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

在过去的25年里，我们见证了价值数万亿美元的半导体行业推动着信息技术的爆炸式增长。虽然澳大利亚目前还不是该行业的主要参与者，但该提案将使澳大利亚能够在其未来的纳米级电子产品开发中发挥作用，包括传统（无机）半导体器件和基于碳纳米管的新（有机）器件技术。这项研究计划将使澳大利亚的研究人员和学生能够与国际领先的大学（剑桥（英国）和哥本哈根（丹麦））以及日本领先的工业研究机构-日本电报和电信公司合作。

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.
