There are >300 2D materials like graphene with potentially exotic and useful electrooptic and superconductor properties that will drive novel industrial applications. This project aims to use advanced computational and experimental techniques to discover and fabricate new 2D hybrid materials built from different layers of 2D materials. This approach is essential as the number of possible hybrids is huge (millions) and current processes to identify and build 2D hybrids are technically challenging and slow. Expected outcomes include defining a new paradigm for efficient identification and synthesis of 2D hybrids with exotic, bespoke properties. The generation of a large database of materials for researchers/industry would be of wide benefit.Read moreRead less

Summary
Designing next generation smart materials for capturing toxic gases. The project aims to use rapid computational and experimental screening tools to speed the design and development of robust metal organic frameworks for detecting and capturing toxic gases. Detecting and capturing toxic gases is vital for numerous industrial processes. Metal organic frameworks are porous materials that hold the world record for specific surface area and storage of gases.

The project aims to use rapid computational and experimental screening tools to speed the design and development of robust metal organic frameworks for detecting and capturing toxic gases. Detecting and capturing toxic gases is vital for numerous industrial processes. Metal organic frameworks are porous materials that hold the world record for specific surface area and storage of gases. Their development and application in practical conditions require stability in the operating environment. It is expected that this project will lead to the development of efficient and effective porous materials that detect and capture toxic gases, thus improving Australian industry’s ability to monitor and eliminate emissions, improving air quality and public health.Read moreRead less
Understanding and eliminating dissipation in superconducting devices: the origin of two-level defects. Superconducting quantum circuits constitute the next generation of nano-electronics. They find application in medicine, biology and geophysics; from mapping mineral deposits to imaging heart function, and are a promising candidate for quantum information processing and high speed electronics.

Superconducting quantum circuits constitute the next generation of nano-electronics. They find application in medicine, biology and geophysics; from mapping mineral deposits to imaging heart function, and are a promising candidate for quantum information processing and high speed electronics. A major loss mechanism within a Josephson junction (which forms the basis of a quantum circuit) is caused by intrinsic two-level defects. What is not known is the true microscopic nature of these defects, although there are many theories. This project aims to unravel this mystery using detailed theoretical and computation analysis based on precision experimental characterisation.Read moreRead less
