and secondarily on the Physics National Institute (“INP”; 20%). 1.1.1 Brief presentation of CRISMAT Since 1986, the laboratory of CRIStallography and MATerial Sciences (CRISMAT) has been affiliated to ENSICAEN and CNRS as a research mixed unit (“UMR”) every four years. Its secondary affiliation is the “BasseNormandie” Caen University (UCBN). The CRISMAT Directors have been Bernard Raveau (1986-2004) and Antoine Maignan (2004-). At the CNRS, CRISMAT depends mainly on the Chemistry National Institute The composition of the laboratory (126 persons) is detailed in the following. The permanent staff (58%) is divided between Solid State Chemists (sections 15, 13 of the CN-CNRS; section 33 of the CNU) and Solid State Physicists (section 06 CN-CNRS; section 28, 63 of the CNU). The surface of the laboratory, splitted into two buildings amounts to a total of ~ 6 000m2.

This activity, at the frontiers between Solid State Chemistry and Physics, is devoted to synthesis, structural physical characterization of new materials - mainly oxides -, to their optimization and modelization, the ultimate goal being to generate new functionalities for applications. This is mainly a multi-disciplinary research based on a multi-scale approach – from atomic to macroscopic – to design new materials and to understand their structure and physics. This material approach generates new concepts which provide the basis to discover new materials and properties. Regarding the technological advances, strong partnerships are established to develop technological research with regional, national and European companies. The Technological Research National Center on Materials (CNRT) with its team helps the CRISMAT researchers in the preparation and realization of their joint projects. The CRISMAT located on the scientific Campus II benefits of the students’ presence of both Engineering School (ENSICAEN) and University (UCBN). The Researchers teach at the different levels of LMD courses and the laboratory is strongly involved in the education through research. To attract students of high level, the researchers of the laboratory are involved in several networks such as the Integrated Training Network SOPRANO (FP7, Coord. CRISMAT, 2009-) or the ERASMUS MUNDUS II IdS FunMat (FP7, Coord. ICMCB, 2010-). 1.1.2 Scientific objectives (2008 - 2011) Based on a materials science approach, the contribution to the Sustainable Development and to the Communication and Information Technologies was based on a research of new materials – composites and new alloys for the lightening, thermoelectrics for energy conversion, new electrode materials for storage… – and on the need to evolve towards the nanoworld. The search for new materials has been successful if one considers the new compounds that have been synthesized at the laboratory including several new hybrids. As also mentioned in the objectives, CRISMAT has strongly contributed to the structuration of the community on the thermoelectrics [GDR Direction, responsibility of this topic in the framework of the CNRS Energy program, creation of the “CNRS Service Mixed Unit” (UMS n° 3318) located in the CNRT to structure the technological research in that field, Vice-Presidency of the European Thermoelectrics Society]. Most of the fascinating properties of metal-transition oxides originate from their peculiar physics related to the electronic correlations. In that respect, CRISMAT contributes in the structuration of that community (Direction of the GDR Materials and Competitive Interactions “MICO”). Remarkable theoretical results have been obtained in that field with calculations of the spin-states in the layer compounds with CdI2-type layers (cobaltites) or even to modelize the complex thermoelectric behavior of p-type oxides. As also presented as an important objective, the multiferroics - bulk and thin-films- form an important research axis. In that respect, the laboratory is an active member of the GDR multiferroics and has also coordinated a STREP project in that field. The possibility to control the interfaces in heterostructures deposited by pulsed laser ablation has been shown to be crucial to couple spins and charges in these artificial materials. For such materials, structured at the nanoscale, the study of their structures by using precession techniques with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) has been shown to be very powerful. A first structural determination has been made for a thin-film of a new cobaltite. In that respect, the presence of crystallographers and microscopists has been a key parameter to develop this new technique. The skills in TEM techniques at CRISMAT and the collaboration with the Materials Physics Group (GPM, Rouen), specialists of atomic probe (sonde atomique, SA) tomography, have motivated the creation (01/01/2008) of a new research federation on 8 Materials (FR CNRS IRMA n° 3095, “Advanced Materials Research Institute”). Combining our techniques, IRMA is a unique center at the EU scale to characterize materials from the nano scale. Semiconductors) created on the 13/02/2008. From that date, LAMIPS is one of the 6 groups of the laboratory (together with Crystallography, New Materials, Ceramics and Structural Materials, Thin-Films, Physics). From the 1/1/2009, IRMA is one of the seven platforms of the French network on TEM and atomic probes (METSA). The large number of experiment demands for TEM experiments (precession, cryo-TEM) at CRISMAT through METSA attests that TEM is a major technique to study (nano) materials. CRISMAT will pursue its investment in this direction, and a new TEM will be set up in 2011. A new clean room with photolithography techniques to prepare nano-chips of oxides by starting from thin-films has just been acquired. A new CNRS Research Director (section 15), Oleg Lebedev from EMAT (Antwerpen, Dir. G.V. Tendeloo) has been hired in 2009. The analysis at the atomic level is compared to other diffraction experiments, especially using neutron diffraction (LLB, ILL, ISIS). Considering the synthesis and the shaping of materials, the SPS facilities are opening new routes for the researchers. The thermomechanical properties obtained by SPS for the texturation of the thermoelectric cobaltite Ca3Co4O9 gives an illustration. The strategy of the laboratory is based on a very adaptable and reactive research obtained by strong links between chemists and physicists. This interdisciplinary is the main strength of CRISMAT. Most of the publications are co-signed by members of different groups on the transverse topics (involving at least researchers of two of the six groups) which were described in the previous report. Since 2009, in order to reinforce the transversality, the laboratory strategy is evolving into an organization with four main transverse axes: “Design of New Materials”, “Energy materials”, “Films and Correlated Systems” and “Functional and Thermostructural Materials”. The different groups (crystallography, new materials…) are involved in almost all transverse axes as depicted in the table below (labelled E1, E2…). These teams, whose members are listed in Tables 1, 2 , 3 and 4, have produced the present reports and projects for evaluation. A general organigram is also provided. The CRISMAT will go towards applications as attested by the creation of a common laboratory with NXP (LaMIPS, Laboratoire de Microélectronique ENSICAEN – NXP Cristallography New Materials Ceramic Thin Films Solid State Physics Lamips Implications of the different scientific areas in the E1 to E4 team E1 Design of New Materials (DNM) x x x x x x E2 Energy Materials (EM) x x x x x x E3 Films and Correlated Systems (FICS) x x x x x E4 Functional and Thermostructural Materials (FTM) x x x x x 9 The list of the permanent staff for the four teams is given in the following tables: Table 1 - E1 : Design of New Materials (DNM) Name BARRIER BOUDIN HERVIEU LEPETIT MAIGNAN MALO PELLOQUIN PEREZ PETIT RETOUX RUEFF SIMON First Name Nicolas Sophie Maryvonne Marie-Bernadette Antoine Sylvie Denis Olivier Sebastien Richard Jean-Michel Charles Position MCF MCF PE DR2 DR1 MCF DR2 CR1 MCF IR MCF DR1 Table 3 - E3 : Films and Correlated Systems (FICS) Name BERNSTEIN BOULLAY BOUREGBA CIBERT FRESARD HAMET LÜDERS MERCEY PAUTRAT POULLAIN PRELLIER First Name Pierre Philippe Rachid Christophe Raymond Jean-François Ulrike Bernard Alain Gilles Wilfrid Position PR2 CR1 MCF MCF PR1 PR1 CR2 PR1 CR1 PR2 DR2 Table 2 - E2 : Energy Materials (EM) Name BREARD CAIGNAERT CASAS-CABANAS GASCOIN GUESDON HARDY HEBERT LEBEDEV MARTIN PRALONG RAVEAU WAHL First Name Yohann Vincent Montserrat Franck Anne Vincent Sylvie Oleg Christine Valérie Bernard Alexandre Position MCF PR2 MCF MCF MCF DR2 CR1 DR2 DR2 CR1 PE MCF Table 4 - E4 : Functional and structural materials (FSM) Name BERLAND CHATEIGNER DESCAMPS DHAUSSY DOMENGES EVE GERMANICUS GOMINA GOUPIL GUILMEAU HARNOIS HUG JERNOT JOUANNOT-CHESNEY MARINEL MARTIN MURRAY NOUDEM PASQUET VENARD First Name Corinne Daniel Philippe Anne-Claire Bernadette Sophie Rosine Moussa Christophe Emmanuel Christelle Eric Jean-Paul Patricia Sylvain Patrick Hugues Jacques Daniel Olivier Position EC PR1 PR2 MCF CR1 MCF MCF CR1 PR2 CR1 MCF PR2 CR1 MCF PR2 MCF PE MCF PR2 EC 10 Organization chart DIRECTEUR A.

With about 100-140 publications per year over the last 14 years (see graphs from ISI), the production is stable although the researchers averaged age has decreased. The number of citations increases from year to year reaching 2500 in 2008 and 2009. The impact of our results is also enlightened by the H factors which are among the highest in France for this scientific community (CRISMAT: for Bernard Raveau, H = 66; Maryvonne Hervieu, H = 54; Christine Martin, H = 45; Antoine Maignan, H = 54).

The production per researcher (“équivalent temps plein” ETP) is 3.0 publications per year. The different points (teaching, valorization, communication, formation, safety) are detailed in the Annexes of the present report. 1.1.4 Budget Following the general transversal organization concerning the scientific topics, the entire budget is centralized. This means that the more technological researches (Team E4 has more contracts) can be mutualized with that of teams more involved in fundamentals. By doing so, it is also easier to share fundings in order to have an equipment policy. As a result, the following equipments have been acquired recently: highT thermal conductivity, high-T Seebeck and electrical resistivity, D8 diffractometer, ionslicer, ultracryotome… CRISMAT citations (over the years (1991- ) As responsible of the materials project in the Region, involving other local partners, large investments are also realized (SPS – 2008, clean room with nanolithography – 2009, LHe liquefier -2011). The comparison of the 2008 and 2009 consolidated budgets (see table and graph) to the 2005 one shows a global increase of about 3.3M€, from 5.8M€ to 9.1M€. This evolution is explained by an increase of all the resources. Though the salaries have increased by about 1M€ due to the creation of the common laboratory with NXP, LAMIPS, the relative part of the salaries has decreased from 67% in 2005 to 61% in 2008. The difference between 2008 and 2009 budget results from the exceptional State investment in the nanoobjects preparation (“Plan de relance”) and also from the starting of the FP7 SOPRANO Integrated Training Network. 12 Financial Ressources 2008 and 2009 2008 Origin of the ressources Institutions (Recurrent + CPER + Scientific councils+ Special Funding) European programms (FP6&FP7) amonts in euro without taxes 2009 amonts in euro with taxes (%) without taxes with taxes (%) 766 284 € 916 476 € 10,6% 848 795 € 1 015 158 € 10,5% 160 153 € 194 272 € 2,2% 343 084 € 413 057 € 4,3% ANR 289 716 € 346 501 € 4,0% 312 877 € 374 201 € 3,9% Competitiveness hubs 331 619 € 396 616 € 4,6% 210 198 € 251 397 € 2,6% Other national and international programs 24 198 € 28 940 € 0,3% 91 619 € 109 576 € 1,1% Industrial partnerships 238 041 € 284 697 € 3,3% 289 357 € 346 044 € 3,6% Territorial authorities 1 045 402 € 1 247 556 € 14,4% 1 615 157 € 1 931 728 € 19,9% salaries 5 228 699 € 5 228 699 € 60,5% 5 247 053 € 5 247 053 € 54,2% Total without salaries 2 855 413 € 3 415 058 € 3 711 087 € 4 441 161 € Consolided budget 8 084 112 € 8 643 757 € 8 958 140 € 9 688 214 € 100% 100% 13 without salaries 2008 Territorial authorities : 1 247 556 € / 36% Institutions (Recurrent + CPER + Scientific councils+ Special Funding) 916 476 € / 27% European programms (FP6&FP7) : 194 272 € / 6% Industrial partnerships : 284 697 € / 8% Other national and international programs 28 940 € / 1% The industrial collaborations contracted with the UMS CNRT support, lead to an income of 8% (0.28M€) of the budget without salaries (3.9 M€) to which should be added the contribution of the competitiveness hubs to some of these projects which also amounts to 8%. Most of the partenarial projects have been contracted by the Team E4 “Functional and Thermostructural Materials” whose researches are closer to those of the regional and national industrial partners. In 2009, eight industrial contracts, four collaborative projects including academics and companies -, and supported through the competitiveness hubs, were running. Fifteen expertises for companies were also made. As compared to 2005, the EU budget has been almost unchanged but in contrast the ANR part has increased by a factor of 2. For 2009 five EU programs and nine ANR project were running. In 2010, two new EU programs are starting: ENERMAT, an INTERREG project on energy materials and THERMOMAG (NMP 2010-1.2.3) on thermoelectricity. The advantage of having a broad origin of the resources provides us with the possibility to face annual changes in the proposals success. Of course, the clear disadvantage is the constant growing of the bureaucracy which is generated by the project preparation and realization. In 2010, CRISMAT was partner of seven ANR and two EU proposals; among them, three thematic ANR and one EU projects have been accepted. ANR : 346 501 € / 10% pole of competitivity : 396 616 € / 12% For the future, we will try to keep a similar variety for the resources in order to be able to support both fundamental and technological researches and to maintain an ambitious policy for equipments. 14 1.2 Activity report This section presents results of scientific activities of the four groups for the period 2006 – 2010. As mentioned in the introduction, since 2009, the “new materials” group has been splitted in two teams: “Design of New Materials” and “Energy Materials”. Accordingly, a majority of publications in that field has been co-signed by Researchers who are now involved in these two new teams. For that reason, the publications of these teams result from the strong collaborations between teams “Design of New Materials” and “Energy Materials”. 1.2.1 Design of New Materials (DNM, E1) Permanent Staff : N.

During these four last years, several topics have emerged in Solid State Chemistry: this is the case of lanthanide based oxipnictide materials 1 for superconducting properties, of some revisited materials like the delafossites and closely related cobaltites 2,3 which exhibit edge shared octahedral layers for high temperature thermoelectric applications or the materials with a Kagomé staircase lattice like A3V2O8 for their multiferroic behaviour 4 . In the frame of this international competition, fortified by the numerous experiments and past results obtained in CRISMAT for transition element oxide systems, a large part of our group’s activities is focused on the search of new structural frameworks for functional materials. Another part is devoted to the fine crystal chemistry analyses coupled to some theoretical approaches in order to correlate microstructural features with the magnetotransport properties. Finally, a last part deals with the hybrid materials -recent topic developed in the laboratory- in which the insertion and the control of lamellar organic slices within an inorganic host framework should allow to tune the magnetic properties of our materials. 1.2.1.1 Non stoichiometry in perovskite related intergrowths A knowledge of the detailed structure of real solids requires accurate characterizations at different length scales: this is one of the keys to achieve desired architectures and to optimize the material properties [ACL-08-48]. This approach is illustrated by the study of the nonstoichiometry in the Ruddlesden Popper-type oxide series and the 2201 and 2212-type ferrites. These non-stoichiometry mechanisms generate sometimes complex intergrowths, polytypisms, superperiodicities with incommensurate modulations, terrace structures and crystallographic shear perovskites, but above all tune various electronic and magnetic properties. • RP related intergrowths Iron and cobalt-based Perovskites of the (La,Sr)(Fe,Co)O3 family have been extensively studied for their mixed ionic and electronic conductivity in ceramic membrane applications. The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) An+1BnO3n+1 materials derived from Perovskite by inserting excess (La,Sr)O rock salt-type layers between n octahedra thick perovskite blocks have attracted attention thanks to their enhanced stability in reducing environments. The n=3 RP phase Sr3LaFe1.5Co1.5O10 is capable of sustaining O contents as low as O7.5 with a mean metal oxidation state of +2 and three coordinated metal cations at the central site in the trilayer originally made of octahedra [ACL-06-13]. The second term of the RP cobaltite series has been stabilized by substituting cerium for strontium 15 leading to the air stable oxygen deficient compound Sr2.75Ce0.25Co2O5.65. A large part of these oxygen vacancies can be filled by a postannealing oxidizing treatment inducing ferromagnetic behaviour at Tc=175K [ACL-0825]. A similar approach has been investigated in Sr-Mo-Mg-O system starting from the n=2 RP Sr3Mo1.5Mg0.5O7-δ. Depending on the nominal oxygen deficiency (δ=0.5), a complex layered oxide Sr4.85Mg1.15Mo3O13 has been indentified and described as a phasoid intergrowth (Fig.1) between Sr3Mo2O7 and ordered perovskite Sr2MgMoO6−δ [ACL-10-07]. Figure 1: [110] oriented HRTEM image of Sr5Mo3MgO13 The possibility to introduce foreign groups in the perovskite framework has been previously demonstrated with the report of the oxycarbonate Sr2CuO2CO3 4 leading to the formation of a large series of high Tc superconductors 5 . More recently, after the discovery of superconductivity in water intercalated Na0.35CoO2,2H2O compound 6 , we have demonstrated that the same mechanism occurred in RP ferrites 7 and that it is efficient to induce promising magnetic properties. Similar topotactic transition by air reactivity has been observed in the mixed cobalt/nickel RP n=2 layered oxide with the formation of Sr2.5La0.5Co1.3Ni0.7 (O,OH)7−δ [ACL-07-15]. In parallel to these works, new structural investigations in the Sr-Co-O system by TEM techniques have allowed to identify the formation of complex oxycarbonates (Fig.2) with also a significant reactivity with humidity [A. Demont. Thesis 2008]. Figure 2: [100] oriented HRTEM image of Sr4Co2CO3O6 • 2201 & 2212-Fe related intergrowths Sr4Fe6O13-δ [ACL-06-85] and Bi0.69Sr2.31Fe4O9.33 [ACL-06-35] exhibit 2201 and 2212-type structures respectively. They result in the intergrowth between perovskite and RS blocks and they are characterized by commensurate or incommensurate modulations as well as important disorder phenomena. The driven force of the aperiodicities is the oxygen insertion occurring periodically within the [FeO] layers of the RS blocks. Structure solution using the superspace formalism provides an accurate description of the oxygen non-stoichiometry. However the relative position of two adjacent [FeO] layers cannot be revealed by such approach. The genuine nature of the stacking of the [FeO] layers requires the analysis of the diffuse scattering observed on the diffraction patterns. The study of the disorder phenomena shows that two [FeO] layers do not adopt the stacking mode expected for the RS-type structure but are partly tangled (Fig.3) Figure 3: Stacking of two [FeO] layers along c. Blue and white circles correspond to Fe and O atoms respectively.Atoms belonging to the same layer are linked with the same colour (Blue or red). • Terrace structures crystallographic shear perovskites and Whatever the oxidation state, only the lone pair cations Tl and Bi lead to intergrowth mechanisms [ACL-09-61] with the formation of polytypes as [2201]3/2[2234]1/2[2201]1/2[2234]1/2 toward the regular members m=2 FeBi-2212 [ACL-06-35] and m=4 FeTl-2234 [ACL-08-64]. With Pb2+, an original phase has been discovered (Fig.4) with a terrace-like structure [ACL-06-57], highlighting the similarities and between the [Fe2(Sr2)FeO6.5-δ] 16 [Fe2(Sr3-xPb 2x + )Fe2O9.5-δ] structures with the layered structures discovered in the superconducting cuprates, misfit cobaltites and related phases. The transmission electron microscopy study allowed describing the structure from a monoclinic sub-cell with different sets of modulation vectors and showed that the new phase has a terrace-like structure corresponding to the formation of two types of ribbons parallel to the [302]sub direction. One r ribbon is made of 2212-type bricks, 3/2 ar sub large, and the second of 2201-type bricks, 2 a sub large. The new structure is then described as the intergrowth of 2201-type slices, m octahedra large, and 2212-type slices, n octahedra large. It is therefore the m = 4 and n = 3 member of a large new structural family [Fe2(Sr2)FeO6.52201 2+ 2212 . δ] m [Fe2(Sr3-xA x )Fe2O9.5-δ] n structures follows the concept of a phasoïd, with two coexisting variants with the same unit cell [ACL-09-60]. The difference is located at the translational interface, with the local formation of double (phase “2”) or single (phase “1”) tunnels, where the Pb cations are likely located (Fig.5). The origin of the incommensurability in this CS structure has been determined by careful analyses of the boundaries between the two variants constituting the nanophases [ACL-1026]. The HRTEM and HAADF-STEM images allow elucidate the structural mechanisms by the existence of structural units common to both phases and responsible of the incommensurate character observed in the electron diffraction patterns. A general description of all these ferrites has then been proposed through simple Structural Building Units (SBU), based on chains of octahedra bordered by two pyramids. Figure 5: [010] HAADF STEM image showing the two types of patterns with exactly the same monoclinic cell. Idealized models of the phases 1and 2. Figure 4: [010] oriented HRTEM image and structural model of 2201 [Fe2(Sr2)FeO6.5-δ] 4 2+ 2212 [Fe2(Sr3-xA x )Fe2O9.5-δ] 3 Introducing a second transition metal with iron is another way to investigate the nonstoichiometry. For the composition (Sr0.61Pb0.18)(Fe0.75Mn0.25)O2.29, a new modulated crystallographic shear structure, related to the cation deficient perovskite, has been synthesized. It has been structurally characterized by transmission electron microscopy. All these incommensurate phases required an alternative approach using the superspace formalism to give an unified description of the incommensurate phases from a unique monoclinically distorted perovskite unit cell and unique modulation wave vector. The structure models deduced from the HRTEM and HAADF-STEM images are that of two ½[110]p(203)p crystallographic shear (CS) structures. The compound built up from two Most of these layered and CS ferrites are stabilized as anti-ferromagnetic phases with a magnetic transition close to 700K. The antiferromagnetic “terrace” ferrites differ by the presence of small magnetic component whereas the FeTl-2234 [ACL-08-64] is ferrimagnetic. 1.2.1.2 intergrowths built from CdI2– type layers and related layered materials • Delafossite & Crednerite According to their spin induced ferroelectricity, the CuMO2 delafossites have been revisited. Furthermore, the lack of microscopic model for these structures gave an additional motivation for this work. The magnetic structure of CuCrO2 has been established. It consists in an incommensurate helicoidal antiferromagnetic structure compatible with ferroelectricity [ACL09-83]. For the natural delafossite CuFeO2, the composition domain of doping induced ferroelectricity has been extended by using 17 trivalent rhodium instead of aluminium. Clear optima in both dielectric peak and electric polarization have been evidenced [ACL-09-55, ACL-10-32]. In contrast to the multiferroic behaviour of delafossites, CuCrO2 and doped CuFeO2, the CuMnO2 crednerite compound (Mn3+ d4) is not reported to be a spin induced ferroelectric. Its magnetic structure has been solved [ACL-09-25]. This compound crystallizes in a monoclinic structure (SG C2/m) instead of R-3m which reflects the existence of an orbital ordering of the Mn3+ (Jahn-Teller) cations lifting the triangular degeneracy (Fig.6). The corresponding collinear antiferromagnetic structure is not compatible with ferroelectricity. Figure 6: Mn3+ triangular network of CuMnO2 showing the relation between the dz2 orbital order (left) and magnetic structure (right) In the case of the multiferroic delafossites, a microscopic model has been proposed to explain these properties. The metal-oxygen orbitals hybridization is its key ingredient. Nevertheless, replacing O by S as one goes from AgCrO2 to AgCrS2 does not change the groundstate since both compounds are spin induced ferroelectrics [ACL-09-114]. • Misfit cobaltites and superperiodicities The family of misfit layered cobalt oxides, widely investigated for their thermoelectric properties, is composed of two subsystems stacked along the c direction: a rock-salt (RS)type block sandwiching [CoO2] layers. The different periodicities observed along b for the two subsystems (b1 and b2) lead to the superperiodicity (Fig.7). b1 S1 { [AO] NaCl -type layers } b2 S2 {[CoO2] CdI2- type layers} Figure 7: experimental [001]ED pattern showing the coexistence of two subcells (S1 & S2) The main structural characteristic of these misfit layered oxides is directly related to the aperiodicity via the b1/b2 ratio; thus their chemical formula can be written [RS][CoO2]b1/b2. The influence of the structure of the RS blocks via electronic and coulombic interactions with the [CoO2] layers is crucial to explain the observed physical properties. Different types of RS blocks have been then considered to improve these properties; their structures were accurately investigated. In the case of Bi based misfit cobaltites built from 4 RS layers, the RS blocks are characterized by additional intrinsic modulation or an important disorder [ACL-08-78]. Recently, an additional modulation related to a structural disorder–order phase transition has been reported in the misfit lamellar structure [Ca2CoO3][CoO2]1.62 around 400K [ACL-0879]. The disorder observed at room temperature affecting the central [CoO] layer of the RS blocks disappears above 400K and a perfect translational order is recovered. Concurrently, the iodine intercalation in the [Bi0.84CaO2]2[CoO2]1.69 [ACL-07-38] compound has been considered; it occurs between the BiO layers opened the road for additional changes within the RS blocks. Although the available experimental data are not sufficient for a proper structural refinement, comparison with previously known structures, considering both the crystal symmetry in the superspace approach and the metric of the crystal lattices allowed us to propose structural models and to derive some rules governing the stacking scheme of the subsystems of the misfit structures. • Theoretical approach Apart from multiferroic behaviours, the delafossite compounds with M-mixed-valency or with Pt+ (Pd+) cations instead of Cu+ exhibit electronic conductivity. Electronic band calculations performed for PtCoO2 and PdCoO2 have revealed that their low resistivity (few μΩ.cm) is related to the s-p bands of Pt+ (Pd+)O2- hybridized orbitals [ACL-08-28]. In contrast, for CuCr1-xMgxO2 [ACL-09-66] and CuRh1-xMgxO2 [ACL-09-65], the divalent substitution for trivalent Cr3+ (Rh3+) creates Cr4+ (Rh4+) / Cr3+ (Rh3+) mixed-valency. Only for the latters, high seebeck values are obtained even for metallic behaviours (CuRh0.9Mg0.1O2) (Fig.8). These experimental and theoretical studies point towards the peculiar role played by the CdI2-type layer in these structures – similarly to NaxCoO2 and misfit cobaltites – to generate thermoelectric p-type oxides. 18 Remarkably, in the CuRh1-xMgxO2 case, an unusual ραT2 regime has been evidenced over more than 500K. This Fermi-liquid-like behaviour associated to a SαT behaviour produces a rather T-independent power factor (S2/ρ) which is totally original. Figure 8: Electrical in CuRh1-xMgxO2 resistivity as a function of T The non stoichiometry of the delafossite structure does not allow to reach a broad range of mixed valency. In that respect, the NaxCoO2 and misfit cobaltites allow to study Co species with larger oxidation states. Thus, these thermoelectric cobaltites such as the misfit [Ca2CoO3][CoO2]1.62 and the NaxCoO2 compounds, where high Seebeck coefficient and superconductivity were found, have been studied considering their electronic structure in collaboration with E2, E4 teams. The CoO2 layers were quickly identified to be responsible for the unusual transport and magnetic properties of this family. For a long time the electronic structure of the cobalt atom in this layer and the nature of the Fermi level electrons were subject of debate. We were able to clarify this point [ACL-08-59] and explain the discrepancy between the computed Fermi surfaces and the ARPES measurements [Landron J Phys cond mat. accepted 2010]. Similarly we showed [ACL-06-49] that the correlation strength increases with the electron doping of the CoO2 layers (U/t~15 for the pure CoO2 with only Co4+ ions up to U/t~30 for a doping corresponding to the average valence Co3.3+), while the strength of the antiferromagnetic exchange decreases and can be expected to change sign (becomes ferromagnetic) slightly over 2/3 electrons doping. From these calculations, an explanation for temperature behaviour of the TEP as a function of the temperature was proposed and in particular of its high temperature behaviour (well fitted by a Heikes formula) around room temperature and of the Seebeck’s increase around 400K [Soret J. thesis 2010]. • New intergrowths Like reported in the previous activity report, the research on misfit oxides can be enlarged to rhodium based layered oxides illustrated by the oxide [Bi2Ba2O4][RhO2]1.8 [ACL-06-47]. If one considers the similar filling of the Rh d orbitals (Rh3+: 4d6, Co3+: 3d6) this comparison is important to understand the physics of such systems. Thus new investigations have been performed in the Bi-Sr-Rh-O system and single crystals related to an original layered structure Bi6Sr2Rh7O22 have been isolated [ACL-07-51]. The structural resolution of this material by means of TEM and X-ray single crystal diffraction data has evidenced a new stacking built from regular intergrowth between a double ordered [(Bi0.75Sr0.25)2O2] wurtzite-type and [RhO2] CdI2-type slices (Fig.9) 3 nm c Figure 9: [110] oriented HRTEM image and structural model of Bi6Sr2Rh7O22 A second part deals with the exploration of BaCo/Ga-O system and the description of a new complex intergrowth family including [CoO2]CdI2 layers and hexagonal perovskite layers. The synthesis of single crystals by KCl flux method was undertaken and has allowed to isolate three independent oxides. The first one, Ba0.9CoO2.6 exhibits a needle shape and it has been identified as a 12H hexagonal perovskite [ACL-06-63]. The two others can be described considering a large layered series built from two elementary blocks: one original block [Ba(Ga,Co)8O11] related to one slice [Co4O8] CdI2 sandwiched between two [BaCo2O3] slices and one block deriving from hexagonal perovskite– type structure. The TEM analyses of these materials revealed the existence of numerous defects (Fig.10). 19 Among the Sr-Fe-Al-O system, four polymorphic SrAl1.5Fe0.5O4 phases related to the tridymite structure have been isolated, two of them exhibiting original structures [ACL09-28]. Reversible transitions between those phases occur around 600°C: they result from a topotactic mechanism ensured by joint displacements of the Fe3+/Al3+ cations and part of the O2- ions. c SbO6 Figure 10: HREM Image of Ba2(Co,Ga)9O14 with defects Kagome layer AlO4 Thus the structural relationships of this large family [Ba(Ga,Co)8O11][BaCoO3]n, where n represents the number of [BaCoO3] slices, was established and two members (n = 1 and 5) have been isolated [ACL-07-75; Martinet PhD thesis 2007] (Fig.11).

