LPCNO Assessment – Table of Contents
RESUME
La caractéristique de l‘UMR 5215, intégrée à l‘IRSAMC 1 , est de rassembler des physiciens et des
chimistes qui sont tous concernés par la synthèse, l‘étude des propriétés physiques et la modélisation de
nano-objets. Cette recherche coordonnée et multidisciplinaire a des retombées très positives aussi bien
sur le plan fondamental qu‘appliqué. Outre les thématiques propres développées au sein de chaque
équipe, de nombreux sujets sont développés à leur interface. Le LPCNO, né au 1 er janvier 2007, s‘est
structuré autour du Laboratoire de Nanophysique, Magnétisme et Optoélectronique (LNMO, EA), unité de
recherche de l‘INSA de Toulouse. Une partie de l‘équipe chimie théorique du Laboratoire de Chimie et
Physique Quantiques (LCPQ, IRSAMC) a rejoint le dispositif, la création d‘une équipe de chimie
expérimentale ayant joué un rôle structurant. Le laboratoire est aujourd‘hui structuré en cinq équipes :
Nanostructures et Chimie Organométallique (NCO) : cette équipe, qui joue un rôle clef dans le
laboratoire, maîtrise les conditions de synthèse de nano-particules (NP).
Nanomagnétisme (NM) : les thématiques de cette équipe concernent l‘étude des propriétés
électroniques, magnétiques et de transport de NP, souvent en étroite collaboration avec l‘équipe NCO.
Nanotech (NTC) : cette équipe développe des techniques d‘assemblage dirigé et d‘adressage électrique
de nano-objets sur des surfaces avec, pour objectif ultime, de réaliser des nano-dispositifs les intégrant.
Optoélectronique quantique (OPTO) : cette équipe s‘intéresse à l‘étude des états électroniques dans
les nano-objets et son expertise de spectroscopie optique est tout à fait complémentaire des équipes
précédentes.
Modélisation physique et chimique (MPC) : cette équipe modélise les propriétés électroniques de
molécules, biomolécules et matériaux, et a développé une thématique « chimie de surface » depuis son
intégration au LPCNO.
La jeunesse du laboratoire peut aussi se juger à la moyenne d‘âge de ses chercheurs et enseignantschercheurs (39 ans). Dès la phase de gestation de cette nouvelle entité il a été veillé à renforcer
différents axes de recherche, stratégiques pour assurer la réussite de l‘opération scientifique, en
particulier en mettant en avant des profils de postes à l'interface physique-chimie.
L‘intérêt d‘un tel laboratoire pluridisciplinaire se mesure au travers des opérations scientifiques interéquipes. Une action importante, qui a contribué à structurer le LPCNO dès son lancement, est orientée
vers des traitements oncologiques par des NPs qui pourront servir soit de marqueurs luminescents soit
d‘agents d‘hyperthermie très localisés. Deux nouvelles opérations transversales impliquant physiciens et
chimistes du LPCNO viennent de débuter: mise au point de nouveaux nanomatériaux pour des
applications photovoltaïques et développement de jauges de contraintes ultra-sensibles pour
applications de type papier électronique ou écrans tactiles souples. Des contrats avec des partenaires
industriels importants impliquent ou ont impliqué plusieurs équipes du laboratoire et montrent que les
thématiques qui sont développées dans ce nouvel ensemble sont aussi en prise directe avec des
préoccupations industrielles. Nous hébergeons en outre dans le laboratoire une start-up (SARL
Nanomeps).
Le LPCNO est caractérisé par une très forte dynamique, comme en atteste en particulier le fort soutien
à la fois en termes d‘infrastructure et de postes par le CNRS, l‘INSA et l‘UPS, ainsi que la participation
au RTRA STAE2, au pôle de compétitivité cancer-biosanté, à un CPER (2007-2012), à 6 projets ANR dont
un est coordonné par le LPCNO3, à des projets internationaux soutenus financièrement. Depuis janvier
2007, le LPCNO a produit plus de 120 publications dans des revues internationales à comité de lecture,
déposé trois brevets (trois autres sont en cours) et ses chercheurs ont présenté environ 30 conférences
invitées.

LPCNO – Résumé du bilan d‘activité
GENERAL PRESENTATION
The key characteristics of the Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-Objects (LPCNO),
which is a member of the Research Federation IRSAMC4, is to bring together physicists and
chemists who are all involved in the synthesis, the assembly, the study of the physical
properties and the modelling of nano-objects. This coordinated and multidisciplinary research
has an important impact on both a fundamental and an applied level. Besides the specific
research activity developed within each group, numerous subjects are developed at their
interface.
Even if the official birth certificate of the LPCNO as a ―mixed‖ research entity INSA-UPS-CNRS
indicates January 1st, 2007, we can date the creation of this laboratory back to January 20th,
2006. On this day the start-up committee of the laboratory started its work.
One year before (February 2005), the LPCNO project was selected by the scientific council of
the ―Tremplin Recherche‖ and presented in the French Senate in Paris. It was the only MidiPyrénées project among the 20 selected national innovative projects.

LPCNO - 1
The LPCNO formed itself around the Laboratory of Nanophysics, Magnetism and
Optoelectronics (LNMO, EA 3937), a research laboratory of INSA Toulouse. Part of the
theoretical chemistry group of the Laboratory of Chemistry and Quantum Physics (LCPQ IRSAMC, UMR 5626) decided to joint the LPCNO project. Finally the creation of a new group of
experimental chemistry played a very important role in the creation of this new structure. This
project followed a long tradition of collaboration between Bruno Chaudret (organo-metallic
experimental chemistry), the theorists from LCPQ and the experimental physicists of the
LNMO.
We planned initially to structure the laboratory in four groups. One of them split into two,
having quickly reached a sufficient, critical size for it (Nanotech and Nanomagnetism). Today,
the Laboratory is composed of five research groups (Figure 1).
Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry (NCO) : this young group (created in 2006),
which plays a key role in the laboratory, masters the conditions of synthesis of Nano-particles
(NP) with two main applications: i) microelectronics and the nanomaterials; ii) detection and
the treatment of cancers. Both axes are investigated in strong collaboration with the groups of
physics of the laboratory. The target is to define the conditions of chemical synthesis allowing
the control of the size, the shape and the surface states of particles in connection with the
aimed properties. In the field of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies the control of the 2D and
3D organization of particles is also very important. The objective is to increase the expertise in
the synthesis of anisotropic magnetic NP to get a better control of their growth on substrates.
The synthesis and the 3D organization of anisotropic magnetic NP are also developed with the
aim of obtaining permanent magnets at high temperature (ANR project Magafil, coord. G.
Viau). Finally, the growth of bimetallic particles within the framework of a European program
is pursued. Since a few months, a special effort has been devoted to the modification and the
functionalization of NP surfaces. At the same time for the development of nanoparticles in
interaction with living cells and for the research activity connected to the development of new
materials, it is essential to master the external envelope of the synthetized nanoparticles:
nanometer sized oxide layers at the surface of iron particles to make them biocompatible;
Core-shell semiconductor particles for medical imaging and future photovoltaic applications;
metal on metal growth to induce new properties (chemical synthesis coupled to a sputtering
machine); attachment of an organic and charged crown for the manipulation and the
controlled deposition on substrates.
Nanomagnetism (NM) : the research subject of this group concerns the study of the
electronic, magnetic and transport properties of NP, often in strong collaboration with the
group NCO. The activity is centred on the study of (i) the effects of size reduction on the
magnetic properties such as the magnetization (contribution of spin, and orbital), the
anisotropy, in particular to see how these characteristics can be modulated by varying the
shape and the chemical composition of nano-objects. (ii) the properties of magneto-transport,
in particular the properties of magnetoresistance in the regime of Coulomb blockade and the
role of organic barriers and the organization in super-lattices. (iii) the optimization of
magnetic nano-objects for applications in the field of the medicine or biology. The group
makes a great effort in the development of new set-ups in the field of the growth of magnetic
nanostructures in the new room of synthesis of nano-objects in LPCNO (operational since spring
2009). The idea is to develop a system which combines the classical techniques of thin films
growth (evaporation, sputtering) and the methods of soft chemistry which allows to synthesize
nano-objects with well-controlled shapes and sizes (ANR project Batmag). This set-up
composed of a ultra-high vacuum sputtering machine coupled to a glove box will allow to
alternate the stages of physical and chemical growth with a transfer under controlled
atmosphere; this entire system should work in autumn 2009. Other experimental developments
are planned. One of them is very challenging but also very promising : to probe the magnetic
properties of a nano-object of some hundreds of B (or less) in a wide range of temperatures
LPCNO - 2
(2K-300K) through the use of a mechanical carbon nanotube resonator. A project of
elaboration of an original device of magnetic moment measurements of a NP was linked to a
new lecturer (―Maître de Conferences‖ INSA) position in 2009.
Nanotech (NTC): This young group develops, at the interface between Physics, Chemistry and
Nanotechnologies, reliable and low-cost techniques for both the directed assembly of nanoobjects onto specific areas of substrates and their electrical nano-addressing. Its final goal is
to study the original physical properties of these nano-objects and to exploit them in
functional nano-devices (gas sensors, strain gauges, electro-optical devices…). Two kinds of
nano-objects are used: colloidal nanoparticles elaborated by chemical synthesis (collaboration
with the NCO group and the LCC laboratory) and silicon nanocrystals fabricated by ion
implantation at ultra-low energy and thermal annealings (collaboration with the CEMES
laboratory). Another strong activity of the Nanotech group concerns various nanocharacterizations by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and its derived electrical modes as Kelvin
Force Microscopy (KFM), Electric Force Microscopy (EFM) or Scanning Capacitance Microscopy
(SCM).
Quantum Optoelectronics (OPTO) : this group is specialized in the study of the electronic
properties of nano-objects and its expertise based on optical spectroscopy is complementary to
the other LPCNO groups. The main research topics concern the control by light of individual or
collective spin states in semiconductor nanostructures. The key points are: i) the investigation
of the electron and nuclear spin dynamics in semiconductor quantum dots (ii) the coherent or
optimal control of the exciton / biexciton system in a single dot by means of shaped optical
pulses (collaboration LCAR-IRSAMC) (iii) the spin dynamics in new nanostructures based on
dilute nitride semiconductors (iv) the study of the electric injection of spin-polarized carriers
in hybrid FM/Semiconductor heterostructures. The wealth of these systems results from the
variety of present spins: conduction electrons, valence holes, paramagnetic centres, atomic
nuclei, and their interactions (ANR project MOMES). The objective is the understanding and
the control of the initialization, reading and coherent manipulation steps of a single confined
electronic spin state, prepared by polarized light pulses or by electric spin injection, in the
framework of the ultimate aim for quantum information processing. In parallel to this activity
on the spin physics, the OPTO group is also involved in applied research subjects on (i) band
structure engineering of optoelectronic devices for optical telecommunication (ANR projects
AHTOS and AROME) and (ii) optical characterization of nano-materials and devices for space
and photovoltaic applications.
Physics and Chemistry Modelling (MPC): the subjects investigated in this group cover a wide
spectrum : interaction of biomolecules within membranes, homogeneous catalysis and
organometallic reactivity (ANR projects Bili and Biopolycat), structural studies of biopolymers
and peptidomimetics, effects of surface species on the properties of metallic clusters and NPs
(ANR project Siderus), reactivity of metallic complexes grafted on silica surface, modelling of
periodic systems - in interaction with experimental groups in Toulouse, as well as with national
and international partners. Two important methodological projects achieved in the framework
of standard methods of molecular Quantum Chemistry structured the researches within the
group: the development of molecular pseudopotentials which allow to accurately model
chemical groups, albeit at low cost, and ab initio molecular dynamics methods. The arrival of
I. Gerber (Lecturer, Maître de conferences INSA, 2007) opened new perspectives of
applications and developments in the domain at the frontier between solid state and surface
chemistry. Beyond structural and energy properties, spectroscopy is at the heart of the
interaction between theoreticians of the MPC group and experimentalists, in particular liquid
and solid-state NMR. This technique brings detailed information, but assistance by theoretical
chemistry is often an imperative for complex systems for which no reference data exist. The
MPC group has strongly developed this useful expertise for biological systems as well as for
clusters and organometallic NPs.
LPCNO - 3
INFRASTRUCTURES
The LPCNO is located at the premises of the Physics Engineering Department of the
National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Toulouse. We share the building together with
the teaching activities (lecture rooms, teaching laboratories,…). This favours the interactions
between research and teaching in the field of nanosciences and nanotechnology, which is a
very good point. However, the rather fast expansion of the laboratory (increase of the
workforce of 30 % within three years) leads to a lack of space for the development of the
research groups. We can point out some striking facts that show the adaptation of the
premises to the new scientific configuration: thanks to the strong support of INSA, ex-nihilo
creation of a experimental chemistry laboratory (6 hoods) dedicated to the synthesis of
nanoparticles by organometallic chemistry, operational since January, 2006; renovation of two
rooms in the basement to accommodate the computing resources of the Physics and Chemistry
Modelling group; renovation of an experimental room for the Nanotech group (40 m2
approximately, operational since spring, 2008). More recently, a lecture theatre of the
department was converted into a new experimental room for the synthesis of nano-objects
(~100 m2), including in particular the installation of 8 new supplementary hoods and an original
experiment of hybrid growth based on a sputtering machine coupled with a glove
compartment. This new room has been operational since spring, 2009.

