This $563,899 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research at the University of Virginia from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of the role and properties of crystal lattices in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide materials across variable length and time scales. Specifically, the researchers will...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering (NSF ENG) program (CFDA 47.041), supports fundamental research to develop a scalable manufacturing method for preparing phase-pure ferroelectric hafnium oxide and hafnium zirconium oxide materials. The $125,152 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) aims to advance the understanding of how atomic layer deposition process parameters impact amorphous structure and its...
This $359,907 three-year project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research by the University of Alabama to characterize the chemical short-range order in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys. The research aims to evaluate two key hypotheses: 1) that short-range order in MPEAs reaches a stable state independent of fabrication conditions, and 2) that the relaxation...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to fund research on disordered quantum matter.
