Résumé : International audience
The mangrove swamp environment constitutes a sulphide rich habitat harbouring some thioautotrophic organisms. The ciliate Zoothamnium niveum and the nematode Eubostrichus dianae, both known to live associated with bacterial sulphide-oxidizing ectosymbionts, were analysed as positive controls by Raman microspectrometry. The detection of the 3 Raman bands characteristic of elemental sulphur (S8) allows us to define a positive model of sulphide-oxidizing symbiotic invertebrates and by extrapolation, of thioautotrophic organisms. A fast screening using this tool was carried out on eukaryotic organisms such as hydrozoan, nematodes, annelids, copepods, and ciliate (Pseudovorticella sp.) and on free-living filamentous bacteria found on decomposing leaves in order to detect thioautotrophic organisms. The Raman microspectrometry permits us: (i) to reveal thioautotrophic metabolism of free-living bacteria (Beggiatoa sp.) and even for Archaea and (ii) to detect sulphide-oxidizing endosymbiotic and ectosymbiotic bacteria associated with the Bivalve Lucina pectinata and Pseudovorticella sp., respectively. Raman microspectrometry represents a fast, easy and non destructive technique which can be used on living organisms without constraints of sample size. The Raman analysis can also be completed by ultrastructural analysis (SEM, TEM) on the same sample.

