Microscopic Origin of Ferromagnetism of Diluted Magnetic Demiconductors

自旋电子学基于自旋和电子的电荷，被认为将彻底改变当前的微电子学，这是接近所谓的硅路线图的终点。实现自旋电子学需要稀磁半导体，就像微电子学中的硅一样。这个项目旨在了解稀磁半导体铁磁性的微观起源-自旋电子学的主要障碍。这项研究解决了突破性科学和前沿技术中的一个重要问题，不仅将扩大澳大利亚的知识基础和研究能力，还将有助于建立澳大利亚的高附加值产业。

Spintronics based on the spin in addition to the charge of electrons is believed to revolutionize current microelectronics, which is approaching the end of the so-called silicon road map. Diluted magnetic semiconductors are required to achieve spintronics, just as silicon in microelectronics. This project aims to understand the microscopic origin of ferromagnetism of diluted magnetic semiconductors - a major obstacle towards spintronics. This research, addressing an important problem in breakthrough science and frontier technologies, will not only expand Australia's knowledge base and research capability, but also help to build Australia's high value-added industries.
