A process for fabricating synthetic materials by atomic alloying of a host material. Energetic high vapor pressure modifier elements or species are introduced into the host matrix of a fluidic precursor high metling point material so as to obtain an engineered material characterized by a range of controllable optical electrical, thermal, chemical or mechanical properties not exhibited by either the modifier or the precursor material. The method for forming a synthetically engineered material by forming a fluid host matrix material on a moving substrate surface, such as a wheel; directing a plurality of discrete fluid modifier materials, activated or unactivated, in a stream, as from a nozzle, toward the substrate surface in a direction such that it converges with the host matrix material to produce a ribbon of modified material.
A method of fabricating a synthetically engineered material having at least a first melting point component adapted to function as a host matrix for the engineered material, and a second high vapor pressure component, said method including the steps of:
