Processing on a Nanometre Scale

Objective

The aims of PRONANO are to explore novel concepts for fabrication in the range from 10 nm down to the scale at single atoms or molecules, and to investigate the electronic and optical properties of the newly fabricated nanostructures.

APPROACH AND METHODS

The basis of PRONANO is a unique electron beam facility and novel scanning probe microscopes combined with electromagnetic radiation fields, which shall be used to develop precisely defined protocols for reversible or irreversible manipulations of Nanometre-sized objects, including organic molecules, fullerenes and clusters on solid substrates.

POTENTIAL

A better scientific understanding of the processes underlying electron beam lithography shall lead to an improvement of its resolution. Precisely defined nanometre-sized structures are expected to exhibit new electronic and optical phenomena, including single electron effects at ambient temperatures. They may also become relevant for high density information storage.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