LPCNO - 4
In June 2009, the LPCNO is composed of 24 permanent researchers/lecturers (14 INSA
lecturers, 6 UPS lecturers, 4 CNRS researchers), 3.5 technicians/engineers/administrative
persons and 19 non-permanent researchers (6 post-doc/invited researchers/ATER and 13 PhD).
Men/women parity is fair, with 16 women vs. 31 men. The ‗youth‘ of the laboratory can be
judged by the mean age of the permanent researchers and lecturers (39 years old in 2009).
From the starting phase of this new entity, a special care was taken to strengthen various
areas of research, strategic to insure the success of the scientific operation, in particular by
opening new research positions at the interface between physics and chemistry. Figure 2
displays the evolution of the laboratory research staff from October 2005 to June 2009. In
addition to the LNMO permanent researchers (10) and the MPC group from the laboratory LCPQ
(5), the new human resources were brought first by INSA :
- 2006: creation of a Professor position in 28th section (G. Viau) in order to diversify the
scientific expertise in the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles and to insure the scientific
responsibility of the NCO group.
- 2006: 1 lecturer (Maître de Conferences) position in 28th section (S Lachaize), to strengthen
the NCO group. Two other young lecturers from the University Paul Sabatier (C. Nayral and F.
Delpech) and a research engineer (K. Soulantika) who were working in different laboratories in
Toulouse, decided to join the new NCO group which thus reached a reasonable size and played
very quickly a central role in the LPCNO laboratory.
- 2007 was a prolific year:
1) 1 INSA Lecturer position in 28th section (I. Gerber) in the MPC group
2) 1 INSA Lecturer position in 28th section (A. Balocchi) in the OPTO group
3) 1 INSA Lecturer position in 28th section (T. Blon) in the NM group
We also received a support from the University Paul Sabatier with the creation in 2008 of a
Professor position in 31th section (theoretical and analytical physical chemistry) which allowed
the promotion of a lecturer IUF in the MPC group (L. Maron). At the same time, another
lecturer from UPS University (M. Respaud) obtained a Professorship at INSA.
In 2008, the LPCNO obtained two new permanent CNRS positions (CR1) in sections 14 and 6.
The first one allowed K. Soulantika, who was a research engineer on contracts (SAIC INSA), to
stabilise her important, creative role in the NCO group. B. Urbaszek, who was lecturer at INSA
and researcher in the OPTO group of LPCNO, also obtained a CNRS (CR1) position in section 6.
The lecturer position he left vacant at INSA allowed to recruit a new young researcher in the
Nanomagnetism group (B. Lassagne, September 2009). However 2008 was also a very sad year
for the laboratory with the death of our colleague and friend J.-P. Daudey in October. JeanPierre was very active in the creation of the laboratory and health problems prevented him
from managing the laboratory as it was initially planned. L. Perrin, young researcher in section
16 (CR2), who has been initially recruited in the URA 2096 (CEA Saclay, CNRS) in 2005, joined
the MPC group in spring 2008.
2009 will see the recruitment in the NCO group of a young lecturer (UPS), on a subject at the
interface between physics and chemistry, and an INSA lecturer who will strengthen the
Nanomagnetism group. We shall underline here that the creation phase of the laboratory came
along with a strong support by INSA, even on the chemistry side of the LPCNO research, while
the laboratory is integrated into the Department of Physics. The LPCNO since then took care to
coordinate the new research position demands towards both university supervision (UPS and
INSA). Then the University Paul Sabatier and the CNRS were very helpful to strengthen the
structure (as it is summarized above). Since the experimental chemistry (sections 32/33) and
the theoretical chemistry (section 31) are not represented in INSA, the new positions in LPCNO
with a chemistry profile or in the interface physics/chemistry are now oriented towards the
UPS supervision and the demands with a purely physics profile towards the INSA supervision.
LPCNO - 5
However we regret the weakness of the accompaniment of the research operations by the
technician/engineer and administrative staff. As shown in figure 1, the human resources in this
field correspond to 3.5 full time positions ; all of them from INSA (no support from CNRS,
neither from UPS). Three persons share their activity with the teaching physics department: M.
Fortune (tech., 50%) for the administrative/financial management ; S. Cayez (IE, 50%) for
structural characterization, C. Crouzet (tech., 50%) for electronics. The latter will be absent
up to the end of 2010 on maternity leave (―Congé parental‖). M. Mourafik (tech, 100%) is in
charge of all the logistics in the laboratory and works for all the groups; in particular he is
responsible for the liquid nitrogen and liquid helium supply. F. Fernando (tech, 100% INSA),
who is not permanent, ensures the administrative and financial management for the CNRS and
UPS credits ; he works under the supervision of R. Poteau (LPCNO Deputy director); M. Fortune
is responsible for the INSA credits ; she works under the supervision of X. Marie.
We hope to have soon a CNRS support for an engineer position.
The increase of the number of permanent researchers was accompanied by a strong increase of
the non-permanent staff which was multiplied by 2.5 since 2005 reaching ~20 phD and postdocs in 2009 (with MENESR, BDI and ANR grants). The laboratory accompanies these nonpermanent researchers to find engineer or research positions after their stay in the LPCNO. In
2009 for instance, four post-doc or ATER researchers got a permanent position (N. Barros, V.
Guieu, J. Maynadié and B. Lassagne as ―Maître de conferences‖ in the University of Perpignan ,
the University J. Fourier in Grenoble, the University Montpellier 2 and INSA Toulouse
respectively ; A. Cornejo got an assistant professor position in the University of Pamplona
(Spain). In 2009, two former LPCNO phD students also got a CNRS position (D. Lagarde as a
Research Engineer in the University of Clermont-Ferrand, L. Lombez in the IRDEP Laboratory in
Chatou as a ―Chargé de Recherche‖), whereas two other former LPCNO PhD students got a
university position, one at Toulouse University (L.-M. Lacroix as ―Maître de Conférences‖ in
University Toulouse 3) and another one at the ENI in Tarbes (L. Lacroix as ―Maître de
Conférences‖).
The large increase of the LPCNO research staff started to raise severe problems linked to the
lack of space in the building. We have no more room for new experiments and offices for
students and researchers. We hope that the CPER project ―LPCNO‖ which was selected for the
second round (2010-2013) will become very soon a reality. This project (~5 M€) includes both a
new complementary building (~900 m2) and new equipments.
TRANSVERSAL OPERATIONS – STRIKING FACTS
An important transversal research activity of the LPCNO concerning the oncologic
treatment by nanoparticles, which can serve either as luminescent markers or as very localized
hyperthermic agents, was selected as an innovative project by the Toulouse centre of
excellence ―Cancer-Bio-Santé‖ and is supported by the Midi-Pyrénées Regional Council. It is
also one of the 6 national projects financed at the national level by the foundation
―InNaBioSanté‖ in 2008 (http: // to www.innabiosante.fr/). This research activity, which
involves most of the LPCNO research groups, is also done in close collaboration with the
Institute C. Régaud (INSERM 563) and the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry (UPR 8241).
This project has been strongly supported by the University Paul Sabatier through the first
biennial call of the scientific council.We also develop an original method for the synthesis of
nano-structures combining the physical methods of ultrahigh vacuum deposition and the
methods of chemical synthesis, allowing to integrate NPs into devices (ANR Batmag, and
Region Midi-Pyrénées project). Both the NCO and NM groups are involved in this important
program.
LPCNO - 6
Two new transverse operations involving LPCNO physicists and chemists have just begun in
2009. The first one concerns the development of new nano-materials for photovoltaic
applications. In addition to the two groups of the LPCNO (NCO and OPTO), this operation also
involves a strong collaboration with the CIRIMAT (UMR 5085), in Toulouse, and the IRDEP (EDFCNRS-ENSCP, UMR 7174) in Chatou. This project has been supported by the University Paul
Sabatier through its biennial calls of the scientific council. The second new transverse
operation involves the Nanotech and NCO groups. It concerns the development of highly
sensitive strain gauges based on metal nanoparticle films deposited on flexible substrates. This
opens up the possibility to integrate them into multimedia applications such as tactile
electronic papers or multi-touch flexible displays (collaboration MOTOROLA).
Moreover, research contracts with important industrial partners (Freescale, Alcatel-Thales,
EDF, France Telecom R*D, CNES, ONERA…) involve (or involved) several groups of the
laboratory and show that the research subjects developed in this new research laboratory are
also in direct connection with industrial applications. Let us recall that the LPCNO
accommodates a start-up (Nanomeps, www.nanomeps.fr), which was simultaneously created
with the laboratory and which synthetizes and sells nanoparticles for various applications.
Different research projects of the laboratory involve this start-up company.
Finally the LPCNO develop strong international collaborations with official and financed
research operations : CNRS ―PICS‖ with Berkeley University (USA), CNRS ―PICS‖ with Material
Science Institute Hanoi (Vietnam), European Inter-Reg IIIA and IVA, University de la Rioja and
University de Navarra (Spain), PRA project with IOP Beijing (China), MOU project with NIMS,
Tsukuba (Japan). The LPCNO researchers are also involved in several European projects: STREP
« SA-Nano » (2006-2008 : Tel Aviv, Munich, Toulouse) ; ITN « Spin-Optronics » (2009-2012 : 10
european partners) ; COST 288 (2004-2007 : 13 partners) ; COST MP805 « Novel Gain Materials
and Devices Based on III-V-N Compounds» (2009-2013 : 15 partners) ; European Network for
Actinide Science (ACTINET)
GOVERNANCE - RESOURCES
The size of the laboratory, 28 permanent employees, offers us the advantage of
flexibility and short reaction time. The governance of the laboratory is structured by its
director and deputy director. An executive committee (―Comité de direction‖), constituted by
the directors and the heads of the five research groups, regularly meets, according to the
current events and the decisions to be taken (project calls, human resources….). Every group
leader is in charge of leading his(her) group at the same time on a scientific and administrative
level and of informing the group members about the decisions taken within the executive
committee and the laboratory council. This laboratory council gathers in general assembly
approximately every three months to take important decisions and to discuss the achievements
of the laboratory. In addition, important collective tasks are performed by
lecturers/researchers : J. Grisolia is the LPCNO Web-Master, H. Carrère is in charge of the
LPCNO communications and C. Nayral and S. Lachaize organize the LPCNO seminar (once a
month typically ; see the list on lpcno.insa-toulouse.fr ) and the IRSAMC seminar respectively.
F. Jolibois co-organized the 2009 annual meeting of the IRSAMC research federation.
The LPCNO budget is presented in figure 3. Besides the ―quadriennal‖ financing (INSA, CNRS,
UPS), ANR research projects and industrial contracts, it is necessary to underline the CNRS
support via specific coordinated actions (‗Crédits d‘intervention INP, INC‘) which allowed us to
obtain significant funding in 2007 (40 k€), 2008 (70 k€) and 2009 (44 k€). This was very useful
during the LPCNO creation period when many new research experiments were set-up. We also
coordinate a PPF project (NEMO, Nano-objects for Electronics, Magnetism and Optics; 20072010), which allows to amplify collaborations between several laboratories of the Toulouse site
LPCNO - 7
: CEMES, LNCMI, LAAS, LCC, LPCNO. The recognition at the local level (UPS, INSA, PRES,
Region) of our scientific projects was besides translated by obtaining several PhD and post-doc
grants, BQR financing (24 k€ UPS + 8 k€ INSA in 2007, 20 k€ INSA in 2008 and 20 k€ in 2009).
The common laboratory costs (seminars, papers, telephone, photocopy, mail…) are financed
through the ―quadriennal‖ financing (20 % of the INSA, CNRS and UPS money covered these
costs). Note that most of these common costs are shared with the Physics Engineering
Department (teaching activity). Up to now, we did not have to take in addition overheads on
other research contracts (ANR, industry…).

SUMMARY
The LPCNO is characterized by a very dynamic evolution, as documented by the
particularly strong support in terms of infrastructure and researcher/lecturer positions by
CNRS, INSA and UPS as well as the participation to the RTRA STAE (Science et Technologie pour
l’Aéronautique et l’Espace), to the centre of excellence ―Cancer-biosanté‖, to one CPER
project ( 2007-2012 ), to 6 ANR projects among which two are coordinated by the LPCNO. Since
January, 2007 (creation date of the laboratory), the LPCNO produced more than 120
publications5 in peer-reviewed international journals (fig. 4), 5 book chapters and deposited
three patents (three others are in progress) and his(her) researchers presented 31 invited
conferences. LPCNO members were chair or co-chair of program committees of 2 conferences,
most of them international. Finally they participated in the program committees of 10
international conferences and workshops, and 1 national conference.
This was possible thanks to the large number of young lecturers/researchers of the
laboratory who put a lot of enthusiasm into the teaching and research activity and participate
as well to the collective life of INSA and UPS.

