- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Clemson University's Division of Research a $377,053 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The funding supports research to investigate transient charge and exciton dynamics in halide perovskite semiconductors, particularly under electrical excitation. The project aims to develop an ultrafast electroluminescence testbed to study free charge carrier recombination, exciton funneling and...
- This Project Grant award of $267,508 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to investigate light-induced ferroelectric polarization in hybrid halide perovskites. The goal is to find new ways to control ferroelectricity in these materials using light instead of electricity, which could lead to the development of efficient electronic devices...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $134,855 to Princeton University for research on electrically pumped transient charge-carrier dynamics of metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes. The University will study the transient charge-carrier dynamics of metal halide perovskite LEDs under ultrashort electrical excitation to advance understanding of their...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $242,085 to Emory University to conduct research on ion migration and diffusion in two-dimensional halide perovskite heterostructures. The project aims to develop novel perovskite structures and quantify how ions diffuse and migrate under various external conditions, such as heat, light, and electrical bias. This fundamental research seeks to advance the understanding...
- This $371,847 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports collaborative research at The Johns Hopkins University focused on using two-dimensional metal halide perovskite (2D MHP) thin films as a crystallization templating tool for organic semiconductor (OSC) thin films. The research aims to reduce disorder in OSC crystal packing and control packing geometries to tune optoelectronic behaviors, including...
- This Project Grant award of $532,245.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research by Professors Jin Zhang of the University of California, Santa Cruz and Yuan Ping of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The researchers are using advanced computational and laser techniques to study the behavior of electron spin in two-dimensional (2D) lead-free metal halide double perovskites. This...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a 2-year, $238,316 Project Grant to Wesleyan University to develop new non-contact terahertz characterization techniques to study charge carrier transport in phase-stable hybrid perovskite materials. The project, titled "LEAPS-MPS: TIME- AND DEPTH-RESOLVED CHARGE CARRIER TRANSPORT IN PHASE STABLE HYBRID PEROVSKITES", aims to increase the probing window from picosecond to millisecond timescales to understand the dynamic coupling among electronic, optical, and structural properties of these materials. The research will complement terahertz studies with photoluminescence and X-ray characterization to investigate halide segregation and ionic motion, with the goal of finding pathways to develop stable hybrid perovskites for solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The project also involves training next-generation scientists through undergraduate and graduate student research opportunities, as well as mentorship of young women in STEM fields through the university's Girls in Science camp.
