Project Details
Description
We aim to produce nanoclusters with exotic properties using ultrafast laser deposition, a process pioneered by the applicants. The project will study the formation of nanosized materials to advance the fundamental understanding of nanocluster growth in nonequilibrium conditions of a laser plume for better control over the size, shape, and electronic structures of the resulting nanoclusters. The new ferromagnetic carbon nanofoam we discovered last year will be a priority. The observed ferromagnetism in the nanoclusters made of non-magnetic material provides a new class of magnetism that has never been reported before. Outcomes will include new nanomaterials for a wide range of applications.
