Two new research leaders at the PIIM lab !

The Habilitations to Supervise Research is the highest diploma in the French academic system. This diploma is necessary to supervise doctoral students.

Eric Salomon subject was about the use of electron spectroscopy to characterise two-dimensional architectures.

Marco Minissale subject was about Laser-based methods to study fusion-relevant materials and their interaction with diluted media

Congratulations to both of them !
The PS team is now the only team in the laboratory whose members all have an HDR!

17ème International Workshop on Hydrogen Isotopes in Fusion Reactor Materials (HWS 2024)

HWS 2024

Sixty scientists from thirteen different countries gathered in the heart of the French Alps to share their latest developments in the understanding the interaction between hydrogen isotopes and materials, a necessity for the use of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source.

Forty oral presentations and fifteen poster presentations were given during the workshop, covering a large spectrum from hydrogen recycling in materials, tritium removal technics to the influence of neutron damage on hydrogen retention in materials. The PIIM laboratory was very well represented, with oral presentations by Aleksandr Afonin, Yosvany Silva-Solís, Matthieu Latournerie and Federica Pappalardo, and two poster presentations by José-David Cremé and Julien Denis.

The PATP, Plasma-Surface and administrative teams of the laboratory were involved in the organisation of the event. The event was supported by the CNRS, Aix-Marseille University, the CEA, the Société Française de Physique, the Fr FCM federation and the ISFIN institut.