The aluminate compounds are known for their ability to generate frameworks with high ionic mobilities. For example sodium beta alumina is a cationic conductor used as electrolytes in fuel cells and silicoaluminate zeolithes are used for ionic exchanges or separations. In order to develop new materials with such properties, we investigated several aluminate systems by inserting metallic ions, able to present various oxidation degrees and/or various coordinations and also alkaline or alkaline earth ions able to generate mobility. Thus among the A-Sb-Al-O system (A = Sr or Ba), two new original phases have been isolated : A1.5+xSbAl5O11.5 (A = Sr, Ba) [ACL-08-65] (Fig.12) and Sr1.5+xSb2xAl5+xO14 (x=0,21) [ACL-09-62]. They exhibit compact layers built up from SbO6, AlO6, and AlO4 polyhedra, certain layers adopting a Kagome type. The Sr2+ and Ba2+ ions lie in layers with partial occupancies. The ionic conductivities will be investigated in collaboration with the E2 team. Numerous studies in Solid State Chemistry are devoted to explore the transition metal based oxides in order to find new stacking with promising electronic and/or transport properties. In this goal, several cobalt, iron or tellurium based systems have been scanned in order to identify new frameworks. In parallel, this research of new functional materials has been enlarged to hybrid structures. • 114- related materials The crystal chemistry investigations in Co-rich phases in the Ba-Co-O system have led to enlarge our research field to ABaCo4O7 materials (A=Y, Ln) for which the structural model LuBa(Zn,Al)4O7 was previously reported by Rabbow et al 8 and more recently by Valldor in the case of cobaltites 9 . This materials family, so-called 114, exhibits a complex structure built up from corner sharing CoO4 tetrahedra framework in which the stacking can be viewed as a 1:1 intergrowth of triangular and Kagome Co layers (Fig.13). Fig.13: [001] and [010] oriented drawings of YBaCo4O7 20 In a first step, we have demonstrated that a structural transition from a trigonal P31c to an orthorhombic Pbn21 setting occurred in a temperature range varying from low temperatures (T=170K for A=Yb) up to room temperature (A=Y) depending on the nature of A element. The most important result is that this transition is directly correlated to the changes in the magneto-transport properties [ACL-06-16, ACL-06-61] (Fig.14). Fig.14: cell parameter and Seebeck value versus T observed for YbBaCo4O7 In the same way, some partial substitutions of Ni, Zn or Ga for Co species are shown to be efficient to decrease this transition temperature or even to suppress it for Ni or Ga contents superior to 10% [ACL-08-69, ACL-08-70]. Complete or partial substitutions at the level of A and Co sites lead to ferrimagnetic compounds CaBaM4O7 (M=Co,Fe) [ACL-08-93, ACL-0915, ACL-09-91]. The magnetic structure of CaBaCo4O7 has been solved from neutron diffraction data [ACL-10-09]. A new Fe-114 series ABaFe4O7 (A=Dy-Lu, Y, In, Sc) has been isolated. It exhibits a cubic F4-3m structure and spin glass properties [ACL-09-14, ACL-09-122, ACL-09-87]. This framework also built up from corner sharing FeO4 tetrahedra differs from the homologous 114-Co series by a “ccc” close packing of [BaO3] and [O4] layers compared to “chch” observed in the case of 114-cobaltite (Fig. 15). Fig.15: 114-Fe (left) & 114-Co (right) models • Te oxides Elements with electronic lone pairs like Te4+ are often used to obtain non-centrosymmetric crystal structures with ferroelectric, ferroelastic or nonlinear optical applications. Another interesting point of Te4+ is its ability to adopt several coordinations, allowing the crystallisation of polymorphs. Since numerous layered crystal structures have already been isolated (illustrating this richness), we have focused our attention on the A-Te-O ternary (A=Sr,Ca). A first compound SrTe3O8 has been isolated [ACL-06-06] as a bulk material. Its non-centrosymmetric tetragonal structure has been solved ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction data. A second compound, CaTe2O5, has been studied for which four polymorphic forms were reported in litterature. Despite the numerous twinning phenomena detected by TEM techniques, an average monoclinic layered α-CaTe2O5 structure could be resolved combining HRTEM images and powder X-ray data, Single crystals have been obtained by hydrothermal route allowing the exact structure of monoclinic ε-CaTe2O5 to be resolved [ACL09-05]. The hydrothermal synthesis method has also allowed us to obtain new hydrated oxides ATeO3(H2O) (A=Ca, Sr) that exhibit some complex structural features as an incommensurable lattice or twins. (a) c (b) a c a 250 - 350°C -H2O Fig.16: structural model before and after hydration of SrTeO3(H2O) Futhermore, the dehydratation of the latter (Fig.16) is an other way to synthesise novel metastable phases such as ε-SrTeO3 obtained from topotactic dehydratation of SrTeO3(H2O). • Hybrid materials This approach deals with the use of original polyfunctional organic precursors from the phosphonate family involved in Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF’s) in order to synthesize original materials available for applications in magnetism, luminescence, ionic conductivity, gas or drug storage. With the aim of generating such properties, a strong collaboration has been initiated with the Pr. Paul-Alain Jaffres (CEMAC Laboratory – Brest) specialist in the synthesis of phosphonic acid derivatives. This collaboration gives us the strong opportunity to use non commercial molecules, designed “on demand” and at a large scale, in order to make easier the syntheses enlarging the range of applications. To understand and control the 21 formation of such hybrid materials (1D, 2D or 3D networks) the following parameters have been considered: the structure (rigidity, number, position and type of functional groups) of the organic precursors, the nature of the inorganic salt precursor and the influence of the experimental conditions (hydrothermal, solvothermal or microwave) applied for the synthesis of hybrid materials. The first result concerned the crystal resolution of the benzene1,3,5-triphosphonic acid [ACL-07-46], analogue of the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic namely trimesic acid widely used for the MOF’s synthesis. This study has shown that the 1,3,5triphosphonic acid forms a material characterized by strong hydrogen bonds, owing to a π-stacking involving the aromatic rings, leading to an organic supramolecular ladder-like architecture made of auto-assembly molecules. The benzene ring has also been used as a rigid scaffold for the synthesis of bifunctional (3- or 4-phosphonobenzoic acid) or trifunctional (1,3-diphophonobenzoic acid) building blocks. Thus, associated to europium salt, it produces a 3D luminescent material exhibiting a remarkable thermal stability up to 500°C (Fig.17) [ACL-09-95]. 2 µm Fig.17: morphology and powder X-ray diffraction data evolution versus T of 4-phosphonobenzoic acid Synthesis involving 3-phosphonobenzoic acid has demonstrated that the pH of the reaction medium had a crucial impact on the structure of the as-formed hybrid materials. At, low pH only the phosphonic acid is bonded to the inorganic network, constituted of pseudo perovskite layer [M2+PO6C]∞ (M2+ = Cu2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Mn2+) [ACL-08-98 ; ACL-09-96] to form lamellar materials characterized by the presence of the free carboxylic acid groups in the layer structure. A similar organisation is also observed with the La3+, but in this case the material is made of isolated metal-molecule dimmers linked together via hydrogen bonds [ACL-09-97]. At higher pH, when Zn2+ or Cu2+ acetate precursors are used, both functional groups are connected to the inorganic network leading to a 3D network for Zn2+ and to a 1D helical-chain material characterized by a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure for Cu2+. Finally, 1,3-diphosphonobenzoic acid, associated to Cu2+, produced a 3D hybrid material in which the three functional groups are linked to the inorganic network [ACL-09-99]. • Intercalated materials A second approach concerned the synthesis and use of lamellar hybrid materials for the elaboration and the characterisation of polymer nanocomposites and had been developed during the thesis of S. Chausson [2009]. Our interest for nanocomposite results from the high interfacial interaction between the charge and the organic polymer to obtain materials with specific properties despite the small amount of the involved charge. The difficulties generally observed to get this high interaction arise from the tendency of the charge to agglomerate and to form microcharges instead of nanocharges. To solve this problem, layered hybrid materials possessing organic moieties with good chemical affinity with a selected polymer can be used. This academic work has concerned the synthesis and characterisation of two lamellar hybrid systems: the lamellar oxide KTiNbO5 chemically modified with alkylamines [ACL09-23] and the copper(II) alkylphosphonates [ACL-08-19] which, to our knowledge had never been used until this study as filler in thermoplastic polymers. For the first family, we have confirmed that intercalation of alkylamines into the layer oxide KTiNbO5 is possible and we proposed a structural model based on powder Xray diffraction results. After dispersion in a polar (polyamide-12) or apolar (polyethylene) matrix polymer (collaboration with Dr L Le Pluart, LCMT, Caen) we have showed that the alkyl chains allow a better compatibility of the hybrid charge with the polymer and thus a better dispersion of the inorganic layer in the polymer matrix. This better dispersion of the fillers modifies the physical-properties of the nanocomposite. The effects of the hybrid fillers were characterized in terms of morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties and fire resistance. A similar study has also been done in the case of copper (II) alkylphosphonates. This study has shown that the covalent bond which links the organic part to the inorganic layer of the hybrid does not allow obtaining an efficient exfoliation mechanism but it has confirmed that it is possible to transfer a physical property to a polymer using a loading rate of about 5% by mass. 22 1.2.1.4 Multiferroic materials • “charge ordering” in Perovskite structures The ABO3 perovskite structure is known for its ability to accommodate a large variety of structural modifications and a large variety of chemical and physical properties. Charge ordering (CO) one of the most fascinating, but controversial, phenomenon, was recently reported to be one of the way to create ferroelectricity 10 . The bonding and electronic structure characteristics of the iron-based SrFeO3−δ perovskite doped with trivalent cations give rise to additional phenomena such as charge and orbital ordering, reported for the Ln1/3Sr2/3FeO3-x and multiferroic behaviour. Under oxygen stoichiometry control, Bi1/3Sr2/3FeO2.67 and Bi1/2Ca1/2FeO2.75 exhibit orthorhombic superstructures (Fig. 18) associated to two types of order/disorder phenomena [ACL-08-63]. The first one, Bi/(Sr,Ca) ordering in the perovskite cages, is associated to the stereoactivity of the Bi3+ lone pair and the second one to oxygen vacancies in the FeOx layers. These compounds are antiferromagnetic. Fig.18: [001] and Bi1/2Ca1/2FeO2.75 [010] oriented HRTEM images of The structural model of the charge ordered state (TCO≈330K) of Bi1-xCaxMnO3 (x = 0.4 and 0.45) has been determined coupling different techniques vs T. The structural model is based on the alternation of one double band of Mn(1)O6 with one double band of Mn(2)O6 (Fig.19), the charge of the two Mn being very close, the driving force of the transition is an orbital ordering [ACL-06-33 - ACL-06-29]. Fig.19: [010] oriented HRTEM image and corresponding structural model of Bi0.6Ca0.4MnO3 For higher Bi content (x = 0.37, 0.33 and 0.24) three different behaviours have been observed. Two compositions, x = 0.33 and x = 0.24, belong to the spin glass domain. Bi0.67Ca0.33MnO3 exhibits a magnetic frustration caused by ferro/antiferromagnetic exchange interactions and, in addition, the magnetic order coexists with the spin glass order at a scale which does not allow CMR effects [ACL-06-34; ACL-08-41]. Anomalies in the χ-1(T) curves of Bi0.71Ca0.24MnO3-δ and Bi0.63Ca0.37MnO3 are associated to two different mechanisms, not observed in Bi0.67Ca0.33MnO3. An unprecedented [111] p-type ordering of the perovskite cell, associated to a change of the slope in the magnetic curve, is observed. Bi0.71Ca0.24MnO3-δ is at the convergence point of a complex competition between two driving mechanims: the lone pair ordering/orbital ordering of the ferromagnetic BiMnO3 and the charge ordering/orbital ordering of the pseudo CE antiferromagnetic Bi0.63Ca0.37MnO3. • Others oxide systems For chemists and physicists, the ferroelectric and (anti)ferromagnetic orders are generally exclusive. As magnetic cations with partially filled d-shells are centred in their coordination polyhedra, no electric dipole is created in contrast to the off- centering of the d0 or d10 cations, such as Ti4+ for instance in BaTiO3. Nonetheless, the possibility to control magnetic memories by using electric field (magnetoelectric coupling) or to control the capacitance values by applying a magnetic field (magnetodielectric effect) are challenging the solid state scientists. The report of spin induced ferroelectricity in several magnetic oxides has motivated an experimental effort in the laboratory to design a measurement system for magnetic dependence of both dielectric constant and polarization (from 2K and up to 14T). This system quality (only a few of them exists worldwide) has been demonstrated by P(E)H measurements of MnWO4 crystals grown in the laboratory [ACL-08-57]. A clear P suppression is observed for magnetic field beyond 10T (Fig.20). 23 1 2 3 Fig.20: P(E) loops collected for a MnWO4 crystal under different applied external magnetic fields. To search for magnetodielectrics or magnetoferroelectrics a special attention has been paid to frustrated magnetic networks. The cobalt triangular networks of divalent or trivalent cobalt in Co3V2O8 [ACL-07-08] or Ca3Co2O8 [ACL-08-09], respectively, have been shown to be responsible for magnetodielectric effects. A clear relation between the magnetic susceptibility and the dielectric constant is found consistently with the Landau theory. Similar effects were also observed for the first time in YbMnO3 crystals and Bi2Mn4/3Ni2/3O6 ceramics, provided by Groningen and Liverpool universities [ACL-09-02, ACL-09-24]. Understanding the coupling between charge, spin and the lattice is made by using neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffractions. This approach was used to study the origin of the polarisation in FeVO4 [ACL-09-57]. Coming back to the spin induced ferroelectricity, the low T of magnetic ordering in the delafossites precludes any application. As reported for CuO crystals, which show a magnetoelectric behaviour just below RT 11 , incommensurable anti-ferromagnetic structures with higher Néel temperatures are required. In that respect the “112” compound, YBaCuFeO5, discovered in the laboratory exhibits a favorable magnetic structure. Our measurements have demonstrated the existence of a spin induced ferroelectricity below TN2≅200K in that compound which is ranked 2nd by its temperature just after CuO [ACL-09-56].

