In this paper we present our progress towards the development of a complete cold-atom Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Our goal is to have a single atomic sensor that will alternatively measure each inertial component (3 accelerations and 3 rotations). Every atomic measurement will be hybridized with a set of classical inertial sensors. Hybridizati...
We demonstrate a proof-of-principle of direct Earth gravity gradient measurement with an atom interferometer-based gravity gradiomter using a single proof mass of cold 87 rubidium atoms. The atomic gradiometer is implemented in the so-called double-loop configuration, hence providing a direct gravity gradient dependent phase shift insensitive do DC...

The microstructure and the solute distribution inside the phases after isothermal holding in the temperature range between 420°C and 700°C in the Ti-5553 alloy were analyzed using TEM equipped with an EDX analyzer and atom probe tomography. When phase transformation occurred at high temperatures (≥ 600°C), a significant partitioning of all solute e...
