 are promising candidates for power electronics and optoelectronics thanks to their large bandgap energy (4.6 – 4.9 eV)\, high breakdown electric field (~8 MV/cm)\, broadband photodetection\, and availability of high-quality substrates.[1] Beyond the thermodynamically stable β-Ga2O3\, metastable polymorphs (α\, γ\, δ\, κ) may offer additional functionalities\, including piezoelectricity (κ-phase).[2] \nThis work explores two different chemical approaches in vapor phase and aqueous solution to grow Ga₂O₃ thin films and microstructures on c-plane sapphire substrates. First\, pulsed-liquid injection MOCVD (PLI-MOCVD)\, that unlike conventional MOCVD systems\, enables fine control over precursor delivery and dosing\, improving chemical yield and reducing gallium waste\, an important sustainability consideration.[3] Second\, chemical bath deposition (CBD) followed by thermal annealing that offers a low-cost\, tunable pathway to obtain crystalline Ga₂O₃\,[4] though the link between growth parameters and final properties remains poorly understood. \nBy adapting and systematically investigating both methods\, the impact of key parameters on morphology\, structure\, chemistry\, and optical properties using a broad range of characterization techniques (SEM\, XRD\, TEM\, XPS\, Raman\, UV-Vis\, cathodoluminescence\, etc.) is studied. This comparative approach provides insight into the assets and limitations of each technique for controlled Ga₂O₃ synthesis. \n[1]        J. Y.

SUMMARY:Christophe VALLEE (College of Nanotechnology\, Science\, and Engineering (CNSE) - University at Albany - SUNY)
DESCRIPTION:Le dépôt sélectif par zone (ASD) : de la substitution de la lithographie à son amélioration\nRésumé : \nDans cet exposé\, nous allons présenter le dépôt sélectif par zone (Area Selective Deposition) et illustrer le fait que ce procédé\, initialement développé pour supprimer des étapes de lithographie\, peut être aussi utilisé pour améliorer ces étapes. \nDans un premier temps\, nous introduirons les différentes façons de faire un dépôt sélectif par zone\, puis nous donnerons quelques exemples d’application. Ensuite\, nous discuterons des interactions entre ce procédé et des matériaux polymères afin de démontrer que les polymères peuvent être utilisés comme inhibiteurs dans un procédé ASD. De plus\, nous montrerons que le procédé ASD peut aussi être réalisé directement sur des polymères\, pour améliorer certaines de leurs propriétés telles que leur rugosité de surface et leur résistance à la gravure plasma. Nous finirons en donnant un exemple de dépôt sélectif « vertical » combinant à la fois une gravure sélective du polymère par effet catalytique et un dépôt sélectif par zone. \nShort Bio/CV \nChristophe Vallée est professeur à l’Université Grenoble Alpes jusqu’en 2020\, spécialisé dans les procédés plasma. Il a mené ses recherches au Laboratoire des Technologies de la Microélectronique (LTM) – Polytech Grenoble\, ainsi qu’en tant que professeur invité à l’Université de Tsukuba au Japon (2016–2020). En 2020\, il y a été nommé premier «TEL Innovation Scientist»\, soutenu par une dotation de 2\,3 millions de dollars pour le développement de technologies avancées au service de l’industrie des semi-conducteurs. Depuis 2022\, il est professeur permanent au CNSE de l’Université d’Albany (État de New York).

SUMMARY:Arjun DEY (Paul Scherrer Institute)
DESCRIPTION:Excitation energies from ground-state DMRG on the fuzzy sphere\nRésumé : \nIt has been observed that some eigenvalues of the effective local Hamiltonian built during a ground-state DMRG sweep of a one-dimensional critical chain stay nearly flat across iterations. Those flat levels correspond to true low-energy excitations\, giving access to the excitation spectrum at no extra cost. We ask whether the same holds on the fuzzy sphere\, a geometry used to study two-dimensional critical theories by mapping them onto a one-dimensional orbital chain. Getting excited states there directly is costly. We find numerical evidence that flat levels appear in the eigenvalues of the effective local Hamiltonian during our sweeps and match the expected low-energy spectrum. The symmetries of the fuzzy sphere and orthogonalization across symmetry sectors introduce additional structure into those eigenvalues\, which helps in resolving and assigning the excitations. \n_ \nContact : loic.herviou@lpmmc.cnrs.fr

