Presentation

Welcome to the Service de Physique de l’Etat Condensé: SPEC – UMR 3680 CEA-CNRS.
This UMR is part of DRF/IRAMIS at CEA Saclay and INP at CNRS.

The physics of condensed matter is studied at SPEC, from the most fundamental aspects to applications in suitable cases. The approaches are extremely varied, exploring worlds ranging from the nano scale to macroscopic objects. Thanks to its publications in specialized scientific journals, SPEC is also a centre for technology transfer and patenting. SPEC is involved in numerous collaborations, both with the CEA and at national and international level.

Patrice Roche , with his deputies Daniel Bonamy and Myriam Pannetier-Lecoeur, are in charge of this Unit.
