Nevertheless, some of them are active in that field • PhD level: 4 of us have the HdR and commonly act as Thesis Director • Master Level: 4 - 6 Ph.D. students per year are trained in the field of nanosciences (nanotubes, graphene, nanoparticles) and in the field of nanotechnologies applied to photonics, non linear optics, gas sensing… Thematic research schools in the field of nanoscience are regularly co-organized or leaded by ONERA/Nano scientists at an international level : nanotubes (2003, 2006) graphene (2010). Numerous courses are given by ONERA/Nano scientists at thematic Schools. • UnderGrad level: a laboratory dedicated to students from higher education institutes (IOGS, Ecole Polytechnique) gives them practical training in the opto-electronic properties of semi-conductor devices. Numerous courses of solid state physics and optics are given for students at Ecole Polytechnique, Ecole des Mines de Paris, IOGS, L3 level at university. • Textbooks: Annick Loiseau is one of the authors of the textbook series ‘Les Nanosciences’ edited by M. Lahmani, C. Dupas and P. Houdy (Edition Belin) and has contributed to the series ‘Université de tous les savoirs’ (Editions Odile Jacob, 2000). She has also edited with P. Launois, P. Petit, S. Roche and J.-P. Salvetat a text-book ‘Understanding carbon nanotubes: from basics to application’ (Springer, 2006). Raul Arenal and Annick Loiseau have contributed to a text book on BN nanotubes (Springer, 2009). Emmanuel Rosencher is the author (with Borge Vinter) of “Optoelectronics” (Cambridge University Press). Riad Haidar (with Fabrice Pardo) is currently writing a text-book for a practical introduction to plasmonics. Riad Haidar is involved in a text-book on opto-electronics for space devices. François Ducastelle is the author of ‘Order and Phase Stability in Alloys (North Holland 1991).
4.1.19.4Organisation / OrganisationONERA/Nano is a multidisciplinary consortium from different departments at ONERA, organized, since more than ten years, as an internal federative research network, who has initiated development of emerging fields in Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies, leaded by A. Loiseau. In this framework, the different teams involved benefit from shared facilities and shared knowledges, for developping common scientific activities both at fundamental and technological levels. Within ten years, they have acquired a robust common knowledge and know-how in Nanosciences and identified their potential for different applications interesting the aeronautic sector. Researches were first focused on carbon nanotubes and derivative structures. These activities are closely sustained by fruitful cooperations with CNRS and universities, at national and international levels, mainly via the GDR and GDR-I on graphene and nanotubes, coordinated by the ONERA/Nano team, LEM. More recently, research activities have also been developed on nanostructured materials for their potential for short term applications in optoelectronics. Thanks to this initiative, which led in 2007 to the creation of the ‘VISIO laboratory’, ONERA/Nano has gained in designing and making nanostructured devices dedicated research protocols have been defined in order to translate their optical and electrical properties into „practical‰ parameters that can be used directly by the designer. This idea is also the basis of the EQUIPEX LENA, submitted by ONERA/Nano. The ‘Laboratory for Studying Microstructures’ Department (LEM) is one of the pioneering labs in France for its research on nanotubes. Since 15 years, researches are conducted for understanding and modeling growth of nanotubes, synthesizing different kinds of single wall nanotubes and determining their structural, electronic and optical properties. The "Physics, Instrumentation and Sensing" Department (DMPH) has 5 research units, 3 of which are involved into the application of nano object to sensing, through the development of new techniques or instruments. DMPH has a long term experience in instrumentation in the field of electrical propulsion, atmospheric environment and acceleration measurements in micro-gravity, and their application to space vehicles for major purchasing agencies, both military (the DGA) and civil (CNES in particular). DMPH has exploited its expertise for developing original in situ laser-based diagnostics of the synthesis of single wall nanotubes, instrumenting micro-photoluminescence set up in the UV range dedicated to the study of large gap nanostructures and to evaluate the feasibility of new highly sensitive gas sensors. The ‘theoretical and applied optics’ Department (DOTA) is one of the major players in optronics in France. It has 8 research units, two of which are involved in the LENA equipex. The DOTA deals with blue sky and finalized research, upstream of industry and for major purchasing agencies, both military (the DGA) and civil (CNES in particular). It has a firm grasp of the whole of the optical instrument chain, from the source to processing. The DOTA has been involved for ten years or so in research and development into compact (integrable) and on-board systems for opto-electronics. It is in this context that the potential of nanotechnologies for photonics was identified and that work is currently being done on the properties of nanostructures and nanomaterials. For its projects, the DOTA relies a great deal on the world of university and institutional research, for whom it plays the role of "technologies maturer". Its knowledge of military and civil needs and its preferred partner status with the large industrial groups means it can orientate fundamental research toward applications, and facilitate technology transfers (creation of the small companies Leosphère and Phasics, patent transfers to Keopsys, etc.). ONERA/Nano teams are essentially relying institutional resarch, both from local, national and international agencies together with industrial partners. Within the last 5 years, 7 contracts with ANR, 2 with the CnanoIdF, 2 with the RTRA Triangle de la Physique, 3 EU contracts, 1 Carnot, 4 with DGA were obtained. 