SUMMARY:Timothée PROIX (ETH Zurich)
DESCRIPTION:Neural manifolds for speech processing\nRésumé : \nSpeech comprehension requires the brain to represent and combine phonetic\, lexical\, and semantic information across a linguistic hierarchy. Yet how neuronal populations implement these representations and compositions remains unclear. In this talk\, I will show how the framework of neural manifolds offers a powerful lens for this question\, combining intracranial recordings in the human cortex with population-level analyses and computational modeling.\nI will show that linguistic features are encoded as distinct trajectories on low-dimensional manifolds\, which can be resolved analytically by fitting recurrent neural networks directly to the neural data. I will then discuss how these trajectory-based representations are combined across levels\, from the composition of phonetic features into syllables\, to the interactions between phonetic and semantic representations. Together\, these perspectives point toward a population-level mechanism for the representation and composition of speech processing. \nContact : michael.pereira@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

SUMMARY:Nan TANG (University of Augsburg)
DESCRIPTION:New Macroscopic Windows into Spin Ice : From Emergent Monopoles to Quadrupolar Fluctuations\nRésumé : \nSpin ice\, a representative class of frustrated magnets\, provides a rich platform for exploring phenomena such as fractionalized excitations and multipolar degrees of freedom\, which remain difficult to access using conventional magnetic probes. In this seminar\, I will show how thermodynamic measurements\, especially elastic probes\, together with spintronics technique (in particular the spin Seebeck effect)\, can serve as practical detectors of these degrees of freedom. \nI will develop this theme via two studies in the pyrochlore oxides Pr2​Zr2​O7​ and Dy2​Ti2​O7​\, known as spin ices. First\, I will show how bulk thermodynamic measurements\, centered around elastic probes\, can diagnose quantum spin ice physics in Pr2​Zr2​O7​ [1]. Second\, I will discuss how transport-sensitive measurements in an insulator—through the spin Seebeck effect—can access the dynamics of emergent magnetic monopoles in the classical spin ice Dy2​Ti2​O7​ [2]. Together\, these two studies demonstrate how lattice-based probes and spintronic tools can be brought to bear on frustrated magnets\, providing new routes to detect low-energy degrees of freedom. \nIn this way\, precision thermodynamics and modern transport-sensitive techniques can reveal new physics even in long-studied frustrated magnets\, enabling direct comparison with theory through sharp macroscopic signatures. \n[1] N.

DESCRIPTION:Designing cycloadditions to enable total synthesis\nRésumé : \nAsymmetric catalysis is a key topic in organic synthesis\, as it allows the formation of new bonds while controlling stereogenic centers\, which are inherent to natural products and biologically active substances. On the other hand\, dual catalysis is an efficient approach to operate multiple chemical operations through a one-pot process. In this presentation\, we will discuss our recent developments in asymmetric catalysis and dual catalysis\, as well as their application to a concrete total synthesis\nproblem. \n_ \nContact : adrien.quintard@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

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: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: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: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.

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:Ismaele Vincent MASIELLO (TU WIEN\, Austria)
DESCRIPTION:Nonclassicality\, quasiprobabilities and weak values explored in neutron interferometry\nRésumé : \nThe violation of Bell inequalities has demonstrated that quantum mechanics exhibits features with no classical counterpart; however\, identifying the boundary between quantumness and classicality remains a nontrivial task. Quasiprobability representations and weak values are valuable tools for investigating these boundaries\, and their physical relevance has been confirmed across a range of impactful experiments. Several of these experiments have been implemented in neutron interferometry\, a platform that has historically played a central role in the study of foundational quantum mechanics and nonclassicality. Compared to typical photonic implementations\, it is less susceptible to classical reinterpretations\, as it involves a single massive particle in a superposition of two or three spatially separated paths. Moreover\, it offers several experimental advantages\, such as macroscopic beam separation\, individual control of the sub-beams\, and long interaction and coherence times at room temperature and ambient pressure. In this talk\, I will introduce weak values and quasiprobabilities as tools to investigate the quantum–classical boundary and present results obtained in neutron interferometry.\n_ \nHanno Filter (College 3 Secretary) \nExternal visitors may ask for a site access to tellier(at)ill.fr \nZoom link : https://ill.zoom.us/j/98964195699?pwd=vPhNT17CAeoDUr7QX4PjfyPnWsHuMU.1 – Password : SeminarC3 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Benjamin BACQ-LABREUIL (IPCMS\, Université Strasbourg)
DESCRIPTION:The Role of the Apical Oxygen in Cuprate High-Temperature Superconductors\nRésumé : \nScanning tunneling microscopy measurements exploiting the natural superstructure modulation of the cuprate superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ (Bi-2212) have revealed a possible correlation between the Cu-apical-O distance and the superconducting order parameter\, as reported recently by O’Mahony et al. [1]. These observations were interpreted as evidence for a direct link between superconductivity and the charge-transfer gap\, and more broadly revived the long-standing question of the role of apical oxygens in cuprate superconductivity. In this talk\, I will discuss the impact of apical oxygen displacement on the superconducting properties of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CuO$_{6+x}$\, Bi-2212\, and HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+x}$ [2]\, leveraging a recently developed first-principles framework for high-temperature superconductors [3]. The quantitative agreement between our calculations and experiments allows us to unambiguously attribute the observed variations of superconducting order parameter to changes in the apical distance. We demonstrate\, however\, that the latter controls the former predominantly via the effective hole-doping of the CuO$_2$ planes\, with negligible effect on the charge-transfer gap. The modest magnitude of the order parameter modulation induced by apical-oxygen displacement alone therefore warrants caution in interpreting correlations between $T_c$ and the apical distance inferred from comparisons across different cuprate compounds. \n[1] O’Mahony\, et al.\, Proc.

