C2N – International laboratory Nanostructures of Compound Semiconductors

International laboratory "Physics of nanostructures and innovative devices based on compound semiconductors" (PHYNICS)

The Associated International Laboratory (LIA) "Physics of nanostructures and innovative devices based on compound semiconductors" (PHYNICS) was officially established in May 2019 at the occasion of a visit of Antoine Petit, Chairman and CEO of CNRS, in Russia where he met Vladislav Pantchenko, CEO of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR).

The LIA PHYNICS is a renewal of the Associated International Laboratory "Nanostructures of Compound Semiconductors - Growth, properties, devices" (ILNACS) created in 2010 to strengthen and develop the scientific collaboration between CNRS laboratories and Russian partners (especially in Saint-Petersburg) in the field of the physics and applications of nanostructures of compound semiconductors.

The following French institutions are part of the LIA PHYNICS:

The CNRS, on behalf of the following research units: Institut Néel, Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N), Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets (LPCNO), Institut de physique de Nice (INPHYNI) and Institut d'Electronique et des Systèmes (IES);
The Université Paris-Sud, on behalf of the following research unit: Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N);
The Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier and INSA de Toulouse, on behalf of the following joint research unit: Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets (LPCNO);
The Université de Montpellier, on behalf of the following joint research unit: Institut d'Electronique et des Systèmes (IES);
The Université de Côte d'Azur, on behalf of the following joint research unit: Institut de physique de Nice (INPHYNI).

The following Russian institutions are part of the LIA PHYNICS:

The Ioffe Institute, on behalf of the following joint research units: Laboratory of Photoelectricity and Non-linear Optics of Semiconductors (LPNOPS), Laboratory of Spectroscopy of Solid State (LabSSS), Laboratory of Physics of Semiconductor Heterostructures (LPSH) and Sector of Theory of Quantum Coherent Phenomena in Solids (TQCPS);
The Kotelnikov Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IRE RAS), on behalf of the following joint research unit: Semiconductor Electronic Department (SED);
The Saint-Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO), on behalf of the following joint research units: Laboratory of Physics of Epitaxial nanostructures (LPEN), Department of Laser Systems and Technologies (DLST);
