Synthesis and Optimisation of Ultra-Thin Metal Oxide Coatings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Metal oxides are a rich class of materials in terms of their electronic, optical and chemical properties. The emergence of nanotechnology has renewed the drive for miniaturisation and given new urgency to the synthesis of ultra-thin metal oxide films for use in new electronic devices, sensors and functional coatings. This project will generate valuable intellectual property in the form of optimised ultra-thin metal oxide coatings with properties tailored to meet this rapidly growing set of new applications. The innovative combination of advanced plasma synthesis, high resolution microscopy and accurate theoretical modelling will ensure success.
