Self-assembled surface arrays of mesoscale plasmonic devices for switchable control of coloured surfaces

该项目具有明确的结果，具有潜在的重大商业利益。提议的设备是新颖的，它的发展将加强澳大利亚的科学和技术基础设施，将其带入原创和令人兴奋的方向。它的成功示范将增强澳大利亚在纳米技术领域的竞争地位，并可能导致在澳大利亚或澳大利亚实体感兴趣的制造活动。设想的应用包括光学电路、“智能”窗口和消费设备上的显示表面。

This project has a well-defined outcome with potentially significant commercial interest. The proposed device is novel and the development of it will enhance the science and technology infrastructure within Australia, taking it into original and exciting directions. A successful demonstration of it will enhance Australia's competitive position in the field of nanotechnology and could conceivably lead to a manufacturing activity either located in Australia or in which Australian entities have an interest. Envisaged applications include optical circuitry, 'smart' windows and display surfaces on consumer devices.