One of the biggest challenges we face in the 21st century is to provide energy that is available, affordable, secure and sustainable. There are also concerns about the availability of more efficient energy storage systems. Storage is going to become increasingly important with the development of mobile devices (portable electronic devices and electric vehicles) and because some of the renewable resources generate power only intermittently. Many new energy-saving technologies are now emerging. Among them, the thermoelectric generator is a promising technology to convert waste heat into electrical energy. In addition, thermoelectric devices can * retired be used in tandem with solar cells to increase the conversion of solar radiation into electricity. New energy conversion technologies with smaller environmental impact and better efficiencies can also be used to replace older one. This is the case for the magnetocaloric effect, which might be used in cooling system. Although not a source, a carrier, or user of energy, catalysts play an important role in facilitating the transformation of material. The development and commercialization of such new technologies will require a new generation of advanced materials. Our group’s activities were then focussed on the synthesis of new materials for electrochemical energy storage, thermoelectric generation, magnetocaloric refrigeration and catalytic process. In order to strengthen the activity of the group, M. Casas-Cabanas, F. Gascoin and O. Lebedev joined the team these last two years. 1.2.2.1 Materials for energy storage: 1.2.2.1.1 New Materials for Li-ion Batteries The needs about energy storage have encouraged numerous investigations in the field of lithium batteries and cathode materials these last thirty years. Thus many famous authors like Wittingham, Goodenough, Armand, Tarascon, Delmas, Livage and their collaborators have carried out a tremendous work on layered lithium intercalated oxides such as LixV2O5, LixCoO2, LixNiO2, LixMnO2 and their solid solutions (for a review see ref. 1 ). There is no doubt that the latter materials will still be improved and are very promising for the future technology. Nevertheless, the discovery, ten years ago, of the lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4, with the olivine structure as a potential material for cathode with a low cost 2 suggests that materials, with a new structure or a different morphology, remain to be discovered, which should be able to compete with known layered oxides. Based on these considerations, we have started six years ago, investigations about new hydrogenophosphates and their possible intercalation and exchange reactions with lithium. We also investigated the intercalation of lithium in well-known structures such as HTiNbO5, Li4Mo5O17 but also in nanocrystalline rutile and brookite TiO2. Our idea is therefore to generate new frameworks. 25 Transition Metal Oxides 3.2 C/100 Ball Milling 1h Volts vs Li/Li + 3.0 2.8 2.6 2.4 2.2 2.0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 Current mA/g Topotactic syntheses of new phases have been performed by two routes. The first one is the ionic exchange. Indeed, we prepared a new layered titanoniobate, LiTiNbO5, an n=2 member of the AxM2nO4n+2 family, using a molten salt reaction between HTiNbO5 and an eutectic “LiOH/LiNO3”. This new phase intercalates reversibly 0.8 lithium through a first-order transformation (94 mAh/g) at 1.67 V vs Li/Li+ [ACL-06-19]. The second route is the electrochemical lithium insertion. Two new phases were prepared that way: (Li,H)3TiNbO5 [ACL-08-20] and Li12Mo5O17 [ACL-09-84]. Interestingly these two phases show an ordered rock salt type phase strongly related to the parent phase. The lithium insertion takes place through a first order reaction as observed on the potentiodynamic curve Fig. 1. Another interesting approach we have explored in order to find new phase for the energy storage is the direct synthesis with a control of the particle size or the porosity. x in Li4+xMo5O17 Figure 1: Potentiodynamic curve for Li insertion in Li4Mo5O17. For the latter, we found that at 320°C, HTiNbO5 looses one water molecule leading to the phase Ti2Nb2O9. The high-resolution electron microscopy study of this phase shows that Ti2Nb2O9 exhibits an exceptional nanoporosity (Fig. 2), involving the formation of aligned holes throughout the whole microcrystal, which may favor, together with the presence of tunnels, the diffusion of lithium during the insertion. This phase can intercalate lithium reversibly, through a solid-solution process for a capacity of 125mAh/g at 1.57V vs Li/Li+ [ACL-08-21]. Figure 2: HRTEM of Ti2Nb2O9 Within the framework of a French-Indian project, nanocrystalline titanium oxides have been studied. Rutile and brookite TiO2 have been prepared at the nanoscale and for the first time the electrochemical studies have shown that one Li/fu is inserted [ACL-06-96]. A reversible capacity of 170mAh/g is observed even after 40 cycles for the brookite type phase [ACL-07-86]. The large impact of the particle size on the electrochemical performances have been studied also on the pseudo-brookite phase MgTi2O5 [ACL-08-94], and VOMoO4 [ACL07-85]. Transition Metal Polyanionic groups In search of new phase, the hydrogenophospohates family was insufficiently explored. Thus, we decide to investigate this family through direct synthesis or ion exchange in order to generate new framework. Therefore, we found that the layered phase Ti(HPO4)2·H2O intercalates one lithium at 2.5V [ACL-07-50]. Moreover, the insertion of one lithium is found for the 3D phase (H3O)[Fe(H2O)]3[H8(PO4)6]·3H2O [ACL-06-87], prepared from hydratation of Fe(H2PO4)3 [ACL-06-04]. The exchange of proton for lithium in the 3D VO(H2PO4)2 has allowed a new 2D cathode material Li4VO(PO4)2 to be prepared [ACL-06-45; ACL-07-17]. On the other hand, the topotactic lithium insertion into Li4VO(PO4)2 leads to the 3D new structure Li5VO(PO4)2. [ACL-08-51]. A new vanadium diphosphate, Li2VOP2O7, has been synthesized by ion exchange from Na2VOP2O7, using an eutectic mixture of {0.4LiOH.H2O+0.6LiNO3} at 200°C. One lithium is deintercalated by charging to 4.6 V, however, on discharge only about 0.5 Li is reintercalated [ACL-08-52]. 1.2.2.1.2 Ionic conductors The development of new solid-state devices such as micro-batteries or fuel cells is conditioned by the need for electrolyte material. We have focussed our work on solid electrolytes with high protonic or alkaline conductivity. Two routes were explored: hydrogenophosphates and oxides. The aim of this task was to search new ionic conductors in order to obtain solid electrolytes for all-solidstate batteries and/or fuel cells. Two routes have been followed: the low temperature direct synthesis in the system A-M-(P)-O with A= alkaline ion and M= transition element and the 26 topotactic ionic exchange. For the latter one, the new phase, Li4VO(PO4)2 was synthesized by a lithium ion exchange reaction from protonic phase, VO(H2PO4)2. The exchange of lithium causes a stress, leading to a change in the dimensionality of the structure from 3D to 2D by the displacement of oxygen atoms. Thus, Li4VO(PO4)2 structure consists of double layers [V2P4O18]∞ formed by successive chains of VO6 octahedra and VO5 pyramids with isolated PO4 tetrahedra. The lithium ions located in between the layers promote mobility. Furthermore, the ionic conductivity of 10-4 S/cm at 550°C for Li4VO(PO4)2 confirms the mobility of lithium ions in the layers [ACL-07-17]. On the other hand, VO(H2PO4)2 exhibits a conductivity of 10-4 S/cm at room temperature due to the presence of protons in tunnels. Regarding the direct synthesis, a large number of new phases was prepared. A new hydrogenophosphate Mn(H2PO4)2 was synthesized from an aqueous solution. Its ab initio structure resolution shows that the original layered structure of this phase consists of PO2(OH)2 tetrahedra and MnO5OH octahedra, sharing corners to form [MnP2O8H4]∞ layers, whose cohesion is ensured through hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3). This phosphate is shown to be a good protonic conductor with a conductivity of 10-4.4 S/cm at 90°C [ACL-08-07]. Figure3: Structure of Mn(H2PO4)2 along the c axis. The exploration of the systems Fe-H-P-O, LiFe-H-P-O, K-Fe-H-P-O, using soft chemistry methods has allowed four new hydrogenophosphates to be synthesized. Note also that the preparation method generates well-defined particle shape (Fig.4). For the hydroxonium iron phosphate, (H3O)[Fe(H2O)]3[H8(PO4)6]·3H2O, protonic conductivity is observed in agreement with the simultaneous presence of H2O, hydrated protons and OH- groups in the large intersecting tunnels of this structure [ACTI06-20]. The structures of two of them FeH2P2O7 and LiH3Fe(P2O7)2 - exhibit close relationships: their 3D-framework consists of [FeO4]∞ and [LiFe2O12]∞ chains of edgesharing octahedral respectively, interconnected through diphosphate groups. Differently the third phosphate, K2Fe(HP2O7)(H2PO4)2 exhibits a chain structure, involving isolated FeO6 octahedra. Among these three phosphates, only the latter exhibits ionic conductivity, which may originate from the proton mobility [ACL-09-86]. 6 1 .4 x 1 1 . 2 x6 1 ΔV = 5 0 r 0.1 H z 1 . 0 x6 1 8 . 0 x5 1 1000 H z - Z " 6 . 0 x5 15 0 0 0 H z 1 Hz 4 . 0 x5 1 20 H z 2 . 0 x5 1 0. 0. 5 6 6 6 6 5 .0x 1 1 .0 x 1 1 .5 x 1 2 .0x 1 2 .5 x 1 Z ' 2 Figure 4: SEM image of K2Fe(HP2O7)(H2PO4)2. Inset: Nyquist plot at room temperature A new cobaltophosphate Na2Co8(PO4)6 with an original tunnel structure was directly synthesized at 900°C. The framework [Co8P6O24]∞ consists of a complex arrangement of corner and edge sharing CoO5 pyramids and PO4 tetrahedra forming large tunnels running along a and b cell axis. In this structure two partially occupied Na+ sites distributed along the axis of the ‘‘hexagonal’’ tunnels are evidenced. Complex impedance measurements show that this phosphate is an ionic conductor above 600 K [ACL-06-03]. The anionic conductors, LnBaCo2O5+δ (Ln= rare earth), with an ordered perovskite strucutre have been extensively studied in Caen for their complex magnetic and transport properties in competition with several other laboratories of the international community. The evidence for the crucial role of mixed valence in the cobaltites [ACL-08-92, ACL09-92] is at the origin of new complex magnetic transitions in these materials [ACL08-105], whereas substitution by Ca at the Ln site [ACL-08-103] or by Ni at the B site 27 [ACL-06-94] in LnBaCo2O5.50 perovskites enhances ferromagnetism and also shows magnetic phase separation and ultrasharp magnetization steps [ACL-06-95]. Measurement of transport and magnetic properties in YBaCo2O5.45 shows that the electronic and magnetic transitions, around room temperature, are not coupled [ACL-0772]. Spin locking effect was discovered in the nanoscale ordered perovskite LaBaCo2O6 [ACL-07-54, ACTI-07-06] and impact of ordering upon magnetoresistance properties of this double perovskite was also evidenced [ACT-08-91]. Stabilisation of several members using soft chemistry was shown for Ln=Nd, La and various δ values [ACTI-06-20, ACT-0990]. In this series of oxides, the effect of calcium was shown to change dramatically the transport and thermoelectric properties [ACL09-54] and the nature of ferromagnetism [ACL-08-104, ACL-09-108]. 1.2.2.2 Material for energy conversion: 1.2.2.2.1 thermoelectric properties of the three different families of thermoelectric oxides (metallic, degenerate semi-conductor or semi-conductor) can be described using the different models explained below. This activity relies on a strong collaboration with ‘DMN, E1’ and ‘FSM, E4’ for materials and ‘FICS, E3’ for modelization. The semi-conducting orthochromite Pr1xCaxCrO3 The Heikes formula developed for strongly correlated materials from the Hubbard model 5 theoretically enables the calculation of the thermopower considering that in the high-T limit thermopower is directly the entropy per carrier. As carriers can have spin and orbital degeneracies, extra terms have to be added 6 . For orthochromites, as shown in figure 5, S as a function of x, can be perfectly fitted by the Heikes formula, taking into account these extra spin and orbital degeneracy terms [ACL-0684], as calculated in ref. 7 . An enhancement of S can thus be obtained by optimizing these terms in these semi-conducting oxides. Thermoelectric materials Thermoelectric materials are characterized by their dimensionless figure of merit ZT = S2T/ (ρκ), with S the Seebeck coefficient, ρ the resistivity and κ the thermal conductivity. ZT should be as large as possible, with the criterion of ZT ≥ 1 for applications. The discovery of a large thermopower in the metallic NaxCoO2 3 has shown that oxides can be good candidates for thermoelectric generation, especially at high temperature, as these materials are very stable and can work directly in air. In CRISMAT, the misfit oxides had been discovered in 1996 4 . Their structure can be described by two monoclinic sublattices of common a, c and β parameters, but different b with incommensurate ratio b1/b2 (b1 for RockSalt like layers and b2 for CdI2 type layers similar to the ones of NaxCoO2). The unique transport properties originate from the presence of CoO2 layers, made of edge-shared tilted CoO6 octahedra. The properties of these families of oxides have been compared to other oxides, with different crystallographic structures, to understand the importance of doping, spin states and electronic correlations on thermopower. Following these studies, the Figure 5: Evolution of S as a function of the carrier concentration x. The Heikes formula is representated as the solid line, and the dashed line is the Heikes formula taking into account the spin and orbital degeneracy. Degenerate semi-conductors : the example of CaMn1-xWxO3 Electron doped manganites present interesting phenomena due to phase separation and orbital/charge ordering and are among the best n type thermoelectric oxides. Their magnetic and transport properties strongly depend on doping, and the phase diagram of CaMn1xWxO3 has been investigated in details by XRay diffraction, electron microscopy and magnetotransport experiments [ACL-07-62]. 28 Orbital and charge ordering phenomena are observed at very high temperatures in these systems. Thermopower is a good probe of these materials and in the paramagnetic state, a new model has been developed to describe the linear S(T) by the ‘time independent correlation function’ approach, from which bandwidth and effective charge carrier density can be extracted. Metallic oxides: misfits and related structures In misfits, different materials have been synthesized to investigate the importance of spin states and doping, as in low spin states Rh oxide misfits [ACL-06-47], or in the new misfits [Ca2-yLnyCu0.7+yCo1.3-yO4][CoO2]b1/b2 (Ln = Y3+ and Pr3+) where Y3+ or Pr3+ doping induces a shift of the Co valency [ACL-06-20]. S at 300K quantitatively follows the Heikes formula (collaborations with M. Pollet from ICMCB, Bordeaux [ACL-07-77] and P. Limelette from LEMA, Tours) showing the importance of electronic correlations [ACL-0660], but the spin and orbital degeneracy term is smaller than proposed in ref. 8 , only 2 instead of 6, due to the lifting of degeneracy of the t2g orbitals in a1g and double degenerate e’g, as calculated in [ACL-08-59]. Note that this Heikes formula can also be used in other metallic oxides such as SrRuO3 [ACL-06-46], and the validity of this formula in these metallic systems is still under investigation. One puzzling question in misfits is the origin of the large increase of ρ(T) below 100K, not observed in the NaxCoO2 family (except for x = 0.5), and associated with the large and negative magnetoresistance (MR). Doping plays a crucial role and can suppress this localized state as shown in single crystals of [Bi1.74Sr2O4-d][CoO2]1.82 doped by Pb2+. The modulation in the BiO layer has also been suppressed by Pb2+, and this modulation could also affect the low T transport properties [ACL-09-53]. The low T negative MR and magnetothermopower (MTEP) have been analyzed in collaboration with P. Limelette from LEMA (Tours), taking into account the presence of two kinds of carriers for these Co [ACL-08-66]. An origin for the two types of carriers has been proposed and is still debated. Figure 6: ρ(T) of [Bi1.74Sr2O4-d][CoO2] 1.82 and Pb2+ doped [Bi1.74Sr2O4-d][CoO2] 1..82 (top; the associated magnetoresistance (positive for the metallic doped compound BPSCO and strong and negative for the undoped one BSCO (bottom)). The paramagnetic state required for this explanation is in good agreement with the NMR results performed by J. Bobroff (LPS, Orsay) which demonstrate the existence of a paramagnetic state down to 2K in this Bi family, with an unexpected maximum of susceptibility for a Co valency close to 3.3 in BiCaCoO [ACL-07-11]. The largest MR and MTEP are indeed observed in BiCaCoO, with the largest susceptibility. The absence of magnetic ordering in misfits is different from NaxCoO2 which displays different magnetic transitions as a function of x, suggesting a crucial role of the separating layer on the electronic properties, beyond the role of doping. This is also suggested by ARPES, where the influence of the separating layers has been observed on the Fermi surface [ACL-10-30]. ARPES experiments with LPS in Orsay have also revealed the purely a1g symmetry of the Fermi surface of [BiBaCoO][CoO2]1.98 [ACL-07-16]. 29 Figure 7: S(T) for different x in CuRh1-xMgxO2 and the fit of the data using the ‘Time Independent Correlation Function’. All these experiments show that doping plays a crucial role for thermoelectric properties, but that the block layer must have an influence. Investigations of other systems with CdI2 type layers but with a different block layer are therefore very instructive. In particular, a new Rh oxide has been synthesized with RhO2 layers of the CdI2 types, interleaved with (Bi,Sr)O block layer, deriving from wurzite [ACL-07-51]. They present a good metallicity together with values of S close to 60μV/K, making them very similar to misfits with the larger doping (like BiBaCoO). Delafossites possess the same CdI2 type layers and promising thermoelectric properties have been reported for doped compounds in CuRh19 and CuCr1-xMgxO2 10 , with Cu+ in a xMgxO2 dumbbell O–Cu–O configuration. In collaboration with the team E1 (DNM), their transport properties have been reinvestigated to understand in details the effect of doping in these systems which are not metallic [ACL-0966]. DOS calculations show that small polarons should be formed with doping, in good agreement with the measured ρ(T). In the case of CuRh1-xMgxO2, the thermopower has been interpretated using the calculated DOS within the Boltzmann model. A new model approach on the ‘time independent correlation function’ and the Kubo formalism has also been developed [ACL-09-65] (Fig. 7, see ‘Projet’). Finally, hollandite type materials, with a structure deriving from the CdI2 type layers (quasi-1D structure with tunnels made of ribbons of two edge shared octahedral, Fig.8a) are now under investigation due to their metallic behavior associated to a peak of S at low T, resulting in a large power factor S2/ρ, close to the one of NaxCoO2 [ACL-0952] (Fig.8b). Figure 8: (a) Drawing of the hollandite structure oriented along the [010] direction (top); (b) S(T) and S2/ρ (T) (bottom) 1.2.2.2.2 Magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is a general property of magnetic materials (evidenced for the first time by Warburg in iron at the end of the 19th century) that is based on the existence of a magnetic-field-induced shift in the entropy-vs.-temperature curves [SB(T)]. As a consequence, any adiabatic change in the applied magnetic field produces a temperature variation [ΔTad(T,B)]. Although such a phenomenon is even found in paramagnetic materials at very low-T (used in the so-called adiabatic demagnetization technique), its size at more usual temperature is only significant around a magnetic transition. One of the reasons at the origin of the present surge of interest in this topic is the possibility of exploiting this MCE in magnetic refrigeration (MR), a technique which might replace advantageously the usual methods based on cycles of compression-evaporation (being more efficient and without harmful gases) 11 . Several prototypes have demonstrated the feasibility of this technique, owing to Gd which shows a substantial MCE at room temperature (RT). Much work has been devoted to the search for new materials presenting a higher MCE opening the route to 30 -1 -1 -ΔS (J K kg ) 25 20 15 10 5 0 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 T(K) Figure 9: Isothermal entropy change of MnV2O4 resulting from application of a magnetic field equal to 2T (■), 5T (•) or 9T(♦). About the measuring techniques, we developped a procedure devoted to the measurement of specific heat around a firstorder transition (FOT) when using a semiadiabatic relaxation technique [ACL-09-41]. This single heat-pulse method can provides us with reliable recording of both latent heat and hysteresis. As for the indirect determination of ΔST, we investigated in details the case of phase separated systems, a situation encountered in most of the best materials to date. The presence of metastable states, irreversibility and hysteresis must be carefully accounted for in such a case. While the direct application of the standard formula leads to a wide scatter in the ΔST(T) curves [see Fig. 10(a)], we derived special analyses that can yield a consistent set of results [see Fig. 10(b)]. -2 -1 -1 ΔS (J.kg .K ) 0 -4 -6 -8 (a) 0 -2 -1 -1 ΔS (J.kg .K ) industrial-scale applications. For practical reasons, these studies are almost always based on the characterization of the isothermal entropy change ΔST(T,B). In the last decade, several families of intermetallic compounds showing large ΔSmax (giant MCE) around RT have been discovered 12 . Our approach to this topic was as follows: (i) not limiting ourselves to the “race” to ΔSmax at RT in low-fields reachable with permanent magnets (domestic application), since, firstly, oxides are probably not the best materials in this case and, secondly, liquefying plants is another great potential application of MR; (ii) explore peculiar combinations of magnetic and structural features, taking advantage of the richness of the oxides (e.g. AF-to-FM transitions, collective Jahn-Teller effects, etc); (iii) have a critical insight into the metrology of the MCE quantities, on the basis of a systematic comparison between the magnetic and calorimetric methods. Some remarkable results obtained since the beginning of these studies (summer 2007) are summarized below: Regarding the materials, we observed in MnV2O4 an unusual superimposition of the MCE associated to both first-order and second-order transitions, leading to ΔSmax(5T)≈20 JK-1kg-1 at 60 K, i.e. a value comparable to that of the best intermetallics in this T-range. This result well exhibits how spin-lattice coupling can be generated in presence of orbital degrees of freedom (in the present case, V3+ in octahedral sites).[ACL-08-46]. -4 -6 -8 (b) 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 T(K) Figure 10: Isothermal entropy change of Eu0.58Sr0.42MnO3 for ΔB=5T by using various methods : (a) Maxwell equation applied to virgin magnetization curves (□) or to the field-increasing branches of M(H) loops (○), as well as the direct derivation from C(T) curves in 0 and 5T(♦); (b) corrected curves for the magnetic (◊) and calorimetric data (♦). 1.2.2.2.3 Phosphates for catalytic applications The study of mixed framework phosphates has been developped in the CRISMAT for more than 30 years. Since 2005, we have focused our research on the synthesis and the characterizations of new phosphates which could find applications in catalysis and, more precisely, in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx species by ammonia (NH3-SCR deNOx). These studies are performed in collaboration with Pr. M. Daturi, LCS-Caen (UMR 6506). Explorations of different A-M-P-O(-H) diagrams have been undertaken, A being a monovalent or divalent cation and M a trivalent element (such as Al, Ga or In) or a transition element. Different synthesis techniques have been used: hydrothermal synthesis (low temperature, low pressure), high temperature solid state synthesis (in air or in sealed tube) and, more recently hydrothermal synthesis using a microwave furnace. The structures of the ten new phosphates we could prepare were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, allowing a 31 precise knowledge of their structural features and thus offering us the opportunity to understand the structure-properties relationships for these compounds. The great structural richness of this family of compounds was confirmed, since we could obtain 2D and 3D-framework, mono and diphosphate compounds and various arrangements of the different M coordination polyhedra (from isolated polyhedra to infinite ribbons). In a first time, we aimed at the obtention of phosphates involving Al, Ga or In, because of the well-known catalytic of their oxides in SCR of NOx. Seven compounds belonging to this family have been obtained since 2006 [ACL-06-58, ACL-06-59, ACL-07-58, ACL09-39]. The catalytic activity of a series of compounds of general formula (NH4)3–xAxGa2(PO4)3 (A = Rb, Cs et 0,23 ≤ x ≤ 0,54) has been studied (using mass spectroscopy and in situ and operando FT-IR spectroscopies) and compared to those of zeolithic compounds [ACL-06-99]. The obtained results led to the conclusion that these compounds could be used as catalysts only when processing at low temperatures. We could also show that the ammonium ions located in the tunnels of the framework are able to react in the presence of an adequate quantity of NO2 and ammonia, giving significant conversion and selectivity. structure (Fig. 11a), with two different coordination polyhedra for Mn. The presence of a unique ordering of the Mn2+ and Mn3+ cations in the infinite [Mn4O16]∞ chains of its structure (Fig. 11b) and the Mn-Mn distances suggests the possibility of strong magnetic interactions. Unfortunately, it was not possible to prepare it as a single phase in order to characterize its magnetic and catalytic properties. The phosphate β-NH4Fe(II-III)2(PO4)2 (Fig. 12) presents complex structural disorder phenomena, which could be analyzed using a 5D super-space formalism. The magnetic characterizations of this mixed valence iron phosphate are in progress. Preliminary results evidence a ferrimagnetic behaviour at low temperature. Concerning the catalytic properties of this compound, in situ and operando IR spectroscopy studies show that it presents a good activity at 280°C, but a bad selectivity for N2. Further experiments are undergoing to evaluate its thioresistance and to analyze more deeply the structure-properties relationships of this compound.

Among the four new phosphates obtained [ACL-07-76, ACL-07-58, ACL-0801, ACL-09-01], two of them were in agreement with this criterion.

To achieve this project, we have developed novel approaches, both experimental and theoretical, to solid state science. Since the understanding of the properties of thin films requires a good knowledge of the physics of the bulk material, several relevant effects like disorder, size reduction (low dimensionality) are also studied in single crystals. Finally, in order to strengthen our activities within a competitive international context where the low dimensional materials and nanocharacterizations are also rapidly developed, Philippe Boullay, Ulrike Lüders and Christophe Cibert joined the lab in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. They are in charge of the development of microstructural characterizations, sample structuration by lithography and the characterization of composite multiferroic films. Recent achievements 1.2.3.1 Introduction Historically, thin film technology has been driven by aiming at reaching a perfect crystalline order. This perfect mimicking of bulk crystals was applied first to semiconductors, and more recently to oxides. Oxides fundamentally differ from semiconductors, however, because they are more sensitive to the effect of pressure [Tokura Y (ed) 1999 Colossal Magnetoresistance Oxides (London: Gordon and Breach)]. Therefore, the interplay between structure and electronic properties when substrate-induced strain is applied is very strong, yielding novel properties and even stabilizing metastable phases [D.P. Norton et al., Science 265, 1995, 2074]. In addition, the focus shifted to the development of materials that respond to external stimuli. Fabrications of such • Novel approaches to solid state science Superlattice approach: synthesis and characterizations We developed the superlattice approach, where a periodic structure constituted of at least two materials, whose sequence is repeated up to a given thickness is synthesized, to improve the thin film properties of BiFeO3the only intrinsic multiferroic material at room temperature known up to date- by designing BiFeO3/SrTiO3 superlattices[ACTI-09-27-E3]. The growth of single layer BiFeO3 thin films is indeed well mastered, but defects and small deviations from the ideal oxygen stoichiometry lead to high leakage currents, which limit the application of this material. Compared to single layer BiFeO3 thin films, the leakage current in BiFeO3/SrTiO3 superlattices was reduced by several orders of magnitude, 33 allowing to observe intrinsic polarization hysteresis [ACL-07-83-E3, ACL08-90-E3]. Furthermore, in the superlattices, the ferroelectric structure of the BiFeO3 was modified[ACL-10-33-E3]. The polarization axis switched from (111) to (001), which probably originated by the strain exerted on the BiFeO3 layers. Actually, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) study confirms that a part of the BiFeO3 layers exhibit a distorted perovskite structure compatible with its bulk form. Another example of the modification of properties of a material in superlattices has been made with the system (La,M)MnO3/BaTiO3 where M = Ca, Sr. Here, the ferromagnetic manganite was combined with a ferroelectric material. Measurement revealed a finite magnetization above the bulk Curie temperature of the manganite in both cases [ACL-10-35-E3]. This is especially interesting in the case of Ca, where the Curie temperature is enhanced from 250K in bulk to around 1000K, which has been explained by the strain state of the manganite layers due to the intergrowth with BaTiO3, and confirmed by first principle calculations made in collaboration with M.B. Lepetit. system showed interesting magnetic properties at room-temperature since it is induced by a stacking of non-magnetic materials [ACL-0964-E3]. The origin is the partial localization of the 3d electrons in the 2-dimensional doping layers. • Metastable phases stabilized using substrateinduced strain In the pseudobinary Ca-Co-O system, stable phases have been synthesized for Ca/Co ranging between 1.5 and 0.75: Ca3Co2O6 and Ca3Co4O9. First, we have stabilized calcium cobaltite thin films with a nominal ratio Ca/Co=1 using substrate-induced strains of NdGaO3 substrates. Second, we have developed a methodology using Precession Electron Diffraction (PED), to solve ab-initio the structure of nano-objects, and applied it to Ca2Co2O5 brownmillerite film [ACL09-12E3]. Dedicated programs for PED data extraction and analysis have been developed [ACL10-19-E1-E3] to facilitate a more systematic and reliable use of this technique. This experimental facility, opening the routes to the resolution of metastable phase prepared in the form of a thin film or nano-objects, is made available to the research community through the national network METSA. The microstructure of other film compositions (like BiCrO3 [ACL-10-17-E3]) has also been investigated by TEM. Figure 1: Temperature dependence of the magnetization for the Ca (green) and the Sr (red) manganite superlattice. The inset shows the hysteresis loops of the Ca superlattices at 10K and 300K. Another approach of materials science in the superlattice framework is geometrically confined doping as applied in the LaVO3/SrVO3 system. One monolayer of SrVO3 is introduced between insulating LaVO3 layers [ACL-07-90-E3, ACTI-09-29E3]. The underlying idea is to substitute some LaO subplanes by SrO subplanes in order to induce a mixed valence in the adjacent VO2 subplanes, which are isolated from each other by undoped LaVO3. Characterization of this Figure 2: The brownmillerite structure of a Ca2Co2O5 thin film solved ab-initio using PED. The obtained structural model allows a satisfactory interpretation of high resolution images. • Theoretical techniques We focused on an original approach, the slave boson technique. The formalism entails a local decomposition of electronic excitations into charge and spin components. Electron 34 creation and annihilation operators are thereby represented by composite operators which separate into canonical operators with bosonic and fermionic characters. However these operators are enslaved in the sense that their respective number operators have to fulfill a local constraint to ensure the equivalence with the original model. Treated on the mean field approach level, this has been successfully tested against numerical simulations of ground state energies and charge structure factors. We used a two-site cluster of the single impurity Anderson model, in order to exemplify our scheme. One site is strongly correlated with an infinite local Coulomb repulsion which hybridizes with the second site, on which the local Coulomb repulsion vanishes. From the investigation of this model, several benchmarks of the slave boson approach were provided: The complete summation of the world line expansion of slave boson path integrals in the Fock space has been achieved, in particular for entangled states [ACL-07-33-E3]; the comparison of the thermodynamics and correlation functions between exact and saddle point evaluations; we proved that the exact expectation value or the radial slave bosom field (<x>) is generically finite and that its existence does not violate the Elitzur theorem; a new representation of intersite Coulomb interaction in this approach [ACL-08-35-E3] was introduced. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the radial gauge representation facilitates the treatment of such a non-local interaction by performing the exact evaluation of the path integrals representing the partition function, the impurity hole density and the impurity hole density autocorrelation function for this two-site cluster. The free energy is also obtained on the same footing. For this model we compared the saddle point results of both Barnes and Kotliar and Ruckenstein (KR) representations to the exact result. While the Barnes representation gives exact results in particular limits the KR approach yields the exact free energy and spin autocorrelation function for all parameter values [ACL-08-34-E3]. Furthermore, more conventional techniques were extended and completed to provide explications on peculiar properties of materials. On the basis of the two-band Hubbard model which we solved using the exact diagonalization technique for a two-site molecule at quarter filling, we demonstrated an interrelation between the magnetic properties and the low temperature optical conductivity of 3d electron system in d1 and d7 configurations providing a way to determine both intraorbital Coulomb interaction U and Hund's exchange JH and thus an experimental access to these values. Another approach, principally used for the description of the thermoelectric properties of a material, is based on density-functional theory and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculations were performed using the scalar-relativistic implementation of the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method [ACL-09-65-E1] employing a new full-potential version of the ASW method. In this version, the electron density and related quantities are given by spherical-harmonics expansions inside the muffin-tin spheres. In the remaining interstitial region, a representation in terms of atomcentered Hankel functions is used. The ASW code has been recently extended to the computation of the thermopower even for materials with a complex structure. 1.2.3.2 Growth and Physics of Strongly Correlated Systems and Functional Materials • Stripes Stripe phases are one of the most exciting phenomenons of modern condensed matter physics. They have been observed in a variety of systems, including nickelates and cuprates. Among them, layered La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) and La2-xSrxNiO4 (LSNO) compounds play plausibly the most prominent role. However the similarity between them is superficial only, and the stripes in the cuprates differ from the stripes in the nickelates in many respects. For instance, in Nd-LSCO one finds the so-called vertical half-filled stripes, with the density of one doped hole per two atoms along the domain wall, for x>1/16. In contrast, insulating diagonal filled stripes with density of one doped hole per one atom in a domain wall have been evidenced in the doped NiO2 planes of LSNO. Charge patterns and modulated superconductivity have been seen in Ca2(Na-CCOC) in the xNaxCuO2Cl2 superconducting phase as well. We addressed these problems from the theoretical side. While the puzzle posed by the insulating behavior of LSNO has been studied using a 35 variety of approaches [ACL-06-91-E3, ACL08-102-E3, ACL-09-105-E3] it demanded to resort to a hybrid functional to obtain an insulating ground state [ACL-09-106-E3]. Yet, our theoretical investigations have been mostly focused on cuprates, as described either by the t-t'-U Hubbard model or by the t-J model. We first used a rotationally invariant version of the slave-boson approach in spin space to analyze the stability of stripe phases with large unit cells in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. This approach gives results representative of the thermodynamic limit. Thereby we resolved the longstanding controversy concerning the role played by the kinetic energy in stripe phases. While the transverse hopping across the domain walls yields the largest kinetic energy gain in the case of the insulating stripes with one hole per site, the holes propagating along the domain walls stabilize the metallic vertical stripes with one hole per two sites, as observed experimentally [ACL-06-90-E3]. We also showed that a finite next-nearest neighbor hopping t' can tip the energy balance between the filled diagonal and half-filled vertical stripes, which might explain a change in the spatial orientation of stripes observed in the high TC cuprates at the doping =1/16. In addition, we later on established the qualitative behavior of the incommensurability and optimal domain wall filling υ for increasing doping by a systematic slave-boson study of an array of vertical stripes separated by up to d = 11 lattice constants. Our findings agree qualitatively with the experimental data for the cuprates in the doping regime x =1/8. As t' modifies υ and thus triggers the crossover to the diagonal spiral phase at increasing doping, stabilized already at x =0.09 for t' = -0.3t [ACL-06-88-E3]. Regarding the superconducting phase and motivated by the observation of patterns of unidirectional domains in high-Tc superconductors, we investigated the emergence of spontaneous modulations in the d-wave superconducting resonating valence bond phase using the t-J model at x=1/8 doping. Half-filled charge domains separated by four lattice spacings were found to form along one of the crystal axis leading to modulated superconductivity with out-of-phase d-wave order parameters in neighboring domains [ACL-07-81-E3]. We found that the Cooper pairs are carrying finite momentum in the ground state, as shown in Fig. 3. Besides, modulated superconducting, flux, and magnetic phases are very close in energy [ACL-07-825-E3]. This suggests that large fluctuations are present in this model, thereby calling for further studies. Figure 3: Real part of the SC order parameter Δsck (Q) in: (a) dwave RVB phase with Q = (0,0) as well as in the bond-centered π -DRVB phase with (b) Q = (π/4,0) and (c) Q = (3π/4,0) (scaled resp. by factors 4.5 and 8 for clarity). . The influence of stripes on transport properties has been also experimentally studied. Stripes break electronic isotropy, and direct consequences on the macrosocopic transport properties are expected but have been rarely reported. Disorder effects are thought to be the cause of such averaging of the electronic anisotropy at a macroscopic scale. In analogy with charges density waves, stripes are expected to be pinned by the sample disordered, and depinned by a large enough current, giving possibly non linear transport properties but it is then difficult to disentangle the heating problem. Another technique to prove the so-called electronic nematicity of the stripes state without using a too large current is the measure of the symmetry of charges fluctuations. In a crystal of nickelate known as a model system for the stripes scenario (La2NiO4.14), we observe large anomalous resistance fluctuations of very slow kinetics, and also anticorrelation proving the existence of a 1D, local electronic order [ACL-07-73E3]. • Ferro/piezoelectric films During the last fifteen years, the team was focused on in situ growth and characterization of Pb(Zrx,Ti1-x)O3 (PZT) thin films deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. Our work results in technological transfer for RF applications with NXP Semiconductor (former Philips Semiconductors). PZT capacitors also suffer from a progressive loss of polarization under application of a long standing repetitive voltage (“fatigue”) and from a degradation of ferroelectric properties when the thickness is 36 decreased (“size effect”). The origin of these failures is enigmatic despite the considerable amount of works devoted for many decades. We recently found that “fatigue” and “size effect” present very similar characteristics allowing drawing up a direct correlation between these two phenomena [ACL-09-13E3]. Namely, the interface depolarization field (Edep) resulting from interface chemistry was found to be the common denominator, the fatigue phenomena being manifestation of strengthen of Edep in the course of time. Change in dielectric permittivity, in remnant and coercive values of the polarization as well as in the shape of hysteresis loops are mediated by competition between degradation of dielectric properties of the interfaces and possible accumulation of interface space charge. We have concluded that the presence in the band gap of trap energy levels with large time constant due to defects in non ferroelectric regions at the interfaces ultimately governs the aging process [ACL-09-85-E3]. In addition to these studies, keeping a clear link with industrial partners, we have promoted the emergence of new technologies by taking advantage of the properties of materials other than PZT, or by combining these properties with those of PZT. For instance, microelectromechanical systems based on the piezoelectric properties of material like aluminum nitride (AlN) offer the opportunity to design low cost miniaturized devices. We thus pursue our close collaboration with NXP Semiconductor Company who planed to develop thin film acoustic resonators for the design of silicon integrated highly selective RF filters. • Superconductivity - YBa2Cu3O7 films As the prospect of the implementation of so-called 2G-coated conductors, that are YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) films deposited on nickel foils, increases, this aspect is important from the viewpoint of the optimization of superconducting cables for power transportation and of other electro-technical devices, for instance fault current limiters. The properties of YBCO films deposited on single crystal substrates and recently, of 2G-coated conductors fabricated by various manufacturers were investigated. The electrical characterization of the samples has led us to develop a model claiming that, in self field, the current transport is governed by the motion of vortices in the twin and low angle grain boundaries of the YBCO films and by the behavior of the Josephson weak links existing in these boundaries planes. This model has reproduced the currents at the transition to the normal state of YBCO films measured by F.Vidal et al.[ACL-07-10-E3], and predicts the existence of Josephson effects that we have experimentally verified, in the vicinity of the critical temperature [ACL-08-13-E3]. - Vortex physics The study of vortex lattice pinning and dynamics is a fundamental subject (the study of elastic systems in disordered media) with very practical issues (the control of critical current and of the transport properties of superconductors). Our experimental studies in the laboratory address the two aspects and are based on the control of non linear transport measurements, linear ac response and noise measurements. The latters were the main focuses of our studies in the last years. A flowing vortex lattice explores its pinning potential and experiments velocity fluctuations responsible for the voltage noise, giving a sensitive and unique probe for localizing the pinning sources. This noise has been experimentally investigated in niobium slabs and films, with surface disorder which was artificially tuned, and the relevant sources and mechanisms for the noise generation and control have been described in these systems [ACL-06-104-E3-E4]. In addition, the critical current has been explained without free parameter in the framework of surface vortex pinning, a result which is not incidental and would allow the possibility to control the amount of non dissipative current in a superconductor. Atypical statistical effects recalling the Levy flights have been also generated in small size systems [ACL-06-104E3-E4]. The strong temporal coherence of the moving vortex lattice has been proved by the measure of narrow band noise controlled by the width of samples, emphasizing the overestimated role of the bulk disorder over vortex interaction for the physics of vortex dynamics [ACL-09-80-E3]. 37 • The prototype of strongly correlated systems: V2O3 films Despite the extensive studies on polycrystalline powder and single crystal V2O3, a prototypical strongly correlated electron system, there have been few reports on thin film sample. We thus have grown high quality epitaxial V2O3 thin films on sapphire substrates (0001-Al2O3) and studied in detail their characteristics using a large amount of characterization tools. The thicknessdependence of the electronic properties shows I 400 t=23 nm V ρ(μΩ.cm) We also used the technique of Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), eventually applying a transport current in the sample surrounded by superfluid helium, to study the role of the vortex lattice structure and/or of the current distribution for superconducting transport properties. In superconductors, a spectacular increase in the critical current at some magnetic field value is known as the peak effect and is usually attributed to a disordering transition of the vortex lattice (either a disordering cross over or a genuine thermodynamic first order transition into a liquid phase). Using large size crystals of Bi2212 [ACL-07-74-E3-E4] and NbSe2 [ACL09-79-E3], we have shown that the vortices keep quantitative characteristics of a regular lattice (see Fig. 4), even far inside the peak effect, in contrast with different reports where no scattered intensity was detected. The observation of off-centering Bragg components after a field cooling in NbSe2 and the study of their metastability indicate that the high current state is likely due to a peculiar distribution of superficial current. d=4 mm 300 200 0 100 T(K) 200 M2 M1 M1 M2 3 substrate d=10 μm 300 4 R/R300K Figure 4: 2D picture of the neutron scattering from the flux lines lattice in NbSe2 (1,8K, 0.4T). the suppression of the bulk metal-to-insulator transition leading to a metal-like behavior in all the temperature range. At low temperature, the dependence of the resistivity as a function of T2 was measured to be that of a strongly correlated metal, and was confirmed by temperature-dependence of the Hall resistance [ACL-07-39-E3]. Theoretical calculations were made in collaboration with the University of Augsburg, to analyze the electronic structure of V2O3 in the vicinity of an interface to Al2O3 using density functional theory and the augmented spherical wave method. The focus of the study was on the possible modifications of the vanadium oxide electronic states induced by the presence of the aluminate layers. At intermediate temperatures, the temperature dependence of the resistivity of films of different thickness systematically shows non monotonic temperature dependence over a large temperature range and thermal hysteresis, as often observed in thin films samples. Electronic phase separation was demonstrated using microbridges as a mesoscopic probe of transport properties. This phase coexistence scenario was used to explain the experimental macroscopic transport properties as function of film thickness in correlation with the structural data [ACL-0843-E3]. 2 1 0 0 100 T (K) 200 300 Figure 5: Macroscopic and “mesoscopic” transport properties of a 23 nm V2O3 thick film showing the electronic heterogeneities. The thermal hysteresis of the electronic transport properties was studied by the partial cycles technique. The temporal evolution of the resistance shows the out-of-equilibrium nature of this hysteresis. The asymmetric temperature spreading of phase coexistence is 38 demonstrated to be consistent with the bulk phase diagram in the pressure-temperature plane [ACL-08-42-E3]. Galvanomagnetic properties of a purely metallic V2O3 microbridge have been studied in detail. Anomalies at low temperature were specially investigated where Hall resistance is abnormal and magnetoresistance scaling shows departure from the Kohler plot. Resistance noise measurement was discriminating to show that conductivity fluctuations are sensitive to magnetic field and are freezing out at low temperature, leading to the conclusion that spins-configuration fluctuations dominate in the low temperature regime and may drive the transport properties [ACL-09-38-E3]. 39 1.2.4 Functionnal and Thermostructural Materials (FTM, E4) Team members: C.

