Funded Activity Summary

Helium Atom Detection in Scanning Helium Microscopy. The development of an imaging helium atom detector based on carbon nanotubes would be world-first achievement and would place Australia at the forefront of technology in this field. The concurrent goal of understanding the contrast mechanisms that occur in helium atom scattering is also fundamental to the development of the scanning helium microscope. This project secures Australia's position at the forefront of atom microscopy by strategically targeting the cutting-edge science critical for this emerging technology. A significant side-benefit of a nanotube based detector is that it could be incorporated into battery-operated portable gas sensors for use in environmental, industrial and even counter-terrorism applications.
