Quasiparticle Andreev scattering in the ν = 1/3 fractional quantum Hall regime
The scattering of exotic quasiparticles may follow different rules than electrons. In the fractional quantum Hall regime, a quantum point contact (QPC) provides a source of quasiparticles with field effect selectable charges and statistics, which can be scattered on …

ERC Consolidator Grants 2022 : Carlos Alonso-Ramos, Laureate for the SPRING project
Carlos Alonso Ramos, CNRS researcher at C2N, has been granted an ERC Consolidator Fellowship for the project SPRING - Silicon opto-electro-mechanics for bridging the gap between photonics and microwaves. Coherent conversion between microwave and optical photons is a …

Quasi-deterministic nanowire growth
The vapor-solid-liquid growth of a semiconductor nanowire proceeds via the sequential nucleation and extension of biatomic monolayers (MLs) at the interface between the nanowire stem and an apical liquid catalyst nanodroplet. Controlling the length of a nanowire section to …

Subwavelength Control of Photons and Phonons in Release-Free Silicon Optomechanical Resonators
Integrated optomechanics finds increasingly broadening applications, requiring tight confinement of photons and phonons within nanometric-scale photonic circuits. However, most existing integrated optomechanical devices use unconventional materials or suspended structures that hinder co-integration with scalable photonic technologies. Here, we show …
