Nanoscale Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
J.
B. Roberto Over the next two years, significant new capabilities for nanoscale materials synthesis, characterization, and simulation and modeling will become available at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These capabilities will be accessible to the scientific community through the $65M Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS), a new Department of Energy user facility currently under construction at ORNL. The CNMS will include state-of-the-art equipment for nanoscale materials research and will be linked to the Spallation Neutron Source (the world’s most powerful facility for neutron scattering), the upgraded High Flux Isotope Reactor (with a new world class cold source), the Center for Computational Science (with leadership class computing capabilities), and ORNL’s broad array of materials synthesis and microcharacterization facilities. The promise of these new capabilities for nanoscale science and technology will be illustrated with results from recent ORNL research including advances in polymer architectures, nanostructured alloys, correlated electron materials, carbon-based nanostructures, interfaces with biological systems, superconductivity, magnetism, and subangstrom electron microscopy.
