From 11 to 13 September, IPVF participated in the animation of a workshop on perovskites organized by the Nanorgasol team of the LPICM at the Ecole polytechnique. This was the opportunity to bring together a dozen participants to introduce them to the different manufacturing processes and characterization of this type of materials. Many thanks to the organizers and participants for these three days of exciting exchanges.

Du 11 au 13 septembre, l’IPVF a participé à l’animation d’atelier sur les pérovskites organisé par l’équipe Nanorgasol du LPICM à l’Ecole polytechnique. Celui-ci fût l’occasion de réunir une douzaine de participants afin de leur faire une introduction aux différents process de fabrication et de caractérisation de ce type de matériaux. Un grand merci aux organisateurs et aux participants pour ces trois jours d’échanges passionnants.

The last results of IPVF about amorphous alumina modelling, were recently published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. These findings, available here http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.jpclett.7b00896 ,  are very interesting for the photonics and electronics community, as they shed light on the modification of the properties of alumina due to defect, especially interesting for low temperature thin films where such kind of defects can be easily introduced.