Résumé : East African Rift (EAR) is the divergent plate boundary. EAR exposes different stages of extension, from early stage rifting in Tanzania to oceanic accretion in Afar (Ethiopia). Manyara basin is the southernmost rift system of the east branch of EAR with recent volcanism (< 1.5 Ma) and a seismic swarm in the lower crust (20 – 40 km). Due to its location and tectonic setting, the Manyara basin offers the opportunity to study the earliest stage of rift initiation. Manyara volcanism is composed of several types of hyper-alkaline lavas as Mg-nephelinites (Mg# > 55) (Labait, Kwaraha), calciocarbonatite (Kwaraha) and evolved nephelinites (Mg# < 35) (Hanang).Mg-nephelinites (Labait and Kwaraha) are primary lavas mainly composed of olivine and clinopyroxene (cpx). Geochemical modelling from trace elements suggests that these primary magmas result from a degree of partial melting < 1 % from a CO2-garnet-phlogopite-bearing peridotite. These magmas have an asthenospheric source at depth > 120 km (lava carries xenoliths with equilibrium conditions > 4 GPa). The minerals were crystallized from a magma with a low H2O content (0.1 and 0.5 wt% H2O). The calciocarbonatite and evolved nephelinites are derived from Mg-nephelinites by fractional crystallization and immiscibility processes. Hanang nephelinites are silica- and alkaline-rich lavas (44.2 – 46.7 wt % SiO2, 9.5 –12.1 wt % Na2O+K2O, respectively) composed by cpx, Ti-garnet, nepheline, apatite and titanite. Complex zonation of cpx (e.g. abrupt change of Mg#, Nb/Ta, and H2O) and trace element patterns of nephelinites record magmatic differentiation involving open system with carbonate-silicate immiscibility and primary melt replenishment. The low H2O content of cpx (3 – 25 ppm wt. H2O) indicates that at least 0.3 wt % H2O was present at depth during carbonate-rich nephelinite crystallization at 340 – 640 MPa and 1050 – 1100 °C. The study of hosted-nepheline melt inclusions from Hanang allows constraining the late magmatic evolution of nephelinites during storage and magma ascent. Melt inclusions are composed by a silicate trachytic glass, a carbonate phase and a shrinkage bubble. Trachytic glass contains high content in CO2 (0.43 wt %, SIMS analyses), sulfur (0.21 – 0.92 wt % S), chlorine (0.28 –0.84 wt % Cl) and H2O low content (< 0.1 wt %, Raman analyses). Immiscibility process leading to the formation of carbonate occurs in a closed system during rapid magma ascent between 200 – 500 MPa. The carbonate phase is a Ca-Na-K-S-rich and anhydrous carbonate (33 wt % CaO, 20 wt % Na2O, 3 wt % K2O, and 3 wt % S). The pre-immiscible liquid has a phonolitic composition with 6 ± 1.5 wt % CO2 at 700 MPa. A preliminary study of melt inclusions by XANES spectroscopy and whole rocks by Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to determine these Manyara lavas were formed at oxidizing conditions (~ ΔFMQ +1.5).The early stage rifting volcanism (Manyara Basin) is characterized by CO2-rich and H2O-poor magmas from at least 120 km below the rift escarpment. The presence of CO2-rich magmas and the small amount of volcanic rocks erupted at the surface may indicate that the storage and percolation of these magmas at depth is a potential trigger for deep seismic swarms.
Le rift Est africain (REA) est une frontière de plaque en extension. Ce rift présente plusieurs stades d’extension, de l’initiation du rift en Tanzanie jusqu’à l’accrétion océanique en Afar. Le bassin de Manyara se situe le plus au sud de branche Est du REA. Il est caractérisé par la présence de volcanisme récent (< 1,5 Ma) et d’un essaim sismique dans la croûte inférieure (20 – 40 km). De par sa localisation et son contexte tectonique, le bassin de Manyara offre l’opportunité d’étudier le stade le plus précoce de l’initiation du rift. Le bassin de Manyara est composé de plusieurs types de laves hyperalcalines, les néphélinites magnésiennes (Mg# > 55) (Labait, Kwaraha), de calciocarbonatite (Kwaraha) et des néphélinites différenciées (Mg# < 35) (Hanang).Les néphélinites magnésiennes (Labait et Kwaraha) sont des laves primaires composées d’olivines et de clinopyroxènes (cpx). La modélisation géochimique des éléments en trace suggère que ces magmas primaires résultent d'un degré de fusion partielle ≤ 1 % à partir d'une péridotite à grenat et phlogopite. Ces magmas proviennent d’une profondeur > 120 km (présence de xénolites avec des conditions d’équilibre > 4 GPa). Les minéraux ont cristallisés à partir d’un magma pauvre en eau (0,1 et 0,5 pds % H2O). La calciocarbonatite et les néphélinites différenciés sont issues des néphélinites magnésiennes par cristallisation fractionnée et processus d’immiscibilité. Les néphélinites du Hanang sont riches en éléments alcalins (9,5 – 12,1 pds % Na2O+K2O) et en silice (44,2 – 46,7 pds% SiO2) et sont composés de cpx, grenat, néphéline, titanite et apatite. La zonation complexe dans les cpx (par exemple, changement brusque de Mg#, Nb/Ta, et H2O) implique une différenciation magmatique en système ouvert avec immiscibilité de liquide carbonaté et silicaté ainsi qu’un remplissage de la chambre magmatique avec des liquides primaires. La faible teneur en eau des cpx (3 – 25 ppm H2O) indique la présence d’un magma pauvre en eau (0,3 pds % H2O) lors de la cristallisation des cpx à des conditions crustales (340 – 640 MPa et 1050 – 1100 °C). L’étude des inclusions vitreuses dans les néphélines de Hanang permet de contraindre l'évolution magmatique tardive des néphélinites et le comportement des éléments volatils (CO2, H2O, S, F, Cl) lors du stockage et de la remontée du magma. Les inclusions vitreuses sont composées d’un verre trachytique, d’une phase carbonatée et d’une bulle de rétraction. Le verre trachytique contient du CO2 (0,43 pds % CO2, analyses SIMS), du soufre (0,21 à 0,92 pds% S), du chlore (0,28 – 0,84 pds % Cl) et très peu d’H2O (< 0,1 pds % H2O, analyses Raman). Le processus d’immiscibilité conduisant à la formation du carbonate se produit dans un système fermé pendant l'ascension rapide du magma, entre 200 – 500 MPa. La phase carbonatée est un carbonate anhydre et riche en Ca-Na-K-S (33 pds % CaO, 20 pds % Na2O, 3 pds % K2O, et 3 pds % S). Le liquide pré-immiscible a une composition phonolitique avec 6 ± 1,5 pds % CO2 à une pression de 700 MPa. Une étude préliminaire des inclusions par spectroscopie XANES et des roches par spectroscopie Mössbauer a permis de déterminer que les laves de Manyara se sont formées à conditions oxydantes (~ ∆FMQ +1,5).À l’initiation du rift, le volcanisme dans le bassin de Manyara est caractérisé par des magmas riches en CO2 et pauvres en H2O issus d’au moins 120 km de profondeur sous l'escarpement du rift. La présence de ces magmas riches en CO2 et la faible quantité de roches volcaniques émises à la surface peuvent indiquer que le piégeage et la percolation de ces magmas en profondeur est un déclencheur potentiel des essaims sismiques profonds.

