This fundamental and experimental research project aims to discover new physical phenomena at the nanoscale by designing nanostructures, exploring interactions and developing experimental techniques. It comprises four interconnected work modules addressing unique research axes defined at the France-Argentina Workshop on Emerging Phenomena at the Nanoscale 2022 (PhenomeNaS-I):
- The design of a reactive nanophonon platform using chemical methods.
- The study of dynamic effects on magnetic films induced by optically generated surface acoustic waves.
- Exploring the topological properties of 2D systems using state-of-the-art characterization tools and fabrication techniques.
- The development of optically controlled memristive systems based on ferroelectric oxides for neuromorphic applications. PhenomeNaS builds on partnerships between Argentina and France
Several major benefits of the PhenomeNaS consortium have been identified: complementary expertise, access to state-of-the-art facilities and highly qualified human resources, and solid collaborative experience.
The visit of the Argentine Minister of Science and Technology and the President of the CNEA to C2N in February 2023 reinforces this institutional support.
The consortium's efforts aim to contribute to the advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology in both countries. The University of Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de San Martín and Université Paris Saclay actively participated in the PhenomeNaS-I workshop and strongly support the PhenomeNaS IRP initiative.
