Hole nanoelectronics - new concepts for spintronic devices

这项提案将支持一个新的基础研究计划，该计划将为万亿美元的半导体产业带来巨大的潜力——这个产业非常清楚需要在2020年以后找到传统晶体管的替代品。该研究项目将汇集澳大利亚的研究人员和学生，与德国和英国的领先国际大学合作，包括著名的剑桥大学卡文迪什实验室。该项目将使澳大利亚在发展未来量子和自旋技术方面发挥主导作用，这些技术有可能在未来50年内与过去50年的传统晶体管一样强大。

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.