The main objective is to optimize both the compound and the formability of the materials in order to ensure the reliability of the industrial parts and components. All kinds of materials are concerned with this field research: ceramics, metallic alloys (ferrous and nonferrous), polymer and composite materials, but also fibbers, foams and smart materials. This axis includes researcher teams of the CRISMAT laboratory concerned with sensitive industrial collaborations. Some of them belong to the speciality group dealing with ceramics, metals, and composites properties. Others are members of the Joint Research Laboratory in Microelectronics and in Physics of Semiconductors (LaMIPS). The main objective of the latter team is to develop innovative methods of characterization and analysis of microelectronic complex systems. Scientific works in this axis are based on five main thematics described in the following text. 1.2.4.1 Functional Ceramics Progress in technology is closely related to the development of new functional materials. Advancing competence in the preparation and characterisation of new functional materials is therefore a strategy of our group. Frequently, new functional materials either are not available on a commercial basis, or their availability, specifications, and prices are not compatible with the demands of specific advanced technologies and products. Requirements for completing the development of new materials are the ability to transfer material requirements into preparation procedures, to test the samples on site, and to develop the functional materials into products available in the required shapes, in collaboration with industrial partners. This strategy serves as a guideline for our projects in materials research, which may be divided into the areas of development, characterisation, and processing. In particular, the group carries out researches on functional oxide ceramics with the aim to engineer the electronic, dielectric, magnetic and/or thermal properties of solids through the development of innovative processes. Our activities mainly focus on the formulation and forming of ceramic materials for electronics and energy saving. Various materials are investigated such as thermoelectric, dielectric, temperature sensors and superconducting materials in the frame of academic and/or industrial contracts. Thermoelectrics The studies on thermoelectricity covered by CRISMAT researchers are focalized on the fundamental aspects of the thermoelectricity, mainly in oxide systems, but also on the preparation of these materials and their integration in practical applications. While chemists and physicists are looking to new crystal structures and to their thermoelectric properties, most of our concerns in FTM group 40 deal with formulation, their processing in bulk oxide ceramics and integration in thermoelectric modules. Both p and n-type materials1-5 are currently studied. n-type oxides Metallic conductivity and promising thermoelectric performances have been evidenced in metal doped In2O3 bulk ceramics [ACL-08-10, ACL-08-11, ACL-09-40], [BRE09-02]. A drastic modification of the transport properties appears for very narrow range of substitution, since the maximum doping level x for the solid solution ranges from 0.01 to 0.1 (x in In2-xMxO3), depending on the nature of the doping element. Although the dopant solubility limit is very small, the electrical resistivity is strongly decreased by the doping, leading to high power factors, close to 1 mW m-1K-2 around 1000 K, and ZT of 0.3 (Fig. 1). Today, one of the concerns in developing these indium based oxides, especially doped In2O3, for thermoelectric applications, is the scarcity of indium and consequently its rather high cost. Several poor In content based compounds have been already synthesized and shown to be efficient thermoelectric oxides. In the fringe of In2O3 compounds, other manganites compounds have been studied [ACL-10-24], especially aiming at designing oxide thermoelectric modules. Two compounds have been investigated, namely [Ca2CoO3][CoO2]1.62 and [Bi2Ca2O4][CoO2]1.69. In collaboration with the university of Zaragoza, laser floating zone technique has been developed to crystallize and to texture ceramic bars of [Bi2Ca2O4][CoO2]1.69 phase [ACL-10-39, ACTI-09-14]. The versatile Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) recently set-up in the lab, has been also developed to streamline the grain alignment in the Ca3Co4O9 ceramics. This material shows particular attractive properties despite yet low ZT: chemical and thermal stability, good resistance towards oxidation and no toxicity. Along with the determination of their electric and thermal properties (Fig.2), mechanical characteristics were implemented and correlated to the elaboration process with a view to evaluate the reliability of the devices [ACL-10-23]. 350 5 300 σ (MPa) 4 R 250 3 200 150 K (MPa.m1/2) 2 IC 100 1 50 0 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 0 120 Pression σ SPS (MPa) Figure 2: Spark plasma sintering of Ca3Co4O9 materials.

Note the break in the x-coordinate [ACL-09-40]. p-type oxides Concerning p-type materials, efforts were mainly focused on the process, texturation and properties optimization of misfit cobaltites. Thermoelectric devices have been developed during the last four years, supported by different industrial projects. In a first approach only oxide based modules were designed, in order to address high temperature thermoelectric generators (Fig.3a) [ACL-0862, ACL-08-82]. Next we developed medium temperature devices using intermetallic compounds, mainly for heat recovery in automotive application, in close partnership with industrial companies (Fig.3b). In addition, we address the study of non-homogeneous thermoelectric materials using the linear 41 response approach of out equilibrium processes. From this we now consider not only the optimization of the material but also the thermodynamics working conditions that finally defined the real efficiencies of the materials under thermal and electrical biasing [ACL-09-35]. The development of new devices, for heat pumping, heat recovering or heat sensor is now driven in close connexion with the real working conditions of the materials. a b Figure 3: (a) Ca3Co4O9 “unileg” module, (b) Bi2Te3 module [BRE-09-03, BRE-09-04] permittivity temperature coefficient [ACL-0720, ACL-09-19]. NTC-type sensors Ceramic materials showing thermistor type behaviour have being used for 15 years in many applications related to the thermal control or fire detection (thermal sensors) 6. In this context, perovskite type and spinel like materials have been investigated in cooperation with THERMOCOAX company. Appropriate materials with NTC-type temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity have been delivered [ACL-07-100, ACTI-07-40]. Another cooperative research has been carried out with CMR company to improve the understanding of the ageing process under temperature cycles of these NTC-type sensors. Superconductors Dielectrics The key point in multilayer ceramics capacitors and low temperature co-fired ceramics (respectively named MLCC-LTCC) manufacturing is the compatibility between the dielectric ceramic and the electrodes during the sintering process. Until the 1990s, the MLCC were manufactured with very expensive inner electrodes using noble metals like Pt, Pd... Nevertheless, the cost lowering of such components becomes necesary to be able to compete in this very high competitive field. The most promising way for that is to substitute noble metals by more basic ones like silver or copper. This substitution obviously imposes to lower the sintering temperature of the ceramic beneath the silver or copper melting points, respectively, 961 °C and 1084 °C. In this context, the effects of sintering aids, forming atmospheres, on the stability, the sintering behaviour and the dielectric properties of different compounds have been investigated. Using glass particles additions, the sintering temperature of ZnNb2O6, Zn3Nb2O8, BaNb2O6, Ba5Nb4O15 niobates were decreased from 1200 °C to 900 °C, while keeping good dielectric properties, and allowing the possibility to substitute noble metals by copper or silver in MLCC components [ACL-07-27]. Other formulations were also investigated like BaZn1/3Nb2/3O3, ZnTiO3/TiO2 with the aim to decrease the sintering temperature and controlling the During these last four years, an optimization of the superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7-δ compounds, and particularly under magnetic field, was carried out. Doping, oxygen annealing and process were especially studied. A significant increase of the critical current density up to 100kA/cm2 under 0.2 T and more than 60kA/cm2 under 1T has been obtained through an accurate co-doping with cerium oxide and lithium carbonate. In addition, profitable collaborations with the technical university of Budapest have enabled us to characterize bulk samples under strong magnetic fields. Also, texturation of drilled or infiltrated specimens was more largely studied and optimized with a purpose of microstructural homogeneization. An accurate control of the process parameters (precursors, seeds, crystallization...) led to a very good control of the microstructure [ACL-07-65]. In particular, the problems of “growth sectors” bringing important heterogeneities in the microstructures could be avoided. The infiltration technique was used to texture drilled discs in order to combine beneficial effects of densification and oxygenation [ACL06-72, ACL-07-66]. 42 1.2.4.2 Damage processes materials and in forming metallic The prediction of defects arising in metallic alloy forming processes and the evaluation of the straining effects in manufactured products are the main objectives of the theoretical and applied research in this thematic. Due to obvious economic impact, these investigations are supported by companies. Among the microstructural rearrangements induced by plastic straining during the forming processes, nucleation and growth of voids and cracks are perhaps the most important7. This leads to unsatisfactory limitations in working operations or unacceptable products. Moreover, an important challenge in this area concerns the soundness of the material undergoing forming operations. For instance, the absence of apparent cracks on the surfaces of the products does not exclude an advanced state of damage within the material volume. Since the internal microstructure of the material is consequently strongly affected by this kind of damage, the mechanical and physical properties of the alloys are also deeply modified. This scientific thematic covers a large area of studies, most of them supported by industrial collaborations. We can cite for example the formability of copper clad aluminium thin wires (with ACOME), the damage and fracture of Inconel 601 alloys used in the elaboration of CTN sensors (with VALEO), the interfacial damage and fracture of bainitic steels (ARCELOR) or the mechanical behaviour of nitrogen-implanted aluminium alloys (QUERTECH Ing.). More details are given in the following. Forming behaviour and size effects The industrial need of micro metal parts has considerably increased these last years due to the trend of miniaturization of medical, electrical or mechanical devices8. However, the forming process of thin samples is a difficult task due to the low values of thicknesses and / or the low number of grains (diameter d) across the thickness (t). Our works in this area are concerned by the study of the t/d ratio effect on the overall mechanical properties, their correlations with the modifications of the microstructure (grain size distribution, crystallographic texture) and the modifications of the various strengthening mechanisms. Materials studied are Ni and Ni-20wt.%Cr (with general applications concerning the use of microactuators in automotive industry) , Al and Cu (with applications in electronic components forming). When the t/d ratio decreases, the reduction of the stress level between thicker and thinner samples always stands around 30%. Moreover, this result is verified whatever the strain level and material are. Using the Kocks-Mecking strengthening formalism, these results can be satisfactorily explained by the corresponding evolution of the microstructural parameters governing the dislocation glide. Statistical and quantitative investigations of the dislocation structures were achieved by TEM as a function of strain for core and surface regions. A surface effect systematically appears with a decrease of the intragranular internal stress near the free surface [ACL-09-51]. This decrease is due to the reduction of the interactions between mobile dislocations and those stored in the cell dislocations due to an increase of the mean cell diameter (Fig. 4). Figure 4: Dislocation structures for a Nickel sample with t/d = 2.5, 250 µm below the free surface (left) and 50 µm below the free surface (right) [ACL-10-22] The forming behaviour of nickel sheets can therefore be investigated as a function of the number of grains across the thickness by finite element simulations. Surface effects can be taken into account for the deep drawing simulation of samples by the use of constitutive elasto-plastic laws for surface and core grains (international collaboration with the university of Liege Belgium , the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and the University of Galati Romania, [ACTI-10-03]). Damage estimation and optimisation of the thermomechanical processes This topic concerns the evaluation of the damage occurring in metallic alloys in the course of their thermomechanical history. Our 43 works mainly focused on Nodular Cast Irons (industrial support MPSA) and Dual Phase steels (industrial support Faurecia). Nodular Cast Irons (NCI) are widely used in the automotive industry because of the relative low cost fabrication of products with complicated shapes. These materials exhibit good mechanical properties, especially for the use in cyclically loaded components9. Some of automotive pieces, like manifolds, must be dimensionally stable at high temperature, typically around 800 °C. These structural components exhibit relatively low and constant elastic stresses, which can produce their creep straining, their damage, and occasionally their fracture. Ferritic SiMo based NCI are currently used with various alloy elements for the conception of manifolds. These alloys give a good compromise between economical considerations, mechanical properties and high temperature corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, for the higher levels of exhaust gas temperature, austenitic Ni-rich NCI are often preferred in order to enhance the mechanical properties and prevent decarburation as well as phase transformation. The main goal of this work concerns the creep behaviour of NCI submitted to weak elastic stresses for temperatures ranging between 650 °C and 900 °C. The mechanisms of creep damage and fracture were analyzed using microstructural observations and quantitative measurements of the primary graphite dimensions (Fig.5). Damage evolution in NCI under creep solicitations was evaluated thanks to an adequate damage parameter linking the strain rate at a given time to the minimum strain rate [ACL-09-47]. Figure 5: Microstructure of ferritic NCI fractured by creep. (trupt = 995.6h, 800 °C, σ/σecor = 0.34). Arrows indicate creep stress direction [ACL-09-47]. Similarly, another field of interest concerns the initiation and growth of damage in dual phase steel by means of microstructural quantification of voids generated at the interfaces between ferritic grains and martensitic islands. The influence of stress triaxiality and strain rate on the behaviour of these structural steel families is also taken into account for predicting their limit of formability. All these works give tools for the numerical modelling of various forming processes, and the predictability of damage and fracture of mechanical components. In particular, modelling of the blanking process remains a very difficult problem, taking into account the large strains, friction, ductile fracture and damage. Numerical analysis are carried out in this area in collaboration with the Roberval laboratory (Université de Technologie de Compiègne) and the Université Laval, Quebec. 1.2.4.3 Structural Composites materials - Like other research areas, nowadays materials science must take environmental, economic and social sides into account when developing new materials. Three main research axes in this field were explored these last years by our team: Production energy cost For instance concerning clay-based domestic ceramics, the requirements for energy costs reduction call for intensive investigations on the selection of raw materials, the formulation of the pastes and the firing conditions [ACTI-07-39, ACL-09-49]. Environmental impact Works devoted to Diesel engines in which the activated particulate filter is designed to reduce significantly the amount of emitted particles issued from gas combustion. The sooting of the filter is avoided by rising the inner temperature of the exhaust pipe at regular time intervals. That regeneration process may induce damages which result in a lack of filtration. Reduction of Energy consumption Regarding materials aimed at structural applications, the enhancement of energy requires substantial lightening. Operating conditions can be obtained by mastering organic matrix composites. One axis concerns the identification of the key parameters (optima heating cycle and pressure) 44 and evaluation of the stamping process for producing structural parts made of high performance carbon/thermoplastic composites. One of our projects is aimed at demonstrating the availability of resin transfer moulding for the fabrication of complex shape aeronautic parts. For structural applications at much lower stress levels, vegetable fibres can be substituted for glass and carbon fibres. Reinforcement of resin polymers by flax fibres is actually a joint research topic for a number of public centres: LOMC of Le Havre University, IFRMP of Rouen University and L2PIC of South Britain University [ACL-08-18, ACL-09-21]. 1.2.4.4 Physical, thermomechanical and electrical analyses of microelectronic and microoptic devices The very large development of home and domestic electronic appliances as well as portable device, requiring extremely small dimensions has led the microelectronics industry to evolve towards the development of SoCs (system on chip) or more recently the integration of devices that were laying outside the chips in the package, that is SiP (system in package). Thus NXP Semiconductors developed their silicon-based system-inpackage technology10. This new technology uses back-end silicon processing to integrate passives onto a silicon substrate that can serve as a platform for the heterogeneous integration with active component dies, MEMS dies, etc. The four critical elements of this technology are passive integration, advanced packaging, new IC design development tools, and innovative testing. A consequence of this higher level of integration is the emergence of complex systems associated to complex packages which induced in the failure analysis laboratories new challenges that our team could take up, thanks to the variety of the background of involved academic people (microelectronic and physical-chemistry of solids) . Indeed, the main activity of the group has covered a large domain including the development of analysis techniques, algorithm and analytical modelling, the whole of it applied to the study of the materials of microelectronic complex systems. Micro- and nanostructural characterization techniques have been successfully associated to the willingness of understanding the physics of the involved interactions. Indeed, electrical modes of AFM have become quite commonly used in failure analysis flow. It allows characterization of doping profile. Controlling it is one of the key point of Integrated Circuit productions. The specificity of the complex systems developed at NXP Semiconductors Caen is the integration in the silicon substrate of passive components (Resistors, 3D capacitors) based on highly doped silicon and polysilicon in precisely located areas. Besides the microstructure and AFM electrical characterization [ACL-07-35] fundamental questions have to be answered such as the relationship between potential, doping centres and free carriers to specify the validity of experimental results. Analytical resolution of Poisson Boltzmann equation revealed itself to be valid and rather easy to apply to the physical characterization of the studied components [ACL-09-75]. Several papers present these results. One of them establishes the limitations of the Scanning Capacitance Microscopy, nowadays frequently used in semiconducting industry [ACL-07-63]. Recent work focuses on the interactions between the probe and the sample in the Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy mode, trying to identify and evaluate the influence of each experimental parameter. Because of the growing complexity of the semiconducting systems, which include at least two Integrated Circuit crystals in one package, non-destructive characterization techniques appear an essential tool. Indeed, it is crucial to localize the defective part of the system (which Integrated Circuit crystal, which interconnexions between the crystals…) without destroying the signature of the defects. Work has focused on the development and improvement of non-destructive analysis techniques (acoustic microscopy and Fast Fourier Transform Infrared microscopy). Based on effective medium theory, FTIR measurements have been successfully analyzed to precisely measure the depth of the high aspect ratio (1:30) 3D structures of the integrated capacitors [ACTI-07-33]. Also, a semi-empirical treatment of the acoustic responses of complex systems has been developed which allowed localizing defective interfaces deep inside packages. 45 Development of complex systems requires the structural characterization at micro- and nanometric scale of the numerous and various involved interfaces. Thus, Transmission Electron Microscopy, coupled to Focused Ion Beam for its TEM lamella preparation capabilities is an essential tool. The role of Zn or Pd based activators in the electroless deposition of Ni could be identified. Another study concerns the electroplating copper deposition. Structural characterization (grain orientation and size) established the strong influence of the underlayer on the quality copper films [ACTI-07-34]. Defect localization in 45-nm CMOS process is a real challenge. Thus, a new approach for the analysis of Thermal Laser Stimulated signals has been developed. Based on the modelisation of warming and cooling process during laser stimulation, it was shown that the modulation of the laser signal would allow to deferentiate between a true defect and an artifact signature. This methodology was confirmed by FIB-TEM structural characterization of copper lines (70nm wide) showing voids due to electromigration phenomena [ACL-08-96] (Fig.6). Figure 6: FIB/SEM cross section at the “current input side” of the studied Electromigration structure. FIB can be considered as a microsurgery tool, most often applied in semiconducting failure analysis flow due to its capability to prepare very precisely located TEM lamella and crosssection. New applications to other type of materials were developed. Creating localized and regular surface defects in a superconducting material, new insights could be brought on the fluctuations of the moving vortex lattice. Another exotic application of FIB was used to the study of flax fibbers. Based on the interaction of the ion beam with the different flax fibber constituents, irradiation experiments were performed and allowed imaging of the softer and/or oriented crystalline materials in the fibber (Fig.7) [ACL-10-18]. Figure 7: Schematic view of FIB experiments and resulting top and tilted view FIB images. Note the relaxed morphology of the elementary fiber compared to those of the bundle, which fit into each other. Polymer-based micro-optical components One current trend in micro-optics and microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS / MOEMS) is to develop micro-devices based on polymer substrates. This offers flexibility and also a high potential for cost effective production. Innovative micro-optical components use thin films of metal deposited on micro-structured polymer substrates to produce mirrors, waveguides and other optical elements11,12. Typical thickness of metal film is around 400 nm, with grain sizes of a few tens of nanometres to achieve optical quality. Moreover, optical refractive index of some polymers can be easily changed by exposure to UV light, allowing to provide optical functionalities to the materials. This technique is for example used for inscribing Bragg gratings in polymer fibres13. However, the thermo-mechanical reliability and the long term behaviour in relevant environmental conditions of such devices remain largely unexplored. We investigate different aspects of this subject, including: • the characterization of the effects of UVirradiation on PolyMethylMethAcrylate (PMMA). We concluded that the mechanical properties of PMMA are affected by UV light. The ductility disappears and the strength and Young’s modulus decrease, which is related to the chemical degradation of the materials, as well as the occurrence of surface damage. Moreover, the exposure of these materials to temperature and humidity results in a physical ageing of PMMA, linked to a drastic decrease of its properties [ACL-10-20]. 46 • the thermo-mechanical and optical response of Bragg-grating enhanced silica microstructured optical fibre sensors. The fibre sensors, which exploit the unique features of micro-structured fibres to allow temperature compensated strain and pressure sensing, might be embedded in different materials including composites, polymers and metals with the intention to fabricate smart materials and structures with applications in aeronautics, the medical field and oil & gas exploration, and structural health monitoring. We focused on the optimisation of the interface between the fibres and the monitored material, for both allowing a good transfer of the material stresses to the fibre, and preserving the integrity of the material in terms of their mechanical properties. 1.2.4.5 RF communication systems The concept of interactive mobile object tends to become universal, including the automotive, television and computer. During the last decade, the radiocommunication needs for high integration, miniaturization, and high operating frequencies and increased performances, has caused the emergence of complex systems integrating several functions on a single silicon chip (SOC), but also the integration of several chips of different technologies into a single package (SIP) has emerged in the field of semiconductors. Moreover, the constant increasing data rates in wireless applications greatly impact the architecture and design of transmitters / receivers today. The activities of this theme cover two areas: characterization and modelling of integrated RF and microwave components; architecture of communication systems. Characterization and modelling of integrated RF and microwave components a) Study of test structures of components and development of a suitable methodology for testing RF and microwave characterization of advanced microelectronic components and integrated systems The different methods of removing parasitic elements from on-wafer microwave measurements allow extracting intrinsic parameters of device under test. However, the efficiencies of these methods are related to the quality of the test structures used for the characterization of components strictly. In this study, we focus on the impact of different test structures on the results of microwave characterization of on-wafer components [COM-06-01]. b) Extraction of inductive coupling: prediction and inductive parasitic elements extracted in the design of RF integrated circuits A scalable EM-based segmentation methodology has been successfully applied to transformers in BiCMOS technology and coupled octagonal and 8-shaped inductor in PICS technology. Correlations with experimental results demonstrate satisfactory agreement for all tested structures. Influence of partitioning strategies on simulation results have been investigated yielding guidelines for proper settings of ground return paths when incorporating EM internal ports. The proposed methodology renders possible incorporation of EMI related constraints at component level not possible with classical schematic-oriented approaches where radiation type effects are not easy to capture [COM-09-14]. 0 -5 S 11 an d S 21 (i n d B) • the thermal and mechanical fatigue behaviour of thin metal films (gold and aluminium) deposited on plastic substrates (PMMA and polycarbonate), as well as the state of macroscopic and microscopic stress that exist within the thin film after its deposition on the polymer substrate, and the evolution of these stresses during reversed in situ testing [ACL-09-29, COM-10-03].

