Abstract

NFFA-EUROPE PILOT (NEP) expands and consolidates the operation of a Interoperable Distributed Research Infrastructure for Nanoscience supporting research on materials and functional systems at the nanoscale and at the microscale.
The projet has started on March 1st 2021 and will lst until Fabruary 2026.
The new catalogue includes 185 methds and ove 620 instruments that warrant access to state of the art facilites and adequate redundancy for seamless service to transnatinal users.
The joint activities are all dedicated to improving the research infrastructure services and cover: JA1 - Real-time observation and control in microscopy and spectroscopy of nanoobjects; JA2 - X-ray Wavefront Metrology, Correction and Manipulation; JA3 - Nano-Engineering and pattern transfer methods; JA4 - A safe-by design platform for nanomaterials; JA5 - Correlative Nano-Spectroscopy and Nano-Diffraction; JA6 - Implementing FAIR data approach within NEP; JA7 - Communication and dissemination; JA8 - Bridging academic and industrial research

Obiettivi

The Goal of NFFA-Europe PILOT (NEP) is to enhance European competitiveness in nanoscience and nano-to-micro
analysis and nanotechnology.
Nanoscience is the frontier of fundamental interactions of multi-atomic matter and explores the origins of materials
behaviour at all dimensional and temporal scales, in the effort to describe and understand materials for the physical
and chemical engineering and for the life sciences.
The rational for a Research Infrastructure integrating nanofoundry laboratories, i.e. facilities for atomically
controlled growth and structural characterisation of nano-objects and nano-structured materials with facilities for the
fine analysis of matter based on radiation sources is to raise the quality and reproducibility of research in nanoscience.
The study of nano-particles and quantum materials needs advanced fine analysis with high energy, spin, space and
time resolution, due to the very low energy scale of appearance of quantum effects and order parameters, such as
ferroic behaviour, magnetism and superconductivity.
