With both conferences Palaiseau gathering similar audiences in consecu?ve weeks every even year, the EPS and SFP Condensed Maer Boards have joined efforts to organize the obvious: a single, landmark Condensed Maer Physics meeng of truly European perspecve. The very large response of the community, and Conference website turnout of delegates from nearly every European country and from most hp://cmd25jmc14.scienc neighboring naons, confirms the need for an event of this scope. esconf.org/ The conference program combines features from both the CMD and JMC formats. Thus, there are a limited number of plenary and semi-plenary presentaons, delivered by key sciensts in their respec?ve fields, intended to reflect the panorama of Condensed Maer Research. The Symposia sessions host detailed invited and contributed presentaons, as well as poster presentaons, on your parcular field of interest. The tradional CMD prize session will be held on Wednesday aernoon. An exhibion will be held alongside the conference. The organizers have aached much importance to the inclusion of special events concerning the enre Condensed Maer Physics research community in the conference. Thus, Forum discussions on the Future of Physics Publishing, Research and Entrepreneurship, and Gender Issues and planned for Wednesday, August 27th. Social events include the welcome recep?on on Sunday August 24th, a visit of the museum of the Conservatoire Naonal des Arts et Méers, and the conference gala dinner. On behalf of all organizers, be it the Program Commiee, the Local Commiee, the SFP, and the EPS, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to all of our sponsors, who have confided their trust in this venture. Thanks are also due to all commi;ee members, staff, and all delegates for enriching the program beyond our expectaons. I should also like to warmly thank all graduate students for their presence and assistance. I wish you a producve and enjoyable me in Paris. Welcome to Condensed Maer in Paris CMD25 – JMC14!

  • Fernand HOLWECK, Né Le 21 Juillet 1890, À Paris, Et Mort, À Paris, En
    Fernand HOLWECK, né le 21 juillet 1890, à Paris, et mort, à Paris, en décembre 1941, assassiné par la Gestapo en raison de ses activités de résistance, était un universitaire et un physicien-chercheur réputé dans le domaine des rayons X. Fernand Holweck était le fils d’un sculpteur parisien issu d’une famille alsacienne et catholique émigrée en France. Habitant le 14e arrondissement, il a fréquenté l’école Lavoisier puis, dès 1907, l’École de physique et de chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris dont il est sorti major de sa promotion, en 1910. Fernand Holweck s’était marié en 1923 avec Jacqueline, une jeune femme d’origine corse. Ils eurent un fils, Jacques, et deux filles, Mireille et Gabou (sans doute un surnom). Holweck était entré à au Laboratoire Curie de l’Institut du Radium, dirigé par Marie Curie, en 1912, à 22 ans, comme préparateur particulier de la directrice du laboratoire puis assistant. Il était ensuite devenu chef de travaux, maître de conférences, maître de recherches et enfin, un grade alors rarement attribué, directeur de recherches au CNRS. Il y devint rapidement un spécialiste de l’étude des radiations existant dans l’ultra-violet lointain et des rayons X, dont il apprit à fournir des doses connues en intensité et en longueur d’onde. Ses travaux lui permirent d’obtenir le titre de docteur ès sciences à la faculté des sciences de Paris, en 1923. Ses recherches le conduisirent aussi à travailler constamment sur la réalisation de vides de plus en plus poussés, à étudier les effets biologiques des rayons X et à contribuer au développement de la radiologie.

  • Itinerant Spin Dynamics in Structures of Reduced Dimensionality
    Itinerant Spin Dynamics in Structures of Reduced Dimensionality A dissertation presented by Paul Thomas Wenk in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Physics Thesis Committee: Prof. Dr. Stefan Kettemann [thesis advisor] (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany & Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea) Prof. Dr. Georges Bouzerar (Institut N´eel, France & Jacobs University Bremen, Germany) Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kleinekath¨ofer (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany) Date of Defense: August, 29 2011 ——————————— Jacobs University Bremen School of Engineering and Science © 2011 - Paul Thomas Wenk All rights reserved. Itinerant Spin Dynamics in Structures of Reduced Dimensionality Abstract In the present thesis results of the study of spin dynamics and quantum trans- port in disordered semiconductor quantum wires with spin-orbit coupling are presented. Starting from basic spin dynamics we derive the dependence of the weak localization cor- rection to the conductance on the strength and the kind of spin-orbit interaction (linear and cubic Dresselhaus, as well as Rashba coupling), the width of the quantum wires as well as the mobility, temperature and Zeeman term. Furthermore, we exploit the connec- tion found between the microscopic picture given by the Cooperon and the spin diffusion equation to extract the spin relaxation rate which shows the same wire dependencies as the weak localization correction. We also show how the result depends on the smoothness and the direction of the transverse confinement of the quantum wires. In this context we have addressed the question concerning long persisting or even persistent spin states in spintronic devices, presenting the corresponding optimal adjustment of spin orbit couplings of different kind and optimal alignment of the wire direction in semiconductor crystals.
