The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley received a $700,077 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate nonequilibrium states and photoinduced transitions in topological superlattices. The research focuses on a ferroelectric/paraelectric heterostructure composed of alternating strontium titanate and lead titanate layers (STO-PTO), which exhibit complex polarization patterns that can be dynamically manipulated using ultrafast laser pulses. The project aims to provide novel insights into interface and defect-mediated correlations in these mesoscale systems, and includes educational activities to train the next generation of scientists and engineers in physics, chemistry, and materials science. The award period is from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026.
