The Groupe de Physique des Matériaux (GPM) is a "Unité Mixte de Recherche" (UMR 6634) from University Rouen Normandy, INSA of Rouen Normandy and CNRS.

With more than fifty years of history in scientific instrumentation, the laboratory is one of the pioneer in the development of atom probe tomography. Besides, our main research activities are dedicated to the investigation of materials down to atomic scale thanks to the combination of various techniques and modelling approaches. These activities are distributed within five departments:
