Robert Elliman

Emeritus Professor Robert Elliman is an Emeritus Professor of Physics in the Research School of Physics at The Australian National University (ANU). His research interests include semiconductor materials science, nanotechnology, neuromorphic computing, and ion-beam modification of materials. He is also the Director of the ion-implantation node (iiLab) of the NCRIS Heavy-Ion Accelerator Capability. His work spans semiconductor nanotechnology, memristive behaviour in transition metal oxides, neuromorphic computing, and ion-beam induced defects. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, with a significant impact in his field.

Robert Elliman is a researcher at the Australian National University with expertise in physics, materials science, neuromorphic computing, ion implantation, and semiconductors. His work focuses on the integration of ferroelectric thin films, unconventional magnetism in carbon nanofoam, and the role of electronic processes in epitaxial recrystallization of amorphous semiconductors. Elliman investigates ion-beam-induced crystallization and amorphization of silicon, the influence of beam-induced interface rearrangement on solid-phase epitaxial crystallization, and the gettering of copper to hydrogen-induced cavities in silicon. His research also explores optical gain in silicon nanocrystal systems and nanostructured ion beam-modified Ge films for Li ion battery anodes.
