STM-derived authentication engraving

A scanning-tunneling-microscopy-derived, aesthetically pleasing miniature engraving that provides access to a tamper-proof digital safe. This flawless traceability and authentication mark that manufacturers of high-value-added objects, from the watch and jewellery industry to the aerospace and…

Spin-orbit coupling in graphene

We deploy quasi-particle interference imaging using a scanning tunneling microscope to probe the presence, nature and strength of proximity induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in single layer graphene (SLG) on WSe2. In the presence of SOC, the pseudo-spin texture is modified, enabling intravalley…

Vincent’s PhD Degree

June 2023 – Congratulations to Vincent Pasquier who successfully defended his PhD thesis on June 8, 2023. He developed an entire toolkit to enable the study of exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides as a function of tunable strain by STM. He obtained very interesting data on the strain…
