Scientific visit of the IPVF for 11 of our PhD and post-doc students

On Friday, September 16, a group of 11 doctoral and post-doctoral students from C2N visited the IPVF (Institut Photovoltaïque d'Île-de-France) premises and laboratories. The program included a presentation of the institute and its 6 research programs by IPVF program director Gregory Marque. IPVF PhD students and post-docs working between IPVF and C2N (Jeronimo Buencuerpo, Carlos Macias, Salim Mejaouri, Daniel Micha, and Capucine Tong) then presented their research work on III-V and perovskite semiconductor solar cells, carried out on the complementary platforms of IPVF and C2N. At the end of the afternoon, the group attended a guided tour of the IPVF's clean room led by the head of the characterization unit, Julie Goffard, and the director of the UMR CNRS, Jean-François Guillemoles.

This visit was organized within the framework of the EUGLOH European project and the collaboration between the IPVF (Institut Photvoltaïque d'Île-de-France) and the C2N.

Coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons

In an optical quantum network, the information is transferred from one node to an other through light. A possible building block for such quantum network is an atom in a cavity. Ideally, every photon sent on the node should interact with the atom. Researchers at C2N, in collaboration with Institut Néel (Grenoble, France) have demonstrated the coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons. The quantum node …

Controlling carbon nanotube photoluminescence using silicon microring resonators

By depositing carbon nanotubes on ring-shaped micro-resonators, researchers at C2N (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) managed to control the light emitted by the nanotubes. This technology could be optimized for future applications in optical telecommunications or integrated circuits for microelectronics. This work was published in the journal Nanotechnology.
