The ultimate aim of this project is to rationally design and optimize new types of environmentally-sustainable, cost-effective and high performance microwave dielectric materials and devices for advanced information and communication technology (ICT) applications. This is a designated National Research Priority area. Our fundamental understanding of dielectric materials and their properties will be enhanced considerably by working on this project. Further, we will promote the relationship between the fundamental science of polar crystalline materials and practical applications. If successful, the results will enhance Australia's capacity and standing in this highly competitive area. Read moreRead less
