The principal aim of this project is to attract and retain very high calibre early career researchers by providing them with the best-available infrastructure and research environment, combined with world-class supervision and mentoring. The project brings together an outstanding team of international collaborators, who will work with the early career researchers to ensure that they are trained and mentored at an international level. The new science, novel characterisation methods, and theoretical models that are outcomes of this project will provide new opportunities and expertise to advance the strategic defence and national security interests of Australia, and the emerging Australian semiconductor device and solar cell industry.

Summary
Advanced facility for magneto-transport characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures. This facility combines a 16 Tesla superconducting magnet with temperature variability from 1.5 degrees above absolute zero to 500 degrees with advanced mobility spectrum analysis algorithms. It will enable improved separation of previously indistinguishable multiple carrier effects in advanced semiconductor systems. This improved separation will allow an improved understanding of multiple carrier effects wh ....Advanced facility for magneto-transport characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures. This facility combines a 16 Tesla superconducting magnet with temperature variability from 1.5 degrees above absolute zero to 500 degrees with advanced mobility spectrum analysis algorithms. It will enable improved separation of previously indistinguishable multiple carrier effects in advanced semiconductor systems. This improved separation will allow an improved understanding of multiple carrier effects which will be essential before the development of frontier semiconductor technologies becomes possible.Read moreRead less

Summary
Single-Molecule Circuitry for Nanoscale Electronic Devices. The aim of this project is to develop novel methods for forming robust single-molecule circuitry. The use of single molecules in electronics represents the next level of miniaturisation of electronic components, which would enable us to meet the expanding demands of modern technologies and to continue the downscaling trend in electronic devices.

The aim of this project is to develop novel methods for forming robust single-molecule circuitry. The use of single molecules in electronics represents the next level of miniaturisation of electronic components, which would enable us to meet the expanding demands of modern technologies and to continue the downscaling trend in electronic devices. This project aims to address the requirements needed to translate single-molecule electronics from its current status as a fundamental tool to real-world applications. Key approaches will be the use of surface chemistry to develop new methods of wiring single molecules and the integration of robust single-molecule junctions with semiconducting electrodes. The expected project outcomes pave the way for single-molecule electronic and analytical devices.Read moreRead less
