Obiettivo The study and development of novel functional materials are critical to the development of future device technologies. At the mesoscopic scale, new physics can be realised, which is highly relevant for the future generation of nano-electronic devices and thus is of considerable industrial importance. Hence, the enabling factor for study of functional materials is the ability to process different forms of the materials on different scales, as well as to interface them on the nano-scale.NanoFen (Novel Nano-scale Multifunctional Materials Engineering) is a project which involves novel materials processing, the growth of functional nano-wires, the exploration of routes for ordered nano-wire growth, the production of multifunctional nano-composites, and the demonstration of simple, novel (multi)functional devices. In order to transform the promises of the nano-scale phenomenon into industrial applications, practical approaches will be adopted, and hence, there will be an emphasis on chemically based processing routes. There will also be a particular emphasis on the study of oxide materials, which display almost all of the solid-state functions from high K dielectrics to superconductors. The NanoFen Excellence Team will be trained to a high level in the areas of materials engineering, nano-technology, microstructural characterisation, a broad range of processing methodologies, and device materials. In summary, the main objectives of NanoFen are to:1- Develop novel processing technologies for growth of nano-structured functional materials.2- Apply an intelligent combinatorial approach to realising nano-composite architectures.3- Demonstrate simple, novel (multi)functional devices.
