SUMMARY:Nanocomposite Oxides for Enhanced Functionality - Judith Driscoll 
 (Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy)
DTSTART:20101129T160000Z
DTEND:20101129T170000Z
UID:TALK26566@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Ian Farnan
DESCRIPTION:Achieving self-assembling/self-organizing systems are the holy
  grails of nanotechnology. Spontaneous organisation is not unique to the p
 hysical sciences since nature has been producing such systems for millions
  of years. In biological systems global patterns emerge from numerous inte
 ractions among lower-level components of the system. The same is true for 
 physical systems.  In this talk I will explore the self-assembly mechanism
 s of oxide nanocomposite films\, as well as the advantageous functionaliti
 es which arise from such ordered structures.\n\nReference:  J. L. MacManus
