Description

A crystallography for disorder: characterising structural complexity. This project aims to devise new measurement techniques to quantify disorder in complex materials. Complex, non-equilibrium materials predominate in both human technology and nature, and yet their structures cannot be fully understood from conventional methods. The project is expected to solve long-standing problems in the design and optimisation of complex materials for structural, magnetic and optical applications. The project may identify new directions for research in the areas of data driven microscopy and materials discovery. The research should provide new characterisation tools for Australian researchers and industry to accelerate materials design and manufacture in the areas of building, communications, automotive and manufacturing.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3406 - Physical Chemistry. Lead: Dr Amelia Liu
