Funded Activity Summary

Platinum-group Metal Oxides with Modulated Crystal Structures: Flexible Frameworks Designed for Geometrically Frustrated Magnetism. Magnetic materials are of huge importance to modern society because of the key roles they play in devices such as hard disks, sensors, switches and permanent magnets. This project will focus on the chemical design and synthesis of novel, flexible and unconventional magnetic materials. Their study will lead to improved theories of magnetism and superconductivity, and ultimately to technologies such as new data-storage media. The project will also help introduce Australian scientists to their new research reactor and synchrotron, which will play critical roles by allowing exceptionally thorough and systematic studies to be carried out.
