Research at SOLEIL
Imaging and Nano-ARPES, an innovative and powerful tool for the nanosciences
In recent decades we have witnessed exponential advances in the different areas of the new nanotechnologies. These advances, seen particularly in nanoelectronics, nanomagnetism and nanochemistry, among others, affect almost every aspect of our lives…
Know how
The future long beamlines of SOLEIL
The NANOSCOPIUM and NANOTOMOGRAPHY “long” beamlines will be dedicated to state of the art hard X-ray nano-imaging techniques. A 2,200 m2 extension to the SOLEIL experiment hall will be built during 2012, to accommodate these beamlines.
FOCUS ON: Chemistry in the light
Display of the possibilities on offer now and in the future on the SOLEIL beamlines, and examples of results obtained on: AILES (p15), DESIRS (p16), SIRIUS(p17), SAMBA (p18), SWING (p18-19) et CRISTAL (p19).
Innovations
XPAD detectors: from the laboratory to industrialization
Hybrid pixel detectors will mark the end of the CCD camera era in some experiments using synchrotron radiation. The XPAD technology, born of a collaboration which involved Soleil, is one example. Its development led in 2010 to the birth of imXPAD, a Marseille startup dedicated to its commercialization.
Du SOLEIL dans notre vie
New generation of transistors
Chips everywhere! In computers, mobile phones, bank cards, game consoles... integrated circuits or “chips” are in everything. On the CASSIOPEE beamline a material is being studied whose properties suggest its use in a wide range of applications far beyond those of conventional transistors.
