Funded Activity Summary

Hole nanoelectronics - new concepts for spintronic devices. This proposal will support a new basic research initiative in an area with enormous potential for the trillion dollar semiconductor industry - an industry that is well aware of the need to find a replacement for the conventional transistor beyond 2020. This research program will bring together Australian researchers and students to work with leading international universities in Germany and England, including the renowned Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. This project will position Australia to play a leading role in developing future quantum and spin-based technologies that have the potential to be as powerful over the next 50 years as conventional transistors have been over the past 50 years.
