The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This 3-year grant, beginning on October 1, 2023, aims to identify new 2D ferroelectric materials, understand how to control their properties, and explore the impact of their polarization on electrical conductivity. The research employs a combination of experimental techniques and theoretical modeling to contribute to the exploration of novel materials for future electronic devices, particularly in the development of multifunctional scalable structures for non-volatile memory and logic applications.
As part of this award, the University of Nebraska is receiving a sub-award to conduct research on tunable electronic properties of 2D ferroelectrics and related structures. This work will further the broader objectives of the project by providing insights into the physical mechanisms underlying ferroelectric ordering and its coupling with electronic transport properties in these 2D materials.
