We are thrilled to announce that the recent two days of beamtime at the Monoenergetic Positron Source (MePS)<\/strong> on April 2024, which was the first beamtime allocated at the ELBE research infrastructure<\/strong> as part of the ReMade@ARI project<\/a>, was a success!<\/p>

Two exciting projects <\/em><\/strong>were explored:<\/p>

\u26ac Damage accumulation in Cr-implanted \u03b2-Ga2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>:<\/strong><\/p>

Researchers led by Duarte Magalhaes Esteves<\/strong> from the Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico<\/a> of the Universidade de Lisboa<\/a> and the INESC Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias<\/a> studied Cr-implanted \u03b2-Ga2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>, a promising\u00a0wide\u00a0band gap semiconductor material with great potential for applications such as radiation detectors\u00a0and high-power devices. The team uses ion radiation to induce the delamination of a thin surface layer, which is then treated to form a free-standing nanomembrane. This method offers significant material savings, potentially creating thousands of functional and highly efficient devices from a single bulk sample.<\/p>

The Ion Beam Center<\/a> offered the precise ion beams needed to control the nanofabrication process<\/b>, while the MePS<\/a> provided the necessary timing resolution for Ga2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> analysis;\u00a0crucial to distinguish between occurring defect types: the only positron facility for this material worldwide. Both facilities at HZDR<\/a> were available for user access within the ReMade@ARI project<\/a>.<\/p>

\u26ac Impact of metals blend and electrochemical cycling on defectivity and lattice resilience in layered oxides used as cathode materials for innovative batteries:<\/strong><\/p>

Sergio Brutti<\/strong>, Laura Silvestri<\/strong> and Arcangelo Celeste<\/strong> from Sapienza Universit\u00e0 di Roma<\/a> investigated how metal composition and battery cycling affect cathode materials. Li-rich layered oxides are crucial for high-performing, sustainable batteries. The Positron Annihilation technique<\/b> helps reveal hidden defects in pristine and cycled materials, vital for battery development aligned with the new EU Circular Economy Action Plan.<\/p>

\"\ud83d\ude4f\" We warmly thank all participants: the user teams<\/strong>, Maik Butterling and Oskar Liedke, the beamline scientists<\/strong>, Eric Hirschmann and Miguel Sequeira, the junior scientists<\/strong> from the ReMade@ARI Smart Science Cluster team<\/a>, as well as Andreas Wagner, the head of the ELBE Center for High-Power Radiation Sources<\/strong> and Stefan Facsko, the head of the Ion Beam Center<\/strong>, for their great contributions.<\/p>

We believe this research will significantly impact material science and the circular economy.<\/p>

\"\ud83d\ude4f\" That research work has received funding from the European Union<\/a> as part of the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-INFRA-2021-SERV-01 under grant agreement number 101058414 and co-funding by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)<\/a> under the UK government\u2019s Horizon Europe funding guarantee (grant number 10039728) and by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI)<\/a> under contract number 22.00187.<\/p>
