The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Microwave characterisation of new magnetic and dielectric structures and materials. The main goal of the project is to characterize electromagnetic properties of single crystal dielectric and polycrystalline ferrite materials at microwave frequencies, from room temperature down to liquid helium temperature. Also cylindrical and spherical resonant Bragg structures will be investigated using some of these materials. The dielectric rod resonator technique will be used for all materials and the whis ....Microwave characterisation of new magnetic and dielectric structures and materials. The main goal of the project is to characterize electromagnetic properties of single crystal dielectric and polycrystalline ferrite materials at microwave frequencies, from room temperature down to liquid helium temperature. Also cylindrical and spherical resonant Bragg structures will be investigated using some of these materials. The dielectric rod resonator technique will be used for all materials and the whispering gallery mode technique will be used to measure the lowest loss materials. Very accurately measured microwave parameters of electric and magnetic materials will be made available to designers of new components and systems (especially useful for operation at cryogenic temperatures).Read moreRead less
Investigations and characterization of new materials for wireless communications. The main goal of the project is to characterize electromagnetic properties of single crystal dielectric materials available from different sources at microwave frequencies, in a wide range of temperatures from room down to liquid helium temperatures. Two measurement techniques are proposed to be used for this purpose: the dielectric rod resonator technique for all materials and the whispering gallery mode technique ....Investigations and characterization of new materials for wireless communications.

Spin dependent transport in magnetic nanostructures. The ability to use electron spin in electronic circuits has opened new possibilities for designing devices. A well known example is the giant magnetoresistance, a phenomena discovered over fifteen years ago that now plays a key role in current high density magnetic disc drives. Future developments will involve spin dependent transport through structures wherein quantum interference effects will be important. Two basic problems facing the cons ....Spin dependent transport in magnetic nanostructures. The ability to use electron spin in electronic circuits has opened new possibilities for designing devices. A well known example is the giant magnetoresistance, a phenomena discovered over fifteen years ago that now plays a key role in current high density magnetic disc drives. Future developments will involve spin dependent transport through structures wherein quantum interference effects will be important. Two basic problems facing the construction of a complete theory of transport in such ?mesoscopic? conductors will be solved in this project. The results will provide important insights into the dynamics of spin transport through structures such as magnetic nano-wires.Read moreRead less