4.1.20Partenaire 20/ Partner 20 : Institut D'Alembert (IdA) FR3242/IFR1214.1.20.1Recherche et innovation / Research and innovationThe Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan), a prestigious public institution of higher education and research founded in 1912, is one of the major French Grandes Écoles, which are considered the pinnacle of French higher education. Within this school, the d'Alembert Institute defines and manages research projects involving fundamental or applied issues pertaining to molecular photonics. Applications are promoted by the sharing of a common knowledge and know-how substrate in the area of light-emitter interactions and range from information technologies to biotechnologies. The Cachan/Nano consortium will gather 5 different teams, coming from 3 distinct laboratories of the D'Alembert Institute (one of the teams also belonging to Ecole Centrale Paris):
The Cachan/Nano consortium will mainly contribute to the flagship project "NanoPhotonics" through (i) the use of diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers for super-resolution imaging; (ii) the fabrication of nanoparticles of organic molecules; (iii) the mastery of coherence effects in the amplified near field at the plasmon resonance of interacting and spatially ordered metal nanostructures; (iv) the fundamental study of energy transfer processes in hybrid compounds at the nanometre scale; (v) the dynamic analysis of macromolecular assembly. (vi) the development of highly sensitive biosensors and bioimagery techniques. The Cachan/Nano consortium will consist of 12 researchers (including 8 teaching ones), 4 research engineers, 12 PhD students and 5 postdoctoral fellows. It is noteworthy that 1 Excellence Chair was awarded to the Cachan/Nano consortium in 2009 (Chair RTRA “Triangle de la Physique” for Jörg Wrachtrup, 3rd Physikalische Institut, Universität Stuttgart) as well as a chair of excellence of the ANR (to Pr.

4.1.20.4Organisation / OrganisationCachan/Nano is a consortium from the D'Alembert Institute as ENS Cachan. Although each team is responsible for its scientific activities and funding, all benefit from the shared facilities (including a clean room and scientific equipment platforms). Each team already demonstrated excellence in basic sciences together with a strong commitment to applied issues. All are very active in fund raising, both from local, national and international agencies together with industrial partners. Within the last 5 years, 16 contracts were granted from ANR, 9 from the C'nanoIdF, 2 with the RTRA Triangle de la Physique, 5 from EU. Each laboratory of D’Alembert Institute will share between different LabEx projects (LASIPS and PALM for LPQM, LERMIT for LBPA, CHARMMM for PPSM). Along with the “intrinsic” interdisciplarity of D’Alembert Institute, this situation will favor the connections between these different communities, and D’Alembert Institute can be one major nodes between nanosciences and the various disciplines.
4.1.21Partenaire 21/ Partner 21 : Ecole Centrale Paris4.1.21.1Recherche et innovation / Research and innovationECOLE CENTRALE PARIS is one of the major french engineering schools. Its Research Centre research is totally integrated into the educational program of the school, in order to ensure study-through-research for engineering students, give them access to inductive pedagogies in the labs, open the school to the outside world. The research laboratories of the school have the principal vocation of transferring basic knowledge to the professional sectors in order to permit or facilitate the solving of concrete, and usually industrial, problems. They have thus a strong commitment to applied research. ECP/Nano gathers three different teams from the ECP Research Centre, each of them belonging to a distinct laboratory: The Nano Group (Head S. Volz) belongs to the Energetics and Combustion Lab (EM2C, a CNRS lab UPR288) devoted to production and use of energies of all kinds. Research is organised around three major areas: combustion, out-of-balance plasmas, and physics of transfers. The Nano Group is a theory group which works on phonon transport and electromagnetic issues in nanostructures The Magnetoelectric Materials and Systems group (Head B. Dkhil) belongs to the Physical Properties of Materials and Modelling Laboratory (SPMS, a joint lab with CNRS-UMR 8580), which studies innovative materials for energy, electroactive components, pharmaceutical applications and hydrogen technologies. The MMS groups precisely studies ferroelectric and multiferroic properties of thin films, nanowires and nanoparticles. The Nanotubes and Nano/Microcomposites group (Head J. Bai) is part of the Mechanics, Structures and Materials Laboratory (MSSMat, a joint lab with CNRS, UMR 8579), which is studying the Mechanical behaviour of structures at widely different scales, from the kilometre (earthquake engineering) to the nanometre (carbon nanotube-reinforced composites), based on a multidisciplinary approach emphasising both experimentation and intensive computation. The NNM group is focusing on in-situ diagnostic of early-stage growth of nanomaterials, and their relationships with structure and properties of those nano-objects. All 3 teams intend to join the NanoSaclay LabEx to emphasize and anchor their positioning in the Nanosciences field and enhance their collaborations with other "nano" teams. ECP/Nano gathers 8 researchers (including 5 teaching researchers), 2 research engineers, 12 PhD students and 3 postdoctoral fellows.

