The Fundamentals of Nanoscale and Emergent Effects and Engineered Devices program seeks to understand and exploit physical phenomena for developing more efficient and powerful devices. This includes developing devices and structures to enable controllable photonic devices at multiple wavelengths, engineering palladium microstructures with large deuterium loadings to study absorption thermodynamics and effects, and enabling real-time detection as well as analysis of signals and molecules and origin of emergent behavior in correlated electron devices.
FY 2012
– Established scalability and scaling parameters in excess heat generation processes in collaboration with the Italian Departmentof Energy.
FY 2013 Plans:
– Initiate efforts to identify and characterize metastable, high pressure phases of gaseous materials (extended solids) that have superior mechanical/functional properties.
– Initiate development of synthesis techniques for producing extended solids at temperature and pressures amenable to scale up.
FY 2014 Plans:
– Validate computational tools against known high pressure materials and apply to develop multistep pathways to selected extended solids.
– Apply synthesis techniques to, and initiate synthesis of, intermediates projected to lead to selected extended solids.
– Develop and demonstrate methods to stabilize extended solids at ambient temperatures and pressures.
