There is intense interest in exploiting diamond's remarkable properties in many fields of science and technology, but fabricating and processing devices remains a major challenge. This project will build on previous work, using a recently discovered novel laser-induced surface phenomenon that enables, for the first time for any material, the exciting prospect of using light to manipulate surface atoms with atomic precision. This project aims to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning the optical interaction to reveal its full potential and use it to address key problems in diamond nano-device fabrication that lie beyond the reach of current techniques. It is expected that the outcomes will directly enhance Australia's current strengths in diamond-based quantum and photonic technologies.

许多科学技术领域都对利用金刚石的卓越特性产生了浓厚的兴趣，但制造和加工设备仍然是一个重大挑战。该项目将建立在之前的工作基础上，利用最近发现的新型激光诱导表面现象，首次为任何材料带来使用光以原子精度操纵表面原子的令人兴奋的前景。该项目旨在阐明支撑光学相互作用的机制，以揭示其全部潜力，并利用它来解决金刚石纳米器件制造中超出当前技术范围的关键问题。预计这些成果将直接增强澳大利亚目前在基于钻石的量子和光子技术方面的优势。
