Our researches focus on the experimental study of the properties of low dimensional electronic systems. They mainly aim at characterizing two dimensional electron 2 gases (2DEG) in various semi-conducting structures (GaAs, Si, …) or atomically thin layered materials such as graphene, van der Waals magnets, transition metal dichalcogenides (semiconducting or metallic), etc…  Among the numerous issues raised by these systems, we fixed a particular attention on the quantum Hall regime, and its associated collective states and spin properties. This includes ferromagnetic quantum Hall states, fractional quantum Hall states (associated with non-trivial “anyonic” and “non-abelian anyonic” quantum statistics), electron (Wigner-like) solids, quantum spin Hall phase, Valley physics, etc… We additionally pay a great attention to  “topological insulators” essentially Bi or Se based systems. .

Our main experimental techniques are transport, capacitance, magnetization, and magnetic resonances measurements involving low temperatures (mK), high magnetic fields (36T), and light (1MHz-10 THz) excitation.

New quantum statistics in the quantum Hall regime

We have been working on the physics of the filling factor nu= 5/2 fractional quantum Hall effect. The wave function which is supposed to describe this state theoretically, the so-called Moore-Read state, bears unique “non-abelian anyonic” quantum statistics which would underly a new paradigm for topological (fault tolerant) quantum computation. However, a verification of another key property of the Moore-Read state, which is the p-wave symmetry of the electron wave function at nu= 5/2, had so far been missing. Using Resistively Detected Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RDNMR) at very low temperature, we have unravelled the sought-after spin polarization of this state and shown that, in agreement with the Moore-Read theory, electron are fully spin polarized in the nu= 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state. This results is a necessary condition for the validity of the Moore-Read theory, and interferometric experiments will now have to determine the exact nature of quantum statistics in the nu= 5/2 state.

Nowadays, bilayer graphene has emerged as a new platform to study such statistics and a new project is being launched in 2025 for similar studies

Magnons in van der Waals magnets

Thanks to a newly developed phase-sensitive resistive detection technique of spin resonance, we can perform microwave absorption studies in a large frequency/magnetic field/temperature phase space (see techniques below). Such experiments enable us to determine the low-energy magnon excitations spectrum of various van der Waals magnets. The example of CrSBr  is given in the figure below

Magnetic-field dependence of two low-energy magnon modes in CrSBr measured in an applied field parallel to the three principal crystallographic directions.
Such spectra reveal anisotropies, magnetic transitions, and a strong magnon-magnon coupling in this material.

Valley degeneracy in silicon

Electrons in 2D silicon-based system possess a “valley” degree of freedom, just like in the more recently discovered 2D systems like graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides. This twofold degeneracy is often experienced as a source of complication for quantum computation perspectives in silicon “Q-bits” systems, but was also more recently put forward as an asset for potential “valleytronics” applications, where the valley degree of freedom of quantum states can be controlled and operated, the same ways as spins in “spintronics”. The single-particle valley splitting is far from being fully understood. Indeed, the possibility of tuning the valley polarisation of 2D electrons in silicon is actually very much dependent on the whole device’s structure and nature. For example, the valley splitting at the Si/SiO2 usual MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Field-Effect-Transistor) interface, where SiO2 is a thermal oxide, can be of the order of a few meV. In Si/SiGe heterojunctions, it is reduced down to the order of 10-100 µeV . Motivated by understanding interface-dependent valley splittings in 2D silicon, we investigate valley polarization in doubly gated Silicon MOSFETS involving yet another interface: the one between silicon and a “high-k” dielectric which is ubiquitous in modern silicon commercial MOSFETs.

Some results of our investigations have just been published:

mK specific heat of 2D systems

We are developing novel thermodynamic tools for the experimental study two-dimensional electron systems in the quantum Hall regime. This project is performed in collaboration with C2N (Orsay) and Neel institute (Grenoble), and involves high-mobility suspended 2DEG with embedded sensitive thermometry.
