LAB_MAT
LAB_MAT
The Lab_MAT Facility of Beyond-Nano
The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for micro-, nano-structural and functional characterization of materials and nanosystems. In addition, multi-scale simulation support provides a crucial tool for accurate modeling of observed phenomena.
Lab_MAT enables both integrated development of activities in co-access with the other two laboratories (Lab_Power and Lab_PV), and independent access for the characterization of systems and device prototypes fabricated externally, using the installed equipment.
The mission of the laboratory is to offer a combination of scientific expertise and targeted access to a range of analytical techniques that are typically beyond the reach of small and medium-sized enterprises, and rarely available even in relatively advanced industrial and academic laboratories.
Continuous improvement of analytical and simulation capabilities is ensured through curiosity-driven internal research activities, carried out in close collaboration with Sicilian universities and national and international research institutions.
fields of application
In addition to its synergy with the higher-TRL topics of the other laboratories, Lab_MAT is active in medium- to low-TRL areas with significant potential for future applications in unconventional electronic and photonic devices, as well as in sensing technologies.
In this context, the lab has developed:
Perovskite PV
third-generation photovoltaic research based on perovskites
Graphene Devices
fundamental studies for the development of field-effect transistors and sensors based on graphene, its derivatives, and other two-dimensional materials (such as MoS₂)
Quantum Devices
the design of structures and devices with quantum functionalities
