R EPORT ON THE ONGOING ACTIVITY OF THE “C HARACTERIZATION C LUSTER ” - STRATEGIES ON HOW TO LINK THE TWO ACTIVITIES Marco Sebastiani Roma TRE university, Engineering Department Materials Science and Technology Group

Marco Sebastiani T HE CHARACTERIZATION CLUSTER  A cluster of project has been launched with a kikc-off meeting in Brussels on the 2 7 th Novem ber  Main aim is permitting closer cooperation between projects working on research and development in the area of nano-scale characterisation.  Three experts, already working with several of the projects, have been assigned to act as daily secretary and contacts and form sub-clusters :  “ Sensors ” Rudolf Frycek  “ Characterisation Tools ” Costas Charitidis EMMC Feb 4th 2015  “ Characterisation for Model Validation ” Gerhard Goldbeck  “ Metrology – Standardisation ” 2

Marco Sebastiani M AIN SCOPE OF THE CLUSTER  Identify and group projects according to application areas and technologies;  Identify com m on interests (scientific, technical and commercialization wise) of on-going research and development;  Identify m ethods to support and strengthen common dissemination activities of the projects;  Agree with projects on how to support their individual and common innovation and exploitation activities;  Identify subjects and formulate recom m endations for new research, innovation and business development policies; EMMC Feb 4th 2015  Contribute to implement the priorities envisaged for the 2 0 1 6 -2 0 1 7 w ork program m e of the NMBP Programme. 3

Marco Sebastiani M AIN OUTPUT OF THE KICK - OFF MEETING  The structure of the sub-clusters have been agreed and specific responsibilities are assigned;  The three discussion papers for sub-clusters have been prepared and can be shared with EMMC;  Objectives :  maximize the cooperation between projects  identify com m on interests in on-going research and development  establish the formation of standard m ethodologies on nanocharacterization in Europe  promote the connection with external bodies  avoid duplicating work and improve efficiency  provide a forum for discussion EMMC Feb 4th 2015  disseminate the nanocharacterization issues to industrial stakeholders and general public 4

Marco Sebastiani N EW CHARACTERISATION TOOLS : THE KEY-WORDS  High resolution characterization/ calculation tools are already available in the scientific community;  Some of them are ready for down-scaling to industry  Key w ords for their effective application into nanomaterials development are:  Developm ent of PORTABLE new characterization tools  Exploitation into Best practice guides and standards  TRI POD structure of the EU projects on characterization;  Establishment of Materials Databases EMMC Feb 4th 2015  Sm art sharing of raw data  Synergic I nteraction w ith m odelers (through EMMC and its Validation WG) 5

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION - TOOLS SUB - CLUSTER  Main required horizontal actions:  Validation of measurement procedures  New standard reference materials  Metrological traceability (ensures measurement results made at different times and different locations )  Legislation (guidelines for proper standardization)  Establishment infrastructure for effective exchange of information between clusters (Nano- KTN, NanoSafety Cluster , EMPIRA , ISO, OECD EMMC Feb 4th 2015 initiatives) 6

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION - TOOLS SUB - CLUSTER  Potential future actions  Finalise the working groups and participants  Establish a mechanism or infrastructure on how this cluster can link interact with other clusters/ programs to provide synergy but not duplication  Each WG to use the infrastructure to extract information from different clusters/ programmes  Each WG to write priority areas  Cluster should to present and discuss priority areas across the different WG. EMMC Feb 4th 2015  Give a report to EC on the basis of this finding.  W rite a call , wherever possible include priorities from different WGs. 7

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION FOR M ODEL V ALIDATION  The key areas of characterisation for model validation the sub-cluster:  Support model development.  Characterisation to determine m odel input param eters  Characterisation to validate the output of simulations  Characterisation of materials and systems on an industrial product scale  Certification of models and methodologies EMMC Feb 4th 2015 10

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION FOR M ODEL V ALIDATION  In order to deliver on industry’s need for well validated models (e.g. structure-property relations) there is a need for m uch m ore com prehensive data including:  Reliable (open) data sets  Local / nano-scale material characterization in terms of property determination for material constitutive laws. New nanoscale measurement techniques required to validate and to calibrate models e.g. of microelectronic devices and systems.  Multi-scale characterisation  Keeping raw data as much as possible  Including the effects of processing, including process EMMC Feb 4th 2015 parameters  Extending from materials to device and systems data and models. 11

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION FOR M ODEL V ALIDATION  The key objectives are to:  I m prove the links betw een characterisation and m odelling.  Overcome the lack of data issue, including  access to existing data  comprehensive storage of new data  Procedures to provide (multi-scale) materials data that allow to validate (and to calibrate) models, see for example the slide from the microelectronics field.

Marco Sebastiani T OOLS ARE ALREADY AVAIBALE EMMC Feb 4th 2015  Involvement of scientific publishers is very important!! 16

Marco Sebastiani C HARACTERISATION FOR M ODEL V ALIDATION - ACTI ONS  Support and work closely with the EMMC on a sharing database system for data and the Materials Modelling Market Place.  Identify existing research data(-bases) to provide more information about a first (still unconnected) set of databases.  Establish information databases  of actors including characterisation laboratories.  of methods and types of data they can provide.  Identification of gaps in data as well as characterisation capabilities (methodologies and tools). EMMC Feb 4th 2015  Establish a stronger collaboration between institutes and tool suppliers (R&D&I). 17
