A multiple ion beam facility for microscopy and nanofabrication

本计画旨在建立一个强大的多离子束系统，以应用于奈米科学的研究。对定制疗法、安全通信和高效能量收集的需求促使开发能够与环境交互的纳米级设备：具有全功能传感器、检测器、能量和数据处理模块的纳米技术系统。该项目将提高在纳米尺度上观察和操纵材料结构的能力。该项目预计将提高澳大利亚在纳米科学方面的研究能力，并开发用于纳米电子、能源和环境以及结构材料的材料。这些成果将有利于澳大利亚发展先进制造业的能力。

This project aims to establish a powerful multiple ion beam system for nanoscience research. The demand for customised therapies, secure communication and efficient energy harvesting prompts the development of nanoscale devices that can interface and interact with the environment: nanotechnology systems with fully functional sensors, detectors, energy and data processing modules. This project would increase the ability to observe and manipulate the structure of materials at the nanometre length-scale. This project is expected to boost Australia’s research capacity in nanoscience and develop materials for nanoelectronics, energy and the environment, and structural materials. These outcomes will benefit Australia’s capacity to develop advanced manufacturing industries.
