项目摘要

Most advanced materials are actually composite systems where each part is specifically tailored to provide a particular functionality often via doping. In electronic devices this may be p- or n-type behaviour (the preference to conduct positive of negative charges), in optical devices the ability to emit light at a given wavelength (such as in the infrared for optical fibre communications), or in magnetic materials the ability to store information based on the direction of a magnetic field for example. To enable the realisation of new devices it is essential to increase the density of functionality within a given device volume. Simple miniaturisation (i.e. to fit more devices of the same type but of smaller size) is limited in scope as the nanoscale regime is reached, not only by the well-known emergence of quantum effects, but by the simple capability to control the materials engineering on this scale. Self-assembly methods for example enable the creation of 0D (so called 'quantum dots' or 'artificial atoms'), 1D (wire-like) and 2D (sheet-like) materials with unique properties, but the subsequent control and modification of these is non-trivial and has yet to be demonstrated in many cases. This research aims to establish a Platform for Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering (P-NAME) facility that incorporates a new tool which will provide the capability required to deliver a fundamental change in our ability to design and engineer materials. The principle of the technique that we will adapt, is that which revolutionised the micro-electronics industry in the 20th century (ion-doping) but applied on the nanoscale for the first time. Furthermore, the P-NAME tool will be compatible with a scalable technology platform and therefore compatible with its use in high-tech device manufacture. Without this capability the production of increasingly complex materials offering enhance functionality at lower-power consumption will be difficult to achieve.The P-NAME facility will be established within a new UK National Laboratory for Advanced Materials (the Henry Royce Institute) at the University of Manchester. Access to the tool will be made available to UK academics and industry undertaking research into advanced functional materials and devices development.

大多数先进材料实际上是复合系统，其中每个部分都是专门定制的，通常通过掺杂来提供特定的功能。在电子设备中，这可能是p型或n型行为（偏好传导正电荷或负电荷），在光学设备中，这可能是以给定波长发射光的能力（例如在光纤通信的红外线中），或者在磁性材料中，这可能是基于磁场方向存储信息的能力。为了实现新的设备，必须增加给定设备体积内的功能密度。随着纳米尺度的发展，简单的量子化（即适应更多相同类型但尺寸更小的设备）在范围上受到限制，不仅是众所周知的量子效应的出现，而且是控制这种规模的材料工程的简单能力。例如，自组装方法能够创建具有独特特性的0 D（所谓的“量子点”或“人造原子”），1D（线状）和2D（片状）材料，但随后对这些材料的控制和修改是不平凡的，并且尚未在许多情况下得到证明。这项研究的目的是建立一个平台，纳米先进材料工程（P-NAME）设施，其中包括一个新的工具，这将提供所需的能力，提供我们的设计和工程材料的能力的根本变化。我们将采用的技术原理是在世纪革命性地改变了微电子工业（离子掺杂），但首次应用于纳米级。此外，P-NAME工具将与可扩展的技术平台兼容，因此与其在高科技设备制造中的使用兼容。如果没有这种能力，生产越来越复杂的材料，以更低的功耗提供增强的功能将难以实现。P-NAME设施将建立在一个新的英国国家实验室先进材料（亨利罗伊斯研究所）在曼彻斯特大学。该工具将提供给英国学术界和从事先进功能材料和设备开发研究的行业。
