This $180,489 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Purdue University to develop novel semiconductor materials and devices based on scandium-aluminum nitride for infrared photonic applications.
The key research objectives include designing and synthesizing high-quality scandium-containing nitride semiconductors, characterizing their structural and optical properties, and demonstrating infrared light emission, detection, and modulation capabilities using intersubband transitions in heterostructure devices. The project also incorporates educational and outreach activities to engage K-12 students and teachers in materials science topics. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
