Band engineered heterostructures for next generation mercury cadmium telluride infrared photodetectors. The application of unique heterostructures in mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) photodetectors is proposed to address at least four problems: increase of operating temperature, passivation, multiband operation, fill factor. This ambitious project will lead to a significant step forward the HgCdTe infrared photodetector physics and technology.

Summary
National Facility for Infrared Technologies. This project aims to establish a national facility for infrared (IR) technologies. The facility will include advanced imaging and spectroscopy facilities as well as unique tools for wafer-scale mapping of IR materials and devices. Combined, the facility will enable new diagnostic capabilities of supersonic combustion processes, aid establishment of wavelength agile integrated photonic chips and provide non-destructive quantitative electro-optical char ....National Facility for Infrared Technologies. This project aims to establish a national facility for infrared (IR) technologies. The facility will include advanced imaging and spectroscopy facilities as well as unique tools for wafer-scale mapping of IR materials and devices. Combined, the facility will enable new diagnostic capabilities of supersonic combustion processes, aid establishment of wavelength agile integrated photonic chips and provide non-destructive quantitative electro-optical characterisation of IR materials and devices. Establishment of these state-of-the-art capabilities across Australia will have clear benefits in fundamental sciences such as astronomy and quantum information as well as key industry branches in defence, aerospace, communications and security.Read moreRead less

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
Tissue engineered muscle actuators as evocative cultural objects and vehicles for discourses about material agency and living machines. This interdisciplinary project will be examining shifting perceptions of what is living through case study of a vital-machine; tissue engineered muscle actuators in custom made bioreactors. It will further discourses about posthumanist perceptions of movement as an indicator for life with agency; suggesting new knowledge and modes of inquiry of material life.
