CAMM

Development vs. Use of Materials R&D Tools Development:

Need to develop computationally-intensive simulation tools Ab-initio physics-based models, phase field modeling and finite element

modeling Use of high performance computing facilities - e.g., OSC

Use: Need to access simulation tools on a desktop PC

Need to access characterization and testing tools for calibration of simulation tools for new materials systems/types

Develop novel experimental techniques for: Rapid population of databases for development of neural networks for new

materials Multi-scale materials characterization, from nano- to macro-scale, to supply

mechanisms required for models

CAMM

Requirements for Access by Industry

Need to access simulation tools on a desktop PC Use of computationally-intensive models to calibrate neural networks

Examples: New scanning electron microscopes with required

performance - $450k State-of-the-art transmission electron microscope - $4M.

Need to access characterization and testing tools for calibration of simulation tools for new materials systems/types

Major problem: Cost of equipment is out of reach for most companies - both

legacy industries and new start-up ventures

Location asymmetry: CAMM has the equipment, industry doesn’t

Largely Result of Action and Investment Funds

CAMM has acquired a world-class set of equipment for materials characterization

CAMM

Example of State of the Art Acquisition by CAMM

CAMM has already ordered this microscope!

CAMM

Solution: Remote Access using Third Frontier Network Provide remote access to equipment - and so full advantage of CAMM’s

computational R&D tools may be realized Speed of the network permits this to occur in real time - essential for

efficient use of the equipment

Provide this access to industry, national laboratories (e.g., AFRL and NASA Glenn), and other universities
