Researchers at MIPT Laboratory of Terahertz Spectroscopy together with their MGML and international colleagues discovered a new phase of nanoconfined water; separate water molecules that are confined within nanocavities formed by ions of cordierite crystal lattice. The discovered phenomenon can also find practical applications in ferroelectrics, artificial quantum systems, and biocompatible nanoelectronics.
A Joint Declaration on Cooperation between Research Infrastructures MGML and NanoEnviCz was signed at the beginning of August 2020. Both sides confirmed their intention to work closely together in the liaison areas of science and research.
The basic condition for conduction relevant research is the availability of suitable samples. Despite the many crystal growth techniques available in MGML, several growth difficulties can always remain unsolved leading to very small or multiphase samples. We have implemented a microstructuring technique of multiphase or irregular samples to create devices for charge transport measurements. This allows us fabrication of samples with well-defined crystal orientation and dimensions so the resistivity can be determined with high precision despite sample size.