A new analytical technique has been carried out using power wave formalism. After necessary transformations, a simple linear system solution leads to the four noise parameters (also in terms of power waves). A simple transformation gives the conventional noise parameters. This technique is now ready for use and in the state of the art in terms of accuracy. The noise characterization of multiports has already succeeded in measuring the 16 noise parameters of a passive four-port and in comparing them to the theoretical values calculated from the S-parameters. This method should be used for any linear multiport as far as it remains stable (even if it is potentially unstable). The final use is the noise characterization of symmetrical differential structures. The same approach as the one used for inductors has been used for the noise heterojunction bipolar transistor modeling. It consists of defining an equivalent scheme directly inspired by the measurement results and containing only the significant elements that are reachable from the measurement. The final step would be the definition of a model whose elements could be calculated from the S-parameters and only a noise power measurement under 50 Ω (this method is well known as F50 method for field effect transistors). Several topologies have already been tried. of a Bulk Acoustic Wave solidly mounted resonator. In order to control the frequency (the initial specification for the accuracy is ±10 ppm after an initial tuning, and reduced to ±0.1 ppm with a frequency control loop). This result is obtained with a preliminary tuning of the oscillator and with the application of Kalman filtering technique [ACTI-09-21]. Figure 9: Photograph of the complete chip design and Phase noise measured at 500MHz after division by four. The phase noise at 500 MHz is -114dBc/Hz at 10 kHz from the carrier for a specification at -109 dBc /Hz. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Architecture and design of transceiver for radio communication systems: generation of high frequency reference signals This work started in 2007 with NXP semiconductors France on various subjects around transceiver architecture, specification and design. The subject, also in relation with transceiver architecture, is focused on the problematic of high frequency reference signals: generation and impact on architecture. The study is focused on the realization of a reference oscillator at 2 GHz based on the use 10 11 12 13 G.D. Mahan, B.C. Sales, J. Sharp, Phys. Today 50 , 42 (1997). B.T. Cong, T. Tsuji, P.X.

In order to find clues to the problems coming from the energy materials or the materials for the information technologies, the solid-state science and technology are playing a growing role. The bedrock of the laboratory is made of Solid-State Chemistry and more particularly the oxides chemistry. This materials class has application in microelectronics (dielectrics, ferroelectric RAM, CMOS technologies…) and energy technologies (electrodes, TCOs, SOFCs, superconductors, thermoelectrics…). Designing and discovering new functional materials require to consider the structureproperty relationships which by essence are interdisciplinary. At CRISMAT, for now about 25 years, the mixture of solid-state Chemists and Physicists, rather unique, is the main force of the laboratory. In order to reach the application requirements, engineering has been progressively integrated to our activity. The presence of a common laboratory with companies, the ability to coordinate technological programs on the integration of thermoelectric devices in automobile or trucks, provide examples that outline our capabilities to go from the fundamental to more applied researches. Furthermore, the novel compounds synthesized by the solid-state Chemists are challenging for the condensed matter Physicists. This is emphasized by the multifunctional transition metal oxides belonging to the family of the strongly correlated systems. This major impact of solid-state chemistry on physics explains why CRISMAT Researchers are involved in several networks (such as the CNRS GDRs) which are the place where the crossdisciplinary approach can be nucleated. Designing and preparing new materials is based on new techniques to synthesize bulk (polycrystals or crystals) and thin-films. To establish the structure – property relationships, structural characterization tools are required to study the materials with a multi-scale approach implying transmission electron microscopy, Xray (including synchrotron) and neutron diffractions techniques. In-situ experiments under different atmospheres, temperature are usually required. Thus, the presence of Crystallographers is essential to establish the structures of the new materials. Next, the exchanges between Chemists and Physicists (Experimentalists and Theoreticians), located on the same site, allow a very reactive research to be made in order to optimize the properties. This strategy based on the structure-properties relationship will be reinforced for the next four years. It will necessitate to have an ambitious equipments (commercial or home-made) policy in order to address the challenges provided by the development of multifunctional and nano materials. A rapid overview at the international level, reveals that there exists only few places where facilities, going from the design of new oxide materials to their application, exist. In the field of the physics of strongly correlated materials, one can quote the group of Y. Tokura (Tokyo University; Tsukuba), the group of R.J. Cava at Princeton for the structure-properties relationship (with very strong links to the large scale facilities). In Europe, one can list the ICMAB (Barcelona), the Chemistry and Materials Department in Liverpool (M.J. Rosseinsky), Cambridge (come-back from the U.S. of Clare Grey and Tony Cheetham), the MPI of Stuttgart (Martin Jansen), of Dresden (arrival of Hao Tjeng from Köln University). The diffraction groups in Europe are also very 49 active in that field (Dimitri Argyriou, HMI Berlin; Laurent Chapon, Paolo Radaelli, ISIS and Oxford University). It must be emphasized that at the European level, the FP programs have made easier the exchanges between these laboratories. And of course, in France ICMCB (Bordeaux, Dir. Claude Delmas) is a large Institute in which oxides are extensived studied. ICMCB and CRISMAT have strong links and are involved in several common national and EU programs. In order to reinforce its rank in the field of solid-state chemistry and physics, the transdisciplinary teams of the laboratory will put strong efforts on the following points, that are more detailed by the team projects. 2.1.1 Synthesis of new materials The recently acquired SPS system provides a new way to make chemical reaction. Worldwide, this technique is used to densify pre-reacted materials but very few studies are devoted to reactive SPS. As reducing conditions exist during the synthesis, attempts to stabilize new phases involving reduced oxidation states (as M= Ti4+, V5+, Nb5+, Mo6+…) will be made. It must be pointed out that in such materials the presence of reduced species induces n-type conductivity and/or metal to insulator transition. In addition, due to the short reaction duration involved within this technique, nanostructured materials can be prepared such as nanoceramics, nanocomposites etc… Thermoelectrics, in which controlled inclusions of nanoparticles can be used to reduce the thermal conductivity, dielectrics, for which composition gradients can be mastered, nanoceramics for the nuclear materials, will be also investigated. The search for low dimension structures will be also strongly developed. Triangular lattice antiferromagnets for mutiferroicity, for thermoelectricity in the presence of mixed-valency, hollandites compounds with possible mixed conductivity will be especially looked at. For electrode materials, chimie douce and electrochemistry will be used to develop new frameworks involving Li+ and Na+ ionic species. The search for new hybrids will be also pursued. Among the low cost and environmentallyfriendly materials, the iron containing oxides are very interesting. Due to its strong on-site magnetism in oxides, the magnetic properties of new ferrites deserve to be investigated. Deriving from Sr4Fe6O13, numerous compounds with antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic properties have still to be discovered. A special effort will be made to correlate the magnetic structures, to be established by neutron diffraction, to the electronic behavior (magnetodielectric coupling at RT). This interest for Fe, illustrated also by the discovery of “114” phases of the ABaFe4O7+ δ formula, opens new routes to stabilize magnetic materials with controlled frustration. New phases and new structural polytypes will be discovered. This structural type exhibits also some remarkable oxygen non stoichiometry properties. The investigation of these materials and also the “112” compounds to be applied as SOFC membranes will be conducted. New synthesis conditions to decrease the oxygen pressure range during the synthesis by using hydrides will be developed. The recent discovery of HTC in iron pnictides illustrates the importance of the anion to control the metal spin-state. The search of new compounds based on different anions-as sulfur in the multiferroics AgCrS2- or involving several anions will be developed. For that purpose, the theoretical calculations will be of prime importance to evaluate the modifications of ligand field on the electronic configuration of the metallic cations. The polyanion compounds will open routes to stabilize new phosphors for the production of inorganic LEDs as illustrated by the pioneering work of Wolfand Schnick on Eu-doped oxynitrides of silicon. 2.1.2 Synthesis of thin-films and nanostructuration Opportunities in the possibility to control the properties by using the strain fields at the interfaces in heterostructures made of different compounds such as perovskites will be pushed forward. First, this work corresponds to a solid-state chemistry approach as new intergrowths can be designed and deposited, these compounds being not reachable by classical solid-state reaction. Second, the 50 theoretical tools to predict the properties of such multilayer systems will be used to sort between the different parameters (nature of the phases, thicknesses and periodicities…) involved in these materials. As nanodimension can be reached in the thickness of the deposited layers, the new equipment of nanolithography for oxides (2010) will be used to reduce the lateral dimensions of the films. Accordingly, in addition to the physics of the heterostructures which can be characterized by electric transport (including angular effects, noise measurements, Hall effect, small angle neutron scattering) and the effect of the size reduction towards the nanoscale in oxides will be strongly investigated. This could help in finding applications such as in multiferroics or superconducting-based electronics. 2.1.3 Structural characterization tools The orientations towards nanomaterials prepared by either bottom-up (nanoceramics) or top-down (nanolithography of thin-films) approaches will require development of up-todate equipments to characterize their structure (atomic positions) and structures (stress, interfaces etc…). From the X-ray diffraction side, the priority will be to acquire new 4circles diffractometers combining SAXS and WAXS allowing PDF and tomography to be made. Such equipments will be complementary to a new set-up to be acquired for the in-situ studies of the structure especially in order to study the effect of external perturbations (T, P, E…) on the aperiodicity which is one of the speciality of the CRISMAT crystallographers. These X-ray diffraction projects will complement the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) facilities of the laboratory. CRISMAT, one of the three laboratories partners of IRMA, is in charge of the TEMs located in Caen. A new Cs corrected TEM will be purchased in 2011 and will be dedicated to high resolution. Together with the recent achievements made in the lab for the structural determination of nanoobjects by using electron precession, the new TEM, also equipped with an analytical option (GIF), will provide complementary tools to study materials and nanomaterials. Indirectly, the GENESIS project, submitted to the EQUIPEX call of the Research Ministry and implying the GPM (Univ. Rouen) and CIMAP (ENSICAEN), might allow the Caen part of IRMA to acquire a FIB which will be very useful to prepare the samples to be observed by TEM. All these equipments will also reinforce the activities of the laboratory in the national network METSA. 2.1.4 Physics With a new liquid He liquefier to be installed in 2011, our ability to characterize the physical properties from ~2K up to ~1000K (magnetization, electrical and thermal conductivity, Seebeck) will be ensured. The Physicists involved in all the four teams (E1 to E4) will go on developing new experimental set-ups and new theoretical models to measure and modelize the physical properties of the materials synthetized at CRISMAT. After the first publications in the field of magnetoelectric coupling, a new system to measure the electric polarization up to 14T near 1000K will be designed to complement the existing facilities limited to ~320K. One emerging field lies in the magnetocaloric effect for which several Physicists are involved. To deepen our understanding of the physics related to the magnetic and/or structural transitions related to this effect, in addition to the specific heat measurements, the development of a set-up to apply pressure for the magnetic/electric measurements will be purchased. This new type of external perturbation will also allow a direct comparison to the pressure effect on the structure (crystallography project). Similarly the external applied pressure would allow comparison to be made with the chemical pressure effect or the effect of strains in the case of thin-films. Though physics is a strong component of the laboratory, in the future, our activity will need even more collaborations with the Physics laboratories such as the studies made on misfit cobaltites with the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides [Univ. Orsay (ARPES, NMR, μ SR)] or on the cobalt configuration with spectroscopy in different structural environment groups (XAS, Köln University and Max Planck Institute Dresden). 51 2.1.5 Technological research As materials are at the heart of many applications, the demand for collaborative projects is always increasing. CRISMAT, through the UMS CNRT, aims at reinforcing its collaborative projects especially those on structural materials (alloys and composites) in connection with companies working in the automotive sector (MOV’EO competitiveness hub). For that purpose, new numerical and experimental tools will be developed especially for testing the composites containing natural flax fibers and the magnetomechanical properties of magnetic alloys. The development of analysis methodologies is also one of the main task of the test laboratory (LAMIPS, common NXP/PRESTO/CRISMAT laboratory). For the semiconducting systems the size reduction requires new technique to be developed. The existence of strong relations with NXP, which main activity is on the RF components for 3G and 4G, will provide new possibilities to test materials to be deposited on industrial substrates. Several potential applications of oxides have been identified and will be developed. In addition to these topics, the technological research on thermoelectrics will go on. The hiring of a specialist of Zintl phases has opened new opportunities to implement up-todate materials such as doped Mg2Si, in thermoelectric modules. The UMS CNRT has the responsibility to organize this research at the national level between academics and companies. 2.1.6 International CRISMAT hallmark is coming from its international links. This is an essential aspect to develop efficient scientific collaborations at the highest level and also attract young researchers. At the EU level, CRISMAT is partner of the European Multifunctional Materials Institute (EMMI) association (ICMCB coord.) and of the Energy Materials (ENERMAT) InterReg Project (CRISMAT coord.). These two networks, involving academic and industrial partners, form a solid basis to develop European projects. This is the case of the ITN SOPRANO and of the ERASMUS MUNDUS II IdsFunMat. The role played at the European level on thermoelectricity is now reinforced by the successful THERMOMAG proposal, coordinated by ESA, on magnesium silicides. Involving the participation of six companies and eight academic laboratories, this project will start by the end of 2010. The laboratory is also present at the level of the vice-presidency of the European Thermoelectric Society. According to our participation in the national METSA network, and to the numerous common publications with the electronic microscopy laboratory of Antwerpen (EMAT) which is coordinating the European network EESTEM, we aim at entering the next European microscopy network. For the battery materials, Bernard Raveau is President of the European ALISTORE network and our discoveries in the field of electrode materials should reinforce the links to the ALISTORE laboratories. Outside Europe, CRISMAT has a long tradition of common research with India, especially by hosting young Indian researchers. Heading the CNRS Associated International Laboratory (LAFICS: CRISMAT, IPCMS, ICMCB; IIS Bangalore, Mumbai and IIT Chennai), the LAFICS will be in charge of a project to the 2011 EU call on international collaborations. As for thermoelectric oxides, the Japanese occupy a dominant position, we will continue to promote exchange programs with AISTs (Tokyo and Osaka), and Nagoya University (K. Koumoto and I. Terasaki). On the US side, the laboratory has strong links with the Solid State Chemistry laboratories. For instance, Mas Subramanian (Milton-Harris Professor of Materials Science – Oregon State University) has been hosted these last two years on a Chair supported by the Regional Council. These exchanges will be reinforced by exchanging students and by the organization of the prestigious Gordon Research Conference on Solid State Chemistry in 2012. Furthermore the new position of Prof. Kenneth Poeppelmeier (Northwestern University, NWU) between NWU and Argonne National Laboratory, already supported by several NSF grants on the US side, will motivate common projects to be submitted in the future on energy materials. 52 2.1.7 National For the next period, CRISMAT will continue to participate to the GDR networks. The GDR “Thermoélectricité” (23 laboratories; dir. CRISMAT) will need to be renewed as also the GDR “Multiferroïques” (Dir. ICMCB) and GDR SPS (Dir. CIRIMAT). Our participation into the Energy Interdisciplinary Program of the CNRS (Thermoelectricity) will be accentuated especially in the field of magnetocaloric materials (ANR project just starting, 2010) and the supercapacitors (exploratory project with the CIRIMAT). The thermoelectricity is evolving more and more towards application and a large effort will be devoted to the thermodynamic modelization (two 2010 ANR projects with EDF as industrial partner). The exchanges with the condensed matter Physicists are made principally within the GDR MICO. The emergency of the new HTCs might motivate the creation of a new research group (GDR) on that topic to which both theoreticians and experimentalists would participate. 2.1.8 Regional The laboratory will reinforce its strong links to the regional academics and companies. The IRMA Institute with GPM (Rouen) and CIMAP (Caen) allows to improve our collaboration based on TEM via METSA. For the future, the strong support of the Region Council through the CPER (Materials Axis) will make possible the new TEM purchase. The IRMA technical platform, just reinforced by the nanolithography equipments, is essential to the collaborative research with regional companies involved in the information technologies (NXP, IPDIA and PRESTO). Through the UMS CNRT our implication in the structuration of the regional activities on alloys and composites will keep on growing. The technological network LINT on flax fibers composites (ecomaterials) or our implication in the CIRIAM (Campus Industriel de Recherche Innovation Appliquées aux Matériaux, located in Flers) and the related engineers formation are examples of our investment in MOV’EO or NAE (Normandy Aeronautics). Among the ‘Investissements d’Avenir” calls, the LABEX (excellence laboratory) is most certainly one where the CRISMAT with the local partners will apply. Moreover, the Satory project (IEED or IRT) on the future vehicle might have some external part on materials where CAEN could be the coordinator 2.1.9 Staff evolution organization and Over this four-year contract (2008-2011) the permanent staff is becoming much younger as 13 retirements were expected (9 are effective) and one staff member passed away (Dominique Grebille). These senior researchers have been only partially replaced with three new Maître de Conférences for the new materials group, one CNRS Researcher in thin-film and two CNRS Researchers for transmission electron microscopy. Next positions to be filled will be on the functional materials, ceramics and alloys, and on crystallography at the frontiers with either thin-films or the large scale facilities. The laboratory re-organization in four transversal teams aimed at reequilibrating the six original groups which sizes were becoming too heterogeneous. Also, this structuration has allowed younger Scientists to become in charge of the scientific animation. With about 40 seminars per year (see list in Part. 3 of the report), with the animation of the theory at the level of ENSICAEN laboratories (resp. M.B Lepetit), with a day of the predocs in the laboratory, and with a CDL, the staff members have several possibilities to interact with others. Our goal is to keep the teams and groups sufficiently opened to facilitate the exchanges, on a unformal basis. 2.1.10 Budget Our system based on the centralization of the budget will be maintained. By avoiding to split the teams in separate small laboratories, this organization encourages the teams to develop common projects. This a key issue to allow an interdisciplinary approach and to make coexisting very fundamental together with very applicative research. Nonetheless, the evolution of the recurrent yearly budget shows a clear decrease over the years when compared to the total budget. This implies to deposit more and more projects which on the long term is becoming very improductive. We hope that the national 53 initiative (“investissements d’avenir”) will contribute to simplify the too complex funding system. 2.1.11 Auto analysis Strenghts Skills in the field of solid-state chemistry and physics: strong links between both communities Numerous partnerships with companies Recognition of the applied sciences by the industrial world (contracts) Strong international links Publications in both chemistry and physics journals Emerging new generation of researchers with increasing scientific production (quality and quantity) Up-to date scientific equipment Good balance between fundamental and applied research. Weaknesses Small number of patents Too low impact factors in some disciplines (ceramics, metallurgy) Multi-origin of research fundings Too low Technicians / facilities ratio. Opportunities Coexistence of fundamental researches coupled to strong partnership with companies; this facilitates the building of consortium to apply to the FP7 calls IRMA constitutes a basis to structure the materials research at the Normandy scale; it provides a unique technical platform of characterization at the atomic scale The increasing demand for energy materials creates real opportunities to start research on new emerging fields. Risks The lack of structuration of the regional Universities and Engineering schools is creating a large gap between the “Excellence Campus” and our local pluridisciplinary Universities In case of failure or our candidacy to the “Investissements d’Avenir”, the laboratory might move to the 2nd league! The search of new materials is by essences more risky than the development of more technological research. In the following, the projects of the four teams (E1 to E4) are presented. These four parts are complemented by four projects corresponding to the transverse topics: transmission electron microscopy, theory, physics and crystallography. 54 2.2 Design of New Materials (DNM, E1) Research of new functional materials prompts scientists of solid chemistry to push back the frontier of chemical stability via unconventional synthesis methods, non stoichiometry mechanisms and theoretical approach. It is the core of the DNM-E1 team’s activities. The assessment of the latter can be summarized in strengths and weaknesses. Strenghts : scientific outreach, synergy between different teams, internal experimental facilities and suitable balance of CNRS and academic researchers Weaknesses : industrial relationships, use of external facilities proposed by (inter)national networks (ex : ILL for neutrons source or METSA for EELS techniques) 2.2.1 Self-analysis The actual permanent staff, formed by 12 academic researchers, takes on younger air. Its scientific production is significant with 158 papers published in international journals (1/3 of all laboratory’s publications for the period 2006-2010). The team’s activity is mainly focused on fundamental aspects and therefore upstream from the industrial world. Among the numerous reported results, a significant part (1/3) deals with some topics belonging to the historical activity such as perovskite and related intergrowths oxides and their magnetotransport properties. A fine statistical analysis shows that this activity declines from one year to the next. Thus, we can imagine that this one will become minor unless some major breakthrough is achieved. In a general manner, we can deplore that the actual activity is totally devoted to oxide frameworks and the major chemical investigations are carried out by solid state route. However, the initial and successful processes like go and return between synthesis and TEM observations in order to optimize or formulate new chemical compositions with promising physical properties will be kept. The main strength of this team is based on its composition: a well balanced mixture between chemists, physicists, bench scientists and theoreticians which ensure an adapted background to study new 1D, 2D and 3D frameworks. About technical supports, the laboratory offers a large panel of facilities but the team will pay a peculiar attention towards the large scale facilities such as neutrons sources & synchrotrons facilities (LLB, ILL, ISIS, SOLEIL) but also the fine local chemical analysis by means of Z-contrast and EELS techniques (IRMA) in order to highlight future results. 2.2.2 Objectives In strong correlations with the E2 team and the research of promising physical properties and the discovery of new materials, the future activities of team will be focused on chemical investigations to prompt new oxide or hybrid frameworks. Among the future developments, a part will be devoted to carry on our actual researchs and a second more risky part, will lead to tune new systems. • In a general manner, the oxygen non stoichiometry and the possible reactivity in the transition element layered oxides will be mainly considered with two main purposes: - the correlations between structure/oxidations and spin states /physical properties - the identification and the stabilization of original structures via direct syntheses or postsyntheses reactivity. For instance a peculiar attention will be devoted to the recent studies on complex oxycarbonates Sr-Co/Fe-C-O related to the Ruddlesden Popper stacking modes (Fig.1) and the magnetic features evolution depending on their reactivity in wet atmosphere. Fig.1: HREM Image of the unpublished Sr7Co4(CO3)O13- 55 With the support of the European SOPRANO network, a part of the team’s activity will be focused on new thermoelectric bulk materials. Two PhD projects have been started in 2009 : the first in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Stuggart deals with the Mn or Rh based systems related to hollandite–type structures and the second with new complex intergrowth cobaltites and ferrites built from [(Fe,Co)O2]-layers CdI2 type in collaboration with the chemistry department of University of Liverpool. Thus the works about complex intergrowths built from unusual BaCo8O11 and the hexagonal BaCoO 3−δ perovskite structures will be pursued up. The latter is well known to exhibit various polytypes depending on the actual oxygen stoichiometry. So its control should allow to isolate new members in the [BaCo8O11][BaCoO 3−δ ]m family. This approach illustrates perfectly the large synergy between the different teams since it will be fully related to the “Energy” team taking into account the expected range of oxygen mobility or the thermoelectric properties. The aluminate-type materials will be tested as potential ionic and mixed conductors and the substitution of aluminium species by other transition metals will be carried out to generate magnetic frustrations in these Kagome layers. Finally, lighting properties by luminescence will be also investigated depending on chemical doping in A1.5+xSbAl5O11.5 and Sr1.5+xSb2Al5+xO14 systems. • The frustrated magnetic networks in transition metal oxides such as the triangular lattice antiferromagnetic networks found in delafossite structures (CuCrO2, CuFeO2 …) have illustrated these last years their importance to generate spin induced ferroelectrics (type II multiferroics). Several new families with frustrated magnetism will be studied such as the spin ladders CaCr2O4 but also the phases developed by the E2 team with structures derived from the 114 structure. The possibility to understand the microscopic origin of the spin induced ferroelectricity will be also offered by using different ligands such as X = S or Se as in the case of AgCrX2. It must be emphasized that the symmetry reported for R-3M delafossites such as AgCrO2 is not compatible with the reported incommensurate antiferromagnetic structure. The existence of non centrosymmetry in AgCrS2 illustrates a “material approach” to understand the properties in the case of the multiferroics. It must also be pointed out that syntheses of sulfides and selenides will also lead to the discovery of new phases such as the unpublished Ag1/3CrS2 phase recently identified by TEM. As one limitation of these multiferroics is related to their low magnetic ordering temperatures (obviously coming from the frustation), the properties reported in CuO and YBaCuFeO5 oxides open numerous possibilities as magnetic superlattice in insulating oxides can be used. Numerous structures have to be revisited with at first a local symmetry analysis in order to help in screening the compounds. For all these activities, strong collaborations between chemists, physicists, theorists and crystallographers are required. The already existing collaborations with several groups working in large scale facilities will be also crucial to couple magnetism and electric polarization. Finally the existence of systematic changes of the dielectric constant at the Néel ordering temperature of insulating antiferromagnetic oxides has shown that these measurements are more sensitive than the structural measurements used to evidence charge displacements at TN. This opens new possibilities to obtain magnetodielectric materials operating at room temperature by relating antiferromagnets with TN adjusted to that T range. Strong efforts will be devoted to the search of such compounds From prospective point of view, new investigations will be attempted around the structure of the Bi6Sr2Rh7O22 oxide, recently isolated in laboratory and built from [RhO2]layers CdI2 type, which the structure exhibits structural relationships with the multiferroic YbFe2O4 and iron based Yb2Fe3O7 structure (Fig.2), both built from edge shared YbO6 octahedra layers separated by trigonal FeO5 bipyramids. Especially, this activity, already started for the ferrites, will be enlarged to cobalt and chromium based systems. 56 promising transport properties as reported for the lamellar polyaniline/MoS2 material Fig.3 1 or polythiophene/V2O5,nH2O bronze-type oxide (Fig.4) 2 . Fig.3: from ref [1] Figure.2 : models of YbFe2O4 (left) and Yb2Fe3O7 (right) These last years, the recent discoveries of high Tc superconducting properties in iron pnictides of (LnO)FeAs formulas has once again demonstrated the importance of layer structures to generate promising magnetic systems. The possibility to use different X ligands such as S, Se or Te instead of the As anions opens new routes to discover complex intergrowths with remarkable properties. Considering the skills designing materials together with the TEM techniques to reveal new structures at the nanoscale, new series of compounds may be discovered, in particular layered phases considering layers MX4 edgeshared tetrahedral. The stabilization of BaCo8O11 as a single magnetic phase and the substitution of hexagonal perovskite block by non magnetic layers in the [BaCo8O11][BaCoO 3−δ ]m series will be an exciting challenge. The national project MADBLAST (2009-2012) supported by the ANR summarizes this concept of “self assembly building units”. Its goal is to design new sandwiched materials in which magnetic layers are separated by non-magnetic spacers such as carbonated layers or organic blocks. The ability to substitute CO layers for perovskite layers or to intercalate water molecules in the Ruddlesden Popper series can be viewed as two different ways to reach this goal. This approach merges to the topic of the hybrid structures, recently started in the laboratory, built from an inorganic host framework and the intercalation of organic molecules. The insertion of conjugated polymers in layered host materials is interesting because the resulting organic/inorganic nanostructures may lead to Fig.4: from ref [4] By the same way, i.e. the intercalation of guest organic molecules via sol-gel route, the synthesis of new hybrid frameworks built from Ruddlesden Popper-type or NaxCoO2-type matrices will be attempted. Depending on the first results, we will try to control the syntheses of hybrid materials with potential applications in the field of energy such as the thermoelectricity. 2.2.3 Methodologies A peculiar effort will be made in the synthesis techniques considering sol-gel route and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The latter will allow to enlarge our investigation fields to explore systems well-known to be stable only under high pressure conditions. First, experiments have shown that reactive SPS can be used to synthesize vanadates with hollandite or magnetoplumbite structures. The implementation of our objectives needs also to apply unconventional characterization techniques. Among them, we have the electron crystallography and the systematic evolution transitions by thermodiffractometry. The chemical approach combining experimental TEM informations and predicting formulae is well-known in “new materials” group. So the same guideline will be applied to study our different systems. This methodology has been demonstrated to be efficient in the case of layered materials such as cobaltites, 57 aluminates, ferrites and tellurites in which complex structural features can be observed as shearing mechanisms, displacive modulations or topotactic transitions versus temperature. Owing to electron microscopy observations (Diffraction + image contrast patterns collected at room temperature or under controlled temperature) coupled with EDS measurements and our expertise in Solid State Chemistry, new layers stacking or original frameworks as extended defects or isolated crystallites should be detected. In this way, the electron crystallography using precession techniques, limiting strongly the dynamic effects included in electron diffracted intensities, will be valuable to characterize these new stackings, especially when the coexistence of different members belonging to the same family cannot be avoided in the sample. This structural analysis at nano scale should be strongly relevant in the case of hybrid framework nanocomposites. The analysis of the “true” diffracted intensities coupled to the microdiffraction techniques opens also the possibility to detect non centrosymmetric Laue point group. The last point is crucial in the case of research of new multiferroic materials. This classical approach of new materials will be completed by ab-initio calculations to validate the expected stability of materials, to interpret their magnetic ordering but also to initiate new chemical formulations. In the last year, we started over several works that will be extended over the next years. Among them is the development of an efficient computer code for the method that we developed in order to access to the low energy spectrum of systems involving numerous opened shells per atoms. Of course we will continue the work on the models for high Tc superconductivity and on orbital ordering in thin films. We will start to work on multiferroic systems with the aim of understanding the microscopic origin of the magneto-electric coupling. For this purpose we plan to directly compute the later on a few characteristic systems and to analyze the relative strengths of the different components. 1 2 Mercouri G.