S. Volz is the leader of the joint lab created between ECP and Thalès RT. For all its valorization activities, ECP/Nano relies on the IP pool at ECP.
4.1.21.3Enseignement superieur / Higher educationECP/Nano scientists are involved in higher education activities. • PhD level: 4 of us have the HdR and commonly act as Thesis Director • Master Level: courses are given by ECP/Nano Scientists at Masters "NanoSciences" (U. Paris XI); • UnderGrad level: Nanotechnology, Physics, Polymer materials courses at ECP 4.1.21.4Organisation / OrganisationAll three teams at ECP/Nano belong to ECP Research Centre and benefit from its shared facilities, both scientific and administrative. One of them (Nano group) has just started in 2010 and is expected to grow in the next future. All are relying on ECP, CNRS, U. Paris XI and funding agencies to fuel their scientific activities. Within the last 5 years, 9 ANR projects and 1 Carnot project were obtained. 2 of those contracts involve industrial partners (EADS, Porcher, Schappe, IFTH, ACXYS, ST) 4.1.22Partenaire 22/ Partner 22 : Institut Lavoisier-Franklin de Versailles (ILF) IFR24834.1.22.1Recherche et innovation / Research and innovationThe Institut Lavoisier-Franklin is a Federative Research Institute composed with one Chemistry laboratory (Institut Lavoisier de Versailles, joint lab with CNRS, UMR 8180) and one Physics Institute (Gemac, Groupe d’études de la matière Condensée or Condensed Matter Group; joint lab with CNRS, UMR8635), IFR 2483. The INSTITUT LAVOISIER is one of the 35 laboratories at U. Versailles St Quentin (UVSQ). It is a joint lab between UVSQ and CNRS (UMR 8180) and is affiliated to the Sciences et Technologies de Versailles “Ecole Doctorale” (headed by C. Larpent). It contains 6 research groups, 4 of them active in Inorganic chemistry (materials, surfaces and interfaces), the 2 others more active in organic chemistry (synthesis, catalysis). Among them, the group "Porous Solids" (UVSQ/PS; Head C. Serre) intends to join the NanoSaclay LabEx. The UVSQ/ILV group has gained international recognition for its pioneering work on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), under the supervision of Pr G. Férey. Now headed by Dr C. Serre, it focuses its activities on developing a global approach of the synthesis of MOFs and using them as multifunctionnal materials. In particular, the "Porous Solids" group (denoted PS) has recently started a fruitful collaboration with P. Couvreur's team at U. Paris XI on using MOFs as carriers for drug delivery. This collaboration will be a cornerstone of one of the flagship projects within NanoSaclay. The GEMAC (Condensed Matter Group; joint lab with CNRS, UMR8635) was created in 2006 from two former laboratories at UVSQ: "Optics and Magnetism" and "Physics of Solids and Crystallogenesis". It is mainly a Materials Physics Lab, with particular emphasis on Optical, Magnetic and Electronic properties. It is based on 5 groups dealing with (1) commutable molecular solids, (2) low-dimension magnetic solids, (3) new semiconductors for non-linear optics, (4) diamond for electronics and (5) optics at the nanoscale. That latter group, "Optics at the NanoScale" group (UVSQ/Gemac; Head J-P Hermier) (denoted ONS) will join the NanoSaclay LabEx. The UVSQ/ONS group focuses on the detailed characterization of classical and quantum properties of nanoemitters at the single emitter level. The team also developed original methods in the field of single photon sources coupled to plasmonic nanostructures, and in the characterization of the optical near field properties of plasmonic structures. It will be involved in the "Photonics" flagship project. UVSQ/ILF gathers 3 teaching researchers, 3 researchers, 1 research engineer, 5 PhD students and 3 postdoctoral fellows.

