Competitive advantage
- Direct access to atomic-scale structural information that enables future design strategies for property enhancement for virtually any nanoscale material of defence interest
Impact
- Atomic-scale structural information of defence materials under real-life operational conditions
- Structural insights enable the development of new materials with emergent and enhanced properties, irrespective of defence application
Successful applications
- Atomic-scale structural transformations monitored to 900 ºC
- Observation of electrochemically induced atomic-structure under a large operational voltage range
- Structural changes during deposition techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition
- Structural observations of materials under tensile strain
Capabilities and facilities
- Regular access to worldwide synchrotron facilities
- In-house analysis and modelling capability
