Exploring the Dynamics of Nanostructure Self-Organisation during Compound Semiconductor Epitaxy

将LEEM应用于GaAs和InAs将是世界上第一次，将澳大利亚定位在纳米级自组织的前沿，导致重要的国际认可和宣传。获得的壮观的电影将彻底改变我们对化合物半导体自组织的基本理解，并促进对使用分子束外延制造纳米结构的改进控制。这将产生与光子学和量子信息处理等前沿技术相关的全新器件结构。该项目将为研究生和优等生提供纳米级表征和同步加速器科学方面的高水平培训。

The application of LEEM to GaAs and InAs will be a world first, positioning Australia at the forefront of nanoscale self-organisation, leading to important international recognition and publicity. The spectacular movies obtained will revolutionise our basic understanding of compound semiconductor self-organisation and facilitate an improved control over nanostructure fabrication using MBE. This will generate entirely new device structures relevant to the frontier technologies of photonics and quantum information processing. The project will provide high level training for post-graduate and honours students in nanoscale characterisation and synchrotron science.
