NEPTUNE New generation of ion sources: from deep space missions to upstream nano-technologies

Coordinator: SCIENTIFIC CENTER OF PHYSICAL TECHNOLOGIES OF MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE, YOUTH AND SPORTS OF UKRAINE AND UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE (UA)

The main goal of the proposed NEPTUNE project (“New generation of ion sources: from deep space missions to upstream nano-technologies”) is to enhance the understanding of the physics and exploit the benefits of bipolar charged particle extraction from low temperature plasma. The first NEPTUNE prototype will be built and tested during the project implementation. In the NEPTUNE prototype the generated particle beam will be quasi-neutral, composed by ions and electrons or oppositely charged ions, without the need for an additional neutralization system.The NEPTUNE project brings together scienti…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium.
