This $310,520 federal project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports the development of a new class of two-dimensional quantum emitters based on in-plane transition metal dichalcogenide quantum dots. The research, led by The Pennsylvania State University, focuses on studying the growth, structure, and optical/electronic properties of these quantum dot heterostructures, with the goal of enabling tunable quantum photonics applications. The project encompasses fundamental materials research, advanced characterization techniques, and the training of graduate and undergraduate students in a collaborative research environment. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