This represents 1.7 major publications per faculty member per year in less than 3 years.
These numbers are related to the number of people, not the number of full-time ―researcher-equivalent‖
people, whereby faculty members with teaching positions count for half a researcher. Using this rule, we
get approximately 3 major publications per faculty full-time ―researcher-equivalent‖ per year.
LPCNO - 8
The scientific objectives of each group are well identified together with transversal projects
(involving different LPCNO groups) and collaborations at the national and international level,
as we shall see in the detailed reports presented below.

Annexe 1 : Enseignement et formation par la recherche, information et culture
scientifique et technique
The key characteristics of the LPCNO laboratory is that it is composed of 85% lecturers (there are only 4
permanent CNRS researchers). We emphasize that three of these CNRS researchers also give lectures in
INSA or at the University. All the LPCNO lecturers are strongly involved in teaching activities and
administrative tasks linked to teaching both at a Bsc or Master level. In addition to their compulsory
teaching activities, several LPCNO lecturers are also very active outside INSA and the university to spread
scientific culture for teenagers or large public.
The LPCNO members have also been elected in different INSA and University councils:
- A. Balocchi, B. Viallet, L. Ressier, M. Mourafiq, X. Marie : INSA Physics Department Council
- J. Grisolia : INSA “Administration” Council
- T. Amand, X. Marie : INSA Scientific Council (X. Marie :Vice-President)
- R.Poteau : Université Paul Sabatier « UFR PCA » Scientific council (since 2006), Chemistry department
council (2004-2008),
- F. Jolibois, Université Paul Sabatier Chemistry department council and “UFR PCA” educational
committee (since 2008)
The details below are written in french because of the very specific organization of the french higher
education system (the LPCNO lecturers work both in INSA and the Université Paul Sabatier which have
rather different policies).

De façon générale, les enseignants-chercheurs de l‘UPS ont beaucoup œuvré dans le cadre de la mise en place du
LMD dans le département de chimie. Les enseignants-chercheurs en chimie théorique se sont en particulier
fortement investis dans la proposition pour la période 2011-2015 d‘un master chimie, spécialité chimie théorique,
qui serait proposé à la fois en présentiel et à distance (classe virtuelle) ainsi, dans une moindre mesure, que dans la
mise en place d‘un nouveau master « Physico-Chimie du Vivant et de la Santé ». Ils contribuent en outre à la
reconnaissance de cette spécialité à l‘échelon international, l‘Université Paul Sabatier étant la seule université
française impliquée dans un master Erasmus Mundus « Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling »,
habilité pour la période 2010-2015.
Opération : « les enseignants du secondaire à l’université »
En 2008-2009, le LPCNO a contribué à l‘opération « lien avec la politique scientifique d‘aujourd‘hui » de
l‘académie de Toulouse, dont l‘objectif est de faire le lien entre l‘enseignement scientifique actuel et la recherche
menée dans les laboratoires du campus scientifique toulousain. Des enseignants de collèges ou lycées viennent sur
une journée à la rencontre des chercheurs et des enseignants-chercheurs au sein d‘un laboratoire. Nous avons reçu
15 enseignants environ, le 15 janvier 2009. La matinée fut consacrée à une présentation rapide de la recherche
menée au LPCNO, suivie de 3 ateliers thématiques, permettant de mieux saisir la nature des recherches menées :
chimie et synthèse de NPs organométalliques, principe d‘un banc d‘hyperthermie en relation avec le projet nanooncologie, lasers et propriétés optiques de nanoparticules. Après un repas pris en commun entre participants et
intervenants, l‘après-midi fut consacrée à la visite des services de TP de physique de l‘INSA et de chimie de l‘UPS,
qui hébergent de nombreux appareils de pointe, proches de ceux utilisés dans le domaine de la recherche
académique ou industrielle.
L‘opération sera renouvelée en 2009-2010.

Dispositions mises en œuvre en fonction des risques. Priorités retenues.
Les dangers sont hiérarchisés et cotés sur le document unique mais aucun plan d‘action n‘a été rédigé. Des actions
sont menées régulièrement afin de réduire les risques.
Les installations électriques, les engins de levage, les générateurs de rayons X, les hottes et sorbonnes sont
contrôlés annuellement.
Le 11 juin 2008, les installations laser du département ont été contrôlées et une formation a été proposée le
lendemain sur l‘utilisation des lasers et la mise en sécurité des salles.
Fonctionnement des structures d'hygiène et de sécurité propres à l'unité (ACMO, comité spécial d'hygiène et de

Dispositions mises en oeuvre pour la formation des personnels et notamment des nouveaux entrants (y compris
stagiaires, doctorants…).
Les formations obligatoires (risque chimique, habilitation électrique, …) sont proposées tous les ans.
La formation des nouveaux entrants n‘est pas formalisée. Un document leur est remis à leur arrivée précisant les
règles de sécurité du département et la conduite à tenir en cas d‘alerte, puis une formation spécifique leur est
donné par leur responsable.
Problèmes de sécurité qui subsistent.
La Centrale de Traitement d‘Air (CTA) du laboratoire de chimie n‘est pas associée à une régulation de
température, ce qui entraîne des températures inférieures à 10°C en hiver et supérieures à 30°C en été (l‘éther
bout alors sans chauffe ballon). De plus, la CTA disjoncte régulièrement. Cette défaillance met le local en
dépression, qui conduit à un déséquilibre des flux d'air qui rendent les hottes et les sorbonnes inopérantes (constaté
lors du contrôle annuel). Certaines bouches de soufflage d'air sont mal positionnées et rendent les sorbonnes
inopérantes (constaté lors du contrôle annuel). Des solutions techniques sont en cours d‘étude pour résoudre
rapidement ce problème très important.
Suite au contrôle des installations laser, plusieurs améliorations ont été réalisées, mais il y a encore des
modifications à apporter aux différentes salles.
La Sécurité incendie : Lors de la réhabilitation du bâtiment les plans d‘évacuation devront être refaits et le
boîtier incendie repositionné. Certaines portes devront être changées afin de résister au feu.

Introduction
The group of experimental chemistry of the LPCNO (previously LNMO) was created in 2005 by
Bruno Chaudret as an extension of the ―Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry‖ group of the LCC,
partly thanks to a convention between CNRS and INSA. The reasons that prompted to implant
experimental chemistry in the LPCNO was, first, the strong collaborations existing between chemists of
the LCC and physicists of INSA and also the ambition to create a new laboratory gathering a
multidisciplinary culture in the field of nanosciences and nanotechnology. Dealing with the
―Nanostructures and Organometallic Chemistry‖ group, the aim was to form a group on two sites with
strong interactions thanks to a common seminar and sharing characterizations tools and know-how in the
field of nanoparticles chemistry. During the period 2006-2009 the NCO group has been reinforced in the
LPCNO by several nominations. In September 2006, S. Lachaize and G. Viau integrated the group as
INSA Assistant Professor and Professor, respectively. In 2008, K. Soulantica, previously research engineer
in the group, was successful in a position of Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS. In September 2009, a new
Assistant Professor of Paul Sabatier University will join the NCO group. This group is now an independent
and self consistent research group, well integrated in the LPCNO and linked through several collaborations
with the LCC.
Our main activity consists in the synthesis of metal, oxide and semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) by
liquid phase processes (organometallic chemistry, polyol process or modified sol-gel methods) for
applications in the field of biology and medicine, on one hand, and for bottom up approaches of new
electronic devices and functional materials, on the other hand. The understanding of the nucleation and
growth steps in solution allows to synthesize monodispersed NPs in a broad size range and with a great
variety of shape. This control of morphology offers the possibility to tune the desired magnetic or optical
property of the particles. These ones can be used as models for the study of physical properties depending
on the particle size and shape. We develop also the syntheses of more complex objects: - metal oxide coreshell particles for protection toward oxidation; hybrid particles for the combination of optic and magnetic
properties or to address the problem of NPs connectivity; particles functionalized with organic molecules
in the perspective of a potential integration in new electronic devices.
Dealing with the biological applications the NCO group is involved in the transversal project ―NanoOncology‖ that started in 2006, the objectives of which are to design and to develop new therapeutic tools
in oncology to address the questions of (i) in vivo detection and (ii) hyperthermia treatment with new
biolabelled core/shell nanoparticles. The core should have optimized physical properties (i) luminescent
and (ii) magnetic , and the shell should be protective against deterioration, biocompatible and easily
functionalized with peptides. This is a multidisciplinary research project involving physicians, biologists,
chemists and physicists that sets up a competence network contributing to the local project of Canceropôle
in Toulouse. This project received the support of the scientific committee of the ―Pôle de compétitivité
Cancer-Bio-Santé‖.

Monodispersed iron nanoparticles
In the framework of the Nano-Oncology project, the LPCNO physicists have modelled that magnetic
nanoparticles with a high magnetization should give the best results in hyperthermia treatment if the size
was optimized. Metallic iron was then a material of choice for that application and the range of size from 5
to 15nm was the one to focus our study on. No size and shape controls for iron(0) NPs were reported in the
literature. We have then developed the synthesis of pure iron nanoparticles (NPs) with a good control of
their mean size, their size dispersion and their shape during the last 3 years.
We have prepared ultra-small iron(0) germs of 1.5nm ( = 0.5nm) by reduction of the iron dimer
{Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2}2 (1) under a dihydrogen atmosphere, at 150°C, without any additional stabilizing
reactant[NCO-31]. Their crystal structure was the one of -Mn as measured by WAXS.
We investigated the kinetic of the precursor (1) decomposition/reduction in presence of primary amine
and carboxylic acid, by magnetometric measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy, in addition to a
morphological study of the produced NPs by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). We then
rationalized the NPs syntheses: first, we formed cubic NPs self-organized into organic lamellar
superstructures at high carboxylic acid concentrations whereas at low carboxylic acid concentrations, we
only formed spherical NPs since the growth environment was kept isotropic. Second, tuning the carboxylic
acid concentration within the ―cubic or spherical ranges‖ allowed us to finely tune the mean size of the
NPs, whatever their shape (Fig. 1)[NCO-38].
We proposed a new synthetic approach for iron NPs elaboration based on the ripening of ultra-small
iron(0) germs by different carboxylic acid and amine mixtures. Such a procedure had never been
documented before. The result was the possibility to prepare spherical NPs larger than with the previous
method.
As an interesting extension to the ripening strategy, we changed the carboxylic acid to an ammonium
chloride. This increased the reaction kinetics, enlarged the panel of spherical NPs samples available and
allowed the formation of large cubic NPs that were not entrapped all together into large micrometric
superstructures. We took profit of this last point in the study of one or few isolated nanocubes by magnetic
holography[NCO-30].

non alcoholic media
developed a new process to form silica by sol-gel in a
homogeneous non alcoholic medium compatible with the Fig. 2: TEM image and schematic representation of silica
nanoparticles with its organic shell
organometallic chemistry developed in the group.
Silica nanoparticles of adjustable size (between 18 and 174
nm) have been prepared and stabilised in organic non-alcoholic solvents (THF and DME), in a one-pot
NCO-20
process. This novel route is based on hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane, using water as
reactant and different primary amines (butylamine, octylamine, dodecylamine, hexadecylamine) as
catalysts. The amine plays not only a catalyst role but is also implied, as well as the solvent, in the
stabilisation process and the size control of the particles. A detailed NMR study demonstrates a core-shell
structure in which the silica core is surrounded by a layer of alkylammonium ions together with
solvent[NCO-49].

We have adapted the silica formation process developed in organic non

(diameter 12 nm) prepared and stabilised themselves in non protic
media by the organometallic way. Thanks to the compatibility of the
synthesis media and to a very fine control of the ratio water/metal,
FeCo NPs have been embedded into silica with no loss of their initial
saturation magnetization (Ms = 150 emu/g before and after coating),
which is an unprecedented result. They can be trapped in a silica
matrix or dispersed in small silica grains (40-100 nm)[NCO Patent 2007].

Organometallic synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals
InP is one of the most promising material due to
pertinent emission colour range and low toxicity, in contrast
to the common CdS or CdSe NPs. However, preparation of
high quality (in terms of emission efficiency and stability)
InP nanocrystals is highly challenging, and is closely related
to the surface states control.

We have fully characterized the surface chemistry of the

luminescence quenching encountered. The latter problem can be partially addressed when shelling with
larger gap semiconductors, and we have prepared highly luminescent water soluble InP/ZnS nanocrystals
of 3.5 nm. Time resolved luminescence studies performed in collaboration with the LPCNO OPTO group
clearly showed the absence of variation of the decay time with temperature and illustrated low defect
concentration and strong confinement. These particles are stable in air over a long period of time (more
than 6 months). These QDs are currently evaluated as bio-labels for functionalisation in the context of
cancer detection.

The chemical synthesis of nanoparticles presents the advantages of simplicity and low cost with
respect to physical approaches. Either for 3D nanostructured materials or for electronic devices based on a
2D particles assembly the method that consists in synthesizing the particles first and by organizing them
subsequently presents the advantage to gain control over the final material parameters by tailoring
independently the particles shape and their organization.
In this context during the last period we focused on: - the synthesis of magnetic anisotropic particles
well suited for a bottom up approach of hard magnetic materials; - the functionnalisation of nanoparticles
for their integration in electronic devices; - the heterogeneous growth on substrates.

