This NSF-funded project grant, titled "NSF-BSF: CHIRAL INTERACTIONS IN SUPERCONDUCTING-MAGNETIC JUNCTIONS," was awarded $446,318 by the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research on August 1, 2024. The project aims to study spin manipulation and control through the interactions of chiral molecules, ferromagnets, and superconductors, with the goal of improving interconnects between magnetic bits for advanced computing applications. The research will explore phase coherence, anomalous magnetoresistance, and chirality-induced spin polarization effects in these hybrid superconducting-magnetic-chiral systems. The project is led by a team of principal investigators with complementary expertise in transport measurements, device fabrication, and local-probe techniques. This work is expected to provide fundamental and practical understanding of these systems, enabling the manipulation, transfer, and exploitation of magnetic information for the next generation of computing.
