Analytical and spectroscopic methods / Méthodes d’analyse et spectroscopies

The goal of this course is to give chemists a solid theoretical (through lectures) and practical (through tutorials) background and know how in chemical analysis. Building on previous introductory classes of the first three years, the course will more specifically study the diverse approaches for the purification and separation by chromatography on the one hand, and, on the other hand, on the methods used to characterize chemical samples by mass spectrometry and atomic absorption, optical spectroscopies (infrared, Raman, UV-visible, fluorescence, X-ray diffraction) and magnetic spectroscopies (NMR and EPR). The spectroscopic approaches will be developed for structural studies of isolated molecules in solution or in the solid state. Techniques used to characterize intermolecular interaction and molecular reactivity of organic, inorganic or polymer materials will also be investigated. —————————————————————- Le but de cet enseignement est de donner à tout chimiste des compétences théoriques (cours) et pratiques (travaux dirigés) dans l’analyse chimique au sens large. En s’appuyant sur les bases de licence, seront étudiés plus particulièrement les diverses méthodes de purification et de séparation par chromatographie, d’une part, et d’autre part les méthodes de caractérisation par les spectrométries de masse et d’absorption atomique, les spectroscopies optiques (infra-rouge, Raman, UV-visible, fluorescence, diffraction des rayons X) et magnétiques (RMN et RPE). Les approches spectroscopiques seront développées pour l’étude structurale de molécules isolées en solution ou à l’état solide. S’y ajouteront les techniques permettant de caractériser et quantifier les interactions intermoléculaires et la réactivité de molécules organiques, inorganiques ou de polymères. Ce cours sera dispensé en français et en anglais.

Polymers for renewable energy sources and for flexible electronics

This course addresses the elaboration and characterization methods of main polymer materials (polymer electrolytes, electrode binder) for alternative energies: i.e. fuel cells, batteries, super-capacitor, flexible solar cells, etc. The course will also provide a background on critical issues on the main conjugated and conducting polymers used as the active materials (polymers, semiconductors and organic conductors) for the electronics applications. The different methods of chemical, electrochemical synthesis and recent synthetic methodologies will be reviewed. The underlying scientific principles that guide the study of structure-property relationships and the supramolecularity effects on the modulation of electronic properties will be discussed.

Passive seismic site characterization

In recent years, the number of scientific papers and engineering applications dealing with ambient vibration analysis methods has increased considerably. Clearly, the interest in these methods originates from both the economical attractive cost benefit ratio and the straightforward data acquisition. Being a non-destructive passive technique, these methods also complement geotechnical and/or active geophysical methods for characterizing ground structure at geotechnical and earthquake engineering scales. This course will achieve the necessary understanding of the problems related to the acquisition, processing and interpretation of these techniques for quantitative assessment of shear-wave velocity structure and derived engineering parameters (e.g. Vs30 required in building codes, site amplification). The course will alternate lectures, exercises and field experiment.

Quantum engineering quantum information

Quantum communication and information processing (QIPC) is a rapidly growing field that takes advantage of the most counter-intuitive aspects of quantum mechanics to develop new technologies. In this framework, no-cloning theorem is exploited to communicate more securely, while coherence and entanglement become resources to compute in a more efficient way than in the classical world. Moreover, approaching the quantum limits paves the road to ultra-sensitive measurements in various fields of physics such as photonics, mechanics or electrical engineering. In these various fields, the ability to beat decoherence, namely, to isolate and control quantum systems, was crucial. Technological progresses have allowed fulfilling these challenging objectives, such that quantum protocols are now investigated in various experimental setups. This course will present an introduction to quantum information and more generally to quantum engineering, with examples taken from photonics and superconducting circuits. It will expose the mains tools and concepts of quantum technologies, for students curious about this intriguing topics, whether they envisage to embark in a PhD, or they just want to acquire a scientific background in this domain. Basics of quantum optics and light-matter interaction will be presented. General concepts relevant for quantum information, e.g. quantum bits, Bloch sphere or decoherence, will be introduced and illustrated using superconducting circuits and photonics based physical systems : – Theory : Quantum measurement theory, entanglement, decoherence, exemples of elementary quantum information protocols and quantum gates – Experimental aspects illustrated with superconducting qubits : Two-level systems, Bloch sphere, Rabi oscillations, Ramsey fringes, quantum limits of amplification – Experimental aspects illustrated with photonics : Coherent states, single photons, quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation Physics, Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Mechanics Department (UFR PhITEM) Grenoble – Domaine universitaire IGMAYCGF 3 2nd year of master Lecture Course content can evolve at any time before the start of the course.

Basic geomechanics

The course aims to provide the students with the basic concepts of geomechanics, that is the theoretical and applied science dealing with the mechanical behavior of geomaterials (soil and rock). The first part of the course covers the basic subjects of geomechanics such as stress and strain, permeability and consolidation, compressibility, shear strength, testing techniques, etc. The course then focuses on the mechanical behaviour of geomaterials and provides a basic understanding of the features that are specific to geomaterials (dilatancy, friction, pressure dependence) and the modelling of such complex phenomena. In particular, an introduction is given to the ideas and concepts of elastoplasticity, this subject being of critical importance to geomechanics and geotechnical engineering.
