Emory University received a $519,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to support research on controlling photoinduced electron transfer from quantum confined semiconductor nanocrystals. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and runs from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. Under this award, Professor Tianquan Lian and students at Emory University will conduct two lines of research. First, they will investigate using polaritons formed by coupling nanocrystals with optical cavity modes to control photoinduced electron transfer, with the goal of advancing understanding of polariton dynamics and directly measuring polariton-mediated transfer. Second, they will explore using chiral-induced spin selectivity effects in nanocrystal-chiral bridge-acceptor complexes to selectively transfer light-generated spins, in order to develop design principles for nanocrystals with both slow electron spin relaxation and fast transfer rates. The research aims to enhance fundamental understanding and open potential applications in energy conversion and quantum information science.