Kannewurf, Chem. Mater., 1990, 2 (3), pp 222–22 58 2.3.2 Materials for energy storage: 2.3 Energy Materials (EM, E2) 2.3.1 Auto-analysis: For the next generation of energy devices, the discovery and optimization of high performance materials are critical to future breakthroughs. That is why innovative materials chemistry lies at the centre of advances that have to be made in this field. The EM team must therefore sustain its activities in this field of research. To develop a project for the next four years, it is first necessary to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the EM team. The main strength of the EM team is its ability to synthesize new materials by means of many and various synthesis methods. Thus, we have been able to discover many materials with new structures during the four previous years. Moreover the control of the particle size or the porosity by direct synthesis, which led to the improvement of physical properties for some materials, is becoming a mature technique inside the team. In spite of these successful results, we need to improve our means of synthesis and, for instance, we are planning to develop chemical synthesis and impedance measurements under controlled oxygen partial pressure. Three new researchers have strengthened the team during the two last years. Therefore new subjects of research will start in the field of supercapacitors and intermetallic thermoelectric materials. Since the team’s activities are mainly focused on fundamental research, few relationships have been made on with industrial partners. In the short term, the team will have to reinforce collaborative research with E3 and E4 teams because most of the industrial materials for energy require to be manufactured as thin or thick films. There are also needs of new specific technical facilities. For example, our objectives are to set up impedance, ionic transport number and oxygen permeation measurements under controlled oxygen partial pressure during the four next years. Li-ion and Na-ion batteries The renewed interest in the search for new compounds that can be used as potential electrode materials for Li-ion batteries is due to the safety concerns associated with the redox chemistry of the electrode materials. In addition, large-scale mobile applications require robust and low cost systems. Several families of materials are screened for this purpose. Among the proposed candidates, iron based materials and in particular, polyanion containing compounds, are of great interest due to the reasonable high voltage range (~3.62.5 V) possible with Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple. In this background, many iron based phosphates have been studied. Among all the studied iron phosphates, LiFePO4 is found to be an outstanding material due to its high operating voltage, high capacity and good cyclability. Amongst the iron based polyanionic systems, those containing sulphate anions exhibit a higher redox voltage of the Fe2+/Fe3+ couple than those containing phosphate anions. In spite of this advantage of iron sulphates, surprisingly, very few have been investigated hitherto for lithium insertion. Thus, in the search for new iron based electrode materials, we have revisited the SO42containing iron based compounds. With the synthesis of the monoclinic form of FeOHSO4, we have been able to discover a new electrode material, which is amenable for reversible insertion/deinsertion of ~ one Li per formula unit. This hydroxyl-sulphate, though not optimized, exhibits a high voltage plateau similar to that observed in LiFePO4, and a good cycling behavior with a reversible capacity of 110 mAh/g (Fig. 1). Figure 1: potential-composition curve of FeOHSO4 at C/200 59 Due to its good electrochemical performance and low cost, Fe(OH)SO4 is promising and opens the route to the exploration of the family of sulphates, which can be regarded as promising electrode materials, suggesting also that transition metal sulphates need to be explored. We will thus continue in this direction. The exploration of transition metal oxides towards the lithium insertion has generated the discovery of several new phases with new structure that show reversible lithium insertion. Thus, we will continue this approach and also open this axis to other alkaline ion insertion, namely sodium. We will start with niobium oxides as we have already found a new structure in the series ANbO3 with A=Li, Na (Fig. 2). capacitances are reached, being able to exploit multiple charge storage mechanisms. RuO2 is the most studied pseudo-capacitive system but as its commercial success remains limited due to its high cost, alternatively materials such as MnO2 are extensively studied. The fundamental challenge for pseudo-capacitors is the understanding of charge transfer processes. To date, most improvements have been the result of empirical approaches but, this lack of understanding hampers the design and development of alternative materials with high energy densities. A first step in the development of this activity will be the characterisation of promising materials in order to identify the influence of different parameters (pore size, surface area, crystallinity) on the performance of electrochemical capacitors as well as the physico-chemical consequences of nanoscale dimensions. To do so, a PE-PIE proposal (Projet Exploratoire, Progr. Interdisciplinaire Energie du CNRS) involving the CIRIMAT in Toulouse is just starting. 2.3.3 Material for energy conversion: Figure 2: Structural view of LiNbO3 In addition, within the European network Erasmus Mundus, a thesis will start in collaboration with Darmstadt Institute on new phases for microbatteries. This collaboration will allow us to open our research to thin film prepared by soft chemistry. Materials for supercapacitors: Today, batteries and electrochemical capacitors are among the leading energy storage technologies. While batteries are used in applications in which significant energy storage is needed, the latter are especially suitable for power density applications, with fast response times and almost unlimited cycle life. Electrochemical capacitors can be of two types, electric double layer capacitors and pseudo-capacitors (redox-based). In the first type, the main requirement is a high specific surface area being activated carbons the most widely used materials today because of their moderate cost. The interest of pseudocapacitors relies in the fact that higher specific Ionic conductors, non stoichiometric oxides, membranes and cathodes for IT-SOFC Recently an ANR grant (TUNE, 017-2009) has been obtained. So far, the challenge consists in the control of oxygen content in transition metal oxides to create new structural frameworks and also to develop a set up to perform anionic conductivity measurements under various partial pressures of oxygen (H2O, Ar/H2, O2, Fig. 3). We wish thus being able in a short term to measure the oxygen permeation rate of mixed ion electron materials. Figure 3: Gas mixer from the NorEcs Company 60 We purchased also a cell and an impedancemeter in order to perform the impedance measurement under partial pressure control. The heart of our project is also to tune by electrochemistry or chemistry the oxygen content and hence the transition metal oxidation state in order to generate unique properties and new frameworks. The electrochemical oxidation in alkaline media was already used to prepare several phases like the end member NdBaCo2O6. Note therefore that, these perovskites have been extensively studied in Caen for their complex magnetic and transport properties, leading to about 15 papers in international journals from 2006 to 2009. More recently, based on the study of the LnBaM4O7 (M=Co, Fe) phases also called “114”, we are interested in their reversible oxygen sorption at low temperature (100500°C). Such property is of interest for various applications like cathode for IT SOFC. Thus, we embark in the exploration of the oxygen non-stoichiometry in this family, trying to characterize the fully oxidized phases LnBaM4O8.5 from the structural and physical properties point of view. Moreover, the localization of the oxygen excess in this structure by neutron diffraction is under study. In addition, to prepare these compounds in large quantity, chemical simulation of the reduction and oxidation of these nonstoichiometric transition metal oxides will be performed. For this, we propose to develop ozonolize reaction for the chemical oxidation and also hydrides reactions for the chemical reduction. For the latter, we already set up a device in order to make the reaction with CaH2, LiH, etc under controlled atmosphere at low temperature. In the long term, we wish to develop also, in collaboration with the ceramic group of the laboratory, the possibility to test these materials as cathode of fuel cell. Furthermore, with a wealth of experience we will also develop the cationic conductivity measurement on the new framework based on phosphate and sulphate developed already described in the “Bilan” section. Thermoelectric materials The investigation of the thermoelectric properties of oxides and new materials will be pursued, using two different approaches. New structures will be investigated, and not only oxides but also intermetallic compounds will be studied. Moreover, the microstructure of known materials will be modified to investigate the interplay between this microstructure, thermal and electronic properties. Among the materials presented in the summary, the layered misfit oxides present puzzling phenomena which are still not fully understood. First of all, the large thermopower coexists with a metallic behaviour, as if these two properties come from different carriers, which makes this system very interesting for the optimization of the power factor. As a first approach, the block layers seem to play the role of charge reservoir, but different experiments have revealed that it could also directly affect the electronic properties. Also, thermal properties should be affected by the different modulations in these layers and by the misfit ratio. New compounds deriving from these materials have been found, with a similar CdI2 type layer, but a different block layer [ACL-07-51]. We plan to investigate in more details this new family of compounds to better understand the role of the block layer. These modifications of the block layer are very important for electric properties, but could also play a role on the thermal conductivity. By changing the block layer, it could also be possible to modify the cation in the CdI2 type layer (not only Co or Rh, but similarly to delafossites where Cr, Fe or Rh can be found in the CdI2 type layers). Also magnetic properties could be modified (by changing Rh with other cations) and the interplay between magnetic properties and thermoelectric properties can be investigated. In these layered systems, single crystals can be grown and a more systematic investigation of the anisotropy of the transport properties can be made, using angular transport measurements. In plane measurements should help understanding the influence of modulations. Another interesting layered system with CdI2 type layers, which has been investigated, is the delafossite family. Intermetallic delafossites (like AgCrSe2) exist and have the advantage to have a lamellar structure that is very flexible. In fact, cationic and anionic substitution can be done in the aim of adjusting the carrier concentration and therefore improve the thermoelectric figure of merit. From the promising thermoelectric properties reported in some oxide delafossites, it is reasonable to think that the same 61 characteristics will be encountered in heavier chalcogenide delafossites. Also, positive and negative Seebeck [for example in G. A. Wiegers et al., MRB23, 1551 (1988)] can be found in these systems in contrast with oxides. Apart from these layered systems, the hollandite system will be investigated, with the structure made of channels constituted from four ribbons of edge shared octahedra. A metallic behavior has been observed together with a peak of Seebeck coefficient in some of these p-type oxides [ACL-09-52] and n-type hollandites have also been reported. The hollandite structure presents infinite 1D channels that can accommodate different cations. This possibility of filling the gap of the structure with different atoms can be very useful in order to tune the electric transport properties by the fine adjustment of the carrier concentration. The presence of edge-shared octahedra together with reduced dimensionality could lead to promising Seebeck coefficients. Moreover, hollandites can be found in intermetallic sytems and the thermoelectric properties could be tuned by this anionic substitution. Intermetallics with structure deriving from the classical (oxide) hollandite can be found in early transition metal - chalcogenide systems, they will be part of our investigations, an idea supported by the fairly good thermoelectric properties of the Chevrel phases, another type of “open” structure in which many interstitial atoms can be placed. In this hollandite system, the role of reduced dimensionality, doping and covalency effect can therefore be probed. One way to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric materials is by “artificially” changing their transport properties. In fact, the insertion of controlled impurities within a thermoelectric matrix can drastically change the thermal conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient and obviously the electrical conductivity. Depending on the nature of both the impurities and the matrix, different types of composites can be formed and their properties investigated. This part will be more focused on intermetallics, with two different approaches. The first one is designing composites with an intermetallic matrix and metallic nanoinclusions M. In this type of composite, the possible effect of the nano-inclusions is mainly on the transport properties since according to the theory, the phonon mean free path can be reduced while the electronic conduction can be enhanced. Thus, this will lead to a double benefit for the thermoelectric figure of merit. Several systems will be investigated mostly based on silicide thermoelectric matrix and different metal nano-inclusions. Another approach is for composites with an intermetallic matrix and oxide nano-inclusions. In this type of composite, the major effect desired will be the reduction of the thermal conductivity by the enhancement of the phonon scattering. Moreover, different types of oxide will be used with different transport properties but also with different morphologies. Indeed, it is expected that the size and the shape of the nano-inclusions will have a different effect on the transport properties. These composites will be made by mixing the matrix and the inclusions in high energy ball-mill followed by a fast high temperature sintering method (SPS or microwave). In these two cases, the questions of phase separation, relative stability, reaction at the interfaces will be addressed and investigated. We plan on using magnesium disilicide and higher manganese silicide as our n and p type thermoelectric active matrices, respectively. In the case of oxide materials, the reduction of dimensionality has not been investigated so much (except in SrTiO3 by Ohta et al. [Nature Materials 6, 129 (2007)]). By collaborating with thin film specialists of FICS and using the clean room facilities, the transport properties of new objects can be investigated. It has been theoretically proposed that reducing dimensionality would lead to a huge enhancement of Seebeck coefficient [M.S. Dresselhaus, Advanced Materials 19, 1043 (2007)] but it also plays a role on thermal conductivity [for example in A. I. Hochbaum, Nature 451, 163 (2008)] in classical thermoelectric materials. These effects will be probed starting from ‘model’ oxide materials, by reducing their size and playing with thermal barriers. Finally, it is important to emphasize that all these experiments will be analyzed in close connection with the theoreticians of ‘Projet Théorie’. The Heikes formula has been extensively used to analyze the high T Seebeck coefficient. In several systems (electron doped manganites and delafossites), the T dependence of thermopower has been more recently interpretated by using the model of 62 Apparent Fermi Liquid (AFL). Collaboration between theoreticians and experimentalists will continue to modelize our experimental data. Magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration: The magnetocaloric effect and the concept of magnetic cooling have received renewed interest in recent years due to the discovery of new materials. Magnetocaloric materials often possess other interesting properties (magnetoresistance, metamagnetism, noncollinear magnetic order, magnetostriction) associated with the magnetic transition at which the magnetocaloric effect is maximal. Many promising magnetocaloric materials show a strong magnetoelastic interaction. It is therefore natural to confront new scientific results in the field of magnetostriction with those on the magnetocaloric effect. Recent studies have shown that changes in the magnetic state of the materials often lead to large (even anomalous) changes in the crystal volume. It appears that small hysteresis and magnetostriction are highly desirable characteristics when one searches for compounds suitable for applications in terms of magnetic cooling. As a matter of fact, a systemic and critical analysis of the use of the standard Clausius Clapeyron relationship shall be investigated in order to address the interplay between the magnetic and structural entropy changes within a generalized Clausius Clapeyron framework. This issue opens the route to implementation of a model specifically addressed to First Order Transition (FOT) and accounting for (i) lattice contribution and (ii) broadening of the transition. In addition, one must consider within this approach not only the peak (latent peak) but also the step in specific heat around the transition temperature. Such a study will allow us to define a peak’s aspect ratio of ΔST(T) for an optimum performance for a given material. The results could be validated by a direct “measurement” of the adiabatic temperature change (Tad) with the apparatus developed by our partner in Grenoble (IN). Besides intrinsic MC characteristics, the functioning of a cooling device cycle involves many extrinsic parameters that are most of the time neglected (for instance the exchange coefficient at the interface between the material and thermal fluid). The predominance of the different parameters is checkable using the demonstrator developed by G2ELab (Grenoble) with which a collaboration has been started. At the present time, materials exhibiting the best performance in terms of intrinsic MC are intermetallics. However, these materials have to face extrinsic barriers such as ageing effects (corrosion, cycling effects, etc…) that should be overcome. Considering such a study, the initial stage would be to consider a material free of such limitations, even if it exhibits lower intrinsic MC performance. Some oxides can play the role of testing materials: synthesized with non-toxic elements, cheap, stable in aqueous environment, exhibiting a reversible ferromagnetic transition at room temperature.... These materials are shapeable and thus can be used in a demonstrator as proposed above. As an example, 40 sheets (20*25*1 mm) of Pr0.65Sr0.35MnO3 have been synthesized with a nominal TC around 293-294 K and dS(0-0.7 T)= 1.84 J K-1kg-1. External pressure or size of the samples can play a role in their use for magnetic refrigeration and have to be investigated Past research has focused on conventionally processed bulk alloys, which can be produced in large quantities, but the range of suitable compounds is limited. Virtually unexplored scientific terrain is the nanotechnological approach for refrigeration applications. The effects of intraplane and interplane exchange interactions on the magnetic phase diagram could be revisited with special emphasis on tailoring magnetocaloric properties. Superlattices of ferromagnetic materials permit to alter the magnetic structure as well as the magnetic anisotropy. In such a way, the magnetocaloric properties can be tuned, which may open a constructive approach for magnetic refrigeration applications. It is clear that oxides are instrinsically limited by moderate magnetic density (magnetic moment per atom) which results from both a fraction of “useful” atoms less than ½ (oxygens do not contribute to MC effect) and a poor involvement of the 4f elements which posses the largest spin yet. Heussler phases and intermetallic materials are good candidates for future investigations of magnetocalorimetric optimal performance. Collaborations are starting with partners from Grenoble and Calcutta. 63 2.4 Films and Correlated Systems (FICS, E3) Before elaborating our scientific project for the next 2011-2015 period, after about 20 years, the field of oxide thin films is becoming scientifically mature, so that a number of interesting effects of solid state physics are now explored in this form of materials (superconductivity, magnetism, multiferroics, metal-insulator transitions, etc). The observed effects are often intriguing for fundamental research, as well as for applications and, as a result, this field becomes strongly competitive on an international level. Based on the numerous potential device applications, oxide materials currently are indeed under investigation worldwide, either by integrating them in known silicon-based electronic technology (e.g., depositing high-K oxides on Si substrates [S.G. Lim et al., J. Appl. Phys. 91 (2002) 4500]) or in the development of nextgeneration metal oxide-based electronics. In this context, our research group, FICS, has an important strength: nationally and internationally recognized experts in solid state chemistry and condensed matter physics of oxide thin films are allied in this research group, together with experts of the key characterizations of oxides. The expertise is ranging from the design and the growth of high quality thin oxide films and superlattices by different techniques and their advanced structural characterizations by crystallography and electron microscopy, to a wide range of original characterization techniques of the physical properties and the interpretation and theoretical treatment of the latter. To be more precise, the activity is mainly focused on the synthesis, the structural and physical characterizations of oxide materials (mainly thin films), while keeping the idea of industrial applications, but more in a long term view. Before integrating them, we are clearly aware that a better understanding of films requires a deep study of model systems like single crystals, and development of dedicated techniques. In order to keep our expertise in solid state, we will pursue in the next years, the following routes: the synthesis of films and characterizations of novel heterostructures, the understanding of electronic transport properties using new techniques or tools. These fundamental projects will involve the entire “FICS” team, but will also need strong interactions within the CRISMAT laboratory. Regarding the industrial local projects, the separation of NXP Company in multiple companies (IPDIA, PRESTO) imposes a new way to our management of the industrial projects, which will be more complicated, but opens also a way to diversify the scientific work. As seen below, we are currently developing new projects with PhD students. The past years have been devoted to the sample thickness reduction which has led the development of dedicated techniques and characterization tools. Since the demand of miniaturization is growing, a common goal of the team is to investigate the properties of complex oxides, in which the lateral dimensions are equally reduced, using our clean room facilities (Fig.1) which has just been set up in Caen, within the frame of IRMA. Figure 1: Laminar flow hoods (class 100) for the sample preparation for lithography The strength of this combination of different areas of knowledge was already demonstrated in outstanding results as shown in this report. However, this broadness of expertise also carries a risk of dispersion of the research topics since many of them are potentially interesting. To prevent this, we will focus our research activities to some specific topics in which we esteem to be able to make an important scientific contribution. To summarize, they are as follows: The design of new functional materials and architectures in thin film form The in-depth characterization of structure of the films and the interfaces the The fundamental aspects in the physics of strongly correlated systems in reduced dimensions 64 The strengths of the FICS team are mainly our scientific outputs in terms of publication (both from the quality and quantitiy point of views) as well as our implication in several international projects (MACOMUFI, COMEPHS, EMMI, FAME, IDS-FunMat etc.). We also benefit from an exceptional quality and quantity of equipments, starting from the preparation to structural/physical characterizations. This large number of equipment probably requires a larger number of technical staff, which is one of our main weaknesses. While our industrial collaborations are mainly concentrated with PhDs, we believe that a new development with local industry is ongoing. The strengths and weaknesses of the FICS team of the FICS team have been listed in the following table. Strong point Environment / Geographic position Industrial relationships Scientific outreach (publications, conferences,…) Industrial enhancements (patents) Average age of the team Affiliation between the thematic / Synergy Experimental facilities Human resources via industrial supports (postgraduate positions / CIFRE thesis) Technical staff Proportion of CNRS staff Confidentiality Neutral position X Weakness X X X X X X X advances in thin film fabrication techniques have drawn lots of interests, since the precise control of the atoms in oxide thin films enabled researchers to obtain high quality oxide heterostructures with different type of materials. While some systems (like SrTiO3/LaAlO3) are widely studied, there are other systems with comparable properties, like the geometrically confined doping systems, using different transition metal oxides or rare earth cations that have not been studied. Some typical examples are PbVO3/PrVO3, LaCrO3/SrCrO3. Such study will allow exploring, for example the influence of the ionic size of the doping ion, or of the transition metal oxides upon their structural distortions and physical properties of the superlattices. Ultimately, a series of superlattices phase diagram will be produced for which the corresponding solid solution might not be available. This means that the solid state approach, which was originally a key feature of the CRISMAT laboratory, is indeed now specifically applied to thin films. Note that a PhD student will be dedicated to this project, and is expected to start in fall 2010, which will reinforce the postdoc students already working on this field. A second PhD will be carried out, applying the two-dimensional transport properties of the vanadates in a capacitor to verify the theoretical predictions of a large capacitance variations [T. Kopp et al., J. Appl. Phys. 106, (2009) 064504] for such a kind of device in collaboration with IPDIA, a spin-out from NXP Company. 2.4.1 Synthesis of Complex Oxides and Heterostructures As previously discussed the stacking of two different insulators could lead to metallic interface in SrTiO3/LaAlO3, and we believe this can also be obtained at interfaces between other couples of insulating materials. As their lattice parameters will undergo mutual influence, an insulator to metal transition could take place. Briefly, we expect to induce a metallic behaviour in Al2O3 by inserting layers of Cr2O3 and study the physics of a series of related materials, both in thin films and in bulk form (in collaboration with M. Casas Cabanas). Additionally, the systems will be studied theoretically, and a feedback process between theory and experiment will be set up (coll. Univ. Augsburg and KAUST). The physics of the interface between two different materials has become an imperative issue these days, as the size of the devices become smaller and smaller. The recent To prepare such complex structures, we first need to precisely control the growth using the existing in-situ diagnostic (like the RHEED technique), but more importantly we need to X X X The concentration on these topics will allow conducting front-edge investigations in thin film materials science by exploring original ideas based on the fundamental knowledge of the physics that are detailed below. 65 expand this approach to all materials we are synthesizing, including YBa2Cu3O7 for example. At last, the synthesis of smooth and sharp (at an atomic-scale level of the order of a few angstroms) layer interfaces should be done in a routine way. We should, thusly, significantly improve the interface quality that plays a crucial role to obtain original electronic properties which should ultimately open unforeseen opportunities for technology and device functions. Regarding post-synthesis (ex-situ) structural analyses, there are interesting ongoing works using microscopy techniques (TEM or scanning probe microcopies) that should be further developed towards a more quantitative approach using on-site new generation TEM or through collaborative works. Combining this atomic level characterization with the macroscopic structural characterizations performed in close connection with the crystallographic group should be highly rewarding in terms of films and interfaces quality improvements. A necessary upgrading of the X-ray diffractometer equipment is currently made. Reciprocal space mapping, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the texture of the samples, the roughness will be obtained thusly. Simultaneously, the in-depth characterization of various properties (structure, microstructure, transport, orbital physics, Shubnikov-de Haas effect, …) will allow a better understanding of the rich physics of such systems, and developing novel materials. Also, viewing the demand of industrial partners for lighting, it is necessary to develop new deposition techniques like Atomic Layer Deposition which can be funded through the “Investissements d’avenir”. 2.4.2 Electronic Transport Properties The understanding of Electronic transport properties will be pursued using the available techniques that have been developed within the frame of several collaborations. For example, the work on superconducting vortex lattices will continue focusing on the two techniques in which we gain the strongest expertise. First, Small Angle Neutron scattering resolution that will be improved with the use of time of flight technique and of very small angle scattering, with the goal of extracting the correlation function of positional order, in collaboration with LLB/ENS and the institute Balseiro in Argentina specialized in real space snapshots of vortex lattices with magnetic decoration. Second, noise experiments will be applied to high Tc (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, YBa2Cu3O7) and low TC superconductors (Nb, NbSe2) to characterize and understand exotic states (coll: Lema Tours/ Neel Institute/ Tata Institute Bombay). The triptych consisting on non linear transport, electronic noise and angular galvanomagnetic measurements will be used to study low dimensional and/or disordered electronic oxides [thin films; natural quasi 1D oxide, coll: W. Kobayashi (Japan); 2D crystals oxides...] and the coupling between spins (ordering or fluctuations) and charges. We plan in particular to adapt a high resolution Hall probe with its amplification system for coupling the measure of magnetic flux noise with the electronic noise on small magnetic systems. Keeping the idea of size reduction, it is necessary to understand more in-depth the physics of nano-structured complex oxides. Different topics can be studied such as quantum effects as the Aharonov-Bohm effect, pure spin transport without charge transport, domain wall motion in magnetic oxides, among others. We will also investigate the properties of multilayers comprising a YBa2Cu3O7 film and a magnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 layer. The objective of the work is, on the one hand to study the effect of the magnetic field generated by the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 layer on the current voltage characteristics of the superconductor and, on the other hand, to investigate the possibility to change the magnetization of the magnetic film by current induced spin torque or domain wall motion. The aimed application is a cryogenic magnetic memory that could be included in superconducting electronics. To achieve this, the samples will be processed with the e-beam lithography tools of the CRISMAT to reach a lateral size in the range of 100 nm. The high resolution etching facilities will allow us to fabricate sub-micrometric devices, and a post-doctoral fellowship (INSPIRE-Marie Curie) is already devoted to this work. However, the e-beam lithography of oxides is much less developed as compared to semiconductors or metals. This is mostly due to the complexity of the etching step. 66 2.4.3 On the way towards the applications The understanding of the processes occurring in the YBCO phase will be applied to characterize and optimize the properties of coated conductors based devices. This work will be carried out on the one hand with the Laboratory in Electrical Energy of Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal (Pr.F. Sirois) and on the other hand with the LBTS of the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain (Pr. F. Vidal) with which we collaborate closely. Finally, the results on surface vortex pinning will be used to develop a superconducting transistor (patent under investigation). Second, the magneto electric (ME) materials which are very promising for the development of the next generation of memory devices or high sensitivity magnetic sensors will also be studied. To overcome the difficulty of weak effect at room temperature in single phase materials, ongoing researches aim at developing ferroelectric/ferromagnetic composites in which the ME coupling is stress mediated due to the piezoelectric and magnetostriction properties of each material, respectively. We are currently considering the structure made of Tb1-xDyxFe2-y (TERFENOL-D), which is a strongly magnetostrictive material, and Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT), a strong piezoelectric response. The background of the team in term of growth and characterization of PZT thin films on silicon substrate is actually a strong advantage for carrying investigations through this new research project. Thus, the researches start with the growth of TERFENOL-D/PZT thin films on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates in the frame of the PhD thesis of J. ZHU which started in October 2009. 67 2.5 Functional and Thermostructural Materials (FTM, E4) In order to develop a constructive project for the period 2012-2015, it seems first necessary to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the FTM team. A tentative evaluation can be given in the following table. Strong point Environment / Geographic position Industrial relationships Scientific outreach (publications, conferences,…) Industrial enhancements (patents) Average age of the team Affiliation between the thematics / Synergy Experimental facilities Human resources via industrial supports (postgraduate positions / CIFRE thesis) Technical staff Proportion of CNRS staff Confidentiality Neutral position Weakness X X X X X X X X facilities and human resources. Based on these consequent financial and technical supports, we are able to carry both fundamental and applied researches usually associated to publications and/or patents in different scientific fields; for instance, chemistry, physics, mechanics, microelectronic…where materials and systems are usually characterised by correlated mechanical, magnetic, electronic or thermal properties… In this scientific context, a collaborative research project can be drawn for the next four years, entitled: "Multiphysics properties and couplings in applicative materials" and declined in three main federative axes: - Material processes (nanostructured ceramics and metallic materials, new composite materials), - Analysis methodologies (nanostructural characterization equipments, electromagnetic local sensors for non destructive control needs), - Materials and systems (including new applicative materials for instance for RF applications, but also damage evaluation of materials systems thanks to electromagnetic methods and reliability tools). X X X The geographic dispersion (two sites) of the scientific members appears as the main weak point, with a lack of cooperation between the various thematics. Synergy and collaborative environment must be obtained thanks to better governance tools (creation of a team executive board, regular scientific manifestations inside the team…) Another standstill concerns the confidentiality agreements on many works with industrial partners. This often limits scientific communications via the publication or conference processes. One of the main consequences is the risk to progressively become providers for the industrial world, at the expense of the part of academic research. This must be compensated in the future by a better quality of our scientific publications (in particular publications in journals with higher impact factors) and an increase of co-authored patents. However, our team disposes of several significant assets, in particular industrial financial supports, important experimental 2.5.1 Material processes Related thematics: Functional ceramics Damage, and forming processes in metallic materials - Structural materials Nanostructured materials Nanostructured materials have received much attention in the recent years. Their appeal is their potential to display unusual physical and mechanical properties such as superplasticity in ceramics at elevated temperatures, transparency for usually opaque materials, controlled band gaps in electronic materials, very high magnetoresistive and superparamagnetic properties, and higher hardness and strength in both metals and ceramics. However, while commercial nanopowders offering these properties have now been produced successfully, sometimes in relatively large quantities, a number of challenges still need to be overcome if engineering parts are to be manufactured. Therefore there is considerable mileage to be gained by examining what can be achieved practically now using a ‘top down’ approach based on existing manufacturing facilities. If components can be produced 68 without loosing the nanostructure, there is the potential to use the materials for mechanical, thermal, magnetic, electric or electronic applications such as tools, wear and structural parts, magnets, capacitors, varistors and electronic substrates. The sintering of specific materials, such as nanostructured ceramics, nanocrystalline metals and nanocomposites requires to use and to develop particularly powerful techniques in terms of kinetics of sintering. Among these innovative techniques, the "Spark Plasma Sintering" (SPS) allows for sintering without the significant particle size growth that conventional techniques give 1 . The novel SPS technique thus opens up the possibility of sintering nanoparticle-sized ceramics in which the grain size after sintering still lies in the nanometric scale. It looks like a very promising technique and actually focuses an increasing interest in the field of the academic research and the industry. In addition, microwave radiation can be used as an alternative energy source for the processing of materials 2 , since it is well reported that this technique can produce the same spectacular behaviours than SPS, i.e. accelerated kinetics for a range of processes in ceramic, polymeric, and organic systems, enhanced sintering of ceramic powder compacts, including lower sintering temperatures, and rapid heating. The expertise of the CRISMAT laboratory, in such field of research, will offer to the project an invaluable advantage for understanding the processing of nanostructured materials. The correlation of SPS and microwave sintering is a big challenge opening new perspectives for the synthesis and processing of functional materials. Many families of nanoceramic materials have a great interest to be studied. We especially plan to investigate the effect of nanostructuration on electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of oxide and silicide thermoelectrics but also carbides (SiC or B4C) for mechanical and nuclear applications. On the other hand, nanocrystalline metallic materials processed by SPS will be studied with the aim to improve the knowledge of their physical properties and to design new nanocrystalline alloys with high mechanical properties 3,4 . The project will be mainly focused on ferromagnetic metals since new magnetic or electric properties are also needed for modern electronic applications 5 . To succeed in this project, CRISMAT offers a sophisticated array of characterization tools to assist researchers in nanotechnologies. TEM, STEM, and SEM microscopes are available to characterize materials from the structure to the nano- and –microstructures. (See transverse topics). Thermomechanical reliability Oxide thermoelectric ceramics - The microstructure of Ca3Co4O9 materials obtained by different sintering methods had been recently investigated in our team (Fig. 1) and correlated with electrical transport and mechanical properties. Figure 1: Scanning electron micrography of textured Ca3Co4O9 layerede compounds by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) In this work, hot pressing sintering and spark plasma sintering (SPS) experiments were performed with constant load during the dwell, in the same way as reported in the literature by others researchers. We are designing a new experimental set-up which allows the specimen thickness measurement during the dwell as it undergoes creeping. Thus, its true surface area can be evaluated and used to feed the control loop of the testing machine with the aim to apply a constant stress during the dwell. A homogeneous microstructure within the specimen volume is expected, with less defects and thus higher electrical and mechanical properties. In service these thermoelectric materials are submitted to important thermomechanical loadings in constant displacement conditions. Testing conditions will be defined to check their reliability in terms of thermal chock resistance and damage resistance to mechanical vibrations. Vegetal fibre-reinforced composites: the Mov’eo –promoted LINT project was launched on July 16, 2010. It associates six public research laboratories and three companies located in three Regions (Haute Normandie, 69 Basse Normandie and Bretagne Sud). The main objective of this project is to promote structural composite materials associating continuous flax fibres. Investigations of the thermomechanical behaviour of these composites raise some particular points in comparison with materials made of synthetic fibres. At first, vegetal fibres like flax show particular morphologies: non-circular area of the fibre cross-section and presence of a lumen (hollow area within the fibre), diameter variation along the fibre axis. That calls for new developments for the evaluation of usual physical and mechanical parameters: fibre diameter, Young’s modulus, effective stress. Another point is the very complex composition and nanostructure of the vegetal fibre, which can be seen as a composite made of concentric layers, each associating crystalline and amorphous compounds with their particular elasto-viscoplastic behaviour. The understanding of the structure of such fibres needs, on the one hand, sound structural data one can obtain from biochemical analyses (collaboration with the University of Rouen) and, on the other hand, a subsequent numerical approach. The particular morphology and the composition –structure of vegetable fibres are responsible for a huge dispersion of the physical and mechanical properties we investigate at present by using statistical methods. The understanding of that dispersion is a key point for ensuring the reliability of parts made of natural fibres. 2.5.2 Analysis methodologies development of algorithms, analytical modelling and understanding of physical interaction phenomena during electrical mode AFM, ionbeam microscopy, 2D and 3D localization techniques (X-ray, acoustic, magnetic). The team is involved in a new FUI collaborative research program dedicated to Through Silicon Vias. Whereas one the main partner (LETI – Grenoble) will take care of the process development of those TSV in very thin (down to several tens of nanometers) silicon substrate, we shall in parallel focus on the reliability problems of such complex systems, based on our defect analysis capabilities and experience of 3D system studies. For this purpose, it appears even more important to develop and improve the non-destructive analysis techniques available at the lab. Studying reliability-based test structures, the idea is to identify and characterize even at sub-micronic scale (with the help of available destructive techniques SEM, TEM, AFM) the different potential failure mechanisms in order to establish predictive models of 3D system reliability 6,7,8 . Magnetomechanical couplings A strong coupling exists between mechanical and magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials (Fig. 2). In order to better understand the physical mechanisms involved, with the practical aim of developing magnetic methods for nondestructive evaluation of the mechanical state, this research theme has received increasing attention in recent years. For instance, local sensors using Barkhausen noise detection have been developed thanks to their great magnetic sensitivity to local strain fluctuations 9 (Fig. 3). Related thematic: Damage, and forming processes in metallic materials - Microelectronic and microoptical systems Techniques of physical and electrical analyses of microelectronic materials and systems (development, modeling) Development of analysis methodology of applicative materials The growing complexity of semiconducting systems and related applicative materials goes with new challenges in analysis techniques. Materials dedicated to high frequency applications as well as the multiplicity of interfaces involving new materials rise new problems of analyses. Our research activities will thus concentrate on pushing up our available microand nanostructural characterization equipments based on the Figure 2: Evolution of the permeability with plastic strain for perlitic thin wires used in pneumatic automotive industry. 70 Figure 4: Voltage noise vs. stress for copper thin wires Figure 3: Barkhausen noise in plastically strained Nickel 10 Further works are still in progress for understanding the relationship between magnetic and micromechanical properties of ferromagnetic steels. The objectives are (1) the in situ damage monitoring on thermomechanically strained cast irons and (2) the scaling effects (low thicknesses) on the magnetomechanical couplings. Electromechanical couplings Strengthening, grain size effects, and dislocation densities evolution, can be conveniently studied thanks to the measurement of the electrical properties (resistivity and electrical noise). For instance, autopower spectra can be acquired during the tensile test of copper thin wires. The voltage noise at a low frequency of 10Hz is shown in the Fig. 4 as a function of the applied stress. Focusing on the change of the noise magnitude, a good correspondence between the variation of the voltage noise and the various stages of strengthening can be observed. Noise magnitude is related to the rate of change of dislocation density in the sample and to the resistivity noise contribution of the dislocations. For low stresses only one kind of dislocation exists, but at the stage II a second kind, the ones forming the cell walls, develops. The second increase of the noise magnitude is intermittent and present in the all spectrum. This increase in the white noise is a resistance effect, revealed after the necking and explained by the fact that local section of the wire decreases and small cracks start to develop just before the fracture. This part of the project concerns the development of local probes based on the previous phenomenon, built in order to study more finely the fracture of thin mechanical parts.This can be a promising non destructive evaluation tool of internal stresses. 2.5.3 Materials and Systems Related thematic: Structural materials – Damage and forming processes in metallic materials Microelectronic and microoptical systems - RF Communication systems Evaluation of materials for RF applications This project aims to analyze new potential use of materials for applications in the field of radio frequencies. This project involves several steps: - Identification of existing materials which can be deposited on semiconductor industry substrates. - Definition and implementation of test structures for material characterization at high frequency. - Microstructural characterization of deposited materials (TEM, SEM, AFM), defect identification and relationship with the RF electrical performance to be obtained. - Characterization of high frequency materials by measuring the complex impedance, the permittivity (ε) and permeability (μ) as a function of frequency. This is obtained from Sparameters that can be measured up to 110GHz LaMIPS. - Study of reliability of materials: ESD / OVS, temperature. Some potential applications are: - Electromagnetic shielding of encapsulated circuit or insulation between two RF circuits inside the same package by EM waves absorption. - Insulation in substrate between different components. - RF phase shifters. - Materials for ferroelectric tunable antenna. - Multiferroic materials for attenuators. - Variable Inductance and tunable filter based on ferroelectric materials. 71 Damage and forming processes Finding the optimal combinations for the mechanical properties of individual phases of multiphase steels can be quite challenging when a purely experimental approach is used. For instance, the use of nanoindentation tools can lead to the elaboration of the cartography of the microstructures (Fig. 5). Implementing these experiments in finite element models is an important challenge in order to understand the local mechanics and mechanisms governing the macroscopic behaviour of heterogeneous materials. Figure 5 : Cartography of local internal stresses obtained thanks to nanoindentation measurements on DP steels. Application to the simulation of bending. For instance, the material characterization of blanked parts in the vicinity of the cut edge can be carried out thanks to a nanoindentation technique correlated to a numerical inverse analysis [ACL-09-06]. However, the sensitivity of the numerical approach remains relatively low and new measurement tools are needed for the determination of the residual local stresses present in materials after their formability. Our project concerns the development of local electromagnetic sensors being able to access to local fluctuations of internal stresses. These components will use the couplings between magnetic, electrical and mechanical properties of metallic materials. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Z.J. Shen, M. Johnsson, Z. Zhao, M. NygrenJ. Amer. Ceram.

