http://www.etsf.eu 1) Opening new eyes to the nanoworld
Networking Activities “To foster a culture of co-operation between the participants in the project and the scientific communities benefiting from the research infrastructure. “ Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3): To provide advanced applications and capabilities to more researchers Developing the operation of the ETSF for a broad community of researchers working in the field of spectroscopy, initially mainly experimentalists in academia and industry, through the maintenance of theory and code "beamlines“ and a dedicated communication and training programme WP9 ETSF Dynamic Databases End-point: Dyn. Knowledge Base established WP1 Consortium Management End-point: implementation of the project WP2 Foresight for Improvement End-point: production of a strategic development plan for software and associated improvements over the duration of the project WP8 Software Accessibility and Inter-operability End-point: All principle software tools to function on on all common computational platforms, with full compliance with coding standards ETSF Consolidating the ETSF by founding and developing its community of Users, providing researchers from academic, government, and industrial sectors across different nano- and bioscience disciplines with widening access to advanced instruments and theoretical techniques at the forefront of knowledge for spectroscopy characterisation WP3 Improving External Communications and Widening Understanding End-point: establishment of effective communications with the external community of Users et alia WP7 Theory and Software Development End-point: describe property for a certain number of atoms WP4 Implementing ETSF User Projects End-point: number of User projects undertaken per year WP6 Delivering External Training End-point: Meeting of the demand for training in ETSF's specialised techniques Transnational Accessand Service Activities “To provide trans-national access to researchers or research teams to one or more infrastructures among those operated by participants and to provide specific research infrastructures related services to the scientific community.” Joint Research Activities “To improve, in quality and/or quantity, the services provided by the infrastructures”. WP5 Promoting Code Availability End-point: all software possessed by members of the consortium fully licenced, documented and conforming with interoperability standards where applicable Keeping ETSF services at the forefront of knowledge with new theory and code development for the description of complex systems, to enlarge the potential user community; and software portability that will enable the use of the infrastructure by a larger community of researchers Facilitating wide access to ETSF theoretical tools by carrying out User projects in close collaboration with supercomputer centres and delivering services such as training and e-documentation

PCM: Reversible phase transition GeSbTe alloys: • rapid transition: ~10-100ns • large optical & electric contrast • although already applied still not well understood
calculations & experiment • spectroscopy on polycrystalline thin films of GeTe • optical spectra calculations (RPA) change in local order results in change of optical absorption. analysis & prediction Characteristic localisation of wavefunctions defines optical contrast!
InN in Optoelectronics InGaN alloys: • used in commercial optoelectronics • cover the entire visible spectrum Band gap of InN: • still under debate hampers device design
Band gap of InN - any value between 0.65 and 2.3 eV has been measured - strong dependence on intrinsic carrier concentrationFigure adapted from Butcher and Tansley Superlattices Microstruct.38, 1 (2005)