2.1 Anisotropic and hybrid nanoparticles
2.1.1 Growth of anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles : rods, wires and multipods
We developed 2 methods for the synthesis of magnetic nanowires and rods in liquid phase. The first
method is based on an organo-metallic route, the second one is based on a reduction in liquid polyol.
Cobalt nanorods were obtained by a variation of a method developed by F. Dumestre et al. [Angew.
Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 5213]. This modified method yielded large 3D super-lattices of Co nanorods
organized side by side along their long axis[NCO-17]. Modification of the ligands ratios influences the
nucleation and growth steps, giving rise to cobalt multipods. In the framework of a thesis in co-direction
with the laboratory ―Interactions Moléculaires et Réactivité Chimique et Photochimique‖ we have as an
objective the fabrication of artificial muscles combining cobalt nanoparticles with liquid crystalline
polymers and elastomers. We are currently studying the response of the composite material to an externally
applied magnetic field.
We developed also the synthesis of cobalt and cobalt-nickel rods and wires by reduction cobalt and
nickel carboxylates in basic solution of 1,2 propanediol and 1,2 butanediol. We showed that, by acting
upon the basicity of the medium, the nature of the carboxylates and the ramping temperature, it was
possible to synthesize monodisperse rods and wires with a mean diameter in the range 5-30 nm and a
length in the range 100-250 nm[NCO-37]. We studied the influence of the experimental parameters on the
particle morphology and we proposed a mechanism based on a kinetic control of the particle growth[NCO-47].
We described also the

of

rods with the hexagonal
close-packed structure that
have grown from a seed

Fig. 5 : TEM images of magnetic particles prepared by the polyol process
The rods and wires
(a) Co nanodumbbells; (b) CoNi nanowires; (c) CoNi tetrapod
prepared by both methods
are well crystallized with a hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure with the crystallographic c-axis along
the long axis of the particle. These and exhibit very high coercivity (up to 10 kOe) related to the high shape
anisotropy and to the high magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the hcp phase. Moreover, very high remanent
magnetizations were recorded on aligned cobalt rod assemblies that make these rods interesting building
blocks for ultra high magnetic density recording applications and permanent magnets[NCO-26, NCO-45, NCO-50].
At the moment these methods of elaboration are unique and it is important to emphasize their
complementarity: controlled surface state and self-organisation in case of cobalt rods prepared by the
organometallic route, tuneable diameter and resistance to oxidation in case of cobalt rods prepared by the
polyol process.
2.1.2 Hybrid nanoparticles
An emerging direction of increasing importance in the research on nanomaterials is the transition from
simple nanocrystals to multifunctional nanocrystals. These nano-objects do not only possess the multiple
properties of their components but may also exhibit new properties stemming from the interactions
between the components. A special category of multifunctional materials contains two distinct domains of
different materials joined to one another and forming
one nanocrystal. In the framework of the European
STREP project SA-NANO the afore-mentioned
―organometallic‖ cobalt nanorods have been used as
seeds for the heterogeneous growth of gold on them.
By a judicious choice of the gold precursor, in mild
conditions and by controlling the surface chemistry
we can have access either to gold decorated cobalt Figure 6: TEM image of hybrid nanoparticles (scale bars 100 nm)
nanorods or gold tipped nanorods (Fig. 6).
Interestingly gold is found to grow epitaxially on the lateral sides of Co nanorods, while its growth on the
NCO-22
tips happens in a constrained way[NCO-16]. In the framework of the same project, in collaboration with U.
Banin we have used CdSe nanorods as seeds for cobalt growth. Spherical Co tips but also Co nanorods
have been grown on CdSe (Fig. 6) giving rise to the first ferromagnetic hybrid ―magnetic metalsemiconductor‖ nanocrystals[NCO-39].
We described also the formation of cobalt-nickel nano-dumbbells in liquid polyol. These particles are
made up of a central hcp cobalt rod and two ending nickel platelets with the fcc structure that have grown
in epitaxy. This particular shape is obtained when the conditions are fulfilled to precipitate mixture of a
cobalt alkoxyde and a nickel hydroxyacetate as intermediate phase before the metals reduction[NCO-23].
2.2 Functionnalization and bidimensional organizations – Toward integration in electronic
devices
2.2.1 Connectivity of CoAu hybrid particles
The organisation of gold tipped cobalt nanorods on flat
substrates is the objective of collaboration between our group
and the group of J. Spatz (Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart). We
have managed to connect the gold tips of the nanorods to the
gold nanoparticles which are perfectly organized on flat
substrates. The patterned substrates are functionalized with a
dithiol which is attached to the gold particles by one of the
functional groups, while the second group is let free to be
connected to the incoming gold tipped Co nanorods (Fig. 7).
The next step is to use a magnetic field in order to align the
nanorods on the substrates in collaboration with the group
« NanoMagnetism (NM) » of the LPCNO.

2.2.2 Interaction of metal NPs with oxide surfaces – Elaboration of variable capacitors
In collaboration with UMP Thales-CNRS-Université Paris 11 and ITODYS (Université Paris 7Diderot) sputtering and colloidal chemistry were combined to prepare [Co / Al 2O3 // Ru nanoparticles //
Al2O3 / Co] junctions, for application as variable capacitors (Fig. 8). These devices rely on Coulomb
blockade in the bi-dimensional assembly of nanoparticles. The Ru
Si
nanoparticles were prepared by the polyol process and were grafted
Co
on silanised alumina tunnel barriers. AC measurements showed a
Al2O3
significant capacitance variation as a function of applied DC voltage
Co
Ru
with the maximum of relative variation ( C/C) at 1.1 V and a C/C
Al2O3
value proportional to the particle density embedded in the dielectric
layer in good agreement with the theoretical model. This approach is
original because only very few studies deal with the use of metal
10 nm
nanoparticles prepared by chemistry for the elaboration of solid state
devices. We showed that combined to the physical elaboration Fig. 8: Cross section of a variable capacitor
process of ultrathin tunnel barriers, chemistry allows to gain control integrating a Ru NPs monolayer
over the devices parameters by tailoring the 2D assembly[NCO-24].
We developed also the synthesis of 1.7 nm size Pt particles and their functionalization with mercaptocarboxylic acids. These bifunctionnal molecules allowed the NPs anchoring on alumina tunnel barrier[NCO33]
. Besides the grafting of particles we studied the effect of NPs functionalization on their spectroscopic
and structural properties. In particular, by high energy XRD showed that the structure of 2 nm size Ru
particles is strongly modified by functionnalzation by thiols[NCO-27].
2.2.3 Gold particles for nanoxerography
In collaboration with the group Nanotech of the LPCNO we developed the synthesis of gold
nanoparticles well suited for nanoxerography experiments. Colloidal solution in hexane of 2 nm gold NPs
coated with long chain quaternary ammonium were prepared and 2D nanoparticle monolayers were
directly assembled by simple immersion onto charged patterns written by AFM on PMMA thin films[NCO48]
.
NCO-23
2.3 Heterogeneous growth on substrates
In this transversal project in collaboration with the NM group of the LPCNO we develop new kinds of
anisotropic and hybrid nanostructured architectures made up of nanocrystals monolithically grown on a
substrate. For example, the direct growth of cobalt nano-rods on substrates can overcome the problems
related to the functionalisation of already formed nano-rods and their integration a posteriori in
predetermined areas of substrates. An additional advantage could be simplification of the electrical
connection. The general strategy is the wet chemistry heterogeneous nucleation and growth of nano-objects
on predefined areas on flat substrate. It permits to envisage a monolithic integration of a variety of
materials in flat components of future devices, while assuring their positional and orientational order on the
surface of the substrate. Two axes are followed in parallel. Both axes include two steps: (i) the definition of
the growth points on the substrate and (ii) the growth of final nano-objects by wet chemistry.
a)
The nano-objects are grown using as seeds nanoparticles deposited on substrates. These substrates
are characterized by the highly organized patterns of nanoparticles of various materials. This axis is
followed in the framework of a collaboration with the group of J. Spatz (Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart).
b)
The nano-objects are grown using as seeds nanoparticles epitaxially grown on substrates by
physical vapour deposition (either continuous 2D layers or 3D islands deposited on substrates). This axis
is followed in the framework of the ANR BATMAG (2007-2010) in collaboration E. Snoeck (CEMES).
Some very interesting results are the object of a valorisation project of the LPCNO. A patent is currently
under preparation with the financial support of AVAMIP.
3- Model nanoparticles for ecotoxicology and astrophysics
Our expertise in the field of nanoparticles and colloidal solutions led us to develop collaborations with
groups working in the fields of earth sciences, environment and process engineering.

Funding: PCMI program, ANR, PPF «Molecules et Grains : du Laboratoire à l'Univers »
This work, coupling observational data, theoretical, modelling and experimental studies, takes place in the
context of the comprehension of interstellar dust cycle (star formation) and the preparation of the analysis
of the observational data which will be soon accessible by spatial missions Herschel and Planck.
Observations realised in different sites of interstellar medium have evidenced new optical properties which
cannot be reproduced by standard astrophysical grains models. Confirming the observations, FIR
emissivity for amorphous silicates and simple silica measured in our studies appears to depend on the
temperature and the frequency. We measured, for different samples (silica particles (500nm), silica fumed,
and micronic grains of MgSiO3, Mg2SiO4, Mg1.5SiO3.5), a deep variation of optical properties with
temperature, which is compatible, on one hand with astrophysical data, and on the other hand with the
physical model developed at CESR. We showed that physisorbed water in surface of silicate and silica
samples is not responsible for the observed temperature and frequency dependence whereas OH groups
could be at the origin of the submillimeter properties of the materials[NCO-21].
3.2 – Water depollution
Students involved: F. Astié (Master), Y. Liu (PhD), M. Tourbin (Post-doc)
Collaborations: P. Guiraud (LISBP, Fr)
Funding: Région Midi-Pyrénées, CNRS, INSA.
Pr. Guiraud has initiated this project that aim at preventing the contamination of industrial wastewater
by nanoparticles. It is based on the observation that classical treatment units are built to efficiently filter
micrometric particles. So forcing the nanoparticles to agglomerate into stable and micrometric aggregates
during a preliminary step should allow a quite simple update of what is already in use. The researches then
focused on the agglomeration mechanism and kinetics in presence of mineral salts and/or surfactants
NCO-24
(coagulation-flocculation), or in the presence of air bubbles (flotation). Physicochemical studies on
aqueous SiO2 colloids have established the concentration range of aluminium salt and cetylammonium
bromide that gave the best efficiency. A small capacity treatment unit coupling both the coagulation and
the flotation methods is under construction.

