This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $212,965 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for a 3-year project focused on understanding topological excitons in novel materials.
The project uses advanced techniques such as ultrafast and helicity-dependent photocurrent microscopy to study the unique electronic properties and quantum phenomena of topological excitons, which could enable new paradigms for quantum computing and spintronic applications. The research aims to characterize the velocity, lifetime, spin, and effects of magnetic fields on these topological excitons. The award also supports opportunities to train undergraduate and graduate students in quantum technology, nanodevice fabrication, and topological materials research. No subawards are planned under this grant.
