Summary
Understanding and controlling the properties of Dirac electronic materials. This project will gain deep insights into a new class of materials that includes graphene, the thinnest possible plane of carbon. New electronic properties will be engineered in Dirac materials to make them valuable for applications in computing, sensors, and solar power generation.
Nanoscale characterisation and manipulation of complex oxide interfaces and topological boundaries. Working at the forefront of complex oxide materials research, this project will explore novel material properties and develop new material application concepts. The project will specifically investigate nanoscale interfaces for potential breakthrough applications in nanoscience.
Next generation excitonic solar cells using advanced charge generation concepts: setting the new efficiency benchmark. Next generation cheap organic solar cells will be developed, which will facilitate the large scale deployment of affordable solar cells, thus enabling Australia to reduce its carbon footprint. The proposed significant advances in solar cell design will place Australia at the forefront of this technology creating new industries.
