Summary
National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic propertie ....National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic properties, central to 'spintronic structure engineering'. State-of-the-art instrumentation is requested to characterise the magnetic and crystallographic structure, the adsorbates, and the lateral distribution and depth profile of fabricated zero, one and two-dimensional structures.Read moreRead less

- increased depth of knowledge in interdisciplinary research,
- a scientific environment providing access to research not otherwise in Australia,
- experience in the design, construction and development of scientific instruments.
Possible applications include high-speed magnetic filters, sensors, quantum transistors and spin qubits for quantum computers. The technological aspects of our project's outcomes offer real prospects of local development. The development of spin-polarized electron spectroscopy has great potential for existing applications in the surface science industry.

Investigation of spin excitations in ferromagnetic submicro- and nanostructures. The project will last 12 months and will be devoted to investigation of spin-wave dynamics in thin ferromagnetic-film sub-micro- and nano-structures for possible applications to microwave\millimetre wave electronic devices and to novel magnetic memory devices. Excitation of spin-wave modes in confined in magnetic nano- and submicro-objects (from the super-paramagnetic size limit up to 700 nm) will be theoreticall ....Investigation of spin excitations in ferromagnetic submicro- and nanostructures. The project will last 12 months and will be devoted to investigation of spin-wave dynamics in thin ferromagnetic-film sub-micro- and nano-structures for possible applications to microwave\millimetre wave electronic devices and to novel magnetic memory devices. Excitation of spin-wave modes in confined in magnetic nano- and submicro-objects (from the super-paramagnetic size limit up to 700 nm) will be theoretically studied. In co-operation with other research groups the obtained theoretical results will be experimentally verified. New information on microwave properties of the structures will be obtained. Possibility of application of the magnetic structures to construct new microwave devices will be considered.Read moreRead less

Integrating spinning disc processing (SDP), which is new to Australia, with advances in magnetic properties of nanoparticles will have wide ranging applications in nanotechnology. The cutting edge research will foster collaboration with industry, and lead to new industries in memory device technology, nano-medicine, and catalysis, through exploiting commercial opportunities. Continuous flow SDP technology in industry has a small footprint and low capital cost outlay. The project will provide excellent research training in a range of scientific skills and in professional development, and will involve overseas PhD exchange programs. The exciting research incorporating nano-toxicology will enhance public opinion towards nanotechnology.Read moreRead less
