This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $166,212 to the University of Texas at Austin supports research to advance the understanding and control of single-photon emission in atomically thin semiconductor materials. The key objectives are: Demonstration, characterization, and optimization of dynamically controllable, strain-dependent single-photon emission from atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors like WSe2, MoSe2, and MoTe2, using a recently developed nanofabricated material platform. Creation of closely spaced, electrically controllable single-photon emitters and investigation of their potential interactions and coupling. This work is establishing a fundamental understanding of single-photon emitters in atomically thin TMD semiconductors and approaches for dynamically controlling their optical properties. The results will support the development of quantum communications and information processing systems. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
