Current-carrying holes confined to one-dimension show unique spin in UNSW study

UNSW researchers solve a 10-year-old mystery in the way nanoscale transistors work. Half of all the transistors in your iPhone use positively-charged ‘holes’, rather than negatively-charged electrons to operate. At university, we teach undergraduates that holes are quasiparticles, basically ‘missing electrons’ – a bit like the bubble in a spirit level, or the missing chair in a game of musical …

RMIT: Spin transport and spin transfer torque in heterostructures of two-dimensional materials

Supervisor: A/Prof. Lan Wang 2D materials: Dimensionality plays a crucial role in determining the fundamental properties of materials, which has already been strikingly high-lighted by the discovery of graphene [1]. Graphene has many attractive properties for electronics and spintronics, such as gate-tunable carrier concentration, exceptional high electric mobility (> 105 cm2V-1s-1 at room temperature) and long spin-diffusion length. Other novel …

Monash Open Day introduces FLEET to students and public

Monash University’s recent open day provided a great opportunity to explain FLEET to a large audience. The FLEET zone in the School of Physics and Astronomy area allowed for hands-on demonstrations, while lab tours provided a closer look at the research and FLEET director Michael Fuhrer presented a talk on the big picture challenges of energy use in global computing. …

Research Seminar: Hans-Christoph Mertins

Magneto-Optical Polarisation Spectroscopy with Synchrotron Radiation on Graphene Seminar flyer can be downloaded here. All welcome. Abstract: Polarisation spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation is a powerful tool for both, the investigation of structural and magnetic order in bulk material and two-dimensional systems. After giving an experimental review on polarisation detectors for synchrotron radiation the application to non-magnetic as well as to …

Band alignment at semiconductor junction looking good for low-resistance contacts

The future of ultra-low resistance semiconductor junctions in novel low-energy electronics is looking good after a recent study took a very close look at band alignment. FLEET is using two-dimensional materials in the search for new electronics devices that will carry electrical current without losing the significant energy dissipated in current, silicon technology. The new electronic devices developed at FLEET …
