Applications and development of acoustic and microwave atomic force microscopy for high resolution tomography analysis
2016
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful tool for the characterization of organic and inorganic materials of interest in physics, biology and metallurgy. However, conventional scanning probe microscopy techniques are limited to the probing surface properties, while the subsurface analysis remains difficult beyond nanoindentation methods. Thus, the present thesis is focused on two novel complementary scanning probe techniques for high-resolution volumetric investigation that were develop to tackle this persisting challenge in nanometrology.The first technique considered, called Mode Synthesizing Atomic Force Microscopy (MSAFM), has been exploited in collaboration with Dr. Laurene Teta…
Etude en champ proche et champ lointain de surfaces métalliques : apport des microscopies à sonde locale à l'étude des étalons de masse
2005
Among the international system of units (SI) the kilogram is the only one which is still defined by a material artefact, the international prototype of the platinum iridium kilogram. The instability of mass standards is one of the major concerns of national metrology institutes and the subject of numerous studies. Interest in microscopic studies of surface quality of a mass has grown, as it is well known that surface roughness is a factor in determining the long-term stability of mass standards. This thesis is devoted to the study in near field and far field for determining the topography and roughness of metallic surfaces, in related with different institute, national and international met…

The fluorescence labelling, used by the fluorescence biochips, is known to change the charge distribution of the labelled molecules and then modify their biological activity. Among label free biosensors, we choose an optical detection, such as spectroscopic ellipsometry and/or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the biolayers.These optical techniques are based on the measurement of both thickness and optical index of the adsorbed biolayer. An AFM statistical measurement of the thickness of functionalized lithographed microstructures has been performed in order to determine the thickness of the biolayers.We have shown that the spectroscopic reading of the SPR phase shift is 100 times more sen…
Role of tir and intimin in the virulence of rabbit enteropathogenic Escherichia coli serotype O103:H2.
2000
ABSTRACT Attaching and effacing (A/E) rabbit enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (REPEC) strains belonging to serogroup O103 are an important cause of diarrhea in weaned rabbits. Like human EPEC strains, they possess the locus of enterocyte effacement clustering the genes involved in the formation of the A/E lesions. In addition, pathogenic REPEC O103 strains produce an Esp-dependent but Eae (intimin)-independent alteration of the host cell cytoskeleton characterized by the formation of focal adhesion complexes and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton into bundles of stress fibers. To investigate the role of intimin and its translocated coreceptor (Tir) in the pathogenicity of REPEC, …
Classification par méthodes d’apprentissage supervisé et faiblement superviséd’images multimodales pour l’aide au diagnostic du lentigo malin en derm…
2021
Carried out in collaboration with the Saint-Étienne University Hospital, this work provides additional information to help the skin diagnosis by providing new decision methods on Lentigo Maligna and Lentigo Maligna Melanoma pathologies. To this end, the modalities regularly used in clinical conditions are made available to this work and are orchestrated within a multimodal process. Among image modalities, may be mentioned the clinical photography, the dermatoscopy, and the confocal reflectance microscopy. Initially, the first steps of this manuscript focus on reflectance confocal microscopy as the work in computer diagnostic assistance is relatively underdeveloped, in particular on the dete…
Growth of metal/oxide periodic multilayer : relation between structure and electrical behaviour in systems based on titanium and tungsten
2014
Periodic multilayers have found many applications in the fields of optics, mechanics or electronics. However, few studies focus on the electrical responses of the metal/oxide periodic structures versus temperature. The interest of this work was focused on the characterization of the multilayers and their electrical properties versus temperature. In TiO/Ti/TiO/TiO2 and WO/W/WO/WO3 systems produced by the reactive gas pulsing process, sample structures were established by transmission electron microscopy for sublayers thicknesses between 1.3 and 50.8 nm. Then, this study highlights a modification of conventional electrical behavior versus temperature. An empirical relationship was established…
New methods for the determination of local residual stresses
2022
Splat solidification in thermal sprayed coatings relies on phenomena of various origins, time constants, and dimensional scales which altogether lead to complex residual stress states. As a result, in-service performance may be under or overestimated. Hence, this work aims at characterizing residual stress fields using high resolution instruments: a Raman spectrometer and a tailor-made Near-Field Scanning Microwave Microscope (NFSMM). Investigation areas are of 1 µm and 0.020 µm diameter respectively, both techniques are non-destructive and rely on electromagnetic interaction with matter.A preliminary study was conducted on sintered trigonal Cr2O3 with NFSMM as the technique is used for the…
Nutrition et protection de la vigne par la symbiose mycorhizienne à arbuscule
2021
National audience; La vigne, comme la majorité des espèces de plante d’intérêt agronomique, forme une symbiosemutualiste avec les Champignons Mycorhiziens à Arbuscules (CMA). En contrepartie deproduits issus de la photosynthèse, les CMA soutiennent leur(s) plante(s) hôte(s) dansl’acquisition de nutriments et la lutte contre leur(s) pathogène(s). En tant que biofertilisants, cessymbiontes obligatoires représentent une alternative de choix à l’égard des pratiques agricolesconventionnelles pour le développement d’une agriculture, et notamment d’une viticulturedurable. Les échanges entre les deux partenaires sont permis par la mise en place de structuresfongiques spécialisées appelées arbuscule…
Polymer-metal plasmonic waveguide : passive and active components for integrated photonics
2009
Dielectric loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides (DLSPPWs) enable transmission at a sub-wavelength scale of both electrical and plasmonic (optical waves at the interface between a metal and a dielectric) signals in the same circuitry. Moreover, the use of a polymer as the dielectric load enables the functionalization of DLSPPWs. Therefore, this configuration is of great interest for integrated photonic applications. However, DLSPPWs suffer strong losses due to dissipation into the metal film. We address here the possibility of compensating the losses using a configuration analogous to an optical amplifier. We first set theoretical (effective index model), numerical (differential metho…
