This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $729,992 to Penn State University to explore emergent magnetic topological states in three-dimensional magnetic topological insulator multilayers. The researchers will employ magnetic topological insulators as primary building blocks to construct heterostructure multilayers and investigate the resulting quantum phenomena. Combining experimental probes with theoretical modeling and simulations, the team aims to realize additional magnetic topological phases such as axion insulators and higher-order topological insulators. If successful, this work may enable energy-efficient electronic and spintronic devices and provide a scientific foundation for transformative electromagnetic applications in quantum information technology. The award period runs from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026.
