The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $517,450 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Notre Dame to create a new class of "heterogeneous rare-gas quantum solids" - multilayer thin films composed of solid neon, argon, and (optionally) a monolayer of solid helium. The goal is to study the unique electronic properties of these quantum materials, which can exhibit unusual quantum effects on their surfaces, interfaces, and in the bulk. The project will provide comprehensive interdisciplinary training to undergraduate and graduate students to prepare the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
