COMPUTATIONAL SIMULATION OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND PROCESSES IN MATERIALS, WITH INTERESTS IN NANOTECHNOLOGY, CATALYSIS, CORROSION, SPINTRONICA, BIOMEDICINE AND ENERGY

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Valladolid Province (NUTS ES418); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 84,700; EU co-financing EUR 42,350 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2018-06-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE RESEARCH THAT WE ARE GOING TO CARRY OUT IN THIS PROJECT HAS AS GENERAL OBJECTIVE THE THEORETICAL STUDY, USING QUANTIC MECHANICAL MODELS AND COMPUTATIONAL SIMULATION, OF NANOSTRUCTURES AND EXTENSIVE METAL SYSTEMS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTEREST, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PROPERTIES AT THE LEVEL OF ATOMIC RESOLUTION (OR NANOMETRICO). THE SYSTEMS UNDER STUDY WILL BE AGGREGATED METAL ATOMICS, HETERO-ATOMIC AGGREGATES OR NANOALATIONS, SYSTEMS OF LOW DIMENSIONALITY IN GENERAL, AS WELL AS METAL LIQUIDS, IN WHICH THE TYPICAL SCALES OF THE PROCESSES CONSIDERED ARE OF THE ORDER OF SEVERAL NANOMETERS ON A SPATIAL SCALE AND OF THE ORDER OF SEVERAL NANOSECONDS ON A TIME SCALE. THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES INCLUDE THE STUDY OF INTRINSIC PROPERTIES (MORPHOLOGY, ATOMIC STRUCTURE, ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE, THERMAL AND STATISTICAL PROPERTIES SUCH AS PHASE TRANSITIONS, MAGNETISM, DYNAMIC PROPERTIES), AS WELL AS THE CHEMICAL REACTIVITY OF LIGHT MOLECULES (O2, CO, H2, WITH CATALYSIS APPLICATIONS) AND METAL AGGREGATES (ZN-MG NANOALATIONS, WITH APPLICATIONS AS ANTICORROSIVE AGENTS). THE METHODOLOGY THAT WE WILL USE TO ADDRESS THE OBJECTIVES SET OUT IN THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE FORMALISM OF THE DENSITY FUNCTIONAL (DFT), WITH WHICH WE HAVE PROVEN EXPERIENCE AND WHICH MEETS SOME FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS: MECHANICAL-QUANTIC DESCRIPTION WITH PREDICTIVE CHARACTER AND APPROPRIATE DEGREE OF PRECISION WITH AN ASSUMED COMPUTATIONAL COST. THE RESEARCH WE PROPOSE HAS A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL FIELDS SUCH AS STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC ENGINEERING AT NANOMETRIC, ESPINTRONICA AND MOLECULAR ELECTRONIC SCALE, AS WELL AS THE REACTIVITY IN CORROSION PROCESSES, OF GREAT RELEVANCE IN THE FIELD OF NANOTECHNOLOGY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE STRATEGIC SECTORS AT NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN UNION LEVEL. THERE ARE ALSO CONNECTIONS WITH FUSION TECHNOLOGIES AND NUCLEAR FISSIONS, AND WITH APPLICATIONS OF INTEREST IN BIOMEDICINE (DENTAL AMALGAMS, OPTIC PROPERTIES AND PLASMAS OF METAL NANOALEACIONS), WHICH IS [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