Résumé : International audience
An intensive water vapour intercomparison effort, involving airborne and ground-based water vapour lidar systems, was carried out in the framework of the COPS experiment. The main objective of this paper is to provide accurate error estimates for these systems. Comparisons between the ground-based Raman lidar BASIL and the airborne CNRS DIAL (Differential Absorption Lidar) indicate a mean relative bias between the two sensors, calculated with respect to the mean value of −2.13% (−0.034 g kg−1) in the altitude region 0.5-3.5 km, while comparisons between BASIL and the airborne DLR DIAL lead to a mean relative bias of 1.87% (0.018 g kg−1) in this same altitude region. Comparisons between the ground-based UHOH DIAL and the CNRS DIAL indicate a bias of −3.2% (−0.37 × 1022 m−3) in the altitude range 1.5-4.5 km, while comparisons between the UHOH DIAL and the DLR DIAL indicate a bias of 0.83% (0.06 × 1022 m−3) in this same altitude range. Based on the available comparisons between the ground-based Raman lidar BERTHA and the CNRS DIAL, the mean relative bias is found to be −4.37% (−0.123 g kg−1) in the altitude region 0.5-4.5 km. Comparisons between the ground-based IGN Raman lidar and the CNRS DIAL indicate a bias of 3.18% (0.55 g kg−1) in the altitude range from 0.5 to 4.5 km, while comparisons between the CNRS DIAL and DLR DIAL result in a mean relative bias of 3.93% (1.1 × 1022 m−3) in the altitude interval 0.5-4.0 km. Based on the available statistics of comparisons, benefiting from the fact that the CNRS DIAL was able to be compared with all other lidar systems, and putting equal weight on the data reliability of each instrument, overall relative values for BASIL, BERTHA, IGN Raman lidar, UHOH DIAL, DLR DIAL, and CNRS DIAL, with respect to the mean value, are found to be −0.38, −2.60, 4.90, −1.43, −2.23 and 1.72%, respectively.

Résumé : International audience
Background information. Marine nematodes belonging to the Stilbonematidae (Desmodoridae) family are described as living in obligatory association with sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic ectosymbionts. The symbiotic bacteria carrying out this chemosynthesis should contain elemental sulfur in periplasmic granules as sulfur granules of chemoautotrophic endosymbionts described in various marine invertebrates. Results. Based on TEM analyses, extracellular bacteria surrounding Eubostrichus dianae possess these spherical periplasmic granules. Few investigative techniques can be used to identify elemental sulfur S8 such as EDXS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) and EELS (electron energy loss spectroscopy) associated with cryo-fixation of the sample to avoid sulfur loss. These techniques are time consuming, expensive and require technical skills. Raman microspectrometry applied to the analysis of E. dianae allowed us to detect elemental sulfur S8 and confirmed the location of these sulfur clusters in the bacterial coat. In the same way, Raman spectrometry was positively applied to the endosymbiotic bivalve Codakia orbicularis, suggesting that this technique can be used to characterize sulfur in ecto- as well as in endo-symbiotic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Conclusions. As Raman spectrometry can be used on living organisms (without preliminary fixation) without sample damage and preserving the molecular structure of the sulfur (denatured during chemical fixation) it represents a very well-adapted investigative tool for biologists. This technique therefore permits us to detect quickly and easily (in a few seconds and on entire living animals) the presence of sulfur compounds in the symbiotic nematode.

Résumé : International audience
The tribologic properties of graphitized carbon blacks and their fluorinated derivatives are investigated as a function of the fluorination rate. Very low intrinsic friction coefficients are obtained for highly fluorinated compounds. The correlation of the tribologic results and structural investigations of the initial compounds by TEM strongly suggests that the friction mechanisms involve surface effects in the early stage of friction. Long-term tribologic experiments and Raman analyses point out an evolution of the structure and composition of the tribofilms during the friction process leading to similar friction properties of the tribofilms. Wear studies revealed that highly fluorinated derivatives appear less efficient than pristine and weakly fluorinated compounds.

