Research activities
My scientific research interests are currently focused on the synthesis and detailed structure understanding of new layered crystalline oxides realized by electrochemical methods of alkali ions deintercalation/intercalation. The main goals are to synthesise new materials showing promising novel physical properties and to determine their structure in detail using multiple complementary to elucidate the composition-structure-property relationships.
Synthesising and exploring new layered oxide systems : Electrochemical sodium deintercalation/intercalation in a battery is a very elegant way to determine the real phase diagram of NaxMO2 systems and, moreover, to synthesize a given material by fixing its Fermi level versus the Na+/Na redox couple instead of trying to obtain a specific sodium amount chemically. As the current is controlled during the charge/discharge of the battery, the number of electrons exchanged by the system can precisely calculated, and therefore the stoichiometry, and more accurately the sodium amount, is perfectly known.
Tracking novel physical properties : All the new single phases synthesised are screened in terms of electronic conductivity, magnetic properties and thermoelectric response. The search for superconductivity can be done by measuring the magnetic moment down to 2 K and the electric resistivity down to 5 K. Other electronic or magnetic properties can also be explored at elevated temperatures at the ICMCB.
Studying structures in detail : The structures of new phases with the most promising physical properties are studied in further detail using multiple complementary probes to elucidate the composition-structure-property relationships. Whereas diffraction data (X-ray, electron or neutron) obtained at the ICMCB or at user facilities from powder samples help solve the long range structure of the newly discovered crystalline materials, local probes such as Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis or solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy are used to reveal local order in these materials in the case of complex superstructures or incommensurate structures.
