Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Many new functional materials targeted for specific applications have multiple components or critical doping levels within a complicated phase diagram. Although both traditional (iterative) exploration and more recent (combinatorial) methods are effective for discovering new materials, combinatorial materials synthesis and high throughput analysis can lead to discovery and optimisation of a desired materials property in the shortest possible time.The aim of all inorganic combinatorial deposition techniques is to produce a variation of properties on a single substrate; however, thin film combinatorial methods are dependent on the availability of high throughput analysis techniques. In the study of inorganic systems these largely do not exist. The eventual goal of this programme is the development of radically new techniques for characterisation and performance evaluation which will enable the use of high throughput methods in a research area in which high throughput techniques are not routinely applied.
