Catherine Berrier's Company Details

The research at the "Laboratoire de Physique des Solides" (LPS) covers a wide spectrum in the field of condensed matter physics. The activitiy at LPS develops onto three main topics (each one involving roughly the same number of researchers): 1. New electronic states of matter 2. Physical phenomena with reduced dimensions 3. Soft matter and physics-biology interfaceTopic 1: theoretical and experimental studies, related to the properties of correlated fermions (superconductivity, magnetism, metal-insulator transition).Topic 2: studies related to "nanosciences", broadly speaking. They are tackled from the point of view of fundamental properties, when the dimensions of an object become as small as certain characteristic distances (coherence length, mean free path,...)Topic 3: studies of "soft matter" including biological systems. Topics range from complex systems to living tissues, from liquid crystals to foams, passing through polymers or granular systems. These studies are often at the interface with physical chemistry and biology.
