Advanced Material Characterisation System

Project description

Advanced characterisation techniques offer potential for higher-performance nanomaterials

Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, AMaChaS is a multidisciplinary project combining expertise in nanofabrication, material growth and X-ray synchrotron techniques. Its aim is to further advance nanoscale material preparation and characterisation techniques to develop advanced nanomaterials with fundamental and technological relevance. The first goal is to further the know-how in the nanofabrication of holographic masks for X-ray holography. Such a ‘lensless’ technique opens up the way to investigate new material specimens for solar, battery or spintronic technologies. The second goal is to develop a bottom-up approach for obtaining epitaxial single-crystalline membranes of ferromagnetic, ferroelectric and superconducting materials.
