Nanoionics - the Developing Informative System. Part 3. Generation of Prognostic Information and the Role of Strategic Innovation Management in the Development of Nanoionics

Abstract

A critical review of the stages of formation, development, and current state of nanoionics in Russia and in the world is presented. Nanoionics is the science, technology, and application of fast ion transport phenomena in solid-state devices and nanostructures. Nanoionics is considered to be a developing information system, its history is first analyzed in terms of D. S. Chernavskii's dynamic information theory and in the context of the influence of strategic innovation management. In the final part of the review, an in-depth methodological analysis of the evolution of nanoionics in the environment of adjacent disciplines (nanoarchitectonics and iontonics) is performed. The aim of the work is to develop a methodology of scientific knowledge and strategic management. The analysis of nanoionics evolution is carried out in terms of conjuncture and prognostic information, class-subclass relations between attributive spaces of the competing disciplines. It is shown that nanoarchitectonics and iontronics cannot serve as meta-disciplines, because they do not have emergent attributes that are incompatible with the attributes of the discipline "nanotechnology", understood in the broad sense. Also, at present, interface nanoarchitectonics does not generalize nanoionics due to the lack of new attributes in the thesaurus. The results obtained go beyond the relationship of nano-disciplines, as the methodology used is based on the definition of information and addresses the problem of the mechanism of generation of prognostic information.
