Research at SOLEIL
SOLEIL's strategic plans
SOLEIL is focusing its efforts and performances on four strategic areas: chemistry and physical chemistry, biology and health, complex materials and ancient materials, and finally physics. Lire la suite (559.87 KB)
Customized optimization of SOLEIL beamlines
SOLEIL has 29 beamlines planned for 2015, of which 26 are already operating today. To be able to conduct the research needed by those who designed and run these beamlines, as well as the scientific communities who ask to use them, all groups at SOLEIL are mobilized. Lire la suite (720.36 KB)

Know-how
SOLEIL accelerators specificities and innovative aspects
Ten years after the starting of its construction and after five years of operation, SOLEIL delivers photons to 27 beamlines with five possible filling patterns, all in Top-up injection mode. Lire la suite (683.55 KB)
Computing and controls at SOLEIL
A little over 10 years ago, nothing had yet been set up in terms of computer networks or control systems. The Computing Division was faced with a tight schedule and limited resources. A look back at the choices made and their consequences today. Lire la suite (567.6 KB)
Portrait : Hélène ROZELOT, head of planning and quality assurance
"In my opinion, making people who are engaged in a transverse project more involved by organizing them into "project groups", thus valorizing all actors in the project and allowing them to have an overview, is, for example, one approach." Lire la suite (436.65 KB)
Focus on research
Interdisciplinarity research and results obtained on :
Crystallization of quantum dots within a 3D biomimetic template SWING
Generating new physical properties using the crystallization of nanoparticles is highly challenging. The design of such new materials with unexpected physical properties is thus the major motivation in the investigation of new strategies for controlling the crystallization of nanoparticles Lire la suite (984.03 KB)
The 3D structure of surface proteins of the chikungunya virus has been elucidated PROXIMA 1
The chikungunya virus, spread by mosquitoes, causes infections the symptoms of which (severe joint pain), are similar to those of the dengue virus. Lire la suite (984.03 KB)
Imaging molecular potentials of ‘hidden’ states PLEIADES
A knowledge of electrondensity distributions and potential energy surfaces of molecules is a key for predicting the physical properties and chemical reactivity of molecules. Lire la suite (984.03 KB)
Single bulk dislocations revealed by coherent x-rays in silicon CRISTAL
Dislocations are linear defects of crystals. They are involved in most of the physical properties of the crystals: mechanical properties of materials, electronic properties of semiconductors… Lire la suite (984.03 KB)
An unprecedented structure of Re oxyde evidenced by operando XAS and Raman SAMBA
Because of its high selectivity and the conciseness of the number of reactions required, the catalytic conversion of alcohols is an elegant way of yielding valuable products from biomass. Lire la suite (984.03 KB)
Towards oxide-based multi-functional transistors CASSIOPEE
In the last 50 years, personal electronic devices have reshaped the ways we live, communicate and work. This revolution was made possible by the engineering of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), the two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at the core of components for today’s electronic devices.
