Self-organised complex ionised gas systems for ordered nanometre-scale assemblies

本提案旨在发展复杂等离子体中纳米级组装过程的物理原理。裁剪等离子体生长的构建块和有序纳米颗粒阵列在纳米图案固体上的可控沉积的新方法是目标。多尺度动态过程的基本原理将被阐明，现有的技术开发新材料和电子/光子器件将被推进。预期结果与纳米材料和光电子技术这一全球高新技术产业的新兴领域密切相关。

This proposal is to develop the physical principles of nano-scale assembly processes in complex plasmas. Novel approaches for tailoring the plasma-grown building blocks and controllable deposition of ordered nanoparticle arrays on nanopatterned solids are targeted. The fundamentals of the multi-scale dynamic processes will be elucidated and existing techniques for developing new materials and electronic/photonic devices will be advanced. The expected outcomes are highly relevant for the nano-materials and optoelectronic technologies, rapidly emerging areas of high-tech industries worldwide.
