<Reference n.: NMP7-EU-MSFRP-3>
<Deadline: 06/03/2008>
<Programme: Nanotecnologie, materiale e produzione>
<Project Title: FERREL, Nanosized ferroelectric crystal and films as
new sensor and active elements.>
<Financial Scheme: Small or Medium-Scale Focused Research Projects>
<Description: Modelling and computational construction of
multifunctional nanostructured components for nanoelectronic devices
(sensors, filters, motors etc.), based on ferroelectric PVDF
copolymers with locally polarized patterns (using AFM/PFM tip). These
patterns are having different surface organization and orientation
(various curves, shapes, lines, etc) suitable for various purposes:
molecules and living cells trapping, rotation, separation,
recognition, inhibition, etc. For special cases it may be covered by
metal deposition (ferroelectric nanolithography). The main problem is
-  modelling and calculation of the interfaces properties and
behaviour as between these differently oriented nanostructured PVDF
polarized patterns (boundaries between differently polarized domains)
as  between PVDF polarized patterns and others interacting components
(electrodes, substrates and moving components: molecules, gas
hydrates, living cells). The understanding the behaviour of the
interfaces at these boundaries under different environment parameters
(electric field, temperature, pressure) is the key for the design (and
accurate modelling) of the high performance materials, sensors and
active elements based on the ferroelectric PVDF copolymers with
locally polarized patterns. As results - the simulations and modelling
of most suitable systems and configurations will be explored that
could us to predict the constructed nano-materials novel properties
and behaviour in the desirable scales, and the computational
prototypes of the most realistic devices for multi-application will be
created.  The advanced computational modelling approaches and
molecular dynamics simulation are used in this proposal (tools are
based on Gaussian98, HyperChem 7.52 and own sofware). The computer
calculations will supported by experimental exploration and
fabrication of prototypes, which will be tested for the selected
objects (such as, molecules, living cells, etc.).The validation of the
models against experimental results will be reached.
