This federal Project Grant award, valued at $284,687, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant's objective is to advance the understanding and synthesis of rhombohedral transition metal dichalcogenides, a class of two-dimensional ferroelectric semiconductors. Key focus areas include: Synthesizing large single crystals of molybdenum and tungsten-based rhombohedral transition metal dichalcogenides on semiconductor substrates, with control over substitutional doping via chemical vapor deposition. Applying advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to study the ferroelectric domain dynamics and optimize switching speeds in these materials. Measuring electronic transport properties to characterize how ferroelectric polarization affects charge transport through multilayer domain configurations and dopant interactions. This research aims to improve the integration potential, switching speed, and charge transport characteristics of ferroelectric two-dimensional semiconductors, with the goal of influencing the design of future memory and logic-in-memory devices. The grant was awarded to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) and runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029.
