Funded Activity Summary

Understanding of nanostructures and magnetic properties of Ge-based diluted magnetic semiconductors for spintronic devices. The success of growing high-quality germanium-based diluted magnetic semiconductors will position Australian fundamental & applied research at the world forefront of magnetic semiconductors. This multi-disciplinary research will not only secure a number of high-impact publications in leading international journals, but also has the potential to generate patentable technologies which might bring potential economic benefits to Australia. In addition, the project will strengthen the collaboration between Australian researchers and world-renowned scientists and will allow Australian researchers to access world-best fabrication facilities. All these will enhance the international competitive profile of Australia in the field of spintronics.
