The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

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 ....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.

Magnetic and electric field tuneable magnetic heterostructures. Australian science and technology will be a leading participant in the creation of a new, useful magneto-electric composite material whose properties arise from careful atomic level design. This goal has been long sought after, and only recently come within reach. Recent proof-of-concept demonstrations have inspired an explosion of activity on a global scale together with intensive searches for additional examples of useful materia ....Magnetic and electric field tuneable magnetic heterostructures. Australian science and technology will be a leading participant in the creation of a new, useful magneto-electric composite material whose properties arise from careful atomic level design. This goal has been long sought after, and only recently come within reach. Recent proof-of-concept demonstrations have inspired an explosion of activity on a global scale together with intensive searches for additional examples of useful material combinations. In this project, young Australian scientists and research students will have opportunities to receive training and become involved in a National Priority Frontier Technology rich in possibilities for generation of intellectual property.Read moreRead less
Memory effects in magnetic metals: origin, utility and control in magnetoelectronics using layered nanopatterns. The work is in the important area of magneto-electronics, a field recognised by the 2007 Nobel Prize awarded in Physics. Training opportunities for Honours and postgraduate students will be provided at the forefront of this high profile area, thereby expanding Australian knowledge base and capability. New opportunities for interaction between several groups in Australia will be create ....Memory effects in magnetic metals: origin, utility and control in magnetoelectronics using layered nanopatterns. The work is in the important area of magneto-electronics, a field recognised by the 2007 Nobel Prize awarded in Physics. Training opportunities for Honours and postgraduate students will be provided at the forefront of this high profile area, thereby expanding Australian knowledge base and capability. New opportunities for interaction between several groups in Australia will be created. The projects will involve PhD students shared between Australian institutions and collaborating groups overseas, thereby cementing collaborations while simultaneously providing unique training environments. The project will use and support activities associated with the Australian major facilities. Read moreRead less
Comparative Study of MnAs and Co-Based Magnetoelastic Functional Materials. Magnetoelastic materials are an emerging new class of functional materials with great potential in a wide range of innovative applications including smart structures, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, micro-electromechanical systems, and medical engineering.

Magnetoelastic materials are an emerging new class of functional materials with great potential in a wide range of innovative applications including smart structures, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, micro-electromechanical systems, and medical engineering. The study of magnetoelastic materials is still in its infancy and a great effort is required to develop them into practical materials for engineering application. This study aims to investigate two promising candidate materials: CoNi and MnAs. Expected outcomes include the characterisation of their functional properties and understanding of the mechanisms of magnetoelasticity in these materials. Such understanding is expected to contribute to the development of practical magnetoelastic materials and their applications.
