This is a kind reminder that all PhD students that intend to get an inscription for the 3rd or the 4th year of their PhD at Unistra must realize their half-term defense in presence of their follow-up committee.

Due to the exceptional conditions related to the Covid pandemie, the follow-up defense can be done through visoconference or in the presence of the committee members at your laboratory. The documents for the follow-up defense are the usuall ones provided on the website of the ED182.

Since the deadline for the registration is September 30, you have until mid-September to realize the follow-up defense.

Suite à la décision du conseil de l’ED 182, vous trouverez ci-dessous  la procédure relative aux auditions qui auront lieu du 04 au 06 juin 2025 pour l’attribution des contrats doctoraux :

– Les auditions se dérouleront en présentiel ou en vidéoconférence selon la situation sanitaire (les collègues présentant les sujets doivent s’assurer que leurs candidats disposent des moyens nécessaires pour passer la visio dans de bonnes conditions).

– Le jour de l’audition, les candidats doivent être munis d’une carte d’identité nationale ou d’un passeport.

– Lors de l’audition, le candidat présentera ses résultats de stage, le cas échéant, une étude bibliographique sur son sujet. Dans les deux cas, il devra positionner le sujet par rapport à l’état de l’art international et fournir trois publications clefs dans le rapport de 2 pages sur le stage – à fournir pour le mercredi 21 mai 2025 – midi délai de rigueur –  afin que les rapporteurs puissent éventuellement s’y référer pour préparer leurs questions.

– La présentation orale ne devrait pas dépasser 10 min au maximum.

Low-dimensional materials

Florian Banhart (IPCMS)

The course will give an introduction into the physics and technology of low-dimensional nanomaterials. Objects with reduced dimensions, namely two-, one-, or zero-dimensional structures, are of paramount importance in today’s electronic equipment. The restriction in space to less than three dimensions allows designing novel quantum devices with specific functions. While quantum dots, quantum wires and quantum wells are already indispensable components of standard electronic and optoelectronic devices, layers and wires of atomic thickness such as graphene and related species are just coming up and still need scientific and technological development until their unique properties can fully be made use of. In the center of the course will be the atomic and electronic structures which determine the properties of low-dimensional materials.

Subjects of the course:

1. Atomic structure of low-dimensional materials: bonding configurations
2. Artificial structuring of low-dimensional nanomaterials
3. Electronic structure and properties of atomic 2D and 1D materials
4. Electronic structure of 2D, 1D and 0D nanomaterials: quantum wells, -wires, -dots
5. Applications of low-D materials

6 lectures (2h each)

The dates of the course are as follows :

• 26/03
• 02/04
• 09/04
• 16/04
• 23/04
• 30/04

always from 2 to 4 p.m.

The March 26th course will take place in room 70.

The other sessions will take place in the IPCMS auditorium.

The mathematical structures for symmetries:
How elementary particles are classified and interact?

M. Rausch de Traubenberg
IPHC-DRS, Unistra, CNRS, IN2P3; 23 rue du Loess, Strasbourg, 67037 Cedex, France

Abstract

The concept of symmetry together with its associated mathematical structure have a crucial importance in physics. The study of the symmetries of a system could reveal a better understanding of the system itself, and, in particular group theoretical methods have illuminated much of modern physics. The purpose if these series of lectures is to describe from an elementary point of view some of the basic mathematical notions associated to the description of symmetries. All concepts are gradually introduced and illustrated through many examples. Few notions are needed to attend these lectures. Applications in physics, in particular for the description of elementary particles will be given but can be easily extend in condense matter or whatever. All the material of these lectures are taken from the recent book [1].
The first part of these lectures firrstly review the underlying algebraic notions associated to symmetries. Many examples relevant in physics will be given. In particular, we will focus on two important structures: Lie algebras (and their associated Lie groups) and Lie superalgebras (and their associated Lie supergroups). It will then be shown that the principles of Quantum Mechanics lead naturally to the mathematical structure associated for the description of symmetries. As a preamble to a more general study, important matrix Lie groups and matrix Lie algebras, and their differential or oscillators realisations, will be considered. The important notion of representation is also introduced.
The second part of these lectures will be devoted to the study of Lie groups and Lie algebras, mainly the simple complex and simple real Lie algebras together with their representations. Instead of following a formal presentation, it will be shown that these structures are natural generalisations of the well know groups SO(3) (rotations in three dimensions) and SU(3) (unitary transformations in three complex dimensions). The very important concepts of roots, Dynkin diagrams and Cartan matrices will be introduced together with the important notions of weights central to classify representations (the l ∈ ½ℕ of Quantum Mechanics!). A dierential realisation of some Lie algebras which enables to have all unitary representations in an ease manner will be given and illustrated mostly in the context of SU(3). Two applications of Lie algebras will be considered. Firstly, we will identify the Lie algebra(s) associated to the description of the symmetry of the space-time. Thus, as a consequence of space-time symmetries, an elementary particle will be characterised by two quantum numbers: its mass and its spin. Secondly, it will be established that fundamental interactions are associated to internal symmetries. Time permitting we will show how all fundamental interactions could be unify.
The last part of these lectures will be concerned by the Lie superalgebras and the Lie supergroups.
We will identify how these algebras could play a r^ole in physics, in particular to implement a symmetry
between fermions and bosons (called supersymmetry). Two Lie superalgebras will be studied. Their relationship to supersymmetry will be investigated.
The lectures will take place from 16:00 to 18:00 in

IPHC, Bât 20 room 115C (or Bât 26 room 130): 30 March, 1; 6; 8; 14; 15; 27; 29 April 1.

The various properties of quantum nano-objects

Jean-Pierre Bucher

Université de Strasbourg, IPCMS

The main motivations to study nanoparticles and their relationship to molecules, is driven by potential applications in various fields of science and technology e.g. electronics, data storage, catalysis, photovoltaics… Between physics and chemistry, between the atom and the solid state, nanoparticles and molecules, are containing a few to several hundred atoms. Properties of this finely divided state of matter change drastically when the energy level spacing, of the order of E_F/N where N is the number of atoms, becomes larger than typical excitation energies such as kT, µ_BB, hf… In this lecture series, we will see that marked deviations from the solid state the so-called quantum size effects, manifest themselves in most properties of nano-objects. As a result, usual experimental and theoretical approaches are not appropriate anymore because of symmetry braking and discreteness of energy levels. We explore to which extent various properties of nano-objects can influence fundamental processes in magnetism, optics, catalysis and superconductivity. Particular focus is placed on cutting-edge research which explores the interaction of nano-objects with electromagnetic fields, in new kinds of experiments. The interdisciplinary approaches imposed by the field is expected to stimulate the emergence of new research topics, enabling innovative applications in nanoscience and inspiring the next generation of functional materials.

Main topics:

-Thermodynamic properties

-Simple theoretical models

-Geometric and electronic structure
