This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $378,596 to Brigham Young University (BYU) to acquire a multipurpose X-ray diffractometer for materials research. The new instrument will enable researchers across disciplines such as chemistry, physics, geology, and engineering to study the atomic structure of advanced materials at greater depths, leading to advancements in areas like lightweight vehicles, magnetic memory systems, medical/industrial chemical synthesis, and terahertz technology. The instrument will also serve as a vital research tool for student experiential learning, with half of the users being undergraduates, and it will be utilized in outreach efforts to increase female and Hispanic student participation in STEM fields in Utah. The award period runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027, and no subawards are planned.
