- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research on the non-linear response of quantum materials. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the far-from-equilibrium behavior of electrons in materials when driven out of their steady state, which has previously been limited by experimental constraints. Key products and services to be delivered include:...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a $310,309 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on August 15, 2021 to fund research titled "Controlling Exciton Dynamics at Interfaces Using Moiré Potentials" through July 31, 2023. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports research aimed at advancing understanding of major problems in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the awarded research will investigate controlling exciton dynamics, or energy transfer processes, at material interfaces using Moiré patterns, which are interference patterns that emerge at the junction of two lattices with a slight mismatch. The work is expected to enhance fundamental understanding of energy and charge transport at the nanoscale, with potential applications in solar energy conversion and other technologies. The University of Kansas will serve as the primary awardee and place of performance for the research.
