Project Grant 2309434
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $469,998 to Arizona State University (ASU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research to investigate the fundamental process of photoionization - how electrons are ejected from molecules when hit by light pulses - using ultrafast X-ray measurement techniques. The research team will employ attosecond (one quintillionth of a second) extreme-ultraviolet and soft-X-ray...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $636,210 to Stony Brook University to develop experimental approaches for studying the ultrafast dynamics of electrons and nuclei in small molecules following the absorption of light. The research team will generate and shape ultrafast laser pulses to capture detailed "movies" of the coupled electron-nuclear motions, with the goal of gaining a more comprehensive...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $501,728 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Emory University for the period of June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026. Under this award, Francesco Evangelista of Emory University and his research team will develop computational methods and open-source computer codes to model core-excited states of molecules experiencing significant electron correlation effects. This will allow them to simulate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $128,948 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University, doing business as Orspa, to investigate the light-driven motion of electrons in atoms and molecules using advanced attosecond spectroscopy techniques. The research project aims to understand the coherent electronic wavepacket motion and how changes in atomic positions impact electron charge distribution after excitation by...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program will enable Brown University to conduct research on controlling and visualizing the interactions of electrons in atomically-thin materials with sub-nanometer-to-nanometer accuracy. The project aims to leverage Brown's expertise in molecular design and 2D device fabrication, along with the advanced scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) facility at Brookhaven National...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort led by Professor Michael Heaven at Emory University and Professor Richard Mawhorter at Pomona College. The $497,664 award, spanning October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will fund gas phase high-resolution molecular spectroscopy measurements to probe candidate molecules for advancing the search for physics beyond the Standard...
- This $557,686 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at Temple University from September 2022 through August 2025 related to molecular quantum control and spectroscopy using light-dressed states. The principal investigators will utilize laser interactions with diatomic molecules to study transition strengths between energy states, investigate the electronic structure of dysprosium and erbium dimer molecules, and control...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) program awarded a $502,799 project grant to Brown University for a collaborative research effort on tracking reactivity in porous materials using terahertz spectroscopies. The grant, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to uncover the atomic-level mechanisms driving gas adsorption in porous materials like metal-organic frameworks and clathrates. Professors Daniel Mittleman of Brown University and...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research by Professor Andrew Musser of Cornell University to understand how light-matter interactions can be used to control the properties of molecules. The $522,354 award, with a performance period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will enable Professor Musser and his students to apply ultrafast laser-based techniques to study how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $542,867 to the University of Houston to study excited state dynamical processes in low-dimensional electronic materials. The research team, led by Dr. Eric Bittner, aims to develop quantum physics theories and methods to predict the behaviors of these materials, which have potential applications in optical electronics, quantum information science, and...
Professor Peter M. Weber of Brown University will use $528,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct time-resolved x-ray scattering experiments measuring precise excited state molecular structures, electron density distributions, and electron-electron pair correlations for selected model systems. The project aims to observe how electrons orbit atomic nuclei in molecules and how their motion correlates, with a focus on changes upon light absorption. Students will be trained in advanced experimental methods and complex simulations. Scattering patterns will be measured at the Linac Coherent Light Source and compared to theoretical computations to benchmark quantum chemistry programs, improving understanding of molecular properties and reactivity. The award period is from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026.
