Nano Materials

Developing new classes of materials using bottom-up approaches and advanced deposition.

UHV technologies Electron beam deposition Molecular beam epitaxy Ion beam deposition Thin films Atom probe tomography Field ion microscopy SEM XRD Micro pillar testing

Project Description

Building materials from bottom-up approach offers a wide range of tailoring opportunities. In this project we developed and characterized new class of materials with applications in magnetism. We used inert gas condensation technique to develop a new class of composite materials containing nanocrystals in a nanoglass matrix. We also developed cluster ion beam depositions to produce metastable structures.
