Since MOS Field Effect Transistor invention in the 60's, the exploitation of this elementary piece of technology allowed an exponential evolution in the...

Ferroelectric materials are characterized by their spontaneous polarization, whose direction can be reversed by the application of a suitable electric field. Using...

Calorimetry is one of the main techniques of thermal analysis. Most of physical or chemical modifications of material are associated with thermal effects whereby heat...

The synchrotron radiation and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) are the (two) most used techniques to study the physical and chimical properties of nanostructures....

Forming magnesium carbonate minerals through carbonation of magnesium silicates has been proposed as a safe and durable way to store carbon dioxide, with a possibly...

Scanning probe microscopes are very well used for characterization at the nanometer scale. To ensure the measurement coherency and the accuracy of the results, those...

Mesoscopic physic is currently dominated by transport measurements that extract overall electronic properties of the studied sytstems. Tunneling spectroscopy gives...

The development of nanoscience makes the understanding of the electrical properties of nano-objects essential. The Kelvin Force Microscopy (KFM) is one of the most...

Electropermeabilization is a physical technique first developed to transfer cytotoxic drugs in tumor. It consists in the transient permeabilization of the plasma...

This thesis aims to propose a new method of mass storage on hard disks and to prove its feasibility. Thermomagnetic probe recording consists in combining the effect of...

The bacterium P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for serious infections in immunocompromised patients. It also develops some strains resistant to...

Osteoarticular diseases account for approximately 10% of all diseases occurring inFrance each year. The difficulties in identifying their causes are also due to a...

This thesis concerns a context of miniaturization of micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs). This type of device has been used for decades in the field of...

The graphene, a basic sheet of graphite, is a new material intensively studied by the scientific community because of its new and unique physical properties....
