Understanding the role of catalysts in the growth of epitaxial semiconductor nanowires and their hierarchical heterostructures

该奖学金旨在全面确定纳米线生长过程中催化剂的作用，解决生长器件适用的纳米线的瓶颈问题。为了应对这一复杂的科学挑战，该项目计划与不同领域的几位世界领先的研究人员合作，例如增长，属性测量和建模。该奖学金的成果不仅将提供纳米线生长方面的新科学，而且还为未来纳米器件和纳米系统的设计，开发和制造基于纳米线的纳米结构提供指导方针。这对澳大利亚在纳米科学和纳米技术发展方面处于领先地位具有重要的战略意义。

This Fellowship aims to comprehensively determine the role of catalysts during nanowire growth, solving the bottle-neck problem for growing device-applicable nanowires. In order to address this complicated scientific challenge, the project plans to collaborate with several world-leading researchers in different areas, such as growth, property measurements and modelling. The outcomes of this Fellowship will not only provide new science in terms of nanowire growth, but also provide guidelines for designing, developing and manufacturing nanowire-based nanostructures for future nanodevices and nanosystems. This is strategically important to place Australia at the forefront of developments on nanoscience and nanotechnology.
