Ultra-fast structure-property characterisation of materials

为功能性和耐损伤应用设计材料需要详细了解其结构和在从原子间层到微观、中观和宏观尺度的长度尺度上运作的机制。该项目旨在建立超快速处理能力，以前所未有的速度和精度在多个长度尺度上实现无离子损伤的结构修改和微结构-机械性能表征。预期的结果包括能够为设计新型材料系统创造关于多尺度结构、成分和变形机制的新知识，从而使整个运输、国防和清洁能源领域的制造业受益。

The design of materials for functional and damage-tolerant applications requires detailed knowledge of their structure and the mechanisms that operate at length scales ranging from interatomic layers to micro, meso and macro scales. This project aims to establish ultra-fast processing capabilities that enable ion-damage free structural modifications and microstructure-mechanical properties characterisation across multiple length scales at unprecedented speed and accuracy. Expected outcomes include the ability to create new knowledge about multi-scale structure, composition and deformation mechanisms for the design of novel materials systems that enable manufacturing benefits throughout transportation, defence and clean energy sectors.
