Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics (LPMC)
Research unit - UR 2081
This Unit develops expertise in the field of ferroic complex oxides and 2D materials.
The aim of our research is twofold:
• to develop new materials in bulk, thin film and nanostructure forms,
• to explore their potential applications in the fields of energy (electrostatic energy storage, photovoltaics, piezoelectrics) and
electronics (ferroelectric memories).
The Unit relies on advanced numerical methods and technological tools, using a wide range of characterization techniques.
