The transport of charges through materials is an essential phenomenon for many devices, whether they are semiconductors, superconductors or batteries. Unfortunately, it is not possible to observe the motion of …
Researchers and engineers at the Solid State Physics Laboratory (LPS) (UMR of the CNRS and the University of Paris-Saclay) have developed an innovative device capable of applying biaxial mechanical deformations …
In this article, we review different experiments using advanced X-ray diffraction techniques, in particular coherent diffraction, which have enabled us to reveal the behavior of systems with broken symmetry such …
A powerful technique for exploring the conduction band is inverse photoemission. By controlling the incidence of a well-collimated electron beam, it is possible to fully characterize the conduction band (with …

XFEL SCHOOL FOR CONDENSED MATTER, PHYSICS IN EXTREME CONDITIONS AND DENSE PLASMAS This event is organized by the GDR XFEL and aims to present the new possibilities offered by free …
Recent time-resolved diffraction techniques allow the dynamic study of matter with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution [1], typically on time scales as short as a few hundred femtoseconds. Such study has become …
Solar cells based on mixed-halide hybrid perovskites show efficiencies that have already surpassed the best polycrystalline silicon-based cells, in just a few years since their discovery 1. However, these advanced perovskite …
The LUTECE team of LPS team has just observed the shear of a charge density wave under an applied electric current by scanning X-ray diffraction. A charge density wave is …
