Les nanotechnologies requièrent de réaliser des édifices complexes à l'échelle atomique. Ceux-ci sont généralement réalisées par dépôts sur un substrat (métal ou oxyde).

A phenomenon of transport is due to a force whose origin can be varied (electric or magnetic field, gradient of concentration, pressure etc...). Under the heading "transport measurements" are gathered various associated measurement techniques which can be flux measurements (heat, particles, electrical current, etc...), or statistical methods.

The magnetic properties of bulk samples and thin films can be studied by Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) or Magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE). Two VSM measuring devices are available in the IRAMIS: - One device in SPEC - One device in SPCSI   For research on low TC superconductors or more generally on electronic and magnetic matter properties at very low temperature,  specific equipments are developped, like a dilution-fridge equipped SQUID magnetometer.
