LIST (MRT)
Core business
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a mission-driven Research and Technology Organization (RTO) that develops advanced technologies and delivers innovative products and services to industry and society. As a major engine of the diversification and growth of Luxembourg’s economy through innovation, LIST supports the deployment of a number of solutions to a wide range of sectors, including energy, IT, telecommunications, environment, agriculture, and advanced manufacturing at national and European level. Thanks to its location in an exceptional collaborative environment, namely the Belval Innovation Campus, LIST accelerates time to market by maximizing synergies with different actors, including the university, the national funding agency and industrial clusters, such as the Luxembourg Material Cluster.The MRT department carries out application-driven research in the following fields:
- Nanomaterials: industry-scalable and/or unique production processes are used to fabricate innovative nanostructured materials for industrial applications with a very fine control of the composition, structure and architecture down to the atomic scale; transparent electronics
- Multifunctional Ferroic Materials: the research is focused on 4 specific topics: Piezoelectrics & Piezotronics / Calorics / Photoferroelectrics & interaction with light / Atomistic Modelling;
- Innovative processes to treat and functionalise surfaces and to deposit thin layers with optimised chemical, thermal, mechanical and physical properties;
- Sustainable Multifunctional Polymeric & Composite Materials: Bio-based materials / Surfaces and interfaces / Design & Durability;
- Design/development of scientific instruments using ultra-vacuum techniques, electrostatic optics and plasma physics, allowing developing unique analytical instruments and custom-designed surface treatment techniques that can be transferred directly to industry. Specific expertise in mass spectrometry.
- Chemical-Physical Characterisation of materials, surfaces and interfaces down to the nanometre scale; range of mechanical testing, fire testing, aging under different climate conditions
