In this presentation, we will focus on the synthesis of advanced materials by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). PLD is a versatile technique for the synthesis of thin films, nanostructured materials and nanoparticles of a large variety of materials. It allows an excellent control of material stoichiometry, nanostructured material density and nanoparticle size. In this talk, we will present a few examples of advanced materials synthesized by PLD in our laboratories and we will illustrate the versatility of this technique for the development and the tailoring of novel materials with unique functionnal properties. These materials include vanadium dioxide (VO2), barium-strontium titanate (BST), calcium-barium niobate (CBN) and germanium thin films, as well as silicon nanocrystals embedded in silicon oxide matrix. They are exploited for various applications, including RF and photonic devices.

Bio: Professor Chaker has obtained a 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. In 1989, he was recruited as professor by the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) in Varennes (Québec). From 1999 to 2002, he has been the director of the Center Energie et Matériaux of INRS, then from 2002 to 2005, the director of the Center Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications. Since 2003, he has been holding a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Plasmas applied to micro and nanomanufacturing technologies. His contributions are mainly in the field of plasma-based synthesis and etching of innovative materials at the nanoscale for the fabrication of RF and photonic devices. In career, this research work resulted in 234 articles in peer-review journals and over 300 conference presentations including 50 invited presentations. Prof. Chaker has participated to several committees of national and international funding agencies and to various scientific committees. He is presently the co-director of the Laboratoire international en technologies et applications des plasmas and he is chairing the scientific committee of NanoQuébec.
