Long-term memory and synapse-like dynamics in two-dimensional nanofluidic channels
P. Robin, T. Emmerich, A. Ismail +8
Fine-tuned ion transport across nanoscale pores is key to many biological processes such as neurotransmission. Recent advances have enabled the confinement of water and ions to two…
Strong electronic winds blowing under liquid flows on carbon surfaces
Mathieu Lizée, Alice Marcotte, Baptiste Coquinot +8
The interface between a liquid and a solid is the location of plethora of intrincate mechanisms at the nanoscale, at the root of their specific emerging properties in natural proce…
Amplitude Nanofriction Spectroscopy
Antoine Lainé, Andrea Vanossi, Antoine Niguès +2
Atomic scale friction, an indispensable element of nanotechnology, requires a direct access to, under actual growing shear stress, its successive live phases: from static pinning,…
Nanotribology of ionic liquids: transition to yielding response in nanometric confinement with metallic surfaces
Antoine Lainé, Antoine Niguès, Lydéric Bocquet +1
Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) are molten salts which exhibit uniques physical and chemical properties, commonly harnessed for lubrication and energy applications. The pure…
Atomic rheology of gold nanojunctions
Jean Comtet, Antoine Lainé, Antoine Niguès +2
Despite extensive investigations of dissipation and deformation processes in micro- and nano- sized metallic samples, the mechanisms at play during deformation of systems with ulti…
Ultrafast photomechanical transduction through thermophoretic implosion
Nikita Kavokine, Shuangyang Zou, Ruibin Liu +3
Since the historical experiments of Crookes, the direct manipulation of matter by light has been both a challenge and a source of scientific debate. Here we show that laser illumin…
Mechanically activated ionic transport across single-digit carbon nanotubes
Alice Marcotte, Timothée Mouterde, Antoine Niguès +2
Fluid and ionic transport at nanoscale recently highlighted a wealth of exotic behaviours. However, the artificial nanofluidic devices are still far from the advanced functionaliti…
Nanorheology of interfacial water during ice gliding
L. Canale, J. Comtet, A. Nigues +4
The slipperiness of ice is an everyday-life phenomenon which, surprisingly, remains controversial despite a long scientific history. The very small friction measured on ice is clas…
MicroMegascope based dynamic Surface Force Apparatus
Antoine Lainé, Laetitia Jubin, Luca Canale +4
Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) allows to accurately resolve the interfacial properties of fluids confined between extended surfaces. The accuracy of the SFA makes it an ubiquitous t…
MicroMegascope
Luca Canale, Axel Laborieux, Agasthya Aroul Mogane +6
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) allows to reconstruct the topography of surface with a resolution in the nanometer range. The exceptional resolution attainable with the AFM makes thi…
Atomic Force Nanoscope
Alessandro Siria, Antoine Niguès
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) allows to probe matter at atomic scale by measuring the perturbation of a nanomechanical oscillator induced by near-field interaction forces. The ques…
Nanoscale capillary freezing of ionic liquids confined between metallic interfaces and the role of electronic screening
Jean Comtet, Antoine Niguès, Vojtech Kaiser +2
Room temperature Ionic liquids (RTIL) received considerable attention as a new class of materials with fundamental importance for energy storage \cite{Armand2009, Uesugi2013} and a…
Scaling behavior for ionic transport and its fluctuations in individual carbon nanotubes
E. Secchi, A. Nigues, L. Jubin +2
In this letter we perform an experimental study of ionic transport and current fluctuations inside individual Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). The conductance exhibits a power law behavior…
Dynamical Backaction Cooling with Free Electrons
A. Niguès, A. Siria, P. Verlot
The ability to cool single ions, atomic ensembles, and more recently macroscopic degrees of freedom down to the quantum groundstate has generated considerable progress and perspect…
