Structures, Properties and Modelling of Solids

The “Structures, Properties and Modelling of Solids” laboratory is a Joint Research Unit between CentraleSupélec and the CNRS.  One of our objectives is to discover the materials of the future, focusing on major challenges such as energy, electronics and health. Our strength lies in our ability to explore new compositions and new production routes, as well as advanced characterisation of the structural and functional properties of the materials we produce. Another important objective is to develop experimental and theoretical tools for understanding matter from the sub-atomic scale down to several hundred microns. Our laboratory is at the frontier between chemistry and physics.

Our research activities focus on functional oxide materials with the following specific properties: ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, photo-catalysis, ionic conduction, photovoltaics, electrical storage, etc.
