Summary
Advanced Spectroscopy for Nano-characterisation of Materials Chemistry and Properties. This application proposes to establish a cutting-edge spectroscopic facility which includes; electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Each of the spectrometers to be installed has significantly higher sensitivity and resolution than any other facility available in Australia and is capable ....Advanced Spectroscopy for Nano-characterisation of Materials Chemistry and Properties. This application proposes to establish a cutting-edge spectroscopic facility which includes; electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Each of the spectrometers to be installed has significantly higher sensitivity and resolution than any other facility available in Australia and is capable of full spectrum imaging. This new spectroscopic infrastructure will enable the knowledge-based development of new materials by allowing complete characterisation of structure-composition-property relationships at the nanometre level.Read moreRead less

Summary
Vector Magnetic Field Facility for Nanoscale Spintronic Materials and Device Research. Electronic devices underpin a trillion dollar industry worldwide and are an essential part of modern life. Spintronics (spin-electronics) is an emergent technology that combines the electrical and magnetic properties of electrons to represent and process information. Spintronic chips are expected to be fast, versatile, capable of simultaneous data storage and processing, while at the same time consuming less ....Vector Magnetic Field Facility for Nanoscale Spintronic Materials and Device Research. Electronic devices underpin a trillion dollar industry worldwide and are an essential part of modern life. Spintronics (spin-electronics) is an emergent technology that combines the electrical and magnetic properties of electrons to represent and process information. Spintronic chips are expected to be fast, versatile, capable of simultaneous data storage and processing, while at the same time consuming less energy. Industry analysts suggest the spintronic market will exceed $10 billion. This facility will provide the critical infrastructure needed to study the electronic and magnetic properties of nanostructured materials, providing the underpinning knowledge to develop the next generation of spintronic devices.Read moreRead less

The CNBP brings together physicists, chemists and biologists focused on a grand challenge controlling nanoscale interactions between light and matter to probe the complex and dynamic nanoenvironments within living organisms. The emerging convergence of nanoscience and photonics offers the opportunity of using light to interrogate nanoscale domains, providing unprecedentedly localised measurements. This will allow biological scientists to understand how single cells react to and communicate with their surroundings. This science will underpin a new generation of devices capable of probing the response of cells within individuals to environmental conditions or treatment, creating innovative and powerful new sensing platforms.Read moreRead less
Nanoscale control of energy and matter for future energy-efficient technologies. Unprecedented control of energy and matter in nanoscale fabrication will be achieved using non-equilibrium self-organised plasma-solid systems. The outcomes will lead to energy-efficient, environment- and human-health-friendly production of nanomaterials for future energy, health, information, food, water, environmental and security technologies.