Introduction.
From a general point of view, in the nanotechnology-based world which is predicted to emerge,
magnetic nanostructures and among them magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) may play a major role. In the field
of bio-nanotechnologies, they are already used as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging and for
magnetic separation, but are also promising materials for magnetic hyperthermia applications or drug
targeting. With respect to magnetic recording, the increase of storage density requires the optimization of
high-anisotropy nanomaterials. Finally, the use of magnetic NPs with well-controlled properties may open
new opportunities in spintronics. Fundamental studies are still required, if one aims to control the
magnetization, anisotropy, the magnetization process, and transport properties. This is particularly crucial
in complex nano-object who aim to combine at least two properties (magnetic / luminescence, magnetic /
catalytic, …) like nano-alloys, core shell or heterodimers systems (either inorganic or organic).
Our group is composed of three experimentalists, specialist of nanomagnetism and spintronics,
covering complementary fields, thin film growth and electronic microscopy, magnetisation studies (static
and dynamic properties, ferromagnetic resonance, Mössbauer spectroscopy), and magnetotransport
properties. A large part of our activity is done in very close collaboration with the chemists who develop
the synthesis in mild conditions of NPs, either at the LCC or LPCNO. In the past years, we have
demonstrated that magnetic measurements are very powerful techniques, and sometimes the unique ones,
which allow a fine characterisation of the size distributions, the surface state, the presence and
identification of residues of precursors, that cannot be detected by microscopy or conventional
spectroscopy studies. Used as feedback, these information are crucial to make the good choice in terms of
precursors, ligands, synthesis conditions (T°, atmosphere,…). Since now more than 15 years, we develop
with these chemists and the physicians who do the transmission electronic microscopy studies and the band
structure calculations a unique and common knowledge on material science in magnetic nanometric objects
at the interface between chemistry and physics.
Once the synthesis conditions are refined to get a well defined system of NPs, deeper magnetic
studies and analysis are carried out to extract the magnetic properties in term of magnetic parameters
(saturation magnetization, anisotropy, …) and magnetization behaviour (switching mechanisms, role of
interactions, static and dynamic properties)[NM-15,22,23]. This enables us to investigate the exact role of size
reduction, shape, composition and chemical distribution in nano-alloys, or heterodimers, with the final aim
to get some idea on the way to tune them[NM-8,12,25,28]. In a further step, others magnetic studies like
magnetotransport or hyperthermia measurements are done, the quality of the systems and the adapted
experimental developments giving rise to original results[NM-14,18,19,30]. Our implication and close
collaboration with the chemists also manifests through the development of the ‗hybrid synthesis‘, which
combines the advantage of chemical and physical growth methods, for a monolithic integration (with
epitaxial growth by chemical synthesis) of nano-objects in nanodevices. Some of these aspects are then
illustrated in the following parts.
1 – Material science and magnetic analysis.
A large part of our activity is devoted to materials science on nanoscaled systems. On one hand, we
participate to the optimisation and understanding of the chemical synthesis of nano-objects by using
NM - 27
magnetic studies (magnetisation, Mössbauer spectroscopy). On another hand, we performed more
advanced magnetic studies and analysis which allow the highlight the unique properties of these nanoobjects.
Magnetic studies for NPs growth optimisation.
Different systems have been characterised, consisting in monometallic, or bimetallic NPs with different
chemical distributions (alloys, core-shell, or heterodimers). One of the most important studies has been
devoted to the synthesis of well controlled monometallic Fe nanoparticles. Fe is a key material in the field
of magnetic material, and the control of the magnetization necessitates a fine control of the surface
chemistry. Moreover, the control of size or shape is necessary to adapt the properties to the targeted
applications. In this context, since the classical methods of characterisations based on RMN spectroscopy
are avoided, we demonstrate by combining magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy, we
can follow the kinetics of the precursor decomposition and the NP growth as a function of the synthesis
parameters (acid/amine ligands, temperature). This has allowed either a fine control of the surface state and
of the size and shape. An original magnetic study on Fe nanocube synthesised using these optimised
methods is shown below[NM-23,27].
Simulation and analysis of the magnetic properties.
Magnetism 3d/4d systems: The modulation of the anisotropy of NPs, especially towards hard materials
implies the synthesis of nano-alloys, which combines one 3d metal with a high saturation magnetization
and another polarisable material with a high spin orbit coupling. We performed an experimental exhaustive
study aiming at measuring the anisotropy, spin and orbital magnetism in 2nm CoRh bimetallic NPs in
collaboration
with
C. Amiens (LCC - Toulouse). Our collaborations with G. Pastor (Univ. Kassel) and J.L. Dorantes Davila
(Univ. San Luis Potossi - Mexico) who made some band structure calculations including spin orbit effects
on NPs of similar sizes (up to 500 atoms) have permit to evidence the kea role of (i) chemical segregation,
(ii) induced magnetism on 4d atoms, on the anisotropy and magnetic moment. We get for the first time a
good agreement of the theoretical estimates and experimental results, which enable us to conclude that the
anisotropy optimisation is much more complex in NP than in bulk materials, the latter being not the more
favourable here.

Micromagnetic simulations : E. Snoeck and C. Gatel recently
develop the magnetic imaging of nano-objects using electron
holography in transmission electronic microscopy in CEMESCNRS (Toulouse). Co nanorods and Fe nanocubes grown up by
chemical methods are systems of choice to investigate the
magnetic configuration and the exact role of size and shape.
Compares to current studies, these free standing systems behaves
as really free systems without the influence of a substrate. Figure 1
shows one of the most original result with the observation of a
vortex state in a single 30 nm iron nanocubes. Our group
performed the micromagnetic simulations using the public code
OOMMF to simulate the magnetic configuration (vortex), which
allow us to determine the nanocube properties (saturation
magnetization, anisotropy, vortex core size). Future measurements
on smaller iron nanocubes and spheres are planned to get the
critical size at which the monodomain, vortex transition occurs,
and the exact role of shape…[NM-22]

2- Experimental developments.
During the past four years, the group made several experimental developments which allow us to get
very original results. Two of them are described in more details below. We also improved our
magnetotransport experiment to measure very high impedance which allowed us to make the first
experiments on NPs superlattices (see part 4).
Set-up for hyperthermia measurements.
In a medical treatment using hyperthermia, it is generally assumed that the product µ0H.f should
not exceed 6x106 Hz.mT [R. Hergt et al., J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 311, 187 (2007)]. Using a frequency f around
100-300 kHz (imposed by biological constraints) leads to an applied magnetic field µ0H of the order of 2060 mT. The scarce experiments of hyperthermia as a function of f reported in the literature were done using
homemade power resonators and coils. In general, the alternative µ0H is in many cases produced by a coil
connected to a high power rf generator, the set-up working at a unique f. However, the study of the
frequency dependence of the hyperthermia is necessary for deeper insights into this phenomenon.
We developed a frequency-adjustable hyperthermia setup, using an original approach which
combines homemade elements such like a high-frequency electromagnet of Litz wire and of a resonating
transformer. The final optimized setup requires a very low power to produce the alternative magnetic field
up to 30 mT, with adjustable f in the range 2-100 kHz. To improve the sensitivity of the setup, a
differential temperature measurement is used, leading to sensitivity better than 1.5 mW at 100 kHz[NM-21].
This unique setup has been particularly relevant, allowing the observation and analysis of the frequencydependence of the coercive field of magnetic NPs from hyperthermia measurements. (see part 5).
‘Hybrid’ synthesis and nano-object integration.
The optimisation and refinement of the chemical synthesis procedures give well defined NPs with
original properties. However, efficient routes are desired to integrate them into nanostrutures to get new
electronic components or new nanostructures that will really use the unique properties of the NPs.
In that context, with the group of ‗Chimie expérimentale‖, we are developing the ‗hybrid
synthesis‘ which combines physical (sputtering,
evaporation) and chemical techniques, for the design of
new nano-materials, or for a proper integration of NPs
grown up using a chemical approach. We designed and
purchased an adapted equipment which consists in an
UHV sputtering-evaporation deposition system coupled
with a glove box (see figure 2). This equipment will be
installed in LPCNO in September 09. It will allow
transferring samples under controlled atmosphere from
physical to chemical synthesis and vice versa. Integration
of the nano-objects will be done in two ways:
- direct epitaxial growth of the NPs using the chemical
Fig 2 : Scheme of the UHV sputtering-evaporation
system.
methods developed in LPCNO on mastered substrates.
- deposition of NPs by dip, spin coating or drop casting of colloidal solutions.
Others surface treatments like using the UHV chambers are also available (plasma etching, annealing,
controlled oxidation, etc), as well as photolithographic polymers deposit (inside the glove-box). First
realizations of based on ‗hybrid synthesis are described in the next part.

3 - Hybrid nanostructures.
These activities of the Nanomagnetism team are mainly based on the closed relationship with the
experimental chemists of the LPCNO. Indeed, this team possesses a strong experience in the synthesis of
nano-structures in colloidal solutions. Among them, the magnetic ones are of first interest and particularly
cobalt nanorods because of the small dispersion size, crystallinity, absence of oxidation, important
saturation magnetization and anisotropy. The natural next step in this field is the integration of such nanoobjects in devices. Moreover, they demonstrate the possibility to grow up epitaxially another a NP on a NP
leading to heterodimers[NM-12]. Therefore we proposed to develop the hybrid synthesis way by combining
physical and chemical routes.
The principle is to deposit thin films (either 3D islands or continuous 2D films) on substrates by
physical vapor deposition methods and then to introduce them in the Schlenck containing the solvent,
metal precursors and ligands for the chemical growth. Actually we prepare substrates by the deposition of
metal films on monocrystalline substrates using the UHV sputtering deposition system located in CEMESCNRS in collaboration with E. Snoeck. The deposition parameters have been optimized to obtain epitaxial
growth of the metallic layers with a well define direction growth. We demonstrate the efficiency of the
process, by forming a regular dense network of monocrystalline Co nanorods epitaxially grown
perpendicular to the surface (see scheme in figure 3). The first magnetic measurements display an
important perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the sample.
French patent on the method and object will be written. This first realization open new opportunities
for the monolithic integration of small nano-objects that cannot be done using lithographic based methods.
The goal now is to expend this methods to others kinds of materials, and nano-objetcs. Is it possible to
control the size and shape? In this heavy work, our task consists in developing well adapted substrates. For
instance, we prepare the sputtering-growth of 3D metal islands on oxide substrates and barriers (see figure
4). The aim is to provide substrates for a controlled growth of Co nanorods in terms of locations and
densities (see figure 5).

4 – Magnetotransport
During these four years, we have developed the measurements of electronic transport in NPs
network. The more important results are the transport and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements of
chemically synthesized magnetic artificial solids consisting of millimeter-size superlattices of CoFe (NPs)
NM - 30
separated by a thin organic insulating layer. Such large self organised system can be connected using
classical methods (Au wires and silver paint) without the requirement of heavy lithographic process. We
were the first group who investigated such kind of system. The electrical measurements highlight the
richness of the interaction between transport and magnetic field in three-dimensional networks of magnetic
NPs, the role of the disorder (structural, size dispersion, …), especially in the Coulomb blockade regime:
- Resistance temperature characteristics follow R=R0 exp(T0 /T1/2), as generally observed in NP
arrays displaying charge or structural disorder.
- Low-temperature current-voltage characteristics scale according to I [(V−VT)/VT] with
ranging from 3.5 to 5.2. For a sample with a very large size distribution of NPs, a reduced exponent down
to = 1 is found, the origin of which remains unclear.
- A large high-field MR displaying a strong voltage dependence and a scaling versus the magnetic
field/temperature ratio is observed in a limited temperature range (1.8–10 K). The most likely
interpretation is related to the presence of paramagnetic centers at the surface or between the NPs.
- Below 1.8 K, concomitantly to the collapse of
this high-field MR, a low field inverse tunneling MR
grows up with a moderate amplitude not exceeding 1%.
- Below a critical temperature of 1.8 K, abrupt
and hysteretic transitions between two well-defined
conduction modes - a Coulomb blockade regime and a
conductive regime- can be triggered by the temperature,
electric, and magnetic fields (see figure 6). Huge
resistance transitions and MR with amplitude as high as
a factor 30 have been observed in this regime. We
propose that these transport features may be related to
collective effects in the Coulomb blockade regime
resulting from the strong capacitive coupling between
NPs. They may correspond to the soliton avalanches
predicted by Sverdlov et al. [Phys. Rev. B 64, 041302, Fig. 6 : I(V) curves of a FeCo NPs superlattice, with
2001] or could also be interpreted as a true phase abrupt transitions between two conduction regimes.
transition between a Coulomb glass phase to a liquid phase of electrons. The origin of the coupling
between magnetic field and transport in this regime is still an open question. These pioneering works will
be pursued in order to identify the exact contribution of collective effects, by changing the systems of NPs
(size, composition, ligands). New collaborations are also developed with UMR Thales-CNRS and H. Van
der Zant from Delft University, in order to perform measurements on single NPs to get the individual
behaviour.

5 – Nano-oncology.
Among the numerous potential applications of magnetic NPs in nanomedecine, one of the most
important one is the hyperthermia for cancer therapy. Developed with the ‗Chimie expérimentale‘ group,
the magnetic part of the nano-oncology project aims at developing new magnetic NPs with high

and their analysis, which allow a feed back to the ‗Chimie expérimentale‘ group for the optimization of the

Maximum heating power is expected as NPs behave as Stoner and Wohlfarth NPs (single-domain)
and display a high saturation magnetization. NPs behaving either in the superparamagnetic (SPM) or
ferromagnetic (FM) regimes can lead to some energetic
dissipation, the latter being more efficient if the
saturation field is below the applied alternative
magnetic field.
Experimental measurements have been done
using several systems of NPs either in the FM or SPM
regimes. Our main result has been obtained on
amorphous FeCo 15 nm NPs, which displays a soft
anisotropy and a high magnetization. We observed for
the first time clear features of the expected field and
frequency dependencies of the losses per cycle for NPs
in the FM regime: heating power displays a sharp
increase at the coercive field and a plateau above

Introduction
Nanotech is a small group of four permanent physicist lecturers-researchers which develops, at the
interface between Physics, Chemistry & Nanotechnologies, reliable and low-cost techniques for both the
directed assembly of nano-objects onto specific areas of substrates and their electrical nano-addressing. Its
final goal is to study the original physical properties of these nano-objects and to exploit them in functional
nano-devices. Two kinds of nano-objects are used: colloidal nanoparticles elaborated by chemical
synthesis and silicon nanocrystals fabricated by ion implantation at ultra-low energy and thermal
annealings. Another activity of the Nanotech group concerns nanocharacterizations by atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and its derived modes (EFM, KFM, SCM, nanolithography…).
1- Colloidal nanoparticles (LR, BV, JG)
Chemical synthesis is an efficient and low-cost way to elaborate solution of nanoparticles whose size,
shape, composition and surface functionalization are finely tuned.
Topic n°1: Directed assembly on surfaces
We developed two original generic methods to direct the assembly of these colloidal nanoparticles onto
specific micro or nanometric areas of substrates: convective/capillary deposition on chemically patterned
substrates and AFM nanoxerography.
a. Convective/capillary deposition on chemically patterned substrates
Convective/capillary deposition is an efficient way to form compact arrays of nanoparticles on large
areas (several cm2) from a drop of colloid suspension dragged onto a substrate at a fixed speed. We
demonstrated that this technique applied on silicon substrates chemically patterned in
hydrophilic/hydrophobic areas is an efficient way to direct colloid assembly[NTC-30]. This chemical contrast
was performed by combining chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of octadecyltrimethoxisilane (OTMS) with
nano-imprint lithography or AFM oxidation nanolithography (Fig. 1)[NTC-15,17,19].

b. AFM nanoxerography
AFM nanoxerography is the second original method developed to direct nanoparticle assembly on
surfaces. This process utilizes charged patterns obtained by AFM charge writing into electret thin films to
generate strong electric fields above the surface which act, via electrostatic interactions, as self-assembly
targets for any kinds of charged or polarisable colloids.
We demonstrated that AFM nanoxerography is a simple, fast, versatile and reliable method to control
the directed mono or bilayered-assembly of nanoparticles as small as 2 nm from solution onto any kinds of
charged patterns written by AFM into poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) thin films under ambient
conditions (Fig. 2). We showed that both electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces are responsible for
these directed assemblies[NTC-27,31].

