DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mohamed Chaker\, Institut National de la Recherche Scien
 tifique\, Varennes\, Canada\nIn this presentation\, we will focus on the s
 ynthesis of advanced materials by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). PLD is a 
 versatile technique for the synthesis of thin films\, nanostructured mater
 ials and nanoparticles of a large variety of materials. It allows an excel
 lent control of material stoichiometry\, nanostructured material density a
 nd nanoparticle size. In this talk\, we will present a few examples of adv
 anced materials synthesized by PLD in our laboratories and we will illustr
 ate the versatility of this technique for the development and the tailorin
 g of novel materials with unique functionnal properties. These materials i
 nclude vanadium dioxide (VO2)\, barium-strontium titanate (BST)\, calcium-
 barium niobate (CBN) and germanium thin films\, as well as silicon nanocry
 stals embedded in silicon oxide matrix. They are exploited for various app
 lications\, including RF and photonic devices.\nCitations:\n- Applied Phys

 3rd cycle thesis in gas and plasma physics at the Université d’Orsay in
  1981 and a PhD in plasma physics from Université de Montréal in 1986. I
 n 1989\, he was recruited as professor by the Institut national de la rech
 erche scientifique (INRS) in Varennes (Québec). From 1999 to 2002\, he ha
 s been the director of the Center Energie et Matériaux of INRS\, then fro
 m 2002 to 2005\, the director of the Center Énergie Matériaux  Téléco
 mmunications. Since 2003\, he has been holding a Tier I Canada Research Ch
 air in Plasmas applied to micro and nanomanufacturing technologies. His co
 ntributions are mainly in the field of plasma-based synthesis and etching 
 of innovative materials at the nanoscale for the fabrication of RF and pho
 tonic devices. In career\, this research work resulted in 234 articles in 
 peer-review journals and over 300 conference presentations including 50 in
 vited presentations. Prof. Chaker has participated to several committees o
 f national and international funding agencies and to various scientific co
 mmittees. He is presently the co-director of the Laboratoire international
  en technologies et applications des plasmas and he is chairing the scient
 ific committee of NanoQuébec.  (http://www.emt.inrs.ca/mohamed-chaker)
