Interlayer magnetoresistance of strongly correlated electron materials

信息和娱乐技术的持续快速发展需要新的材料和设备来存储信息。最先进的电脑和iPod存储器使用了由原子层组成的先进材料，获得了2007年诺贝尔物理学奖。这些材料具有与铜、黄铜等简单金属完全不同的金属特性。这项研究将导致对设计下一代材料的更好理解和能力。澳大利亚在这一具有科学挑战性和技术重要性的领域的研究和发展能力将通过该项目得到加强。

The continued rapid expansion of information and entertainment technology requires new materials and devices for information storage. State of the art computer and iPod memories utilise advanced materials composed of layers of atoms, recognised by the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics. These materials have metallic properties quite unlike those of simple metals such as copper and brass. This research will lead to a greater understanding of and ability to design the next generation of materials. Australia's capacity for research and development in this scientifically challenging and technologically important field will be enhanced by this project.
