NFFA Project

Research Infrastructures

Nanoscience Foundries
and
Fine Analysis

A Design Study for a European Research Infrastructure enabling access to nanoscience, atomic precision and fine analysis with a unified metrology.

The NFFA Centres will:

• provide an infrastructure, with open access to academic, research, industry and civil services, for the integration of research efforts in nanoscience made by advanced nanofabrication methods and a fuller exploitation of atomic-precision metrology of the advanced LSF available in Europe;
• create a common technical platform for advanced nanofabrication and characterization of nanostructures, thus providing European users with a well defined metrology for synthesis and nanofabrication protocols, atomic resolution analysis, modeling and simulation methods.
• develop the first Repository of Nanoscience Data and Protocols for Metrology, Synthesis and Analysis on systems selected by the research community;
• maximize the impact of LSFs on European science and technology by raising the standard of sample definition and characterization for advanced experiments with ultrafast, nanofocused and high energy resolution probes available at Synchrotrons, FELs and Neutron facilities;
• strengthening the use and scientific return of all relevant RI of the ESFRI roadmap for nanoscience and nanotechnology.
