This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Wyoming and Colorado State University to explore the novel magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets. The $232,786 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027, aims to investigate the unconventional magnetic domains and metastable magnetic phase transitions in these materials, as well as uncover the mechanisms underlying magnetic switching. The project employs an interdisciplinary approach using experimental and theoretical methods, including nanofabrication, magnetotransport measurements, scanning probe microscopy, and first-principles calculations. The research is expected to revolutionize the design and function of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets, enabling the development of energy-efficient, atomic-scale probabilistic bits for next-generation computing. The project also provides substantial research and educational opportunities for underrepresented minority, first-generation, and female students in the fields of condensed matter physics, nanoscience, and nanotechnology.