Résumé : Based on fieldwork and modern analytical technics, this work presents an overview of the Mid-Cretaceous hyper-extended rift system exposed in the northern part of the Pyrenean mountain range. Its inversion during the Pyrenean orogeny allows for precious observations of the deep-seated processes occurring at the foot of distal margins. Some peculiar aspects characterizing the pre-Alpine hyper-extended domain are examined throughout the 400km long suture that is fossilized in the North Pyrenean Zone (NPZ). The High Temperature/Low Pressure (HT/LP) thermal imprint of the extensional event is studied thanks to a dataset of more than hundred peak temperature measurement by Raman spectroscopy of the carbonaceous material (RSCM). The pre- and syn-rift metasediments are characterized by an intense ductile deformation. Field and EBSD investigations of the mechanisms of deformation reveal ductile and syn-metamorphic processes. The emplacement conditions of the peridotite into crustal levels and localized exhumation is examined in the key-localities of Urdach, Saraillé-Tos de la Coustette, Moncaup, Lherz, Caussou-Bestiac and Salvezines, The results indicate an early boudinage of the crust during the rifting process, resulting in the direct superposition of pre-rift sediments on top of mantle peridotites. Field, textural and isotopic characterization of the various ophicalcite and breccias found in the vicinity of the peridotite outcrops allow to decipher their exhumation history. New Ar-Ar geochronological results allow to precise the temporal evolution of the NPZ.
Cette thèse présente une analyse structurale et thermique des marges passives crétacées inversées dans la Zone Nord Pyrénéenne (ZNP). L'application du paléothermomètre RSCM (spectrométrie Raman de la matière carbonée) sur plus de cent échantillons répartis à travers la ZNP permet de préciser l'évolution thermique de la déchirure continentale. Un métamorphisme de haute température (450 à >600°C) se développe particulièrement au droit de zones ou la croûte continentale est extrêmement amincie voire éliminée. Les sédiments pré- et syn-rift sont marqués par une intense déformation ductile. L'analyse à l'EBSD des fabriques minérales indique une déformation de Haute-température contemporaine du métamorphisme HT-BP. Les conditions de mise en place crustale des péridotites et leur exhumation localisée sont examinées dans les localités d'Urdach, Saraillé-Tos de la Coustette, Moncaup, Lherz, Caussou-Bestiac et Salvezines. Les résultats indiquent un boudinage de la croûte continentale au cours du processus de rifting. Des décollements de couverture, principalement localisés dans les évaporites triasiques conduisent à la superposition directe des sédiments pré-rift sur le manteau exhumé. La notion nouvelle de soutirage crustal est introduite pour désigner ce processus dans lequel l'écoulement gravitaire ne joue pas un rôle principal. La caractérisation sédimentologique, pétrographique et isotopique (O et C) des différentes formations de brèches et ophicalcites observées à proximité des corps de péridotites permet de reconstituer les étapes de l'exhumation du manteau en pied de marge. Enfin de nouvelles datations permettent de mieux contraindre le calendrier des évènements successifs.

Résumé : International audience
We predict the IR-TO, IR-LO and Raman modes (wave numbers and intensities) of magnesite (MgCO3) up to 50 GPa, at T = 0 K, using the density-functional perturbation theory up to a third order perturbation, under the harmonic assumption. The predicted IR-TO and Raman mode wave numbers, the mode Grüneisen parameters and the Davydov splittings are systematically compared with experimental data for all modes up to the pressures of 10-30 GPa and for some modes up to 50 GPa. Existing experiments allow extending this comparison only to IR-LO wave numbers of the E u (ν3) asymmetric-stretch mode, confirming the odd experimental behavior of this mode at very high pressures. Predicted IR-TO, IR-LO and Raman intensities up to 50 GPa are just tabulated, but data are missing for their comparison with precise experiments. However, the generally good agreement observed between numerical results and experimental data, when their comparison is possible, suggests that first-principles methods are a major help to predict the entire spectrum up to very high pressures.

