Quantum coherence and many-body interactions in inorganic and organic nanoscale electronic devices

The multi-trillion dollar semiconductor industry drives the explosive growth in information technology that we have witnessed over the past 25 years. Although Australia is not presently a major player in the industry, this proposal will enable Australia to play a role in its future development of nanoscale electronics, both in conventional (inorganic) semiconductor devices, and in new (organic) device technologies based on carbon nanotubes. This research program will allow Australian researchers and students to work both with leading international universities (Cambridge (UK) and Copenhagen (Denmark), and a leading Japanese industrial research facility - Nippon Telegraph and Telecommunications.
