MERGING ATOMISTIC AND CONTINUUM ANALYSIS OF NANOMETER LENGTH-SCALE METAL-OXIDE SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY AND CATALYSIS APPLICATIONS
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
MACAN (233484)
Area
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies
Description
The stability of thin films in contact with different materials is a critical issue for a wide range of modern devices, including high-k films in the microelectronics industry, metal electrodes for fuel cells, and nanometer sized particles on oxides for catalysis. Some groups are working on thermodynamic analysis of thin film stability, which correlate relative interface energies with dopant adsorption.
Participating Countries
Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Slovenia, United Kingdom, Turkey (Associated country), United States, Israel and Japan.
