Strategic research lines

CMAM has an interdisciplinary science program, in collaboration with a wide user community and touching very diverse areas such as: materials science, microelectronics, energy, cultural heritage, environmental science, Biomedical science, Nuclear Physics and Condensed Matter Physics. Research performed by CMAM-ascribed scientists is particularly active in the areas highlighted below:

Materials science

Modification and analysis of advanced materials using Ion Beam techniques. The activity is developed in four research areas:

QUANTUM MATERIALS

This project is focused on exploiting the capabilities of our ion accelerator in order to modify several materials with potential quantum applications

MATERIALS FOR FUSION

Development of new materials for application in fusion and studies of the behavior of materials of interest for fusion under the effects of irradiation

OPTICAL MATERIALS AND SPACE

Study of the modified optical properties of the irradiated materials, with the aim of demonstrating new photonic applications

BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

Ion Beam Analysis of biological tissue and Ion Beam Modification of Materials in order to manufacture biochips, cell substrates or micro-fluidic channels
