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
