  1. EU FP6 Network of Excellence Maximising the use of European research infrastructures in the field of multi-functional materials: the FAME-NoE (Network of Excellence) FUNCTIONALISED ADVANCED MATERIALS AND ENGINEERING: HYBRIDS AND CERAMICS J.-P. Gaspard University of Liège (Belgium) J. Etourneau (head of FAME) University of Bordeaux (France)

  2. FAME = 18 PARTNERS 7 COUNTRIES 190 Academic Researchers 60 Ph.D STUDENTS 28 COMPANIES are strongly interested in FAME 12 LARGE GROUPS 16 SMEs

  3. RESEARCH INTEGRATION SPREADING OF EXCELLENCE COLLABORATION WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES JOINT PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES

  4. MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CREATION OF AN EUROPEAN MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS INSTITUTE EMMI USE OF MEDIUM AND LARGE SCALE FACILITIES FOUR MILESTONES 2005 CONCEPT 2006 DESIGN 2007 PILOT 2008 EMMI FULLY OPERATIONAL DISSEMINATION OF SCIENCE TOWARDS SOCIETY MAIN OBJECTIVE HOW CAN WE BEST SHARE OUR OWN RESOURCES TO BECOME RICHER? 1 + 1 = 3 ? PRIVILEGED INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP COMMITMENT OF INSTITUTIONS EDUCATION AND TRAINING Co-supervision of Ph. D.

  5. THEORY AND MODELLING MAIN OBJECTIVE TO CREATE AND DESIGN NEW MATERIALS FOR NEW FUNCTIONALITIES AND NEW DEVICES IN RELATION WITH INDUSTRY A REAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH BY INTEGRATING TWO COMMUNITIES: HYBRIDS AND CERAMICS BIOMEDICAL USE OF HYBRIDS NEW ARCHITECTURES FOR PASSIVE ELECTRONICS NEXT GENERATION OF CERAMICS HYBRIDS FOR OPTICS AND SENSING RESEARCH

  6. Answer the questions : where are the atoms? (l ≈ Å) what do they do? (DE ≈ meV) Relations structure-properties Nonameter range accessible with special techniques (SAS) Platforms and tools : Large Scale Facilities - Medium/Small scale facilities Neutron and X-ray sources

  7. Necessary to have access to sophisticated instruments small beam size : mm (X-rays) high brilliance => kinetics special techniques small angle scattering (nanometric scale) reflectometry (surfaces) inelastic scattering (vibrations) Complex sample environment high and low temperatures (mK to 3000K) high magnetic fields high pressures (Mbar) Why Infrastructures?

  8. Synchrotron and neutron sources.ILL (neutrons) and ESRF (X-rays)Grenoble ILL ESRF

  9. ESRF Synchrotrons

  10. From theory to applications through LSF and integration Theory groups : From back of the envelope models to ab initio calculations (Universities and research centres) LSF : at the forefront of the analysis Extreme conditions Join the expertises through FAME Double feedback, cross fertilization

  11. The nano-scaled local structure at the origin of ”giant” properties The case of relaxor ferroelectrics Nano-scaled local structure:Competing chemical, structural and/or physical properties  remarkable properties: colossal magneto-resistance, giant piezoelectricity, high Tc superconductivity etc. Ex.: Relaxor ferroelectrics Local electric dipoles in a non polar matrix  next generation piezoelectrics 1 à 50 nm Challenge Detailed knowledge of the structural and physical properties at the nano-scale Approach Combination of local probes and the external parameter high-pressure - important influence on volume and thus energetic system - understanding of strain etc. - building block for ab-initio calculations

  12. Understanding of the nano-structure of the model relaxor Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3 II. Asymetric “Guinier-Preston-Zone” monoclinic segregation planes (4 % GPZ’s within matrix thickness  2 u.c. , lateral  50 u.c) Two types of X-ray diffuse scattering ... I. Broad scattering Local chemical order (just some unit cells) I. Chemical disorder persists II. Structural disorder changes fundamentally Effect of high-pressure 320 0.6 GPa 1.0 GPa 1.6 GPa 2.8 GPa J. Kreisel et al. Phys. Rev. B 63, 174106 (2001), Phys. Rev. B 68, 014113 (2003)

  13. MCM-41 Direct grafting X-ray absorption studies of functionalized mesoporous silica The X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) was carried out at the ESRF on BM29 to characterize the local metal coordination environments in a series of recyclable oxidation catalysts based on a micelle-templated silica (MCM-41) derivatised with oxomolybdenum complexes. Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo–O 1.70 Å Mo–O 1.92 Å The XAFS studies showed that the nature of the surface species depends on the nature of X (Cl or Br) and also on the presence or otherwise of NEt3 in the grafting reaction (which serves to activate the surface silanols) Mo···Mo 3.27 Å Mo Mo Mo C.D.

  14. Infrastructures • How to get beamtime (10 000 €/day)? • Normal procedure • Proposal => committee => decision => experiment • Takes 6 months, success rate 30%… 70% • Directors’ reserved beamtime • For urgent experiments, severely limited • Access programs of EU (TMR/LSF) • Beamlines operated by FAME scientists • LTP (long term proposal) • If the possibility is open “FAME” label (contacts with LSF Managements: LLB,..)

TRAINING OF RESEARCHERS IN DIFFERENT CENTERS CO-SUPERVISION OF Ph.Ds INVOLVING DIFFERENT COUNTRIES CREATION OF NEW MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS COMMITMENT OF INSTITUTIONS MOBILITY OF PEOPLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES RIGHTS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION TOOLS - INTRANET / WEB-SITE- VIDEO-CONFERENCING CONFERENCES – SEMINARS SUMMER SCHOOLS MAIN OBJECTIVE HOW CAN WE BEST SHARE OUR OWN RESOURCES TO BECOME RICHER? 1 + 1 = 3 ? INTEGRATION

  17. ’ NiCrAl Alloy model of nickelbased superalloys • Remarquable high temperature mechanical properties: • Ordered ’ clusters with L12 structure (Ni3Al) inside a disordered  matrix.

  18. HOW TO GET MORE RESOURCES? First principle: • TO SHARE BETTER OUR OWN RESOURCES (PERSONNEL, FACILITIES…) THROUGH SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS Second principle: • TO MAKE FAME A QUALITY LABEL FOR EXCELLENCE AND SYNERGY IN RESEARCH, AND USE THIS LABEL:  TO MAKE APPLICATIONS TO REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FUNDING AGENCIES • TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION (EC) • TO MAKE APPLICATIONS THROUGH BILATERAL GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS • TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES • TO HAVE PRIVILEGED ACCESS TO THE BEST RI
