Funded Activity Summary

Structural Characterization of Ion Beam Synthesized Metallic Nanocrystals using Advanced Synchrotron based Analytical Techniques. Metallic nanocrystals formed by ion implantation represent a highly relevant class of nanomaterials with significant potential applications in communication technology. A detailed understanding of the structure of such crystals, as proposed in the project, will yield considerable information for efficient utilization of ion beam synthesized nanocrystals. This will enhance Australia's strength in nanotechnology and materials science and create the potential for technical innovation. Furthermore, this project will produce significant know-how in synchrotron based analytical techniques which is invaluable with respect to future research at the forthcoming Australian synchrotron facility.
