ChAMP – Chalcogenide Advanced Manufacturing Partnership:

ChAMP brings a together world-class, inter-disciplinary UK team, comprising physicists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists, with expertise spanning fundamental ab initio materials simulations, material discovery, advanced materials manufacturing and characterisation, and state-of-the-art design and device development with the aim of:-

• Establishing a world-leading chalcogenide research and manufacturing facility
• Discovering new and optimize existing compositions within this glass family
• Nurturing existing & develop new links to industry & help them exploit chalcogenide materials
• Developing device demonstrators in key application areas, including electronics, non-linear optics, telecommunications and active and passive infrared components
• To partner with UK academia nationwide, beyond the partners within this collaboration, giving them the opportunity to explore new and emerging applications of chalcogenides
• This consists of leading academics from Southampton, Exeter, Oxford, Cambridge and Heriot-Watt Universities, all of whom work extensively with chalcogenides.