Résumé : International audience
Carbon is transported from Earth's surface into its interior at subduction zones. Carbonates in sediments overlying hydrothermally altered rocks (including serpentinites) within the subducted slab are the main carriers of this carbon1. Part of the carbon is recycled back to the surface by volcanism, but some is transferred to the deep Earth1, 2. Redox transformations during shallow subduction control the transfer and long-term fate of carbon, but are poorly explored1, 3. Here we use carbon stable isotopes and Raman spectroscopy to analyse the reduction of carbonate in an exhumed serpentinite-sediment contact in Alpine Corsica, France. We find that highly crystalline graphite was formed during subduction metamorphism and was concentrated in the sediment, within a reaction zone in direct contact with the serpentinite. The graphite in this reaction zone has a carbon isotopic signature (δ13C) of up to 0.8±0.1‰, similar to that of the original calcite that composed the sediments, and is texturally associated with the calcium-bearing mineral wollastonite that is also formed in the process. We use mass-balance calculations to show that about 9% of the total carbonaceous matter in the sedimentary unit results from complete calcite reduction in the reaction zone. We conclude that graphite formation, under reducing and low-temperature conditions, provides a mechanism to retain carbon in a subducting slab, aiding transport of carbon into the deeper Earth.

Résumé : International audience
Ciliates represent a diversified group of protists known to establish symbioses with prokaryotic microorganisms. They are mainly phagotrophs and symbiotic relationships with bacteria can give them an important advantage in chemosynthetic environments. The aim of this study is to describe the thiotrophic association that occurs between the peritrich ciliate Pseudovorticella sp. and potential sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Investigations at microscopic scale (LM, SEM, TEM) showed ectosymbiotic bacteria covering the surface of the body of Pseudovorticella sp. According to 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis, these ectosymbiotic bacteria belong to-proteobacteria and are phylogenetically close to the symbiont of the recently described Zoothamnium ignavum, which inhabits shallow-water wood falls. FISH experiments, using symbiont specific probes, clearly indicate that these ectosymbiotic bacteria are also ingested into food vacuoles. Electron lucent granules observed in TEM in the cytoplasm of the ectosymbiotic bacteria have been identified as sulfur granules by Raman microspectrometry analyses. Raman microspec-trometry analyses confirmed the thiotrophic nature of this relationship already suggested by the results obtained by TEM and phylogeny. A complete sulfur map was then performed to investigate the sulfur distribution in the zooid. Results show that the relationship between this protist and its bacterial partner is a thiotrophic ectosymbiosis.

Résumé : International audience
The strict environmental legislations and increasing ecological awareness among scientists have led to the development of “green” alternatives to mitigate corrosion. In the present work, literature on green corrosion inhibitors has been reviewed, and the salient features of our work on green corrosion inhibitors have been highlighted. Among the studied leaves, extract Andrographis paniculata showed better inhibition performance (98%) than the other leaves extract. Strychnos nuxvomica showed better inhibition (98%) than the other seed extracts. Moringa oleifera is reflected as a good corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 M HCl with 98% inhibition efficiency among the studied fruits extract. Bacopa monnieri showed its maximum inhibition performance to be 95% at 600 ppm among the investigated stem extracts. All the reported plant extracts were found to inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in acid media.

Résumé : International audience
This paper aims to decipher the thermal evolution of the Montagne Noire Axial Zone (MNAZ,southern French Massif Central) gneiss core and its metasedimentary cover through determination ofP–T paths and temperature gradients. Migmatitic gneiss from the core of the dome record a clock-wise evolution culminating at 725 25 °C and 0.8 0.1 GPa with partial melting, followed by adecompression path with only minor cooling to 690 25° C and 0.4 0.1 GPa. Field structuralanalyses as well as detailed petrological observations interpreted in a petrogenetic grid indicate thatthe cover sequence experienced LP-HT metamorphism at <0.4 GPa. Apparent thermal gradientswithin the cover were determined with garnet–biotite thermometry and Raman Spectroscopy on Car-bonaceous Matter. High-temperature apparent gradients (e.g. 530 °C km1 along one transect) areexplained by late brittle–ductile extensional shearing evidenced by phyllonites that post-date peakmetamorphism. In areas where normal faults are less abundant and closely spaced, gradients of 20to 50 °C km1 are calculated. These gradients can be accounted for by a combination of domeemplacement and ductile shearing (collapse of isotherms), without additional heat input. Finally, thethermal evolution of the MNAZ is typical for many gneiss domes worldwide as well as with otherLP-HT terranes in the Variscides.

