The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $181,543 Project Grant to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to understand and manipulate magnetism and spin dynamics in intercalated van der Waals magnets, which are atomically thin layers of two-dimensional magnetic materials. The research aims to establish the relationships between intercalation and magnetism, tune the influence of charge carriers and magnetic moments on magnetic properties, and probe and manipulate magnetization and spin dynamics. The project will create comprehensive knowledge about magnetism and spin dynamics in this class of two-dimensional magnets, offering a new scientific paradigm for understanding and engineering these materials. The research also includes interactive STEM education outreach programs targeting disadvantaged rural and suburban schools.
