Nanometer scale induced structure between amorphous layers and crystalline materials

Objective

Interfaces between amorphous/glassy layers and crystalline materials are playing an increasingly important role in the properties of manufactured ceramics and composites , especially as they move towards the nanometer scale . Recent research has revealed previously unknown physical , electronic and chemical phenomena occurring at these interfaces. The nanometer-scale structure at the interface is now believed to cause gradients in order and bonding that influence macroscopic physical properties such as fracture, high temperature creep, sintering, electrical conductivity, dielectric response and chemical reactivity. The goal of this project is to achieve a complete computational and experimental description of the structure and basic properties of crystal/glass interfaces, for the purpose of improving materials properties.

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.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

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.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
