This project aims to develop highly sensitive X-ray detectors enabling high spatial resolution imaging using low radiation dosages through advancement of new fabrication and engineering strategies of novel semiconductor perovskite crystals. The revolutionary X-ray detectors developed in this project will surpass the limitations of conventional detectors in terms of sensitivity, radiation risks and cost. Expected outcomes will generate new fundamental knowledge on the structure-property-performance relationships in next-generation perovskite X-ray detectors. This project will place Australia at the forefront of research in the fields of materials science and nanotechnology – through the establishment of strong international collaborations.","funding-current":1153947.00,"funding-at-announcement":1129536,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Munkhbayar","familyName":"Batmunkh","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-7493-4186 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Munkhbayar","familyName":"Batmunkh","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-7493-4186 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"Griffith University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"Griffith University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4016","name":"Materials Engineering","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401605","name":"Functional Materials","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401805","name":"Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"280105","name":"Expanding Knowledge In the Chemical Sciences","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280110","name":"Expanding Knowledge In Engineering","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["Japan","United States of America"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"X-rays are extensively utilised and play a critical role in various fields including security checks, medical imaging, industrial monitoring, scientific research and equipment. Direct digital X-ray detectors rely strongly on semiconductor materials to convert X-rays directly into electrical charges to produce a digital image. The existing commercial semiconductors suffer from issues associated with limited X-ray absorption leading to high potential exposure to X-rays, unsatisfactory sensitivity, inherently complex manufacturing processes and their associated costs. This project aims to design next-generation X-ray detectors by advancing the development of novel perovskite semiconductor crystals. The proposed research will develop safer, cost-effective and revolutionary X-ray technology with high sensitivity, excellent spatial resolution and improved user comfort, making significant contributions to Australia’s security, defence, medical and research sectors. This project will generate new advanced knowledge in the fields of materials science, nanoscience and technology, and optoelectronics, enhancing Australia’s international profile in these fields. The project will provide world-class research training and opportunities for future Australian leaders who will move into Australian industry, education and research institutions to ensure that Australia will drive innovations in materials and nanotechnology for our future commercialisation success."}}}
