Abstract
The proposed research program will maintain continuity with respect to the research and development of new, better materials for energy applications, in biomedicine and electronics. We will continue with research methods based on modelling, advanced processing, the study of natural processes and the microstructural analyses of natural and synthetic materials. The proposed research program will keep the previous structure, with the research focused on three different areas: intermetallic alloys for the most advanced applications in the fields of electronics, medicine, and environmentally friendly technologies; ceramic materials for applications in electronics, medicine, and under extreme conditions; and natural and synthetic minerals for the study of growth phenomena in single-crystal systems. Part of the research of the proposed program will include investigations of the structure, chemical composition and specific physical properties of various nanostructures in different morphological forms (1D, 2D, 3D). New nanostructured materials for technological applications will be developed. A broader area of materials used for energy applications includes both fields: alloys and ceramics. In the field of intermetallic alloys we will continue our successful research program in permanent magnets and magnetocaloric materials. Basic research in this field also includes searching for new quasicrystals, where we will continue our joint research with the Institute Jean Lamour in Nancy in the frame of The International Associated Laboratory. Also, a broader area of materials used for medical applications includes both fields: alloys and ceramics. In the field of materials for biomedical applications we are strongly involved in tissue-engineering strategies, where the implants serve only as a temporary support for our own tissue to heal and regrow. For the continuation of a very fruitful previous research on nanostructures used for medical application we will focus on a smart diagnostic, targeted drug delivery and stimuli-responsive release system based on hybrid magneto-optically active nanoparticles. A third part of our research activities will cover materials for electronics, which are also used in the applications to offer solutions to many world-wide problems related to energy, environment and the quality of life. Strong activity of the program group is focused also on implementation of various electron microscopy analytical techniques. The research activities include also modelling in terms of the design of materials with the desired properties as well as in terms of the interpretation of the experimental results. The research program will develop and stimulate cutting-edge research, attracting more scientists from the younger generation to enter this breakthrough field, promoting Slovenian and European science to a more advantageous position.
Significance for science
In general the importance of a proposed program to the understanding and knowledge of basic relations between the structure and chemical composition at the nano- and atomic levels with the subsequent physical properties is of utmost importance for development of science and is a prerequisite for development of nanostructures for new technological applications. The concept of chemically-induced phase transformations in crystalline solids is an innovative approach towards understanding the atomistic principles of phase formation and related crystal growth, where our group is leading worldwide. They present a groundbreaking contribution to our basic knowledge on thermodynamics and kinetics of processes during crystal nucleation and growth at the atomic scale, which have far-reaching implications not only for understanding the crystallization processes, but offer unforeseen implications in the development of new functional materials with novel physical properties. Every part of the proposed research has its very specific additional contribution for the development of science in the field of materials for energy, medicine, environment, the wellbeing of people. The relationship between magnetocrystalline anisotropy and coercivity is one the most important but least understood areas in permanent magnets. Realising a solid connection between microstructure and properties would have major implications for the development of science in this field and great impact in energy and environment by enabling the better quality of magnets, which are of vital importance for electric and hybrid vehicles and wind turbines. Finding a suitable replacement for Gd as a first element found to have a high magnetocaloric affect at room temperature will help engineers to design a magnetic refrigerator. This proposed research will also help in a better understand the discrepancies that occur when measuring ?Tad directly and indirectly and produce more accurate calculations of indirect measurements. Based on new hybrid nanoparticles, which offer a great advantage over existing pure magnetic or optical nanoparticles due to their high degree of tailored optimization for diagnosis and therapeutic needs will make an important contribution to the emerging field of nanomedicine and environment. The researches of new, improved procedures for synthesis of structured materials will lead to a gradual improvement of materials development that is necessary for obtaining electrical energy in fusion reactors. At the same time obtained knowledge contribute to further improvement and development for new materials in mechanical engineering, electrotechnics etc. Knowledge, obtained from the research of materials for tissue engineering applications are more specific. Research in materials for electronics will contribute to understand comprehensively the influence of different processing methods and various dopants like oxides of Ag, In, Ga, Fe, Co, Al, Y, Nd, Bi, Ce, Mn, Nb and others on the grain boundaries, charge carrier concentration and structural defects affecting electrical and thermal conductivity, all essential to enhance performance of materials for various energy, sensor and optoelectronic devices of our interest. The prime importance of modeling is to support the experimental activities. The new materials are mainly important for the technology. However, they strongly contribute to a deeper understanding of the laws that govern the properties and which should be considered during the tailoring. The proposed research program will develop and stimulate cutting-edge research, attracting more scientists from the younger generation to enter this breakthrough field, promoting Slovenian and European science to a more advantageous position.
Significance for the country
The proposed research program is primarily focused on sustaining and improving the quality of life. With the development of environmentally friendly materials and technologies, to substitute for existing ones, we will contribute to both a cleaner and a healthier environment. By being increasingly aware of energy saving and environmental problems, we will focus on searching for new materials and technologies for saving energy, such as: i) research on high-energy permanent magnets for their use in pure-electric and hybrid-electric vehicles and wind turbines, ii) research on magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration, iii) research on clean, safe and reliable sources of energy in the form of nuclear fusion. In the field of high-energy permanent magnets we are involved in three major European projects, two of which we coordinate. Through the partnership in these projects, in which we also included Slovenian industry, we strongly contribute to the successful growth and development of Magneti Ljubljana and Kolektor Group, Idrija. Our program group was already successful in winning projects for the next five years in EUROFUSION (Horizon 2020). By decreasing the dimensions of the materials that we develop, the surface properties start to prevail and this can be used for detecting small concentrations of agents in the environment, food and body. With the continuation of our previous research in the medical use of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery, we will contribute a great deal to a rapidly developing area of science, which is focused on improving the quality of life for cancer patients. The field of materials for biomedical applications is one of the fastest-growing and developing fields in science. The main driving force for this is the growing concern for our health, especially in the older population, for which the injuries to hard tissue are more common. Here we will focus our research on the synthesis of scaffolds from a polymeric matrix, reinforced with bioactive-glass nanoparticles. We collaborate with complementary European research groups and the Slovenian company Educell, which gives guidelines to our research together with a COST Namabio action. Our research will also continue in the fields of other nanostructured materials for specific technological applications, such as 1-D nanostructures for humidity, oxygen and UV detection nanosensors. 2-D nanostructures will be used as the photo-anodes in DSSC solar cells and in photocatalytic (micro) reactors. The incorporation of 3-D nanostructures into the matrix of thermoelectric oxides will improve the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) for perovskite thermoelectrics. The functional properties of ZnO will be used for the application in energy, and the improvement of the quality of life and the environment. The applied research in this area will continue in the direction of materials for overvoltage protection, spintronics, photovoltaic and optoelectronics. In this field we have a long-term and very fruitful collaboration with two industrial partners: Varsi d.o.o. and Iskra Zaščite. Basic research in the field of minerals will not only contribute to a better understanding of the basic principals of crystal growth, but will also contribute to the further preservation of the Slovenian natural heritage in the field of mineralogy. Our priority in developing new and advanced technologies for the production of new and better materials will be focused on technologies with a high potential for transfer to industrial-scale production and in addition to our existing long-term industrial partners we will also search for new ones. The Programme Group “Nanostructured Materials” is strongly linked to many international research networks and in this way contributes to the international recognition of Slovenia. Besides many international projects, the programme group is also strongly connected to Slovenian industry (e.g., Varsi, Iskra Zaščite Ljubljana, Kolektor Group
