Results in brief

Irradiation driven nanofabrication: computational modelling versus experiment

RADON delivers state of the art programme, which addresses the modelling needs of the research and industry communities working on advancement of the methods of controlling irradiation-driven nanofabrication, whilst simultaneously training research and innovation staff capable of exploiting modern computational tools in this area of research and technology. RADON contains well-established academic and enterprise partners so that the involved research and innovation staff will have a unique opportunity to gain new research and technical skills on the utilization of modern computational and modelling tools in the breakthrough research and technological developments. Exposure of a system to radiation results in changes of the system's morphology, electronic, mechanical and catalytic properties. Controlling them with the nanoscale resolution is a considerable challenge, and irradiation of nanosystems especially during their growing or fabrication phase opens novel and efficient technologies to address the challenge. Currently such technologies allow for the controlled fabrication of nanostructures with nanometer resolution, although the control over their various properties remains to be improved. RADON aims at deeper understanding of the underlying molecular interactions and the key dynamical phenomena in irradiated nanosystems that will help to improve the technologies. This will be achieved through exploiting computational modelling approach supported by highly relevant experimental studies. RADON novelty is in using advanced computational methods to study irradiation-induced phase transitions and chemical transformations in complex nanosystems by means of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations.

Project objective

RADON delivers a state of the art programme which addresses the needs of both research and industry communities working on the advancement of the methods for controlling irradiation-driven nanofabrication, whilst simultaneously training research and innovation staff capable of exploiting modern computational and experimental tools in this area of research and technology.Exposure of a system to radiation results in changes in the system's morphology, electronic, mechanical and catalytic properties. Irradiation of nanosystems especially during their growing or fabrication phase and con-trolling them with the nanoscale resolution is a considerable challenge but if achieved opens enormous op-portunities and will lead to creation of novel and efficient technologies. Currently such technologies provide controlled fabrication of nanostructures with nanometer resolution, although the control of various proper-ties of such structures remains rudimentary. RADON aims at deeper understanding of the underlying molec-ular interactions and the key dynamical phenomena in irradiated nanosystems that will help to improve these nanofabrication technologiesRADON brings together well-established academic and enterprise partners employing both experienced and early career research and innovation staff and provides them with a unique opportunity to gain new research and technical knowledge on atomistic level insights into the key physico-chemical processes behind the irra-diation driven nanofabrication. Assembling and exploiting such knowledge is crucial for the required tech-nological breakthrough necessary for developing controlled nanofabriacation and bringing it to the market place. Progress in this critical field of research will be achieved by utilization of modern computational and modelling tools combined with the experimental studies to validate such simulations.