Topic n°2: Electrical nano-addressing and characterizations
a. Electrical nano-addressing
Nanoparticle assemblies were electrically addressed by stencil lithography. Contrary to conventional
resist-based processes, this technique is a single step process which avoids any contamination/degradation
of nanoparticles. The stencils are made of 200 nm thick membranes supported by windows defined by
DUV lithography and then transferred into the SixNy layer by anisotropic etching. Focused Ion Beam (FIB)
is used to define micro or nanometric windows having the geometry of the electrodes and micrometric
pads for connection to the electrical measurement set-up. Metallic electrodes and associated connections
are elaborated by metal evaporation through these stencils, previously aligned on the nanoparticle
assemblies.
b. Electrical characterizations
Among the original results recently obtained, we can mention the huge current fluctuations evidenced
on I(V) and I(t) measurements performed at room temperature on micrometric stripes of 20 nm gold
nanoparticles assembled by convective/capillary deposition (Fig. 3) [NTC-32]. These effects were interpreted
in terms of charging and discharging of nanoparticle islands leading to a huge electrostatic perturbation of
current conduction paths. These results reveal that current fluctuations in such systems have to be well

understood and minimized otherwise they could lead to serious limitations on the operation of
nanoparticle-based devices.

measurements on the device presented in (a): current fluctuations at fixed bias voltage (0.2V) showing 99% maximum random
telegraph signal RTS
Topic n°3: Elaboration of colloid-based functional nanodevices
We used our experience on directed assembly of nanoparticles and electrical addressing to elaborate
two kinds of functional nanodevices: gaz sensors and strain gauges.
a. Gas sensors
The sensitive element of the gas sensor is a network of noble metal nanoparticles. We demonstrated that
the distance between nanoparticles and the conductivity of the organic ligands surrounding particles can be
strongly modified by interaction with solvent vapours or gases, consequently inducing a modification of
the conductivity of the particle network.

b. Strain gauges
We demonstrated that compact metal nanoparticle films deposited on flexible substrates function as
highly sensitive strain gauges. Indeed, we showed an exponential dependence of the nanoparticle film
resistance on the applied strain due to the exponential dependence of the interparticle tunnel resistance on
the particle separation (Fig. 4). Our first results reveal that the sensitivity of these nanoparticle gauges can
be more than one order of magnitude higher than that of conventional metal foil strain gauges.

2- Silicon nanocrystals (JG, LR)
Silicon nanocrystals provide a promising way to scale-down the electronic devices beyond the 22 nm
node. They also provide a link between electronics and optics, thanks to their ability to emit and guide light.
A recent field named silicon-based plasmonics is emerging and is an interesting way to couple efficiently
electronics and optics, using a fully compatible CMOS technology.
Topic n°1: Directed synthesis
High-dose ( 1016 cm-2) Si implantation in the 1 keV range into very thin (<10 nm) oxide layers
followed by thermal annealing at 900-1000°C allows for the formation of two-dimensional arrays of 2-5
nm silicon nanocrystals (NCs) at tunable distances from the SiO2 /Si interface[NTC-20]. We applied stencil
lithography, to direct the NC synthesis on specific areas of the plane. This approach leads to a limited
number (1000 minimum) of Si-NCs making a unit cell that is synthesized and positioned with a nanometric
precision. Fig. 5(a) and 5(b) are typical electron microscopy images of a sample implanted through a
stencil mask[NTC-23]. They clearly show Si implanted areas (in dark) which mimic the stencil mask windows.
Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy confirms the synthesis of Si nanocrystals localized in the stencil
windows (Fig. 5(c)) [NTC-21].

Topic n°2: Electrical nano-addressing and characterizations
a. I(V) and I(t) measurements
Si-NCs were electrically addressed in a vertical configuration using electron beam lithography (Fig.
6(a)). Electrical measurements demonstrated that such MOS capacitors are sensitive to detect single
electron effects (Coulomb blockade, single electron tunneling). Figure 6(b) shows a typical example of
charging of a single electron in a NC at room temperature. As the oxidation induces size reduction, the
electrical current is more sensitive to quantized charging of NCs. This results in larger peak widths in the
I(V) characteristics (Fig. 6(c)). Moreover, the current exhibits random telegraph signal (RTS)
characteristics with sharp current jumps which indicate the random and quantized capture and emission of
a single electron in a trap site (Fig. 6(d)).

b. AFM/ KFM measurements of charge retention
AFM and KFM were used to study charge retention into Si/SiO2 structures containing a layer of Si
nanocrystals. Electrons were injected (or extracted) into (from) the oxide by applying negative (or positive)
bias to the conductive AFM tip in contact with the grounded structures. The temporal decay of injected
charges and their corresponding lateral spreading were quantified. Comparison with the results obtained
for a SiO2 layer without nanocrystals under varying relative humidity demonstrated that the presence of Si
nanocrystals leads to a strong charge confinement.
Topic n°3: Elaboration of Si NC-based functional nanodevices
Si-NCs single-transistor memory cells aiming at EEPROM-like applications were successfully
fabricated (Fig. 7(a)). Memory windows of about several volts were detected in the C(V) measurements
(Fig. 7(b)). The charge retention characteristics of the devices at room temperature, 85 and 115°C after 106
10ms +9/-9V programming cycles are shown in figure 7(c). Long time extrapolation indicates a 10-year
memory window of about several volts at 85°C.

3- Nanocharacterizations by AFM and derived modes (LR, JKG)
Our experience on AFM and its derived modes (LFM, EFM, KFM, SCM, MFM, nanolithography…)
allowed us to start collaborations with different industrials (CNES, Motorola) and research laboratories
(LAAS, LAPLACE, CIRIMAT…) on various subjects as failure analysis of devices, charge retention in
RF MEMs, control of process…
Among these various fruitful collaborations, we can mention two original works:
- the study by AFM and KFM of the dissolution mechanisms of S-phase particles in 2024 aluminum
alloy in chloride-containing sulfate solutions[NTC 24]. This work was performed in collaboration with C.
Blanc from CIRIMAT. The combination of these scanning probe microscopy techniques with energy
dispersive spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy allowed the correlation between KFM
measurements and the corrosion behavior of 2024 alloy leading to a better understanding of the
electrochemical behavior of S-phase particles[NTC 25]. This work demonstrated that KFM is a very powerful
tool for the study of localized corrosion.
- the study by KFM, EFM and SCM of oxide charge measurements in flash-EEPROM memories[NTC 10,
12]
. We developed original and efficient descrambling techniques for EEPROM devices and we

Introduction
The « Quantum Optoelectronics » group investigates the optical and electronic properties of
semiconductor nanostructures with both a fundamental and an applied approach.
The main activity consists in the study of the spin physics in nanostructures or bulk compounds
using optical or electrical carrier spin injection. These researches have been undertaken with the aim to
uncover spin properties which could be used for spintronics or, in a more prospective way for quantum
information processing. These fields are the object of strong international research efforts and competition,
as e.g. in ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Dortmund University (Germany), Ioffe Institute (Russia), University
of Michigan and Naval Research Lab. (USA), NIMS Tsukuba (Japan) and in France LPN Marcoussis,
Institut Néel Grenoble, and Thales-UMP Palaiseau laboratories with which we interact in most cases,
either by direct collaboration or by scientific exchanges in conference meetings. Our experimental strategy
relies on developing original spectroscopic tools in order to investigate semiconductor nano-crystals or
nano-devices elaborated either by MBE epitaxy by our partners in France and abroad, or by chemical
synthesis at LPCNO. Different experimental set-ups have been recently built, such as time and polarisation
resolved spectroscopy in the picosecond range for ensemble of nanocrystals or bulk materials investigation
(VIS-NIR or UV-VIS range), high spectral resolution stationary magneto-micro-photoluminescence for
single nano-crystal analysis, stationary or time-resolved electroluminescence spectroscopy. The spin
properties are traced out through optical transition selection rules derived for each type of investigated
object. Our scientific objective aims at elucidating the fundamental spin properties of free or localised
carriers, exciton complexes, nuclei… in the investigated systems, and developing interpretative models.
After having performed pioneering works dealing with spin dynamics in quantum well or quantum dot
nanostructures which we recently summarized in a collective book edited by M. Dyakonov [OPTO 145], we
have developed in the past three years our research axis in four main directions which we will briefly
describe in the following. New effects were thus uncovered, such as electron and more recently hole spin
dephasing due to hyperfine interaction in InAs/GaAs quantum dots [OPTO1, OPTO43], the bistability of the
Dynamical Nuclear Polarisation (DNP) in InAs/GaAs single quantum dot [OPTO14, OPTO15], optical orientation
experiments in single GaAs/AlGaAs ―droplet‖ dot and associated DNP[OPTO34], electrical spin injection
experiments in hybrid ferromagnetic/semiconductor Spin-LED devices[OPTO35], including high-speed pulsed
electrical spin injection [OPTO44], spin relaxation quenching of excitons in cubic GaN/AlN quantum
dots[OPTO31], coherent spin dynamics of bound excitons in ZnO [OPTO39], spin filtering in GaAsN [OPTO45].
In parallel, we have used our expertise in optical spectroscopy and electronic properties of semiconductors
to perform more applied research activities, in collaboration with public research centres or industries. This
activity, supported by many research contracts, concerns the fields of (i) quantum engineering of optical
amplifiers and laser diodes for optical telecommunications (Alcatel-Thales, France-Telecom R&D, ANR
Telecom) [OPTO16]; (ii) failure analysis of material/devices for spatial applications (CNES, ONERA
contracts), (iii) luminescence properties of nano-crystals (InP) synthesized in the NCO group of LPCNO
for applications as markers in nano-oncology, (iv) new materials for photovoltaic applications (IRDEP

The carrier spin states in individual InAs and GaAs quantum dots can
be manipulated optically and in transport schemes. The ultimate goal
of these fascinating experiments on a single carrier and single photon
level is the preparation, manipulation and read-out of a quantum dot
spin state in the context of quantum information processing. To
achieve this level of control two spin interactions have to be
understood: (i) the exchange Coulomb interaction between carrier
spins and (ii) the hyperfine interaction between carrier and nuclear
spins of the atoms that form the dot. We reported quantum beats of
the neutral exciton at zero magnetic field and surprising negative
polarization of the light emitted by negatively charged excitons. In

nuclear spins can be aligned through optical orientation and we were the first to publish that the resulting
nuclear polarization is bistable in both strained InAs and unstrained GaAs dots.