4.1.22.2Valorisation / Exploitation of resultsUVSQ/PS has issued 10 patents during the last 5 years (full list in 7.2). Besides, two direct contracts have been signed between the UVSQ/PS teams and Michelin and Renault. Several funded projects also involve industrial companies (Total, BASF, Institut Français du Pétrole, Michelin,..) For all its valorization activities, UVSQ/PS relies on the IP pool at UVSQ and CNRS. The technology transfer department of UVSQ, composed by two IP legal advisers, a European Project Manager, three financial managers and a director, aims at promoting the work of the researchers and facilitating partnerships with economic and institutional partners. The technology transfer department provides administrative, legal and financial support to UVSQ’ laboratories for answering the calls for proposal, whether local, national, european or international. It is in charge of the drafting and negotiations of different types of agreements (consortium, collaboration, NDA, MTA, service transaction, hosting agreement, which concern researchers or companies,…), the administrative and financial management of the funds such agreements generate, and the management of the patent portfolio (presently, around 30 patents, two-third of such patent applications having been filed during the last 3 years, which indicates an increasing activity). The department also participates to strategic transverse projects by making legal studies and proposing adequate solutions. In 2009, the technology transfer department of UVSQ dealt with around hundred agreements, which together generated 8 million €. It has participated to the creation of a public-private laboratory with INTEL, French Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) and GENCI in the field of High Performance Computing and to the hosting of three companies in UVSQ’s premises. Our university, renowned for its works in the domain of environment and sustainable development and benefiting from the support and experience of its European Project Manager, is the only French university member of the European Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community, which addresses in priority the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Furthermore, during the last two years, the department provide legal and administrative support for the creation of two foundations (known in French law as “fondation partenariale”) in which our university is a fondating member, which demonstrates our partnership with the industrial world: Fondaterra (Initial allocation: 1,4 million €, Partners: EDF, GDF-SUEZ, VINCI CONSTRUCTION) and Mov’eoTEC (Initial allocation: 2 million €, Partners: RENAULT, PSA, VALEO, SAFRAN, IFP, INRETS, CETIM, ESIGELEC, ESTACA). The department is a member of the Ile-de-France incubator, Incuballiance, which helps our innovating concepts to become high potential development companies and this support would be enhanced by the creation of a SATT on the Saclay Campus (Société d’Accélération du Transfert de Technology – Technology Transfer Increasing Company) in the framework of the “Investissements d’Avenir” : such SATT would aim at developing the maturation of research projects and increasing the technology transfer from the academic to the industrial world, especially to the Small and Medium Enterprises. This new offer would complete the supports proposed by the department, which aims at providing to its members all the tools for the successful development of their research, including technology transfer. The technology transfer department of UVSQ is therefore the contact point for the implementation of the research projects, their protection and exploitation.

It ranges from interviews to the press to numerous conferences in high schools. We would highlight here the exhibition on spintronics organized at the Palais de la Découverte in collaboration with the network Cnano-IdF during 3 months in 2008-2009. http://www.palais-decouverte.fr/index.php?id=1779. 4.1.24.4Organisation / OrganisationThales Research and Technology (TRT) Traditionally described as “professional electronics”, the Thales Group’s businesses are primarily dedicated to critical information systems for aerospace, defence and security applications. Information systems and infrastructures are deemed critical if they provide essential services for people’s lives and underpin a country's economic and political machinery. Thales commits a very significant proportion of its revenues to research and development (R&D), hinging largely on the decentralised nature of operations, with 20,000 staff based at >80 units in the Group's top ten countries of operation. Upstream research at the central laboratories, managed by TRT, accounts for 3% of total R&D and employs 220 full-time staff, and some 40 doctoral students and 50 outside scientists. TRT has four research entities in France, UK, Netherlands and Singapore, and laboratories managed jointly by corporate research and Group subsidiaries and a network of research departments in operating units. The Physics Research Group is an international leader in nanoelectronics, nonlinear optics and laser technology.. The teams at TRT/Nano strongly rely on academic projects to fuel their basic research activities: Within the last 5 years, more than 20 contracts, including 11 with ANR, 12 EU contracts.
