Machine-learning potentials and rare-event sampling to understand how nanocrystals nucleate and grow.
New paper published in Comp. Phys. Comm.! Fruit of a collaboration with researchers from UMET, we tested the Steinhardt Gaussian Mixture Analysis that was already employed in a previous paper and demonstrated that it can be used to identify defects in complex crystal structures. Great job from Jean Furstoss who recently got hired as CNRS researcher and Carlos R. Salazar our former Master student!
Happy to welcome Roberto Tabacco in the group as a PhD student. He will focus on rare-event sampling techniques to study phase transitions in nanoparticles.
Excited to share a paper recently accepted in NPJ Comp. Mat. Massive thank to all the students and collaborators for the huge effort!
Today, I had the chance to defend my Habilitation à Diriger la recherche. Massive thank you to my jury made of John Russo, Francesca Baletto, Noel Jakse, Matthias Hillenkamp, Charlotte Becquart and Magali Benoit.
Glad to welcome the whole bunch of enthousiastic new students for this new year including:
Delighted to announce the first paper of our PhD student Q. Gromoff published in Nanoscale. Experiments and simulations were coupled to study the formation of AuAg nanoparticles. (See LINK)