TEM studies are also focused on thin film and superlattices, MOF materials and so forth. STRENGHS - Unique concentration of material synthesis, structural characterization and the measurement of physical properties within one laboratory. Immediate correlation and combining of TEM results with XRD data, physical properties and many other techniques present at CRISMAT. - Solving complex modulated structures in bulk and thin film forms using wide variety of TEM techniques: electron diffraction (ED), energydispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), electron precision, high resolution TEM (HRTEM). - Facilities for low temperature down to helium temperatures, as well as for high temperature experiments allowing investigating structural, magnetic and electronic structural transformation for majority of novel materials. - Developed electron precession technique as tool to solve structure of complex nano materials using historical advantages of CRISMAT in deep knowledge of crystallography and ED technique. WEAKNESSES One main weakness can be allocated as follows: - The last five years evidence to upgrade our TEM facilities in different directions towards to CRISMAT activity and outside of CRISMAT material science interest. We certainly need to upgrade analytical TEM to some extend, and rise up to new level of HRTEM (new generation of aberration-corrected microscopes). TEM specimen preparation becomes absolutely important in this case. Some instrument upgrades have already done recently (specimen preparation equipment, HAADF detector) and some of are still in progress. PROJECT The interlink between material synthesis and physical properties measurements/structural characterization is probably shortest in the world at CRISMAT because it is solely determined by the distance between different locations inside one single building. Being part of such a fully integrated materials science lab is a dream and a big challenge for any microscopist doing material research. The microscopy can be seen as “in-situ” microscopy, in the sense that TEM results at atomic and mesoscopic levels can be directly correlated with materials synthesis and properties. The main goal for the period 2012-2015 is focused on the development of highly adaptive and efficient center of electron microscopy in framework of the existing CRISMAT laboratory and six centers of the national CNRS network for electron microscopy. The idea is not a competition with the existing microscopy center but rather complementing the existing infrastructure by determining an own outstanding position using advantages of CRISMAT laboratory. As mentioned above these advantages are combinations of world recognized chemistry, crystallography and physics groups within a single research centre. The main force of the microscopists in Caen lies in their common background in solid state chemistry and crystallography. The electron microscopes at the disposal of CRISMAT group allow solving most of the appearing structural and material research puzzles. However, the rising of novel techniques such as high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADFSTEM or Z-contrast), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), electron precision, aberration corrected microscopy has to be taken into account. Considering, the planned purchase of new Cs -corrected transmission electron microscope at CRISMAT in addition to the already existing microscopes [five TEM microscopes Jeol 200CX with EDX, tilt ±60º ; Topcon 02B with EDX, point resolution 1, 7A ; Tecnai G2 30 UT with EDX and point resolution 1.7A, and analytical “in-situ” 73 microscopy Jeol 2010 FEG with EDX, STEM and tilt ±42º, heating and cooling helium holders, Jeol 2010 with EDX, , tilt ±60º ]; and two SEM microscopes : Philips XL 30 FEG with EDS, and Zeiss supra 55 FEG with EDS, EBSD and WDS, and also the recent acquiring STEM corrected JEM-ARM200F of an analytical TEM equipped by EELS in Rouen, which is the CRISMAT partner in the "Institut de Recherche sur les Matériaux Avancés (IRMA)" (FR n°3095, CNRS), the hiring of a physicist, specialist of the up-to-date microscopy techniques, will be necessary in order to take advantage of all these potentialities including the use of new techniques and the interpretation of their results. Apparently a new generation of electron microscopes, aberration corrected, will bring us to qualitative new level of crystal structure characterization which is close to the physical limit of microscope resolution (0.5 A). This is extremely important for most of favourite materials produced at the CRISMAT laboratory including thin film and multilayer systems. It was reported recently that using the aberrationcorrected microscope technique, it is possible to detect cation-oxygen dipoles near 180 degrees domain walls in ferroelectric PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 material 1 . The width and dipole distortion across a wall were measured and on this basis the local polarization was calculated. Another example of powerful of aberration-corrected electron microscopy for interface structure has been shown in ref. 2 . The aberration-corrected TEM allowed to measure individual atomic shift in the interface with precision of a few picometers. It was found that the octahedral distortion leads to ferroelectricity-like dipole formation in the interface which is in addition modified by cation intermixing. Extremely important for wide range of soft materials is ability of aberration-corrected microscope to work at low voltage (60-80 kV) having an atomic resolution down to 1.4 A. This exists a wide range of materials from Li contents compound to hybrid materials ( Metal-Organic Framework - MOF) of interest owing to physical properties and application, and they are one of the topic of interest in CRISMAT. Recently published results 3 show that the visualization of Li atoms by using a developed aberration corrected microscope is not anymore a dream but the reality. They visualized Li atomic columns in LiV2O4 (Fig.1) by using a special ADF detector allowing to see light elements such as Li together with heavy ones. This result and our recent test experiment on aberration corrected microscope clearly motivate to have atomic resolution at low voltage conditions (60-80 kv) which is definitely extremely important for many of new materials of CRISMAT [See DNM (E1) and EM (E2) teams]. TEM techniques including high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) will be combined with analytical TEM techniques, such as energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX) and atomic number contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (Zcontrast STEM) to fully characterize materials down to the atomic level. Furthermore, other electron microscopy techniques, like electron precession, geometric phase analysis (GPA) required for the full characterization of the particular materials produced at the CRISMAT laboratory will be developed as well. Figure 1: HRTEM ABF images of LiV2O4 crystal viewing from the [110] direction. (a) A raw ABF image and (b) The processed ABF image. (c) atomic structure of LiV2O4 crystal schematically viewing from the [110] direction. . A unit of rhombic lattice is indicated by blue lines. The general approach of a solid state scientist is, first, to explore different synthesis schemes, that will evolve thereafter into the controlled processing of new materials exhibiting useful properties, such as ferroelectricity, thermoelectricity, magnetoresistance, etc. This whole process relies on the understanding of the structure/properties relationships in the materials that are studied and TEM being the appropriate technique. CRISMAT has 74 developed a strong expertise in conventional TEM (ED, HRTEM, EDX) which has been a powerful tool for the structural characterization of oxides. Combination of EDX with the reconstruction of reciprocal space from ED patterns can lead to the determination of the lattice parameters, symmetry elements and eventually the space group linked to the actual cationic composition. The cationic homogeneity can be verified with a high level of accuracy. HRTEM reveal the position of atoms and therefore can lead to a structural model. One can add that HRTEM is extremely powerful to detect subtle changes in the structure, as cationic or anionic ordering or point and extended defects. It is thus a good tool to detect new phases appearing as impurities in a matrix, in thin film form [in collaboration with FICS team (E3)]. These characterizations are very useful to determine the structure by combining with Xray and neutron diffraction data. In summary, TEM will be used to investigate micro structural characteristics of advanced materials at atomic and mesoscopic levels by means of using complementary conventional and analytical TEM techniques. Emphasis will be put on structural and chemical characterization of new thermoelectric, multiferroic and functional materials in bulk and in thin film form as well. The major objective of the microscopy group will be to correlate physical, chemical or mechanical properties of materials to their atomic structure and/or microstructure. 1 C.L.Jia et al Nature Materials 7 (1) (2008) 57-61 C.L.Jia et al Phys Rev B 79 (8) (2009) 081405 3 Y.Oshima et al Microsc.Microanal.16 (Suppl 2) (2010) 162-163 2 75 2.6.2 Theory Introduction The theoretical activities at CRISMAT are and will be primarily focused on the interplay between the structure and composition of the new materials synthesized in the lab and their physical properties. They build on data provided by local performed experiments, and aim both at understanding peculiar properties and at suggesting routes to optimize a particular class of compounds with respect to a given goal, such as thermoelectricity, superconductivity or multiferroics. Our future activities will keep on being integrated in this experiment-theory feedback process on a day-to-day basis. General objectives Most of the systems synthesized at CRISMAT are transition metal oxides and thus belong to the strongly correlated family, that is materials in which the electronic correlation may be dominant over the delocalization processes. This gave rise to major breakthroughs in condensed matter physics (high Tc superconductivity, colossal magneto-resistance, or more recently large thermoelectric power in metals, etc.). As these phenomena are very sensitive to various external parameters it is of crucial importance to understand the interplay between the structure and composition of the materials and their physical properties. For strongly correlated systems the usual first principle methods such as density functional theory encounter strong difficulties to describe the low energy properties (magnetism, gaps, etc.). Thus, while these methods may provide useful informations with a reasonable accuracy (as for instance structural information or Fermi surface shape), one nevertheless needs to rely on other methods such as model Hamiltonians for the understanding of the properties directly associated with the strongly correlated character of the materials. The understanding of the structure-property relationship thus results into a two step problem. Indeed, one should first identify the relevant degrees of freedom capturing the low energy physics and their interactions, as well as quantify them according to the particular structure and composition of the materials under consideration, and second one should study the physical properties embodied in the previously determined models (thermodynamic, transport, magnetic properties, phases diagram, etc.). These two steps are complementary but require quite different techniques and expertise. One of the strength of the CRISMAT theory project is to have specialists of both steps: • Specialists of the ab initio treatment of strong electronic correlation that are able to extract, from very precise calculations on embedded fragments, the relevant degrees of freedom, and quantify their interaction as a function of the specific structure and composition of the materials. • Specialists of the treatment of effective models in order to relate the different properties embodied in the latter to the observed experimental properties (such as transport or magnetic properties as a function of temperature or magnetic field). The efforts of the theoretical activities at CRISMAT will both be devoted to the newest materials synthesized in the laboratory and to better established problems following from more in-depth studies. At the same time we will develop methodologies and techniques suitable to reach our goals. In addition to having restricted access to powerful computers our main weakness is that we strongly depend on external collaborations as we form a small team. This forces us to focus on a restricted set of approaches and topics. Recent achievements Accordingly our activities have been spanned over a number of topics. In particular we reasonably successfully described the temperature dependence of the thermopower of some electron-doped manganites [ACL-07-02] and hole-doped delafossites [ACL-09-65], the insulating nature of striped nickelates [ACL-09106] (see Fig. 1), the charge and Cooper pair modulations of some High Temperature Superconductors compounds [ACL-07-81], the resummation of the world lines contributing to the partition function and Green's function in a slave boson path integral representation [ACL07-33], the mechanisms correlating applied constraints and magnetic properties [ACL-1035], the electronic structure of several 76 delafossites [ACL-08-28, ACL-08-29], or of spin chain compounds such as Ca3FeRhO6 [ACL-07-32], or V2O3 thin films [ACL-09103]. We also set up a new ab initio determination scheme of magnetic coupling between atoms with numerous open shells [ACL-08-38, ACL-09-33]. Figure 1: Total spin majority/minority density of states for La5/3Sr1/3NiO4. The results are obtained by the EECE approach, using a Gaussian broadening of 0.07 eV. The latter is responsible for the non-zero density of states seen at the Fermi energy. Perspectives • Apparent Fermi Liquid state As we recently showed hole-doped delafossites such as CuRh1-xMgxO2 exhibit an Apparent Fermi Liquid (AFL) state above room temperature [ACL-09-65]. The AFL can be observed above the degeneracy temperature, which is always larger than the breakdown temperature of Fermi Liquid Theory. Yet, the 2 AFL may be characterized by a T -resistivity, and a T-linear thermopower which extrapolates to S0 for T→0. This behavior of the thermopower is also observed in several other classes of compounds, including misfit cobaltites and electron-doped manganites, which are all promising materials for thermoelectricity. This motivates us to seek for its microscopic origin in details, as, e.g., a better understanding of S0 may lead to new routes for thermoelectricity. More specifically we would like to understand why and under which 2 conditions the transport time may vary as T in a system which Fermi surface disappeared due to thermal smearing. The temperature dependence of the life time will be investigated as well, both in the Fermi liquid and the Apparent Fermi liquid states, and in the various crossover regimes. Our findings will be put to experimental test, both on the level of thermodynamical quantities, and spectroscopy (see the Physics project). • Multiferroic materials In order to improve multiferroic properties progress in the understanding the fundamental concepts underlying the magneto-electric coupling are required. A lot of work is being done on this subject, essentially along the Landau theory and symmetry research line or ferroelectricity onset using DFT calculations. Can our specific expertise help us bringing new insight on the subject? Indeed we are one of the few groups in the world that is able to compute exchange integrals explicitly treating both 3d shells, strong electronic correlation, and screening effects; due to our recent methodological developments [ACL-08-38, ACL-09-33] we can do so on systems with more than two opened shells per atom. This expertise will allow us to tackle the problem of magnetoelectric coupling along a different approach by directly computing the variation of the magnetic couplings under an applied electric field. This knowledge will give us a direct access on the magnetoelectric coupling, the different microscopic mechanisms underlying it and their relative strength. We thus intend to study a few typical examples of different classes of materials with magnetoelectric coupling (type I or spin-induced multiferroics with commensurate or incommensurate magnetic ordering) such as YMnO3, MnWO4, CuO etc. Once again this work will be a collaboration between theoreticians and experimentalists and the theoretical predictions will be put at test with experimental measurements on the magnetoelectric couplings (See E1, DNM project). • High Tc superconductors High Tc superconductors have attracted a lot of work for the last thirty years, however despite a lot of efforts the international community still does not agree on the microscopic coupling mechanism for the Cooper pairs. Indeed, one see large controversy between many models such as circulating currents, stripes, magnetic interactions, pure BCS phonons pairing, etc. Even though the magnetic coupling between copper atoms has been widely studied and its 77 amplitude is well known, the other parameters involved in the above models have not been much studied. For instance it would be of great interest to know the relative amplitude of the parameters in a two or three band Hubbard model. Our group is one of the few in the world that are able to quantitatively determine the effective interactions underlying all these models. We thus plan to do so in order to help in screening between the different proposed interpretation of the pairing. • Control of magnetic properties through the control of orbital order The control of material properties, such as magnetic, transport, dielectric properties, by means of artificial structures design, is one of the long term objectives of material science (See FICS team E3). Thin films synthesis techniques offer multiple possibilities for the design of ad hoc artificial structures however one its the major limitations is the lack of reliable theories, able to guide the conception of such structures. We propose to develop simple and predictive models to describe the way substrate constraints affect the physical properties of a specific class of materials. We will focus on superlattices built from materials with orbital degeneracy. Indeed, not only these materials present interesting magnetic and electronic properties but the degeneracy of the transition-metal ions d orbitals renders makes them extremely sensitive to any modification of their surrounding. We made a recent breakthrough [ACL-10-35] in the understanding of the mechanisms correlating applied constraints and magnetic properties. This preliminary work provided us with a line of thought along which we will explore the possibility of magnetic and transport control in manganite based superlattices. The theoretical explorations should allow us to test the effect of each constraint separately and thus built a reliable model of their effects. • Extended models On the longer run we are planing to investigate on a larger scale the crossed influence of the crystal field and the lattice structure on magnetism and (dynamical) transport quantities. Indeed, while they are rather well understood for cubic perovskites, they need to be fully reconsidered for less symmetric systems. This task seems tremendous, but models can be derived from the above mentioned ab initio calculations. Besides, this includes situations where excitonic excitations may play an important role. To that aim, combination of the slave boson approach together with the TICR approximation to the thermopower will be worked out, helping to better understand the conditions necessary for a large thermopower. If needed, further methodological developments will be performed in particular when searching for new inhomogeneous phases such as the ones arising in LVO/SVO superlattices (see the FICS project E3). This includes a better understanding of broken symmetry states that may be hidden in numerical simulations of model Hamiltonians. While they may not arise when performing the simulations of symmetric Hamiltonians, we shall make efforts to quantify the action of the symmetry restoring modes on such states in order to understand under which conditions they may be realized. 78 2.6.3 Physics Strengths • • • • Scientific expertise on the following properties: magnetism, transport, specific heat, dielectric constant and polarization, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity Large range of complementary experimental facilities, to work on bulk, crystals and thin films, from 2K to 400K and up to 14T. High T experiments up to 1000K for magnetization, resistivity and thermopower Collaborations to obtain complementary results, both from experiments (neutron diffraction at LLB, ILL, spectroscopy experiments with Köln, low T measurements (Institut Néel) and with theoreticians Strong interplay with the scientists in charge of synthesis and structural characterization Weaknesses • Increasing number of topics : needs for being more specific • Difficulty to find PhD students; FR IRMA, SOPRANO ITN and the Erasmus Mundus II networks should help in improving the situation Risks • Technical and scientific problems due to the exploration of a new research area (Development towards nanostructured materials) The Solid State Physics group is working in close connection with the other groups of the laboratory to investigate the physics of the transition metal oxides synthesized mostly within the laboratory. From an historical point of view, after superconductivity and vortex physics in the high Tc superconductors, colossal magnetoresistance in manganese oxides at the end of the 1990’s, thermoelectric, multiferroïc and magnetocaloric oxides have been investigated more recently. Besides these activities, magnetic and transport properties of the newly discovered oxides are systematically investigated to better understand the interplay between the structure and electronic and magnetic properties, focusing on materials with frustration, low dimensionality, strong correlations and disorder. These studies are enabled through the close collaboration with the solid state chemists who synthesize a rich variety of crystallographic structures, leading to a tuning of the properties through the structure, and with the thin films group to investigate the effect of reduced dimensionality and pressure effects induced by the substrate. Also, non oxide materials are used to study properties such as superconductivity or magnetocaloric effect. The activities on non oxide materials will be developed in connection with the arrival of a new lecturer in E2. These properties are investigated mostly from an experimental point of view, but also from a theoretical one, with one theoretician in the group (see ‘Theory project). For the experimental studies, the group is using 4 PPMS systems and 3 SQUID magnetometers from Quantum Design, working between 2K and 400K, for a maximum field of 14T. Also two other commercial set-ups are used to measure Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity up to 1000K. These instruments are used with commercial options (like AC and DC susceptibility or specific heat in PPMS), but the group also develops its own options, like noise measurements, dielectric constant and polarization measurements. The development of these set-ups is now achieved and this enables a detailed investigation of phenomena such as non linear transport in low dimensional systems through noise measurements or multiferroïc coupling investigation, two activities which will be continued. For the next four years, the different projects on multiferroïcity, superconductivity, thermoelectric and magnetocaloric materials have been presented in the four ‘Axes thématiques’. Here, beyond these projects, we propose to give more details about the two following projects: first, developing and reinforcing our activity on low dimensional systems, and second, investigating the phase diagram of our materials by adding the pressure as an external parameter, complementary to field H, and to temperature T. The low dimensional systems we are interested in can be investigated as single crystals or thin films, and even polycrystalline samples as a first approach for Seebeck measurements. 79 The interest in these low dimensional systems comes from the variety of properties they present. Reduced dimensionality leads to interesting magnetic properties, as for example the suppression in some cases of long range magnetic ordering for d < 3 (d = dimensionality). These properties can be investigated in different layered systems, with square or triangular geometry, or 1D systems. The misfits are a good example of this kind of materials, with a layered structure made of triangular lattice, in which the cations (Co, Rh…) can be changed into more magnetic ones (like Cr), and in which the spacing between these layers can be adjusted by playing with the number of rock salt layers (See DNM team E1). The interlayer and intralayer couplings can therefore be adjusted and their impact on magnetism will be studied. In the case of magnetocaloric materials, the anisotropy can induce strong differences in the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and the angular dependence of this effect will be studied. Also, by using superlattices, the influence of the exchange interactions and anisotropy on the MCE will be investigated. For transport properties, reduced dimensionality can induce charge or spin density waves as in 2D tungsten bronzes. Also, up to now, 1D transport properties have not been observed in oxides, and a more systematic investigation of the anisotropy of transport properties in these low dimensional oxides will be performed to understand why 1D is not observed. Collaborations with Institut Néel will be pursued to measure properties at ultra low T. Reduced dimensionality also has a strong impact on the Seebeck coefficient. As proposed by Dresselhaus et al. [Hicks et al., PRB47, 12727 (1993)], the reduction of dimensionality should induce a large increase of the Seebeck coefficient through the modification of the density of states. Moreover, it has been shown that reducing the dimensionality has also a strong impact on thermal properties [see for example Hochbaum et al. Nature 451, 163 (2008)]. These effects have now been investigated in details in different ‘classical’ materials (SiGe, Bi2Te3…), and it seems that the thermal conductivity effect is dominant. However, only a few studies have been devoted to oxides (figure 1) with a promising but most probably overestimated enhancement of ZT. We plan to investigate this dimensionality effect by working with different systems, in natural low dimensional structures, such as hollandites [Kobayashi et al., PRB79, 085207 (2009)], a family in which both p and n type materials can be found (with EM Team E2), or in artificial low dimensional systems such as thin films and superlattices (with FICS Team E3). An experimental effect will be made towards the development of thermal conductivities measurement set-ups dedicatd to small single crystals or thin films. It should be mentioned that the general coupled transport problem and its out of equilibrium thermodynamics is also investigated, and this approach will be used to investigate the 2D electron gas in SrTiO3. Figure 1: Seebeck coefficient as a function of the thickness of SrTi0.8Nb0.2O3 in superlattices of SrTiO3/SrTi0.8Nb0.2O3 [from Ohta et al., Nature Materials 6, 129 (2007)] By using the newly installed clean room facilities, nanostructuration of these oxides can be performed. Besides the fundamental interest, these facilities will provide a new tool to investigate the anisotropy of the properties by using well defined contact geometry. The second project is focused on the use of hydrostatic pressure to modify the magnetotransport properties. The materials we are working on are highly sensitive to external parameters such as temperature or magnetic field. It is well known that pressure can also strongly modify the phase diagram as was shown for example in the case of phase separated systems such as manganites. Pressure will be used in that case to destabilize these different electronic phases. In close connection with the crystallography project, the correlation between the evolution of magnetism and crystallographic structure as a function of pressure will be investigated. This can enable a precise determination of the evolution of the magnetic exchange interactions. Also pressure can be used to destabilize charge or orbital ordered states, as shown recently in Sr2VO4 80 [Zhou et al., PRB81, 212401 (2010)], and this can be of particular importance in the case of low dimensional or frustrated systems. In 2D tungsten bronzes, the transition temperature of charge density waves can be largely increased with pressure but the underlying mechanisms are not clearly established. Strong coupling with the crystallographic investigation under pressure will allow to clarify these important parameters. Finally, in the case of thin films, the pressure induced by the substrate is responsible for strong modifications of the electronic properties. The use of hydrostatic pressure on bulk materials will permit a comparison with the results obtained with thin films, and a more quantitative analysis of these results. Obviously, the chemical pressure will also be used as a third way to investigate the role of this perturbation on the properties. 81 2.6.4 Cristallography Transverse Opportunities Experimenting with Rays (TOWER) When PRESENT Crystallography forms the CRISMAT bedrock. Originally oriented towards structural determination of new phases using singlecrystal X-ray diffraction, Crystallography at CRISMAT extends now to many more activities. STRENGTHS - Ab-initio resolution of aperiodic structures (modulated, incommensurate, disordered …) using the super space formalism (DeWolff, Acta Cryst. A30 (1974) 777): O. Pérez (ACL-07-76E2, Eur J Inorg Chem 20, 2006, 4168) - X-ray diffraction under high-pressure, using synchrotron radiation: A-C. Dhaussy (ACL-0932-E2, ACL-07-47-E4) - Ab-initio structure determination using high resolution X-ray or neutron powder diffraction: N. Barrier (ACL-09-05-E1, ACL-09-95-E1) - Combined analysis (residual stresses, texture, microstructure, phase, structure, reflectivity …) of real materials (thin films or bulks, natural or synthetic): D. Chateigner (ACL-08-83-E4, ACL-10-13-E4) - Large facilities: synchrotron (ESRF and SOLEIL) and neutron (ILL) beamlines are our complementary tools, and we develop new methodologies there. - transversality : A quick look at the ISI bibliographic database for 2006-2010 reveals a total of 83 co-authored publications (including the activities of D. Grebille and A. Leclaire). further enhanced by the teaching activities lying to three of us. - The last period evidenced our diffraction instruments obsolescence, though some instrument upgrades are in progress. However, these upgrades will not be able to fulfil our development projects. Figure 1: Schematic drawing of NH4Fe2(PO4)2 removing both [Fe2P2O10]∞ zigzag ribbons and NH4+ species, from diffuse scattering signal and superspace structural resolution Chosing two examples among the main breakthroughs obtained in these last four years, one could mention the complex disorder deciphering using diffuse scattering and super space formalism (ACL-07-76-E2, Figure 1), and the development of the magnetic quantitative texture analysis (ACL-10-14-E4, Figure 2). WEAKNESSES Two main weaknesses might be emphasised: - Following A. Leclaire's retirement (director of research at CNRS) and D. Grebille's death (professor at ENSICAEN), the staff number became clearly sub-critical, a research weakness Figure 2: Nuclear (top) and magnetic moments (bottom) pole figures of a Fe-Si compound under magnetic field of 0.3T. The magnetic field axis is the center of the pole figures 82 PROJECT The project developed here (in two parts) should warrant the progress of topics inherent to crystallographic and related fields, in consistency and high reactivity with the different aspects of the chemistry and physics of the CRISMAT's orientations. Obviously, the future orientations of crystallographers will be related to their expertise: structural and microstructural determinations and analyses. Part 1: Structural determination under different environments (low or high temperatures, pressures, electric fields … measurements) and/or dynamic analyses (i.e. in situ monitoring of charge/discharge processes, spectroscopic characterisations and stroboscopic studies). Instrumental development to upgrade the existing diffractometers (essentially high and cryo temperature chambers for 2-circles diffractometers and gas blower systems efficient from 80K to 1000K for 4-circles diffractometers) becomes crucial. Functionalities of materials are often related to phase transitions under external sollicitations. Structural studies above, below and during phase transition, with simultaneous determination of the physico-chemical properties is essential to the understanding of the mechanisms implied and then to the final optimization of the compounds. XRF, Raman, FTIR … are as many spectroscopies that one can operate simultaneously with structural determinations. The phase transitions can be associated to peculiar diffraction phenomena (appearance of diffuse scattering related to correlated disorder or additional Bragg reflections related to new periodicities, domain reorientations …). Aperiodic crystalline states (related to charge density waves, vacancies ordering …) can then be evidenced. Encompassing incommensurate modulated structure, incommensurate composite compounds and quasicrystals, such crystal states are found in a large variety of systems (single elements under pressure, minerals, oxides, superconductors, ferroelectrics, charge density wave compounds, organic molecular compounds, complex metallic alloys …). Their atomic structure can be accurately determined using the unifying framework of the superspace or high-dimensional description of aperiodic crystals. Both the influence of the long range aperiodic order on physical properties and the nature of the driving force responsible for the formation of aperiodic long range-order and its propagation when the crystal forms remain a challenging question. Correlated disorder can be observed associated to these aperiodicities or as an integrant part of a pre-transitional phase. The resulting diffuse scattering provides important information to decipher the effect of the disorder in the materials. But satellite reflections (observed for aperiodicities) and diffuse scattering (observed for correlated disorders) correspond to very weak scattering phenomena. The data collection of such weak effects, generally appearing in between intense Bragg reflections, remains problematic since it requires both high resolution detector with high dynamic range and high flux X-ray source ... the improvement of the signal/noise ratio is fundamental. But crystalline materials can be also locally modified by distortions or defects. Crystallographic analysis of diffraction data based on Bragg peaks measurement is powerless to elucidate these non periodic faults. Pair distribution function, originally developed to study amorphous materials, is an effective tool to obtain a local view of a real compound; it provides a multiscale knowledge of the structure of a material. This technique appears as an interesting and complementary development for the group. Part 2: Study of nano materials or materials architectured at a nano scale. Owing to surface or interface stresses, the structure of objects with nano metric dimensions could exhibit enough modifications compared to unstressed materials, to exhibit new properties like multiferroicity (Lee and Rabe, PRL 104, 2010, 207204). Consequently, high resolution crystallographic analyses of thin films or/and super lattices, or hetero structures, remains challenging both from a structural (atomic positions) and microstructural (texture, residual stresses, interfaces quality …) points of view. The residual stresses argument at interfaces is often outlined to explain the appearance of such novel properties. However, quantitative studies to reveal such stresses and their significance in the targeted phenomena are still an experimental desire, in particular under various environments. Most of the time, the argument is formulated without experimental fact. The development and the generalization of the use of high resolution diffraction methods, able to provide the required information, is particularly suited in front of the new cleanroom acquisition by the FICS E3 team 83 for a better control of the architectures. Here acute crystallographic measurements will be an essential asset in the understanding of the properties at the nano scale. Environmented measurements, as discussed in the first part, are relevant to obtain such information, using high brilliance sources, high signal/noise multidimensional detectors, high resolution goniometers. This hopefully is no longer a scientific dream, but an industrial reality at a very few prototyping efforts. Diffraction industries provide setup with such characteristics, able to operate combined SAXSWAXS experiments within high resolutions in 4-circles diffractometers, PDF and Tomography included. We are at the time where very versatile instruments exist, at a laboratory level, with unexpected qualities that would deserve our works at large facilities for a more efficient coupling. The acquisition of such instruments would realise an unprecedenting opportunity to complement our CRISMAT tools (TEM, electron precession, HRTEM), placing the laboratory and local collaborators at the forefront of crystallography-related science. We are already starting to incorporate x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and PDF analysis to the combined analysis approach. Methodologically, our softwares are ready to accept many other implementations. We are simply missing the available tools for the measurements. The proposed project is not a road to Damascus … it defines new ambitious goals repositioning the crystallographers in the centre of thematic of the laboratory but integrating all the experiences and the existing instruments of the group. 84 3 Publications and productions Source: ISI Web of KnowledgeSM / Web of Science Codification des publications et productions ACL : Articles dans des revues internationales ou nationales avec comité de lecture répertoriées par l’AERES ou dans les bases de données internationales (ISI Web of Knowledge, Pub Med…).

