Emission imaging is a medical imaging modality using radiopharmaceuticals, enabling to retrieve functional information. It is highly specific and sensitive to very small concentrations of the tracer. However, current instruments like scintillation cameras measure only a small fraction of emitted photons. Positrons cameras are more sensitive but limited to beta+ emitters. Recent improvements in the […] >>

The thesis concerns the study, modeling and development of infrared detectors based on antennas and MIM (Metal-Insulator-Metal) nanodiodes in the range 8-12 µm. These devices will operate at room temperature and will be manufactured in the CEA-LETI clean room. The student began his thesis work with a theoretical study of the behavior of dielectric and […] >>

Wireless power transmission technologies (WPT) are rapidly expanding, particularly for wireless charging of electrical systems (mobile phones, electric cars, etc.) but also for powering centimeter-scale wireless sensor nodes. The aim of the thesis is to study the performance and optimization of a new electrodynamic system concept recently proposed in our laboratory. The operation of this […] >>

In order to study the fundamental properties of Universe, it is necessary to measure very small intensity signals in a wide range of frequencies. To capture such a signal, the detectors matrices are generally cooled down to temperature of the order of 100 mK. In order to reach those temperature levels, a dilution refrigerator dedicated […] >>

X-rays is the most widely used medical imaging modality for the detection of pathologies, the monitoring of their evolution and during certain surgical procedures. The objective of this thesis is to study a new semiconductor material based on perovskites for direct X-ray detection. A thesis is running since October 2022 at CEA on the development […] >>