The exciton spin polarisation in the quantum dots studied
above (InAs, GaAs) disappears generally around 90 – 100 K
because of the efficient carrier scattering into continuum
states (wetting layer, bulk) where efficient spin relaxations
occur. It is thus interesting, having in mind possible
applications operating at room temperature to explore other
semiconductor nanostructures where spin polarisation could
be more robust when the temperature raises. We selected thus

two compound wide gap semiconductors, GaN and ZnO, where spin-orbit coupling is much weaker than in
GaAs or InAs. The corresponding research axis has been thus devoted to the study of the carriers' spin
properties on GaN-based and ZnO-based materials. Thanks to weak spin–orbit coupling and large exciton
binding energy they represent also promising candidates for spintronics applications, allowing the control
and manipulation of the exciton spin, even at high temperature. In contrast to (In)GaAs based structures,
very little study has been done on the spin physics in these large gap materials. We have first concentrated
our investigations on two axes. On one hand the study of cubic phase GaN/AlN quantum dots, where we
have demonstrated for the first time that the free excitons are linearly polarized and that strikingly this
polarization persists without any temporal decay up to room temperature (fig. 2) [OPTO31, OPTO50]. These
results contrast with the fast exciton spin relaxation previously observed in other quantum dot systems at
high temperature. On the other hand we have as well showed the first experimental evidence of the
manipulation of the exciton spin in wurtzite InGaN quantum dots through the application of an external
electric field up to room temperature (collaboration with Sharp) [OPTO47].
In parallel, we have also investigated the spin properties of free and bound excitons in different ZnO
epilayers, grown in IOP (Beijing). These studies have showed for the first time that the hole spin relaxation
times is as long as 350 ps at T=1.7 K when the holes are localized by a donor potential in ZnO. The
spectral and temperature dependences of the measured PL polarization have also demonstrated the fast spin
relaxation of the free excitons and the implication of holes from both the A and B valence bands [OPTO32].
Moreover, the study of the luminescence polarization under a transverse magnetic field have allowed us to
measure the spin coherence through the analysis of the hole spin quantum beats [OPTO39].

them an important role in the spintronics field [OPTO6,OPTO30,OPTO144] (fig.3). Thanks to time resolved
photoluminescence experiments, we have as well shown that this dilute nitride compound can be used as
an effective switchable electron spin filter under a polarized optical excitation of appropriate intensity

. More recently, through transport experiments, we have demonstrated the possibility of using these
materials as a polarization detector thanks to its giant spin dependent conductivity variation. Finally, with
an optically detected electron spin resonance experiment, we have provided the first direct evidence that
Ga-i self-interstitial is at the origin of this remarkable spin effects at room temperature without magnetic

An efficient injection of spin-polarized electrons from a ferromagnetic (FM) source into a semiconductor
heterostructure represents nowadays a prerequisite for the realization of spintronics devices using the spin
degree of freedom as additional functionalities. (i) We have observed a very high electron spin injection
efficiency (comparable to the best one obtained by S.S. Parkin. at IBM (San Jose)) from a CoFeB/MgO
spin injector into AlGaAs/GaAs semiconductor light emitting diodes. Moreover, the spin injection
efficiency increases with the thickness of the MgO tunnel barrier and is stronger for textured MgO than for
amorphous MgO. (ii) In addition to efficient injection, long electron spin relaxation time (as in quantum
dots) is a requirement for efficient storage and manipulation. The injection of spin polarized electrons
through Co/Al2O3/GaAs tunnel barrier into p-doped
InAs/GaAs quantum dots has been established up to
70K. (iii) For future applications, it is also important
to perform very high speed pulsed operation. We
have demonstrated for the very first time high speed
pulsed electrical spin injection from a CoFeB/MgO
spin injector into a AlGaAs/GaAs semiconductor
light emitting diode. Under pulsed electrical
excitation, time-resolved electroluminescence on
nanosecond time-scale evidences that the temporal
build-up of the electronic spin polarization degree in
the quantum well is much faster than the rise time of
electroluminescence intensity.

The Quantum Optoelectronics group at LPCNO has always been involved in applied research projects. On
one hand, the group has acquired a deep expertise in semiconductor quantum wells modeling for
telecommunication applications, in collaboration with Alcatel-Thales Opto+, 3-5 Lab, LPN-CNRS,
Avanex, France-Telecom R&D. We calculate the band structures and the absoption/gain spectra on the
basis of k.p formalism ; we compare the theoretical predictions with standard optical spectroscopy
experiments (cw photoluminescence and photo-current spectroscopy). We also study the potentialities of
InAs/InP quantum dots for laser or amplifier applications. On the other hand, we have more recently
developed collaborations with spatial industries through CNES and ONERA contracts.
Telecommunication projects (RMNT and ANR fundings):
In the past five years, we have been involved in one RMNT and two ANR projects dedicated to
telecommunication applications:

AHTOS (ANR Telecom): this program aims at promoting the use of dilute nitrides in quantum well (QW)
laser heterostructures to reach long wavelength emission (InGaAsN QW grown with compressive strain on
GaAs substrates for 1.3µm emitting sources in TE mode and InGaAsN QW grown with tensile strain on
InP substrates for 1.55µm emission and above in TM mode). These studies have shown that InGaAsN QW
combined to GaAsP barriers on GaAs substrates are promising structures for 1.3µm laser devices with high
temperature performances [OPTO5]. InGaAsN/InAsP grown on InP substrates allows to reach the
telecommunication L-band. The introduction of a fraction of nitrogen as small as 3% is enough to go above
the emission wavelength of 1.57µm and to induce an increase of the material gain by a factor 3 [OPTO16].
METRAL (RMNT): the target of this project was to develop reliable 10Gbit/s devices with InGaAs based
structures with Aluminium barriers. Our main role was the calculation of the band structure yielding the
optimized material.
AROME (ANR Telecom): this project aims at optimizing the polarization insensitive Semiconductor

Space application projects (CNES and ONERA contracts):
The LPCNO is a member of the RTRA ―Sciences et Techniques Aéronautiques et Spatiales (STAE)‖ in
Toulouse. Thanks to its expertise in optics and optical spectroscopy, the Quantum Optoelectronics group
has been involved in several CNES and ONERA contracts in relation with space applications of
optoelectronic material and devices.
The CNES projects were dedicated to the investigation of failure analysis of (i) double hetrostructures
diode lasers for space applications (Pharao mission) (ii) optical elements under strong laser irradiance for
the Mars Rover (Chemcam project). For these contracts specific environmental test chambers have been
designed and built (controlled temperature, pressure, laser irradiance, etc…)
The ONERA project has consisted in performing time resolved photoluminescence on 3-junctions solar
cells (Ge, GaAs, InGaP) before and after irradiation at ONERA: we observe a dramatic drop of the
luminescence lifetime after irradiation with electrons or protons which reflects the creation of defects.
These data will allow the CNES to predict the lifetime of the solar cells in space.

Introduction
The theoretical ―MPC‖ group of the LPCNO was created in october 2005 and initially constituted by
researchers coming from another laboratory of the IRSAMC institute for research, namely the Laboratoire
de Physique Quantique (UMR 5626). People involved in the seminal group were J.-P. Daudey (JPD), F.
Jolibois (FJ), L. Maron (LM), R. Poteau (RP) and G. Trinquier (GT). A fruitful collaboration already
existed between JPD (who sadly passed away in October 2008) and B. Chaudret, and more generally
organometallic chemistry was the main subject of research of most of us. The driving force at the origin of
the LPCNO was to mix multidisciplinary approaches in the field of nanoscience. After several scientific
discussions with B. Chaudret, it rapidly appeared that bringing relevant contributions to shed light on the
complex physics and chemistry of nano-objects shall be an exciting challenge for theoretical chemists. We
thus founded the MPC group, which has been rapidly reinforced by the nomination of an assistant
professor in September 2007, I. Gerber (IG), who brought a strong expertise in DFT methodology and
theoretical solid-state physics, as well as a valuable know-how in computational physics, namely periodicDFT methods. After a two-year secondment period, GT came back to its initial laboratory, whereas L.
Perrin (LP, Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS) joined us in march 2008. His skills in organometallic
chemistry and more specifically in biomolecular chemistry will be helpful in the future to consider
problems in the field of bio-nanoscience.
We have maintained and developed a strong activity in our initial fields of research:
Electronic and geometrical structure of d-block and f-block catalysts, and their reactivity. This has
led to an extended knowledge in the mechanisms of reactions involved in homogeneous catalysis
and in the interactions between d and f metals and ligands, which brings valuable informations to
the numerous experimental groups which have established an interaction with our group. In
addition, the limitation of density functional theory for describing coordination and reactivity
properties in actinide complexes has been determined. This opens the road to systematic studies in
the field of organoactinide chemistry.
The relation between structure, dynamics and spectroscopic fingerprints of biomolecular systems.
So far biochemical complexity is considered, the theoretical research of the most stable geometry
is probably not relevant, owing to dynamical motion of the nuclei and environment effects. The
methodological strategy initiated some years ago and which has shown its ability to validate the
actual geometry of biomolecules relies on the coupling of experimental NMR and theoretical
calculations of NMR parameters. One interesting side-effect was the birth of a new know-how in
the group, namely the calculation of solution and solid-state NMR parameters, both for dipolar and
quadrupolar nuclei. As we shall see later, it has been successfully used in the context of
organometallic clusters and species adsorbed on ruthenium bulk surfaces.
Although all these applications are very time consuming, methodological developments have also
been undertaken.
o A long-time neglected subject about molecular pseudopotentials has recently witnessed a
renaissance. It could be useful in the near future for describing accurate – albeit low-cost ligand-field effects at the surface of NPs.
o Density functional theory is a tool of choice for describing chemical systems. However, it
is well know that it suffers limitations, in particular the lack of dispersion interactions in
standard functionals. IG is still involved in methodological improvements in order to
circumvent that drawback.
MPC-45
o
The ab initio molecular dynamics package developed in our group (LM, FJ) has still been
used in order to elucidate the role of the motion of nuclei on spectroscopic or structural
properties.
o Finally, one should pay attention that some applications require to carefully define
calculational strategies which are connected in some way to methodological developments
(role of f electrons in organoactinides, extraction of theoretical NMR data taking into
account dynamical effects, …)
This knowledge has constituted the ground for developping new orientations in relation with nano-objets:
the organometallic NPs synthesized and charcaterized in the ―Nanostructures and Organometallic
Chemistry‖ group of the LCC as well as carbon nanotubes characterized in the ―nMat‖ group of the
CEMES. More recently, the reactivity at the surface of single-wall carbon nanotubes has also been
considered.
Homogeneous catalysis by d-block and f-block catalysts (LM, LP)
This activity can be divided into four topics that have connections with each other. The first topic is to
understand and predict the reactivity of organolanthanide complexes. This work is done in close
collaboration with experimental groups (Pr. R. A. Andersen, UC Berkeley & Pr. J. Okuda, Aachen). The
idea has been to predict some peculiar reactivity, different from the classical bond metathesis that often
occurs with lanthanide complexes. We have been to demonstrate that the reactivity of halogenomethane
(but also of alkylether or amine) with Cp2CeH was controlled by the formation of a transient carbene that
was trapped experimentally. Thus, the reactivity of lanthanide complexes is not always the same and it
opens a new field of research. The reactivity of mono or dications[MPC-55] is also investigated and an
unprecedented single electron C-C coupling between pyridyl rings has been proposed.
In a same way, we have investigated the mechanism of the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters to
lead to renewable polymers. In collaboration with experimental groups from France (Pr. J-F Carpentier et
Dr. S. Guillaume , Rennes) and England (Pr. Ph. Mountford, Oxford), we have studied the influence of
borohydride lanthanide complexes on this reactivity[MPC-61,62]. We have shown that the reactivity of the
borohydride is controlled by the charges (mainly at the metal center and thus by the ancillary ligand).
Strongly negatively charged ligands (such as amide-bisamido used by Ph. Mountford) lead to a better
activity for caprolactone or lactide polymerization than trisborohydride or Cp-type complexes (used by Dr.
S. Guillaume). In the former case, we have shown that two types of chain end can be obtained, either the
alcohol one (classical, due to two B-H activations) or a aldehyde one (unsual with only one B-H activation
and the realease of BH3).
Moving from organolanthanide to organoactinide chemistry is of course natural but not an easy task.
Indeed, 5f orbitals are known to be more active in bonding than the 4f ones. We have however in
collaboration with experimental groups (Pr. R. A. Andersen, UC Berekeley, Dr. P. L. Arnold, Edinburgh)
starts to investigate the reactivity of Uranium complexes. The presence of different stable oxidation state
for uranium makes it reactivity complicated to study. However, we have been able to show that the
reactivity of uranium IV complexes is mainly of bond metathesis type and we explained the difference of
reactivity of an oxo and imino ligand (difference of bonding mode) [MPC-47]. In collaboration with Dr. P.
Arnold, the reactivity of the very inert U-O bond of the uranyl ion (UO22+) with silane has been
investigated. The question was the real effect of the
macrocyle used to coordinate the uranyl ion. We have been
able to show that the reactivity is a single electron reduction
(to form a strong O-Si bond) but that the presence of two
equivalent of KH was crucial. Indeed, a double deprotonation
is occurring on the macrocyle to lead to uranyl-potassium
interactions[MPC-65].
Finaly, in close collaboration with the experimental group of
Dr. D. Bourissou (Toulouse), the interaction between Lewis
acid (such as group 13 or hypervalent group 14) is
investigated. Indeed, the group of Dr. D. Bourissou is

determine the key parameters that control and tune the interaction between the Lewis acid and the metal
center[MPC-35,48,60]. We have been able to show that increasing the Lewis acidity, by going down the group
13, is leading to formation of zwitterionic complexes rather than neutral complexes. Indeed, the Lewis acid
is extracting the halogen ligand from the metal center (mainly gold). We have been able to show that this
extraction was occurring from the classical metal-Lewis acid interaction. The main interest of such ligand
is that the density at the metal center can be tuned by the presence of the Lewis acid and we are
investigating the effect on the reactivity[MPC-27,39,70]. A comparison between d and f element reactivity is
taking place on simple propene and ethylene polymerization.

