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.

Pushing the boundaries of current silicon fabrication technology, this proposal will investigate the possibilities of new 3D architectures to ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of world-wide research into atomic-scale electronics. It creates an important link to the latest technologies in atomistic device modelling in the US, developed at Texas Instruments. More importantly, by anticipating the problems that electronic device manufacturers are currently facing, and will face over their long-term horizons, the proposed research also seeks to provide Australia with a chance to lift its involvement in the multi-trillion dollar global semiconductor industry.Read moreRead less

Insight and understanding in Rare-Earth magnetism. Today's technologically driven society relies on magnetic materials to an extent unimaginable even as recently as 20 years ago. Rare-earth transition-metal intermetallics are among the most important magnetic materials, providing the World's strongest magnet with extensive applications. Despite these impressive technological and commercial developments numerous aspects of rare-earth magnetism remain to be developed and resolved.

Rare-earth transition-metal intermetallics are among the most important magnetic materials, providing the World's strongest magnet with extensive applications. Despite these impressive technological and commercial developments numerous aspects of rare-earth magnetism remain to be developed and resolved. The two innovative topics we shall research are the critical interplay between the rare-earth and transition-metal sublattices in ternary compounds, enabling us to understand complex compounds, and exploration of a set of quaternary compounds we have recently discovered, thus opening new areas of rare-earth magnetism.Read moreRead less
