Joint Projects
Our group participates, with partners from Europe and the UK, in collaborative projects funded by the European Union's Framework Programme:
ENSEMBLE - ENgineered SElf-organised Multi-component structures with novel controllaBLe Electromagnetic functionalities
This is an EU FP7-MNP collaborative project running from May 2008 to April 2012. Its aim is to demonstrate the versatility of the eutectic self-organisation mechanism for preparation of multi-component, multi-scale structures with controlled physicochemical and structural properties, with geometrical motifs on the submicron/nanoscale, capable of rendering novel and controllable electromagnetic functionalities. The planned research is expected to open new horizons for utilizing self-organised structures in the development of the next generation of materials for photonic application that will exhibit revolutionary electromagnetic properties.
Our partners in this project are:
- Institute of Electronic Materials Technology, Warsaw, Poland
- University of Zaragoza (Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Aragón, Fac. de Ciencias), Spain
- Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UK
- Instituto de Óptica - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Madrid, Spain
- Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Heraklion, Greece
- Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung, Berlin, Germany
