This project focuses on the development of new scientific and technological aspects of the fabrication, properties and operation of novel hybrid systems for revolutionizing electricity handling and electronics. It will also solve some existing problems of film structures with promising multilayer technology. Hybrid systems, often make the headlines in science and are gaining an increasingly promising outlook in materials engineering, nanotechnology and electronics, promising eventual application in a broad range of industries. This project will establish Australia's capability at the forefront in this area. The outcomes predicted will benefit existing Australian companies and may establish new companies dealing with these hybrid systems.Read moreRead less
Electron transport in semiconductor nanowire devices - Setting two top nanoelectronics problems on the straight and narrow. This project will establish a new program to build electronic devices using tiny semiconductor nanowires. This project will contribute strongly to Australia's ongoing efforts in semiconductor nanotechnology and quantum information science, and allow Australia to play a leading role in the development of the next generation of electronics technologies.
Building up quantum electronics with tailored semiconductor nanostructures. This project aims to develop nanoscale indium arsenide/ gallium antimonide (InAs/GaSb) devices produced ‘from the bottom up’ using three-dimensional templated semiconductor growth methods. This material has a pair of electron and hole layers separated by a few nanometres, which provide access to states of matter such as exciton condensates and topological insulators with potential use in quantum information technologies. ....Building up quantum electronics with tailored semiconductor nanostructures. This project aims to develop nanoscale indium arsenide/ gallium antimonide (InAs/GaSb) devices produced ‘from the bottom up’ using three-dimensional templated semiconductor growth methods. This material has a pair of electron and hole layers separated by a few nanometres, which provide access to states of matter such as exciton condensates and topological insulators with potential use in quantum information technologies. The project will use templates growth to create devices where the InAs/GaSb interface sits perpendicular to the device plane. This project’s work on growth, design and production of nanoscale devices will give Australia’s transitioning economy competitive advantage and agility in critical sectors of nanotechnology, quantum technologies and energy efficient devices.Read moreRead less
New approach to control grain boundary behaviour in superconducting thin films. This project aims at finding a new approach to overcome the cornerstone problem of high temperature superconducting films through new design, magnetic interactions, and real-time magnetic flux visualisation at the quantum level. The expected ultimate achievement would be to develop new technologies, delivering the best performance of the films.
