The Advanced Composite Materials Facility is a multidisciplinary research group active in:
-
The discovery, optimisation and characterisation of new thin film solid-state materials using combinatorial (compositional gradient) multisource evaporation methods
-
The high throughput screening of new thin film materials with respect to intrinsic properties, and their properties when composite with other materials in devices
-
The use of multisource evaporative methods for the fabrication of micro-fabricated device structures
-
The correlation of composition, structure, interface and morphology with function
-
Providing support and partnership with academic research groups in the development of materials and composites for electronic, photonic, sensor, energy harvesting, energy conversion and energy storage devices
