The National Science Foundation awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University a $417,779 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop an atomic-scale understanding of thin film growth on van der Waals surfaces. The university will use in situ variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy experiments to test the hypothesis that adatom mobility and well-defined crystallographic orientation relations between substrates, van der Waals layers, and deposits enhance crystallinity of sputter-deposited thin films on hexagonal boron nitride layers. Through time-resolved measurements, researchers will quantitatively determine the role of van der Waals layers in influencing surface diffusivities and morphological evolution kinetics. The project aims to provide new insights into synthesizing high-quality crystalline thin films for various applications via this potentially technologically important approach. The award period is from October 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025.
