Modeling and Exploration of Materials Laboratory - Welcome

Welcome to the MEM Internet Website

The MEM laboratory offers a unique and coherent set of techniques for material exploration. It is able to provide comprehensive and concrete answers to materials or processes problems.

The MEM laboratory gathers different teams whose thematic area is around one technique or one type of experimental technique. The MEM is a joint research unit of IRIG under the supervision of the CEA and the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA).

Nanostructures and X-Rays Team (NRX)

The scientific activities of the Nanostructures and X-Ray (NRX) team focus on the study of nanostructures using laboratory and synchrotron X-rays.
Atomistic simulation (L_SIM)

The objective of the L_Sim team of theory and modeling is to simulate and predict the structure and the properties of nanomaterials. The properties of such materials are governed by their atomic structure. This is the natural scale of the methods developed in the lab combining physics and algorithmics.
Study of materials by advanced microscopy (LEMMA)

The LEMMA is mainly involved in the characterization of materials and nanostructures at a sub-nanometer scale. For many years it has been involved in developing and using High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) for applications in the study of interfaces at the atomic scale.
Magnetism and neutron diffraction (MDN)

The MDN laboratory was created by L. Néel and E.F. Bertaut in the early sixties in order to study condensed matter physics by means of neutron scattering techniques. Since 1995, its activity is based on the operation of three CRG intruments (IN12, IN22 and D23) installed at Institut Laue Langevin.

Magnetic Resonance Team (RM)

The strategy developed within the team aims at combining targeted methodological developments with theoretical advances and instrumentational breakthroughs to permit the atomic-level characterization of systems of interest for both health and energy.

Alternative and Atomic Energies Agency

CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.
