The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $310,519 CAREER grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, for a project titled "STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND OPTOELECTRONICS OF ANHARMONIC SOFT SEMICONDUCTORS". The 5-year project, which commenced on April 1, 2024, aims to establish fundamental concepts on how soft semiconductors like metal halide perovskites function with extreme lattice anharmonicity. The research will utilize advanced spectroscopic techniques and computational modeling to quantify lattice anharmonicity and its impact on charge carrier relaxation, characterize ferroelastic domain wall optoelectronics, and identify new two-dimensional and molecular soft semiconductors. The educational focus of the project includes incorporating computation into instruction and exploring the visualization and sonification of scientific data. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