Résumé : International audience
The Oisans Massif, located in the external zones of the western Alps, experienced significant shortening during the Alpine collision. While a series of major top-to-the west shear zones was recently described, the general low grade of the metamorphism has not attracted much petrological and geochronological studies. This paper provides combined temperature and age constraints on the evolution of the Oisans Massif. Temperature was estimated with the Raman Spectrometry of Carbonaceous Material (RSCM) method and chlorite geothermometry. Maximum temperature reached by the Mesozoic cover (Tmax) from Grenoble to the Galibier pass (E-W) and from Saint Jean de Maurienne to Embrun (N-S) yielded almost constant ca. 330 °C temperatures all through the Massif. Temperatures however strongly decrease either westward towards the top of the Vercors sedimentary sequence or eastward towards the Penninic Frontal Thrust. Age constraints were retrieved using 40Ar/39Ar in situ analyses performed on variously strained samples from Alpine shear zones. Over strain gradients, incipient Alpine recrystallizations progressively develop at the expense of former Variscan parageneses. A combined textural and EPMA approach permitted to identify newly formed chlorite and phengite that unequivocally grew in response to deformation or to low grade metamorphism. Chlorites recorded temperatures from ca. 350–150 °C during the activity of shear zones. In parallel, 40Ar/39Ar in situ experiments enabled dating deformation using both synkinematic phengites crystallized below the closure temperature of white-micas and former Variscan muscovite whose isotopic system have been, at least partially re-opened. Activity of top-to-the-west shear zones responsible for the shortening and thickening of the Oisans massif thus occurred between 34 and 33 and 25 Ma. Integrating these new age-constraints, Tmax estimates, and published geological data on the Oisans Massif and neighbouring areas allow proposing a new shortening scenario for the external zones. From ca. 34–33 Ma, the Oisans Massif was buried as a rigid block below more internal units and reached a temperature of ca. 330 °C. Shearing progressively localized along a series of top-to-the-W shear zones in the basement until 25 Ma. Deformation then localized along a major thrust at the base of the ECM massif and propagated along the basement-cover interface below the Vercors massif after 16 Ma.

Résumé : International audience
The Jaca basin is a thrust-sheet top basin transported southward andunderlain by basement and cover thrusts separated by a Triassic décollement.Basin-fill upper Cretaceous to lower Oligocene synorogenic sequencesrecord a southward depocenter migration, while growth stratadate a shift of deformation from the mid-Eocene in the N to the earlyMiocene in the S (S-Pyrenean front). However, the deep geometry andkinematic relationships between the cover and basement thrusts remainnon-consensual. We present a new structural and kinematic interpretationfor the eastern Jaca basin, based on subsurface structural maps andcross-sections constructed using industrial seismic reflection profiles.Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material (RSCM), vitrinite reflectanceand apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology data givefurther constraints for the restoration of the deformation and burialexhumationsequence. We define 3 main basement thrusts under thenorthern part of the basin, from N to S the Broto, Fiscal and Guargathrusts. The study also clarifies the deep structure of the cover thrustsand their links with these basement thrusts and those located more tothe north in the Axial Zone (AZ), which altogether define the timing ofthe basement thrust sequence as follows : the Lakoura-Eaux Chaudesthrust system (northern AZ) active up to the end Bartonian, the Gavarnie(central AZ) and Broto thrusts during the Priabonian-Rupelian andthe Fiscal and Guarga thrusts during the late Oligocene-early Miocene.AFT results in the basin fill and AZ date the exhumation of the basinto the late Oligocene-early Miocene, in relation to the Fiscal-Guargathrusting. AFT partial reset argues for a maximum burial < 6 km forthe base of the Eocene detrital sequence (Hecho Group turbidites). Bycontrast, RSCM and vitrinite thermometry at the same level indicatesTmax around 180°C, locally up to 240°C, attesting to a temperature anomalypossibly related to transient fluid circulation.

