The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,035 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Arizona. The overarching objective of this 3-year project, starting on October 1, 2024, is to realize novel optical and electronic devices using unprecedented spatial control of interlayer excitons (IXs) in two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures. The research aims to demonstrate spatial control of valley-polarized IX flow and IX tunneling across potential barriers, which could enable low-energy consumption valleytronic devices and quantum technology applications such as on-chip interferometers and gyroscopes. The project will also train graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in nanoscale semiconductor device research, with a focus on promoting diversity in STEM fields.
