Conspectus The properties of a material depend upon its physical characteristics, one of
these being its crystalline state. Next generation solid-state technologies will integrate …

Separation membranes that are prepared from piezoelectric ceramics can generate
ultrasound on-line to maintain surface cleanliness. Here, a lead-free piezoelectric support is …

S i O 2 with the α-quartz structure is one of the most popular piezoelectrics. It is widely used
in crystal oscillators, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices, surface acoustic wave (SAW) …

The growth of α-quartz-based piezoelectric thin films opens the door to higher-frequency
electromechanical devices than those available through top-down approaches. We report …

Micro and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), especially piezoelectric
resonators, offer a promising strategy for the manufacturing of point-of-care devices …

In this work, we show a detailed engineering route of the first piezoelectric nanostructured
epitaxial quartz-based microcantilever. We will explain all the steps in the process starting …

Functional oxides are materials with interesting properties for electronic applications. In this
thesis, we investigate the growth of thin films of two types of oxides: mixtures of silicon oxide …

The PhD project is highly interdisciplinary, at the interface of nanotechnologies, material
sciences cell biology and biophysics. For this reason, it will be performed in co-supervision …

This competition is governed by the provisions of Articles 9, 12, and 15 to 27 of the Statute of
the Scientific Research Career (ECIC) in its current version, and by the Recruitment, Hiring …
