Funded Activity Summary

Electronics with spin: Investigating spin-dependent electrical properties of semiconductor nano-devices. Devices such as the integrated circuit and semiconductor lasers are products of basic research, and form the basis of new industries that have revolutionised society. Quantum physics was the science of the 20th century and is likely to become a key technology of the 21st century. This project will keep Australia at the forefront of the search for new and potentially commercially useful applications of quantum physics. The project will also provide training for Australian students to work in a cutting-edge semiconductor research facility, and involves linkages with leading international laboratories including Massey University (NZ), the University of Cambridge (UK), and NTT Basic Research Labs (Japan).