L’unité accueille tous les ans environ 90 élèves ingénieurs de la spécialité Matériaux. Le degré de complexité de ces projets va croissant depuis la première année, qui est réellement une initiation au travail de recherche jusqu’à la troisième année au cours de laquelle les élèves ingénieurs réalisent un véritable travail de recherche parfois en collaboration avec un industriel. Tous ces projets sont encadrés par des chercheurs ou des enseignants chercheurs de l’unité. Outre cette implication dans l’enseignement de l’ENSICAEN, l’unité accueille également des étudiants des Master 1 et Master 2 de l’Université de Caen/Basse-Normandie. Ces stages ont une durée de 11 semaines pour les étudiants de Master 1 et une durée de six mois pour les étudiants du Master 2 à finalité recherche. Environ une dizaine d’étudiants sont accueillis, chaque année, ces étudiants bénéficient également de l’encadrement des enseignants chercheurs ou des chercheurs de l’unité. L’unité accueille également des doctorants (environ 40 sont présents en 2010) ainsi que des étudiants français ou étrangers pour des stages post-doctoraux (une quinzaine sont présents en 2010). Responsabilité de formation L’implication forte de l’unité dans la formation par la recherche se traduit par une prise de responsabilité dans les formations du cursus LMD d’un nombre important d’enseignantschercheurs de l’unité. Parmi les plus importantes responsabilités on peut citer : - Jean-François Hamet, professeur : Directeur général adjoint de l’ENSICAEN responsable de la formation. Membre du CNU 33éme section. - Sylvain Marinel, professeur : Responsable du Master professionnel : contrôle de l’environnement industriel de l’UCBN.

D'une superficie totale de 5 786 m2 il est réparti sur deux bâtiments de l'ENSICAEN. 1 Accidents du travail 3 accidents mineurs sont à déclarer. Le premier concerne une brûlure à une main. Le deuxième concerne un malaise et le troisième une chute dans un couloir. Bien que sans gravité, ces 3 accidents ont été analysés. Des améliorations et des informations complémentaires ont été apportées aux situations concernées. 2 Risques spécifiques 2.1 Risques chimiques Les produits utilisés sont principalement des poudres qui servent à l'élaboration de matériaux nouveaux : oxydes de cuivre, oxydes de manganèse, oxydes à base de fer, cobalt et nickel, phosphates de métaux de transitions, matériaux diélectriques. L'alcool éthylique est utilisé pour la préparation des céramiques, l'acétone étant utilisé uniquement pour le nettoyage du matériel. 2.2 Risques électriques Chaque membre du laboratoire est en permanence utilisateur d'appareils électriques : micro-ordinateurs, imprimantes, fours, balances, appareils de mesure, magnétomètres ...... Les appareils sous HT (microscopes électroniques, générateurs de rayons X, bâti de pulvérisation de dépôt de couches minces) sont utilisés par un nombre plus limité de personnel. 2.3 Risques liés au laser Le laboratoire possède des lasers à eximères à émission dans l'ultraviolet nécessaire au dépôt de couches minces. 2.4 Risques liés aux champs magnétiques intenses La caractérisation physique des matériaux nécessite l'utilisation de champs magnétiques allant jusqu'à 14 Teslas. Risques liés au rayonnement X et à la radioactivité Le laboratoire possède un spectromètre Mössbauer à source radioactive scellée de type 57Co d’une activité de 3,7GBq maximum. D’autre part, les études structurales des matériaux nécessitent des générateurs de rayons X. 3 Dispositions mises en œuvre en fonction des risques. Priorités retenues Sur la période 2007-2010, les priorités ont plus spécialement été portées sur la poursuite de la réorganisation fonctionnelle du laboratoire commencée en 2004 en portant bien sûr, une attention toute particulière à la sécurité. Cette vaste réorganisation a permis notamment de ranger, de trier et d’éliminer tous les matériels et produits qui ne sont plus utilisés dans le laboratoire. Plusieurs salles ont fait l’objet d’importants travaux de réhabilitation. Ce réaménagement est à l’heure actuelle bien avancé mais n’est pas complètement achevé. 3.1 Risques chimiques Le port de masques, de gants et de blouses est obligatoire pour toutes manipulations. Des affiches rappelant les "Consignes pour la manipulation des poudres" sont apposées dans chaque laboratoire faisant ce type de manipulation. Une campagne sur la gestion des déchets a débuté en 2006 notamment en améliorant le tri des déchets et leur élimination. Un inventaire des produits du laboratoire effectué sur la période 2008-2010 a permis de ne conserver que les produits utilisés par le laboratoire. Le stockage des produits chimiques a nettement été amélioré au cours de cette période. Ce n’est pas moins de 15 armoires spécifiques pour ce stockage qui ont été acquises par le laboratoire. Les sorbonnes du laboratoire ont été révisées par un spécialiste. Les moteurs de ventilations défectueux ont été remplacés sur 6 sorbonnes. Le laboratoire s’est aussi équipé de boîtes à gants pour les synthèses spécifiques. Il ya actuellement 3 boîtes à gants opérationnelles. Pour les autres préparations à base de poudre, les salles de préparations ont été équipées de « 171 petites sorbonnes » en plexiglass de fabrication maison. 3.2 Risques électriques Les installations électriques sont vérifiées tous les ans par la SOCOTEC. Depuis 2005, Mr Guillaume Renouf, technicien CNRS du laboratoire, est habilité pour effectuer des vérifications électriques et certaines interventions sur nos installations. 3.3 Risques liés au laser Dans le cadre d’un réaménagement du laboratoire, les lasers ont été rassemblés dans une seule et grande salle (les anciens et les nouveaux dernièrement acquis). Cette nouvelle salle, outre qu’elle présente des garanties au niveau de la propreté, présente aussi des garanties supplémentaires en termes de sécurité puisqu’isolée dans un espace dédié qui permet de filtrer plus facilement le personnel. Le local est balisé, le port de lunettes spéciales de protection est obligatoire. Chaque utilisateur porte bien sûr une paire de lunette mais des lunettes sont aussi accrochées devant la porte d’entrée pour les personnes devant absolument entrer pendant le fonctionnement d’un laser. Une lumière rouge interdit l'entrée lorsque l'appareil est en fonctionnement. Le faisceau est protégé. Cette salle est équipée d’une armoire ventilée pour les bouteilles de gaz. 3.4 Risques liés aux champs magnétiques intenses Le local est balisé, une lumière rouge interdit l'entrée lorsque l'appareil fonctionne. Les risques sont signalés sur la porte. 3.5 Risques liés au rayonnement X et à la radioactivité M. Nicolas Barrier est la personne compétente en radioprotection du laboratoire depuis le 17 mars 2006. Dans le cadre du réaménagement du laboratoire, les appareils à diffraction X ont été rassemblés dans une même zone géographique du laboratoire afin de rationaliser leur utilisation. Le local du spectromètre Mössbauer est balisé, fermé à clé. La source active est enfermée dans un château de plomb de 5 cm d'épaisseur. Les sources anciennes sont reprises par le fournisseur suivant le cahier des charges. Depuis 2005, le laboratoire CRISMAT a porté ses efforts sur la mise en conformité des appareils produisant des rayons X. A ce jour tous les appareils utilisant des rayons X ont été mis en conformités. Les appareils nouvellement sont bien sûr aux normes en vigueur. Ces pièces spéciales sont balisées. Les sécurités sont vérifiées régulièrement afin d'éviter toute fuite. Le laboratoire est équipé d’un détecteur babyline pour le contrôle régulier de nos appareils. Les utilisateurs des appareils RX ont été équipés de dosimètres individuels. Ces multiples contrôles ont montré que nos installations respectaient les normes. 3.6 Risques d'incendie Le laboratoire, faisant partie de l'ENSICAEN, est régulièrement visité par la commission de sécurité du District du Grand Caen. En 2005, d’importants travaux de mise en conformité incendie ont été réalisés dans les laboratoires de l’ENSICAEN. Le laboratoire s’est équipé de 2 couvertures anti-feu. En 2009, 21 agents du laboratoire ont été formés aux premiers gestes au feu Conclusion : Depuis 2005 où a commencé un vaste chantier de réorganisation fonctionnelle du laboratoire, une mise à jour en profondeur au niveau sécurité du laboratoire a été opérée en paralléele. Maintenant, tous les nouveaux besoins d’équipement font l’objet d’une analyse des moyens nécessaires pour garantir la sécurité. Exemple : achats effectués dans le cadre de la réhabilitation en 2010 d’une salle pour le développement de composants thermoélectrique : sorbonne, paillasses, armoire de stockage de produits chimiques. 4 Fonctionnement des structures d'hygiène et de sécurité COMITÉ d'HYGIÈNE et SÉCURITÉ M. Benoît Hervieu est ACMO du laboratoire depuis le mois de novembre 2005. Le laboratoire CRISMAT, faisant partie de l'ENSICAEN, s'en remet aux décisions du comité d'hygiène et sécurité de cet établissement. L’ENSICAEN a recruté en 2005 un Ingénieur Hygiène et Sécurité. 172 Au cours des conseils de laboratoire, l’ACMO est invité à faire le point sur la sécurité du laboratoire. 5 Dispositions mises en œuvre pour la formation des personnels et notamment des nouveaux entrants (y compris stagiaires, doctorants…) Tout nouvel entrant est accueilli par l’ACMO. Au cours de cette entrevue, l’ACMO lui transmet les informations générales sur son futur environnement de travail et le sensibilise sur les risques liés aux activités exercées aux seins du laboratoire. L’ACMO renseigne la personne sur les mesures de sécurité générales du laboratoire prises pour assurer la sécurité des personnels mais il informe aussi l’agent des contraintes de sécurité qu’il doit respecter ( par exemple , nécessité de travailler à deux personnes minimums, autorisation nécessaire du directeur pour venir travailler à des horaires non standards… Tout nouvel arrivant se voit remettre un manuel de sécurité, un résumé sur les consignes générales de sécurité et le règlement lié à l’utilisation des badges d’accès aux bâtiments de l’ENSICAEN où se situe le laboratoire CRISMAT. Ces documents sont en français et en anglais. Chaque responsable d’un "entrant est chargé de l’informer sur les risques spécifiques liés aux activités précises que pratiquera le nouvel entrant. Une demi-journée sécurité est organisée annuellement. Différents agents, ayant un rôle dans la sécurité dans le laboratoire, intervienne au cours de cette journée. La dernière demi journée a été réalisée en mars 2009. La prochaine est prévue en septembre/ octobre 2010. Cette demi-journée est obligatoire pour tous les nouveaux entrants. Régulièrement, l’ACMO diffuse par e-mail à l’ensemble du personnel les nouvelles informations de sécurité ou émet des messages de rappel quand cela est nécessaire. 6 Problèmes de sécurité qui subsistent Le réaménagement du laboratoire commencé depuis 2005 est bien avancé mais pas complètement terminé. Ce réaménagement est constamment accompagné d’une réflexion sur l’hygiène et la sécurité. Il faut donc continuer cette réflexion pour les derniers locaux qui restent à aménager. Une fois la réorganisation des locaux achevée, il est prévu de refaire une analyse complète des modes opératoires pour avoir une nouvelle vision des risques du laboratoire. Cette analyse fera l’objet de nouvelle rédaction de fiches de postes et très certainement d’un complément au niveau de l’affichage de sécurité du laboratoire. Il est prévu de mener à bien cette réflexion en collaboration avec les utilisateurs et tout particulièrement avec les référents des équipements ou des différentes salles de préparation et d’expériences du laboratoire.
