Funded Activity Summary

Amorphisation of Semiconductor and Elemental Metallic Nanocrystals by Ion Irradiation. This proposal is consistent with Research Priority 3: Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries and Priority Goals: Breakthrough Science, Advanced Materials and Frontier Technologies. We seek to understand and develop a unique methodology for modifying and tailoring the structure of semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals in ways not achievable within the bulk phase. Our results and accompanying scientific insight will broaden the applicability of these materials in advanced technologies, enhance the national research profile, increase the domestic knowledge base and yield skilled, young scientists trained to utilize the Australian Synchrotron when commissioned in 2007.
