Irradiation driven nanofabrication: computational modelling versus experiment

Project description

Gaining insight into irradiation-driven nanofabrication

A system exposed to radiation will experience changes in its structure and properties. Irradiating nanosystems during their fabrication and controlling them with nanoscale resolution can be a challenge. However, if successful, it can open the way for novel technologies. Based on current technologies, the control of different nanostructure properties during their fabrication with nanometre resolution remains rudimentary. The EU-funded RADON project aims to improve nanofabrication technologies by gaining better insight into molecular interactions and key dynamic phenomena in irradiated nanosystems. To do this, it will deliver a state-of-the-art programme to address the needs of both researchers and industry working on the advancement of irradiation-driven nanofabrication control methods. The project will gather vital knowledge to help achieve a breakthrough in controlled nanofabrication.

Objective

RADON delivers a state of the art programme which addresses the needs of both research and industry communities working on the advancement of the methods for controlling irradiation-driven nanofabrication, whilst simultaneously training research and innovation staff capable of exploiting modern computational and experimental tools in this area of research and technology.
Exposure of a system to radiation results in changes in the system's morphology, electronic, mechanical and catalytic properties. Irradiation of nanosystems especially during their growing or fabrication phase and con-trolling them with the nanoscale resolution is a considerable challenge but if achieved opens enormous op-portunities and will lead to creation of novel and efficient technologies. Currently such technologies provide controlled fabrication of nanostructures with nanometer resolution, although the control of various proper-ties of such structures remains rudimentary. RADON aims at deeper understanding of the underlying molec-ular interactions and the key dynamical phenomena in irradiated nanosystems that will help to improve these nanofabrication technologies
RADON brings together well-established academic and enterprise partners employing both experienced and early career research and innovation staff and provides them with a unique opportunity to gain new research and technical knowledge on atomistic level insights into the key physico-chemical processes behind the irra-diation driven nanofabrication. Assembling and exploiting such knowledge is crucial for the required tech-nological breakthrough necessary for developing controlled nanofabriacation and bringing it to the market place. Progress in this critical field of research will be achieved by utilization of modern computational and modelling tools combined with the experimental studies to validate such simulations.
