NMP-2004-3.4.2.1-2 - New generation of tools for advanced materials characterisation

The development of new materials of superior performance requires new instruments in order to characterize the structure and properties (chemical, physical, etc.). Fast and easy-to-use characterisation tools to control the processing parameters are also crucial for the competitiveness of European industry.
The expected STREPs should aim at radically new approaches in the development of in-situ and ex-situ characterisation tools, and in particular for measurements under extreme conditions. Nano-tools are excluded.