Résumé : International audience
This work is concerned with the study of the tribologic properties of room temperature fluorinated graphite heat-treated under fluorine atmosphere. The fluorinated compounds all present good intrinsic friction properties (friction coefficient in the range 0.05–0.09). The tribologic performances are optimized if the materials present remaining graphitic domains (influenced by the presence of intercalated fluorinated species) whereas the perfluorinated compounds, where the fluorocarbon layers are corrugated (armchair configuration of the saturated carbon rings) present higher friction coefficients. Raman analyses reveal that the friction process induces severe changes in the materials structure especially the partial re-building of graphitic domains in the case of perfluorinated compounds which explains the improvement of μ during the friction tests for these last materials.

Résumé : International audience
This paper presents a new balanced structural cross-section of the Jaca thrust-sheet-top basin of the southern Pyrenees combined with paleo-thermometry and apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology data. The cross-section, based on field data and interpretation of industrial seismic reflection profiles, allows refinement of previous interpretations of the south-directed thrust system, involving the identification of new thrust faults, and of the kinematic relationships between basement and cover thrusts from the middle Eocene to the early Miocene. AFT analysis shows a southward decrease in the level of fission track resetting, from totally reset Paleozoic rocks and lower Eocene turbidites (indicative of heating to Tmax > ~120 °C), to partially reset middle Eocene turbidites and no/very weak resetting in the upper Eocene-lower Oligocene molasse (Tmax < ~60 °C). AFT results indicate a late Oligocene-early Miocene cooling event throughout the Axial Zone and Jaca Basin. Paleo-maximum temperatures determined by vitrinite reflectance measurements and Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material reach up to ~240 °C at the base of the turbidite succession. Inverse modelling of AFT and vitrinite reflectance data with the QTQt software for key samples show compatibility between vitrinite-derived Tmax and the AFT reset level for most of the samples. However, they also suggest that the highest temperatures determined in the lowermost turbidites correspond to a thermal anomaly rather than burial heating, possibly due to fluid circulation during thrust activity. From these results, we propose a new sequential restoration of the south Pyrenean thrust system propagation and related basin evolution.

Résumé : The occurrence and preservation of aragonite in eclogite-facies rocks of north-eastern Corsica is linked to an uncommon microtexture. Aragonite exclusively occurs as oriented fibres in garnet crystals of a graphitic, more or less siliceous marble that immediately overlies a serpentinite body of the meta-ophiolitic unit. The arrangement of the fibres is grossly radial, but more clearly sectoral in subhedral garnet, the fibres growing perpendicular to the garnet/matrix interface. Raman mapping reveals that the carbonate is calcite in the matrix and in poikiloblastic garnet cores, and that the fibres in the garnet mantle are aragonite alone in the case of a carbonate matrix, and both aragonite and quartz (in distinct fibres) in a quartz–carbonate matrix. These features are interpreted as prograde intergrowths, the result of garnet nucleation and growth in a calcite and then aragonite matrix (±quartz). Upon further heating and/or decompression, the aragonite matrix transformed back to calcite while the carbonates included in garnet retained their original structure, in spite of the relatively high temperature attained (ca. 500 °C). These aragonite relics are one more example of the preservation of a high-pressure polymorph through mechanical shielding of inclusions in a rigid host. The aragonite–garnet intergrowths are similar to quartz–garnet intergrowths described in amphibolite-facies graphitic schists. They are evidence that oriented inclusions in garnet are not necessarily precipitates (‘exsolutions'). Unlike precipitates, their orientation is controlled more by the shape of the garnet growth front than by symmetry constraints.

Résumé : International audience
A comparative study of 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (norharmane) and 1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (harmane) as inhibitors for C38 steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution at 25 °C was carried out. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were applied to study the metal corrosion behavior in the absence and presence of different concentrations of these inhibitors. The OCP as a function of time were also established. Cathodic and anodic polarization curves show that norharmane and harmane are a mixed-type inhibitors. Adsorption of indole derivatives on the C38 steel surface, in 1 M HCl solution, follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The ΔGads values were calculated and discussed. The potential of zero charge (PZC) of the C38 steel in inhibited solution was studied by the EIS method, and a mechanism for the adsorption process was proposed. Raman spectroscopy confirmed that indole molecules strongly adsorbed onto the steel surface. The electronic properties of indole derivates, obtained using the AM1 semi-empirical quantum chemical approach, were correlated with their experimental efficiencies using the linear resistance model (LR).

