Tuesday 7 May 2013 at 3pm Room "Remy Lemaire" K 223 (1st floor) Building K, Institut Néel / CNRS Romain MAURAND (University of Basel, Switzerland) We have fabricated suspended monolayer graphene devices on organic lift-off resists. We have extended this technology, which was introduced by N. Trombos et al. in 2011 [1], allowing to add a multitude of bottom and top gates. Using in-situ current annealing, we show that exceptional high...

Tuesday 9 April 2013 at 3pm Room "Remy Lemaire" K 223 (1st floor) Building K, Institut Néel / CNRS Gwendal FEVE (Laboratoire Pierre Aigrain, Paris) The ballistic propagation of electronic waves along the quantum Hall edge channels of a two dimensional electron gas bears strong analogies with photon optics. Ballistic and one-dimensional propagation are ensured by the chiral quantum Hall edge states and electronic beam splitters can be...
[Read More]Josephson nanocircuits as key elements to implement coherent caloritronics
Tuesday 26 March 2013 at 3pm Room "Remy Lemaire" K 223 (1st floor) Building K, Institut Néel / CNRS Francesco GIAZOTTO (Scuola Normale Superiore - Pise, Italie) The Josephson effect [1] represents perhaps the prototype of macroscopic phase coherence and is at the basis of the most widespread interferometer, i.e., the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) [2]. Yet, in analogy to electric...
