The proposed research will enhance our ability to make both light emitting diodes (LEDs) and piezoelectric actuators from ZnO. LEDs are a high efficiency light source that save energy compared to conventional illumination sources and can be fabricated in thin films. The proposal is to also bring the technology for device fabrication to Australia where it can ultimately be used to broaden the economic base of the country. The knowledge of crystal growth rate and crystal morphology control can be applied to improvements in the efficiency of alumina production which is already an important contributor to Australian exports.

拟议的研究将提高我们的能力，使发光二极管（LED）和压电执行器从ZnO。 LED是一种高效光源，与传统照明源相比节省能量，并且可以制造成薄膜。 该提案还将把设备制造技术带到澳大利亚，最终可用于扩大该国的经济基础。 晶体生长速率和晶体形态控制的知识可用于提高氧化铝生产效率，氧化铝生产已经是澳大利亚出口的重要贡献者。