Résumé : soutenue le 09 juin 2008
Intrinsic tribological properties of lamellar compounds are usually attributed to the presence of van der Waals gap in their structure. The controled variation of the graphite's crystal and electronic structure by intercalation processes of different species (electrophile, nucleophile ...) give a possibility to study in a more deeply way the friction reduction processes for low dimensional compounds. Three groups of intercalant are studied and tribological properties are correlated to structural and chemical evolutions.
Les propriétés tribologiques intrinsèques des composés lamellaires sont généralement attribuées à la présence de gap de van der Waals dans leur structure. La possibilité de faire varier de manière contrôlée la structure cristalline et la structure électronique du graphite par processus d'intercalation de différentes espèces chimiques (électrophile, nucléophile ...) sont utilisées pour étudier de façon plus approfondie les processus de réduction du frottement par les composés de basse dimensionnalité. Trois familles d'intercalants sont étudiées et les propriétés tribologiques sont corrélées aux évolutions structurales et chimiques.

Résumé : National audience
La Zone Nord-Pyrénéenne (ZNP) résulte de l’inversion debassins albo-cénomaniens ouverts entre les plaques Europe etIbérie. Le manteau subcontinental a été exhumé dans le fond decertains de ces bassins et la couverture sédimentaire mésozoïquepré-rift, désolidarisée du soubassement paléozoïque, est venue localementen contact tectonique avec les péridotites. Ceci faitde la ZNP un analogue pour l’étude des marges continentalespassives à manteau exhumé. L’extension crustale s’est produiteen régime thermique chaud comme le montre le métamorphismecrétacé des sédiments pré-rift. Les Chaînons Béarnais (PyrénéesOccidentales) représentent un témoin peu inversé de ce type demarge chaude et sont donc propices à l’étude des modalités del’amincissement crustal dans un tel système. Les analyses detempératures par spectrométrie Raman réalisées sur la couverturesédimentaire aux abords du manteau (Saraillé, Urdach, Turon dela Técouère), montrent que la totalité du système a été soumis àdes températures maximales variant de 253C à 482C. Le contacttectonique majeur entre les sédiments pré-rift décollés et lemanteau est une zone d’intense circulation de fluides avec formationde roches métasomatiques à talc+chlorite+pyrite dans lesconditions du faciès schistes verts. La géochimie isotopique (O, C,Sr) et les inclusions fluides triphasées montrent une circulation desaumures chaudes (~200C), à travers toute la couverture sédimentairedans les derniers stades de l’exhumation du manteau.Nous montrons pour la première fois que pendant l’exhumationdes péridotites : (1) les sédiments pré-rift ont subi un amincissementsyn-métamorphique avec génèse d’une foliation S0/S1 et,(2) le socle paléozoïque a été réduit à de fines lentilles tectoniquesdéformées ductilement et restées adhérentes au manteau. Ainsi, larhéologie de la croûte supérieure durant l’amincissement est contrôléeen grande partie par la présence d’une couverture sédimentairepré- et syn-rift épaisse décollée jouant le rôle d’un couverclethermique efficace. Ces nouvelles données mettent en avant le caractèrede marge passive distale chaude de la ZNP. Cela constitueun élément important pour la compréhension des mécanismes del’amincissement crustal en contexte d’exhumation du manteau etses conséquences comme héritage structural lors de l’inversion tectoniquedes bassins.

Résumé : International audience
The present work is concerned with the study of the tribological properties of various fluorinated carbon phases obtained at room temperature and then post-treated under fluorine atmosphere at different temperatures. The tribological tests evidence good intrinsic properties for all the compounds (friction coefficient in the range 0.07-0.09). Differences appear after few cycles. Friction measurements after 100 cycles and complementary Raman analyses of the tribofilm remaining in the wear scar point out that long term tribologic properties of the fluorinated compounds strongly depend on the evolution undergone by the materials under friction. The release of HF molecules, the loss of fluorine and partial rebuilding of graphitic phases are at the origin of the degradation of the friction properties. The good properties of the compounds post-treated at temperature in the range 150-300 °C are attributed to the chemical and structural stability of these compounds under friction.
