HOST LABORATORIES IN
MATERIALS & ENERGY SCIENCES
INSTITUT DENIS POISSON (IDP) - UMR 7013 - UNIVERSITÉ
D’ORLEANS, UNIVERSITÉ DE TOURS, CNRS
The Institut Denis Poisson (UMR CNRS 7013) includes one hundred permanent
professors, assistant professors and CNRS researchers, as well as thirty PhD students
and postdoctoral researchers. As the result of a merger in 2018 of two laboratories, the
MAPMO in Orléans and the LMPT in Tours, the Institute is bi-localized in the two cities. The activities of Orléans’ branch
of the Institute (former MAPMO – Mathematics Laboratory, for Mathematics, Analysis, Probability, Modeling,
Orléans, created in 1994), are devoted to mathematical analysis, probabilities and mathematical physics with the focus
on interactions with other branches of science, both internal and external to mathematics. The Tours part of the Institute
(former LMPT – Laboratory of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, created in 1996) has a multi-disciplinary structure
concentrated on studies of gravitation, integrable systems, classical and quantum dynamics of complex systems, and
quantum field theory.
CONDITIONS EXTRÊMES ET MATÉRIAUX : HAUTE TEMPÉRATURE
ET IRRADIATION (CEMHTI) - UPR 3079 - CNRS
The lab was originally formed in 1969 and renamed the «Centre de Recherche sur les
Materiaux à Hautes Températures» in 1998. In 2008, it merged with the Centre d’Etudes
et de Recherches par Irradiation laboratory. Its goals are to analyse and understand the
physical and chemical properties of materials under extreme conditions based on a detailed
description of the atomic-scale structures and defects in the solid state or the melt.
Materials & Energy Sciences 2019
CEMHTI has an international level of expertise in chemistry and physics at high temperature and/or under irradiation. Its
objectives are the analysis and the understanding of the physicochemical properties of solid and molten materials and
their behaviour in extreme conditions of temperature (up to more than 2500°C) and irradiation, from a better description
of the local atomic structure and defects in the solid and liquid states. The laboratory has expertise in the fields of high
temperatures, fusion and solidification, phase transitions, local order and disorder, meta-stability, in optical, radiative,
thermic and electrical properties which are studied in crystalline and amorphous oxides, ceramics, cements and molten
salts.
