Al5+αSi5+δN12, a new Nitride
semiconductor (2019)

A new semiconductor, Al
5+αSi
5+δN
12,
was synthesized by high temperature annealing of aluminum nitride
films under silicon flux.
A high resolution transmission electron microscopy study combined
with theoretical calculations allowed to determine the crystalline
structure of this new material.

A new Vision on the primitive objects of the solar system (2018)

To understand the first stages of the formation of the solar system
has always animated the community of physicists, astrophysicists and
cosmochemists. In this research, the analysis of the main constituents
of so-called primitive meteorites represents a major challenge in
view of their potential role as witnesses of the mechanisms that occurred
in the first 5 million years of the life of our solar system.

Towards the comprehension of dislocations generation in epitaxially-grown
(0001) wurtzite layers (2018)

Materials with a hexagonal wurzite structure (III-Nitrides, ZnO-based...)
have a lot of applications in optoelectronic and microelectronic.
Due to the lack of available large size and low price substrates,
wurtzite films are most of the time heteroepitaxially-grown on foreign
substrate.
