Researchers from the "Nanoscience" team at ISMO have discovered that the displacement of a single molecule on a silicon crystal can be performed without pushing it but by changing its electronic state with a scanning tunneling microscope.
The results is published in J. Phys. Chem. C

Through cooperation between searchers of CENIDE (Duisburg), CIN2 (Barcelona) and ISMO, the rotation of a "large" molecule deposited on a surface (Cu-phthalocyanine) induced by tunneling current has been observed in real time and modelized by ab initio calculations.

Members of the “Astrophysics and molecular assemblies” group at ISMO have studied, in collaboration with researchers at IPNO, the ability of high velocity neutral projectiles (atoms, clusters) to capture electrons from atoms. The authors could show that account of this process allowed to interpret previous unexplained results. This work has been
highlighted by the Journal of Physics B

Nathalie Picqué, from ISMO, is conducting her research in Munich (Germany) at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Ludwig Maximilian University. Her group is pioneering novel applications of laser frequency combs to molecular spectroscopy. Recent experiments in Picqué’s team have demonstrated that frequency combs are dramatically improving the resolution and recording speed of Fourier spectrometers for broad spectral bandwidth linear absorption spectroscopy.
The Coblentz Award is presented annually to an outstanding young molecular spectroscopist under the age of 40.
Most recent work of Nathalie Picqué and her colleagues has been recently
