Nanospintronics - Spin Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures

数十亿美元的半导体行业推动了信息技术的爆炸式增长，我们在过去25年中目睹了这一点。该提案将通过开发一类新的自旋电子器件提供重大突破，这将有利于澳大利亚在半导体纳米技术和量子信息科学方面的持续努力，使我们能够在纳米尺度和量子电子学的未来发展中发挥作用。该研究计划将在尖端的半导体研究设施中为澳大利亚学生提供培训，并涉及与国际领先大学的联系，包括梅西大学（新西兰），NTT基础研究实验室（日本）和波鸿大学（德国）。

The multi-billion dollar semiconductor industry drives the explosive growth in information technology that we have witnessed over the past 25 years. This proposal will provide a significant breakthrough by developing a new class of spintronic devices that will be of benefit to Australia's ongoing efforts in semiconductor nanotechnology and quantum information science, allowing us to play a role in the future development of nanoscale and quantum electronics. This research program will provide training for Australian students in a cutting-edge semiconductor research facility, and involve linkages with leading international universities including Massey University (NZ), NTT Basic Research Labs (Japan) and the University of Bochum (Germany).
