Funded Activity Summary

Realisation of novel electronic phases in two-dimensional materials. This project will address one of the most pressing concerns facing society today, the efficient generation, storage, transmission and use of energy. Silicon based transistor technology is approaching the hard limit of efficiency set by thermodynamics, requiring new materials to be found that possess electronic properties that break away from conventional transistor technology. Utilising a new facility being installed by the applicant at the Australian Synchrotron, this project aims to prepare and characterise the electronic properties of free-standing atomically thin bismuth. Successful realisation of this project will provide a radical new approach towards realising more efficient electronic devices for the storage and transmission of energy.
