Summary
A High-Throughput Neutron Spectrometer for The Study of Atomic and Molecular Motion at ANSTO. Neutron scattering enables new science across a broad range of disciplines, and for this reason it is undergoing major expansion in the USA, Europe, Japan and Australia. Various diffactometers and spectrometers have recently been built at ANSTO, but an instrumental option for a high-throughput cross-discipline spectroscopy is urgently needed. Fortunately, it is fairly straightforward to add this type of ....A High-Throughput Neutron Spectrometer for The Study of Atomic and Molecular Motion at ANSTO. Neutron scattering enables new science across a broad range of disciplines, and for this reason it is undergoing major expansion in the USA, Europe, Japan and Australia. Various diffactometers and spectrometers have recently been built at ANSTO, but an instrumental option for a high-throughput cross-discipline spectroscopy is urgently needed. Fortunately, it is fairly straightforward to add this type of option to an existing spectrometer that will broaden its user-base from specialised applications in physics to more general applications in physics, chemistry, materials-science and biology. This additional option provides a totally new way for Australian scientists to study atomic and molecular motions. Read moreRead less

The main aim of this project is to establish a state-of-the-art scanning CL microscopy and spectroscopy facility in Australia. The facility will enable high spatial resolution CL analysis of technologically important semiconductors and novel nano-structured materials, e.g. quantum dots and ceramic nano-crystals. These studies will facilitate a deeper understanding of the physics of light emission from nano-structured materials and enable the fabrication of higher quality opto-electronic materials.Read moreRead less

Summary
National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic propertie ....National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic properties, central to 'spintronic structure engineering'. State-of-the-art instrumentation is requested to characterise the magnetic and crystallographic structure, the adsorbates, and the lateral distribution and depth profile of fabricated zero, one and two-dimensional structures.Read moreRead less