Biomolecular systems
Proteins and peptides: structure, dynamics and spectroscopy (FJ, LP)
Further years ago, a collaboration with V.Réat and A.Milon has been initiated on the study of model
membrane systems. This collaboration relies on the coupling of experimental NMR data measurements on
sterols inserted in a phospholipid membrane with theoretical chemical shifts tensor parameters
calculations[1]. Since then, new theoretical and experimental strategies have been developed in order to
characterize the orientation of more complex membrane systems in their ―native‖ environment as well as
their dynamic behaviour. Solid state NMR experiments have been implemented on a synthetic model
peptide (WALP23, 25 residues) in order to provide, in a first step, the data necessary to the development of
the theoretical calculation strategies (isotropic chemical shifts, chemical shifts anisotropies of specific
residues,…) and, in a second step, to determine the different parameters that characterize the dynamics of
this peptide by using theoretical and experimental data. Our work (L.Rougier and F.Jolibois) leads to a
quantum theoretical approach that allows calculating quantitatively chemical shift tensors, eigenvalues and
eigenvectors, of selected 15N and 13C atoms of the backbone of WALP23 with a minimum computational
effort. Our methodology is based on i. the modification of the peptide by removing all residues, except the
ones closed to the atoms of interest; ii. the used of an external electric field of low intensity, along the
peptide main axis, to perturb the hydrogen bond network created by the backbone[2]. Comparison of

experimental NMR powder data (chemical shielding tensors of two specifically labelled WALP peptides)
with computed NMR parameters validates our approach. In addition, these tensors have been merged to
experimental constraints obtained by solid-state NMR experiments (2H quadrupolar couplings, 1H-15N
dipolar couplings and 15N and 13C chemical shift anisotropies motionally averaged by the peptide dynamic
inside the membrane). Statistical analysis of these combined data allowed us to explore the versatility of
solutions in term of tilt, wobble, rotation and oscillations and a final unique solution has been proposed[3].
Our conclusions remove a controversy that exists between others NMR studies and molecular dynamics
simulation[4]. Currently, the variations of chemical shielding tensors as function of fast internal dynamics
MPC-47
are being analysed by calculating these tensors on a series of WALP23 conformations extracted from
molecular dynamics simulations. This part of the project is carried out in collaboration with P.Fuchs and
C.Etchebest who perform molecular dynamics computations.
This collaboration with the IPBS group has led to a new project that deals with the study of the selfassembly process of an cyclo-octapeptide. Experimentally, it has been demonstrated that this peptide selforganised itself into a doubled wall nano-tube. The growth process of this nano-object follows up to four
hierarchical assembly stages. Our aim is to extend the combined methodology developed previously to
study the elementary steps involved in self-assembly mechanism. Currently, structural, IR and NMR data
of the monomers have been determined theoretically and are compared to experimental data in order to
determine the most favourable conformation of the building block of the nano-object. At full-term, our
goal is to derive guidelines for the design of peptides that will self-assembled in tailor-made objects. For
this subject, collaborations with M.Paternostre (CEA-Saclay), J.Cortès (LAAS) and with the IPBS have
been established.

Peptidomimetics (FJ, RP)
A peptidomimetic is a molecule bearing identifiable resemblance to a peptide that, as a ligand of a
biological receptor, can imitate or inhibit the effect of a natural peptide. Such bio-inspired polymers could
also be useful in the field of nanoscience, as drug candidates or as encapsulation compounds. It is often
claimed that the forefront of the field is the rational design of such compounds by means of database
searching, combinatorial chemistry, screening approaches and computational chemistry. We have initiated
studies in that context: one research axis was a purely in silico design of non-conventional all-cis
peptides[MPC-37], whereas the second one was an experimental / theoretical exploration of the properties of
hybrid urea-peptide oligomers[MPC-58]. We have in particular delineated the propensity for local folding
induced by the urea fragment in such hybrid compounds, and have undertaken a detailed conformational
investigation of short-chain ureido peptidomimetics using a combination of experimental techniques (i.e.
Xray diffraction, FT-IR absorption and NMR spectroscopy) and theoretical calculations using density
functional theory (DFT). Such combined approach is very powerful and has confirmed the preference for a
rigid and folded structure which is reminiscent of the 14-helical structure of 4-peptides.

Nano-objects
Metallic clusters and nanoparticles (IG, FJ, LM, RP)
Organometallic nanoparticles (NPs) elicit a great interest due to their physical and chemical properties
intermediate between small molecular compounds and the bulk material, resulting from surface or quantum
size effects. Ruthenium is a catalytically very interesting element, organometallic ruthenium complexes
being in particular involved in the homogeneous olefin methathesis. Ruthenium NPs are also powerful
catalysts in many organic and inorganic transformations. Such NPs exhibit several surface species, which
MPC-48
prevent their coalescence, but which may also interact with other surface species, such as hydrides, which
are known to be abundant with 1.3H to 2H per surface Ru. Quantum chemists face a challenge, owing to
the size of these species and the difficulty to determine their wavefunction. Three complementary
approaches may bring different insights: (i)
the bottom-up route, which consists in the
accurate description of small organometallic
clusters and in an extrapolation to NPs, (ii) the
top-down route, which consists in the
description of ligands adsorbed at the surface
of slab models by means of periodic quantum
chemistry methods, (iii) the actual description
of NPs, which may be achieved by density
functional theory (DFT) methods, but which
are rather the scope of semi-empirical
approaches. The detailed bonding situation of
the hydrogen or deuterium to the Ru surface is
a
prerequisite
to
understand
the
transformations which occur at the surface of
organometallic NPs. Recently, structural and Fig. 3: Where does H adsorb at the surface of ruthenium NPs ?

ruthenium NPs have been investigated: several
[Ru]4 and [Ru]6 organometallic clusters,
previously synthesized or non-existent, have provided useful results in the context of organometallic
ruthenium NPs. We have more particularly focused on the NMR properties of these compounds and
established a link between electron-deficiency and low-field resonance of hydrides adsorbed at the surface
of Ru clusters or NPs[MPC-67]. From a more general point of view, NMR and MAS-NMR techniques are of
high practical importance for characterizing the presence of hydrides (or deuterides) in ruthenium clusters
and nanoparticles. According to the work done in the specific context of Ru clusters and mononuclear
complexes[MPC-49], DFT calculations of chemical shielding tensors as well as electric field gradient tensors
seem accurate. This information is available in the 1H or 2H NMR parameters, particularly in the
quadrupolar coupling constant. Very recently, reference data on well-defined mononuclear Ru complexes
have been experimentally determined (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130 (2008) 17502) in remarkable agreement
with DFT calculations[MPC-77]. In other words, DFT calculations are also able to provide reference data on
well-defined Ru-H compounds. We believe that low-temperature 2H MAS NMR spectra, which are rather
easy to obtain, could be more reliably analyzed by a joined experimental / computational approach.

Carbon nanotubes: functionnalization and vibrational properties (IG, FJ, RP)
Carbon nanotube (CNT) properties are directly related to their particular structure. Most growth processes
of CNTs lead to a relatively wide distribution in diameter and length. Recent studies have shown how the
diameter distribution can be narrowed or how CNTs can be sorted according to their helicity or chirality[1].
Doping CNTs is an attractive alternative to control the electronic conductivity of CNTs independently of
their diameter[2]. Concerning the characterization of the tubes, one of the important information available
from Raman spectra of CNTs, is the band due to the radial breathing mode. Using density functional
theory and a spring constant model we have studied the influence of the radial breathing frequency as a
function of nitrogen substitution and concentration[MPC-73]. We have shown that stable substitution
configurations do not favor the formation of nitrogen-nitrogen bonds at low concentration in zig-zag tubes
and that the radial breathing frequency depends strongly on the substitution site in the tube.
Recent studies of metallic nanocatalysts supported by CNTs have shown very encouraging results
concerning activity and selectivity in various type of chemical reactions[3]. Before the deposit of metallic
nanoparticles, the pretreatment of the nanotube walls by nitric acid appears to play a crucial role for the
dispersion of the nanocatalysts, for the adsorption and the diffusion of the reactants[4]. In collaboration with
MPC-49
the group of Ph. Serp, we have investigated, the early stages of nitric acid attack on the sidewalls of CNTs,
and more specifically the reactivity of defects such as vacancies by means of DFT calculations in a
combined molecular and periodic boundary conditions approach. By a joined attack of H+ and NO3- species
on these specific sites of adsorption, a possible scenario for the formation of carboxylic groups has been
proposed[5].

Methodological developments
Dispersion forces in density functional theory (IG)
Density-functional theory (DFT) is a powerful tool for electronic structure calculations of molecular as
well as condensed-matter systems. However, one of the main difficulties in its Kohn-Sham formulation
using common local density or generalized-gradient approximations of the exchange-correlation effects, is
the description of nonlocal correlations, such as those involved in weak van der Waals complexes, only
bound by dispersion forces. However, the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem (ACFDT)
approach is one of the most promising ways of constructing highly nonlocal correlation functionals. This
approach, introduced in wave function theory as well as in DFT, consists in extracting nonlocal groundstate correlations from the linear charge density response function. After several successful attempts in
combining DFT/ Wave-Function approach, e.g RSH+MP2[MPC-16], we have recently proposed an ACFDT
scheme based on a range separation of electron-electron interactions[MPC-66]. It involves a rigorous
combination of short-range density functional and long-range random phase approximations. This method
corrects several shortcomings of the standard random phase approximation and it is particularly well suited

Effective Group Potentials (LM, RP)
There is a need for lowering the cost of quantum chemistry calculations. Effective group potentials (EGPs)
aim at simplifying molecular ab initio calculations for large systems involving bulky ligands as long as
these ligands can be supposed to play the role of spectator groups. In an EGP, a group of atoms is replaced
by fictitious atoms associated with energy levels and orbitals necessary for representing the
active/spectator bond(s). The definition of EGPs and the way to derive their parameters have been given by
some of us a decade ago. The accuracy and limitations of this tool has been discussed in several papers,
mainly devoted to organometallic compounds and its usefulness in terms of solution to the link atom
problem has also been considered. A summary of the cons and pros of EGPs has temporarily ended this
successful attempt to reduce the computational time by reducing both the number of electrons and nuclei
explicitly treated in ab initio calculations[MPC-28].
We have recently provided new directions for the derivation of multicentered EGPs and also shown that ab
initio molecular dynamics simulations can take advantage of the reduction of the cost involved by EGPs,
owing to some limitations, which should be overcomed in the next generation of these molecular
pseudopotentials[MPC-78]. New results for a tetrahedral ruthenium cluster, where Ar stands for a pseudo
ligand, are provided, as well as a joint EGP/ab initio MD study aiming at finding free energies of
activation in a bis-cyclopentadienyl lanthanide complex. Our main conclusions are : (i) EGPs could
provide an accurate ligand-field for organometallic NPs ; (ii) the EGP/ab initio molecular dynamics
MPC-50
coupling could be useful for taking into account dynamical effects in the context of long time-scale
spectroscopic methods such as NMR.

Organisation of conferences
• Contribution à l’organisation des JMC10 à Toulouse (28 août-1 septembre 2006), Responsable «
recherche de financement industriels et relation avec les sponsors» pour les Journées de la Matière
Condensée, 10ème édition (Toulouse 1er août-2 septembre 2006). J. Carrey.
Organisées par la SFP, les JMC sont devenues la conférence nationale de physique la plus
importante. Elles ont rassemblées à Toulouse cette année plus de 600 personnes. Le faible tarif demandé
aux doctorants est rendu possible grâce à une recherche active de sponsors et d'exposants industriels.
C'était mon rôle au sein du comité d'organisation des JMC10. Mon implication importante dans cette
activité, qui a duré environ un an et demi, a permis le soutien des JMC10 par 12 industriels pour une
somme de 16000 Euros.
• Organisation du mini-colloque "Matériaux, nanostructures, et mécanismes innovants en électronique
de spin" lors des JMC10 (Toulouse, 28 août-1 septembre 2006) - J. Carrey.
• Molmat 2008, Toulouse, 8-11 juillet 2008 - M. Respaud.
Ce colloque est le rendez-vous principal de la communauté internationale du magnétisme des
systèmes à transition de spin. Il a été organisé à Toulouse en juillet 2008, et a réuni plus de 200 personnes
pour cette édition. Notre contribution principale a été dans l‘organisation durant le colloque.
• Organisation du Colloque Louis Néel, La Grande-Motte, 1-3 octobre 2008. T. Blon, J. Carrey, M.
Respaud.
Ce colloque est le rendez-vous principal de la communauté française du magnétisme. Il a été
organisé par ma communauté toulousaine travaillant dans le domaine du nanomagnétisme, et a réuni plus
de 200 personnes pour cette édition. Notre contribution principale a été dans la préparation et
l‘organisation durant le colloque.

Preliminary comments and remarks:
Dr J.-P. Daudey passed away in October, 2008.
I. C. Gerber and L. Perrin have respectively joined the lab on September, 2007 and February,
2008. Their articles for the 2005-2007 period are nevertheless mentionned, as done in the
individual forms.
The MPC group was created on October, 2005.
Most of the articles published in 2005 by JPD, FJ, LM and RP correspond to the research
activities done at the Laboratoire de Physique Quantique de Toulouse (LPQ, UMR 5626). The LPQ
is still used in the address several of their 2006 publications.
Dr. G. Trinquier has been a member of the group from its creation to the autumn 2007, when he
came back to the Laboratoire de Chimie et Physique Quantiques de Toulouse (UMR 5626)
Overall, 41 articles are affiliated to the LPCNO among the 78 given below (Source: Web of
Science): 2 in 2006, 9 in 2007, 13 in 2008 and 17 in 2009.