SUMMARY:Dario DAGHERO (Department of Applied Science and Technology\, Politecnico di Torino)
DESCRIPTION:Point Contact Andreev-Reflection Spectroscopy : mechanisms\, models and examples\nRésumé : \nPoint-contact spectroscopy [1] in superconductors\, also known as point-contact Andreev-Reflection spectroscopy (PCARS) is a simple but powerful and versatile technique that allows a direct determination of the number\, the amplitude and the symmetry of the energy gap(s) in superconducting materials [2\,3]. The technique is rather simple in principle\, i.e. it just consists in creating a small (point-like) contact between a normal metal and a superconductor\, and to measure its differential conductance as a function of the bias voltage across the junction. However\, there are several complications that make this simple recipe fairly difficult to realize in practice. First of all\, the contact must be in the spectroscopic regime [1\,2\,3]\, i.e. electrons from the normal metal must be injected in the superconductor with an excess energy that coincides with eV\, V being the bias voltage. Hence\, they must not lose energy in the banks and in the contact itself. The ideal condition is that of ballistic conduction through the N/S interface\, which ensures no Joule effect and requires in turns that the contact size is smaller than both the coherence length and the electronic mean free path in the superconductor.\nWhen these conditions are met\, the conduction through the contact is dominated by Andreev reflection\, a quantum phenomenon that is responsible for the conversion of the normal current into supercurrent\, and occurs in a specific range of voltages (electron energies) set by the amplitude of the superconducting gap. Several models have been proposed to describe the phenomenon and are currently used to extract information on the amplitude and symmetry of the order parameter from the spectra. The simplest one [4] was only suited for superconductors with an isotropic (s-wave) gap\, but has been successfully generalized to the case of layered materials with anisotropic gaps\, like cuprates [5\,6] or strontium ruthenate [7]) and finally to the 3D case\, while taking into account the shape of the actual Fermi surface [3]. The latter generalization allows calculating the point-contact spectrum for any symmetry of the order parameter\, including exotic ones with horizontal node lines.\nAfter discussing these general aspects\, I will briefly describe the application of the technique to some example materials\, from the conventional multiband superconductors MgB2 [8] to unconventional ones like Pu-based heavy fermion compounds [9] or Fe-based compounds [3]\, to transition-metal dichalcogenides [10]. \nReferences\n1.

SUMMARY:Carlotta PORZIO (CERN\, Switzerland)
DESCRIPTION:Experimental activities at the ISOLDE-CERN facility\nRésumé : \nThe ISOLDE factily at CERN is one of the world-leading laboratories for the production of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) with the ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) method. More than 1000 isotopes of over 70 chemical elements have been produced via the interaction of a 1.4 GeV proton beam with a variety of target materials. After ionization and mass separation\, the beams can be delivered at low energy or post-accelerated up to about 10 MeV/u using the HIE-ISOLDE linear accelerator. The facility supports a broad scientific program\, spanning nuclear structure studies\, nuclear astrophysics\, materials science\, life sciences\, and investigations of fundamental interactions. \nAmong the experimental setups available at HIE-ISOLDE\, the Miniball gamma-ray spectrometer is employed to investigate both collective and single-particle properties of exotic nuclei. Combined with the post-accelerated radioactive ion beams\, Miniball enables nuclear structure studies via Coulomb excitation and nucleon-transfer reactions. \nThis seminar will provide an introduction to the ISOLDE facility and the ISOL RIB production method\, and an overview of experimental setups and techniques\, with a focus on the Miniball spectrometer. \n— \nHanno Filter (College 3 Secretary \nExternal visitors may ask for a site access to tellier@ill.fr \n
