The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $241,171 Project Grant to the University of Notre Dame's Notre Dame Research division, doing business as the Office of Research, under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The goal of this 5-year research project is to develop atomic force microscope (AFM) techniques to characterize and control the atomic-scale properties of two-dimensional materials like tungsten diselenide and hexagonal boron nitride, which are promising candidates for single photon emitters used in quantum technologies. The research aims to understand the role of nanoscale strain, defects, and substrate interactions on the performance variability of these single photon emitters, a critical step toward realizing their practical application. In addition to advancing scientific understanding in this area, the project supports the development and dissemination of educational materials on using advanced AFM methods for materials research, as well as the implementation of related laboratory projects for students from middle school to graduate level.
