This $385,588 National Science Foundation Integrative Activities Project Grant supports the development of lanthanide-doped metal halide perovskite nanocrystals for sensitive detection of short wavelength radiation by Oakwood University, Inc. from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The award aims to investigate the feasibility of integrating lanthanide-doped perovskite nanoparticles that efficiently down-convert ultraviolet and x-ray photons to visible and near-infrared radiation with silicon avalanche photodiodes. This proposed nanocomposite scintillator-photodetector system seeks to enable compact, rugged, and sensitive detection of a few photons within 10 nanoseconds for applications in imaging, atmospheric monitoring, medical technology, and homeland security. The grant also supports undergraduate research training and outreach efforts to broaden participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
