Physics of High Power Pulsed Plasmas for Materials Synthesis. The new science produced will have a direct benefit on the synthesis of a new generation of materials for many applications, such as transparent conductive oxides, multilayer structures, and heat mirror materials for glazings. Many of these materials will help reduce energy consumption in the built environment and hence Australia's emission of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, it will help to develop environmentally clean production met ....Physics of High Power Pulsed Plasmas for Materials Synthesis.

Many of these materials will help reduce energy consumption in the built environment and hence Australia's emission of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, it will help to develop environmentally clean production methods for many existing as well as new applications by replacing liquid based production techniques such as electroplating which generate toxic liquid wastes.

- experience in the design, construction and development of scientific instruments.
Possible applications include high-speed ....Visualizing spin-related properties of functional nanostructures (for spintronics). This project contributes to undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral research and training to encourage the pursuit of excellence, with:
- 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.
