This research focuses on the development of nanofabrication processes. The process generates nanometer length scale phases through simple mechanical or chemical reaction methods. This research includes fundamental and practical aspects. Fundamentally, the structure-surface properties influenced by external energy will be studied. Materials involved in this study are amorphous, nanocrsytalline, and piezoelectric ones. The simplicity and flexibility of the techniques is a significant advantage for synthesis and characterization of nano-structures. The potential applications fall in nanomachining, assembly, nanosensors, and development of MEMS and NEMS.
