Ion implantation is a technique which makes it possible to modify the surface of materials by injecting atoms into them at the desired depth, and in precise quantities. It is widely used for doping semiconductors in the manufacture of very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Being a strongly non-equilibrium phenomenon (the incident atoms typically have energies millions of times higher than that of the atoms of the material) the implantation often generates, at the atomic scale, new structures which can, depending on the case, be exploited to improve the performance of high-tech materials, or constitute a problem to be circumvented.
For example, during doping, the implantation generates defects in the semiconductors by displacing atoms of the crystal, which is harmful for the integrated circuits. If the number of defects is not too high, the damage can be corrected by thermal annealing and the dopant activated. However, if the defect density exceeds a certain threshold, permanent damage will appear in the material and may render the devices unusable.
Conversely, ion implantation generates defects that can be used to modify materials. Indeed, implantation makes it possible to create, near the surface, defects which can subsequently diffuse into the material and modify the composition of buried layers by interdiffusion. It is thus possible to change the emission wavelength of wells or quantum dots and the properties of magnetic layers.
Ion beams also make it possible to quantitatively and extremely sensitively measure the depth distribution of atoms in a material. We have several ion beam analysis techniques in our laboratories, in particular Elastic Recoil Detection (ERD), a technique invented in our laboratories in the 1970s, as well as Rutherford Retroscattering Spectrometry (RBS) analysis. , channeling (RBS channeling) and Resonant Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRRA).

Research interests
The theoretical research of my group focuses on two main areas: the theory and modeling of quantum electronic transport in nanoelectronics, and the physics of materials in nanotechnology. A qualitative understanding of our research program can be observed from the list of publications . Overall, our work is centered on the innovation of first-principle theoretical and computational methods.
In nanoelectronics, we develop theoretical formalisms and associated computational tools to calculate quantum transport properties. In particular, we are the first to have successfully developed the first-principles non-equilibrium quantum transport formalism where a self-consistent density functional type (DFT) field theory is realized in the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism of Keldysh (NEGF). Here is the original NEGF-DFT article . You can find more information about the research we are doing on quantum transport by clicking on the following link .
In materials physics, a very interesting, extremely efficient and powerful new technique that we have developed is the real-space electronic structure method called RESCU, based on the Kohn-Sham DFT. So far, we have applied RESCU to solve problems with more than ten thousand atoms using only small computer clusters. This progress allows us to study realistic problems of materials physics, which was not possible before. The RESCU technical article is available here . You can find more information about our materials research by clicking on the following link .
Head of a theoretical and computational physics laboratory in the Department of Physics and the Institut Quantique of the Université de Sherbrooke. Our research lies at the crossroads of quantum matter and computational physics. We build and study models of quantum systems to discover and understand exciting phenomena. We also develop numerical methods to solve physics and interdisciplinary problems, particularly in relation to quantum information and artificial intelligence.
At the nanometer level, traditional boundaries between physics, chemistry, engineering and life sciences are disappearing. Physics, and in particular a background in scanning probe techniques, is an excellent foundation to contribute significantly to the emerging field of nanotechnology.
The Grutter Group is driven by exciting fundamental scientific questions. We invent, design, build and modify atomic force microscopes and related instruments. These tools are used to manipulate and study the structure-property relationship of nanoscale systems. We are the world leader in combining nanoscale spatial resolution with femtosecond temporal resolution. Our group is interested in translating our fundamental scientific discoveries into commercial applications and is open to fruitful industrial collaborations.

I am a theorist interested in the quantum theory of condensed matter . My research interests are quite broad and are often driven by a desire to make connections between different topics. I enjoy working on problems where progress can be made analytically, as well as developing qualitative insights and predicting new effects that could be verified by experiments. I like to apply the methods of quantum field theory, which are essential for understanding the behavior of interacting electrons in solids.
My current research focuses on the theory of topological materials . They are insulators, semi-metals and superconductors whose electronic energy bands and wave functions are characterized by non-zero integers called topological invariants. Topological invariants manifest themselves physically by virtue of particular electronic states located at the boundaries of the sample. Besides being a remarkable feat of basic science, the advent of topological materials holds promise for practical applications in the form of low-decoherence quantum computers and low-dissipation spintronics devices.
Some key words describing my recent work on topological materials are: spintronics, electrical transport, Majorana zero modes and electron-phonon interactions. For more details, please see my posts. You can also check out the following videos, where I describe my research to understand the interaction between electronic band topology and phonons.

I am currently an assistant professor at the University of Montreal, Department of Chemistry. My primary motivation is to discover and implement the chemistry needed to transition to a sustainable energy-based society. Specifically, I develop materials to convert solar energy into chemical fuels as a means of energy storage. Transforming solar energy into chemical bonds requires efficient and synchronous operation of several processes as well as a fundamental understanding of the underlying chemistry at work. Currently, catalysts that use solar-generated electricity to generate chemical fuels lack the performance needed to make this technology practical. In this context, my research focuses both on the design of new electrocatalytic materials and on in situ spectroscopic investigations. The goal here is to establish an iterative cycle where new materials are first synthesized and systematically tested, then probed by spectroscopic methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of the structure/function relationships of materials. The lessons generated can then feed into the next cycle of design, synthesis and understanding to accelerate the rate at which pressing energy and materials challenges can be addressed. then probed by spectroscopic methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of the structure/function relationships of materials.
