This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), funds research to investigate collective quantum behavior of electrons at extremely low density. The $543,476 award to Montana State University is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027. Key objectives include studying the transition between metallic/superconducting and insulating/non-superconducting states in quasi-one-dimensional condensed matter systems, exploring new transition-metal oxides and chalcogenides for novel material discovery, and providing training for undergraduate and graduate students in experimental techniques and quantum physics. The project leverages materials synthesis, single-crystal growth, neutron diffraction, and electrical/thermal/magnetic measurements to generate new knowledge and potentially fuel technological advances. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
